NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 2025 (Unaudited)
Note 1 – Organization
The Ambassador Fund is organized as a non-diversified series and The Diplomat Fund is organized as a diversified 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 Ambassador Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek current income and pursues its investment objective by investing primarily in "catastrophe" or "cat" bonds ("Cat Bonds"). The Ambassador Fund commenced investment operations on December 29, 2021. The Diplomat Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek total return and pursues its investment objective by investing primarily in debt securities of the U.S. Government and interest rate futures contracts related to debt securities (“Interest Rate Futures”). The Diplomat Fund commenced investment operations on September 13, 2022.
The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services — Investment Companies”.
Each Fund is deemed to be an individual reporting segment and is not part of a consolidated reporting entity. The objective and strategy of each Fund is used by the Advisor to make investment decisions, and the results of the operations, as shown on the Statements of Operations and the Financial Highlights for each Fund is the information utilized for the day-to-day management of the Funds. Each Fund is party to the expense agreements as disclosed in the Notes to the Financial Statements and there are no resources allocated to the Fund based on performance measurements. The Advisor is deemed to be the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) with respect to the Funds’ investment decisions.
Note 2 – Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds 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.
(a) Valuation of Investments
The Funds value investments in open-end investment companies 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 factors such 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 Funds might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale). The Board of Trustees has designated the Advisor as the Funds’ valuation designee (the “Valuation Designee”) to make all fair value determinations with respect to the Funds’ 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 Funds must utilize fair value pricing.
(b) 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. Discounts on debt securities are accreted or amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method.

Embassy Asset Management Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
April 30, 2025 (Unaudited)
Premiums for callable debt securities are amortized to the earliest call date, if the call price was less than the purchase price. If the call price was not at par and the security was not called, the security is amortized to the next call price and date. 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.
(c) Federal Income Taxes
The Funds intend to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their net investment income and any net realized gains to their 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 Funds.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (the “Income Tax Statement”) requires an evaluation of tax positions taken (or expected to be taken) in the course of preparing a 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 Statement of Operations.
The Income Tax Statement requires management of the Funds to analyze tax positions taken in the prior three open tax years, if any, and tax positions expected to be taken in the Funds’ current tax year, as defined by the IRS statute of limitations for all major jurisdictions, including federal tax authorities and certain state tax authorities. As of October 31, 2024, and during all open tax years, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds have no examinations in progress and 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.
(d) Distributions to Shareholders
The Diplomat Fund will make distributions of net investment income quarterly, and The Ambassador Fund will make distributions of net investment income monthly. The Funds will make distributions of 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.
(e) Illiquid Securities
Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Funds have adopted a Liquidity Risk Management Program (“LRMP”) that requires, among other things, that the Funds limit their 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 a 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 Funds’ written LRMP.

