*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.

SCM Trust      Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)June 30, 2024

Note 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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, 2023, the Trust consists of ten separate series, 3 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. The Tactical Credit Fund is a successor to a series of the FundVantage Trust, a Delaware statutory trust, pursuant to a reorganization that took place after the close of business on March 17, 2017. On June 19, 2019, the shareholders of the Cedar Ridge Unconstrained Credit Fund (the “Cedar Ridge Fund”) approved the agreement and plan of reorganization providing for the transfer of assets and assumption of liabilities into the Tactical Credit Fund. The Cedar Ridge Fund is the performance and accounting survivor of the reorganization, and the Tactical Credit Fund is the legal and tax survivor. The reorganization was effective as of the close of business on June 21, 2019.

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. The International Select Fund is a successor to a series of the FundVantage Trust, a Delaware statutory trust, pursuant to a reorganization that took place after the close of business on July 28, 2017.

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. See Note 6 for more information.

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

19

SCM Trust      Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)June 30, 2024

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 Emerging Markets and Shelton International Select Fund are charges for the ability to trade futures in the respective funds. No futures transactions occurred for either fund during the year ended December 31, 2023.

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 each 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.

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 (2019-2021) or expected to be taken in the Fund’s 2022 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.

(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, 2023, 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

22

SCM Trust      Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)June 30, 2024

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. Fees waived or reimbursed for the affected Funds for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 are disclosed in the Statements of Operations. The contractual expense limitations expiring May 1, 2025 are as follows:

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 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.

For the period ended June 30, 2024 the following were paid:

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. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the year ended December 31, 2023, reclassifications were as follows:

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) is attributable primarily to the realization of unrealized gains/(losses) on options contracts for tax purposes, wash sales, Passive Foreign Investment Companies, and certain other investments.

During the current year the Shelton Emerging Markets Fund deferred $461,259 of short-term and $110,138 of long-term post-October capital losses, which will be recognized on the first day of the following fiscal year.

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.

(b)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 June 30, 2024, the value of the securities on loan and payable for collateral were as follows:

Note 6 – BORROWINGS

In connection with the short sale arrangement of 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 statements.

The Trust follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codifiication 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. 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.

30

ICON Funds      Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)June 30, 2024

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, 2023.

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.

31

ICON Funds      Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)June 30, 2024

(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 (2019-2021) or expected to be taken in the Fund’s 2022 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 June 30, 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 Fund has 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.

(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.

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.

As of June 30, 2024, the value of the securities on loan and payable for collateral were as follows:

Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract.  

   
 

 

The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) requires that the full board of the SCM Trust (the “Board”) and a majority of the Independent Trustees annually approve the continuation of:

 

·The Investment Advisory Agreement dated October 11, 2016, between SCM Trust, on behalf of the Shelton International Select Equity Fund (the “International Select Equity Fund”) and the Shelton Tactical Credit Fund (the “Tactical Credit Fund”) (each a “Fund” and together with the Shelton Emerging Markets Fund, the “Funds”), and Shelton Capital Management (“Shelton Capital” or “SCM”); and
·The Investment Advisory Agreement dated February 6, 2020, between SCM Trust, on behalf of the Shelton Emerging Markets Fund (the “Emerging Markets Fund”), and Shelton Capital Management (collectively, the “SCM Advisory Agreements”).

 

At a meeting held on March 7-8, 2024, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered and approved the continuation of the SCM Advisory Agreements for the maximum period permitted under the 1940 Act.

 

Prior to the Meeting, the Independent Trustees requested information from Shelton Capital and third-party sources. This information, together with other information provided by Shelton Capital, and the information provided to the Independent Trustees throughout the course of the year, formed the primary (but not exclusive) basis for the Board’s determinations, as summarized below. In addition to the information identified above, other material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s subsequent approval are described below.

 

Information Received

 

Materials Received. During the course of each year, the Independent Trustees receive a wide variety of materials relating to the services provided to the Emerging Markets, the International Select Equity Fund, and the Tactical Credit Fund by Shelton Capital, including reports on each Fund’s investment results; portfolio composition; third party fund rankings; investment strategy; portfolio trading practices; compliance; shareholder services; and other information relating to the nature, extent and quality of services provided by Shelton Capital to the Funds. In addition, the Board requests and reviews supplementary information that includes materials regarding each Fund’s investment results, advisory fee and expense comparisons, the costs of operating the Funds and financial and profitability information regarding Shelton Capital, descriptions of various functions such as compliance monitoring and portfolio trading practices, and information about the personnel providing investment management services to each Fund.

