Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
SUMMARY OF RESULTS
As a refresher, the investment objective of the Palmer Square Income Plus Fund (the "Fund") is income and capital appreciation. In seeking to achieve that investment objective, the Investment Team employs a flexible mandate to find the best relative value across corporate credit and structured credit. The Fund has also historically maintained low interest rate duration and high credit quality.
For the 12-month period ended on June 30, 2024, the Palmer Square Income Plus Fund, Class I share, returned 8.78%. The Fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg 1-3 Year U.S. Corporate Index, returned 5.82%, while the broad based Bloomberg Aggregate Bond Index returned 2.63% over the same time period.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
The positive absolute performance for the 12-month period was driven mostly by current income from the Fund's floating rate exposure to high base rates but also some continued spread compression in Collateralized Loan Obligation (CLO) mezzanine tranches (debt tranches). On a relative basis, the Fund had another solid fiscal year given its high current income and low interest rate duration during a period of rising rates (10-Year Treasury yields increased during the trailing 12-months). For the quarter, CLO Debt (specifically CLO BBB and CLO BB/B holdings) provided the greatest positive contribution to performance. The Fund's exposure in Investment Grade Corporate Bonds, Asset-Backed Securities (ABS), Treasury Bonds and High Yield Bonds also provided significant positive contributions.
TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
Each of the Fund's sector allocations provided a positive contribution to performance. Holdings within Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS), Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS) and Investment Grade Bank Loans provided the least positive contribution to performance.
CURRENT POSITIONING
The Fund made a few notable rotations in Q2 2024. We further reduced our position in IG Corporates as spreads tightened further into the bottom decile on a long-term historical basis. The proceeds were rotated into three key areas: (i) ABS due to more favorable relative value compared to IG Corporates, (ii) 3-5 year U.S. Treasuries following the widening in yields seen in 2Q24, and (iii) CLO AAA debt which still screens as cheap compared to corporates and agencies. Within the broader CLO allocation, while we increased the AAA exposure, we opted to allow the BBB/BB to decreased organically - not reinvesting called tranches in proportion to the fund size - given the extent of spread tightening seen in both primary and secondary markets.
Fund Performance
The following graph and chart compare the initial and subsequent account values at the end of each of the most recently completed 10 fiscal years of the Fund, or for the life of the Fund, if shorter. It assumes a $250,000 initial investment at the beginning of the first fiscal year in an appropriate, broad-based securities market index for the same period.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
SUMMARY OF RESULTS
As a refresher, the investment objective of the Palmer Square Ultra-Short Duration Investment Grade Fund (the "Fund") is to seek income. A secondary objective of the Fund is to seek capital appreciation. The Fund is invested primarily in a broad universe of credit such as fixed and floating rate investment grade corporate bonds and notes, collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs"), traditional asset-backed securities ("ABS"), and commercial paper. We believe our portfolio presents an ultra-short duration income alternative for investors targeting potential yield, capital preservation, and low volatility.
For the 12-month period ended on June 30, 2024, the Palmer Square Ultra-Short Duration Investment Grade Fund returned 6.19%. The Fund's benchmark, the ICE BofA ML U.S. Treasury Bill Index, returned 5.43%, while the broad based Bloomberg Aggregate Bond Index returned 2.63% over the same time period.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
On a relative basis, the Fund had another solid fiscal year given its high current income and low interest rate duration during a period of rising rates (10-Year Treasury yields increased during the trailing 12-months). For the quarter, CLO Debt provided the greatest positive contribution to performance. The Fund's exposure in ABS, Investment Grade Corporate Bonds and Treasury Bills also provided significant positive contributions.
TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
Each of the Fund's sector allocations provided a positive contribution to performance. Holdings within Bank Loans and MBS as well as cash provided the least positive contribution to performance.
CURRENT POSITIONING
We believe the Fund has solid diversification across both corporate and structured credit. The four main tools we have utilized to do this include investment grade corporate bonds, commercial paper, traditional asset-backed securities, and CLO debt.

The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services during the past two fiscal years. "Audit services" refer to performing an audit of the registrant's annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years. "Audit-related services" refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit. "Tax services" refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning. There were no "other services" provided by the principal accountant. The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.