(f) Corporate Debt Securities
Corporate debt securities are fixed-income securities issued by businesses to finance their operations, although corporate debt instruments may also include bank loans to companies. Notes, bonds, bank loans, debentures and commercial paper are the most common types of corporate debt securities, with the primary difference being their maturities and secured or unsecured status. Commercial paper has the shortest term and is usually unsecured. The broad category of corporate debt securities includes debt issued by domestic or foreign companies of all kinds, including those with small-, mid- and large-capitalizations. Corporate debt may be rated investment grade or below investment grade and may carry variable or floating rates of interest.
Corporate debt securities carry credit risk, interest rate risk and prepayment risk. Credit risk is the risk that a fund could lose money if the issuer of a corporate debt security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due. Some corporate debt securities that are rated below investment grade are generally considered speculative because they present a greater risk of loss, including default, than higher quality debt securities. The credit risk of a particular issuer’s debt security may vary based on its priority for repayment.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of certain corporate debt securities will tend to fall when interest rates rise. In general, corporate debt securities with longer terms tend to fall more in value when interest rates rise than corporate debt securities with shorter terms. Prepayment risk occurs when issuers prepay fixed rate debt securities when interest rates fall, forcing the Fund to invest in securities with lower interest rates. Issuers of debt securities are also subject to the provisions of bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors that may restrict the ability of the issuer to pay, when due, the principal of and interest on its debt securities.
(g) Insurance-Linked Securities Risk
The principal risk of an investment in an insurance-linked security is that a triggering event(s) (e.g., (i) natural events, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, pandemics, fires and floods; or (ii) certain non-natural events resulting from human activity such as commercial and industrial accidents or business interruptions), will occur and a Fund will lose all or a significant portion of the principal it has invested in the security and the right to additional interest payments with respect to the security. For example, major natural disasters or commercial and industrial accidents can result in significant losses and investors in insurance-linked securities tied to such exposures may also experience substantial losses. If the likelihood and severity of natural and other large disasters increase, the risk of significant losses to reinsurers may increase. Typically, one significant triggering event (even in a major metropolitan area) will not result in financial failure to a reinsurer. However, a series of major triggering events could cause the failure of a reinsurer. Similarly, to the extent a Fund invests in insurance-linked securities for which a triggering event occurs, losses associated with such event will result in losses to the Fund and a series of major triggering events affecting a large portion of the insurance-linked securities held by the Fund will result in substantial losses to the Fund. A majority of The Ambassador Fund’s assets will typically be invested in insurance-linked securities tied to natural events and/or non-natural disasters and there is inherent uncertainty as to whether, when or where such events will occur. There is no way to accurately predict whether a triggering event will occur and, because of this uncertainty, insurance-linked securities carry a high degree of risk.
(h) Catastrophe Bonds
Catastrophe Bonds (“Cat Bonds”), a type of event-linked bond, carry significant uncertainties and major risk exposures to adverse conditions. If a trigger event occurs, as defined within the terms of a Cat Bond, a Fund may lose a portion or all of its investment in such security, including accrued interest and/or principal invested in such security. Because Cat Bonds cover “catastrophe” events that, if they occur, will result in significant losses, they carry a high degree of risk of loss and are considered “high yield” or “junk bonds.” The rating of a Cat Bond, if any, primarily reflects the rating agency’s calculated probability that a pre-defined trigger event will occur. Thus, lower-rated bonds have a greater likelihood of a triggering event occurring, resulting in potential loss to a Fund. A majority of The Ambassador Fund's assets will typically be invested in Cat Bonds.

(i) Futures Contracts
The Funds may enter into futures contracts (including contracts relating to foreign currencies, interest rates, commodities securities and other financial indexes and other commodities), and purchase and write (sell) related options traded on exchanges designated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) or, consistent with CFTC regulations, on foreign exchanges. The Diplomat Fund intends to invest primarily in positions on U.S. Treasury 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. A futures contract on an index is an agreement pursuant to which two parties agree to take or make delivery of an amount of cash equal to the difference between the value of the index at the close of the last trading day of the contract and the price at which the index contract originally was written. 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.
A futures contract held by a Fund is valued daily at the official settlement price on the exchange on which it is traded. Each day a futures contract is held, the Fund pays or receives cash, called “variation margin,” equal to the daily change in value of the futures contract. Variation margin does not represent borrowing or a loan by the Fund but is instead a settlement between the Fund and the broker of the amount one would owe the other if the futures contract expired. 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, a 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, a 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 Funds 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 Funds being required to deliver, or receive, the underlying physical commodity, which could be adverse to the Funds.
At any time prior to the expiration of a futures contract, a Fund may seek to close the position by seeking to take an opposite position, which would operate to 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 Funds 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.

(j) Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Funds 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 foreign currency translations. The Funds record realized gains or losses at the time the forward contract is settled. Counter parties to these forward contracts are major U.S. financial institutions.
Note 3 – Investment Advisory and Other Agreements
The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Embassy Asset Management LP (the “Advisor”). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Funds pay a monthly investment advisory fee to the Advisor based on each Fund’s average daily net assets. The annual rates are listed by Fund in the table below. The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or pay for operating expenses (excluding any Rule 12b-1 fees, shareholder servicing fees, interest on borrowings other than commitment fees associated with borrowing arrangements, expenses incurred with respect to the acquisition and disposition of portfolio securities and the execution of portfolio transactions, brokerage commissions, dividend and interest expenses on short sales, acquired fund fees and expenses (as determined in accordance with SEC Form N-1A), other expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, and extraordinary expenses such as litigation expenses) in order to limit total annual operating expenses of each Fund. Prior to October 31, 2022, commitment fees were excluded from the agreement. This agreement is effective until February 28, 2026 for the Funds, and it may be terminated before that date only by the Trust's Board of Trustees. The table below contains the annual investment advisory fees and expense cap by Fund.