 

Review Process. The Board received assistance and advice regarding legal and industry standards from independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees and fund counsel. The Board discussed the renewal of the SCM Advisory Agreements with respect to the Emerging Markets Fund, International Select Equity Fund, and Tactical Credit Fund, as applicable, with Shelton Capital representatives, and in a private session with independent legal counsel at which representatives of Shelton Capital were not present. In deciding to approve the renewal of the SCM Advisory Agreements, the Independent Trustees considered the total mix of information requested by and made available to them and did not identify any single issue or particular information that, in isolation, was the controlling factor. This summary describes the most important, but not all, of the factors considered by the Board.

 

   
 

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

 

Shelton Capital, its personnel and its resources. The Board considered the depth and quality of Shelton Capital’s investment management process; the experience, capability and integrity of its senior management and other personnel; operating performance and the overall financial strength and stability of its organization. The Board also considered that Shelton Capital made available to its investment professionals a variety of resources relating to investment management, compliance, trading, performance and portfolio accounting. The Board further considered Shelton Capital’s continuing need to attract and retain qualified personnel and, noting Shelton Capital’s additions over recent years, determined that Shelton Capital was adequately managing matters related to the Funds.

 

Other Services. The Board considered, in connection with the performance of its investment management services to the Funds: Shelton Capital’s policies, procedures and systems to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations and Shelton Capital’s commitment to these programs; each of their efforts to keep the Trustees informed; and Shelton Capital’s attention to matters that may involve conflicts of interest with the Funds. The Board also considered the nature, extent, quality and cost of certain non-investment related administrative services provided by Shelton Capital to the Funds under the administration servicing agreements.

 

The board concluded that Shelton Capital had the quality and depth of personnel and investment methods necessary to performing its duties under the SCM Advisory Agreements, and that the nature, extent and overall quality of such services provided by Shelton Capital are satisfactory and reliable.

 

Investment Performance

 

The Board considered each Fund’s investment results in comparison to its stated investment objectives. The Trustees also reviewed performance rankings for each Fund as provided by an independent third-party service provider. Among the factors considered in this regard, were the following for the periods ended December 31, 2023:

 

For the Emerging Markets Fund, it was noted that the performance of the Fund relative to its peer category was in the highest performing quartile over the 5-year and 10-year periods, and in the second highest performing quartile over the 1-year and 3-year periods.
For the Shelton International Select Equity Fund, it was noted that the performance of the Fund relative to its peer category was in the second lowest performing quartile over the 5-year period, and in the lowest performing quartile over the 1-year and 3-year periods.
For the Shelton Tactical Credit Fund, it was noted that the performance of the Fund relative to its peer category was in the highest performing quartile over the 10-year period, in the second highest performing quartile over the 3-year period, in the second lowest performing quartile over the 5-year period, and in the lowest performing quartile over the 1-year period.

 

The Board ultimately concluded that Shelton Capital’s performance records in managing the applicable Funds were satisfactory, and in some cases excellent, supporting the determination that Shelton Capital’s continued management under the applicable SCM Advisory Agreement would be consistent with the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

 

   
 

 

Management Fees and Total Annual Operating Expense Ratios

 

The Board reviewed the management fees and total operating expenses of each Fund and compared such amounts with the management fees and total operating expenses of other funds in the industry that are found within the same style category as defined by a third-party independent service provider. The Board considered the asset size, advisory fees and total fees and expenses of each Fund in comparison to the asset size, advisory fees and other fees and expenses of other funds in each Fund’s relevant category. The Trustees considered both the gross advisory fee rates, as well as the effective advisory rates charged by Shelton Capital after taking into consideration the expense limitation arrangements on certain Funds.

 

The Board noted that the maximum management fee charged by the Shelton International Select Equity Fund was higher than the Fund’s peer category median, the Shelton Emerging Markets Fund’s maximum management fee was higher than its peer category median, and the Shelton Tactical Credit Fund’s maximum management fee was higher than the Fund’s peer category median.

