Historical Returns
 
All total returns mentioned in this Report account for the change in a Fund’s per-share price and the reinvestment of any dividends, capital gain distributions and adjustments for financial statement purposes. If your account is set up to receive Fund distributions in cash rather than to reinvest them, your actual return may differ from these figures. The Funds’ performance results do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. The Adviser may have reimbursed certain fees or expenses of some of the Funds. If not for these reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Fund results shown, unless otherwise indicated, are at net asset value. If a sales charge (maximum 5.75%) had been deducted, results would have been lower.
 
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance results represent past performance, and current performance may be higher or lower. Please call 1-800-764-0442 or visit www.iconfunds.com for performance results current to the most recent month-end.
 
Portfolio Data
 
This Report reflects ICON’s views, opinions and portfolio holdings as of September 30, 2010, the end of the reporting period. The information is not a complete analysis of every aspect of any sector, industry, security or the Funds.
 
Opinions and forecasts regarding industries, companies and/or themes, and portfolio composition and holdings are subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions, and should not be construed as a recommendation of any specific security, industry or sector. Each Fund’s holdings as of September 30, 2010 are included in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
 
While ICON’s quantitative investment methodology primarily considers company-specific factors beyond financial data, various company factors may impact a stock’s performance, and therefore, Fund performance. Investments in foreign securities may entail unique risks, including political, market, and currency risks. Financial statements of foreign companies are governed by different accounting, auditing, and financial standards than U.S. companies and may be less transparent and uniform than in the United States. Many corporate governance standards, which help ensure the integrity of public information in the United States, do not exist in foreign

countries. In general, there may be less governmental supervision of foreign stock exchanges and securities brokers and issuers. The ICON system relies on the integrity of financial statements released to the market as part of our analysis.
 
According to ICON, value investing is an analytical, quantitative approach to investing that employs various factors, including projecting earnings growth estimates, in an effort to determine whether securities are over- or underpriced relative to ICON’s estimates of their intrinsic value. Value investing involves risks and uncertainties and does not guarantee better performance or lower costs than other investment methodologies. ICON’s value-to-price ratio is a ratio of intrinsic value, as calculated using ICON’s proprietary valuation methodology, of a broad range of domestic and international securities within ICON’s system as compared to the current market price of those securities.
 
This Report contains statements regarding industry or sector themes, new market themes, investment outlook, relative strength, value-to-price ratios, and investment team expectations, beliefs, goals and the like that are based on current expectations, recent individual stock performance relative to current market prices, estimates of company values and other information supplied to the market by the companies we follow. Words such as “expects,” “suggests,” “anticipates,” “targets,” “goals,” “value,” “intrinsic value,” “indicates,” “believes,” “considers,” “estimates,” variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward looking statements, which are not statements of historical fact. Forward looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to assess. These risks and uncertainties are based on a number of important factors, including, among others: stock price fluctuations; the integrity and accuracy of historical and projected financial and other information supplied by companies to the public; interest rates; future earnings growth rates; the risks noted in this Report and other factors beyond the control of our investment team. Therefore, actual outcome may differ materially from what is expressed in such forward looking statements.
 
There are risks associated with mutual fund investing, including the loss of principal. The likelihood of loss may be greater if you invest for a shorter period of time. There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful results.
 
There are risks associated with selling short, including the risk that the ICON Long/Short Fund may have to cover its short position at a higher price than the short price, resulting in a loss. The ICON Long/Short Fund’s loss on a short sale is potentially unlimited as a loss occurs when the value of a security sold short

increases. Call options involve certain risks, such as limited gains and lack of liquidity in the underlying securities, and are not suitable for all investors. An investment concentrated in sectors and industries may involve greater risk and volatility than a more diversified investment. Investments in foreign securities may entail unique risks, including political, market, and currency risks.
 
Investing in fixed income securities such as bonds involves interest rate risk. When interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities generally decreases. The ICON Bond Fund may invest up to 25% of its assets in high-yield bonds that are below investment grade. High-yield bonds involve a greater risk of default and price volatility than U.S. Government and other higher-quality bonds.

Comparative Indexes
 
The comparative indexes discussed in this Report are meant to provide a basis for judging a Fund’s performance against specific securities indexes. Each index shown accounts for both change in the security price and reinvestment of dividends and distributions (except as noted), but does not reflect the costs of managing a mutual fund. The Funds’ portfolios may significantly differ in holdings and composition from the index. Individuals cannot invest directly in an index.

Message From ICON Funds
 
Dear Shareholder,
 
Although ICON’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, I write this letter in early November, pleased to report on the continued market rally that began in 2009. Between October 31, 2009 and October 31, 2010, the S & P 1500 Composite Index, a broad measure of the U.S. stock market, gained 17.7%. From October 31, 2008 to October 31, 2010, the S & P 1500 gained 29.8%. On the international side, the MSCI AWCI (ex-U.S.) gained 52.4% over the two years ended October 31, 2010 and 13.1% over the last 12 months. These rates of return are generally above historic averages for 12- or 24-month periods.
 
ICON’s valuation readings during fiscal year 2010 led us to minimize cash in our funds, allowing us to participate in the general market advance. If you are receiving this letter, you own an ICON Fund and we are pleased to report that you most likely participated in the market advance along with our other shareholders.
 
While stock prices continued to advance last year, mutual fund investors evidently remain skeptical about the prospects for equities. Nationwide, many investors have been redeeming their equity mutual funds and moving some of the proceeds into bond funds. This periodic but significant equity sell-off has made for a choppy, volatile upward trend in the overall market. What I said a year ago in our annual shareholder letter remains true today: we see valuation readings approaching levels not seen since late 2007, and we believe these valuations will take stock prices higher. Moreover, last year I reported that between September 30 through October 10, 2008, the S & P 1500 Index dropped 22.9% in eight trading days. Could the . . . recovery be a mirror image of the . . . collapse, with an equally dramatic upside? It’s possible, but unlikely in our opinion. Instead, a path of two steps forward and one step back is more likely. There remain a lot of jittery, skeptical investors who use advances as an opportunity to exit. To move higher, the market has to absorb or “take out” their shares. While valuations may justify price levels back to those seen at the peak in 2007, the path for stock prices may be a grind.
 
In retrospect, and in my opinion, this two steps forward/one step back rally is exactly what happened during fiscal year 2010. Prices moved higher and jittery investors helped create a volatile setting by selling into those market advances. As we said a year ago, the market had to absorb or “take out” anxious sellers in order to move higher. We expect more of the same over the next year as we still see domestic and international stocks to be priced far below our estimate of fair value. That value gap is the reason we anticipate prices will advance, while our expectations for future volatility

are based on our belief that the remaining jittery investors will sell into the advance. We believe the sellers will look back in a few years and regret their move out of equities.
 
The sell-offs and volatility of fiscal year 2010 resulted in dramatic industry theme reversals. Some industries led the market higher for six to eight weeks, only to get pummeled when the market subsequently, though temporarily, retreated. This has been a difficult setting for the ICON system, which is designed to identify and capture industry themes typically lasting one to two years. We believe the choppiness that distinguished the last 12- to 24-months is the temporary consequence of investors who are looking in their rear view mirrors and seeing the declines of 2007 - 2009. As we put that setting further behind us, the volatility and choppy nature of the recent advance will subside and we expect to return to a period characterized by the one- to two-year industry themes we’ve seen in the past.
 
Anecdotally, it seems investors have avoided equities and missed out on gains during the last two years for a variety of reasons, though at ICON we’ve seen timorous or would-be investors express these same anxieties time and again. Some investors worry about the unemployment rate and the fact that it hasn’t declined satisfactorily for them. Others worry about the federal government’s budget deficit, without being able to explain whether or how the deficit impacts the stock market. They just don’t like deficits. Some worry about inflation and deflation at the same time. Still others believe the excess supply of housing is of paramount concern. Many would-be investors worry about the consumer’s ability and willingness to spend in the future. Finally, some believe a weak dollar and staggering gold prices justify waiting on the sidelines.
 
While we understand these concerns, we contend they are not reason enough to stay out of the market. Barely four months ago, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average was roughly 1500 points lower than it was at the end of October, ICON had an overall value-to-price ratio (“V/P”) for domestic and international stocks in the 1.35 range. That is an extreme V/P by historical standards and suggests to us the worries listed above are already built into the market. That’s why stock prices were inexpensive, relatively speaking. Even after the rally through late October, our U.S. V/P is 1.17 and our international V/P is 1.27, suggesting bargains may be found both domestically and internationally. Over the last two years, our valuation readings have proven to be a much better guide for us than chasing the “worry of the week.”

In summary, it appears to me that the ’two steps forward/one step back’ recovery will continue. There is an old investment saying that “Wall Street climbs a wall of worry.” At this point, our valuation readings suggest to us stock prices will chart a path to scale that wall. Thank you for climbing it with us.
 
Yours truly,

Management Overview
ICON Bond Fund
 
Q.  How did the Fund perform relative to its benchmark?
 
A.  For the Fund’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, the ICON Bond Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital US Universal Index. The Fund returned 10.20% for the Class I shares, 9.52% for the Class C shares, and 10.45% for the Class Z shares, while the Barclays Capital US Universal Index returned 8.92%.
 
The fund also showed strong risk adjusted performance vis-à-vis its benchmark. The Class I shares for example, outperformed with just a .81 Beta to the benchmark generating 3.65% in annualized alpha. The Class I shares also had a 2.93 1 year Sharpe Ratio and a 4.90 1 year Sortino Ratio (with the risk free rate as the minimum acceptable return) versus a 2.36 Sharpe Ratio and a 3.88 Sortino Ratio for the benchmark Barclays Capital US Universal Index.
 
Q.  What primary factors were behind the Fund’s relative performance?
 
A.  For the second year in a row, the Fund’s exposure to corporate bonds and underweight position in what many perceive to be “risk free” Treasury bonds was the primary factor behind the Fund’s relative outperformance. Although Treasury securities across the yield curve benefitted from both the flight to quality that began in April and the Federal Reserve’s large scale purchases of Treasury bonds, riskier corporate bonds still outperformed over the fiscal year.
 
The outperformance of riskier credit over the fiscal year was evident in the Barclays Capital US High Yield Index’s 18.44% return and the Barclays Capital US Aggregate Credit Corporate Investment Grade Index’s 12.27% return versus the 7.32% return for the Barclays Capital US Aggregate Government Treasury Index over the fiscal year.
 
The outperformance of corporate bonds over putative “risk free” Treasuries experienced a major reversal, however, and the Fund was able to capitalize on some of the strong Treasury gains that began on April 5. To illustrate this reversal on a weekly basis, the Moody’s Aaa and Baa Index began the year on October 2, 2009 with a 5.00% and 6.14% yield respectively. This compared with the 3.28% yield on the 10-year constant maturity Treasury, representing credit spreads of 172 bps (for the Aaa Index yield) and 286 bps (the Baa yield). By April 9, 2010, the Moody’s Aaa and Baa Index yields had risen only slightly to 5.38% and 6.38% respectively, while the US 10-year constant maturity Treasury yield

 
 
 
Management Overview 9


Table of Contents

increased to 3.94%, thus causing the Aaa and Baa spread to tighten to 144 bps and 244 bps respectively.
 
Shortly after April 9, however, persistent fears of a Treasury bond bubble and inflation were replaced by fears of deflation and a double dip recession. During this flight to safety, the 10 year constant maturity Treasury yield fell 142 bps to 2.52% while the Aaa and Baa Moody’s Index failed to keep pace, falling only 86 and 80 bps respectively to close at 4.52% and 5.58% on October 1. Credit spreads as measured by the Aaa and Baa Index versus the 10-year constant to maturity US Treasury widened to near fiscal year highs of 200 and 306 bps respectively.
 
Despite the Fund’s reliance on six-month relative strength (reliance which perhaps inhibited the Fund’s ability to quickly capture the major reversal from riskier credit to Treasuries), the Fund began trimming low duration floating rate corporate notes and purchasing fixed coupon Treasuries by mid June. By the end of the fiscal year the Fund purchased fixed coupon Treasuries and either sold or held these securities for a final gain of approximately 4.5%, excluding coupons.
 
Q.  How did the Fund’s composition affect performance?
 
A.  As stated above, over the entire fiscal year the Fund’s overweight position in corporate bonds affected performance and relative performance positively. Although the Fund’s significant underweight position in perceived “risk free” Treasuries benefitted the Fund’s relative performance at the outset of the fiscal year, the Fund’s Treasury position led to some relative underperformance from April 9 through September 30, (despite the Fund’s having added fixed coupon Treasuries beginning in mid-June). Although the Fund’s floating rate note exposure aided relative performance in the face of rising yields at the outset of the fiscal year, this overweight exposure negatively impacted relative performance by fiscal year-end, notwithstanding the Fund’s decision to cut floating rate exposure significantly beginning in June. To illustrate, the Barclays Capital US Floating Rate Notes Corporate Index gained just 2.44% for the fiscal year versus the other fixed rate Indices described earlier.
 
