Euro Pacific Funds
Funds Expense Example – Unaudited
April 30, 2011

Expense Example
As a shareholder of the EuroPac International Value Fund, EuroPac International Bond Fund and EP Small Companies Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”), you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments, and redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses.  The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period specified in the tables below.

Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the headings “Actual Performance” provides actual account values and actual expenses.  You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.  Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column, in the row entitled “Expenses Paid during Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the tables under the headings “Hypothetical (5% annual return before expenses)” provides hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ 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 period.  You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds.  To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (load) or contingent deferred sales charges.  Therefore, the information under the headings “Hypothetical (5% annual return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.  In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Unaudited
April 30, 2011

Note 1 – Organization
EuroPac International Value Fund (the ‘‘International Value Fund’’), EuroPac International Bond Fund (the “International Bond Fund”), and EP Asia Small Companies Fund (the “Asia Small Companies Fund”) (each a “Fund” and collectively the ‘‘Funds’’) are organized as a diversified series of Investment Managers Series Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”) which is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).  The International Value Fund commenced operations on April 7, 2010, and its primary investment objective is to provide income and long-term capital appreciation. The International Bond Fund commenced operations on November 15, 2010, and its primary investment objective is to provide current income and capital appreciation.  The Asia Small Companies Fund commenced operations on December 1, 2010, and its primary investment objective is to provide long term capital appreciation.

Note 2 –Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of its financial statements.  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 and disclosures in the financial statements.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

(a) Valuation of Investments
The Funds value equity securities at the last reported sale price on the principal exchange or in the principal over the counter (OTC) market in which such securities are traded, as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE on the day the securities are being valued or, if there are no sales, at the mean between the last available bid and asked prices on that day.  Securities traded on the NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”).  Debt securities are valued at the mean between the last available bid and asked prices for such securities, or if such prices are not available, at prices for securities of comparable maturity, quality and type.  All other types of securities, including restricted securities and securities for which market quotations are not readily available, are valued at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established in good faith by the Board of Trustees.  Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Fair value pricing may be applied to non-U.S. securities.  The trading hours for most non-U.S. securities end prior to the close of the NYSE, the time that the Funds’ net asset value per share (“NAV”) are calculated.  The occurrence of certain events after the close of non-U.S. markets, but prior to the close of the NYSE (such as a significant surge or decline in the U.S. market) may result in an adjustment to the trading prices of non-U.S. securities when non-U.S. markets open on the following business day.  If such events occur, the Funds may value non-U.S. securities at fair value, taking into account such events, when the NAV is calculated.

(b) Investment Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis.  Dividend income is recorded net of applicable withholding taxes on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.  Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.  Discounts or premiums on debt securities are accreted or amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method.  Expenses incurred by the Trust with respect to more than one fund are allocated in proportion to the net assets of each fund except where allocation of direct expenses to each Fund or an alternative allocation method can be more appropriately made.

Offering costs incurred with the start up of the Funds are being amortized on a straight line basis over a period of twelve months from commencement of operations.  The International Value Fund, International Bond Fund and Asia Small Companies Fund, respectively, incurred offering costs of approximately $32,785, $18,215 and 18,113 are being amortized over a one year period.

Euro Pacific Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Unaudited
April 30, 2011 (Continued)

(c) Foreign Currency Translation
The Funds’ records are maintained in U.S. dollars.  The value of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period.  The currencies are translated into U.S. dollars by using the exchange rates quoted at the close of the London Stock Exchange prior to when the Funds’ NAV is next determined. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions.

The Funds do not isolate that portion of its net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from the impact arising from changes in market prices.  Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currency.

Net realized foreign currency transaction gains and losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the differences between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid.  Net unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rates.

(d) Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Funds’ may utilize forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) under which it is obligated to exchange currencies on specified future dates at specified rates, and are subject to the translations of foreign exchange rates fluctuations.  All contracts are “marked-to-market” daily and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on foreign currency translations.  The Funds’ record realized gains or losses at the time the forward contract is settled.  Counter-parties to these forward contracts are major U.S. financial institutions.