 

The Board also observed that except for the Institutional Class of the Shelton Tactical Credit Fund, each Fund’s total annual operating expense ratios, after taking into account the expense limitations and waivers applicable to certain Funds, were higher than the relevant Fund’s peer category median.

 

Comparable Accounts

The Board noted certain information provided by Shelton Capital regarding fees charged to other clients utilizing a strategy similar to that employed by certain Funds. The Board determined that, bearing in mind the limitations of comparing different types of managed accounts and the different levels of service typically associated with such accounts, the fee structures applicable to Shelton Capital’s other clients employing a comparable strategy to each applicable Fund was not indicative of any unreasonableness with respect to the advisory fee payable by such Fund.

 

Cost Structure, Level of Profits, Economies of Scale and Ancillary Benefits

 

The Board reviewed information regarding Shelton Capital’s costs of providing services to the Funds. The Board also reviewed the resulting level of profits to SCM, including the cost allocation methodologies used to calculate such profits. The Independent Trustees received financial and other information from Shelton Capital.

 

The Board noted its intention to continue to monitor assets under management, and the resulting impact on Shelton Capital’s profitability, in order to ensure that Shelton Capital has sufficient resources to continue to provide the services that shareholders in the Funds require. The Trustees also noted that currently, Shelton Capital has contractually agreed to limit its advisory fees on certain Funds so that those Funds do not exceed their respective specified operating expense limitations, and may extend those limits in the future.

 

The Board also considered whether Shelton Capital receives any material indirect benefits from managing the Funds, noting the soft dollars benefits accrued to Shelton Capital.

 

Based on the foregoing, together with the other information provided to it at the Meeting and throughout the year, the Board concluded that each Fund’s cost structure and level of profits for Shelton Capital, were reasonable and that economies of scale and material indirect benefits, to the extent present with respect to a Fund, were of value to the Fund.

 

   
 

 

Conclusions

 

The Board indicated that the information presented and the discussion of the information were adequate for making a determination regarding the renewal of the SCM Advisory Agreements with respect to the Emerging Markets Fund, International Select Equity Fund, and Tactical Credit Fund, as applicable. During the review process, the Board noted certain instances where clarification or follow-up was appropriate and others where the Board determined that further clarification or follow-up was not necessary. In those instances where clarification or follow-up was requested, the Board determined that in each case either information responsive to its requests had been provided, or where any request was outstanding in whole or in part, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the SCM Advisory Agreements, the Board had received sufficient information to renew and approve the SCM Advisory Agreements with respect to the Emerging Markets Fund, International Select Equity Fund, and Tactical Credit Fund, as applicable.

 

Based on their review, including but not limited to their consideration of each of the factors referred to above, the Board concluded that each SCM Advisory Agreement, taking into account the separate administration fees, is and would be fair and reasonable to each applicable Fund and its shareholders, that each Fund’s shareholders received or should receive reasonable value in return for the advisory fees and other amounts paid to Shelton Capital by the Funds, and that the renewal of the SCM Advisory Agreements with respect to the Emerging Markets Fund, International Select Equity Fund, and Tactical Credit Fund, as applicable, was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

 

   
 

 

The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) requires that the full board of the SCM Trust (the “Board”) and a majority of the Independent Trustees annually approve the continuation of:

 

·Investment Advisory Agreement between SCM Trust, Shelton Capital, and ICON, dated February 6, 2020 (the “ICON Advisory Agreement”); and
·Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement between SCM Trust, Shelton Capital, and ICON, dated February 6, 2020 (the “ICON Sub-Advisory Agreement”) (collectively, the “ICON Advisory Agreements”).

 

At a meeting held on March 7-8, 2024, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered and approved the continuation of the ICON Advisory Agreements for the maximum period permitted under the 1940 Act.

 

Prior to the Meeting, the Independent Trustees requested information from Shelton Capital, ICON, and third-party sources. This information, together with other information provided by Shelton Capital and ICON, and the information provided to the Independent Trustees throughout the course of the year, formed the primary (but not exclusive) basis for the Board’s determinations, as summarized below. In addition to the information identified above, other material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s subsequent approval are described below.

