Investment objective | The Carillon Chartwell Short Duration High Yield Fund (“Short Duration High Yield Fund” or the “fund”) seeks income and long-term capital appreciation.

Fees and expenses of the fund | The tables that follow describe the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Short Duration High Yield Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below. You may qualify for sales discounts if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $25,000 in the Class A shares of the Carillon Family of Funds. More information about these and other discounts, including through specific financial intermediaries, is available from your financial professional, on page 138 of the fund’s Prospectus and on page 69 of the fund’s Statement of Additional Information.

(a) If you purchased $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares of a Carillon mutual fund that were not otherwise eligible for a sales charge waiver and sell the shares within 18 months from the date of purchase, you may pay up to a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) at the time of sale. If you sell Class C shares less than one year after purchase, you will pay a 1% CDSC at the time of sale.

(b) Other Expenses for the Class A, Class C and Class R-6 shares are estimated for the current fiscal year.

(c) Carillon Tower Advisers, Inc. (“Carillon”) has contractually agreed to waive its investment advisory fee and/or reimburse certain expenses of the fund to the extent that annual operating expenses of each class exceed a percentage of that class’ average daily net assets through April 30, 2025 as follows: Class A – 0.79%, Class C – 1.54%, Class I – 0.49% and Class R-6 –0.39%. This expense limitation excludes interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, costs relating to investments in other investment companies (acquired fund fees and expenses), dividend and interest expenses on short sales, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, and extraordinary expenses. The contractual fee waivers can be changed only with the approval of a majority of the fund’s Board of Trustees. Any reimbursement of fund expenses or reduction in Carillon’s investment advisory fees is subject to recoupment by the fund within the following two fiscal years, if overall expenses fall below the lesser of its then-current expense cap or the expense cap in effect at the time of the fee recoupment.

SUMMARY PROSPECTUS | 4.26. 2024

Expense example | This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same, except that the example reflects the fee waiver/expense reimbursement arrangement for each share class through April 30, 2025. Your costs would be the same whether you sold your shares or continued to hold them at the end of the period. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio turnover | The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 39% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal investment strategies | Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in high yield debt securities. High yield debt securities, also referred to as “junk” bonds, are securities rated below the Baa3 category by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s), or below BBB- by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of McGraw Hill Companies, Inc. (“S&P”) or Fitch Ratings Ltd. (“Fitch”), at the time of purchase or, if unrated, are determined to be of comparable credit quality by the fund’s subadviser. Under normal market conditions, the fund’s subadviser expects to primarily invest in debt securities rated BB, the higher quality tier of the overall high yield market, which the fund’s subadviser believes may offer an opportunity for more attractive yield premiums, with a lower probability of credit erosion relative to the high yield bond market as a whole. The subadviser considers a security to be rated BB if, at the time of purchase, it was assigned a rating of Ba1, Ba2, or Ba3 by Moody’s, or BB+, BB, or BB- by S&P or Fitch, or, if unrated, it was determined to be of comparable credit quality by the fund’s subadviser. The fund’s subadviser seeks to identify securities of companies with stable cash flows and proven and established business models in an effort to manage the amount of credit, interest rate, liquidity and other risks, presented by the fund’s investments in high yield securities.

The types of debt securities in which the fund primarily invests include, but will not be limited to, U.S. dollar denominated high yield corporate bonds and notes. The fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in U.S. dollar denominated securities of issuers based outside of the U.S. While the fund may invest in securities of any maturity, the fund will normally target an average portfolio effective duration, as estimated by the fund’s subadviser, of less than three years. Duration is a measure of the underlying portfolio’s price sensitivity to changes in prevailing interest rates. The longer a security’s duration, the more sensitive its price will be to changes in interest rates. For example, the approximate percentage decrease in the price of a security with a three-year duration would be 3% in response to a 1% increase in interest rates.

The subadviser also may purchase exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) designed to track fixed income securities indices to manage the fund’s cash holdings. ETFs are investment companies that invest in portfolios of securities, often designed to track particular market segments or indices, the shares of which are bought and sold on a securities exchange. The ETFs in which the fund invests may invest substantially all of their assets in high yield debt securities. Such ETFs are taken into account when determining how much of the fund’s net assets have been invested in high yield securities.

The fund may lend its securities to broker-dealers and other financial institutions to earn additional income.

Principal risks | The greatest risk of investing in the fund is that you could lose money. The values of most debt securities held by the fund may be affected by changing interest rates and by changes in the effective maturities and credit ratings of these securities. For example, the values of debt securities in the fund’s portfolio generally will decline when interest rates rise and increase when interest rates fall. As a result, the fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) may also increase and decrease. An investment in the fund is not a deposit with a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Investments in the fund are subject to the following primary risks. The most significant risks of investing in the fund as of the date of this Prospectus are listed first below, followed by the remaining risks in alphabetical order. Each risk summarized below is considered a “principal risk” of investing in the fund, regardless of the order in which it appears. Different risks may be more significant at different times depending on market conditions or other factors.

SUMMARY PROSPECTUS | 4.26. 2024

Recent market events risk includes risks arising from current and recent circumstances impacting markets. Both U.S. and international markets have experienced significant volatility in recent months and years. As a result of such volatility, investment returns may fluctuate significantly. Moreover, the risks discussed herein associated with an investment in the fund may be increased.

Although interest rates were unusually low in recent years in the U.S. and abroad, in 2022, the Federal Reserve and certain foreign central banks began to raise interest rates as part of their efforts to address rising inflation. It is difficult to accurately predict the pace at which interest rates might increase or start decreasing, the timing, frequency or magnitude of any such changes in interest rates, or when such changes might stop or reverse course. Additionally, various economic and political factors could cause the Federal Reserve or another foreign central bank to change their approach in the future and such actions may result in an economic slowdown in the U.S. and abroad. Unexpected changes in interest rates could lead to significant market volatility or reduce liquidity in certain sectors of the market.

