Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
SUMMARY OF RESULTS
For the twelve-month period ending 06/30/2026, the Abraham Fortress Fund had positive performance of 26.80% in FORTX, outpacing the 17.55% return of our 70/30 [1] benchmark. Fund assets ended the fiscal year at approximately $101.0 million, compared to approximately $75.3 million at the start of the period.
The fiscal year was defined by a broad recovery and sustained rally across global risk assets. Global equity markets climbed through the second half of 2025 and accelerated in early 2026, with the MSCI ACWI returning approximately 23% for the twelve-month period. The Fund participated in the rally while maintaining its diversified posture. The most notable portfolio adjustments during the year concerned our Gold position, which is included in the Diversifying Strategies. The Fund maintained approximately 15% notional Gold exposure through the metal's powerful rally in the first half of the fiscal year, then reduced exposure to approximately 5% in late January 2026 – within days of gold's peak – and fully exited the position by fiscal year-end as the unusual investor preference for gold over US treasuries subsided. Equity exposure ended the fiscal year at approximately 54%, comfortably within our 40-60% target range.
The Fund allocated approximately 62% of its long Equity position to US individual stocks and the remaining 38% to Europe, Australasia, and the Far East (EAFE) futures contracts to give us exposure to non-US equities. Both sleeves contributed strongly. Fixed Income consisted of US Treasury Notes with maturities ranging from 2033 to 2035 and an average duration of approximately 8 years. Diversifying Strategies included eight external funds that generally invest in global futures markets. We continue to access these funds through a total return swap agreement with Deutsche Bank, and the Fund's swap position is collateralized with US Treasury Bills. Unlike the prior fiscal year, the Fund held no Gold exposure at fiscal year-end.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
Contributor #1 – The Fund's long Equity position was the largest contributor for the fiscal year, benefiting from the sustained global equity rally. The S&P 500 rose approximately 21% during this period. The MSCI EAFE index rose approximately 20%.
Contributor #2 – The Fund's Gold position was once again a strong contributor, driven this year as much by risk management as by the metal's price. Gold futures rallied over 60% from the start of the fiscal year to their late-January peak on 01/29/2026, and the Fund maintained meaningful exposure through the rally, holding 14.89% of assets in Gold futures as of 01/27/2026. The portfolio managers then reduced exposure on that date to 5%. Gold futures peaked at $5,354.80 per ounce on 1/29/26. The metal subsequently declined approximately 13% to $4,652.60 by 02/02/2026, so the reduction preserved the majority of the gains the position had generated. The Fund fully exited Gold by fiscal year-end. The Fund currently has no exposure to Gold futures, within the normal range of 0% to 15%.
Contributor #3 – Diversifying Strategies rebounded from the prior fiscal year's losses. The trend following and global macro strategies in our external funds found their footing as markets established sustained directionality. The sleeve contributed approximately +8.83% in the first half of calendar 2026 alone.
TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
Detractor - The Fund has lower stock exposure compared to our 70/30 benchmark. In a fiscal year when MSCI ACWI returned approximately 23%, our moderate equity allocation naturally reduced the degree to which we captured the rally, and our approximately 8-year duration Treasury exposure and diversifying allocations trailed stocks. This positioning is by design: with our lower equity exposure, we aim to moderate volatility and better manage risk in order to create a smoother return stream. Notably, the Fund still outperformed the 70/30 benchmark by more than 9 percentage points this fiscal year.
Today, the Fund's portfolio includes approximately:
-  54% Stock exposure, which is invested directly into US stocks (approximately 33% of Fund assets) or through EAFE stock index futures (approximately 21% notional) collateralized with T-bills
- 20% Fixed Income exposure, invested in US Treasury Notes maturing between 2033 and 2035, with an approximate 8-year duration
- 21% Diversifying Strategies invested in T-bills to collateralize our positions in either futures or the Deutsche Bank swap that gives us access to the external funds. The notional exposure in the Diversifying Strategies typically ranges between 50-70%. The Fund currently holds no Gold futures position, within the normal allocation range of 0% to 15%.
As a reminder, the Fund's portfolio includes some leverage, which is why the portfolio's total notional exposure is more than 100%. The portfolio's notional exposure is accessed through derivatives instruments, such as futures and swaps. The futures and swaps are collateralized with T-bills. Since T-bills are used to collateralize these other positions, our quarterly holdings report shows the majority of our cash invested in T-bills. It is important to note that the futures, swaps, and T-bills all work together to give the Fund exposure in various stock markets and diversifying strategies.