Information Received

 

Materials Received. During the course of each year, the Independent Trustees receive a wide variety of materials relating to the services provided by Shelton Capital and ICON to the series of SCM Trust for which ICON serves as the investment sub-adviser (collectively, the “ICON Funds”), including reports on each ICON Fund’s investment results; portfolio composition; third party fund rankings; investment strategy; portfolio trading practices; compliance shareholder services; and other information relating to the nature, extent and quality of services provided by Shelton Capital and ICON to the ICON Funds. In addition, the Board requests and reviews supplementary information that includes materials regarding each ICON Fund’s investment results, advisory fee and expense comparisons, the costs of operating the Funds and financial and profitability information regarding Shelton Capital and ICON, descriptions of various functions such as compliance monitoring and portfolio trading practices, and information about the personnel providing investment management services to each ICON Fund.

 

Review Process. The Board received assistance and advice regarding legal and industry standards from independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees and fund counsel. The Board discussed the renewal of the ICON Advisory Agreements with Shelton Capital and ICON representatives, and in a private session with independent legal counsel at which representatives of SCM and ICON were not present. In deciding to approve the renewal of the ICON Advisory Agreements, the Independent Trustees considered the total mix of information requested by and made available to them and did not identify any single issue or particular information that, in isolation, was the controlling factor. This summary describes the most important, but not all, of the factors considered by the Board.

Shelton Capital, its personnel and its resources. The Board considered the depth and quality of Shelton Capital’s investment management process; the experience, capability and integrity of its senior management and other personnel; operating performance and the overall financial strength and stability of its organization. The Board also considered that Shelton Capital made available to its investment professionals a variety of resources relating to investment management, compliance, trading, performance and portfolio accounting. The Board further considered Shelton Capital’s continuing need to attract and retain qualified personnel and determined that Shelton Capital was adequately managing matters related to the Funds.

 

ICON, its personnel and its resources. The Board considered the depth and quality of ICON’s investment management process; the experience, capability and integrity of its management and other personnel; operating performance and the overall financial strength and stability of its organization.

Other Services. The Board considered, in connection with the performance of its investment management services to the Funds: Shelton Capital’s and ICON’s policies, procedures and systems to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations and each of their commitment to these programs; each of their efforts to keep the Trustees informed; and each of their attention to matters that may involve conflicts of interest with the Funds. The Board also considered the nature, extent, quality and cost of certain non-investment related administrative services provided by Shelton Capital to the Funds under the administration servicing agreements.

 

The Board concluded that Shelton Capital and ICON had the quality and depth of personnel and investment methods necessary to performing its duties under the applicable ICON Advisory Agreements, and that the nature, extent and overall quality of such services provided by Shelton Capital and ICON, respectively, were satisfactory and reliable.

 

Investment Performance

 

The Board considered each Fund’s investment results in comparison to its stated investment objectives. The Trustees also reviewed performance rankings for each Fund as provided by an independent third-party service provider. Among the factors considered in this regard, were the following for the Institutional Class of each ICON Fund for the periods ended December 31, 2023:

 

For the Consumer Select Fund, it was noted that the Fund was in the highest performing quartile relative to its peer category over the 1-year period, the second highest performing quartile over the 5-year period, and the second lowest performing quartile over the 3-year and 10-year periods.
For the ICON Equity Fund, it was noted that the performance of the Fund was in the highest performing quartile relative to its peer category over the 3-year period, in the second highest performing quartile over the 5-year period, and in the lowest performing quartile over the 1-year and 10-year periods.
For the ICON Equity Income Fund, it was noted that the performance of the Fund was in the second lowest performing quartile over the 3-year and 10-year periods, and in the lowest performing quartile over the 1-year and 3-year periods.
For the ICON Health and Information Technology Fund, it was noted that the performance of the Fund relative to its peer category was in the second lowest performing quartile over the 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year periods, and in the lowest performing quartile for the 1-year period.

