TABLEOF CONTENTS
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, 2013, the end of the reporting period. The information is not a complete analysis of every aspect of any sector, industry, security or the Funds.
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.
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 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.
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. 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 ICON system relies on the integrity of financial statements released to the market as part of our analysis.
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 website for more information.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2013 (UNAUDITED)
1. Organization
The ICON Bond Fund (“Bond Fund”), ICON Equity Income Fund (“Equity Income Fund”), ICON Fund (“ICON Fund”), ICON Long/Short Fund (“Long/Short Fund”) and ICON Risk-Managed Balanced Fund (“Risk-Managed Balanced Fund”) (formerly, ICON Risk-Managed 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. Each Fund has three classes of shares: Class S, Class C and Class A. 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 thirteen 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 Equity Income Fund is modest capital appreciation and income. The investment objective of the ICON Fund is long-term capital appreciation with a secondary objective of capital preservation. The investment objective of the Long/Short Fund is capital appreciation. The investment objective of the Risk-Managed Balanced 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
| | |
38 | | NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
Balanced 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.
The ICON Fund and ICON Long/Short Fund have significant weightings in the Consumer Discretionary sector which may cause each Fund’s performance to be susceptible to the economic, business and/or other developments that may affect that sector. The ICON Bond Fund has a significant weighting in Aaa rated bonds which may cause the Fund’s performance to be susceptible to the economic, business and/or other developments that may affect bonds rated as such.
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 commercially remote.
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, excluding options on securities indexes, are valued as of the closing price at the close of regular trading on 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. Options on securities indexes are valued at the close of the Chicago Board Options Exchange (normally 4:15 p.m. Eastern Standard Time) on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading.
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 using 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 debt 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
| | |
40 | | NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
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 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, 2013:

There were no Level 3 securities held in any of the Funds at March 31, 2013.
For the period ended March 31, 2013, there was no transfer activity between Level 1 and Level 2. The end of period timing recognition is used for the transfers between levels of the Fund’s assets and liabilities.
Fund Share Valuation
Fund shares are sold and redeemed on a continual basis at net asset value. Net asset value per share is determined daily as of the close of trading on the NYSE on each day the NYSE is open for trading by dividing the total value of the Fund’s investments and other assets, less liabilities, by the number of Fund shares outstanding.
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.
Options Transactions
The Funds’ use of derivatives for the period ended March 31, 2013 was limited to purchased and written options.
The Risk-Managed Balanced 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 or to provide market exposure while trying to reduce transaction costs.
| | | | |
NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | | | 43 | |
NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
Option contracts involve market risk and liquidity 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, 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.
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, the exercise price and the market value of the index. Written and purchased options are non-income producing securities.
As of March 31, 2013, the Equity Income Fund engaged in purchased call option transactions and the Risk-Managed Balanced Fund engaged in written call and purchased put options transactions. All open option contracts are included on each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

The Funds value derivatives at fair value, as described above, 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.
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 in management’s opinion.
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 Fund 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 closed out by purchasing the applicable securities for delivery to the Fund’s prime broker. As of March 31, 2013, 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.
Securities Lending
Under procedures adopted by the Board, the Funds may lend securities to certain approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions to earn additional income. The Funds retain certain benefits of owning the securities, including receipt of dividends or interest generated by the security, but gives up other rights including the right to vote proxies. The Funds also receive income for the loan. The Funds retain the ability to recall the loans at any time and could do so in order to vote proxies or to sell the loaned securities. Each loan is collateralized by cash that generally exceeds the value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities
| | | | |
NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | | | 47 | |
NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
is determined daily at the close of business of the Funds and any additional required collateral is delivered to each Fund on the next business day.
Generally, in the event of borrower default, the Funds have the right to use the collateral to offset any losses incurred. In the event the Funds are delayed or prevented from exercising their rights to dispose of the collateral, there may be a potential loss to the Funds. Some of these losses may be indemnified by the lending agent.
The Funds have elected to invest the cash collateral in the State Street Navigator Prime Portfolio. The Funds bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. The net securities lending income earned by the Funds as of March 31, 2013, is included in the Statement of Operations.
As of March 31, 2013, the following Funds had securities with the following values on loan:
| | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Value of Loaned Securities | | | Value of Collateral | |
ICON Bond Fund | | $ | 2,208,670 | | | $ | 2,304,225 | |
ICON Equity Income Fund | | | 1,820,816 | | | | 1,857,529 | |