Q.  What is your investment outlook for the bond market?
 
A.  ICON’s valuation system, which is quantitatively based on comparing historical relationships across the credit curve to current relationships and incorporating a relative strength measure, continues to see both value and strength in intermediate to long-ended Treasury and corporate bonds. On the Treasury side, the yield curve remains steep despite some

recent flattening. From March 1977 through October 1, 2010, for example, the month-end average spread between the US 10-year Treasury and the US 2-year Treasury is just 81 basis points. As of October 1, 2010, the spread stood at 208 basis points. This spread, accompanied by reduced inflation expectations and further Federal Reserve purchases of Treasuries, should continue to support the long-end of the yield curve in the near term.
 
On the corporate side, credit spreads have widened slightly over the fiscal year, yet remain historically attractive. The Moody’s Aaa Index’s year-end 200 basis point spread over the 10-year constant maturity Treasury compares favorably to its 91 basis point weekly average spread since January 5, 1962. Similarly, the Moody’s Baa year-end spread of 306 basis points stands well above its historical weekly average of 194 basis points from the same date. We believe that further spread tightening is supported by these attractive historical spreads, continued strong demand for taxable bonds from mutual fund investors ($188 billion in new net flows year-to-date through August 2010), and limited supply as corporations continue to repair leveraged balance sheets.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. The above graph compares a $10,000 investment made in the Fund’s Class I shares on the Class’ inception date of 9/30/02 to a $10,000 investment made in an unmanaged securities index on that date. Performance for the Fund’s other share classes will vary due to differences in charges and expenses. The Fund’s performance in this chart and the performance table assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions but does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.

Management Overview
ICON Core Equity Fund
 
Q.  How did the Fund perform relative to its benchmarks?
 
A.  The ICON Core Equity Fund gained 1.70% for the Class I shares, 0.84% for the Class C shares, 1.10% for the Class Z shares, and 0.22% for the Class A shares (-5.51% with maximum sales charge) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010. The Fund’s benchmark, S&P Composite 1500 Index, gained 10.92% over the fiscal year.
 
Q.  What primary factors were behind the Fund’s relative performance?
 
A.  In spite of fiscal year 2010 beginning on the heels of an approximate 60% rally, the stock market was able to post a strong year as the combination of an economic recovery and Federal Reserve based stimulus lifted broad based indexes into positive territory. Although the end of year return was positive, the market charted a volatile path while economic uncertainty remained a persistent theme during the entire period. We believe the U.S. economy experienced two distinct phases during this fiscal year. The first part of the year saw strength in the manufacturing sector of the economy as companies continued the inventory rebuilding process that historically leads an economic recovery. This brought on two strong quarters of GDP growth and positive equity returns as the S&P 1500 rose over 12%. Historically, periods of inventory rebuilding and manufacturing growth are typically followed by the emergence of the consumer as the economic recovery takes hold. Housing declines, consumer deleveraging, and persistent levels of high unemployment stalled this recovery, however, and the second half of the year presented a significant decline in GDP growth. Fortunately, the Federal Reserve reacted aggressively to this slowdown in economic activity and we ended the fiscal year with the strongest September for equities since 1939.
 
Our analysis suggests the equity markets themselves experienced five distinct phases during the fiscal year. The year began with a strong 9% rally in just over three months as economic prospects showed continued promise both domestically and overseas. This initial move was quickly reversed during the month of January as concerns over bank regulation and an economic slowdown in China resulted in an 8% sell-off in just over three weeks. Going into the early part of February 2010 we estimated a value-to-price (“V/P”) ratio of 1.18 for the overall market - the highest reading we had seen in over seven months. As economic fears subsided, investors took advantage of these inexpensive valuations and pushed the market higher as the S&P 1500 Index rose over 16% in just over two

months. However, highlighting again the lack of conviction within the market, the S&P 1500 Index tumbled over 15% from the end of April to the beginning of July 2010. This time period also included the infamous “flash crash,” as concerns about the solvency of many European countries sent an already shaky market into a computerized driven tail-spin. As mentioned above, in response to debt-driven concerns and a slowing economic recovery, many global central banks stepped in to provide an economic backstop. Specifically, the European Union established a massive $1 trillion bailout plan, while the US Federal Reserve pledged to keep rates historically low for “an extended period” of time, driving interest rates on the 10-year treasury well below 3%. These actions provided investors with the confidence they evidently needed to jump back in the equity markets and the S&P 1500 Index rallied by over 11% to finish the fiscal year on a positive note.
 
Q.  How did the Fund’s composition affect performance?
 
A.  The top sector contributors to the Fund’s performance during fiscal year 2010 were Industrials, Materials, and Consumer Discretionary. Overweight positions and strong stock performance in these cyclically driven areas contributed positively during the time period. The top industry contributors to performance during fiscal year 2010 were railroads, construction & farm machinery & heavy trucks, computer hardware, gold, and IT consulting & other services.
 
Top sector detractors to the Fund’s performance during fiscal year 2010 were Financials, Energy, and Health Care. While all three sectors detracted from overall performance during the year, our underweight positions relative to the S&P 1500 Index dampened the overall effect to the Fund. Top industry detractors from performance included the other diversified financial services, steel, communications equipment, drug retail, and education services.
 
Q.  What is your investment outlook for the overall market?
 
A.  At the close of the fiscal year, we estimated the overall market had a V/P of 1.26, which gives us confidence about the prospect for future opportunities. Questions regarding the economy linger, however, and the next 12 months present a challenging investing environment. Domestic GDP expectations have been cut to 2.7% for 2010 and 2.5% for 2011, the manufacturing segment of the economy is beginning to show signs of fatigue, and persistent levels of high unemployment are bringing into question the sustainability of the economic recovery. On the other hand, many domestic companies have used the downturn to establish strong balance sheets and to position themselves to grow in spite of the

economic slowdown. Fortunately, we believe these qualities will contribute to an environment in which company-specific fundamentals and underlying valuations will drive future stock market activity. Going forward, we will continue to utilize our disciplined systematic approach to investing in order to better navigate these challenging times.

Management Overview
ICON Equity Income Fund
 
Q.  How did the Fund perform relative to its benchmark?
 
A.  The ICON Equity Income Fund, Class I, returned 10.93% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, just slightly outperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P Composite 1500 Index, which returned 10.92% during the same period. Class A shares of the Fund returned 10.84% (and 4.50% with maximum sales charge) during the same period. Class C shares of the Fund returned 9.99% for the fiscal year and the Class Z shares returned 11.04%.
 
Q.  What primary factors were behind the Fund’s relative performance?
 
A.  While the Equity Income Fund’s returns were almost identical to those of its benchmark, the S&P 1500 Composite Index, the Fund and the Index achieved their returns differently. As the yield from US Treasuries fell over the last half of the fiscal year, investors sought yield-generating alternatives. During fiscal year 2010, the 10-year Treasury yield fell to a low of 2.5%; it had been as high as 4% in early April. In response, investors flocked to high yield bonds, preferred stocks or high dividend yielding stocks. Over the course of the 12-month period, stocks that paid a dividend yield of 1.5% or more returned a weighted average of 13.4% in the S&P 1500 while stocks that paid under 1.5% returned 8.1%. The ICON Equity Income Fund was overweight stocks that paid a dividend yield of 1.5% and higher. In fact, these stocks had a weighted average of nearly 99% based on the equity portion in the Fund during this time period. The S&P 1500, by contrast, had a weighted average of roughly 54% in stocks that paid a dividend yield of 1.5% and higher.
 
The Fund’s gains in high dividend paying stocks were offset by the Fund’s exposure to fixed income securities. While bonds in general had a strong year, they nonetheless lagged equities. The Barclay’s Capital Universal Index lagged high yielding equities, rising 8.9% compared to the 13.4% weighted average return for stocks yielding 1.5% or better. On December 21, 2009, the Fund held close to 21% in fixed income securities, including convertible bonds, preferred securities and Treasuries. By fiscal year end we trimmed this position to slightly less than 11% as equities became more attractive under our system. Still, our bond holdings ultimately proved to be a drag on the Fund’s overall performance relative to the S&P 1500.

Q.  How did the Fund’s composition affect performance?
 
A.  As previously stated, the Fund’s overweighting in stocks that yielded 1.5% or more during the period positively impacted performance. The Fund benefitted also from an overweighting in the Materials sector. Materials industries made up approximately 9.5% of the Fund’s equity component, while making up only 3.76% of the Index. The diversified chemicals industry alone made up 4% of the equity portion of the Fund. The average weighted return of the Fund’s diversified chemicals stocks was 36% while those in the Index had an average weighted return of 27%.
 
Industries within the Energy sector similarly added to the Fund’s equity performance. The Fund’s coal & consumable fuels industry holdings, for example, returned 38%, outpacing the 10% return the industry generated for the S&P 1500 and contributing approximately 0.75% to the Fund’s equity outperformance. While the Fund was slightly underweight the Energy sector relative to its benchmark, the Energy industries held by the Fund, as well as the stock selected to represent those industries, added another 1% of outperformance compared to the equities held by the S&P 1500.
 
Conversely, the Fund’s life & health insurance positions and the Fund’s use of call options proved to be a lag on performance. In fiscal year 2010, the Equity Income Fund took advantage of a number of different options strategies, including the purchase of defensive puts and the purchase of stock-specific calls in an effort to create synthetic convertible bonds. The Equity Income Fund also held various index and ETF puts during the fiscal year. The Fund implemented these options strategies in an attempt to offset possible losses should the market steadily decline. Instead, the market rallied 12.34% off the July 2, 2010 low and while the put options ultimately proved to be a drag on performance in this environment, the Fund was nonetheless able to capture 82% of the market’s upside, rising 10% overall.
 
Q.  What is your investment outlook for the market?
 
A.  As the fiscal year ends, we measure fair value for the broad equity market to be approximately 26% higher than where prices are currently trading, suggesting many opportunities exist for investors in today’s market. We believe also that investors will seek out high dividend securities in the near term as they look to generate income. Guided by our valuation and relative strength metrics, we will continue to try to take advantage of changing market conditions so as to benefit the Fund.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. The above graph compares a $10,000 investment made in the Fund’s Class I shares on the Class’ inception date of 9/30/02 to a $10,000 investment made in an unmanaged securities index on that date. Performance for the Fund’s other share classes will vary due to differences in charges and expenses. The Fund’s performance in this chart and the performance table assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions but does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.

Management Overview
ICON Long/Short Fund
 
Q.  How did the Fund perform relative to its benchmark?
 
A.  The ICON Long/Short Fund returned 2.32% for the Class I shares, 1.65% for the Class C shares, 2.63% for the Class Z shares, and 2.34% for the Class A shares (-3.53% with maximum sales charge), underperforming the 10.92% return for the Fund’s stated benchmark, the S&P 1500 Composite Index. The Fund did however outperform the 0.34% return for the Bank of America/Merrill Lynch US Dollar 3 month Constant Maturity benchmark which is more traditionally used in the Long/Short space.
 
Q.  What primary factors were behind the Fund’s relative performance?
 
A.  Rapid and violent theme reversals were the primary factor behind the Fund’s relative performance. At the outset of the fiscal year, a very high quality, non-cyclical, slow growth themed rally led both the benchmark and the Fund slightly higher. ICON’s quantitative methodology, based on valuations, relative strength, and a proprietary quantitative quality metric, captured this theme well. From September 30, 2009 through February 8, 2010, for example, the Class I shares rose 1.37% versus just 0.59% for the S&P 1500 Composite. The Fund also generated alpha while exhibiting low volatility over this time period, outperforming with just a .44 Beta. This translates into an annualized alpha of 4.18% during this time period.
 
Beginning on February 8, 2010, however, the high quality, non-cyclical, slow growth theme described above was rapidly replaced by a low quality, high Beta, cyclical rally. Although the Fund’s Class I shares gained 2.90% from February 8, 2010 through April 23, 2010, this gain did not keep pace with the dramatic 16.62% return for the S&P 1500 Composite Index.
 
On April 23, 2010, the market experienced its third major theme reversal, as hopes of a V-shape recovery were quickly replaced by fears of a double dip recession. Although ICON’s quantitative method was pulled toward some of the cyclical sectors that led the remarkable rally described above, ICON’s valuation model viewed the broader market at just a 1.01 overall value-to-price ratio on April 23, leaving the Long/Short Fund significantly hedged. So as the S&P 1500 Composite Index fell 5.46% to close out the fiscal year, the Fund experienced only 35% of this downside, losing just 1.90% for the Class I shares.

Q.  How did the Fund’s composition affect performance?
 
A.  Long position sector tilts by the Fund greatly affected performance as did the rapid theme reversals described above. In the Industrials sector, the Fund held a long overweight and outperforming position, allocating approximately 14% of its assets to Industrials versus 11% for the benchmark. The Fund’s Industrials stocks returned over 27% on average, versus just 19% for the benchmark’s Industrials holdings. Although the Fund’s long stock selections in the Materials sector slightly underperformed those in the benchmark, with an approximate 11.7% average return versus a 12.3% average benchmark return, the Fund’s long overweight allocation of approximately 7% of its average weight versus just a 3.76% average weight for the benchmark aided performance. The Fund also held an overweight and outperforming long allocation in the Health Care sector.
 
The Fund’s long allocations to the Energy and Consumer Discretionary sectors dragged on overall performance. The Fund’s underweight Consumer Discretionary stocks’ approximate 0% return significantly underperformed the 22% return generated from the S&P 1500 Consumer Discretionary Index. Within the Energy sector, the Fund was also hampered by an overweight position in the oil and gas drilling industry. Largely due to this positioning, the Fund’s Energy stocks fell over 6% versus a positive 5.1% average return for Energy stocks within the S&P 1500 Composite Index.
 