 

   
 

 

For the ICON Natural Resources and Infrastructure Fund, it was noted that the performance of the Fund relative to its peer category was in the second highest performing quartile over the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year periods.
For the ICON Utilities and Income Fund, it was noted that the performance of the Fund relative to its peer category was in the second highest performing quartile over the 10-year period, and in the second lowest performing quartile over the 5-year period, and the lowest performing quartile in the 1-year and 3-year periods.
For the ICON Flexible Bond Fund, it was noted that the performance of the Fund relative to its peer category was in the highest performing quartile over the 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year periods and in the second highest performing quartile over the 1-year period.

 

The Board received an explanation of the reasons underlying the performance of the lower performing Funds and Shelton Capital and ICON articulated a strategy for improving performance of these Funds. The Board ultimately concluded that Shelton Capital’s and ICON’s performance records in managing the applicable Funds were satisfactory, supporting the determination that Shelton Capital’s and ICON’s continued management under the applicable ICON Advisory Agreement would be consistent with the best interests of each ICON Fund and its shareholders.

 

Management Fees and Total Annual Operating Expense Ratios

 

The Board reviewed the management fees and total operating expenses of each Fund and compared such amounts with the management fees and total operating expenses of other funds in the industry that are found within the same style category as defined by a third-party independent service provider. The Board considered the asset size, advisory fees and total fees and expenses of each Fund in comparison to the asset size, advisory fees and other fees and expenses of other funds in each Fund’s relevant category. The Trustees considered both the gross advisory fee rates, as well as the effective advisory rates charged by Shelton Capital after taking into consideration the expense limitation arrangements on certain Funds.

 

The Board noted that the maximum management fee charged to the ICON Equity Fund was equal to the Fund’s peer category median, and that the maximum management fee charged to each other ICON Fund was higher than the ICON Funds’ respective peer category medians.

 

The Board also observed that except for the Institutional Classes of the ICON Equity Fund, and ICON Flexible Bond Fund, each ICON Fund’s total annual operating expense ratios, after taking into account the expense limitations and waivers applicable to certain Funds, were higher than the category median for other comparable funds.

 

Comparable Accounts

The Board noted certain information provided by Shelton Capital and ICON regarding fees charged to other clients utilizing a strategy similar to that employed by an ICON Fund. The Board determined that, bearing in mind the limitations of comparing different types of managed accounts and the different levels of service typically associated with such accounts, the fee structures applicable to Shelton Capital’s and ICON’s other clients employing a comparable strategy to each applicable ICON Fund was not indicative of any unreasonableness with respect to the advisory fee payable by such ICON Fund.

   
 

 

Cost Structure, Level of Profits, Economies of Scale and Ancillary Benefits

 

The Board reviewed information regarding Shelton Capital’s and ICON’s costs of providing services to the ICON Funds. The Board also reviewed the resulting level of profits to Shelton Capital and ICON, respectively, including the cost allocation methodologies used to calculate such profits. The Independent Trustees received financial and other information from Shelton Capital and ICON.

 

The Board noted its intention to continue to monitor assets under management, and the resulting impact on Shelton Capital’s and ICON’s profitability, in order to ensure that each has sufficient resources to continue to provide the services that shareholders in the ICON Funds require. The Trustees also noted that currently, Shelton Capital has contractually agreed to limit its advisory fees on certain ICON Funds so that those Funds do not exceed their respective specified operating expense limitations and may extend those limits in the future.

 

The Board also considered whether Shelton Capital and ICON receive any material indirect benefits from managing the ICON Funds, noting the soft dollars benefits accrued to ICON.

 

Based on the foregoing, together with the other information provided to it at the Meeting and throughout the year, the Board concluded that each ICON Fund’s cost structure and level of profits for Shelton Capital and ICON, respectively, were reasonable and that economies of scale and material indirect benefits, to the extent present with respect to an ICON Fund, were of value to the ICON Fund.

 

Conclusions

 

The Board indicated that the information presented and the discussion of the information were adequate for making a determination regarding the renewal of each ICON Advisory Agreement. During the review process, the Board noted certain instances where clarification or follow-up was appropriate and others where the Board determined that further clarification or follow-up was not necessary. In those instances where clarification or follow-up was requested, the Board determined that in each case either information responsive to its requests had been provided, or where any request was outstanding in whole or in part, given the totality of the information provided with respect to each ICON Advisory Agreement, the Board had received sufficient information to renew and approve the applicable ICON Advisory Agreement.