(e) Federal Income Taxes
The Funds intend to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all investment company taxable income and any net realized gains to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for federal income or excise taxes.

The Income Tax Statement requires an evaluation of tax positions taken (or expected to be taken) in the course of preparing a Fund’s tax returns to determine whether these positions meet a “more-likely-than-not” standard that, based on the technical merits, have a more than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained by a taxing authority upon examination. A tax position that meets the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations.

The Income Tax Statement requires management of the Funds to analyze all open tax years, as defined by IRS statute of limitations for all major jurisdictions, including federal tax authorities and certain state tax authorities. As of and during the period ended April 30, 2011, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund has no examination in progress and are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

(f) Distributions to Shareholders
The International Value Fund will make distributions of net investment income quarterly and capital gains, if any, at least annually.  The International Bond Fund will make distributions of net investment income monthly and net capital gains, if any, at least annually.  The Asia Small Companies Fund will make distributions of net investment income and net capital gains, if any, at least annually.  Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.  The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U. S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Euro Pacific Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Unaudited
April 30, 2011 (Continued)

The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from the characterization for federal income tax purposes due to differences in the recognition of income, expense and gain/(loss) items for financial statement and tax purposes.  Where appropriate, reclassifications between net asset accounts are made for such differences that are permanent in nature.

Note 3 – Investment Advisory and Other Agreements
The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Euro Pacific Asset Management, LLC (the “Advisor”).  Under the terms of the Agreement, the International Value Fund, International Bond Fund and Asia Small Companies Fund pay a monthly investment advisory fee to the Advisor at the annual rate of 1.15%, 0.60% and 1.15% of each Funds average daily net assets, respectively.  The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its fee and, if necessary, to reimburse other operating expenses in order to limit total annual operating expenses to 1.75%, 1.15% and 1.75% of each Funds average daily net assets until March 1, 2012, February 28, 2012, and February 28, 2012, respectively.

The Asia Small Companies Fund is sub-advised by New Sheridan Advisors, Inc. (the “Sub-advisor”). Pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement the Advisor pays a portion of the annual advisory fee of 1.15% of average daily net assets of the Fund to the Sub-advisor.

For the six months ended April 30, 2011, the Advisor waived $33,110 of advisory fees for the International Value Fund.  For the period November 15, 2010 through April 30, 2011, the Advisor waived $58,698 of advisory fees for the International Bond Fund.  For the period December 1, 2010 through April 30, 2011, the Advisor waived $64,745 of advisory fees for the Asia Small Companies Fund.  The Advisor may recover from each Fund fees and expenses previously waived or reimbursed, if the Funds’ expense ratio, including the recovered expenses, falls below the expense limits in effect at the time the expenses were incurred.  At April 30, 2011, the amount of these potentially recoverable expenses were as follows:

  
 
International Value Fund
   
International Bond Fund
   
Asia Small Companies Fund
 
October 31, 2010
  $101,799     $-     $-

The Advisor is permitted to seek reimbursement from each Fund for a period of three fiscal years following the fiscal year in which such reimbursements occurred.

Grand Distribution Services, LLC (“GDS”) serves as the Funds’ distributor; UMB Fund Services, Inc. (“UMBFS”), an affiliate of GDS, serves as the Funds’ fund accountant, transfer agent and co-administrator; and Mutual Fund Administration Corporation (“MFAC”) serves as the Funds’ other co-administrator. UMB Bank, n.a. (“UMBNA”), an affiliate of UMBFS, serves as the Funds’ custodian.

The amount of net selling commissions retained by the Distributor and/or a broker-dealer affiliated with the Advisor for the six months ended April 30, 2011 was $131,539 for the International Value Fund.  The amount of net selling commissions retained by the Distributor and/or a broker-dealer affiliated with the Advisor for the period of November 15, 2010 through April 30, 2011 was $150,962 for the International Bond Fund.