Palmer Square Funds FYE 6/30/2024 FYE 6/30/2023

(b) Audit-Related Fees N/A N/A
(c) Tax Fees $5,600 $5,600
(d) All Other Fees N/A N/A

(e)(1) The audit committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures that require the audit committee to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services of the registrant, including services provided to any entity affiliated with the registrant.

(e)(2) The percentage of fees billed by Tait, Weller, & Weller LLP applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement were as follows:

Palmer Square Funds FYE 6/30/2024 FYE 6/30/2023
Audit-Related Fees 0% 0%
Tax Fees 0% 0%
All Other Fees 0% 0%
(f) All of the principal accountant's hours spent on auditing the registrant's financial statements were attributed to work performed by full-time permanent employees of the principal accountant.

The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed or expected to be billed by the registrant's accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant's investment advisor (and any other controlling entity, etc.-not sub-advisor) for the last two years. The audit committee of the Board of Trustees has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant's investment advisor is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant's independence.

2 Bank loans generally pay interest at rates which are periodically determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. All loans carry a variable rate of interest. These base lending rates are generally (i) the Prime Rate offered by one or more major United States banks, (ii) the lending rate offered by one or more European banks such as the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), (iii) the Certificate of Deposit rate, or (iv) Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). Bank Loans, while exempt from registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, contain certain restrictions on resale and cannot be sold publicly. Floating rate bank loans often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy.
3 Callable.
4 Floating rate security.
5 Foreign security denominated in U.S. Dollars.
6 All or a portion of the loan is unfunded.
7 Denotes investments purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis.
8 Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities are restricted and may be resold in transactions exempt from registration normally to qualified institutional buyers. The total value of these securities is $445,994,023 which represents 49.17% of total net assets of the Fund.
9 Variable rate security.
10 The value of these securities was determined using significant unobservable inputs. These are reported as Level 3 securities in the Fair Value Hierarchy.
11 Convertible security.
12 All or a portion of this security is segregated as collateral for securities sold short. The market value of the securities pledged as collateral was $420,479, which represents 0.05% of total net assets of the Fund.
13 The rate is the annualized seven-day yield at period end.

1 Local currency.
2 Bank loans generally pay interest at rates which are periodically determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. All loans carry a variable rate of interest. These base lending rates are generally (i) the Prime Rate offered by one or more major United States banks, (ii) the lending rate offered by one or more European banks such as the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), (iii) the Certificate of Deposit rate, or (iv) Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). Bank Loans, while exempt from registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, contain certain restrictions on resale and cannot be sold publicly. Floating rate bank loans often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy.
3 Callable.
4 Floating rate security.
5 Foreign security denominated in U.S. Dollars.
6 Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities are restricted and may be resold in transactions exempt from registration normally to qualified institutional buyers. The total value of these securities is $41,450,331 which represents 48.13% of total net assets of the Fund.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2024

Note 1 - Organization

Palmer Square Income Plus Fund ("Income Plus Fund") and Palmer Square Ultra-Short Duration Investment Grade Fund ("Ultra-Short Duration Investment Grade Fund'') (each a "Fund" and collectively the "Funds") are organized as a diversified series of Investment Managers Series Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (the "Trust") which is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

The Income Plus Fund's primary investment objective is to seek income. A secondary objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Income Plus Fund commenced operations on February 28, 2014. Effective February 27, 2024, the Fund's outstanding shares were redesignated as Class I shares. Class T commenced operations on February 29, 2024. Class T shares are available for investment only by clients of the financial intermediaries, institutional investors, and a limited number of other investors approved by the Advisor. Prior to February 28, 2014, the Fund's only activity was the receipt of a $2,500 investment from principals of the Income Plus Fund's advisor and a $94,313,788 transfer of shares of the Income Plus Fund in exchange for the net assets of the Palmer Square Opportunistic Investment Grade Plus Trust ("Private Fund I") and Palmer Square Investment Grade Plus Trust ("Private Fund II"), each a Delaware statutory trust (each a "Private Fund" collectively, the "Private Funds"). This exchange was nontaxable, whereby the Income Plus Fund issued 9,428,446 shares for the net assets of the Private Funds on February 28, 2014. Assets with a fair market value of $94,313,788 consisting of cash, interest receivable and securities of the Private Funds with a fair value of $92,629,439 (identified cost of investments transferred $91,621,375) were the primary assets received by the Income Plus Fund. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Income Plus Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the Private Funds was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Income Plus Fund's realized and unrealized gains and losses with amount distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.