ICON Risk-Managed Balanced Fund | | | 425,080 | | | | 428,901 | |
The value of the collateral above could include collateral held for securities that were sold on or before March 31, 2013. It may also include collateral received from the pre-funding of loans.
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
| | |
48 | | NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
Risk-Managed Balanced Fund intend to distribute net investment income, if any, to shareholders quarterly. The 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 carryforwards. 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 periods 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 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 that are included on the Statement of Operations:

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.
For the year ended September 30, 2012 the following Funds had capital loss carryforwards:
| | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Amounts | | | Expires | |
ICON Equity Income Fund | | $ | 8,322,631 | | | | 2017 | |

ICON Risk-Managed Balanced Fund | | | 5,302,678 | | | | 2017 | |
| | | 14,212,596 | | | | 2018 | |
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, 2012 the Funds utilized capital loss carryforwards:
| | | | |
Fund | | Amount | |
ICON Equity Income Fund | | $ | 1,094,148 | |

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was signed into law on December 22, 2010. The Act makes changes to a number of tax rules impacting the Funds. Under the Act, future capital losses generated by a fund may be carried over indefinitely, but these losses must be used prior to the utilization of any pre-enactment capital losses. Since pre-enactment capital losses may only be carried forward for eight years, there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of each fund’s pre-enactment capital losses will expire unused.

SIX MONTH HYPOTHETICAL EXPENSE EXAMPLE
MARCH 31, 2013 (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 (10/1/12-3/31/13).
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 $15 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.

Cost Basis Information
Effective January 1, 2012, federal law requires mutual fund companies to maintain and report a shareholder’s cost basis by tax lot, gain/loss information and holding period of covered shares to the Internal Revenue Service on Form 1099. Covered shares are mutual fund shares acquired on or after January 1, 2012. A fund is not required to maintain and report information for shares not deemed as covered.
The new law requires each fund to elect a default tax identification methodology in order to perform the required reporting. As a result, the Trust has chosen Average Cost as its default tax identification methodology. This is the method each Fund will use. However, at the time of purchase or upon the sale of covered shares, shareholders may choose a different tax identification method. Furthermore, if you purchase shares through a financial intermediary, please contact the intermediary to find out what default tax identification method they will use. We recommend that you consult your tax adviser to determine which tax identification methodology best suits your individual tax situation.

TABLEOF CONTENTS
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, 2013, the end of the reporting period. The information is not a complete analysis of every aspect of any sector, industry, security or the Funds.
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.
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 ICON system relies on the integrity of financial statements released to the market as part of our analysis.
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 website for more information.

NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2013 (UNAUDITED)
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. Each Fund has three classes of shares: Class S, Class C and Class A. 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 fifteen 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 mid-cap investing, including limited product lines, less liquidity, and small market share.
| | |
28 | | NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
The Europe Fund has a significant weighting in France which may cause the Fund’s performance to be susceptible to the economic, business and/or other developments that may affect that country and/or 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 commercially remote.
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, excluding options on securities indexes, are valued as of the closing price at the close of regular trading on 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. Options on securities indexes are valued at the close of the Chicago Board Options Exchange (normally 4:15 p.m. Eastern Standard Time) on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading.
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
| | | | |
NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | | | 29 | |
NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
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 using 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 debt 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.
| | |
30 | | NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
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 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, 2013:

Fund Share Valuation
Fund shares are sold and redeemed on a continual basis at net asset value. Net asset value per share is determined daily as of the close of trading on the NYSE on each day the NYSE is open for trading by dividing the total value of the Fund’s investments and other assets, less liabilities, by the number of Fund shares outstanding.