The Board of Trustees of the Registrant has determined that the Registrant has the following “audit committee financial experts” as defined in Item 3(b) of Form N-CSR serving on its Audit Committee: Messrs.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

 

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

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

(f) All of the principal accountant's hours spent on auditing the registrant's financial statements were attributed to work performed by full-time permanent employees of the principal accountant.

 

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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2026

 

 

Note 1 – Organization

Abraham Fortress Fund (the “Fund”) is organized as a series of Investment Managers Series Trust II, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”) which is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund is classified as a diversified Fund.

 

The Fund’s primary investment objective is to protect capital and achieve long-term capital appreciation. The Fund currently has two classes of shares, Class I and Class K. Class C shares have not yet commenced operations.

 

The Fund began reporting as a registered open-end management investment company on October 13, 2021 with a transfer of shares of the Fund in exchange for the net assets of the Predecessor Fund, a Delaware statutory limited partnership. This exchange was nontaxable, whereby the Fund issued 1,133,973 Class I shares and 3,457,642 Class K shares for the net assets of the Predecessor Fund on October 13, 2021. Net assets with a fair market value consisting of cash, interest receivable and securities and derivative instruments of the Predecessor Fund were the primary assets received by the Fund. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the Predecessor Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amount distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.

 

The inception date of the Predecessor Fund was July 26, 2018. From July 26, 2018 until October 12, 2021, the Predecessor Fund was regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“the CFTC”) and National Futures Association (“NFA”) as a Commodity Pool, and over that entire time period, Abraham Trading Company (the “Advisor”) was the registered Commodity Pool Operator of the Predecessor Fund. The Advisor has been continuously registered with the CFTC and NFA as a Commodity Trading Advisor and Commodity Pool Operator since 1990. Cohen & Company, Ltd. served as the auditor of the Predecessor Fund from July 31, 2018 through October 12, 2021. After the conversion of the Predecessor Fund to a 1940 Act open ended mutual fund on October 13, 2021, Cohen & Company, Ltd. has continued to serve as the auditor of the Fund. The Predecessor Fund was required to have audited financial statements, including the reporting of investments, filed annually with both the CFTC and NFA. UMB Fund Services (“UMBFS”) was the administrator of the Predecessor Fund prior to its conversion to the Fund, and currently UMBFS is the co-administrator of the Fund.

 

The shares of each class represent an interest in the same portfolio of investments of the Fund and have equal rights as to voting, redemptions, dividends and liquidation, subject to the approval of the Board of Trustees (“Trustees”). Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class) and realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares in proportion to their relative net assets.

 

The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies.

 

The Fund is deemed to be an individual reporting segment and is not part of a consolidated reporting entity. The objective and strategy of the Fund is used by the Advisor to make investment decisions, and the results of the operations, as shown on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and the Consolidated Financial Highlights for the Fund is the information utilized for the day-to-day management of the Fund. The Fund is party to the expense agreements as disclosed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and there are no resources allocated to the Fund based on performance measurements. The management of the Fund’s Advisor is deemed to be the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) with respect to the Fund's investment decisions.