The Fund was also negatively affected by its short positions in the total return context. To illustrate, the Fund’s long positions generated a total return of approximately 7.7% while the overall combined positions in the Fund generated the 2.32% return described at the outset of this discussion. Conversely, the Fund’s short hedges and opportunistic hedging schedule did help offset some downside volatility and losses as described earlier. In addition, from October 22 through October 30, 2009, the S&P 1500 Composite quickly dropped 5.43%. ICON’s 1.06 value-to-price ratio on October 22, suggested limited upside, however. Accordingly, the Fund was significantly hedged and the Class I shares dropped only 1.81%.
 
Q.  What is your investment outlook for the equity market?
 
A.  As fiscal year 2010 came to an end, ICON’s valuation model showed a 1.26 overall value-to-price ratio for the broad equity market. Given the potential upside suggested by the model, the Fund will remain relatively un-hedged until our valuations indicate the broader market is more fairly priced. The Fund continues to see both compelling value and strength from its two largest over-weighted sectors, Industrials and Materials, but

is also beginning to see strong value and strength metrics from the more defensive oriented Utilities and Consumer Staples sectors. Despite some moderate credit spread widening, corporate bond yields or opportunity costs as viewed by the ICON model have fallen and should support equity gains to the extent that firms continue to slowly repair corporate earnings.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. The above graph compares a $10,000 investment made in the Fund’s Class I shares on the Class’ inception date of 9/30/02 to a $10,000 investment made in an unmanaged securities index on that date. Performance for the Fund’s other share classes will vary due to differences in charges and expenses. The Fund’s performance in this chart and the performance table assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions but does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.

Management Overview
ICON Risk-Managed Equity Fund
 
Q.  How did the Fund Perform relative to its benchmark?
 
A.  The Fund underperformed its benchmark for the period. The Fund gained 3.56% for the Class I shares, 2.73% for the Class C shares, 3.90% for the Class Z shares, and 3.69% for the Class A shares (-2.24% with maximum sales charge), while the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 1500 Composite Index, gained 10.92%.
 
Q.  What primary factors influenced the Fund’s relative performance during the period?
 
A.  The overriding factor that marked this fiscal period could be summed up in a single word: volatility. Concerns over macro economic conditions such as the ongoing high unemployment rate, worries about a double dip recession and fears of potential hyper inflation combined with anxieties over the potential for spiraling deflation, a lack of consumer confidence, and numerous other economic indicators roiled the market. Distress over Greece’s potential sovereign debt default along with growing deficits in other eurozone countries exacerbated domestic concerns, adding to the sharp swings in the market. This persistent uncertainty translated into the extreme market volatility that marked the period.
 
In spite of these global concerns, the market nonetheless continued the rally that began in early 2009, but the road higher was rocky. The volatility in the market can be seen in snapshots of changes over numerous time frames during the entire period. In a roughly two week period at the beginning of the year, for example, from October 2 to October 19, the market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, rose 7.16% - a 341% annualized return. Then, from October 19 to October 30, the market quickly reversed course, declining 5.58%. Subsequently, from October 30 to November 18, the market shot back up, gaining 7.29%.
 
These sharp reversals continued throughout the fiscal year as traders engaged in what became known as risk on, risk off trading. As the fiscal year continued the S&P 500 Index reached its high of 1217.28 on April 23 before sliding 15.63%, hitting the period low of 1022.58 on July 2. In the final month of the year, the market rallied 8.92% for its largest September increase since 1939.
 
In the midst of these dramatic swings came arguably the most explosive single moment in market history. On May 6, on what now has become known as the “Flash Crash,” the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged

about 6% in approximately five minutes - from 10,500 to its intraday low of 9869. The Dow managed to rally from that low, closing at 10,520. Over the course of the day the Average had a 1010 point trading range, from a high of 10,879 to a low of 9869, before closing down 3.2% at 10,510.
 
The Fund’s strategy of writing S&P 500 Index call options and using some of the proceeds to buy S&P 500 Index out-of-the-money put options helped reduce the Fund’s volatility relative to its benchmark, the S&P 1500 Composite Index. Thus, the Fund’s beta for the fiscal year was .47, translating into a more than 50% decrease in volatility compared to the S&P 1500. The Fund also held up better than its benchmark during the sharp market downturns. By design, however, the trade-off for the reduction of volatility and the better relative performance during market downturns is the Fund’s limited upside. And, as noted at the outset of this discussion, the Fund underperformed its benchmark for the fiscal year.
 
Q.  How did the Fund’s Composition affect performance?
 
A.  In assessing the overall performance of the Fund, it is important to also consider the active sector rotation strategy that is implemented regardless of the Fund’s options hedging overlay feature. The Fund’s tilt towards the Industrials sector (a bias predicated upon our quantitative, value based investment methodology) was the top contributor to performance of the nine sectors held. On average during the fiscal year, Industrials comprised about 16% of the Fund while representing approximately 11% of the S&P 1500 for the same time period.
 
The Industrials sector has a significant number of industries related to the manufacturing segment of the economy. With manufacturing leading the economy out of the worst recession since the Great Depression, this tilt paid off. Among the industries within this sector that had a positive contribution to performance were construction & farm machinery and industrial machinery as well as railroads and industrial conglomerates.
 
At the other end of the spectrum, industries within the Consumer Discretionary sector were a drag on performance. The computer & electronics retail industry and the home improvement retail industry, while comprising only a very small weight in the Fund over the period, had significant declines that detracted from performance. Although the Consumer Discretionary sector as a whole contributed positive performance to the Fund, these two particular industries did not move lock-step with the broader sector.

Q.  What is the investment outlook for the equity market?
 
A.  Stocks ended the period trading at about a 26% discount to our calculation of their intrinsic value. Even after the significant run-up in September, we believe stocks have yet to catch up with value. As we head into the new fiscal year, all nine sectors we track remain undervalued under the ICON system.
 
The Fund enters the year with a heavy tilt toward the Industrials sector as well as an overweight position in the Materials sector. Both sectors have numerous industries with upside potential that are displaying leadership.
 
The Fund is underweight the Health Care sector, which has been a laggard over the past six months. We are currently seeing strength in the economically sensitive areas of the market and Health Care does not appear to be part of that theme. That said, based on current valuations across the spectrum of sectors we track, we anticipate a broad based rally over the next fiscal year, but with the cyclically oriented sectors leading the way.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. The above graph compares a $10,000 investment made in the Fund’s Class I shares on the Class’ inception date of 9/30/02 to a $10,000 investment made in an unmanaged securities index on that date. Performance for the Fund’s other share classes will vary due to differences in charges and expenses. The Fund’s performance in this chart and the performance table assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions but does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.

1. Organization
 
The ICON Bond Fund (“Bond Fund”), ICON Core Equity Fund (“Core Equity Fund”), ICON Equity Income Fund (“Equity Income Fund”), ICON Long/Short Fund (“Long/Short Fund”) and ICON Risk-Managed Equity Fund (“Risk-Managed Equity Fund”) are series funds (individually a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Funds are part of the ICON Funds (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end investment management company. Each Fund has four classes of shares: Class I, Class C, Class Z and Class A. Class A shares of the Bond Fund commenced operations at the close of business on September 30, 2010. All classes have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges except that each Class may bear different distribution fees, registration costs, legal costs, mailing and printing costs and shareholder servicing costs and each Class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan. There are currently twelve other active Funds within the Trust. Those Funds are covered by separate prospectuses and shareholder reports.
 
Each Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of no par shares. The investment objective of the Bond Fund is maximum total return. The investment objective of the Core Equity Fund is long-term capital appreciation with a secondary objective of capital preservation. The investment objective of the Equity Income Fund is modest capital appreciation and income. The investment objective of the Long/Short Fund is capital appreciation. The investment objective of the Risk-Managed Equity Fund is modest capital appreciation and to maximize realized gains.
 
The Funds may have elements of risk, including the risk of loss of principal. There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful results. An investment concentrated in sectors and industries may involve greater risk and volatility than a more diversified investment. Investing in fixed income securities such as bonds involves interest rate risk. When interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities generally decreases. Additionally, the Bond Fund may invest in medium-and lower-quality debt securities. High-yield bonds involve a greater risk of default and price volatility than U.S. government and other high-quality bonds. The Long/Short Fund engages in short selling; there are risks associated with selling short, including the risk that the Long/Short Fund may have to cover its short position at a higher price than the short sale, resulting in a loss. The Long/Short Fund’s loss on a short sale is potentially unlimited as a loss

occurs when the value of a security sold short increases. The Risk-Managed Equity Fund invests in call options; call options involve certain risks, such as limited gains and lack of liquidity of the underlying securities, and are not suitable for all investors. Investments in foreign securities and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of U.S. dollar-denominated transactions as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of lower government supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets and the possibility of political or economic instability. Financial statements of foreign companies are governed by different accounting, auditing, and financial standards than U.S. companies and may be less transparent and uniform than in the United States. Many corporate governance standards, which help ensure the integrity of public information in the United States, may not exist in some foreign countries. In general, there may be less governmental supervision of foreign stock exchanges and securities brokers and issuers. There are also risks associated with small- and mid-cap investing, including limited product lines, less liquidity and small market share.
 
The Core Equity Fund has a significant weighting in the Industrials sector which may cause the Fund’s performance to be susceptible to the economic, business and/or other developments that may affect that sector.
 
In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into various agreements that provide for general indemnifications. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as any potential exposure involving future claims that may be made against each Fund is unknown. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be minimal.
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Investment Valuation
 
The Funds’ securities and other assets, excluding options on securities indexes, are valued as of the closing price at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) (normally 4 p.m. Eastern Standard Time) each day the NYSE is open, except that securities traded primarily on the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) are normally valued by the Funds at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price provided by NASDAQ each business day. Options on securities indexes are valued at the close of the Chicago Board Options Exchange (normally 4:15 p.m. Eastern Standard Time) on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading.
 
The Funds use pricing services to obtain the market value of securities in their portfolios; if a pricing service is not able to provide a price, or the pricing service’s valuation quote is considered inaccurate or does not reflect the market value of the security, prices may be obtained through market quotations from independent broker/dealers. If market quotations from these sources are not readily available, the Funds’ securities or other assets are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (“Board”) or pursuant to procedures approved by the Board.
 
Lacking any sales that day, a security is valued at the current closing bid price (or yield equivalent thereof) or based on quotes obtained from dealers making a market for the security. Options are valued at their closing mid-price on the market with the most volume. Mid-price is the average of the closing bid and closing ask prices. Debt securities with a remaining maturity of greater than 60 days are valued in accordance with the evaluated bid price supplied by the pricing service. The evaluated bid price supplied by the pricing service is based upon a matrix valuation system which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities and ratings. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market value. Currency rates as of the close of the NYSE are used to convert foreign security values into U.S. dollars.
 
The Funds’ securities traded in countries outside of the Western Hemisphere are fair valued daily by utilizing the quotations of an independent pricing service, unless the Board determines that use of another valuation methodology is appropriate. The purposes of daily fair valuation are to avoid stale prices and to take into account, among other things, any significant events occurring after the close of foreign markets. The pricing service uses statistical analyses and quantitative models to adjust local market prices using factors such as subsequent movements and changes in the prices of

indexes, securities and exchange rates in other markets to determine fair value as of the time a Fund calculates its net asset value (“NAV”). The valuation assigned to fair-value securities for purposes of calculating a Fund’s NAV may differ from the security’s most recent closing market price and from the prices used by other mutual funds to calculate their NAVs.
 
Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.
 
Various inputs are used to determine the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
 
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
 
Level 2 — significant observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk).
 
Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs.
 
Observable inputs are those based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Funds, and unobservable inputs reflect the Funds’ own assumptions based on the best information available. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, non-U.S. equity securities actively traded in foreign markets generally are reflected in Level 2 despite the availability of closing prices, because the Funds evaluate and determine whether those closing prices reflect fair value at the close of the NYSE or require adjustment, as described above. The following table summarizes the Funds’ investments, based on the inputs used to determine their values on September 30, 2010:

Foreign Currency Translation
 
The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated daily into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange. Income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions. Purchases and sales of securities are translated into U.S. dollars at the contractual currency exchange rates established at the time of each trade.
 
The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments and foreign currency translations arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, resulting from changes in the exchange rates and changes in market prices of securities held.
 
Options Transactions
 
The Funds’ use of derivatives for the year ended September 30, 2010 was limited to purchased and written options.
 
The Risk-Managed Equity Fund’s primary investment strategy involves the use of options. Each of the other Funds may also purchase and/or write (sell) call and put options on any security in which it may invest. The Funds utilize options to hedge against changes in market conditions and to provide market exposure while trying to reduce transaction costs.
 
Option contracts involve market risk and can be highly volatile. Should prices of securities or securities indexes move in an unexpected manner, the Funds may not achieve the desired benefits and may realize losses and thus be in a worse position than if such strategies had not been utilized.
 
When a Fund writes a put or call option, an amount equal to the premium received is included on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a written call option on an individual security is exercised, a gain or loss is realized for the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a written call option on a securities index is exercised, a gain or loss is realized as determined by the premium originally received, the

exercise price and the market value of the index. If a written put option on an individual security is exercised, the cost of the security acquired is decreased by the premium originally received. As a writer of an option, a Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the individual security or securities index underlying the written option. Additionally, written call options may involve the risk of limited gains, lack of liquidity for the option and lack of liquidity for the security or securities index.
 