The Ultra-Short Duration Investment Grade Fund's primary investment objective is to seek income. A secondary objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Ultra-Short Duration Investment Grade Fund commenced investment operations on October 7, 2016.

Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 "Financial Services-Investment Companies".

Note 2 - Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

(a) Valuation of Investments

The Funds value equity securities at the last reported sale price on the principal exchange or in the principal over the counter ("OTC") market in which such securities are traded, as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE on the day the securities are being valued or, if the last-quoted sales price is not readily available, the securities will be valued at the last bid or the mean between the last available bid and ask price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP"). Pricing services generally value debt securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional round lot size, but such securities may be held or transactions may be conducted in such securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at the daily closing net asset value of the respective investment company. Debt securities are valued by utilizing a price supplied by independent pricing service providers. The independent pricing service providers may use various valuation methodologies including matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations. These models generally consider such factors as yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity, ratings and general market conditions. If a price is not readily available for a portfolio security, the security will be valued at fair value (the amount which the Funds might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale). The Board of Trustees has designated the Advisor as the Funds' valuation designee (the "Valuation Designee") to make all fair value determinations with respect to the Fund's portfolio investments, subject to the Board's oversight. As the Valuation Designee, the Advisor has adopted and implemented policies and procedures to be followed when the Fund must utilize fair value pricing.

(b) Bank Loans

The Funds may purchase participations in commercial loans. Such investments may be secured or unsecured. Loan participations typically represent direct participation, together with other parties, in a loan to a corporate borrower, and generally are offered by banks or other financial institutions or lending syndicates. The Funds may participate in such syndications, or can buy part of a loan, becoming a part lender. When purchasing indebtedness and loan participations, the Funds assume the credit risk associated with the corporate borrower and may assume the credit risk associated with an interposed bank or other financial intermediary. The indebtedness and loan participations in which the Funds intend to invest may not be rated by any nationally recognized rating service.

Bank loans may be structured to include both term loans, which are generally fully funded at the time of investment and unfunded loan commitments, which are contractual obligations for future funding. Unfunded loan commitments may include revolving credit facilities, which may obligate the Funds to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand, representing a potential financial obligation by the Funds in the future. The Funds may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit portion of a senior floating rate interest. Commitment fees are processed as a reduction in cost.

In addition, the Funds may enter into, or acquire participations in, delayed funding loans and revolving credit facilities. Delayed funding loans and revolving credit facilities are borrowing arrangements in which the lender agrees to make loans up to a maximum amount upon demand by the borrower during a specified term. A revolving credit facility differs from a delayed funding loan in that as the borrower repays the loan, an amount equal to the repayment may be borrowed again during the term of the revolving credit facility. Delayed funding loans and revolving credit facilities usually provide for floating or variable rates of interest. These commitments may have the effect of requiring the Fund to increase its investment in a company at a time when it might not otherwise decide to do so (including at a time when the company's financial condition makes it unlikely that such amounts will be repaid). To the extent that the Funds are committed to advance additional funds, it will at all-times segregate or "earmark" liquid assets, in an amount sufficient to meet such commitments.

(c) Asset-Backed Securities

Asset-backed securities include pools of mortgages, loans, receivables or other assets. Payment of principal and interest may be largely dependent upon the cash flows generated by the assets backing the securities, and, in certain cases, supported by letters of credit, surety bonds, or other credit enhancements. The value of asset-backed securities may also be affected by the creditworthiness of the servicing agent for the pool, the originator of the loans or receivables, or the financial institution(s) providing the credit support. In addition, asset-backed securities are not backed by any governmental agency.

