What affected the Fund's performance this period?
The Fund outperformed its benchmark index, generating a return of 5.93%, as compared to the 1.25% return for the US Aggregate Bond Index.
For the overall market, 10-year US Treasury rates began the year at 3.92%, reached an interim high of 4.70% in April, declined substantially to 3.62% in September as the Fed began cutting rates, and then rose again sharply to 4.57% into year-end. Bonds of lower-rated companies outperformed higher-quality more rate-sensitive bonds in a period of strong economic growth and a risk-on environment generally.
The Fund’s outperformance was generated by portfolio positioning that was shorter in duration and slightly more credit sensitive, active trading around volatility, and selective use of hedges.
In addition, event-driven gains in BlueTriton Brands, Six Flags, JBS Foods, Hawaiian Airlines, GEO Group, SiriusXM, Macquarie AirFinance, and Warner Music Group were realized by mergers, acquisitions, credit rating upgrades and other corporate events.
Longer duration high quality bonds were a drag on performance as interest rates rose and the US Treasury curve steepened in Q4. However, strong underwriting and credit selection allowed the Fund to avoid any adverse credit events during the year.
Interest rate hedges helped cushion the impact of the higher move in yields. Short duration and floating rate instruments also provided solid returns while avoiding the volatility of longer-term rates.

What affected the Fund's performance this period?
The Shelton International Select Equity Fund returned 3.7% in 2024, underperforming the MSCI AC World ex-US index return of 5.5% by 1.8%.
Large growth stocks with momentum led the way, even outside the United States.These are areas the fund was underweight in. The strategy strives to neutralize portfolio exposure to such styles, and tends to find better opportunities in smaller stocks where the information inefficiencies are greater.
Positions in Israel and Japan benefitted the fund, while political turmoil in France and Canada pulled down our positions there.China and Hong Kong were mixed – these regions underperformed most of the year except for a spastic rebound in late September when the Chinese Central bank undertook a round of monetary easing.
Momentum as a style dominated equity markets globally, not only for large cap US stocks like the Magnificent Seven, but broadly across Europe and most of Asia as well.This dynamic was particularly strong in sectors like technology and select consumer discretionary names, with investors gravitating toward companies demonstrating consistent earnings resilience and strong pricing power.

What affected the Fund's performance this period?
The Shelton Emerging Markets Fund returned 1.66% in 2024, underperforming the MSCI Emerging Markets return of 8.00% by -6.35%. Key drivers of performance during 2024 included country exposures, specifically overweights in Latin America, and an underweight in India.These positions were minor, but added up to a considerable headwind during the year. The fund's exposure to momentum stocks was low. Additionally, the sizeable positions of Taiwan Semiconductor (over 10%) and Tencent (nearly 5%) in the index are hard to replicate in a diversified portfolio.
Other contributors were positions in certain stocks including Indian consultancy Wipro and Taiwan-based Realtek Semiconductor as well as over-weight allocations versus the benchmark to certain strongly performing industries including airlines and textiles. Additionally, positions in Anta Sports and Korean Air detracted from performance.
Regional Insights
• China: Chinese equities lagged significantly due to structural challenges in the property sector, weak consumer confidence, and subdued export demand. Domestic stimulus measures offered some relief but were insufficient to reignite broader investor sentiment.The fund remained inline in our allocation and avoided most of the volatility.
• India and ASEAN: India and Southeast Asia stood out as bright spots, with robust GDP growth and strong domestic consumption driving equity gains. Technology and infrastructure-related sectors in these markets were notable outperformers. The fund was underweight to India, detracting from performance
• Latin America: Latin American equities delivered mixed results. Mexico and Brazil underperformed significantly after strong 2023 performances, impacted by political instability and weaker commodity exports, particularly to China. The fund continued to hold larger positions in the region, reversing many of the gain from the previous year.

What affected the Fund's performance this period?
The Shelton Emerging Markets Fund returned 1.41% in 2024, underperforming the MSCI Emerging Markets return of 8.00% by -6.59%. Key drivers of performance during 2024 included country exposures, specifically overweights in Latin America, and an underweight in India. These positions were minor, but added up to a considerable headwind during the year. The fund's exposure to momentum stocks was low. Additionally, the sizeable positions of Taiwan Semiconductor (over 10%) and Tencent (nearly 5%) in the index are hard to replicate in a diversified portfolio.
Other contributors were positions in certain stocks including Indian consultancy Wipro and Taiwan-based Realtek Semiconductor as well as over-weight allocations versus the benchmark to certain strongly performing industries including airlines and textiles. Additionally, positions in Anta Sports and Korean Air detracted from performance.
Regional Insights
• China: Chinese equities lagged significantly due to structural challenges in the property sector, weak consumer confidence, and subdued export demand. Domestic stimulus measures offered some relief but were insufficient to reignite broader investor sentiment.The fund remained inline in our allocation and avoided most of the volatility.
• India and ASEAN: India and Southeast Asia stood out as bright spots, with robust GDP growth and strong domestic consumption driving equity gains. Technology and infrastructure-related sectors in these markets were notable outperformers.The fund was underweight to India, detracting from performance
• Latin America: Latin American equities delivered mixed results. Mexico and Brazil underperformed significantly after strong 2023 performances, impacted by political instability and weaker commodity exports, particularly to China. The fund continued to hold larger positions in the region, reversing many of the gain from the previous year.

