About This Report (unaudited)
Historical Returns
All total returns mentioned in this Report account for the change in a Fund’s per-share price and the reinvestment of any dividends, capital gain distributions, and adjustments for financial statement purposes. If your account is set up to receive Fund distributions in cash rather than to reinvest them, your actual return may differ from these figures. The Funds’ performance results do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. The Adviser may have reimbursed certain fees or expenses of some of the Funds. If not for these reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Fund results shown, unless otherwise indicated, are at net asset value. If a sales charge (maximum 5.75%) had been deducted, results would have been lower.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance results represent past performance, and current performance may be higher or lower. Please call 1-800-764-0442 or visit www.iconfunds.com for performance results current to the most recent month-end.
Portfolio Data
This Report reflects ICON’s portfolio holdings as of March 31, 2010, the end of the reporting period. The information is not a complete analysis of every aspect of any sector, industry, security or the Funds.
While ICON’s quantitative investment methodology primarily considers company-specific factors beyond financial data, various company factors may impact a stock’s performance, and therefore, Fund performance. Investments in foreign securities may entail unique risks, including political, market, and currency risks. Financial statements of foreign companies are governed by different accounting, auditing, and financial standards than U.S. companies and may be less transparent and uniform than in the United States. Many corporate governance standards, which help ensure the integrity of public information in the United States, do not exist in some foreign countries. In general, there may be less governmental supervision of foreign stock exchanges and securities brokers and issuers. The ICON system relies on the integrity of financial statements released to the market as part of our analysis.
According to ICON, value investing is an analytical, quantitative approach to investing that employs various factors, including projecting earnings growth estimates, in an effort to determine whether securities are over- or
underpriced relative to ICON’s estimates of their intrinsic value. Value investing involves risks and uncertainties and does not guarantee better performance or lower costs than other investment methodologies. ICON’s value-to-price ratio is a ratio of intrinsic value, as calculated using ICON’s proprietary valuation methodology, of a broad range of domestic and international securities within ICON’s system as compared to the current market price of those securities.
There are risks associated with mutual fund investing, including the loss of principal. The likelihood of loss may be greater if you invest for a shorter period of time. There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful results.
There are risks associated with selling short, including the risk that the ICON Long/Short Fund may have to cover its short position at a higher price than the short price, resulting in a loss. The ICON Long/Short Fund’s loss on a short sale is potentially unlimited as a loss occurs when the value of a security sold short increases. Call options involve certain risks, such as limited gains and lack of liquidity in the underlying securities, and are not suitable for all investors. An investment concentrated in sectors and industries may involve greater risk and volatility than a more diversified investment. Investments in foreign securities may entail unique risks, including political, market, and currency risks.
Investing in fixed income securities such as bonds involves interest rate risk. When interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities generally decreases. The ICON Bond Fund and the Equity Income Fund may invest up to 25% of its assets in high-yield bonds that are below investment grade. High-yield bonds involve a greater risk of default and price volatility than U.S. Government and other higher-quality bonds.
The prospectus and statement of additional information contain this and other information about the Funds and are available by visiting www.iconfunds.com or calling 1-800-764-0442. Please read the prospectus and statement of additional information carefully.

Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2010 (unaudited)
1. Organization
The ICON Bond Fund (“Bond Fund”), ICON Core Equity Fund (“Core Equity Fund”), ICON Equity Income Fund (“Equity Income Fund”), ICON Long/Short Fund (“Long/Short Fund”) and ICON Risk-Managed Equity Fund (“Risk-Managed Equity Fund”) (formerly ICON Income Opportunity Fund) are series funds (individually a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Funds are part of the ICON Funds (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end investment management company. Each Fund offers four classes of shares: Class I, Class C, Class Z and Class A with the exception of Bond Fund, which offers three classes of shares: Class I, Class C and Class Z. All classes have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges except that each Class may bear different distribution fees, registration costs, legal costs, mailing and printing costs and shareholder servicing costs and each Class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan. There are currently 12 other active Funds within the Trust. Those Funds are covered by separate prospectuses and shareholder reports.
Each Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of no par shares. The investment objective of the Bond Fund is maximum total return. The investment objective of the Core Equity Fund is long-term capital appreciation with a secondary objective of capital preservation. The investment objective of the Equity Income Fund is modest capital appreciation and income. The investment objective of the Long/Short Fund is capital appreciation. The investment objective of the Risk-Managed Equity Fund is modest capital appreciation and to maximize realized gains.
The Funds may have elements of risk, including the risk of loss of principal. There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful results. An investment concentrated in sectors and industries may involve greater risk and volatility than a more diversified investment. Investing in fixed income securities such as bonds involves interest rate risk. When interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities generally decreases. Additionally, the Bond Fund may invest in medium-and lower-quality debt securities. High-yield bonds involve a greater risk of default and price volatility than U.S. government and other high-quality bonds. The Long/Short Fund engages in short selling; there are risks associated with selling short, including the risk that the Long/Short Fund may have to cover its short position at a higher price than the short sale, resulting in a loss. The Long/Short Fund’s loss on a short sale is potentially unlimited as a loss