Collateralized Debt Obligations ("CDOs") include Collateralized Bond Obligations ("CBOs"), Collateralized Loan Obligations ("CLOs") and other similarly structured securities. CBOs and CLOs are types of asset backed securities. A CBO is a trust which is backed by a diversified pool of high risk, below investment grade fixed income securities. A CLO is a trust typically collateralized by a pool of loans, which may include, among others, domestic and foreign senior secured loans, senior unsecured loans, and subordinate corporate loans, including loans that may be rated below investment grade or equivalent unrated loans. The risks of an investment in a CDO depend largely on the type of the collateral securities and the class of the CDO in which the Funds invest. CDOs carry additional risks including, but not limited to, (i) the possibility that distributions from collateral securities will not be adequate to make interest or other payments, (ii) the collateral may decline in value or default, (iii) the Funds may invest in CDOs that are subordinate to other classes, and (iv) the complex structure of the security may not be fully understood at the time of investment and may produce disputes with the issuer or unexpected investment results.

(d) Mortgage-Backed Securities

The Funds may invest in mortgage-backed securities ("MBS"), representing direct or indirect interests in pools of underlying residential or commercial mortgage loans that are secured by real property. These securities provide investors with payments consisting of both principal and interest as the mortgages in the underlying mortgage pools are paid.

The timely payment of principal and interest (but not the market value) on MBS issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae (formally known as the Government National Mortgage Association or GNMA) is backed by Ginnie Mae and the full faith and credit of the US government. Obligations issued by Fannie Mae (formally known as the Federal National Mortgage Association or FNMA) and Freddie Mac (formally known as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation or FHLMC) are historically supported only by the credit of the issuer, but currently are guaranteed by the US government in connection with such agencies being placed temporarily into conservatorship by the US government. Some MBS are sponsored or issued by private entities. Payments of principal and interest (but not the market value) of such private MBS may be supported by pools of residential or commercial mortgage loans or other MBS that are guaranteed, directly or indirectly, by the US government or one of its agencies or instrumentalities, or they may be issued without any government guarantee of the underlying mortgage assets but may contain some form of non-government credit enhancement.

Collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMO") are a type of MBS. A CMO is a debt security that may be collateralized by whole mortgage loans or mortgage pass-through securities. The mortgage loans or mortgage pass-through securities are divided into classes or tranches with each class having its own characteristics. Investors typically receive payments out of the interest and principal on the underlying mortgages. The portions of these payments that investors receive, as well as the priority of their rights to receive payments, are determined by the specific terms of the CMO class.

The yield characteristics of MBS differ from those of traditional debt securities. Among the major differences are that interest and principal payments are made more frequently, usually monthly, and that principal may be prepaid at any time because the underlying mortgage loans or other obligations generally may be prepaid at any time. Prepayments on a pool of mortgage loans are influenced by a variety of economic, geographic, social and other factors. Generally, prepayments on fixed-rate mortgage loans will increase during a period of falling interest rates and decrease during a period of rising interest rates. Certain classes of CMOs and other MBS are structured in a manner that makes them extremely sensitive to changes in prepayment rates.

(e) Short Sales

Short sales are transactions under which the Funds sell a security they do not own in anticipation of a decline in the value of that security. To complete such a transaction, the Funds must borrow the security to make delivery to the buyer. The Funds then are 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 Funds. 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 Funds are 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 Funds 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 Funds are subject to the risk that they may not always be able to close out a short position at a particular time or at an acceptable price.

(f) Futures Contracts

The Funds may enter into futures contracts (including contracts relating to foreign currencies, interest rates and other financial indexes), and purchase and write (sell) related options traded on exchanges designated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") or, consistent with CFTC regulations, on foreign exchanges. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Funds bear risks that it may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. Additional risks include counterparty credit risk, the possibility of an illiquid market, and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying asset.

A futures contract held by the Funds is valued daily at the official settlement price on the exchange on which it is traded. Variation margin does not represent borrowing or a loan by the Funds but is instead a settlement between the Funds and the broker of the amount one would owe the other if the futures contract expired. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds deposits cash or securities with the broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. The initial margin deposit must be maintained at an established level over the life of the contract. Cash deposited as initial margin is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash deposited with broker. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Schedule of Investments. During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by "marked to market" on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contracts at the end of each day's trading. Variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable and are offset in unrealized gains or losses. When the contracts are closed or expires, the Funds recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Funds basis in the contract.