What affected the Fund's performance this period?
During 2024, ICON Consumer Select underperformed relative to the S&P Composite 1500 Index, with a total return of 12.48% compared to the benchmark's 23.95%. This underperformance can be attributed to the fund’s objective of focusing on the Financials, Consumers Discretionary, and Consumer Staples sectors. Within the sectors, Consumer Staples was the largest detractor with a total effect of -2.83%, particularly impacted by the Packaged Food and Meats industry, which alone contributed -2.37% to the underperformance, almost entirely due to its holding of Lamb Weston Holdings. The fund’s strongest contributors came from the Financials sector, with Property & Casualty Insurance and Transaction & Payment Processing Services being the top performance contributors to the fund.

What affected the Fund's performance this period?
During 2024, ICON Consumer Select underperformed relative to the S&P Composite 1500 Index, with a total return of 12.13% compared to the benchmark's 23.95%. This underperformance can be attributed to the fund’s objective of focusing on the Financials, Consumers Discretionary, and Consumer Staples sectors. Within the sectors, Consumer Staples was the largest detractor with a total effect of -2.83%, particularly impacted by the Packaged Food and Meats industry, which alone contributed -2.37% to the underperformance, almost entirely due to its holding of Lamb Weston Holdings. The fund’s strongest contributors came from the Financials sector, with Property & Casualty Insurance and Transaction & Payment Processing Services being the top performance contributors to the fund.

What affected the Fund's performance this period?
During 2024, ICON Equity Fund underperformed relative to the S&P Composite 1500, with a total return of 5.29% compared to the benchmark's 23.95%, resulting in a variation in total return of -18.66%. Within the sectors, Consumer Discretionary and Information Technology notably detracted from performance, with total effects of -4.28% and -6.01% respectively. The largest contributors to these declines were the Footwear subindustry within Consumer Discretionary and the Semiconductors subindustry within Information Technology, which recorded total effects of -2.30% and -3.84% respectively.
ICON Equity Fund experienced a delayed recovery in its relative performance against the S&P Composite 1500, with total effects showing a gradual improvement from a decline of -4.73% in the first quarter of 2024 to a slight gain of 3.02% by the end of the fourth quarter. The market leadership the first half of 2024 was very narrow as investors chased unique growth stories such as the Magnificent 7, artificial intelligence and weight loss drugs.

What affected the Fund's performance this period?
During 2024, ICON Equity Fund underperformed relative to the S&P Composite 1500, with a total return of 5.05% compared to the benchmark's 23.95%, resulting in a variation in total return of -18.90%. Within the sectors, Consumer Discretionary and Information Technology notably detracted from performance, with total effects of -4.28% and -6.01% respectively. The largest contributors to these declines were the Footwear subindustry within Consumer Discretionary and the Semiconductors subindustry within Information Technology, which recorded total effects of -2.30% and -3.84% respectively.
ICON Equity Fund experienced a delayed recovery in its relative performance against the S&P Composite 1500, with total effects showing a gradual improvement from a decline of -4.71% in the first quarter of 2024 to a slight gain of 2.99% by the end of the fourth quarter. The market leadership the first half of 2024 was very narrow as investors chased unique growth stories such as the Magnificent 7, artificial intelligence and weight loss drugs. Those first two categories are in Information Technology, Consumer Discretionary and Telecommunication Services. Sticking to its valuation investment methodology, ICON found most of those situations too expensive for purchase. With the Federal Reserve beginning to ease monetary policy, the leadership became more broad the second half of 2024. Most of the deficiency relative to the benchmark was in the first half of the year.

What affected the Fund's performance this period?
During 2024, the ICON Equity Income Fund underperformed the S&P Composite 1500, with a total return of 21.32% compared to the benchmark's 23.96%, resulting in a performance variation of -2.63%. Notably, the Financials sector detracted the most from the fund's performance. Conversely, Industrials and Utilities sectors were the top two performing sectors in the equity holdings, as well strong returns from the fixed income holdings.
With respect to the fund's fixed income investments, portfolio duration, a measure of interest rate risk, continued to be relatively short throughout the year. We were able to sustain a high dividend yield due to success in our use of securities which experienced high interest rate resets as they moved to floating rate status pricing against high short-term rates In addition, we continued to successfully capture higher yields with airline enhanced equipment trust certificates (EETCs). We continued our use of high yielding closed end bond funds.

What affected the Fund's performance this period?
During 2024, the ICON Equity Income Fund underperformed the S&P Composite 1500, with a total return of 21.32% compared to the benchmark's 23.96%, resulting in a performance variation of -2.63%. Notably, the Financials sector detracted the most from the fund's performance, with a total effect of -4.97%, where Regional Banks. Conversely, Industrials and Utilities sectors were the top two performing sectors in the equity holdings, as well strong returns from the fixed income holdings.
With respect to the fund's fixed income investments, portfolio duration, a measure of interest rate risk, continued to be relatively short throughout the year. We were able to sustain a high dividend yield due to success in our use of securities which experienced high interest rate resets as they moved to floating rate status pricing against high short-term rates. In addition, we continued to successfully capture higher yields with airline enhanced equipment trust certificates (EETCs). We continued our use of high yielding closed end bond funds. We believe that the fund’s event driven, value-oriented fixed income strategy continues to be successful with an abundance of closed end fund arbitrage available and special opportunities.