Each Fund may also purchase put and call options. When a Fund purchases a put or call option, an amount equal to the premium paid is included on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment, and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires on the stipulated expiration date or if the Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If the Fund exercises a call option on an individual security, the cost of the security acquired is increased by the premium paid for the call. If the Fund exercises a put option on an individual security, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such a sale are decreased by the premium originally paid. If the Fund exercises a put or a call option on a security index, a gain or loss is realized as determined by the premium originally paid, the exercise price and the market value of the index. Written and purchased options are non-income producing securities.
 
As of September 30, 2010, the Equity Income Fund engaged in purchased put and call options transactions and the Risk-Managed Equity Fund engaged in written call and purchased put options transactions. All open option contracts are included on each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
 
The Risk-Managed Equity Fund’s written options are collateralized by cash and/or securities held in a segregated account at the Fund’s custodian. Such collateral is restricted from the Fund’s use. The cash collateral held for the prime broker and/or borrowings from the prime broker are included on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The securities pledged as collateral are included on the Schedule of Investments.

Information about derivative instruments reflected as of the date of this report is generally indicative of the type and volume of derivative activity for the year ended September 30, 2010.
 
The Funds value derivatives at fair value, as described below, and recognize changes in fair value currently in the results of operations. Accordingly, the Funds do not follow hedge accounting, even for derivatives employed as economic hedges.
 
Short Sales
 
The Long/Short Fund may engage in short sales (selling securities it does not own) as part of its normal investment activities. The Long/Short Fund enters into short positions in equity securities identified as being overvalued.
 
Short sales involve market risk. If a security sold short increases in price, the Long/Short Fund may have to cover its short position at a higher price than the short sale price, resulting in a loss. These short sales are collateralized by cash and/or securities held with the Fund’s prime broker and in a segregated account at the Fund’s custodian. The collateral required is determined daily by reference to the market value of the short positions. Such collateral for the Fund is restricted from use. The cash collateral that is restricted from use is included on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as “Deposits for short sales.“The securities pledged as collateral that are restricted from use are included on the Schedule of Investments. Dividends received on short sales are treated as an expense on the Statement of Operations. Liabilities for securities sold short are closed out by purchasing the applicable securities for delivery to the Fund’s prime broker. As of

September 30, 2010, the Long/Short Fund engaged in short selling. The short positions are included in the Schedule of Securities Sold Short on the Schedule of Investments.
 
Securities Lending
 
Under procedures adopted by the Board, the Funds may lend securities to non-affiliated qualified parties. The Funds seek to earn additional income through securities lending. There is the risk of delay in recovering a loaned security. The Funds do not have the right to vote on securities while they are on loan; however, the Funds may attempt to call back the loan and vote the proxy.
 
All loans will be continuously secured by collateral which consists of cash. The cash collateral is invested in the State Street Navigator Prime Portfolio and is disclosed on the Schedule of Investments. The lending fees received and the Funds’ portion of the interest income earned on cash collateral are included on the Statement of Operations, if applicable.
 
As of September 30, 2010, the following Funds had securities with the following values on loan:
 
                 
    Value of
    Value of
 
Fund   Loaned Securities     Collateral

    4,740,628       4,838,596  
ICON Risk-Managed Equity Fund
    4,865,836       4,998,385  
 
The value of the collateral above could include collateral held for securities that were sold on or before September 30, 2010. It may also include collateral received from the pre-funding of loans.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Funds intend to qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and, accordingly, the Funds will generally not be subject to federal and state income taxes, or federal excise taxes to the extent that they intend to make sufficient distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains.
 
Dividends paid by the Funds from net investment income and distributions of net realized short-term gains are, for federal income tax purposes, taxable as ordinary income to shareholders.

 
 
 
Notes to Financial Statements 77


Table of Contents

 
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
 
Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Funds on the ex-dividend/distribution date. The Bond Fund distributes net investment income, if any, to shareholders monthly. The Equity Income Fund and the Risk-Managed Equity Fund intend to distribute net investment income, if any, to shareholders quarterly. Other Funds distribute income, if any, annually. The Funds distribute net realized capital gains, if any, to shareholders at least annually, if not offset by capital loss carryforwards. The Funds may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes and designate earnings and profits, including net realized gains distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares, as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements.
 
The Funds file U.S. tax returns. While the statute of limitations remains open to examine the Funds’ U.S. tax returns filed for the past four years, no examinations are in progress or anticipated at this time. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
 
Investment Income
 
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Funds are informed of the dividend if such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the life of the respective securities.
 
Investment Transactions
 
Security transactions are accounted for no later than one business day after the trade date. However, for financial reporting purposes, security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

Allocation of Income and Expenses
 
Each class of a Fund’s shares bears expenses incurred specifically on its behalf and, in addition, each class bears a portion of general expenses, based upon relative net assets of each class. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a specific Fund in the Trust are apportioned between all Funds in the Trust based upon relative net assets. In calculating the net asset value per share of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses other than class-specific expenses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets.
 
Below are the class level expenses that are included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations:

As of April 1, 2010, ICON Advisers entered into a sub-administration agreement with State Street to which State Street assists ICON Advisers with the administration and business affairs of the Trust. For its services, ICON Advisers pays State Street a fee that is calculated daily and paid monthly at an annual rate based on the aggregate average daily assets of the Trust. Prior to April 1, 2010, Citi assisted ICON Advisers with the administration and business affairs of the Trust. ICON Advisers paid Citi a fee that was calculated daily and paid monthly at an annual rate based on the average daily assets of the Trust.
 
Distribution Fees
 
The Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (“12b-1 Plan”) under which the Funds are authorized to compensate the Funds’ distributor, ICON Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) (an affiliate of the adviser) for the sale and distribution of shares and for other shareholder services. Under the 12b-1 Plan, Bond Fund Class C shareholders pay an annual distribution and service fee of 0.85% of average daily net assets and Class I and Class A shareholders pay an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25% of average daily net assets. The shareholders of the other Funds pay an annual distribution and service fee of 1.00% of average daily net assets for Class C shares and an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25% of average daily net assets for Class I shares and Class A shares. The total amount paid under the 12b-1 plans by the Funds is shown on the Statement of Operations.
 
Other Related Parties
 
Certain Officers and Directors of ICON Advisers are also Officers and Trustees of the Funds; however, such Officers and Trustees (with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer, “CCO”) receive no compensation from the Funds. The CCO’s salary is paid 100% by the Funds. For the year ended September 30, 2010, the total related amounts paid by the Trust under this arrangement are included in Other Expenses on the Statements of Operations.
 
Some of the distribution amounts received by IDI, discussed in the Distribution Fees section above, have been used to offset various shareholder servicing costs incurred by ICON Advisers. For the year ended September 30, 2010, this amount was $42,777.

6. Federal Income Tax
 
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from accounting principles that are generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are due to differing treatments for items such as net short-term gains, deferrals of wash sale losses, foreign currency transactions, net investment losses, and capital loss carryforwards.
 
The tax components of capital shown in the following tables represent losses or deductions the Funds may be able to offset against income and gains recognized in future years and post October loss deferrals. The accumulated losses noted represent net capital loss carryforwards as of September 30,

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of the ICON Funds:
 
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ICON Bond Fund, ICON Core Equity Fund, ICON Equity Income Fund, ICON Risk Managed Equity Fund and ICON Long/Short Fund (five of the portfolios constituting ICON Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at September 30, 2010, and the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at September 30, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Six Month Hypothetical Expense Example
September 30, 2010 (Unaudited)
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of a Fund you may pay two types of fees: transaction fees and fund-related fees. Certain funds charge transaction fees, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees. Funds also incur various ongoing expenses, including management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses, which are indirectly paid by shareholders.
 
This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the various ICON Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the six-month period (4/1/10-9/30/10).
 
Actual Expenses
 
The first line in the table for each Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. The Example includes, but is not limited to, management fees, 12b-1 fees, fund accounting, custody and transfer agent fees. However, the Example does not include client specific fees, such as the $15 fee charged to IRA accounts, or the $15 fee charged for wire redemptions. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for each Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
 
The second line in the table for each Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your

ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees that may be charged by other funds. Therefore, this information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s six month expense ratio annualized, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 to reflect the one-half year period.
 
Total returns exclude applicable sales charges. If sales charges were included (maximum 5.75%), returns would be lower.

Notice to the Shareholders of the ICON Bond Fund
 
The ICON Bond Fund presently provides, under the heading Principal Investment Strategy, that the Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in a broad range of U.S. dollar-denominated bonds. It lists these to include corporate bonds, notes, debentures, asset-backed securities, and mortgage-related securities. The ICON Bond Fund has not significantly invested in asset-backed securities or mortgage-related securities in the past, and has no present intent to do so in the immediate future. As such, it will remove such instruments from its Principal Investment Strategy and include a benchmark that excludes such bonds. The ICON Bond Fund may, however, invest in such bonds, but not as a principle investment strategy.

Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreements
 
On August 9, 2010, the Board of Trustees, including all of the Trustees that are not “interested persons” of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), approved continuation of the advisory agreements between ICON Funds (the “Trust”) and ICON Advisers, Inc. (“ICON” or the “Adviser”) - the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement dated October 9, 1996, as amended (related to the Sector, International and Core Equity Funds) and under the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement dated July 9, 2002 and effective October 1, 2002, as amended (related to the U.S. Diversified Funds - Bond, Risk-Managed Equity, Equity Income and Long/Short Funds) (collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”), for an additional one-year term commencing October 1, 2010.
 
In determining to renew the Advisory Agreements the Board requested, was provided with and reviewed data with respect to ICON, its personnel, and the services to be provided to each Fund by ICON. The data included information concerning advisory, distribution and administrative services provided to the Funds by ICON and its related companies; information concerning other businesses of those companies; comparative data related to exchange traded funds versus the Sector Funds; and comparative data obtained from Lipper Analytical Services related to Fund performance and Fund expenses (the “Lipper report”). Management also provided an AthenaInvest investment style analysis relating to the Funds. Management personnel discussed the data for and with those present. Included in the discussion was a briefing on the sales and marketing initiatives, the different classes of shares being offered by the Trust and efficiencies in connection with administering services to the Funds/various classes of shares.
 
The Independent Trustees were represented by independent legal counsel throughout the process. Prior to acting on the matter, the Independent Trustees met separately as a group in private sessions with their independent legal counsel to review and discuss the foregoing information. Based on these discussions, independent legal counsel and/or the Lead Independent Trustee also contacted management to request additional information and to discuss responses to questions raised during the process. In addition, the Independent Trustees received materials from their independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards applicable to their consideration of the agreement.
 
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board reviewed information relating to ICON’s operations and personnel. Among other things, the Adviser provided biographical

 
 
 
Other Information 95


Table of Contents

information on its professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. In the course of their deliberations the Board evaluated, among other things, information relating to the investment philosophy, strategies and techniques used in managing each Fund, the qualifications and experience of ICON’s investment personnel, ICON’s compliance programs, ICON’s brokerage practices, including the extent to which the Adviser obtains research through “soft dollar” arrangements with the Funds’ brokerage, and the financial and non-financial resources available to provide services required under the Advisory Agreements.
 
During the discussion, the Lipper report was discussed and management personnel showed performance for each fund and discussed the factors affecting performance. Management noted that ICON modified the valuation methodology at the end of 2008 to better account for systemic risk. ICON implemented the modified valuation methodology in February 2009. During the discussion, management personnel noted that the markets over the past year have been very volatile; that when the market is volatile, relative strength readings are also volatile; that volatility has affected ICON’s performance; and that this had been the case for much of the last year for the Funds. It was also noted that poor quality stocks with low relative strength lead the market whereas higher quality stocks with higher relative strength have not performed as well; and that the market volatility and the relative strength component to our methodology have produced mixed results. In this regard it was noted that many other value managers have had challenges in this market. In the discussion, the Adviser advised that it continues to believe the adjustments to its system have been functioning as intended, and as this period of volatility stabilizes the funds will benefit; and that the Adviser is constantly evaluating the system and will modify it as needed.
 
In connection with reviewing data bearing upon the nature, quality, and extent of services furnished by ICON to each Fund, the Board assessed data concerning ICON’s staffing, systems and facilities. The Board also assessed ICON’s non-Trust business to see if there are any initiatives that would dilute service to the Trust. The Board noted:
 
A. That the breadth and the quality of investment advisory and other services being provided to each Fund is satisfactory, as evidenced in part by efforts to address and improve the performance record of each Fund when compared with the performance records of a peer group of comparable funds and markets in general;
 
B. That ICON has made significant expenditures in the past year and in prior years to ensure that it has the sophisticated systems and the highly trained personnel necessary for it to be able to continue to provide

Table of Contents

quality service to the Funds’ shareholders, including the dedication of substantial resources to ICON’s investment and trading departments;
 
C. That the Board is satisfied with the research, portfolio management, and trading services, among others, being provided by ICON to the Funds; and
 
D. The risks assumed by ICON in providing investment advisory services to each Fund including the capital commitments which have been made in the past and which continue to be made by ICON to ensure the continuation of the highest quality of service to the Trust is made with the recognition that the Trust’s advisory relationship with ICON be terminated at any time and must be renewed on an annual basis.
 