occurs when the value of a security sold short increases. The Risk-Managed Equity Fund invests in call options; call options involve certain risks, such as limited gains and lack of liquidity of the underlying securities, and are not suitable for all investors. Investments in foreign securities and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of U.S. dollar-denominated transactions as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of lower government supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets and the possibility of political or economic instability. Financial statements of foreign companies are governed by different accounting, auditing, and financial standards than U.S. companies and may be less transparent and uniform than in the United States. Many corporate governance standards, which help ensure the integrity of public information in the United States, may not exist in some foreign countries. In general, there may be less governmental supervision of foreign stock exchanges and securities brokers and issuers. There are also risks associated with small- and mid-cap investing, including limited product lines, less liquidity and small market share.
In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into various agreements that provide for general indemnifications. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as any potential exposure involving future claims that may be made against each Fund is unknown. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be minimal.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of 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 requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Investment Valuation
The Funds’ securities and other assets are valued at the closing price at the close of the regular trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) (normally 4 p.m. Eastern Standard Time) each day the NYSE is open,
Notes to Financial Statements 47
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
except that securities traded primarily on the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) are normally valued by the Funds at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price provided by NASDAQ each business day.
The Funds use pricing services to obtain the market value of securities in their portfolios; if a pricing service is not able to provide a price, or the pricing service’s valuation quote is considered inaccurate or does not reflect the market value of the security, prices may be obtained through market quotations from independent broker/dealers. If market quotations from these sources are not readily available, the Funds’ securities or other assets are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (“Board”) or pursuant to procedures approved by the Board.
Lacking any sales that day, a security is valued at the current closing bid price (or yield equivalent thereof) or based on quotes obtained from dealers making a market for the security. Options are valued at their closing mid-price on the market with the most volume. Mid-price is the average of the closing bid and closing ask prices. Debt securities with a remaining maturity of greater than 60 days are valued in accordance with the evaluated bid price supplied by the pricing service. The evaluated bid price supplied by the pricing service is based upon a matrix valuation system which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities and ratings. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market value. Currency rates as of the close of the NYSE are used to convert foreign security values into U.S. dollars.
The Funds’ securities traded in countries outside of the Western Hemisphere are fair valued daily by utilizing the quotations of an independent pricing service, unless the Board determines that use of another valuation methodology is appropriate. The purposes of daily fair valuation are to avoid stale prices and to take into account, among other things, any significant events occurring after the close of foreign markets. The pricing service uses statistical analyses and quantitative models to adjust local market prices using factors such as subsequent movements and changes in the prices of indexes, securities and exchange rates in other markets to determine fair value as of the time a Fund calculates its net asset value (“NAV”). The valuation assigned to fair-value securities for purposes of calculating a Fund’s NAV may differ from the security’s most recent closing market price and from the prices used by other mutual funds to calculate their NAVs.
Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.
48 Notes to Financial Statements
Various inputs are used to determine the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 — significant observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk).
Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs.
Observable inputs are those based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Funds, and unobservable inputs reflect the Funds’ own assumptions based on the best information available. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, non-U.S. equity securities actively traded in certain foreign markets generally are reflected in Level 2 despite the availability of closing prices, because the Funds evaluate and determine whether those closing prices reflect fair value at the close of the NYSE or require adjustment, as described above. The following table summarizes the Funds’ investments, based on the inputs used to determine their values on March 31, 2010:

There were no Level 3 securities held in any of the Funds at March 31, 2010.
Foreign Currency Translation
The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated daily into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange. Income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions. Purchases and sales of securities are translated into U.S. dollars at the contractual currency exchange rates established at the time of each trade.
50 Notes to Financial Statements
The Funds do 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. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments and foreign currency translations arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, resulting from changes in the exchange rates and changes in market prices of securities held.
Derivatives
Each Fund may use derivatives for various purposes. The Funds’ use of derivatives for the period ended March 31, 2010 was limited to written and purchased options. Following is a summary of how these derivatives are treated in the financial statements and their impact on the Funds:

Information about derivative instruments reflected as of the date of this report is generally indicative of the type and volume of derivative activity for the period ended March 31, 2010.
The Funds value derivatives at fair value, as described below, and recognize changes in fair value currently in the results of operations. Accordingly, the Funds do not follow hedge accounting, even for derivatives employed as economic hedges.
Options Transactions
The Risk-Managed Equity Fund’s primary investment strategy involves the use of options. Each of the other Funds may also purchase and/or write (sell) call and put options on any security in which it may invest. The Funds utilize options to hedge against changes in market conditions and to provide market exposure while trying to reduce transaction costs.
Option contracts involve market risk and can be highly volatile. Should prices of securities or securities indexes move in an unexpected manner, the Funds may not achieve the desired benefits and may realize losses and thus be in a worse position than if such strategies had not been utilized.
When a Fund writes a put or call option, an amount equal to the premium received is included on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a written call option on an individual security is exercised, a gain or loss is realized for the sale of the underlying security,
52 Notes to Financial Statements
and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a written call option on a securities index is exercised, a gain or loss is realized as determined by the premium originally received, the exercise price and the market value of the index. If a written put option on an individual security is exercised, the cost of the security acquired is decreased by the premium originally received. As a writer of an option, a Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the individual security or securities index underlying the written option. Additionally, written call options may involve the risk of limited gains, lack of liquidity for the option and lack of liquidity for the security or securities index.
Each Fund may also purchase put and call options. When a Fund purchases a put or call option, an amount equal to the premium paid is included on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment, and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires on the stipulated expiration date or if the Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If the Fund exercises a call option on an individual security, the cost of the security acquired is increased by the premium paid for the call. If the Fund exercises a put option on an individual security, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such a sale are decreased by the premium originally paid. If the Fund exercises a put or a call option on a security index, a gain or loss is realized as determined by the premium originally paid or received, the exercise price and the market value of the index. Written and purchased options are non-income producing securities.
As of March 31, 2010, the Equity Income Fund engaged in purchased call options transactions and the Risk-Managed Equity Fund engaged in written call and purchased put options transactions. All open options contracts are included on each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
The Risk-Managed Equity Fund’s written options are collateralized by cash and/or securities held in a segregated account at the Fund’s custodian. Such collateral is restricted from the Funds’ use. The cash collateral held for the prime broker and/or the borrowings from the prime broker are included on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The securities pledged as collateral are included on the Schedule of Investments.