What affected the Fund's performance this period?
Once again in 2024, the fixed income market was dominated by concerns regarding the Federal Reserve. The expectations for interest rate cuts rose throughout the year and were finally realized. However, as the year progressed investors began to speculate on when the Federal Reserve might slow its rate reductions and concerns over inflation risks arising from the new administration’s policies and ongoing economic strength emerged. This led to longer dated US Treasury yields to rise after trending lower earlier in the year.
Corporate bond yield spreads (the yield in excess of comparable US Treasuries) continued to be narrower than we found attractive. This has been the case for several years. Our interest has generally been on special or unique situations.
Total returns for the fund was 8.20% for the year ending December 31, 2024 compared to 2.26% for its benchmark, the Bloomberg US Universal Index.
Our portfolio duration, a measure of interest rate risk, continued to be relatively short throughout the year. We were able to sustain a high dividend yield due to success in our use of securities which experienced high interest rate resets as they moved to floating rate status pricing against high short-term rates. As the year went on many of these bonds were retired by the issuers.
In addition, we continued to successfully capture higher yields with airline enhanced equipment trust certificates (EETCs). We found attractive opportunities in select asset backed securities involving Amazon warehouses, CVS drugstores and reverse mortgages.
We continued our use of high yielding closed end bond funds, and our preferred stock strategy involving dividend capture. We believe that the fund’s event driven, value-oriented strategy continues to be successful with an abundance of closed end fund arbitrage available and special opportunities.

What affected the Fund's performance this period?
Once again in 2024, the fixed income market was dominated by concerns regarding the Federal Reserve. The expectations for interest rate cuts rose throughout the year and were finally realized. However, as the year progressed investors began to speculate on when the Federal Reserve might slow its rate reductions and concerns over inflation risks arising from the new administration’s policies and ongoing economic strength emerged. This led to longer dated US Treasury yields to rise after trending lower earlier in the year.
Corporate bond yield spreads (the yield in excess of comparable US Treasuries) continued to be narrower than we found attractive. This has been the case for several years. Our interest has generally been on special or unique situations.
Total returns for the fund was 8.05% for the year ending December 31, 2024 compared to 2.26% for its benchmark, the Bloomberg US Universal Index.
Our portfolio duration, a measure of interest rate risk, continued to be relatively short throughout the year. We were able to sustain a high dividend yield due to success in our use of securities which experienced high interest rate resets as they moved to floating rate status pricing against high short-term rates. As the year went on many of these bonds were retired by the issuers.
In addition, we continued to successfully capture higher yields with airline enhanced equipment trust certificates (EETCs). We found attractive opportunities in select asset backed securities involving Amazon warehouses, CVS drugstores and reverse mortgages.
We continued our use of high yielding closed end bond funds, and our preferred stock strategy involving dividend capture. We believe that the fund’s event driven, value-oriented strategy continues to be successful with an abundance of closed end fund arbitrage available and special opportunities.

*For centrally cleared swaps, when a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of the swap contract, the Fund as a seller of credit protection will either pay a net amount equal to the par value of the defaulted reference entity and deliver the reference entity or pay a net amount equal to the par value of the defaulted reference entity less its recovery value.
**For centrally cleared swaps, implied credit spread, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the fair value of the credit default swap contracts as of period-end will serve as an indicator of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of the referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/ selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the contract. Generally, wider credit spreads represent a perceived deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the swap contract.
***For centrally cleared swaps, the notional amount represents the maximum potential the Fund may receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of the swap contract.