In considering the reasonableness of the fee payable to the Adviser for managing each Fund, the Board reviewed, among other things, data concerning other funds from the Lipper report, financial statements of the Adviser and an analysis of the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates of their relationship with each Fund over various time periods, which analysis identified all revenues and other benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates from managing each Fund, the costs associated with providing such services and the resulting profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates.
 
The Board considered the current and anticipated asset levels of each Fund and the willingness of the Adviser to reimburse expenses of the Funds from time to time, in connection with the contractual expense limitation agreement, to limit the total expenses of the Funds. In this regard the Board discussed significantly reduced asset levels in each fund covered by the Advisory Agreements due to the tumultuous markets during the past two and a half years, to relative poor Fund performance (prior to the adjustment to the Advisers system in early 2009), and to industry wide net-redemptions in reaction to the tumultuous markets. ICON’s ability to provide the services called for under the Advisory Agreements was assessed in light of current and projected asset levels. Fund expenses and expense ratios were also assessed in light of current and projected asset levels. The Board concluded that the Adviser has the resources necessary to provide the services called for under the Advisory Agreements; that profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds is not excessive; and that the Adviser is not realizing material benefits from economies of scale that would warrant adjustments to the fees for any Fund at this time. The Board of Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and the levels of profitability associated with providing these services, the fees charged by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreements to each Fund are reasonable.

In connection with assessing data bearing the fairness of fee arrangements, the Board used data from Lipper Analytical Services concerning funds of similar size and funds of larger size, as well as data concerning ICON’s other clients and noted that:
 
A. the advisory fee structures of the Funds were considered in comparison with advisory fees and expense ratios of other similarly managed funds as set forth in the comparative data;
 
B. contractual advisory fees of the Sector Funds were higher than fees for similar funds; but that the Sector Funds’ expense ratios were competitive and consistent with those of similarly managed Funds;
 
C. contractual advisory fees for the International Funds were above the average fees for similar funds; and that the Funds’ expense ratios were competitive in light of their size;
 
D. ICON has contractually agreed to impose expense limitations on certain Funds at a cost to ICON;
 
E. the advisory and other fees payable by the Funds to ICON are essentially fees which would be similar to those which would have resulted solely from “arm’s-length” bargaining, and may well be lower than fees arrived at solely from such arm’s-length negotiation;
 
F. the fees paid to ICON for managing other institutional accounts (such as pension plans) are not lower than the fees paid by similarly-managed funds; and to the extent such fees of those accounts are lower, the reasons why such accounts are less costly for ICON to manage; and
 
G. ICON has contractually committed to break points in it fees of the Sector Funds so that economies of scale could be realized as a Fund grows in assets, for the benefit of Fund shareholders.
 
In connection with the direct and indirect benefits to ICON from serving as the Funds’ adviser, the Board discussed and noted that:
 
A. ICON benefits from serving directly or through affiliates as the principal underwriter and administrative agent for the Funds; that services provided by ICON and its affiliates to the Funds are satisfactory, and that profits derived from providing the services are competitive and reasonable; and
 
B. ICON receives research assistance (primarily in the form of data) from the use of soft dollars generated from Fund portfolio transactions; that such research assists ICON in providing quality advisory services; and that the Board concluded that the arrangements are consistent with Fund brokerage practices and benefit the Funds and their shareholders

Based on these considerations, among others, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that: 1) the continuation of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders, 2) the services to be performed under the Advisory Agreement were required for the operation of the Funds, 3) the advisory services were satisfactory to the Funds in the past, and 4) the fees for the advisory services and other benefits from the relationship with the Trust received by ICON were consistent with fees paid by similar funds, other clients of ICON, reasonable in light of the comparative data, and within the range of what would have been negotiated at arm’s length in light of all the circumstances.

Historical Returns
 
All total returns mentioned in this Report account for the change in a Fund’s per-share price and the reinvestment of any dividends, capital gain distributions and adjustments for financial statement purposes. If your account is set up to receive Fund distributions in cash rather than to reinvest them, your actual return may differ from these figures. The Funds’ performance results do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. The Adviser may have reimbursed certain fees or expenses of some of the Funds. If not for these reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Fund results shown, unless otherwise indicated, are at net asset value. If a sales charge (maximum 5.75%) had been deducted, results would have been lower.
 
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance results represent past performance, and current performance may be higher or lower. Please call 1-800-764-0442 or visit www.iconfunds.com for performance results current to the most recent month-end.
 
Portfolio Data
 
This Report reflects ICON’s views, opinions and portfolio holdings as of September 30, 2010, the end of the reporting period. The information is not a complete analysis of every aspect of any sector, industry, security or the Funds.
 
Opinions and forecasts regarding industries, companies and/or themes, and portfolio composition and holdings are subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions, and should not be construed as a recommendation of any specific security, industry or sector. Each Fund’s holdings as of September 30, 2010 are included in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
 
While ICON’s quantitative investment methodology primarily considers company-specific factors beyond financial data, various company factors may impact a stock’s performance, and therefore, Fund performance. Investments in foreign securities may entail unique risks, including political, market, and currency risks. Financial statements of foreign companies are governed by different accounting, auditing, and financial standards than U.S. companies and may be less transparent and uniform than in the United States. Many corporate governance standards, which help ensure the integrity of public information in the United States, do not exist in foreign

countries. In general, there may be less governmental supervision of foreign stock exchanges and securities brokers and issuers. The ICON system relies on the integrity of financial statements released to the market as part of our analysis.
 
There are risks associated with mutual fund investing, including the loss of principal. The likelihood of loss may be greater if you invest for a shorter period of time. There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful results.
 
An investment in a region fund may involve greater risk and volatility than a diversified fund. An investment concentrated in sectors and industries may involve greater risk and volatility than a more diversified investment.
 
According to ICON, value investing is an analytical, quantitative approach to investing that employs various factors, including projecting earnings growth estimates, in an effort to determine whether securities are over- or underpriced relative to ICON’s estimates of their intrinsic value. Value investing involves risks and uncertainties and does not guarantee better performance or lower costs than other investment methodologies. ICON’s value-to-price ratio is a ratio of intrinsic value, as calculated using ICON’s proprietary valuation methodology, of a broad range of domestic and international securities within ICON’s system as compared to the current market price of those securities.
 
This Report contains statements regarding industry or sector themes, new market themes, investment outlook, relative strength, value-to-price ratios, and investment team expectations, beliefs, goals and the like that are based on current expectations, recent individual stock performance relative to current market prices, estimates of company values and other information supplied to the market by the companies we follow. Words such as “expects,” “suggests,” “anticipates,” “targets,” “goals,” “value,” “intrinsic value,” “indicates,” “believes,” “considers,” “estimates,” variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward looking statements, which are not statements of historical fact. Forward looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to assess. These risks and uncertainties are based on a number of important factors, including, among others: stock price fluctuations; the integrity and accuracy of historical and projected financial and other information supplied by companies to the public; interest rates; future earnings growth rates; the risks noted in this report and other factors beyond the control of our investment team. Therefore, actual outcome may differ materially from what is expressed in such forward looking statements.

Comparative Indexes
 
The comparative indexes discussed in this Report are meant to provide a basis for judging a Fund’s performance against specific securities indexes. Each index shown accounts for both change in the security price and reinvestment of dividends and distributions (except as noted), but does not reflect the costs of managing a mutual fund. The total return figures for the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) indexes assume change in security prices and the deduction of local taxes. The Funds’ portfolios may significantly differ in holdings and composition from the indexes. Individuals cannot invest directly in an index.
 
•   The unmanaged MSCI All Country Pacific Index comprises stocks traded in the developed and emerging markets of the Pacific Basin (Australia, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand). The capitalization-weighted index attempts to capture at least 60% of investable capitalization in those markets subject to constraints governed by industry representation, maximum liquidity, maximum float, and minimum cross-ownership.
 
•   The unmanaged MSCI Europe Index comprises approximately 600 stocks traded in developed markets from 15 European countries. The capitalization-weighted index attempts to capture at least 60% of investable capitalization in those markets subject to constraints governed by industry representation, maximum liquidity, maximum float, and minimum cross-ownership.
 
•   The MSCI All Country World Index ex-United States (“ACWI ex-U.S.”) is a leading unmanaged benchmark of international stock performance. The capitalization-weighted index is representative of the performance of securities of companies located in developed and emerging markets outside of the United States.
 
Index returns and statistical data included in this Report are provided by Bloomberg and FactSet Research Systems.

Message From ICON Funds
 
Dear Shareholder,
 
Although ICON’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, I write this letter in early November, pleased to report on the continued market rally that began in 2009. Between October 31, 2009 and October 31, 2010, the S & P 1500 Composite Index, a broad measure of the U.S. stock market, gained 17.7%. From October 31, 2008 to October 31, 2010, the S & P 1500 gained 29.8%. On the international side, the MSCI AWCI (ex- U.S.) gained 52.4% over the two years ended October 31, 2010 and 13.1% over the last 12 months. These rates of return are generally above historic averages for 12- or 24-month periods.
 
ICON’s valuation readings during fiscal year 2010 led us to minimize cash in our funds, allowing us to participate in the general market advance. If you are receiving this letter, you own an ICON Fund and we are pleased to report that you most likely participated in the market advance along with our other shareholders.
 
While stock prices continued to advance last year, mutual fund investors evidently remain skeptical about the prospects for equities. Nationwide, many investors have been redeeming their equity mutual funds and moving some of the proceeds into bond funds. This periodic but significant equity sell-off has made for a choppy, volatile upward trend in the overall market. What I said a year ago in our annual shareholder letter remains true today: we see valuation readings approaching levels not seen since late 2007, and we believe these valuations will take stock prices higher. Moreover, last year I reported that between September 30 through October 10, 2008, the S & P 1500 Index dropped 22.9% in eight trading days. Could the . . . recovery be a mirror image of the . . . collapse, with an equally dramatic upside? It’s possible, but unlikely in our opinion. Instead, a path of two steps forward and one step back is more likely. There remain a lot of jittery, skeptical investors who use advances as an opportunity to exit. To move higher, the market has to absorb or “take out” their shares. While valuations may justify price levels back to those seen at the peak in 2007, the path for stock prices may be a grind.
 
In retrospect, and in my opinion, this two steps forward/one step back rally is exactly what happened during fiscal year 2010. Prices moved higher and jittery investors helped create a volatile setting by selling into those market advances. As we said a year ago, the market had to absorb or “take out” anxious sellers in order to move higher. We expect more of the same over the next year as we still see domestic and international stocks to be priced far below our estimate of fair value. That value gap is the reason we anticipate prices will advance, while our expectations for future volatility are based on our belief that the remaining jittery investors will sell into the

advance. We believe the sellers will look back in a few years and regret their move out of equities.
 
The sell-offs and volatility of fiscal year 2010 resulted in dramatic industry theme reversals. Some industries led the market higher for six to eight weeks, only to get pummeled when the market subsequently, though temporarily, retreated. This has been a difficult setting for the ICON system, which is designed to identify and capture industry themes typically lasting one to two years. We believe the choppiness that distinguished the last 12- to 24-months is the temporary consequence of investors who are looking in their rear view mirrors and seeing the declines of 2007 - 2009. As we put that setting further behind us, the volatility and choppy nature of the recent advance will subside and we expect to return to a period characterized by the one- to two-year industry themes we’ve seen in the past.
 
Anecdotally, it seems investors have avoided equities and missed out on gains during the last two years for a variety of reasons, though at ICON we’ve seen timorous or would-be investors express these same anxieties time and again. Some investors worry about the unemployment rate and the fact that it hasn’t declined satisfactorily for them. Others worry about the federal government’s budget deficit, without being able to explain whether or how the deficit impacts the stock market. They just don’t like deficits. Some worry about inflation and deflation at the same time. Still others believe the excess supply of housing is of paramount concern. Many would-be investors worry about the consumer’s ability and willingness to spend in the future. Finally, some believe a weak dollar and staggering gold prices justify waiting on the sidelines.
 
While we understand these concerns, we contend they are not reason enough to stay out of the market. Barely four months ago, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average was roughly 1500 points lower than it was at the end of October, ICON had an overall value-to-price ratio (“V/P”) for domestic and international stocks in the 1.35 range. That is an extreme V/P by historical standards and suggests to us the worries listed above are already built into the market. That’s why stock prices were inexpensive, relatively speaking. Even after the rally through late October, our U.S. V/P is 1.17 and our international V/P is 1.27, suggesting bargains may be found both domestically and internationally. Over the last two years, our valuation readings have proven to be a much better guide for us than chasing the “worry of the week.”

In summary, it appears to me that the ’two steps forward/one step back’ recovery will continue. There is an old investment saying that “Wall Street climbs a wall of worry.” At this point, our valuation readings suggest to us stock prices will chart a path to scale that wall. Thank you for climbing it with us.
 
Yours truly,

Management Overview
ICON Asia-Pacific Region Fund
 
Q.  How did the Fund perform relative to its benchmark?
 
A.  The ICON Asia-Pacific Region Fund returned 18.02% for Class S shares and 17.74% for Class I shares (which were closed and liquidated on September 30, 2010) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, outperforming its benchmark, the MSCI All Country Pacific Index, which returned 8.92%. Class A shares of the Fund returned 17.91% (11.12% with maximum sales charge) during the same period. Class C shares of the Fund returned 17.02% for the fiscal year.
 