(g) Swap Agreements and Swaptions

The Funds may enter into credit default swap agreements for investment purposes. A credit default swap agreement may have as reference obligations one or more securities that are not currently held by the Funds. The Funds may be either the buyer or seller in the transaction. Credit default swaps may also be structured based on the debt of a basket of issuers, rather than a single issuer, and may be customized with respect to the default event that triggers purchase or other factors. As a seller, the Funds would generally receive an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap, which typically is between six months and three years, provided that there is no credit event. If a credit event occurs, generally the seller must pay the buyer the full face amount of deliverable obligations of the reference obligations that may have little or no value. The notional value will be used to segregate liquid assets for selling protection on credit default swaps. If the Funds were a buyer and no credit event occurs, the Funds would recover nothing if the swap is held through its termination date. However, if a credit event occurs, the buyer may elect to receive the full notional value of the swap in exchange for an equal face amount of deliverable obligations of the reference obligation that may have little or no value. The use of swap agreements by the Funds entail certain risks, which may be different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in the securities and other investments that are the referenced asset for the swap agreement. Swaps are highly specialized instruments that require investment techniques, risk analyses, and tax planning different from those associated with stocks, bonds, and other traditional investments. The use of a swap requires an understanding not only of the referenced asset, reference rate, or index, but also of the swap itself, without the benefit of observing the performance of the swap under all the possible market conditions. Because some swap agreements have a leverage component, adverse changes in the value or level of the underlying asset, reference rate, or index can result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the swap itself. Certain swaps have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the initial investment.

The Funds may also purchase credit default swap contracts in order to hedge against the risk of default of the debt of a particular issuer or basket of issuers, in which case the Funds would function as the counterparty referenced in the preceding paragraph. This would involve the risk that the investment may expire worthless and would only generate income in the event of an actual default by the issuer(s) of the underlying obligation(s) (or, as applicable, a credit downgrade or other indication of financial instability). It would also involve the risk that the seller may fail to satisfy its payment obligations to the Funds in the event of a default. The purchase of credit default swaps involves costs, which will reduce each Fund's return.

The Funds may enter into total return swap contracts for investment purposes. Total return swaps are contracts in which one party agrees to make periodic payments based on the change in market value of the underlying assets, which may include a specified security, basket of securities or security indexes during the specified period, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate of the total return from other underlying assets. Total return swap agreements may be used to obtain exposure to a security or market without owning or taking physical custody of such security or market, including in cases in which there may be disadvantages associated with direct ownership of a particular security. In a typical total return equity swap, payments made by the Funds or the counterparty are based on the total return of a particular reference asset or assets (such as an equity security, a combination of such securities, or an index). That is, one party agrees to pay another party the return on a stock, basket of stocks, or stock index in return for a specified interest rate. By entering into an equity index swap, for example, the index receiver can gain exposure to stocks making up the index of securities without actually purchasing those stocks. Total return swaps involve not only the risk associated with the investment in the underlying securities, but also the risk of the counterparty not fulfilling its obligations under the agreement.

An option on a swap agreement, or a "swaption," is a contract that gives a counterparty the right (but not the obligation) to enter into a new swap agreement or to shorten, extend, cancel or otherwise modify an existing swap agreement, at some designated future time on specified terms. In return, the purchaser pays a "premium" to the seller of the contract. The seller of the contract receives the premium and bears the risk of unfavorable changes on the underlying swap. The Funds may write (sell) and purchase put and call swaptions. The Funds may also enter into swaptions on either an asset-based or liability-based basis, depending on whether the Funds are hedging its assets or its liabilities. The Funds may write (sell) and purchase put and call swaptions to the same extent it may make use of standard options on securities or other instruments. The Funds may enter into these transactions primarily to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or portion of its holdings, as a duration management technique, to protect against an increase in the price of securities the Funds anticipate purchasing at a later date, or for any other purposes, such as for speculation to increase returns. Swaptions are generally subject to the same risks involved in the Funds' use of options.

Depending on the terms of the particular option agreement, the Funds will generally incur a greater degree of risk when they write a swaption than they will incur when it purchases a swaption. When the Funds purchase a swaption, they risk losing only the amount of the premium they have paid should they decide to let the option expire unexercised. However, when the Funds write a swaption, upon exercise of the option the Funds will become obligated according to the terms of the underlying agreement.