Note 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Each fund included herein is deemed to be an individual reporting segment and is not part of a consolidated reporting entity. The objective and strategy of each fund is used by the investment manager to make investment decisions, and the results of the operations, as shown in the statements of operations and the financial highlights for each fund is the information utilized for the day-to-day management of the funds. Each fund is party to the expense agreements as disclosed in the notes to the financial statements and resources are not allocated to a fund based on performance measurements. Due to the significance of oversight and their role, the Advisor is deemed to be the Chief Operating Decision Maker.
SCM Trust (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust formed in July 1988 is registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. As of December 31, 2024, the Trust consists of ten separate series, three of which are included in these financial statements. Shelton Capital Management (“Shelton”) serves as Investment Advisor (the “Advisor”) to the funds of the Trust.
The Shelton Emerging Markets Fund (“Emerging Markets Fund”) is an open-end diversified series of the Trust. The inception date of the Fund is June 26, 2020. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is the successor fund to the ICON Emerging Markets Fund, a series of ICON Funds, pursuant to a reorganization that occurred after the close of business on June 26, 2020. All historic performance and financial information presented is that of the ICON Emerging Markets Fund, which was the accounting and performance survivor of the reorganizations. Historic information presented for the Institutional Class and Investor Classes shares is based on that of the Class S and Class A shares, respectively, of the ICON Emerging Markets Fund.
Shelton Tactical Credit Fund (“Tactical Credit Fund”) is an open-end, diversified series of the Trust. The inception date is December 12, 2013. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek current income and capital appreciation. Effective July 1, 2016, Shelton Capital Management became the advisor to the Fund.
Shelton International Select Equity Fund (“International Select Fund”, and together with the Emerging Markets Fund, and the Tactical Credit Fund, each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) is an open-end, diversified series of the Trust. The inception date is July 18, 2016. The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve long-term capital appreciation. Effective July 18, 2016, Shelton became the advisor to the Fund.
On June 3, 2020, the shareholders of the ICON International Equity Fund, a series of ICON Funds approved the agreement and plan of reorganization providing for the transfer of assets and assumption of liabilities into the Shelton International Select Equity Fund. The International Select Fund is the performance and accounting, legal and tax survivor of the reorganization. The reorganization was effective as of the open of business on June 29, 2020.
The Trust follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
(a) Security Valuation — Inputs used to value corporate debt securities generally include relative credit information, observed market movements, sector news, U.S. Treasury yield curve or relevant benchmark curve, and other market information, which may include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data, such as market research publications, when available (“Other Market Information”). Equity securities listed on a national or international exchange are valued at the last reported sales price. Futures contracts are valued at the settle price, depending on the exchange the contract trades on, typically as of 4:15 p.m., Eastern Time. Municipal securities are valued by an independent pricing service at a price determined by a matrix pricing method. This technique generally considers such factors as yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity, ratings and general market conditions. U.S. government securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices provided by an independent pricing service. U.S. agency securities consisting of mortgage pass-through certificates are valued using dealer quotations provided by an independent pricing service. U.S. Treasury Bills are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. Securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued on the amortized cost basis as reflecting fair value. Credit default swaps are valued by pricing services using various techniques including industry standard option pricing models and proprietary discounted cash flow models to determine the fair value of those instruments. The net benefit or obligation under the derivative contract, as measured by the fair value of the contract, is included in net assets.
Securities for which market quotes are not readily available from the Trust’s third-party pricing service are valued at fair value, determined in good faith by the Advisor, the Funds’ valuation designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5. The Board has delegated to the Advisor the responsibility for determining the fair value, subject to the Board oversight and the review of the pricing decisions at its quarterly meetings. For a description of the Advisor, see Note 2.
(b) Federal Income Taxes — No provision is considered necessary for federal income taxes. The Funds intend to qualify for and elect the tax treatment applicable to regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute all their taxable income to shareholders.
(c) Short Sales — Short sales are transactions under which the Tactical Credit Fund sells a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the value of that security. To complete such a transaction, the Fund must borrow the security to make delivery to the buyer. The Fund then is obligated to replace the security borrowed by purchasing the security at market price at the time of replacement. The price at such time may be more or less than the price at which the security was sold by the Fund. When a security is sold short a decrease in the value of the security will be recognized as a gain and an increase in the value of the security will be recognized as a loss, which is potentially limitless. Until the security is replaced, the Fund is required to pay the lender amounts equal to dividend or interest that accrue during the period of the loan which is recorded as an expense. To borrow the security, the Fund also may be required to pay a premium or an interest fee, which are recorded as interest expense. Cash or securities are segregated for the broker to meet the necessary margin requirements. The Fund is subject to the risk that it may not always be able to close out a short position at a particular time or at an acceptable price.
(d) Municipal Bonds — Municipal bonds are debt obligations issued by the states, possessions, or territories of the United States (including the District of Columbia) or a political subdivision, public instrumentality, agency, public authority or other governmental unit of such states, possessions, or territories (e.g., counties, cities, towns, villages, districts and authorities). Municipal bonds may be issued as taxable securities, or as federally tax-exempt securities. States, possessions, territories and municipalities may issue municipal bonds to raise funds for various public purposes such as airports, housing, hospitals, mass transportation, schools, water and sewer works, gas, and electric utilities. They may also issue municipal bonds to refund outstanding obligations and to meet general operating expenses. Municipal bonds may be general obligation bonds or revenue bonds. General obligation bonds are secured by the issuer’s pledge of its full faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. Revenue bonds are payable from revenues derived from particular facilities, from the proceeds of a special excise tax or from other specific revenue sources. They are not usually payable from the general taxing power of a municipality. In addition, certain types of “private activity” bonds may be issued by public authorities to obtain funding for privately operated facilities, such as housing and pollution control facilities, for industrial facilities and for water supply, gas, electricity and waste disposal facilities. Other types of private activity bonds are used to finance the construction, repair or improvement of, or to obtain equipment for, privately operated industrial or commercial facilities. Current federal tax laws place substantial limitations on the size of certain of such issues. In certain cases, the interest on a private activity bond may not be exempt from federal income tax or the alternative minimum tax.
(e) Security Transactions, Investment Income and Distributions to Shareholders — Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for, in accordance with the Trust’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Tax reclaims are recorded on ex-dividend date. The Fund Accountant reconciles reclaims on their books to the Custodian’s on a semi-annual basis and provides this reconciliation to the Fund Administrator. The reconciliation provides substantial detail about each of the receivables and this data is reviewed against Shelton’s policy to determine reclaims that should be recorded or written off. Tax reclaims which are deemed de-minimis