Q.  What primary factors were behind the Fund’s relative performance?
 
A.  In the 12-months ended September 30, 2010, the Asia-Pacific region continued to perform well relative to other regions. The 2010 fiscal year, much like 2009, was marked by significant volatility due to continued worries over future global growth prospects and sovereign debt concerns, highlighted by Greece’s debt crisis. The Fund, however, performed well both in absolute and relative terms, especially during the roughly four and a half months between the region’s late May lows and the fiscal year end.
 
Guided by ICON’s value and relative strength readings, the Fund reduced exposure to the Leisure/Consumer Staples, Health Care, and Consumer Discretionary sectors while increasing Financials, Telecommunications/Utilities, Materials, and Information Technology weightings. The primary drivers of positive relative performance were holdings in the Financials, Information Technology, and Industrials sectors.
 
In terms of country-level weightings, the most notable increases were to Australia, India, and Japan. Weights were reduced primarily in Hong Kong, China, and Taiwan. The primary drivers of positive relative performance came from the Fund’s underweighting in Japan and overweights in Thailand, China, Korea, and Singapore.
 
As a multi-cap manager, we do not consider investments based on market capitalization. Nonetheless, our valuations resulted in a shift away from small-cap companies into those of large-cap companies over the course of the fiscal year. Relative to its benchmark, however, the Fund remains significantly underweight large-cap stocks (the benchmark’s dominant market cap allocation), and significantly overweight mid-cap and small-cap stocks. The overweighting of mid-cap stocks in particular added the most in terms of relative performance.

Q.  How did the Fund’s composition affect performance?
 
A.  From an industry perspective, the Fund’s holdings in areas especially responsive to an economic recovery added the most in terms of relative performance. For example, diversified banks drove relative performance in the Financials sector, while electronic components added the most to outperformance in the Information Technology space. In Industrials, aerospace & defense contributed the most to that sector’s outperformance.
 
Though relatively small in terms of underperformance, Health Care was the only sector to lag the benchmark. The primary contributor to this sector’s underperformance came from holdings in the health care equipment industry.
 
From a country perspective, overweights in China and Thailand along with a significant underweight in Japan contributed positively to performance. The Fund’s overweight in Hong Kong slightly underperformed the benchmark.
 
Finally, the Fund employed a currency hedging strategy in an effort to hedge its exposure to the Taiwan Dollar and Korean Won. The results of this hedging strategy contributed modestly to the Fund’s overall performance this fiscal year.
 
Q.  What is your investment outlook for the Asia-Pacific equity market?
 
A.  At the end of the 2009 fiscal year, the Asia region’s value-to-price ratio (“V/P”) stood at 1.03, or very close to fair value. As of the close of fiscal year 2010, the regional V/P has improved to 1.29. This is very encouraging, and the valuation provides ICON reason to believe in the region’s potential as we head into 2011. The V/P is especially heartening in light of the fact that many Asian countries have been consistently tightening monetary policy and removing stimulus measures.
 
At fiscal year-end, the sectors that look the most promising under the ICON system include Information Technology, Consumer Discretionary, Materials, and Energy. We ended the fiscal year underweight the more defensive Telecommunications & Utilities and Leisure & Consumer Staples sectors.
 
From a country perspective, Korea, India, Malaysia, and China are the most attractive and have warranted increased weightings under our methodology. While Japan is our largest absolute weight by country, we remain significantly underweight relative to the benchmark. However we have been cautiously adding to Japan, as certain of its industries have begun to meet ICON’s investment criteria.

We continue to seek out industries we believe are trading at a discount to fair value and showing relative strength in the markets. Using value as a guide in our systematic and non-emotional discipline, we see numerous opportunities in the Asia-Pacific market as fiscal year 2010 comes to a close. We have long said it is nearly impossible to accurately time bottoms and, further, that rallies do not offer invitations. Given this philosophy, and the valuations we see in the market at fiscal year-end, we remain heavily invested, ready to reallocate and adapt as market conditions dictate.

Management Overview
ICON Europe Fund
 
Q.  How did the Fund perform relative to its benchmark?
 
A.  The ICON Europe Fund - Class S returned 6.40% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, outperforming the 3.23% return for the MSCI Europe Index. Class A shares of the Fund returned 6.16% (0.06% with maximum sales charge) over the same period with the Class C shares of the Fund returning 5.37%.
 
Q.  What primary factors were behind the Fund’s relative performance?
 
A.  Europe participated in the global recovery, yet its economic situation was weaker relative to other parts of the world. Economic growth improved as a whole, but high unemployment and fiscal concerns from peripheral euro-zone countries tempered expectations.
 
The period opened with the European region priced at 11% below our calculation of intrinsic value. After a strong equity rally that began in March 2009, the regional benchmark followed a relatively choppy and sideways path for the first half of the fiscal year. Concerns about the deteriorating fiscal situations in countries like Greece, Spain, and Portugal led to greater uncertainty regarding the sustainability of the global economic recovery as a whole. Government bond yields as well as corporate bond credit spreads declined as accommodative monetary policy measures (notably, lowering short term interest rates) were utilized to assist in the fledgling recovery.
 
May 2010 brought a formalized European Union bailout plan to help Greece meet its future financing needs, while requiring a number of fiscal austerity measures from Greece in return. The region witnessed large losses leading up to the bailout announcement, as equity markets sold off in April and May amidst the looming uncertainty surrounding Greece and other countries facing similar fiscal difficulties. As the European market bottomed in May, better than expected economic results helped lead an upward, yet volatile, recovery in equities. And, as equities recovered, so did government yields and corporate credit spreads. The narrowing of these spreads ultimately had a positive impact on our intrinsic valuations for the region’s underlying stocks. As the rally continued toward the end of the fiscal year, we saw value increase along with stock prices. With value and prices both surging higher, we ended this period with stocks trading at a 27% discount to our estimate of

intrinsic value, representing the best bargains of all regions across the globe.
 
Foreign currency exchange rates oscillated in a fairly dramatic fashion over the course of the fiscal year as well. The U.S. dollar strengthened relative to most of the major European currencies during this period as investors fled to perceived safer havens amidst the region’s economic and fiscal difficulties. The subsequent rally in equities led to a reversal of this trend, however, as risk aversion abated among many investors and money flowed back toward arguably riskier assets after the Greece bailout. This action ultimately bolstered the strength of the underlying European currencies for the latter part of the fiscal year.
 
Q.  How did the Fund’s composition affect performance?
 
A.  The Fund’s composition over the year generally reflected the market’s recovery-based theme. The largest increases in sector weighting went towards the Industrials sector, which contributed the most to positive relative performance for the overall period. Leisure & Consumer Staples industries, including benchmark-overweights in areas such as brewers and agricultural products, contributed positively to Fund returns as well. Underweighting the Energy and Telecommunications & Utilities sectors (specifically, the integrated oil & gas and electric utilities industries, respectively), contributed to positive relative performance as these areas saw losses for the fiscal year.
 
Financials saw a gradual decrease in portfolio weight - a consequence of the region’s sovereign fiscal difficulties. In fact, Financials was the worst performing sector of the nine sectors we track and the Fund suffered losses throughout its Financials holdings largely due to the timing of its multi-line insurance and asset management & custody banks industries sales. Health Care industries, including health care supplies and biotechnology, detracted from relative performance for this period as well. Currency hedging in the British Pound also detracted from performance as the currency strengthened in the latter part of fiscal year. As a whole, currency forwards used for hedging had a slightly negative effect, yet their net effect was immaterial to the overall Fund returns.
 
Regarding country composition, an overweight position in Turkey, Switzerland and Norway helped performance, but the Fund’s underweight holdings in the United Kingdom detracted from relative performance.
 
Q.  What is your investment outlook for the European equity market?
 
A.  Our analysis suggests there is considerable upside to the European region in spite of the rally in equity prices that began on May 25, 2010. We

estimate that, on average, fair value for European equities is 37% higher than where prices are currently trading. According to our calculations, Europe has the best values when compared to all other regions we track globally. We believe the recovery-based market theme that emerged in 2009 remains in place, with sectors like Industrials and Consumer Discretionary continuing to show relative strength throughout these dramatic market movements.
 
With value as our core investment tenet, we look for potential leaders where the market trades at a deep discount relative to our estimation of intrinsic value. While not showing much relative strength, the defensive Health Care sector shows the best value under our calculations. Moreover, as of fiscal year-end, industries within the Consumer Discretionary and Industrials sectors show the best combination of value and relative strength.
 
We believe it is nearly impossible to accurately time market bottoms and we have long preached that rallies do not issue invitations. Using value as a guide in our disciplined, systematic and non-emotional approach to investing, we see opportunities amidst the turbulence and volatility. We continue to work methodically in an effort to identify the industries we believe are both trading at a discount to fair value and showing relative strength in the markets. Our valuations at the end of the fiscal year dictate that we remain nearly fully invested, but we will adjust accordingly as market conditions require.

The above graph compares a $10,000 investment made in the Fund’s Class S shares on the Class’ inception date of 2/20/97 to a $10,000 investment made in an unmanaged securities index on that date. The Fund’s performance in this chart and the performance table assumes the reinvestment of dividends, capital gain distributions and tax return of capital, but does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.

Management Overview
ICON International Equity Fund
 
Q.  How did the Fund perform relative to its benchmark?
 
A.  For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, the ICON International Equity Fund returned 10.44% for Class I shares, 10.88% for Class Q shares, 10.78% for Class S shares and 10.87% for Class Z shares, outperforming the 8.00% return of the MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI) ex-U.S., the Fund’s benchmark. Class A shares of the Fund returned 10.38% (4.00% with maximum sales charge) during the same period. Class C shares of the Fund returned 9.65% for the fiscal year.
 
Q.  What primary factors were behind the Fund’s relative performance?
 
A.  The fiscal year built on the recovery-themed rally that started on March 9, 2009, but it ultimately led to a volatile, sideways 12-month period. The Asia-Pacific region, highlighted by China, India and Thailand, performed relatively better than the European and Western Hemisphere regions. Europe struggled with benign growth and a sovereign debt crisis involving deteriorated fiscal situations with eurozone countries. The Asia-Pacific region led the worldwide recovery throughout this period, as improving economic conditions led central banks to actually tighten monetary policy to better manage and moderate future growth and inflation in many countries. In general, those sectors, industries, and stocks that were affiliated with these leading economies saw superior relative returns over this period.
 
The most significant reallocation in the Fund during the period was a decreased weighting in Europe, more specifically in the region’s Financials sector. The rotation out of that region was allocated mostly to emerging market countries within the Asia-Pacific and Western Hemisphere regions. This portfolio positioning existed at the beginning of the period, yet became more pronounced as the year went on. We favored the Industrials and Consumer Discretionary sectors, as our models indicated they showed the best combination of value and relative strength.
 
As a multi-cap manager, we do not consider investments based on market capitalization. Nonetheless, our valuations resulted in a concentration in mid- to small-cap companies during the period. These allocations were overweight the predominantly large-cap benchmark, and the overweighting of small-cap stocks in particular benefited performance as large-cap stocks underperformed during this period.

 
 
 
28 Management Overview

Currency movements worldwide throughout the fiscal year had a slightly positive effect on returns. The U.S. dollar experienced a rebound in the first eight months of this period, as worldwide risk aversion stemming from Europe’s sovereign crisis and global recovery doubts led to selling foreign currencies with a corresponding rise in demand for U.S. dollars. As fears abated, however, this trend reversed and portfolio currencies in the Asia-Pacific and Western Hemisphere countries recovered relative to the U.S. dollar, thus benefitting Fund shareholders. The Fund engaged in selective currency hedging throughout the year, and the net effect from such moves was positive but ultimately immaterial to the overall Fund returns.
 
Q.  How did the Fund’s composition affect performance?
 
A.  The Fund’s overweighting of the Industrials sector proved to be the most beneficial contributor to relative performance. The industrial conglomerates and construction & farm machinery & heavy trucks industries were particularly strong. Additionally, larger relative exposures in the Consumer Discretionary sector benefitted returns as apparel accessories & luxury goods and homebuilding stocks outpaced the benchmark. The packaged foods & meats industry also contributed significantly as Asia-Pacific names outperformed as well.
 
Conversely, the Health Care sector was a major detractor, as this group suffered losses within the Fund during the last 12 months. Further, the multi-line insurance and asset management & custody banks industries within the Financials sector also hindered returns as stocks within these industries lagged the benchmark over this period.
 
Emerging markets outperformed over the entire period after strong participation in the recovery-based rally that began in early 2009. As such, the Fund’s positions in countries like Thailand, Turkey, China, and South Korea contributed positively to performance. Meanwhile, Belgium, France, and Spain were the main detractors over this period.
 
Q.  What is your investment outlook for the international equity market?
 
A.  Amid the volatility seen over the past year, we still see opportunity in the worldwide equity markets. These markets have experienced periods of turmoil and recovery over the past three years and the representative companies have adjusted to ever-changing worldwide economic conditions. Interest rates remain low, however, monetary policy is loose and accommodative, and corporate earnings and balance sheets are showing signs of improvement. We believe these are all positive signs for stocks going forward. As we close out fiscal year 2010, we estimate that,

 
 
 
Management Overview 29


Table of Contents

on average, fair value for international equities is 31% higher than where prices are currently trading. Europe, where equities are trading at a 37% upside to our estimate of fair value, is showing the best bargains globally.
 