(h) Options Contracts

The Funds may write or purchase options contracts primarily to enhance each Fund's returns or reduce volatility. In addition, the Funds may utilize options in an attempt to generate gains from options premiums or to reduce overall portfolio risk. When the Funds write or purchases an option, an amount equal to the premium received or paid by the Funds are recorded as a liability or an asset and is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the option written or purchased. Premiums received or paid from writing or purchasing options which expire unexercised are treated by the Funds on the expiration date as realized gains or losses. The difference between the premium and the amount paid or received on effecting a closing purchase or sale transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain or loss. If an option is exercised, the premium paid or received is added to the cost of the purchase or proceeds from the sale in determining whether the Funds have realized a gain or a loss on investment transactions. The Funds, as a writer of an option, may have no control over whether the underlying securities may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.

(i) Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

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

(j) Investment Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses

Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded net of applicable withholding taxes on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if applicable, are paid (a portion of which may be reclaimable) or provided for in accordance with the applicable country's tax rules and rates and are disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Withholding tax reclaims are filed in certain countries to recover a portion of the amounts previously withheld. The Funds record a reclaim receivable based on a number of factors, including a jurisdiction's legal obligation to pay reclaims as well as payment history and market convention. Discounts on debt securities are accreted or amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Premiums for callable debt securities are amortized to the earliest call date, if the call price was less than the purchase price. If the call price was not at par and the security was not called, the security is amortized to the next call price and date. Expenses incurred by the Trust with respect to more than one fund are allocated in proportion to the net assets of each fund except where allocation of direct expenses to each Fund or an alternative allocation method can be more appropriately made.

(k) Federal Income Taxes

The Funds intend to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their net investment income and any net realized gains to their shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for federal income or excise taxes. Due to the timing of dividend distributions and the differences in accounting for income and realized gains and losses for financial statement and federal income tax purposes, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the income and realized gains and losses are recorded by the Funds.

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

49

Palmer Square Funds

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

June 30, 2024

The Income Tax Statement requires management of the Funds to analyze tax positions taken in the prior three open tax years, if any, and tax positions expected to be taken in the Fund's current tax year, as defined by the IRS statute of limitations for all major jurisdictions, including federal tax authorities and certain state tax authorities. As of June 30, 2024, and during the prior three open tax years, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds have no examination in progress and are not aware of any tax positions for which they are reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

(l) Distributions to Shareholders

The Funds will make distributions of net investment income quarterly and net capital gains, if any, at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions, typically in December, are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from the characterization for federal income tax purposes due to differences in the recognition of income, expense and gain (loss) items for financial statement and tax purposes.

(m) Illiquid Securities

Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Funds have adopted a Liquidity Risk Management Program ("LRMP") that requires, among other things, that the Funds limit their illiquid investments that are assets to no more than 15% of net assets. An illiquid investment is any security which may not reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. If the Advisor, at any time, determines that the value of illiquid securities held by a Fund exceeds 15% of its net asset value, the Advisor will take such steps as it considers appropriate to reduce them as soon as reasonably practicable in accordance with the Funds' written LRMP.

Note 3 - Investment Advisory and Other Agreements

The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement") with Palmer Square Capital Management LLC (the "Advisor"). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Income Plus Fund pays a monthly investment advisory fee to the Advisor at the annual rate of 0.49% of its average daily net assets and the Ultra-Short Duration Investment Grade Fund pays a monthly investment advisory fee to the Advisor at the annual rate of 0.25% of its average daily net assets. Prior to November 1, 2019, the Income Plus Fund paid monthly investment advisory fee at the annual rate of 0.55% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or pay for operating expenses of the Funds to ensure that total annual operating expenses (excluding any taxes, leverage interest, brokerage commissions, dividend and interest expenses on short sales, acquired fund fees and expenses (as determined in accordance with Form N-1A), expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, and extraordinary expenses such as litigation expenses) do not exceed 0.75%, 0.60% and 0.50% of the Income Plus Fund Class I shares, Income Plus Fund Class T shares and Ultra-Short Duration Investment Grade Fund's average daily net assets, respectively. This agreement is in effect until October 31, 2024 and it may be terminated before that date only by the Trust's Board of Trustees.