(a) Consolidation of Subsidiary

The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in its subsidiary, Abraham Fortress Fund Ltd., a wholly-owned and controlled subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”) formed under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The Consolidated Schedule of Investments, Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities, Consolidated Statement of Operations, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Net Assets and Consolidated Financial Highlights of the Fund include the accounts of the Subsidiary. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation for the Fund. The Subsidiary is advised by Abraham Trading Company and acts as an investment vehicle in order to effect certain investments consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies specified in the Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information. The Subsidiary will generally invest in derivatives, including swaps, commodity interests and other investments intended to serve as margin or collateral for derivative positions. The inception date of the Subsidiary was October 13, 2021. As of June 30, 2026, total assets of the Fund were $103,745,191, of which $21,354,337, or 20.58%, represented the Fund’s ownership of the shares of the Subsidiary.

 

Note 2 – Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the 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 (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operating during the reporting period. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date reported in the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the period.

 

(a) Valuation of Investments

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

 

Financial derivative instruments, such as forward currency contracts, futures contracts, options contracts or swap agreements, derive their value from underlying asset prices, indices, reference rates and other inputs or a combination of these factors. These contracts are normally valued on the basis of broker- dealer quotations or a pricing service at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. Depending on the product and the terms of the transaction, the value of the derivative contracts can be estimated by a pricing service provider using a series of techniques, including simulation pricing models. The pricing models use inputs that are observed from actively quoted markets such as issuer details, indices, spreads, interest rates, curves, dividends and exchange rates. Forward currency contracts represent the purchase or sale of a specific quantity of a foreign currency at the current or spot price, with delivery and settlement at a specified future date. Forward currency contracts are presented at fair value using spot currency rates and are adjusted for the time value of money (forward points) and contractual prices of the underlying financial instruments.

Forward currency contracts are generally categorized in Level 2. Futures contracts are carried at fair value using the primary exchange’s closing (settlement) price and are generally categorized in Level 1.

 

Options contracts are carried at fair value using the primary exchange's closing (settlement) price and are generally categorized as Level 1. In the absence of a closing price, options contracts will be valued at the last bid or the mean between the last available bid and ask price, and categorized in Level 2.

 

The Fund’s total return swap contract tracks the performance of various underlying investment managers trading programs through a Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch proprietary index. The fair value of the total return swap contract is valued on each index business day as set out in the index description utilizing market data as of 4:15 pm London time and trade data as of 5:00 pm London time.

 

Please refer to Note 8 for more information on valuation.

 

(b) Foreign Currency Translation

The Fund’s records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. The currencies are translated into U.S. dollars by using the exchange rates quoted at the close of the London Stock Exchange prior to when the Fund’s NAV is next determined. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions.

 

The Fund does not isolate that portion of its net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from the impact arising from changes in market prices. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

 

Net realized foreign currency transaction gains and losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the differences between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rates.

 

(c) Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

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

(d) Futures Contracts

The Fund may use interest rate, foreign currency, index, commodity, and other futures contracts. The Fund may use options on futures contracts. A futures contract provides for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified quantity of the security or other financial instrument at a specified price and time. The Fund may invest in futures contracts and options on futures contracts through the Subsidiary. For example, a foreign currency futures contract provides for the future sale by one party and the purchase by the other party of a certain amount of a specified non-U.S. currency at a specified price, date, time and place. Similarly, an interest rate futures contract provides for the future sale by one party and the purchase by the other party of a certain amount of a specific interest rate sensitive financial instrument (e.g., a debt security) at a specified price, date, time and place. Securities, commodities and other financial indexes are capitalization weighted indexes that reflect the market value of the securities, commodities or other financial instruments respectively, represented in the indexes. A futures contract on an index is an agreement to be settled by delivery of an amount of cash equal to a specified multiplier times the difference between the value of the index at the close of the last trading day on the contract and the price at which the agreement is made. The clearing house of the exchange on which a futures contract is entered into becomes the counterparty to each purchaser and seller of the futures contract.