We believe the recovery-based market theme that continued in 2010 remains in place, with the Industrials, Consumer Discretionary, and Materials sectors showing the best combinations of value and relative strength amid the current market environment. Our value-based calculations suggest that leadership could be imminent in the Health Care and Telecommunications & Utilities sectors, but our relative strength metrics have not yet confirmed that expectation.
 
While we do not target countries as a primary investment decision, it is a secondary factor we monitor. The Asia-Pacific region, which includes China, South Korea and India, remains the most attractive region under our system. Within the Western Hemisphere, Brazil and Canada look attractive and Germany currently leads in the European region.
 
At ICON we are doing what we have always done by seeking out industries we believe are both trading at a discount to fair value and showing relative strength in the markets. Using value as a guide in our disciplined, systematic and non-emotional approach to investing, we see opportunities amid the recent turbulence and volatility. We believe it is nearly impossible to accurately time market bottoms and we believe rallies do not offer invitations. Therefore, given our current valuations, we remain almost fully invested. As market conditions dictate, we will adjust accordingly.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Information about these performance results and the comparative indexes can be found in the About This Report section. The Fund’s name and investment strategy changed effective January 29, 2004. The Fund’s past performance would have been different if the current strategy had been in effect. The Adviser has agreed to limit certain Fund expenses; without these limitations, returns would have been lower. The limitation provisions may be terminated in the future. Class Z shares are available only to grandfathered and institutional investors.
 
Please see the most recent prospectus for details.
 
Class C total returns exclude applicable sales charges. If sales charges were included returns would be lower.

(LINE GRAPH)
 
Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. The above graph compares a $10,000 investment made in the Fund’s Class Z shares on the Class’ inception date of 2/18/97 to a $10,000 investment made in an unmanaged securities index on that date. Performance for the Fund’s other share classes will vary due to differences in charges and expenses. The Fund’s performance in this chart and the performance table assumes the reinvestment of dividends, capital gain distributions and tax return of capital, but does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.

1. Organization
 
The ICON Asia-Pacific Region Fund (“Asia-Pacific Region Fund”), ICON Europe Fund (“Europe Fund”) and ICON International Equity Fund (“International Equity Fund”) are series funds (individually a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Funds are part of the ICON Funds (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end investment management company. The Asia-Pacific Region Fund and the Europe Fund each have three classes of shares: Class S, Class C, and Class A. Class Z shares of the Asia-Pacific Region Fund and Class I and Z shares of the Europe Fund closed on September 15, 2010. Class I shares of the Asia-Pacific Region Fund closed on September 30, 2010. The International Equity Fund has six classes of shares: Class S, Class I, Class C, Class Z, Class A, and Class Q. Class Q shares are closed to new investors. All classes have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges except that each Class may bear different distribution fees, registration costs, legal costs, mailing and printing costs and shareholder servicing costs and each Class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan. There are currently fourteen other active Funds within the Trust. Those Funds are covered by separate prospectuses and shareholder reports.
 
Each Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of no par shares. The Funds primarily invest in foreign securities; the Asia-Pacific Region Fund and the Europe Fund primarily invest in companies whose principal business activities fall within specific regions. The investment objective of each Fund is to provide long-term capital appreciation.
 
The Funds may have elements of risk, including the risk of loss of principal. There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful results. An investment concentrated in sectors and industries may involve greater risk and volatility than a more diversified investment. Investments in foreign securities and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of U.S. dollar-denominated transactions as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of lower government supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets and the possibility of political or economic instability. Financial statements of foreign companies are governed by different accounting, auditing, and financial standards than U.S. companies and may be less transparent and uniform than in the United States. Many corporate governance standards, which help ensure the integrity of public information

in the United States, may not exist in some foreign countries. In general, there may be less governmental supervision of foreign stock exchanges and securities brokers and issuers. There are also risks associated with small-and mid-cap investing, including limited product lines, less liquidity, and small market share.
 
The Asia-Pacific Region Fund has a significant weighting in Japan which may cause the Fund’s performance to be susceptible to the economic, business and/or other developments that may affect that country.
 
In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into various agreements that provide for general indemnifications. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as any potential exposure involving future claims that may be made against each Fund is unknown. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be minimal.
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
 
Investment Valuation
 
The Funds’ securities and other assets, excluding options on securities indexes, are valued as of the closing price at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) (normally 4 p.m. Eastern Standard Time) each day the NYSE is open, except that securities traded primarily on the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) are normally valued by the Funds at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price provided by NASDAQ each business day. Options on securities indexes are valued at the close of the Chicago Board Options Exchange (normally 4:15 p.m. Eastern Standard Time) on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading.
 
The Funds use pricing services to obtain the market value of securities in their portfolios; if a pricing service is not able to provide a price, or the

 
 
 
Notes to Financial Statements 51


Table of Contents

 
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
 
pricing service’s valuation quote is considered inaccurate or does not reflect the market value of the security, prices may be obtained through market quotations from independent broker/dealers. If market quotations from these sources are not readily available, the Funds’ securities or other assets are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (“Board”) or pursuant to procedures approved by the Board.
 
Lacking any sales that day, a security is valued at the current closing bid price (or yield equivalent thereof) or based on quotes obtained from dealers making a market for the security. Options are valued at their closing mid-price on the market with the most volume. Mid-price is the average of the closing bid and closing ask prices. Debt securities with a remaining maturity of greater than 60 days are valued in accordance with the evaluated bid price supplied by the pricing service. The evaluated bid price supplied by the pricing service is based upon a matrix valuation system which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities and ratings. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market value. Currency rates as of the close of the NYSE are used to convert foreign security values into U.S. dollars.
 
The Funds’ securities traded in countries outside of the Western Hemisphere are fair valued daily by utilizing the quotations of an independent pricing service, unless the Board determines that use of another valuation methodology is appropriate. The purposes of daily fair valuation are to avoid stale prices and to take into account, among other things, any significant events occurring after the close of foreign markets. The pricing service uses statistical analyses and quantitative models to adjust local market prices using factors such as subsequent movements and changes in the prices of indexes, securities and exchange rates in other markets to determine fair value as of the time a Fund calculates its net asset value (“NAV”). The valuation assigned to fair-value securities for purposes of calculating a Fund’s NAV may differ from the security’s most recent closing market price and from the prices used by other mutual funds to calculate their NAVs.
 
Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.
 
Various inputs are used to determine the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
 
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

 
 
 
52 Notes to Financial Statements


Table of Contents

 
 
Level 2 — significant observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk).
 
Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs.
 
Observable inputs are those based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Funds, and unobservable inputs reflect the Funds’ own assumptions based on the best information available. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, non-U.S. equity securities actively traded in foreign markets generally are reflected in Level 2 despite the availability of closing prices, because the Funds evaluate and determine whether those closing prices reflect fair value at the close of the NYSE or require adjustment, as described above. The following table summarizes the Funds’ investments, based on the inputs used to determine their values on September 30, 2010:

Foreign Currency Translation
 
The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated daily into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange. Income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions. Purchases and sales of securities are translated into U.S. dollars at the contractual currency exchange rates established at the time of each trade.
 
The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments and foreign currency translations arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, resulting from changes in the exchange rates and changes in market prices of securities held.
 
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
 
The Funds’ use of derivatives for the year ended September 30, 2010 was limited to forward foreign currency contracts.
 
The Funds may enter into short-term forward foreign currency contracts. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between contracting parties to exchange an amount of currency at some future time at an agreed upon rate. The Funds may use forward foreign currency contracts to manage foreign currency exposure with respect to transactional hedging, positional hedging, cross hedging and proxy hedging.
 
These contracts involve market risk and do not eliminate fluctuations in the prices of portfolio securities or prevent losses if the prices of those securities decline. The Funds could be exposed to risk if the value of the currency changes unfavorably. Additionally, the Funds could be exposed to counterparty risk if the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the contracts.
 
These contracts are marked-to-market daily. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent disposition of foreign currencies, and the difference between the amount recorded at the time of the transaction and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. Any realized gain or loss incurred by the Funds due to foreign currency translation is included on the Statement of Operations. At September 30, 2010, the Asia-Pacific Region Fund, Europe Fund and International Equity Fund had outstanding

Table of Contents

 
 
The Funds value derivatives at fair value, as described below, and recognize changes in fair value currently in the results of operations. Accordingly, the Funds do not follow hedge accounting even for derivatives employed as economic hedges.
 
Securities Lending
 
Under procedures adopted by the Board, the Funds may lend securities to non-affiliated qualified parties. The Funds seek to earn additional income through securities lending. There is the risk of delay in recovering a loaned security. The Funds do not have the right to vote on securities while they are on loan; however, the Funds may attempt to call back the loan and vote the proxy.
 
All loans will be continuously secured by collateral which consists of cash. The cash collateral is invested in the State Street Navigator Prime Portfolio and is disclosed on the Schedule of Investments. The lending fees received and the Funds’ portion of the interest income earned on cash collateral are included on the Statement of Operations, if applicable.
 
As of September 30, 2010, the following Funds had securities with the following values on loan:
 
                 
    Value of
    Value of
 
Fund   Loaned Securities     Collateral  
   
ICON Asia-Pacific Region Fund
  $ 12,810,319     $ 13,461,291  
ICON Europe Fund
    3,051,568       3,200,415  
ICON International Equity Fund
    8,760,476       9,154,966  
 
The value of the collateral above could include collateral held for securities that were sold on or before September 30, 2010. It may also include collateral received from the pre-funding of loans.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Funds intend to qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and, accordingly, the Funds will generally not be subject to federal and state income taxes, or federal excise taxes to the extent that they intend to make sufficient distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains.
 
Dividends paid by the Funds from net investment income and distributions of net realized short-term gains are, for federal income tax purposes, taxable as ordinary income to shareholders.

 
 
 
Notes to Financial Statements 57


Table of Contents

 
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
 
Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Funds on the ex-dividend/distribution date. The Funds distribute income and net realized capital gains, if any, to shareholders at least annually, if not offset by capital loss carryforward. The Funds may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes and designate earnings and profits, including net realized gains distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares, as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements.
 
The Funds file U.S. tax returns. While the statute of limitations remains open to examine the Funds’ U.S. tax returns filed for the past four years, no examinations are in progress or anticipated at this time. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
 
Certain foreign countries impose a tax on capital gains which is accrued by the Funds based on the unrealized appreciation, if any, on affected securities. Any accrual would reduce a Fund’s NAV. The tax is paid when the gain is realized.
 
Investment Income
 
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Funds are informed of the dividend if such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the life of the respective securities.
 
Investment Transactions
 
Security transactions are accounted for no later than one business day after the trade date. However, for financial reporting purposes, security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

Allocation of Income and Expenses
 
Each class of a Fund’s shares bears expenses incurred specifically on its behalf and, in addition, each class bears a portion of general expenses, based upon relative net assets of each class. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a specific Fund in the Trust are apportioned between all Funds in the Trust based upon relative net assets. In calculating the net asset value per share of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses other than class-specific expenses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets.

For the year ended September 30, 2010, the total related amounts paid by the Trust under this arrangement are included in Other Expenses on the Statements of Operations.
 
Some of the distribution amounts received by IDI, discussed in the Distribution Fees section above, have been used to offset various shareholder servicing costs incurred by ICON Advisers. For the year ended September 30, 2010, this amount was $6,911.

6. Federal Income Tax
 
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from accounting principles that are generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are due to differing treatments for items such as net short-term gains, deferrals of wash sale losses, foreign currency transactions, net investment losses, and capital loss carryforwards.
 
The tax components of capital shown in the following tables represent losses or deductions the Funds may be able to offset against income and gains recognized in future years and post October loss deferrals. The accumulated losses noted represent net capital loss carryforwards as of September 30, 2010 that may be available to offset future realized capital gains and thereby reduce future taxable income distributions.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of the ICON Funds:
 
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ICON Asia-Pacific Region Fund, ICON Europe Fund, and ICON International Equity Fund (three of the portfolios constituting ICON Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at September 30, 2010, and the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at September 30, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Six Month Hypothetical Expense Example
September 30, 2010 (unaudited)
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of a Fund you may pay two types of fees: transaction fees and fund-related fees. Certain funds charge transaction fees, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees. Funds also incur various ongoing expenses, including management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses, which are indirectly paid by shareholders.
 
This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the various ICON Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the six-month period (4/1/10-9/30/10).
 
Actual Expenses
 
The first line in the table for each Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. The Example includes, but is not limited to, management fees, 12b-1 fees, fund accounting, custody and transfer agent fees. However, the Example does not include client specific fees, such as the $15 fee charged to IRA accounts, or the $15 fee charged for wire redemptions. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for each Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
 
The second line in the table for each Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your

ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees that may be charged by other funds. Therefore, this information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreements
 
On August 9, 2010, the Board of Trustees, including all of the Trustees that are not “interested persons” of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), approved continuation of the advisory agreements between ICON Funds (the “Trust”) and ICON Advisers, Inc. (“ICON” or the “Adviser”) - the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement dated October 9, 1996, as amended (related to the Sector, International and Core Equity Funds) and under the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement dated July 9, 2002 and effective October 1, 2002, as amended (related to the U.S. Diversified Funds - Bond, Risk-Managed Equity, Equity Income and Long/Short Funds) (collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”), for an additional one-year term commencing October 1, 2010.
 