For the year ended June 30, 2024, the Advisor waived advisory fees totaling $67,647 for the Ultra-Short Duration Investment Grade Fund. The Advisor is permitted to seek reimbursement from the Fund, subject to certain limitations, of fees waived or payments made to the Fund for a period ending three full fiscal years after the date of the waiver or payment. This reimbursement may be requested from the Fund if the reimbursement will not cause the Fund's annual expense ratio to exceed the lesser of (a) the expense limitation amount in effect at the time such fees were waived or payments made, or (b) the expense limitation amount in effect at the time of the reimbursement. The potential recoverable amount is noted as "Commitments and contingencies" as reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Advisor may recapture all or a portion of this amount no later than dates stated below:

The Funds' allocated fees incurred for fund accounting, fund administration, transfer agency and custody services for the year ended June 30, 2024, are reported on the Statement of Operations.

The Funds have a fee arrangement with its custodian, UMB Bank, n.a., which provides for custody fees to be reduced by earning credits based on cash balances left on deposit with the custodian. For the year ended June 30, 2024, no credits were earned to reduce total fees.

IMST Distributors, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Foreside Financial Group, LLC (d/b/a ACA Group), serves as the Funds' distributor (the "Distributor"). The Distributor does not receive compensation from the Funds for its distribution services; the Advisor pays the Distributor a fee for its distribution-related services.

Certain trustees and officers of the Trust are employees of UMBFS or MFAC. The Funds do not compensate trustees and officers affiliated with the Funds' co-administrators. For the year ended June 30, 2024, the Funds' allocated fees incurred to Trustees who are not affiliated with the Funds' co-administrators are reported on the Statement of Operations.

The Funds' Board of Trustees has adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan") for the Independent Trustees that enables Trustees to elect to receive payment in cash or the option to select various fund(s) in the Trust in which their deferred accounts shall be deemed to be invested. If a trustee elects to defer payment, the Plan provides for the creation of a deferred payment account. The Funds' liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes in the invested fund(s) and remains a liability to the Funds until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The Trustees Deferred compensation liability under the Plan constitutes a general unsecured obligation of the Funds and is disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Contributions made under the plan and the change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation and income are included in the Trustees' fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations.

Dziura Compliance Consulting, LLC provides Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO") services to the Trust. The Funds' allocated fees incurred for CCO services for the year ended June 30, 2024, are reported on the Statement of Operations.

Note 4 - Federal Income Taxes

At June 30, 2024, the cost of securities on a tax basis and gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments and securities sold short for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Income Plus Fund Ultra-Short Duration
Investment Grade
Fund
Cost of investments $ 920,559,144 $ 82,205,611
Gross unrealized appreciation $ 6,715,499 $ 198,723
Gross unrealized depreciation (10,773,823 ) (204,361 )
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments $ (4,058,324 ) $ (5,638 )

The difference between cost amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes is due primarily to timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses in security transactions.

GAAP requires certain components of net assets to 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 June 30, 2024, permanent differences in book and tax accounting have been reclassified to Capital and Total accumulated deficit as follows:

Note 6 - Shareholder Servicing Plan

The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, has adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan to pay a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.15% of average daily net assets attributable to Class I shares serviced by shareholder servicing agents who provide administrative and support services to their customers. Class T shares do not participate in the Shareholder Servicing Plan.

For the year ended June 30, 2024, shareholder servicing fees incurred are disclosed on the Statement of Operations.

Note 7 - Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Note 8 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. It also provides guidance on determining when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or a liability, when a transaction is not orderly, and how that information must be incorporated into a fair value measurement.

Under Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds' investments. These inputs are summarized into three broad Levels as described below:

· Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.
· Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
· Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds' own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

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

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different Levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the Level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest Level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of June 30, 2024, in valuing the Funds' assets carried at fair value:

Note 10 - Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The guidance requires retrospective application for all comparative periods presented.

