The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The example reflects the Fund’s contractual fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement only for the term of the contractual fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be: <table cellpadding="0" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px;"> <tr style="vertical-align: bottom; background-color: #DCDDDE"> <td style="width: 40%; border-top: Black 1pt solid; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; border-left: Black 1pt solid; padding-bottom: 2.25pt"> </td> <td style="width: 15%; border-top: Black 1pt solid; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; text-align: center; text-indent: 0in">One Year</td> <td style="width: 15%; border-top: Black 1pt solid; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; text-align: center; text-indent: 0in">Three Years</td> <td style="width: 15%; border-top: Black 1pt solid; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; text-align: center; text-indent: 0in">Five Years</td> <td style="width: 15%; border-top: Black 1pt solid; border-right: Black 1pt solid; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; text-align: center; text-indent: 0in">Ten Years</td></tr> <tr> <td style="vertical-align: top; border-left: Black 1pt solid; padding-left: 3pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0in">Class A Shares</td> <td style="vertical-align: bottom; text-align: center; text-indent: 0in">$631</td> <td style="vertical-align: bottom; text-align: center; text-indent: 0in">$917</td> <td style="vertical-align: bottom; text-align: center; text-indent: 0in">$1,224</td> <td style="vertical-align: bottom; border-right: Black 1pt solid; text-align: center; text-indent: 0in">$2,092</td></tr> <tr> <td style="vertical-align: top; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; border-left: Black 1pt solid; padding-left: 3pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0in">Class I Shares</td> <td style="vertical-align: bottom; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; text-align: center; text-indent: 0in">$87</td> <td style="vertical-align: bottom; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; text-align: center; text-indent: 0in">$336</td> <td style="vertical-align: bottom; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; text-align: center; text-indent: 0in">$604</td> <td style="vertical-align: bottom; border-right: Black 1pt solid; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; text-align: center; text-indent: 0in">$1,371</td></tr> </table> 631 917 1224 2092 87 336 604 1371 497 N-1A 0000924727 false 2025-10-31 2026-02-28 INVESTMENT MANAGERS SERIES TRUST III Purchases of Class A shares of $1 million or more may be subject to a 1.00% deferred sales charge on redemptions within 12 months of purchase. The Fund’s advisor has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or pay for operating expenses of the Fund to ensure that total annual fund operating expenses (excluding any taxes, leverage interest, brokerage commissions, dividend and interest expenses on short sales, acquired fund fees and expenses (as determined in accordance with SEC Form N-1A), professional fees related to services for the collection of foreign tax reclaims, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, and extraordinary expenses such as litigation expenses) do not exceed 1.10% and 0.85% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares and Class I shares, respectively, of the Fund. This agreement is in effect through February 28, 2027, and it may be terminated before that date only by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The Fund’s advisor is permitted to seek reimbursement from the Fund, subject to certain limitations, of fees waived or payments made by the advisor to the Fund for a period ending three years after the date of the waiver or payment. Such reimbursement may be requested from the Fund if the reimbursement will not cause the Fund’s annual expense ratio to exceed the lesser of (a) the expense limitation in effect at the time such fees were waived or payments made, or (b) the expense limitation in effect at the time of the reimbursement. Reimbursements of fees waived or payments made will be made on a “first in, first out” basis so that the oldest fees waived or payments are satisfied first. The expense information in the table has been restated to reflect the current management fees, effective August 21, 2026. The Fund invests in a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. “Other expenses” include expenses of both the Fund and the wholly-owned subsidiary.