Short Sales
The Long/Short Fund may engage in short sales (selling securities it does not own) as part of its normal investment activities. The Long/Short Fund enters into short positions in equity securities identified as being overvalued.
Short sales involve market risk. If a security sold short increases in price, the Long/Short Fund may have to cover its short position at a higher price than the short sale price, resulting in a loss. These short sales are collateralized by cash and/or securities held with the Fund’s prime broker and in a segregated account at the Fund’s custodian. The collateral required is determined daily by reference to the market value of the short positions. Such collateral for the Funds is restricted from use. The cash collateral that is restricted from use is included on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as “Deposits for short sales.” The securities pledged as collateral that are restricted from use are included on the Schedule of Investments. Dividends received on short sales are treated as an expense on the Statement of Operations. Liabilities for securities sold short are reported at market value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such liabilities are subject to off-balance sheet risk to the extent of any future increases in market value of the securities sold short. The ultimate liability for securities sold short may exceed the liabilities recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Liabilities for securities sold short are closed out by purchasing the applicable securities for delivery to the Fund’s prime broker. As of March 31, 2010, the Long/Short Fund engaged in short selling. The short positions are included in the Schedule of Securities Sold Short on the Schedule of Investments.
54 Notes to Financial Statements
Securities Lending
Under procedures adopted by the Board, the Funds may lend securities to non-affiliated qualified parties. The Funds seek to earn additional income through securities lending. There is the risk of delay in recovering a loaned security. The Funds do not have the right to vote on securities while they are on loan; however, the Funds may attempt to call back the loan and vote the proxy.
All loans will be continuously secured by collateral which consists of cash. The cash collateral invested is disclosed on the Schedule of Investments. The lending fees received and the Funds’ portion of the interest income earned on cash collateral are included on the Statement of Operations, if applicable.
The Funds did participate in securities lending throughout the period. However, as of March 31, 2010, the Funds did not have any securities on loan.
Income Taxes
The Funds intend to qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and, accordingly, the Funds will generally not be subject to federal and state income taxes, or federal excise taxes to the extent that they intend to make sufficient distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains.
Dividends paid by the Funds from net investment income and distributions of net realized short-term gains are, for federal income tax purposes, taxable as ordinary income to shareholders.
Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Funds on the ex-dividend/distribution date. The Bond Fund distributes net investment income, if any, to shareholders monthly. The Equity Income Fund and the Risk-Managed Equity Fund intend to distribute net investment income, if any, to shareholders quarterly. Other Funds distribute income, if any, annually. The Funds distribute net realized capital gains, if any, to shareholders at least annually, if not offset by capital loss carryovers. The Funds may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes and designate earnings and profits, including net realized gains distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares, as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ
Notes to Financial Statements 55
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements.
The Funds file U.S. tax returns. While the statute of limitations remains open to examine the Funds’ U.S. tax returns filed for the past four years, no examinations are in progress or anticipated at this time. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Investment Income
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Funds are informed of the dividend if such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the life of the respective securities.
Investment Transactions
Security transactions are accounted for no later than one business day after the trade date. However, for financial reporting purposes, security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Allocation of Income and Expenses
Each class of a Fund’s shares bears expenses incurred specifically on its behalf and, in addition, each class bears a portion of general expenses, based upon relative net assets of each class. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a specific Fund in the Trust are apportioned between all Funds in the Trust based upon relative net assets. In calculating the net asset value per share of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses other than class-specific expenses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets.

6. Federal Income Tax
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from accounting principles that are generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are due to differing treatments for items such as net short-term gains, deferrals of wash sale losses, foreign currency transactions, net investment losses, and capital loss carryforwards.
The tax components of capital shown in the following tables represent losses or deductions the Funds may be able to offset against income and gains recognized in future years and post October loss deferrals. The accumulated losses noted represent net capital loss carryforwards as of September 30,

Six Month Hypothetical Expense Example
March 31, 2010 (unaudited)
Example
As a shareholder of a Fund you may pay two types of fees: transaction fees and fund-related fees. Certain funds charge transaction fees, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees. Funds also incur various ongoing expenses, including management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses, which are indirectly paid by shareholders.
This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the various ICON Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the six-month period (10/1/09-3/31/10).
Actual Expenses
The first line in the table for each Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. The Example includes, but is not limited to, management fees, 12b-1 fees, fund accounting, custody and transfer agent fees. However, the Example does not include client specific fees, such as the $10 fee charged to IRA accounts, or the $15 fee charged for wire redemptions. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for each Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line in the table for each Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads),
redemption fees, or exchange fees that may be charged by other funds. Therefore, this information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