 

During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contracts at the end of each day’s trading. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transactions and the Fund’s basis in the contract. Cash equal to the proceeds is settled in the broker account when the contracts are closed. The Fund also is required to deposit and to maintain margin with respect to put and call options on futures contracts written by it. Such margin deposits will vary depending on the nature of the underlying futures contract (and the related initial margin requirements), the current market value of the option and other futures positions held by the Fund. Although some futures contracts call for making or taking delivery of the underlying assets, generally these obligations are closed out prior to delivery by offsetting purchases or sales of matching futures contracts (involving the same exchange, underlying security or index and delivery month). If an offsetting purchase price is less than the original sale price, the Fund realizes a capital gain, or if it is more, the Fund realizes a capital loss. Conversely, if an offsetting sale price is more than the original purchase price, the Fund realizes a capital gain, or if it is less, the Fund realizes a capital loss. The transaction costs also must be included in these calculations. As discussed below, however, the Fund may not always be able to make an offsetting purchase or sale. In the case of a physically settled futures contract, this could result in the Fund being required to deliver, or receive, the underlying physical commodity, which could be adverse to the Fund. The Subsidiary may enter into agreements with certain parties which may lower margin deposits and mitigate some of the risks of being required to deliver, or receive, the physical commodity.

 

At any time prior to the expiration of a futures contract, the Fund may seek to close the position by seeking to take an opposite position, which would terminate the Fund’s existing position in the contract. Positions in futures contracts and options on futures contracts may be closed out only on the exchange on which they were entered into (or through a linked exchange). No secondary market for such contracts exists. Although the Fund may enter into futures contracts only if there is an active market for such contracts, there is no assurance that an active market will exist at any particular time. Most futures exchanges limit the amount of fluctuation permitted in futures contract prices during a single trading day. Once the daily limit has been reached in a particular contract, no trades may be made that day at a price beyond that limit or trading may be suspended for specified periods during the day. It is possible that futures contract prices could move to the daily limit for several consecutive trading days with little or no trading, thereby preventing prompt liquidation of futures positions at an advantageous price and subjecting the Fund to substantial losses. In such event, and in the event of adverse price movements, the Fund would be required to make daily cash payments of variation margin. In such situations, if the Fund had insufficient cash, it might have to sell assets to meet daily variation margin requirements at a time when it would be disadvantageous to do so. In addition, if the transaction is entered into for hedging purposes, in such circumstances the Fund may realize a loss on a futures contract or option that is not offset by an increase in the value of the hedged position. Losses incurred in futures transactions and the costs of these transactions will affect the Fund’s performance.

Exposure to the commodities markets (including financial futures markets) through investments in futures may subject the Fund to greater volatility than cash market investments in securities. Prices of commodities and related contracts may fluctuate significantly and unpredictably over short periods for a variety of reasons, including changes in interest rates, overall market movements, supply and demand relationships and balances of payments and trade; weather and natural disasters; and governmental, agricultural, trade, fiscal, monetary and exchange control programs and policies. The commodity markets are subject to temporary distortions and other disruptions. U.S. futures exchanges and some foreign exchanges have regulations that limit the amount of fluctuation in futures contract prices which may occur during a single business day and the size of contract positions taken. Limit prices have the effect of precluding trading in a particular contract or forcing the liquidation of contracts at disadvantageous times or prices.

 

(e) Swap Transactions

The Fund may enter into interest rate, currency and index swaps and the purchase or sale of related caps, floors and collars. The Fund may enter into these transactions to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or portion of its portfolio, to protect against currency fluctuations or to protect against any increase in the price of securities it anticipates purchasing at a later date. Swaps may be used in conjunction with other instruments to offset interest rate, currency or other underlying risks. For example, interest rate swaps may be offset with “caps,” “floors” or “collars”. A “cap” is essentially a call option which places a limit on the amount of floating rate interest that must be paid on a certain principal amount. A “floor” is essentially a put option which places a limit on the minimum amount that would be paid on a certain principal amount. A “collar” is essentially a combination of a long cap and a short floor where the limits are set at different levels. The Subsidiary’s total return swap contract tracks the performance of various underlying investment managers trading programs through a Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch proprietary index. The fair value of the total return swap contract is valued on each index business day as set out in the index description utilizing market data as of 4:15 pm London time and trade data as of 5:00 pm London time.