or uncollectible by the Fund Administrator are not recorded. 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 or, where applicable, to the first call date of the securities.
Reported net realized gain/(loss) from futures contracts for the Shelton International Select Fund and Tactical Credit Fund are charges for the ability to trade futures in the respective funds. No futures transactions occurred during the year ended December 31, 2024.
Distributions received from investments in securities that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investment or as a realized gain, respectively. The calendar year-end amounts of ordinary income, capital gains, and return of capital included in distributions received from a Fund’s investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) are reported to the Fund after the end of the calendar year; accordingly, the Funds estimate these amounts for accounting purposes until the characterization of REIT distributions is reported to the Fund after the end of the calendar year. Estimates are based on the most recent REIT distribution information available.
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date for the Funds. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for PFICs, wash sales, REIT adjustments and post-October capital losses. These “Book/tax” differences are considered either temporary (i.e., deferred losses, capital loss carry forwards) or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
(f) Foreign Currency Translation — Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Trust does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the company’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
(g) Concentration — The Shelton Emerging Markets Fund seeks to replicate the performance of its sectors. From time to time this replication may lead a Fund to concentrate in stocks of a particular sector, category or group of companies, which could cause the Fund to underperform the overall stock market.
The Tactical Credit Fund aims to use related credit asset classes on both the long and short side to generate an attractive rate of return with low volatility. Portfolio construction is implemented with a relative value framework and looks across the entire balance sheet of a corporation from senior secured down through subordinated, equity-linked bonds. This hedged approach is designed to generate performance that is less reliant on the direction of the overall market than a typical credit-based fund. This may result in the Fund having a larger concentration in certain sectors than others at a given point in time. As of December 31, 2024, Tactical Credit Fund had 32.28% of net assets invested in the Consumer-Cyclical sector.
Cash held at broker: Cash held at broker as shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities represents deposits with a broker pledged as collateral to meet margin requirements. This cash is restricted from being returned until either the position is closed or requirements change.
Cash & Cash Equivalents: The Funds consider their investment in a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured interest bearing account to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are valued at cost plus any accrued interest. The Funds maintain cash balances, which, at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Funds maintain these balances with a high-quality financial institution.
Concentration of Credit Risk: Each Fund places its cash with a banking institution, which is insured by FDIC. The FDIC limit is $250,000. At various times throughout the year, the amount on deposit may exceed the FDIC limit and subject the Funds to a credit risk. The Funds do not believe that such deposits are subject to any unusual risk associated with investment activities.
(h) Use of Estimates in Financial Statements — In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Shelton Capital Management makes 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, as well as the reported amounts of income and expense during the year. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
(i) Share Valuations — The net asset value (“NAV”) per share of each Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash or other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding of the Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. A Fund’s shares will not be priced on the days on which the NYSE is closed for trading. The offering and redemption price per share of each Fund is equal to a Fund’s NAV per share.
(j) Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Shelton Capital Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years or expected to be taken in the Fund’s future tax returns. The Funds identify its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal, however the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.
(k) Fair Value Measurements — The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of most of its investments on a recurring basis. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust 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 Fund’s 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 following table summarizes the valuation of the Funds’ securities at December 31, 2024 using fair value hierarchy:

(m) LIBOR Transition Risk — The United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority announced a phase out of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) by the end of 2021. On November 30, 2020 the administrator of LIBOR announced its intention to delay the phase out of the majority of the U.S. dollar LIBOR publications until June 30, 2023. The remainder of LIBOR publications ended at the end of 2021. The Funds may be exposed to financial instruments tied to LIBOR to determine payment obligations, financing terms, hedging strategies or investment value. The transition process away from LIBOR might lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets for, and reduce the effectiveness of new hedges placed against, instruments whose terms currently include LIBOR. The ultimate effect of the LIBOR transition process on the Funds is uncertain. The sunset date for the transition is December 31, 2024.
(n) Credit Default Swaps — During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Shelton Tactical Credit Fund entered into credit default swaps to manage their exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market, to reduce their risk exposure to defaults of corporate issuers or indexes or to create exposure to corporate issuers or indexes to which they are not otherwise exposed. In a credit default swap, the protection buyer makes a stream of payments based on a fixed percentage applied to the contract notional amount to the protection seller in exchange for the right to receive a specified return upon the occurrence of a defined credit event on the reference obligation which may be either a single security or a basket of securities issued by corporate or sovereign issuers. Although contract-specific, credit events are generally defined as bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration, obligation default, or repudiation/moratorium. Upon the occurrence of a defined credit event, the difference between the value of the reference obligation and the swap’s notional amount is recorded as realized gain (for protection written) or loss (for protection sold) in the Statements of Operations. In the case of credit default swaps where a Fund is selling protection, the notional amount approximates the maximum loss. For centrally cleared swaps the daily change in valuation, and upfront payments, if any, are recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Note 2 – INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Shelton provides each Fund with management and administrative services pursuant to investment management and administration servicing agreements.
The Advisor contractually agreed to reduce total operating expense to certain Funds of the Trust. This additional contractual reimbursement (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, certain compliance costs, interest and broker expenses relating to investment strategies, taxes, and extraordinary expenses such as litigation or merger and reorganization expenses, for example) is effective until the dates listed below, unless renewed, and is subject to recoupment within three fiscal years following reimbursement. Recoupment is limited to the extent the reimbursement does not exceed any applicable expense limit and the effect of the reimbursement is measured after all ordinary operating expenses are calculated; any such reimbursement is subject to the Board of Trustees’ review and approval. Reimbursements from the Advisor to affected Funds, and the contractual expense limits, for the year ended December 31, 2024 are as follows:

As compensation for administrative duties not covered by the management agreement, Shelton receives an administration fee. The administration fee is based on assets held, in aggregate, by the SCM Trust and other funds within the same “family” of investment companies managed and administered by Shelton. The fee rates are 0.10% on the first $500 million, 0.08% on the next $500 million, and 0.06% on combined assets over $1 billion. Administration fees are disclosed in the Statements of Operations.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also partners of Shelton. Steve Rogers has served as a trustee and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Trust since 1998, and President of the Trust since 1999. Mr. Rogers is also Chief Executive Officer of the Adviser. Gregory T. Pusch has served as the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) of the Trust since March 2017. Mr. Pusch is also employed by Shelton, the Advisor and Administrator to the Trust. The Trust is responsible for the portion of his salary allocated to his duties as the CCO of the Trust during his employment, and Shelton is reimbursed by the Trust for this portion of his salary. The level of reimbursement is reviewed and determined by the Board of Trustees at least annually.
The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”), as amended July 29, 2017, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, whereby the Investor Shares of each Fund pays RFS Partners, the Funds’ distributor (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of Shelton, for expenses that relate to the promotion and distribution of shares. Under the Plan, the Investor Shares of the Funds will pay the Distributor a fee at an annual rate of 0.25%, payable monthly, of the daily net assets attributable to such Fund’s Investor Shares.

Note 4 – TAX CHARACTER
Reclassifications: Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require certain components of net assets be reclassified between financial and tax reporting.

Distributions to Shareholders: Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities held by each Fund, timing differences and differing characterization of distributions made by each Fund.
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

(a)It is possible that the Fund may not issue a Section 19 Notice in situations where the Fund’s financial statements prepared later in accordance with U.S. GAAP and/ or the final tax character of those distributions might later report that the sources of those distributions included capital gains and/or a return of capital.
Note 5 – SECURITIES LENDINGS
The Funds have entered into an agreement with U.S. Bank, N.A. (the “Lending Agent”), dated January 19, 2020 (the “Securities Lending Agreement”), to provide securities lending services to the Funds. Under this program, the Funds may lend securities in their portfolios to approved brokers, dealers and financial institutions (but not individuals). The securities lending agreement requires that loans are collateralized in an amount equal to at least (i) 105% of then current market value of any loaned foreign securities, or (ii) 102% of the then current market value of any other loaned securities at the outset of the loan and at least 100%, at all times thereafter. The Funds have the right under the terms of the securities lending agreement to recall the securities from the borrower on demand. Cash collateral received by the Funds for securities loaned is invested by the Lending Agent in the Mount Vernon Liquid Assets Portfolio, LLC, (“Mount Vernon”). Mount Vernon seeks to maximize current income to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity; and to maintain a stable NAV of $1.00.The Funds continue to benefit from interest or dividends on the securities loaned and may also earn a return from the collateral. Such investments are subject to risk of payment delays, declines in the value of collateral provided, default on the part of the issuer or counterparty, and the risk that the investment may not generate sufficient interest to support the costs associated with securities lending. The Funds could also experience delays in recovering their securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return the borrowed securities. The Funds are not subject to a master netting arrangement.
Amounts earned from security lending is disclosed in each Fund’s Statement of Operations as a securities lending credit.
As of December 31, 2024, the value of the securities on loan and payable for collateral were as follows:
|

*The cash collateral received was invested in the Mount Vernon Liquid Assets Portfolio, LLC, with an overnight and continuous maturity as shown on the Portfolios of Investments.
Note 6 – BORROWINGS
In connection with the short sale arrangement between JP Morgan and Shelton Tactical Credit Fund, the Fund may borrow in excess of the short sale proceeds. There were no borrowings during the year.
Note 7 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent events after the date of the Statements of Assets and Liabilities have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued and fund management has noted no additional events that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statement

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
To the Shareholders Shelton Funds and Board of Trustees of SCM Trust
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Shelton Emerging Markets Fund, Shelton International Select Equity Fund, and Shelton Tactical Credit Fund (the “Funds”), each a series of SCM Trust, as of December 31, 2024, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of December 31, 2024, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Funds’ financial highlights for the year ended September 30, 2020, and for the period October 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, and prior were audited by other auditors whose report dated March 1, 2021, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2024, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Funds’ auditor since 2021.

(a) Security Valuation — Inputs used to value corporate debt securities generally include relative credit information, observed market movements, sector news, U.S. Treasury yield curve or relevant benchmark curve, and other market information, which may include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data, such as market research publications, when available (“Other Market Information”). Equity securities listed on a national or international exchange are valued at the last reported sales price. Investments in mutual funds are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Asset-backed securities (ABS) are valued by an independent pricing service using market-based measurements that are processed through a rules-based pricing application and represent the good faith determination as to what the holder may receive in an orderly transaction for an institutional round lot position (typically 1MM or greater current value USD or local currency equivalent). Futures contracts are valued at the settle price, depending on the exchange the contract trades on,