A Fund mitigates credit risk with respect to OTC derivative counterparties through credit support annexes included with International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreements or other Master Netting Agreements which are the standard contracts governing most derivative transactions between the Funds and each of its counterparties. These agreements allow the Funds and each counterparty to offset certain derivative financial instruments' payables and/or receivables against each other and/or with collateral, which is generally held by the Funds' custodian. The amount of collateral moved to/from applicable counterparties is based upon minimum transfer amounts specified in the agreement. To the extent amounts due to each Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized contractually or otherwise, each Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance.

The Funds did not hold swap contracts at June 30, 2024.

Note 11 - Unfunded Commitments

The Funds may enter into unfunded loan commitments. Unfunded loan commitments may be partially or wholly unfunded.

Note 12 - Line of Credit

The Funds together with other funds managed by the Advisor (together "Palmer Square Funds") have entered into a Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility ("Facility") of $75,000,000 with UMB Bank, n.a. Each Fund is permitted to borrow up to the lesser of the available credit line amount or an amount up to 20% of the adjusted net assets of each Fund. The purpose of the Facility is to finance temporarily the repurchase or redemption of shares of each fund. Borrowings under this agreement bear interest at the Wall Street Journal Prime rate minus 50bps, with a minimum rate of 6.00%. As compensation for holding the lending commitment available, the Palmer Square Funds are charged a commitment fee on the average daily unused balance of the Facility at the rate of 0.25% per annum. The commitment fees for the year ended June 30, 2024 are disclosed in the Statement of Operations. During the year ended June 30, 2024, the Income Plus Fund and the Ultra-Short Duration Investment Grade Fund did not borrow under the line of credit. There was no line of credit payable balance in the Funds at June 30, 2024.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

Note 13 - Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risks

Certain local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illnesses and/or other public health issues, financial institution instability or other events may have a significant impact on a security or instrument. These types of events and other like them are collectively referred to as "Market Disruptions and Geopolitical Risks" and they may have adverse impacts on the worldwide economy, as well as the economies of individual countries, the financial health of individual companies and the market in general in significant and unforeseen ways. Some of the impacts noted in recent times include but are not limited to embargos, political actions, supply chain disruptions, bank failures, restrictions to investment and/or monetary movement including the forced selling of securities or the inability to participate impacted markets. The duration of these events could adversely affect the Fund's performance, the performance of the securities in which the Fund invests and may lead to losses on your investment. The ultimate impact of "Market Disruptions and Geopolitical Risks" on the financial performance of the Fund's investments is not reasonably estimable at this time. Management is actively monitoring these events.

Note 14 - New Accounting Pronouncements and Regulatory Updates

Effective January 24, 2023, the SEC adopted rule and form amendments to require mutual funds and exchange- traded funds (ETFs) to transmit concise and visually engaging streamlined annual and semiannual reports to shareholders that highlight key information deemed important for retail investors to assess and monitor their fund investments. Other information, including financial statements, will no longer appear in the funds' streamlined shareholder reports but must be available online, delivered free of charge upon request, and filed on a semiannual basis on Form N-CSR. The rule and form amendments have a compliance date of July 24, 2024. The Funds have adopted procedures in accordance with the SEC's rules and form amendments.

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in the ASU provide optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. The ASU is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which extends the period through December 31, 2024. Management has reviewed the requirements and believes the adoption of these ASUs will not have a material impact on the financial statements.

Note 15 - Events Subsequent to Period End

The Funds have adopted financial reporting rules regarding subsequent events which require an entity to recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet. Management has evaluated each Fund's related events and transactions that occurred through the date of issuance of each Fund's financial statements.

There were no events or transactions that occurred during this period that materially impacted the amounts or disclosures in each Fund's financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Trustees of Investment Managers Series Trust and

Shareholders of Palmer Square Funds

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the Palmer Square Income Plus Fund and Palmer Square Ultra-Short Duration Investment Grade Fund (the "Funds"), each a series of Investment Managers Series Trust, including the schedules of investments, as of June 30, 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, financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Palmer Square Income Plus Fund and Palmer Square Ultra-Short Duration Investment Grade Fund as of June 30, 2024, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and their financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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 have served as the auditor of one or more of the funds in the Trust since 2007.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

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 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. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2024 by correspondence with the custodian, agent banks, and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