About This Report (unaudited)
Historical Returns
All total returns mentioned in this Report account for the change in a Fund’s per-share price and the reinvestment of any dividends, capital gain distributions, and adjustments for financial statement purposes. If your account is set up to receive Fund distributions in cash rather than to reinvest them, your actual return may differ from these figures. The Funds’ performance results do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. The Adviser may have reimbursed certain fees or expenses of some of the Funds. If not for these reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Fund results shown, unless otherwise indicated, are at net asset value. If a sales charge (maximum 5.75%) had been deducted, results would have been lower.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance results represent past performance, and current performance may be higher or lower. Please call 1-800-764-0442 or visit www.iconfunds.com for performance results current to the most recent month-end.
Portfolio Data
This Report reflects ICON’s portfolio holdings as of March 31, 2010, the end of the reporting period. The information is not a complete analysis of every aspect of any sector, industry, security or the Funds.
While ICON’s quantitative investment methodology primarily considers company-specific factors beyond financial data, various company factors may impact a stock’s performance, and therefore, Fund performance. Investments in foreign securities may entail unique risks, including political, market, and currency risks. Financial statements of foreign companies are governed by different accounting, auditing, and financial standards than U.S. companies and may be less transparent and uniform than in the United States. Many corporate governance standards, which help ensure the integrity of public information in the United States, do not exist in some foreign countries. In general, there may be less governmental supervision of foreign stock exchanges and securities brokers and issuers. The ICON system relies on the integrity of financial statements released to the market as part of our analysis.
There are risks associated with mutual fund investing, including the loss of principal. The likelihood of loss may be greater if you invest for a shorter
period of time. There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful results.
An investment in a region fund may involve greater risk and volatility than a diversified fund. An investment concentrated in sectors and industries may involve greater risk and volatility than a more diversified investment.
According to ICON, value investing is an analytical, quantitative approach to investing that employs various factors, including projecting earnings growth estimates, in an effort to determine whether securities are over- or underpriced relative to ICON’s estimates of their intrinsic value. Value investing involves risks and uncertainties and does not guarantee better performance or lower costs than other investment methodologies. ICON’s value-to-price ratio is a ratio of intrinsic value, as calculated using ICON’s proprietary valuation methodology, of a broad range of domestic and international securities within ICON’s system as compared to the current market price of those securities.
The prospectus and statement of additional information contain this and other information about the Funds and are available by visiting www.iconfunds.com or calling 1-800-764-0442. Please read the prospectus and statement of additional information carefully.
Financial Intermediary
If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may influence the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s Web site for more information.

1. Organization
The ICON Asia-Pacific Region Fund (“Asia-Pacific Region Fund”), ICON Europe Fund (“Europe Fund”) and ICON International Equity Fund (“International Equity Fund”) are series funds (individually a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Funds are part of the ICON Funds (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end investment management company. The Asia-Pacific Region Fund and the Europe Fund offer five classes of shares: Class S, Class I, Class C, Class Z and Class A. The International Equity Fund offers six classes of shares: Class S, Class I, Class C, Class Z, Class A, and Class Q. All classes have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges except that each Class may bear different distribution fees, registration costs, legal costs, mailing and printing costs and shareholder servicing costs and each Class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan. There are currently 14 other active Funds within the Trust. Those Funds are covered by separate prospectuses and shareholder reports.
Each Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of no par shares. The Funds primarily invest in foreign securities; the Asia-Pacific Region Fund and the Europe Fund primarily invest in companies whose principal business activities fall within specific regions. The investment objective of each Fund is to provide long-term capital appreciation.
The Funds may have elements of risk, including the risk of loss of principal. There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful results. An investment concentrated in sectors and industries may involve greater risk and volatility than a more diversified investment. Investments in foreign securities and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of U.S. dollar-denominated transactions as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of lower government supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets and the possibility of political or economic instability. Financial statements of foreign companies are governed by different accounting, auditing, and financial standards than U.S. companies and may be less transparent and uniform than in the United States. Many corporate governance standards, which help ensure the integrity of public information in the United States, may not exist in some foreign countries. In general, there may be less governmental supervision of foreign stock exchanges and securities brokers and issuers. There are also risks associated with small-and
30 Notes to Financial Statements
mid-cap investing, including limited product lines, less liquidity, and small market share.
The International Equity Fund has a significant weighting in the Financial sector which may cause the Fund’s performance to be susceptible to the economic, business or other developments that affect that sector.
In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into various agreements that provide for general indemnifications. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as any potential exposure involving future claims that may be made against each Fund is unknown. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be minimal.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of 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 requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Investment Valuation
The Funds’ securities and other assets are valued at the closing price at the close of the regular trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) (normally 4 p.m. Eastern Standard Time) each day the NYSE is open, except that securities traded primarily on the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) are normally valued by the Funds at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price provided by NASDAQ each business day.
The Funds use pricing services to obtain the market value of securities in their portfolios; if a pricing service is not able to provide a price, or the pricing service’s valuation quote is considered inaccurate or does not reflect the market value of the security, prices may be obtained through market quotations from independent broker/dealers. If market quotations from these sources are not readily available, the Funds’ securities or other assets are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (“Board”) or pursuant to procedures approved by the Board.
Notes to Financial Statements 31
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
Lacking any sales that day, a security is valued at the current closing bid price (or yield equivalent thereof) or based on quotes obtained from dealers making a market for the security. Options are valued at their closing mid-price on the market with the most volume. Mid-price is the average of the closing bid and closing ask prices. Debt securities with a remaining maturity of greater than 60 days are valued in accordance with the evaluated bid price supplied by the pricing service. The evaluated bid price supplied by the pricing service is based upon a matrix valuation system which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities and ratings. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market value. Currency rates as of the close of the NYSE are used to convert foreign security values into U.S. dollars.
The Funds’ securities traded in countries outside of the Western Hemisphere are fair valued daily by utilizing the quotations of an independent pricing service, unless the Board determines that use of another valuation methodology is appropriate. The purposes of daily fair valuation are to avoid stale prices and to take into account, among other things, any significant events occurring after the close of foreign markets. The pricing service uses statistical analyses and quantitative models to adjust local market prices using factors such as subsequent movements and changes in the prices of indexes, securities and exchange rates in other markets to determine fair value as of the time a Fund calculates its net asset value (“NAV”). The valuation assigned to fair-value securities for purposes of calculating a Fund’s NAV may differ from the security’s most recent closing market price and from the prices used by other mutual funds to calculate their NAVs.
Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.
Various inputs are used to determine the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 — significant observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk).
Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs.
Observable inputs are those based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Funds, and unobservable inputs reflect the Funds’ own
32 Notes to Financial Statements
assumptions based on the best information available. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, non-U.S. equity securities actively traded in certain foreign markets generally are reflected in Level 2 despite the availability of closing prices, because the Funds evaluate and determine whether those closing prices reflect fair value at the close of the NYSE or require adjustment, as described above. The following table summarizes the Funds’ investments, based on the inputs used to determine their values on March 31, 2010:

There were no Level 3 securities held in any of the Funds at March 31, 2010.
Foreign Currency Translation
The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated daily into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange. Income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions. Purchases and sales of securities are translated into U.S. dollars at the contractual currency exchange rates established at the time of each trade.
The Funds do 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. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments and foreign currency translations arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, resulting from changes in the exchange rates and changes in market prices of securities held.
Derivatives
Each Fund may use derivatives for various purposes. The Funds’ use of derivatives for the period ended March 31, 2010 was limited to forward
34 Notes to Financial Statements
foreign currency contracts. Following is a summary of how these derivatives are treated in the financial statements and their impact on the Funds:

Information about derivative instruments reflected as of the date of this report is generally indicative of the type and volume of derivative activity for the period ended March 31, 2010.
The Funds value derivatives at fair value, as described below, and recognize changes in fair value currently in the results of operations. Accordingly, the Funds do not follow hedge accounting even for derivatives employed as economic hedges.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
The Funds may enter into short-term forward foreign currency contracts. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between contracting parties to exchange an amount of currency at some future time at an agreed upon rate. The Funds use forward foreign currency contracts to manage foreign currency exposure with respect to transactional hedging, positional hedging, cross hedging and proxy hedging.
These contracts involve market risk and do not eliminate fluctuations in the prices of portfolio securities or prevent losses if the prices of those securities decline. The Funds could be exposed to risk if the value of the
Notes to Financial Statements 35
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
currency changes unfavorably. Additionally, the Funds could be exposed to counterparty risk if the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the contracts.
These contracts are marked-to-market daily. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent disposition of foreign currencies, and the difference between the amount recorded at the time of the transaction and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. Any realized gain or loss incurred by the Funds due to foreign currency translation is included on the Statement of Operations. At March 31, 2010, the Funds did not have any outstanding forward foreign currency contracts.
Securities Lending
Under procedures adopted by the Board, the Funds may lend securities to non-affiliated qualified parties. The Funds seek to earn additional income through securities lending. There is the risk of delay in recovering a loaned security. The Funds do not have the right to vote on securities while they are on loan; however, the Funds may attempt to call back the loan and vote the proxy.
All loans will be continuously secured by collateral which consists of cash. The cash collateral invested is disclosed on the Schedule of Investments. The lending fees received and the Funds’ portion of the interest income earned on cash collateral are included on the Statement of Operations, if applicable.
The Funds did participate in securities lending throughout the period. However, as of March 31, 2010, the Funds did not have any securities on loan.
Income Taxes
The Funds intend to qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and, accordingly, the Funds will generally not be subject to federal and state income taxes, or federal excise taxes to the extent that they intend to make sufficient distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains.
Dividends paid by the Funds from net investment income and distributions of net realized short-term gains are, for federal income tax purposes, taxable as ordinary income to shareholders.
Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Funds on the ex-dividend/distribution date. The Funds distribute net realized capital
36 Notes to Financial Statements
gains, if any, to shareholders at least annually, if not offset by capital loss carryovers. The Funds may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes and designate earnings and profits, including net realized gains distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares, as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. 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.
Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements.
The Funds file U.S. tax returns. While the statute of limitations remains open to examine the Funds’ U.S. tax returns filed for the past four years, no examinations are in progress or anticipated at this time. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
In addition to the requirements of the United States of America’s Internal Revenue Code of 1986, the Funds may be subject to short-term capital gains tax in India on gains realized upon disposition of Indian securities held less than one year. The tax is computed on net realized gains; any realized losses in excess of gains may be carried forward for a period of up to eight years to offset future gains. Any net taxes payable must be remitted to the Indian government prior to repatriation of sales proceeds. The Funds that invest in Indian securities may accrue a deferred tax liability for net unrealized short-term gains in excess of available carryforwards on Indian securities. Any accrual will reduce a Fund’s NAV.
Investment Income
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Funds are informed of the dividend if such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the life of the respective securities.
Notes to Financial Statements 37
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
Investment Transactions
Security transactions are accounted for no later than one business day after the trade date. However, for financial reporting purposes, security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Allocation of Income and Expenses
Each class of a Fund’s shares bears expenses incurred specifically on its behalf and, in addition, each class bears a portion of general expenses, based upon relative net assets of each class. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a specific Fund in the Trust are apportioned between all Funds in the Trust based upon relative net assets. In calculating the net asset value per share of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses other than class-specific expenses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets.
Below are the class level expenses not disclosed on the Statement of Operations:

Some of the distribution amounts received by IDI, discussed in the Distribution Fees section above, have been used to offset various shareholder servicing costs incurred by ICON. For the period ended March 31, 2010, this amount was $3,296.
4. Borrowings
The Trust has entered into Lines of Credit agreements with State Street to provide temporary funding for redemption requests. The maximum borrowing is limited to $150 million. Interest on domestic borrowings is charged at the higher of the Federal Funds Rate effective on that day and the Overnight LIBOR Rate effective on that day plus 1.25%. The average interest rate charged for the period ended March 31, 2010, was 1.42%.

6. Federal Income Tax
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from accounting principles that are generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are due to differing treatments for items such as net short-term gains, deferrals of wash sale losses, foreign currency transactions, net investment losses, and capital loss carryforwards.
The tax components of capital shown in the following tables represent losses or deductions the Funds may be able to offset against income and gains recognized in future years and post October loss deferrals. The accumulated losses noted represent net capital loss carryforwards as of September 30, 2009 that may be available to offset future realized capital gains and thereby reduce future taxable income distributions.
For the year ended September 30, 2009 the following Funds had capital loss carryforwards:
| | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Amounts | | | Expires | |
| |
ICON Asia-Pacific Region Fund | | $ | 24,705,829 | | | | 2017 | |
ICON Europe Fund | | | 28,735,751 | | | | 2017 | |
ICON International Equity Fund | | | 65,091,860 | | | | 2017 | |
Future capital loss carryforward utilization in any given year may be limited if there are substantial shareholder redemptions or contributions. During the year ended September 30, 2009, the Funds did not utilize any available capital loss carryforwards.

Notes to Financial Statements 43
Six Month Hypothetical Expense Example
March 31, 2010 (unaudited)
Example
As a shareholder of a Fund you may pay two types of fees: transaction fees and fund-related fees. Certain funds charge transaction fees, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees. Funds also incur various ongoing expenses, including management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses, which are indirectly paid by shareholders.
This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the various ICON Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the six-month period (10/1/09-3/31/10).
Actual Expenses
The first line in the table for each Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. The Example includes, but is not limited to, management fees, 12b-1 fees, fund accounting, custody and transfer agent fees. However, the Example does not include client specific fees, such as the $10 fee charged to IRA accounts, or the $15 fee charged for wire redemptions. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for each Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line in the table for each Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption
fees, or exchange fees that may be charged by other funds. Therefore, this information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Historical Returns
All total returns mentioned in this Report account for the change in a Fund’s per-share price and the reinvestment of any dividends, capital gain distributions and adjustments for financial statement purposes. If your account is set up to receive Fund distributions in cash rather than to reinvest them, your actual return may differ from these figures. The Funds’ performance results do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. Fund results shown, unless otherwise indicated, are at net asset value.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance results represent past performance, and current performance may be higher or lower. Please call 1-800-764-0442 or visit www.iconfunds.com for performance results current to the most recent month-end.
Portfolio Data
This Report reflects ICON’s portfolio holdings as of March 31, 2010, the end of the reporting period. The information is not a complete analysis of every aspect of any sector, industry, security or the Funds.
According to ICON, value investing is an analytical, quantitative approach to investing that employs various factors, including projecting earnings growth estimates, in an effort to determine whether securities are over- or underpriced relative to ICON’s estimates of their intrinsic value. Value investing involves risks and uncertainties and does not guarantee better performance or lower costs than other investment methodologies. ICON’s value-to-price ratio is a ratio of intrinsic value, as calculated using ICON’s proprietary valuation methodology, of a broad range of domestic and international securities within ICON’s system as compared to the current market price of those securities. The ICON system relies on the integrity of financial statements released to the market as part of our analysis.
There are risks associated with mutual fund investing, including the loss of principal. The likelihood of loss may be greater if you invest for a shorter period of time. There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful results.
An investment concentrated in sectors and industries may involve greater risk and volatility than a more diversified investment, and the Technology sector has been among the most volatile in the market. Investments in
foreign securities may entail unique risks, including political, market, and currency risks. Financial statements of foreign companies are governed by different accounting, auditing, and financial standards than U.S. companies and may be less transparent and uniform than in the United States. Many corporate governance standards, which help ensure the integrity of public information in the United States, do not exist in foreign countries. In general, there may be less governmental supervision of foreign stock exchanges and securities brokers and issuers.
The prospectus and statement of additional information contain this and other information about the Funds and are available by visiting www.iconfunds.com or calling 1-800-764-0442. Please read the prospectus and statement of additional information carefully.