Certain trustees and officers of the Trust are employees of UMBFS or MFAC. The Funds do not compensate trustees and officers affiliated with the Funds’ co-administrators.  For the six months ended April 30, 2011, the Funds’ allocated fees incurred for Trustees who are not affiliated with the Fund’s co-administrators are reported on the Statement of Operations.

For the period November 15, 2010 through April 30, 2011, purchase and sales of investments, excluding short-term investment, for the International Bond Fund were $39,649,295 and $4,292,442, respectively.

Note 6 - Distribution Plan
The Trust, on behalf of the Funds’, has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, that allows the Fund to pay distribution fees for the sale and distribution of its shares.  The Plan provides for the payment of distribution fees at the annual rate of up to 0.25% of average daily net assets, payable to the Advisor as the distribution coordinator.

For the six months ended April 30, 2011, distribution fees incurred are disclosed on the Statement of Operations.
  
Note 7 – Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred.  However, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Note 8 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements.  It also provides guidance on determining when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability, when a transaction is not orderly, and how that information must be incorporated into a fair value measurement.
Under Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s investments.  These inputs are summarized into three broad levels as described below:

 
·
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.

 
·
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.  These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

 
·
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of April 30, 2011, in valuing the Funds’ assets carried at fair value:

Note 9– Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements

In January 2010, Financial Accounting Stands Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (“ASU”).  The ASU requires enhanced disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis relating to Level 3 measurements.  This disclosure will become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  Management is currently evaluating the impact this disclosure may have on the Fund’s financial statements.

Note 10 – Events Subsequent to the Fiscal Period End
The Funds have adopted financial reporting rules regarding subsequent events which require an entity to recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet.  Management has evaluated the Funds’ related events and transactions and there were no events or transactions that occurred during this period that materially impacted the amounts or disclosures in the Funds’ financial statements.

Board Consideration of Investment Advisory Agreement

At an in-person meeting held on September 13-14, 2010, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Investment Managers Series Trust (the “Trust”), including the trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”) as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), reviewed and unanimously approved the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust and Euro Pacific Asset Management, LLC (the “Investment Advisor”) with respect to the EuroPac International Bond Fund and the EP Asia Small Companies Fund series of the Trust (the “Funds”) for an initial two-year term ending October 31, 2012, and reviewed and unanimously approved the sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement” and together with the Advisory Agreement the “Fund Advisory Agreements”) between the Investment Advisor and New Sheridan, Inc. (formerly known as Euro Pacific Halter Asia Management, Inc.) (the “Sub-Advisor”) with respect to the EP Asia Small Companies Fund for an initial two-year term ending October 31, 2012.  In approving the Fund Advisory Agreements, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, determined that each of the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the respective Funds.

Background

In advance of the meeting, the Board received information about the Fund Advisory Agreements from the Investment Advisor, the Sub-Advisor, and from Mutual Fund Administration Corporation (“MFAC”) and UMB Fund Services, Inc., the Trust’s co-administrators. The materials, among other things, included an outline of the services to be provided by the Investment Advisor to each Fund (including the relevant personnel responsible for these services and their experience); reports comparing the proposed management fee and the estimated total expenses of each Fund compared to those of groups of comparable funds selected by MFAC (the “peer groups”); and a summary of the Investment Advisor’s and the Sub-Advisor’s policies, including their codes of ethics and compliance manuals.  In addition, the Board received a memorandum from the independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees discussing the legal standards under the 1940 Act and other applicable law for the Board’s consideration of the proposed approval of the Fund Advisory Agreements. The Board considered a presentation made by representatives of the Investment Advisor and the Sub-Advisor at the meeting and discussed certain information the representatives had provided in advance of the meeting, as well as other more current information, and the Board asked questions of the representatives of the Investment Advisor and the Sub-Advisor.  Before voting on the Fund Advisory Agreements, the Independent Trustees discussed approval of the Fund Advisory Agreements in a private session at which no representatives of the Investment Advisor or Sub-Advisor were present.