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.
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 may 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 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, 2013, the Asia-Pacific Region Fund, Europe Fund and International Equity Fund had no outstanding forward foreign currency contracts.

The number of contracts open during the period ended March 31, 2013 for the Europe Fund and International Equity Fund were 4 and 4, respectively.
The Funds value derivatives at fair value, as described above, 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.
Securities Lending
Under procedures adopted by the Board, the Funds may lend securities to certain approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions to earn additional income. The Funds retain certain benefits of owning the securities, including receipt of dividends or interest generated by the security, but gives up other rights including the right to vote proxies. The Funds also receive income for the loan. The Funds retain the ability to recall the loans at any time and could do so in order to vote proxies or to sell the loaned securities. Each loan is collateralized by cash that generally exceeds
| | | | |
NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | | | 35 | |
NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
the value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined daily at the close of business of the Funds and any additional required collateral is delivered to each Fund on the next business day.
Generally, in the event of borrower default, the Funds have the right to use the collateral to offset any losses incurred. In the event the Funds are delayed or prevented from exercising their rights to dispose of the collateral, there may be a potential loss to the Funds. Some of these losses may be indemnified by the lending agent.
The Funds have elected to invest the cash collateral in the State Street Navigator Prime Portfolio. The Funds bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. The net securities lending income earned by the Funds as of March 31, 2013, is included in the Statement of Operations.
As of March 31, 2013, the following Funds had securities with the following values on loan:
| | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Value of Loaned Securities | | | Value of Collateral | |
ICON Asia-Pacific Region Fund | | $ | 6,527,671 | | | $ | 6,990,293 | |
ICON Europe Fund | | | 1,133,776 | | | | 1,185,306 | |
ICON International Equity Fund | | | 3,377,260 | | | | 3,489,967 | |
The value of the collateral above could include collateral held for securities that were sold on or before March 31, 2013. It may also include collateral received from the pre-funding of loans.
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 income and net realized capital gains, if any, to shareholders at least annually, if not offset by capital loss carryforward. The Funds may utilize equalization accounting for
| | |
36 | | NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
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.
Certain foreign countries impose a capital gains tax which is accrued by the Funds based on the unrealized appreciation, if any, on affected securities. Any accrual would reduce a Fund’s NAV. The tax is paid when the gain is realized.
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
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 that are included on the Statement of Operations:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

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.
For the year ended September 30, 2012 the following Funds had capital loss carryforwards:
| | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Amounts | | | Expires | |
ICON Asia-Pacific Region Fund | | $ | 9,482,596 | | | | 2017 | |

Fund | | Amount | |
ICON Asia-Pacific Region Fund | | $ | 1,236,735 | |
ICON Europe Fund | | | - | |
ICON International Equity Fund | | | - | |
The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was signed into law on December 22, 2010. The Act makes changes to a number of tax rules impacting the Funds. Under the Act, future capital losses generated by a fund may be carried over indefinitely, but these losses must be used prior to the utilization of any pre-enactment capital losses. Since pre-enactment capital losses may only be carried forward for eight years, there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of each fund’s pre-enactment capital losses will expire unused.

SIX MONTH HYPOTHETICAL EXPENSE EXAMPLE
MARCH 31, 2013 (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 (10/1/12 – 3/31/13).
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 $15 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.

Total returns exclude applicable sales charges. If sales charges were included (maximum 5.75%), returns would be lower.