1. Organization
The ICON Consumer Discretionary Fund, ICON Energy Fund, ICON Financial Fund, ICON Healthcare Fund, ICON Industrials Fund, ICON Information Technology Fund, ICON Leisure and Consumer Staples Fund, ICON Materials Fund, and ICON Telecommunication & Utilities Fund are series funds (individually a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Funds are part of the ICON Funds (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end investment management company. There are currently eight other active Funds within the Trust. Those Funds are covered by separate prospectuses and shareholder reports.
Each Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of no par shares. The Funds invest primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific sectors and industries. The investment objective of each Fund is to provide long-term capital appreciation.
The Funds may have elements of risk, including the risk of loss of principal. There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful results. An investment in a non-diversified sector fund may involve greater risk and volatility than a more diversified fund. Investments in foreign securities and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of U.S. dollar-denominated transactions as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of lower government supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets and the possibility of political or economic instability. Financial statements of foreign companies are governed by different accounting, auditing, and financial standards than U.S. companies and may be less transparent and uniform than in the United States. Many corporate governance standards, which help ensure the integrity of public information in the United States, may not exist in some foreign countries. In general, there may be less governmental supervision of foreign stock exchanges and securities brokers and issuers. There are also risks associated with small-and mid-cap investing, including limited product lines, less liquidity and small market share.
In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into various agreements that provide for general indemnifications. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as any potential exposure involving future claims that may be made against each Fund is unknown. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be minimal.

2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of 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 requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Investment Valuation
The Funds’ securities and other assets are valued at the closing price at the close of the regular trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) (normally 4 p.m. Eastern Standard Time) each day the NYSE is open, except that securities traded primarily on the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) are normally valued by the Funds at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price provided by NASDAQ each business day.
The Funds use pricing services to obtain the market value of securities in their portfolios; if a pricing service is not able to provide a price, or the pricing service’s valuation quote is considered inaccurate or does not reflect the market value of the security, prices may be obtained through market quotations from independent broker/dealers. If market quotations from these sources are not readily available, the Funds’ securities or other assets are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (“Board”) or pursuant to procedures approved by the Board.
Lacking any sales that day, a security is valued at the current closing bid price (or yield equivalent thereof) or based on quotes obtained from dealers making a market for the security. Options are valued at their closing mid-price on the market with the most volume. Mid-price is the average of the closing bid and closing ask prices. Debt securities with a remaining maturity of greater than 60 days are valued in accordance with the evaluated bid price supplied by the pricing service. The evaluated bid price supplied by the pricing service is based upon a matrix valuation system which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities and ratings. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market value. Currency rates as of the close of the NYSE are used to convert foreign security values into U.S. dollars.
Notes to Financial Statements 37
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
The Funds’ securities traded in countries outside of the Western Hemisphere are fair valued daily by utilizing the quotations of an independent pricing service, unless the Board determines that use of another valuation methodology is appropriate. The purposes of daily fair valuation are to avoid stale prices and to take into account, among other things, any significant events occurring after the close of foreign markets. The pricing service uses statistical analyses and quantitative models to adjust local market prices using factors such as subsequent movements and changes in the prices of indexes, securities and exchange rates in other markets to determine fair value as of the time a Fund calculates its net asset value (“NAV”). The valuation assigned to fair-value securities for purposes of calculating a Fund’s NAV may differ from the security’s most recent closing market price and from the prices used by other mutual funds to calculate their NAVs.
Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.
Various inputs are used to determine the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 — significant observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk).
Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs.
Observable inputs are those based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Funds, and unobservable inputs reflect the Funds’ own assumptions based on the best information available. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, non-U.S. equity securities actively traded in certain foreign markets generally are reflected in Level 2 despite the availability of closing prices, because the Funds evaluate and determine whether those closing prices reflect fair value at the close of the NYSE or require adjustment, as described above. The following table summarizes the

There were no Level 3 securities held in any of the Funds at March 31, 2010.
Foreign Currency Translation
The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated daily into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange. Income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions. Purchases and sales of securities are translated into U.S. dollars at the contractual currency exchange rates established at the time of each trade.
The Funds do 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. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments and foreign currency translations arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, resulting from changes in the exchange rates and changes in market prices of securities held.
Derivatives
Each Fund may use derivatives for various purposes. The Funds’ use of derivatives for the period ended March 31, 2010 was limited to purchased call options. Following is a summary of how these derivatives are treated in the financial statements and their impact on the Funds:

Information about derivative instruments reflected as of the date of this report is generally indicative of the type and volume of derivative activity for the period ended March 31, 2010.
The Funds value derivatives at fair value, as described below, and recognize changes in fair value currently in the results of operations. Accordingly, the Funds do not follow hedge accounting, even for derivatives employed as economic hedges.
Options Transactions
Each Fund may purchase and/or write (sell) call and put options on any security in which it may invest. The Funds utilize options to hedge against changes in market conditions and to provide market exposure while trying to reduce transaction costs.
Option contracts involve market risk and can be highly volatile. Should prices of securities or securities indexes move in an unexpected manner, the Funds may not achieve the desired benefits and may realize losses and thus be in a worse position than if such strategies had not been utilized.
When a Fund writes a put or call option, an amount equal to the premium received is included on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires on its stipulated
Notes to Financial Statements 41
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
expiration date or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a written call option on an individual security is exercised, a gain or loss is realized for the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a written call option on a securities index is exercised, a gain or loss is realized as determined by the premium originally received, the exercise price and the market value of the index. If a written put option on an individual security is exercised, the cost of the security acquired is decreased by the premium originally received. As a writer of an option, a Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the individual security or securities index underlying the written option. Additionally, written call options may involve the risk of limited gains, lack of liquidity for the option and lack of liquidity for the security or securities index.
Each Fund may also purchase put and call options. When a Fund purchases a put or call option, an amount equal to the premium paid is included on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment, and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires on the stipulated expiration date or if the Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If the Fund exercises a call option on an individual security, the cost of the security acquired is increased by the premium paid for the call. If the Fund exercises a put option on an individual security, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such a sale are decreased by the premium originally paid. If the Fund exercises a put or a call option on a security index, a gain or loss is realized as determined by the premium originally paid or received, the exercise price and the market value of the index. Written and purchased options are non-income producing securities.
As of March 31, 2010, no Funds engaged in any written options transactions. As previously disclosed, the Financial and Energy Fund engaged in purchased call options during the period. All open options contracts are included on the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Securities Lending
Under procedures adopted by the Board, the Funds may lend securities to non-affiliated qualified parties. The Funds seek to earn additional income through securities lending. There is the risk of delay in recovering a loaned security. The Funds do not have the right to vote on securities while they
42 Notes to Financial Statements
are on loan; however, the Funds may attempt to call back the loan and vote the proxy.
All loans will be continuously secured by collateral which consists of cash. The cash collateral invested, if any, is disclosed on the Schedule of Investments. The lending fees received and the Funds’ portion of the interest income earned on cash collateral are included on the Statement of Operations, if applicable.
The Funds did participate in securities lending throughout the period. However, as of March 31, 2010, the Funds did not have any securities on loan.
Income Taxes
The Funds intend to qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and, accordingly, the Funds will generally not be subject to federal and state income taxes or federal excise taxes to the extent that they intend to make sufficient distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains.
Dividends paid by the Funds from net investment income and distributions of net realized short-term gains are, for federal income tax purposes, taxable as ordinary income to shareholders.
Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Funds on the ex-dividend/distribution date. The Funds distribute net realized capital gains, if any, to shareholders at least annually, if not offset by capital loss carryovers. The Funds may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes and designate earnings and profits, including net realized gains distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares, as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. 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.
Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements.
The Funds file U.S. tax returns. While the statute of limitations remains open to examine the Funds’ U.S. tax returns filed for the past four years, no examinations are in progress or anticipated at this time. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total
Notes to Financial Statements 43
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Investment Income
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Funds are informed of the dividend if such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the life of the respective securities.
Investment Transactions
Security transactions are accounted for no later than one business day after the trade date. However, for financial reporting purposes, security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Allocation of Expenses
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a specific Fund in the Trust are apportioned among all Funds in the Trust based upon relative net assets.
3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

4. Borrowings
The Funds have entered into Lines of Credit agreements with BBH to provide temporary funding for redemption requests. At BBH, the maximum borrowing is limited to the lesser of $50 million or 25% of the net asset value in the Fund subject to a maximum borrowing limit by the Trust of $150 million.

6. Federal Income Tax
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from accounting principles that are generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are due to differing treatments for items such as net short-term gains, deferrals of wash sale losses, foreign currency transactions, net investment losses, and capital loss carryforwards.
The tax components of capital shown in the following tables represent losses or deductions the Funds may be able to offset against income and gains recognized in future years and post October loss deferrals. The accumulated losses noted represent net capital loss carryforwards as of September 30, 2009 that may be available to offset future realized capital gains and thereby reduce future taxable income distributions.

Six Month Hypothetical Expense Example
March 31, 2010 (unaudited)
Example
As a shareholder of a Fund you may pay two types of fees: transaction fees and fund-related fees. Certain funds charge transaction fees, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees. Funds also incur various ongoing expenses, including management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses, which are indirectly paid by shareholders.
This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the various ICON Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the six-month period (10/1/09-3/31/10).
Actual Expenses
The first line in the table for each Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. The Example includes, but is not limited to, management fees, 12b-1 fees, fund accounting, custody and transfer agent fees. However, the Example does not include client specific fees, such as the $10 fee charged to IRA accounts, or the $15 fee charged for wire redemptions. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for each Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line in the table for each Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your
ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees that may be charged by other funds. Therefore, this information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