In approving the Fund Advisory Agreements, the Board and the Independent Trustees considered a variety of factors, including those factors discussed below.  In their deliberations, the Board and the Independent Trustees did not identify any particular factor that was controlling in determining whether to approve the Fund Advisory Agreements, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

The Board considered the overall quality of services expected to be provided to the Funds by the Investment Advisor and Sub-Advisor (with respect to the EP Asia Small Companies Fund) and discussed the specific responsibilities of the Investment Advisor and the Sub-Advisor under the Fund Advisory Agreements.  In addition, the Board considered the background, qualifications, education and experience of the Investment Advisor’s and Sub-Advisor’s key portfolio management and operational personnel; their overall financial positions; their resources and efforts to retain and motivate capable personnel to serve the Funds; and the overall general quality and depth of their organization. The Board also took into account the experience of the Investment Advisor's and Sub-Advisor’s senior management; their investment philosophy and processes, including their brokerage and trading practices; their disaster recovery and contingency planning; and their commitment and systems in place with regard to compliance with applicable laws and regulations.  With respect to the EuroPac International Bond Fund, the Board noted that the Investment Advisor had not previously managed any fixed income funds and therefore had not provided any comparable historical performance.  The Board noted, however, the Investment Advisor’s belief that its portfolio management skill and macroeconomic views also applied to fixed income markets.  With respect to the EP Asia Small Companies Fund, the Board noted that the Fund’s portfolio manager had not previously managed an Asian small-cap fund, but noted that they had considered the performance of the EP China Fund, which was managed by the same portfolio manager, earlier in the meeting.  The Board and the Independent Trustees determined that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Investment Advisor and Sub-Advisor to the respective Funds were satisfactory.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratio

The Board and the Independent Trustees then considered the proposed advisory fees and expenses for the Funds.
 
With respect to the EuroPac International Bond Fund, the Board considered a comparison of the proposed fees and expenses of the Fund to the fees and expenses of its peer group of funds compiled by MFAC using the Morningstar “World Bond” category.  The Board observed that the Fund’s proposed advisory fee was below the peer group average and the total expense ratio was slightly higher than the peer group average, but was reasonably within the range of expense ratios.  The Board also noted that the Investment Advisor would agree to limit the Fund’s expenses.  The Board and the Independent Trustees determined that the advisory fees and total expenses for the Fund were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Advisor.

With respect to the EP Asia Small Companies Fund, the Board considered a comparison of the proposed fees and expenses of the Fund to the fees and expenses of its peer group of funds compiled by MFAC using the Morningstar “Pacific/Asia ex-Japan Stock” category.  The Board observed that the Fund’s proposed advisory fee and total expense ratio were below the peer group averages.  The Board also noted that the Investment Advisor would agree to limit the Fund’s expenses.  The Board and the Independent Trustees determined that the advisory and sub-advisory fees and total expenses for the Fund were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Advisor and Sub-Advisor.

Profitability of Fund Advisory Agreements

The Board and the Independent Trustees reviewed the Investment Advisor’s and Sub-Advisor’s estimated profitability and revenues with respect to the Funds and determined that they were reasonable.  The Board also considered other potential benefits, in addition to profitability, that could arise from the Investment Advisor’s and the Sub-Advisor’s relationship with the Funds.

Economies of Scale

The Board and the Independent Trustees considered whether the Funds would realize any economies of scale.  They noted that in the Funds’ startup periods, their asset levels would likely be too low to achieve significant economies of scale, and that the matter of such economies would be reviewed in the future as the Funds’ assets grow.

Conclusion

Based on these and other considerations, the Board and the Independent Trustees concluded that the approval of the Fund Advisory Agreements would be in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders and, accordingly, approved the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement (with respect to the EP Asia Small Companies Fund) for initial two-year terms.