Cost Basis Information
Effective January 1, 2012, federal law requires mutual fund companies to maintain and report a shareholder’s cost basis by tax lot, gain/loss information and holding period of covered shares to the Internal Revenue Service on Form 1099. Covered shares are mutual fund shares acquired on or after January 1, 2012. A fund is not required to maintain and report information for shares not deemed as covered.
The new law requires each fund to elect a default tax identification methodology in order to perform the required reporting. As a result, the Trust has chosen Average Cost as its default tax identification methodology. This is the method each Fund will use. However, at the time of purchase or upon the sale of covered shares, shareholders may choose a different tax identification method. Furthermore, if you purchase shares through a financial intermediary, please contact the intermediary to find out what default tax identification method they will use. We recommend that you consult your tax adviser to determine which tax identification methodology best suits your individual tax situation.

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 Fund’s 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 Fund. If not for these reimbursements, performance would have been lower. 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, 2013, the end of the reporting period. The information is not a complete analysis of every aspect of any sector, industry, security or the Fund.
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.
Securities of small companies generally involve greater risks than investments in larger companies. Small companies may have limited management experience or depth, limited access to capital, or limited products or services, or operate in markets that have not yet been established. Small company securities tend to be more volatile and less liquid than equity securities of larger companies. This risk of small company investing may be compounded in that this Fund concentrates in sectors and industries which makes it less diverse than other investments, and may make it more volatility. The Fund may invest up to 25% of the Fund’s total assets in a single industry. The fact that the Fund may overweight a specific industry or industries may cause the Fund’s performance to be more susceptible to the economic, business or other developments that affect those industries or sectors.
The Fund may also invest in foreign securities which 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 and self-regulatory 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. Should there be a breakdown on the integrity of the financial statements or the markets in which these companies trade, the Funds could experience substantial losses.
The prospectus and statement of additional information contain this and other information about the Fund and are available by visiting www.iconfunds.com or calling 1-800-764-0442. Please read the prospectus and statement of additional information carefully.

NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2013 (UNAUDITED)
1. Organization
ICON Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) is 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 seventeen other active Funds within the Trust. Those Funds are covered by separate prospectuses and shareholder reports.
The Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of no par shares. The Fund invests primarily in securities of small companies that ICON’s methodology suggests are underpriced or overpriced relative to our calculation of intrinsic value. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide capital appreciation.
The Fund 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 fund may involve greater risk and volatility than a more diversified fund. Securities of small companies generally involve greater risks than investments in larger companies. Small company securities tend to be more volatile and less liquid than equity securities of larger companies. The Fund may invest up to 25% of the Fund’s total assets in a single industry. The fact that the Fund may overweight a specific industry or industries may cause the Fund’s performance to be more susceptible to the economic, business or other developments that affect those industries or sectors. 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 Fund may enter into various agreements that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as any potential exposure involving future claims that may be made against the Fund is unknown. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be commercially remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make 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 Fund’s securities and other assets, excluding options on securities indexes, are valued as of the closing price at the close of regular trading on 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 Fund at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price provided by NASDAQ each business day. Options on securities indexes are valued at the close of the Chicago Board Options Exchange (normally 4:15 p.m. Eastern Standard Time) on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading.
| | |
12 | | NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
The Fund uses pricing services to obtain the market value of securities in its portfolio; 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 Fund’s securities or other assets are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund’s 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 using 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 debt 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 Fund’s 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 the Fund calculates its net asset value (“NAV”). The valuation assigned to fair-value securities for purposes of calculating the 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 Fund’s 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 Fund, and unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s 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 foreign markets generally are reflected in Level 2 despite the availability of closing prices, because the Fund evaluates 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 Fund’s investments, based on the inputs used to determine their values on March 31, 2013:

There were no Level 3 securities held in the Fund at March 31, 2013.
For the period ended March 31, 2013, there was no transfer activity between Level 1 and Level 2. The end of period timing recognition is used for the transfers between levels of the Fund’s assets and liabilities.
Fund Share Valuation
Fund shares are sold and redeemed on a continual basis at net asset value. Net asset value per share is determined daily as of the close of trading on the NYSE on each day the NYSE is open for trading by dividing the total value of the Fund’s investments and other assets, less liabilities, by the number of Fund shares outstanding.
Foreign Currency Translation
The accounting records of the Fund 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 Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. 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.
Income Taxes
The Fund intends to qualify as regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and, accordingly, the Fund will generally not be subject to federal and state income taxes or federal excise taxes to the extent that it intends to make sufficient distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains.
Dividends paid by the Fund 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 Fund on the ex-dividend/distribution date. The Fund distributes income and net realized capital gains, if any, to shareholders at least annually, if not offset by capital loss carryforward. The Fund may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes and designate earnings and profits, including net realized gains distributed to shareholders on redemption of
| | |
14 | | NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
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 Fund’s tax position taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax periods and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements.
The Fund files U.S. tax returns. While the statute of limitations remains open to examine the Fund’s U.S. tax returns filed for the past four years, no examinations are in progress or anticipated at this time. The Fund is 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 Fund is 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.
3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Investment Advisory Fees
ICON Advisers, Inc. (“ICON Advisers”) serves as investment adviser to the Fund and is responsible for managing the Fund’s portfolios of securities. ICON Advisers receives a monthly management fee that is computed daily at an annual rate of 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
ICON Advisers has contractually agreed to limit the Fund’s expenses (exclusive of brokerage, interest, taxes, dividends on short sales and extraordinary expenses) to the extent necessary to ensure that the Fund’s operating expenses do not exceed 1.50%.
The Fund’s expense limitation will continue in effect until at least January 31, 2014. To the extent ICON Advisers reimburses or absorbs fees and expenses, it may seek payment of such amounts for up to three years after the expenses were reimbursed or absorbed. The Fund will make no such payment, however, if the total Fund operating expenses exceed the expense limits in effect at the time the expenses were reimbursed or at the time these payments are proposed.
As of March 31, 2013 the following amounts were still available for recoupment by ICON Advisers based upon their potential expiration dates:

Accounting, Custody and Transfer Agent Fees
State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) serves as the Fund accounting agent. For its services, the Trust pays State Street a fee that is calculated daily and paid monthly at an annual rate based on the aggregate average daily net assets of the Trust.
State Street is the custodian of the Trust’s investments. For its services, the Trust pays State Street asset-based fees that vary according to the number of positions and transactions, plus out-of-pocket expenses.
Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (“BFDS”) is the Trust’s transfer agent. For these services, the Trust pays a per account fee, plus certain other transaction cusip charges and out-of-pocket expenses. BFDS may pay each Fund transfer agent earnings credits. Transfer agent earnings credits are credits received for interest which results from overnight balances used by BFDS for clearing shareholder transactions.
Administrative Services
The Trust has entered into an administrative services agreement with ICON Advisers pursuant to which ICON Advisers oversees the administration of the Trust’s business and affairs. This agreement provides for an annual fee of 0.05% on the Trusts’ first $1.5 billion of average daily net assets, 0.045% on the next $1.5 billion of average daily net assets, 0.040% on the next $2 billion of average daily net assets and 0.030% on average daily net assets over $5 billion. For the period ended March 31, 2013, the Fund’s payment for administrative services to ICON Advisers is included on the Statement of Operations. The administrative services agreement provides that ICON Advisers will not be liable for any error of judgment, mistake of law, or any loss suffered by the Trust in connection with matters to which the administrative services agreement relates, except for a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence by ICON Advisers in the performance of its duties.
ICON Advisers has a sub-administration agreement with State Street to which State Street assists ICON Advisers with the administration and business affairs of the Trust. For its services, ICON Advisers pays State Street a fee that is calculated daily and paid monthly at an annual rate based on the aggregate average daily net assets of the Trust.
Other Related Parties
Certain Officers and Directors of ICON Advisers are also Officers and Trustees of the Fund; however, such Officers and Trustees (with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer, “CCO”) receive no compensation from the Fund. The CCO’s salary is paid 86% by the Trust and 14% by ICON Advisers. For the period ended March 31, 2013, the total related amounts paid by the Fund under this arrangement are included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.
The Fund may reimburse ICON Advisers for legal work performed for the Fund by its attorneys outside of the advisory and administration contracts. The Board of Trustees reviews and approves such reimbursements. For the period ended March 31, 2013, the total related amounts paid by the Fund under this arrangement are included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.
4. Borrowings
The Trust has entered into a Line of Credit agreement with State Street to provide temporary funding for redemption requests. The maximum borrowing is limited to $150 million. Effective, March 25, 2013, interest on domestic borrowings is charged at a rate quoted and determined by State Street. Prior to March 25, 2013, the Fund was not party to the line of credit agreement.
The Fund did not borrow during the period ending March 31, 2013.