typically as of 4:15 p.m., Eastern Time. Municipal securities are valued by an independent pricing service at a price determined by a matrix pricing method. This technique generally considers such factors as yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity, ratings and general market conditions. U.S. government securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices provided by an independent pricing service. U.S. agency securities consisting of mortgage pass-through certificates are valued using dealer quotations provided by an independent pricing service. U.S. Treasury Bills are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. Securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued on the amortized cost basis as reflecting fair value.
Securities for which market quotes are not readily available from the Trust’s third-party pricing service are valued at fair value, determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee of the Advisor, the Funds’ valuation designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5. The Board has delegated to the Pricing Committee of the Advisor the responsibility for determining the fair value, subject to the Board oversight and the review of the pricing decisions at its quarterly meetings. For a description of the Advisor, see Note 2.
(b) Federal Income Taxes — No provision is considered necessary for federal income taxes. The Funds intend to qualify for and elect the tax treatment applicable to regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute all their taxable income to shareholders.
(c) Short Sales — Short sales are transactions under which a Fund sells a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the value of that security. To complete such a transaction, the Fund must borrow the security to make delivery to the buyer. The Fund then is obligated to replace the security borrowed by purchasing the security at market price at the time of replacement. The price at such time may be more or less than the price at which the security was sold by the Fund. When a security is sold short a decrease in the value of the security will be recognized as a gain and an increase in the value of the security will be recognized as a loss, which is potentially limitless. Until the security is replaced, the Fund is required to pay the lender amounts equal to dividend or interest that accrue during the period of the loan which is recorded as an expense. To borrow the security, the Fund also may be required to pay a premium or an interest fee, which are recorded as interest expense. Cash or securities are segregated for the broker to meet the necessary margin requirements. The Fund is subject to the risk that it may not always be able to close out a short position at a particular time or at an acceptable price.
(d) Municipal Bonds — Municipal bonds are debt obligations issued by the states, possessions, or territories of the United States (including the District of Columbia) or a political subdivision, public instrumentality, agency, public authority or other governmental unit of such states, possessions, or territories (e.g., counties, cities, towns, villages, districts and authorities). Municipal bonds may be issued as taxable securities, or as federally tax-exempt securities. States, possessions, territories and municipalities may issue municipal bonds to raise funds for various public purposes such as airports, housing, hospitals, mass transportation, schools, water and sewer works, gas, and electric utilities. They may also issue municipal bonds to refund outstanding obligations and to meet general operating expenses. Municipal bonds may be general obligation bonds or revenue bonds. General obligation bonds are secured by the issuer’s pledge of its full faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. Revenue bonds are payable from revenues derived from particular facilities, from the proceeds of a special excise tax or from other specific revenue sources. They are not usually payable from the general taxing power of a municipality. In addition, certain types of “private activity” bonds may be issued by public authorities to obtain funding for privately operated facilities, such as housing and pollution control facilities, for industrial facilities and for water supply, gas, electricity and waste disposal facilities. Other types of private activity bonds are used to finance the construction, repair or improvement of, or to obtain equipment for, privately operated industrial or commercial facilities. Current federal tax laws place substantial limitations on the size of certain of such issues. In certain cases, the interest on a private activity bond may not be exempt from federal income tax or the alternative minimum tax.
(e) Security Transactions, Investment Income and Distributions to Shareholders — Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for, in accordance with the Trust’s 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 or, where applicable, to the first call date of the securities.
Distributions received from investments in securities that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investment or as a realized gain, respectively. The calendar year-end amounts of ordinary income, capital gains, and return of capital included in distributions received from a Fund’s investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) are reported to the Fund after the end of the calendar year; accordingly, the Funds estimate these amounts for accounting purposes until the characterization of REIT distributions is reported to the Fund after the end of the calendar year. Estimates are based on the most recent REIT and MLP distribution information available.
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date for the Funds. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for PFICs, wash sales, REIT adjustments and post-October capital losses. These “Book/tax” differences are considered either temporary (i.e., deferred losses, capital loss carry forwards) or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
(f) Foreign Currency Translation — Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Trust does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
(g) Concentration — Cash & Cash Equivalents: The Funds consider their investment in a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured interest bearing account to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are valued at cost plus any accrued interest. The Funds maintain cash balances, which, at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Funds maintain these balances with a high-quality financial institution.
The ICON Consumer Select Fund, ICON Equity Income Fund, ICON Health and Information Technology Fund, ICON Natural Resources & Infrastructure Fund, and ICON Utilities and Income Fund seek to replicate the performance of their respective sectors. From time to time this replication may lead a Fund to concentrate in stocks of a particular sector, category or group of companies, which could cause such Fund to underperform the overall stock market. Refer to each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments for instances where these concentration might exist as of December 31, 2024.
Concentration of Credit Risk: Each Fund places its cash with a banking institution, which is insured by FDIC. The FDIC limit is $250,000. At various times throughout the year, the amount on deposit may exceed the FDIC limit and subject the Funds to a credit risk. The Funds do not believe that such deposits are subject to any unusual risk associated with investment activities.