 

The Fund will usually enter into swaps on a net basis; that is, the two payment streams will be netted out in a cash settlement on the payment date or dates specified in the instrument, with the Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. To the extent obligations created thereby may be deemed to constitute senior securities, the Fund will maintain required collateral in a segregated account consisting of U.S. government securities or cash or cash equivalents.

 

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

(f) Short Sales

The Fund may seek to hedge investments or realize additional gains through the use of short sales. Short sales are transactions under which the Fund sells a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the value of that security. To complete such a transaction, the Fund must borrow the security to make delivery to the buyer. The Fund then is obligated to replace the security borrowed by purchasing the security at market price at the time of replacement. The price at such time may be more or less than the price at which the security was sold by the Fund. When a security is sold short a decrease in the value of the security will be recognized as a gain and an increase in the value of the security will be recognized as a loss, which is potentially limitless. Until the security is replaced, the Fund is required to pay the lender amounts equal to dividend or interest that accrue during the period of the loan which is recorded as an expense. To borrow the security, the Fund also may be required to pay a premium or an interest fee, which are recorded as interest expense. Cash or securities are segregated for the broker to meet the necessary margin requirements. The Fund is subject to the risk that it may not always be able to close out a short position at a particular time or at an acceptable price.

 

(g) Investment Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses

Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded net of applicable withholding taxes on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if applicable, are paid (a portion of which may be reclaimable) or provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates and are disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Withholding tax reclaims are filed in certain countries to recover a portion of the amounts previously withheld. The Fund records a reclaim receivable based on a number of factors, including a jurisdiction’s legal obligation to pay reclaims as well as payment history and market convention. Discounts or premiums on debt securities are accreted or amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Income and expenses of the Fund are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class of shares relative net assets, except for distribution and service fees and certain transfer agent fees and expenses discussed below, which are unique to each class of shares. Expenses incurred by the Trust with respect to more than one fund are allocated in proportion to the net assets of each fund except where allocation of direct expenses to each fund or an alternative allocation method can be more appropriately made.

 

The Fund may invest in real estate investments trusts ("REITs"). REITs are pooled investment vehicles that invest primarily in income producing real estate or real estate related loans or interests. REITs are generally classified as equity REITs, mortgage REITs, or a combination of equity and mortgage REITs. Equity REITs invest the majority of their assets directly in real property and derive income primarily from the collection of rents. Equity REITs can also realize capital gains by selling properties that have appreciated in value. Mortgage REITs invest the majority of their assets in real estate mortgages and derive income from the collection of principal and interest payments. Similar to regulated investment companies such as the Fund, REITs are not taxed on income distributed to shareholders provided they comply with certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of expenses incurred by REITs in which the Fund invests in addition to the expenses incurred directly by the Fund.

In conjunction with the use of futures contracts and swap contracts, the Fund may be required to maintain collateral in various forms. At June 30, 2026, such collateral is denoted in the Fund’s Consolidated Schedule of Investments and Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Also in conjunction with the use of futures contracts and swap contracts, the Fund, when appropriate, may utilize a segregated margin deposit account with the counterparty. At June 30, 2026, these segregated margin deposit accounts are denoted in the Fund’s Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

 

(h) Federal Income Taxes

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

 

ASC 740 Income Taxes, (“ASC 740”) requires an evaluation of tax positions taken (or expected to be taken) in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether these positions meet a “more-likely-than-not” standard that, based on the technical merits, have a more than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained by a taxing authority upon examination. A tax position that meets the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

ASC 740 requires management of the Fund to analyze tax positions taken in the prior three open tax years, if any, and tax positions expected to be taken in the Fund’s current tax year, as defined by the IRS statute of limitations for all major jurisdictions, including federal tax authorities and certain state tax authorities. For the year ended June 30, 2026, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund has no examination in progress and is not aware of any tax positions for which they are reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

 