The Ambassador Fund | 1.20% | 1.40% |
The Diplomat Fund | 0.90% | 1.00% |
† | Investment advisory fees and the total limit on annual operating expenses are calculated based on each Fund’s average daily net assets. |
For the six months ended April 30, 2025, the Advisor recovered expenses totaling $86,397 from The Ambassador Fund and waived its advisory fees and absorbed other expenses totaling $100,473 for The Diplomat Fund. The Advisor is permitted to seek reimbursement from the Funds, subject to certain limitations, of fees waived or payments made to the Funds for a period ending three years after the date of the waiver or payment. This reimbursement may be requested from the Funds if the reimbursement will not cause the Funds’ 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. The potential recoverable amounts are noted as “Commitments and contingencies” as reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Advisor may recapture all or a portion of this amount no later than October 31 of the years stated below:

Note 4 – Federal Income Taxes
At April 30, 2025, gross unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments, based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
The Ambassador Fund | The Diplomat Fund | |||||||
Cost of investments | $ | 498,345,799 | $ | 4,158,810 | ||||

To the extent that a fund may realize future net capital gains, those gains will be offset by any of its unused capital loss carryforward. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations.
Note 5 – Investment Transactions
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding in-kind transactions and short-term investments, for the six months ended April 30, 2025, were as follows:
Fund | Purchases | Sales | ||||||
The Ambassador Fund | $ | 298,148,119 | $ | 122,000,149 | ||||
The Diplomat Fund | - | 6,025,686 |
Note 6 – Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations, which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
Note 7 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures 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.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of April 30, 2025, in valuing the Funds’ assets carried at fair value:

Note 10 – Borrowings
The Ambassador Fund entered into a Committed Repurchase Agreement Facility (“CRAF”) with UMB Bank, N.A on March 21, 2022. The terms were updated on April 3, 2025, and are set quarterly to follow either a 30-day or 60-day term reverse repurchase offer amounting to the lesser of 10% of the Fund’s assets or a total CRAF amount between $30,000,000 and $50,000,000 inclusive. The Fund is charged interest of Federal Funds Target Range - Upper Bound (FDTR) (or the published target rate if the Federal Reserve should no longer present a range) plus 1.00 %. In addition to an annual non-refundable minimum commitment fee of $75,000, the Fund also pays an excess amount if the quarterly commitment fee is greater than $18,750. Such excess amount is calculated at 0.25% on the CRAF amount on the 30-day term, and at 0.35% on the 60-day term minus quarterly base commitment fee of $18,750. The Fund did not borrow from the CRAF during the six months ended April 30, 2025.
Note 11 – Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risks
Certain local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illnesses and/or other public health issues, financial institution instability or other events may 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, 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 – Control Ownership
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a Fund creates presumption of control of the Fund, under Section 2(a) 9 of the Act. As of April 30, 2025, beneficial ownership in excess of 25% is as follows:
Fund | Beneficial Owner | % of Outstanding Shares |
The Ambassador Fund | Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. | 53.07% |

Note 13 – New Accounting Pronouncements and Regulatory Updates
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”),” which enhances disclosure requirements about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”). ASU 2023-07, among other things, (i) requires a single segment public entity to provide all of the disclosures as required by Topic 280, (ii) requires a public entity to disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources and (iii) provides the ability for a public entity to elect more than one performance measure. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Management has evaluated the impact of applying ASU 2023-07, and the Fund has adopted the ASU during the reporting period. The adoption of the ASU does not have a material impact on the financial statements. Required disclosure is included in Note 1.
Note 14 – Events Subsequent to the Fiscal Period End
The Funds have 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 Funds’ related events and transactions that occurred through the date of issuance of the Funds’ financial statements. There were no events or transactions that occurred during this period that materially impacted the amounts or disclosures in the Funds’ financial statements.