5. Purchases and Sales of Investment Securities
For the period ended March 31, 2013, the aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investment securities (excluding short-term securities) was as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Purchases of Securities | | | Proceeds From Sales of Securities | |
ICON Opportunities Fund | | $ | 369,635 | | | $ | 63,026 | |
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.
As of March 31, 2013, cost on investments for federal income tax purposes and the amount of net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Cost | | | Unrealized Appreciation | | | Unrealized (Depreciation) | | | Net Appreciation/ (Depreciation) | |

SIX MONTH HYPOTHETICAL EXPENSE EXAMPLE
MARCH 31, 2013 (UNAUDITED)
Example
As a shareholder of the 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. The Fund also incurs various ongoing expenses, including management fees, 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 Fund 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 (10/1/12 – 3/31/13).
Actual Expenses
The first line in the table for the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. The Example includes, but is not limited to, management fees, fund accounting, custody and transfer agent fees. However, the Example does not include client specific fees, such as the $15 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 the 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 the 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.

Actual Expenses | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

ICON Opportunities Fund | | | 1,000 | | | | 1,017.25 | | | | 7.75 | | | | | |
* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s six month expense ratio annualized, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/365 to reflect the one-half year period. |
Total returns exclude applicable sales charges. If sales charges were included (maximum 5.75%), returns would be lower.

Cost Basis Information
Effective January 1, 2012, federal law requires mutual fund companies to maintain and report a shareholder’s cost basis by tax lot, gain/loss information and holding period of covered shares to the Internal Revenue Service on Form 1099. Covered shares are mutual fund shares acquired on or after January 1, 2012. A fund is not required to maintain and report information for shares not deemed as covered.
The new law requires each fund to elect a default tax identification methodology in order to perform the required reporting. As a result, the Trust has chosen Average Cost as its default tax identification methodology. This is the method the Fund will use. However, at the time of purchase or upon the sale of covered shares, shareholders may choose a different tax identification method. Furthermore, if you purchase shares through a financial intermediary, please contact the intermediary to find out what default tax identification method they will use. We recommend that you consult your tax adviser to determine which tax identification methodology best suits your individual tax situation.

TABLEOF CONTENTS
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, 2013, the end of the reporting period. The information is not a complete analysis of every aspect of any sector, industry, security or the Funds.
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. 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 ICON system relies on the integrity of financial statements released to the market as part of our analysis.
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 website for more information.

NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2013 (UNAUDITED)
1. Organization
The ICON Consumer Discretionary Fund, ICON Consumer Staples Fund, ICON Energy Fund, ICON Financial Fund, ICON Healthcare Fund, ICON Industrials Fund, ICON Information Technology Fund, ICON Materials Fund, and ICON 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 non-diversified investment management company. Each Fund has three classes of shares: Class S, Class C and Class A. 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 nine 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.
| | |
52 | | NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
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 commercially remote.
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, excluding options on securities indexes, are valued as of the closing price at the close of regular trading on 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. Options on securities indexes are valued at the close of the Chicago Board Options Exchange (normally 4:15 p.m. Eastern Standard Time) on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading.
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
| | | | |
NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | | | 53 | |
NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
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 using 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 debt 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 assumptions based on the best information available. The input levels are
| | |
54 | | NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
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 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, 2013:

There were no Level 3 securities held in any of the Funds at March 31, 2013.
For the period ended March 31, 2013, there was no transfer activity between Level 1 and Level 2. The end of period timing recognition is used for the transfers between levels of the Fund’s assets and liabilities.
Fund Share Valuation
Fund shares are sold and redeemed on a continual basis at net asset value. Net asset value per share is determined daily as of the close of trading on the NYSE on each day the NYSE is open for trading by dividing the total value of the Fund’s investments and other assets, less liabilities, by the number of Fund shares outstanding.
| | |
56 | | NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
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.
Securities Lending
Under procedures adopted by the Board, the Funds may lend securities to certain approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions to earn additional income. The Funds retain certain benefits of owning the securities, including receipt of dividends or interest generated by the security, but gives up other rights including the right to vote proxies. The Funds also receive income for the loan. The Funds retain the ability to recall the loans at any time and could do so in order to vote proxies or to sell the loaned securities. Each loan is collateralized by cash that generally exceeds the value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined daily at the close of business of the Funds and any additional required collateral is delivered to each Fund on the next business day.
Generally, in the event of borrower default, the Funds have the right to use the collateral to offset any losses incurred. In the event the Funds are delayed or prevented from exercising their rights to dispose of the collateral, there may be a potential loss to the Funds. Some of these losses may be indemnified by the lending agent.
The Funds have elected to invest the cash collateral in the State Street Navigator Prime Portfolio. The Funds bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. The net securities lending income earned by the Funds as of March 31, 2013, is included in the Statement of Operations.

NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
As of March 31, 2013, the following Funds had securities with the following values on loan:
| | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Value of Loaned Securities | | | Value of Collateral | |
ICON Consumer Discretionary Fund | | $ | 2,776,884 | | | $ | 2,873,133 | |

ICON Healthcare Fund | | | 6,287,012 | | | | 6,436,309 | |
ICON Information Technology Fund | | | 867,551 | | | | 881,585 | |
The value of the collateral above could include collateral held for securities that were sold on or before March 31, 2013. It may also include collateral received from the pre-funding of loans.
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 income and net realized capital gains, if any, to shareholders at least annually, if not offset by capital loss carryforward. 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 periods 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
| | |
58 | | NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
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 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 that are included on the Statement of Operations:

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.
For the year ended September 30, 2012 the following Funds had capital loss carryforwards:

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was signed into law on December 22, 2010. The Act makes changes to a number of tax rules impacting the Funds. Under the Act, future capital losses generated by a fund may be carried over indefinitely, but these losses must be used prior to the utilization of any pre-enactment capital losses. Since pre-enactment capital losses may only be carried forward for eight years, there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of each fund’s pre-enactment capital losses will expire unused.

SIX MONTH HYPOTHETICAL EXPENSE EXAMPLE
MARCH 31, 2013 (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 (10/1/12 – 3/31/13).
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 $15 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.

Cost Basis Information
Effective January 1, 2012, federal law requires mutual fund companies to maintain and report a shareholder’s cost basis by tax lot, gain/loss information and holding period of covered shares to the Internal Revenue Service on Form 1099. Covered shares are mutual fund shares acquired on or after January 1, 2012. A fund is not required to maintain and report information for shares not deemed as covered.
The new law requires each fund to elect a default tax identification methodology in order to perform the required reporting. As a result, the Trust has chosen Average Cost as its default tax identification methodology. This is the method each Fund will use. However, at the time of purchase or upon the sale of covered shares, shareholders may choose a different tax identification method. Furthermore, if you purchase shares through a financial intermediary, please contact the intermediary to find out what default tax identification method they will use. We recommend that you consult your tax adviser to determine which tax identification methodology best suits your individual tax situation.