(i) Distributions to Shareholders

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

 

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

 

(j) Illiquid Securities

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

Note 3 – Investment Advisory and Other Agreements

The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Fund pays a monthly investment advisory fee to the Advisor at the annual rate of 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or pay for operating expenses of the Fund to ensure that total annual operating expenses (excluding any taxes, leverage interest, brokerage commissions, fees and costs associated with derivatives, dividend and interest expenses on short sales, all trading or investment related expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses (as determined in accordance with Form N-1A), expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization and extraordinary expenses such as litigation expenses) do not exceed 0.75% and 0.65% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class I and Class K shares, respectively. Annual operating expenses include shareholder servicing fees, which are a class-level expense (see Note 6). To the extent these fees are below their maximum for the fiscal year, Class I actual net expenses may be below the stated expense limit after waivers. This agreement is effective until October 31, 2035, and it may be terminated before that date by the Trust’s Board of Trustees on behalf of the Fund, upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to the Advisor. This agreement may also be terminated by the Advisor with respect to the Fund, effective at the end of its then current term, without payment of any penalty upon at least sixty (60) days’ written notice prior to expense limitation period of the Fund, subject to the consent of the Board of Trustees of the Trust, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. 

 

The Advisor is responsible for the Subsidiary’s day-to-day business pursuant to an advisory agreement with the Subsidiary. Under this agreement, the Advisor provides the Subsidiary with the same type of management services, under substantially the same terms, as are provided to the Fund. The Subsidiary advisory agreement provides for automatic termination upon the termination of the investment advisory agreement with respect to the Fund. The Advisor receives no compensation for the services it provides to the Subsidiary.

The Fund’s liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes in the invested fund(s) and remains a liability to the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The Trustees Deferred compensation liability under the Plan constitutes a general unsecured obligation of the Fund and is disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Contributions made under the plan and the change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation and income are included in the Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Note 7 – Indemnifications

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

 

Note 8 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure

FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. It also provides guidance on determining when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or a liability, when a transaction is not orderly, and how that information must be incorporated into a fair value measurement.

 

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

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.

 

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

 

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

 

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different Levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the Level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest Level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Note 10 - Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

FASB ASC Topic 210-20, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The guidance requires retrospective application for all comparative periods presented for the Fund.

 

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

 

The Fund’s Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities presents financial instruments on a net basis. Gross amounts of the financial instruments, amounts related to financial instruments/cash collateral not offset in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and net amounts are presented below:

* Amounts relate to master netting agreements and collateral agreements (for example, ISDA) which have been determined by the Advisor to be legally enforceable in the event of default and where certain other criteria are met in accordance with applicable offsetting accounting guidance.

 

** Amounts relate to master netting agreements and collateral agreements which have been determined by the Advisor to be legally enforceable in the event of default but where certain other criteria are not met in accordance with applicable offsetting accounting guidance. The collateral amounts may exceed the related net amounts of financial assets and liabilities presented in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Where this is the case, the total amount reported is limited to the net amounts of financial assets and liabilities with that counterparty.

Note 11 – Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risks

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

 

Note 12- New Accounting Pronouncements

In the reporting period, the Fund adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) -- Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which enhances income tax disclosures, including disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. Adoption of the new standard did not materially impact financial statement disclosures and did not affect the Fund's financial position or the results of its operations.

 

Note 13 – Events Subsequent to the Fiscal Period End

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

 

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

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Shareholders of Abraham Fortress Fund and

Board of Trustees of Investment Managers Series Trust II

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, of Abraham Fortress Fund (the “Fund”), a series of Investment Managers Series Trust II, as of June 30, 2026, the related consolidated statement of operations for the year then ended, the consolidated statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the consolidated financial highlights for the years ended June 30, 2026, 2025, 2024, and 2023, and for the period from October 13, 2021 (beginning of reporting period) through June 30, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of June 30, 2026, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods noted above, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2026, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

We have served as the Fund’s auditor since 2021.