(h) Use of Estimates in Financial Statements — In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Shelton Capital Management makes 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, as well as the reported amounts of income and expense during the year. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
(i) ShareValuations — The net asset value (“NAV”) per share of each Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash or other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding of the Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. A Fund’s shares will not be priced on the days on which the NYSE is closed for trading. The offering and redemption price per share of each Fund is equal to a Fund’s NAV per share.
(j) Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — The Funds recognize the tax benefiits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Shelton Capital Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefiits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns fiiled for open tax years (2020-2022) or expected to be taken in the Fund’s 2023 tax returns. The Funds identify its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal, however the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefiits will change materially in the next twelve months.
(k) Fair Value Measurements — The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of most of its investments on a recurring basis. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust 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 Fund’s 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 following table summarizes the valuation of the Funds’ securities at December 31, 2024 using fair value hierarchy:

(a)It is the Funds’ policy to recognize transfers between levels on the last day of the fiscal reporting period. There were no transfers in or out of Level 3 during the year.
(b)All publicly traded common stocks, preferred stocks, and investments in investment companies held in the Funds are Level 1 securities. For a detailed break-out of equity securities by major industry classification, please refer to the Portfolio of Investments.
(c)All corporate debt and asset-backed securities held in the Funds are Level 2 securities. For a detailed break-out of fixed income securities by type, please refer to the Portfolio of Investments.
(l) Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — The Funds have adopted enhanced disclosure regarding derivative and hedging activity intended to improve financial reporting of derivative instruments by enabling investors to understand how and why an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position. There was no activity in derivative instruments for any of the Funds for the year-ended December 31, 2024.
(m) LIBOR Transition Risk — The United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority announced a phase out of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) by the end of 2021. On November 30, 2020, the administrator of LIBOR announced its intention to delay the phase out of the majority of the U.S. dollar LIBOR publications until June 30, 2023. The remainder of LIBOR publications ended at the end of 2021. The Funds may be exposed to financial instruments tied to LIBOR to determine payment obligations, financing terms, hedging strategies or investment value. The transition process away from LIBOR might lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets for, and reduce the effectiveness of new hedges placed against, instruments whose terms currently include LIBOR. The ultimate effect of the LIBOR transition process on the Funds is uncertain. The sunset date for the transition is December 31, 2024.

A Fund must pay its current ordinary operating expenses before the Advisor is entitled to any reimbursement of fees and/or expenses. Any such reimbursement is contingent upon the Board of Trustees review and approval prior to the time the reimbursement is initiated.
As compensation for administrative duties not covered by the management agreement, Shelton receives an administration fee. The administration fee is based on assets held, in aggregate, by the SCM Trust and other funds within the same “family” of investment companies managed and administered by Shelton. The fee rates are 0.10% on the first $500 million, 0.08% on the next $500 million, and 0.06% on combined assets over $1 billion. Administration fees are disclosed in the Statements of Operations.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also partners of Shelton. Steve Rogers has served as a trustee and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Trust since 1998, and President of the Trust since 1999. Mr. Rogers is also Chief Executive Officer of the Adviser. Gregory T. Pusch has served as the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) of the Trust since March 2017. Mr. Pusch is also employed by Shelton, the Advisor and Administrator to the Trust. The Trust is responsible for the portion of his salary allocated to his duties as the CCO of the Trust during his employment, and Shelton is reimbursed by the Trust for this portion of his salary. The level of reimbursement is reviewed and determined by the Board of Trustees at least annually.
The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”), as amended July 29, 2017, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, whereby the Investor Shares of each Fund pays RFS Partners, the Funds’ distributor (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of the Advisor, for expenses that relate to the promotion and distribution of shares. Under the Plan, the Investor Shares of the Funds will pay the Distributor a fee at an annual rate of 0.25%, payable monthly, of the daily net assets attributable to such Fund’s Investor Shares.

(a)It is possible that the Fund may not issue a Section 19 Notice in situations where the Fund’s financial statements prepared later in accordance with U.S. GAAP and/ or the final tax character of those distributions might later report that the sources of those distributions included capital gains and/or a return of capital.
(b)The Funds designate any Long-Term Capital Gain dividends pursuant to Section 852(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Note 5 – SECURITIES LENDINGS
The Funds have entered into an agreement with U.S. Bank, N.A. (the “Lending Agent”), dated September 29, 2020 (the “Securities Lending Agreement”), to provide securities lending services to the Funds. Under this program, the Funds may lend securities in their portfolios to approved brokers, dealers and financial institutions (but not individuals). The securities lending agreement requires that loans are collateralized in an amount equal to at least (i) 105% of then current market value of any loaned foreign securities, or (ii) 102% of the then current market value of any other loaned securities at the outset of the loan and at least 100%, at all times thereafter. The Funds have the right under the terms of the securities lending agreement to recall the securities from the borrower on demand. Cash collateral received by the Funds for securities loaned is invested by the Lending Agent in the First American Government Obligations Fund – Class X. The Funds continue to benefit from interest or dividends on the securities loaned and may also earn a return from the collateral. Such investments are subject to risk of payment delays, declines in the value of collateral provided, default on the part of the issuer or counterparty, and the risk that the investment may not generate sufficient interest to support the costs associated with securities lending. The Funds could also experience delays in recovering their securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return the borrowed securities. The Funds are not subject to a master netting arrangement.
Amounts earned from security lending is disclosed in each Fund’s Statement of Operations as a securities lending credit.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
To the Shareholders of the ICON Funds and Board of Trustees of SCM Trust
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of ICON Consumer Select Fund, ICON Equity Fund, ICON Equity Income Fund, ICON Flexible Bond Fund, ICON Health and Information Technology Fund, ICON Natural Resources and Infrastructure Fund, and ICON Utilities and Income Fund (the “Funds”), each a series of SCM Trust, as of December 31, 2024, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of December 31, 2024, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Funds’ financial highlights for the year ended September 30, 2020, and the period October 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, were audited by other auditors whose report dated March 1, 2021, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2024, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Funds’ auditor since 2021. In addition, we served as the Funds’ auditors from 2016 through 2019.