Deteriorating economic fundamentals may, in turn, increase the risk of default or insolvency of particular issuers, negatively impact market value, cause credit spreads to widen, and reduce bank balance sheets. Any of these could cause an increase in market volatility, reduce liquidity across various markets or decrease confidence in the markets. Additionally, high public debt in the U.S. and other countries creates ongoing systemic and market risks and policymaking uncertainty.

In March 2023, the shutdown of certain financial institutions in the U.S. and questions regarding the viability of other financial institutions raised economic concerns over disruption in the U.S. and global banking systems. There can be no certainty that the actions taken by the U.S. or foreign governments will be effective in mitigating the effects of financial institution failures on the economy and restoring public confidence in the U.S. and global banking systems.

Some countries, including the U.S., have in recent years adopted more protectionist trade policies. Slowing global economic growth; risks associated with a trade agreement between the United Kingdom and the European Union; the risks associated with ongoing trade negotiations with China; and the possibility of changes to some international trade agreements; political or economic dysfunction within some nations, including major producers of oil; and dramatic changes in commodity and currency prices could have adverse effects that cannot be foreseen at the present time.

Tensions, war, or open conflict between nations, such as between Russia and Ukraine, in the Middle East or in eastern Asia could affect the economies of many nations, including the United States. The duration of ongoing hostilities in the Middle East and between Russia and Ukraine, and any sanctions and related events cannot be predicted. Those events present material uncertainty and risk with respect to markets globally and the performance of the fund and its investments or operations could be negatively impacted.

Regulators in the U.S. have proposed and recently adopted a number of changes to regulations involving the markets and issuers, some of which apply to the fund. The full effect of various newly-adopted regulations is not currently known. Additionally, it is not clear whether the proposed regulations will be adopted. However, due to the broad scope of the new and proposed regulations, certain changes could limit the fund’s ability to pursue its investment strategies or make certain investments, or may make it more costly for the fund to operate, which may impact performance.

Economists and others have expressed increasing concern about the potential effects of global climate change on property and security values. Certain issuers, industries and regions may be adversely affected by the impacts of climate change, including on the demand for and the development of goods and services and related production costs, and the impacts of legislation, regulation and international accords related to climate change, as well as any indirect consequences of regulation or business trends driven by climate change;

SUMMARY PROSPECTUS | 4.26. 2024

Performance | The fund is the successor to the Chartwell Short Duration High Yield Fund (“Predecessor Fund”) pursuant to a reorganization involving the fund and the Predecessor Fund that occurred on July 1, 2022. The Class I shares of the fund have adopted the performance history and financial statements of the Predecessor Fund. Prior to April 26, 2024, the Class I shares of the fund were designated as Class Chartwell shares. Prior to the date of the reorganization, the fund had no investment operations. Accordingly, the performance information, including information on fees and expenses and financial information provided in this prospectus for periods prior to the reorganization (the fund’s commencement of operations) is historical information for the Predecessor Fund. Given the above, unless specifically stated otherwise, subsequent references in this section to the fund should be read to include the Predecessor Fund, as well as the other predecessor funds described below.

Prior to this reorganization, the Predecessor Fund acquired the assets and liabilities of the Chartwell Short Duration High Yield Fund (the “IMST Predecessor Fund,” and together with the Predecessor Fund, the “Predecessor Funds”), a series of Investment Managers Series Trust, on July 17, 2017. As a result of the reorganization, the fund is the accounting successor of the Predecessor Funds. Performance results shown in the bar chart and the performance table below reflect the performance of the IMST Predecessor Fund for the period prior to July 17, 2017.

The bar chart that follows illustrates annual fund returns for the periods ended December 31. The table that follows compares the fund’s returns for various periods with those of its benchmark indices. This information is intended to give you some indication of the risk of investing in the fund by demonstrating how its returns have varied over time. The bar chart shows the fund’s Class I share performance from one year to another.

Performance information is not shown for the fund’s Class A, Class C and Class R-6 shares because those share classes had not commenced operations prior to the date of this prospectus. The fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the fund will perform in the future.

SUMMARY PROSPECTUS | 4.26. 2024

For the periods prior to the reorganization (the fund’s commencement of operations), the performance is the historical performance of the Predecessor Funds.

After-tax returns are calculated using the historically highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as a 401(k) plan or individual retirement account (“IRA”). The return after taxes on distributions and sale of fund shares may exceed the return before taxes due to an assumed tax benefit from any losses on a sale of fund shares at the end of the measurement period.

Investment Adviser | Carillon Tower Advisers, Inc. is the fund’s investment adviser.

Subadviser | Chartwell Investment Partners, LLC (“Chartwell”) serves as the subadviser to the fund.

Portfolio Managers | Andrew S. Toburen, CFA^®, John M. Hopkins, CFA^®, and Christine F. Williams have served as Portfolio Managers of the fund since its inception on July 1, 2022, and are jointly and primarily responsible for the day-to- day management of the fund. Mr. Toburen, Mr. Hopkins and Ms. Williams served as the portfolio managers for the Predecessor Funds from their inception on July 15, 2014 through June 2022.

For Class R-6 shares purchased through a participating retirement plan, the minimum initial purchase is set by the plan administrator.

Tax information | The dividends you receive from the fund will be taxed as ordinary income or net capital gain (i.e., the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss) unless you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an IRA, in which case you may be subject to federal income tax on withdrawals from the arrangement.

Payments to broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries | If you purchase shares of 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 create a conflict of interest by influencing 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.