In determining to renew the Advisory Agreements the Board requested, was provided with and reviewed data with respect to ICON, its personnel, and the services to be provided to each Fund by ICON. The data included information concerning advisory, distribution and administrative services provided to the Funds by ICON and its related companies; information concerning other businesses of those companies; comparative data related to exchange traded funds versus the Sector Funds; and comparative data obtained from Lipper Analytical Services related to Fund performance and Fund expenses (the “Lipper report”). Management also provided an AthenaInvest investment style analysis relating to the Funds. Management personnel discussed the data for and with those present. Included in the discussion was a briefing on the sales and marketing initiatives, the different classes of shares being offered by the Trust and efficiencies in connection with administering services to the Funds/various classes of shares.
 
The Independent Trustees were represented by independent legal counsel throughout the process. Prior to acting on the matter, the Independent Trustees met separately as a group in private sessions with their independent legal counsel to review and discuss the foregoing information. Based on these discussions, independent legal counsel and/or the Lead Independent Trustee also contacted management to request additional information and to discuss responses to questions raised during the process. In addition, the Independent Trustees received materials from their independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards applicable to their consideration of the agreement.
 
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board reviewed information relating to ICON’s operations and personnel. Among other things, the Adviser provided biographical

 
 
 
Other Information 73


Table of Contents

information on its professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. In the course of their deliberations the Board evaluated, among other things, information relating to the investment philosophy, strategies and techniques used in managing each Fund, the qualifications and experience of ICON’s investment personnel, ICON’s compliance programs, ICON’s brokerage practices, including the extent to which the Adviser obtains research through “soft dollar” arrangements with the Funds’ brokerage, and the financial and non-financial resources available to provide services required under the Advisory Agreements.
 
During the discussion, the Lipper report was discussed and management personnel showed performance for each fund and discussed the factors affecting performance. Management noted that ICON modified the valuation methodology at the end of 2008 to better account for systemic risk. ICON implemented the modified valuation methodology in February 2009. During the discussion, management personnel noted that the markets over the past year have been very volatile; that when the market is volatile, relative strength readings are also volatile; that volatility has affected ICON’s performance; and that this had been the case for much of the last year for the Funds. It was also noted that poor quality stocks with low relative strength lead the market whereas higher quality stocks with higher relative strength have not performed as well; and that the market volatility and the relative strength component to our methodology have produced mixed results. In this regard it was noted that many other value managers have had challenges in this market. In the discussion, the Adviser advised that it continues to believe the adjustments to its system have been functioning as intended, and as this period of volatility stabilizes the funds will benefit; and that the Adviser is constantly evaluating the system and will modify it as needed.
 
In connection with reviewing data bearing upon the nature, quality, and extent of services furnished by ICON to each Fund, the Board assessed data concerning ICON’s staffing, systems and facilities. The Board also assessed ICON’s non-Trust business to see if there are any initiatives that would dilute service to the Trust. The Board noted:
 
A. That the breadth and the quality of investment advisory and other services being provided to each Fund is satisfactory, as evidenced in part by efforts to address and improve the performance record of each Fund when compared with the performance records of a peer group of comparable funds and markets in general;
 
B. That ICON has made significant expenditures in the past year and in prior years to ensure that it has the sophisticated systems and the highly trained personnel necessary for it to be able to continue to provide

 
 
 
74 Other Information


Table of Contents

quality service to the Funds’ shareholders, including the dedication of substantial resources to ICON’s investment and trading departments;
 
C. That the Board is satisfied with the research, portfolio management, and trading services, among others, being provided by ICON to the Funds; and
 
D. The risks assumed by ICON in providing investment advisory services to each Fund including the capital commitments which have been made in the past and which continue to be made by ICON to ensure the continuation of the highest quality of service to the Trust is made with the recognition that the Trust’s advisory relationship with ICON be terminated at any time and must be renewed on an annual basis.
 
In considering the reasonableness of the fee payable to the Adviser for managing each Fund, the Board reviewed, among other things, data concerning other funds from the Lipper report, financial statements of the Adviser and an analysis of the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates of their relationship with each Fund over various time periods, which analysis identified all revenues and other benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates from managing each Fund, the costs associated with providing such services and the resulting profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates.
 
The Board considered the current and anticipated asset levels of each Fund and the willingness of the Adviser to reimburse expenses of the Funds from time to time, in connection with the contractual expense limitation agreement, to limit the total expenses of the Funds. In this regard the Board discussed significantly reduced asset levels in each fund covered by the Advisory Agreements due to the tumultuous markets during the past two and a half years, to relative poor Fund performance (prior to the adjustment to the Advisers system in early 2009), and to industry wide net-redemptions in reaction to the tumultuous markets. ICON’s ability to provide the services called for under the Advisory Agreements was assessed in light of current and projected asset levels. Fund expenses and expense ratios were also assessed in light of current and projected asset levels. The Board concluded that the Adviser has the resources necessary to provide the services called for under the Advisory Agreements; that profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds is not excessive; and that the Adviser is not realizing material benefits from economies of scale that would warrant adjustments to the fees for any Fund at this time. The Board of Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and the levels of profitability associated with providing these services, the fees charged by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreements to each Fund are reasonable.
 
In connection with assessing data bearing the fairness of fee arrangements, the Board used data from Lipper Analytical Services concerning funds of

Table of Contents

similar size and funds of larger size, as well as data concerning ICON’s other clients and noted that:
 
A. the advisory fee structures of the Funds were considered in comparison with advisory fees and expense ratios of other similarly managed funds as set forth in the comparative data;
 
B. contractual advisory fees of the Sector Funds were higher than fees for similar funds; but that the Sector Funds’ expense ratios were competitive and consistent with those of similarly managed Funds;
 
C. contractual advisory fees for the International Funds were above the average fees for similar funds; and that the Funds’ expense ratios were competitive in light of their size;
 
D. ICON has contractually agreed to impose expense limitations on certain Funds at a cost to ICON;
 
E. the advisory and other fees payable by the Funds to ICON are essentially fees which would be similar to those which would have resulted solely from “arm’s-length” bargaining, and may well be lower than fees arrived at solely from such arm’s-length negotiation;
 
F. the fees paid to ICON for managing other institutional accounts (such as pension plans) are not lower than the fees paid by similarly-managed funds; and to the extent such fees of those accounts are lower, the reasons why such accounts are less costly for ICON to manage; and
 
G. ICON has contractually committed to break points in it fees of the Sector Funds so that economies of scale could be realized as a Fund grows in assets, for the benefit of Fund shareholders.
 
In connection with the direct and indirect benefits to ICON from serving as the Funds’ adviser, the Board discussed and noted that:
 
A. ICON benefits from serving directly or through affiliates as the principal underwriter and administrative agent for the Funds; that services provided by ICON and its affiliates to the Funds are satisfactory, and that profits derived from providing the services are competitive and reasonable; and
 
B. ICON receives research assistance (primarily in the form of data) from the use of soft dollars generated from Fund portfolio transactions; that such research assists ICON in providing quality advisory services; and that the Board concluded that the arrangements are consistent with Fund brokerage practices and benefit the Funds and their shareholders
 
Based on these considerations, among others, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that: 1) the continuation of the Advisory

Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders, 2) the services to be performed under the Advisory Agreement were required for the operation of the Funds, 3) the advisory services were satisfactory to the Funds in the past, and 4) the fees for the advisory services and other benefits from the relationship with the Trust received by ICON were consistent with fees paid by similar funds, other clients of ICON, reasonable in light of the comparative data, and within the range of what would have been negotiated at arm’s length in light of all the circumstances.

Historical Returns
 
All total returns mentioned in this Report account for the change in a Fund’s per-share price and the reinvestment of any dividends, capital gain distributions and adjustments for financial statement purposes. If your account is set up to receive Fund distributions in cash rather than to reinvest them, your actual return may differ from these figures. The Funds’ performance results do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. Fund results shown, unless otherwise indicated, are at net asset value. If a sales charge (maximum 5.75%) had been deducted, results would have been lower.
 
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance results represent past performance, and current performance may be higher or lower. Please call 1-800-764-0442 or visit www.iconfunds.com for performance results current to the most recent month-end.
 
Portfolio Data
 
This Report reflects ICON’s views, opinions and portfolio holdings as of September 30, 2010, the end of the reporting period. The information is not a complete analysis of every aspect of any sector, industry, security or the Funds.
 
Opinions and forecasts regarding industries, companies and/or themes, and portfolio composition and holdings are subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions, and should not be construed as a recommendation of any specific security, industry or sector. Each Fund’s holdings as of September 30, 2010 are included in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
 
According to ICON, value investing is an analytical, quantitative approach to investing that employs various factors, including projecting earnings growth estimates, in an effort to determine whether securities are over- or underpriced relative to ICON’s estimates of their intrinsic value. Value investing involves risks and uncertainties and does not guarantee better performance or lower costs than other investment methodologies. ICON’s value-to-price ratio is a ratio of intrinsic value, as calculated using ICON’s proprietary valuation methodology, of a broad range of domestic and international securities within ICON’s system as compared to the current market price of those securities. The ICON system relies on the integrity of financial statements released to the market as part of our analysis.

 
 
 
About This Report


Table of Contents

This Report contains statements regarding industry or sector themes, new market themes, investment outlook, relative strength, value-to-price ratios, and investment team expectations, beliefs, goals and the like that are based on current expectations, recent individual stock performance relative to current market prices, estimates of company values and other information supplied to the market by the companies we follow. Words such as “expects,” “suggests,” “anticipates,” “targets,” “goals,” “value,” “intrinsic value,” “indicates,” “believes,” “considers,” “estimates,” variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward looking statements, which are not statements of historical fact. Forward looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to assess. These risks and uncertainties are based on a number of important factors, including, among others: stock price fluctuations; the integrity and accuracy of historical and projected financial and other information supplied by companies to the public; interest rates; future earnings growth rates; the risks noted in this Report and other factors beyond the control of our investment team. Therefore, actual outcome may differ materially from what is expressed in such forward looking statements.
 
There are risks associated with mutual fund investing, including the loss of principal. The likelihood of loss may be greater if you invest for a shorter period of time. There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful results.
 
An investment concentrated in sectors and industries may involve greater risk and volatility than a more diversified investment. Investments in foreign securities may entail unique risks, including political, market, and currency risks. Financial statements of foreign companies are governed by different accounting, auditing, and financial standards than U.S. companies and may be less transparent and uniform than in the United States. Many corporate governance standards, which help ensure the integrity of public information in the United States, do not exist in foreign countries. In general, there may be less governmental supervision of foreign stock exchanges and securities brokers and issuers.
 
The prospectus and statement of additional information contain this and other information about the Funds and are available by visiting www.iconfunds.com or calling 1-800-764-0442. Please read the prospectus and statement of additional information carefully.
 
Comparative Indexes
 
The comparative indexes discussed in this Report are meant to provide a basis for judging the Funds’ performance against specific securities indexes.

 
 
 
About This Report 3


Table of Contents

Message From ICON Funds
 
Dear Shareholder,
 
Although ICON’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, I write this letter in early November, pleased to report on the continued market rally that began in 2009. Between October 31, 2009 and October 31, 2010, the S&P 1500 Composite Index, a broad measure of the U.S. stock market, gained 17.7%. From October 31, 2008 to October 31, 2010, the S&P 1500 gained 29.8%. On the international side, the MSCI AWCI (ex- U.S.) gained 52.4% over the two years ended October 31, 2010 and 13.1% over the last 12 months. These rates of return are generally above historic averages for 12- or 24-month periods.
 
ICON’s valuation readings during fiscal year 2010 led us to minimize cash in our funds, allowing us to participate in the general market advance. If you are receiving this letter, you own an ICON Fund and we are pleased to report that you most likely participated in the market advance along with our other shareholders.
 
While stock prices continued to advance last year, mutual fund investors evidently remain skeptical about the prospects for equities. Nationwide, many investors have been redeeming their equity mutual funds and moving some of the proceeds into bond funds. This periodic but significant equity sell-off has made for a choppy, volatile upward trend in the overall market. What I said a year ago in our annual shareholder letter remains true today: we see valuation readings approaching levels not seen since late 2007, and we believe these valuations will take stock prices higher. Moreover, last year I reported that between September 30 through October 10, 2008, the S&P 1500 Index dropped 22.9% in eight trading days. Could the . . . recovery be a mirror image of the . . . collapse, with an equally dramatic upside? It’s possible, but unlikely in our opinion. Instead, a path of two steps forward and one step back is more likely. There remain a lot of jittery, skeptical investors who use advances as an opportunity to exit. To move higher, the market has to absorb or “take out” their shares. While valuations may justify price levels back to those seen at the peak in 2007, the path for stock prices may be a grind.
 
In retrospect, and in my opinion, this two steps forward/one step back rally is exactly what happened during fiscal year 2010. Prices moved higher and jittery investors helped create a volatile setting by selling into those market advances. As we said a year ago, the market had to absorb or “take out” anxious sellers in order to move higher. We expect more of the same over the next year as we still see domestic and international stocks to be priced far below our estimate of fair value. That value gap is the reason we

anticipate prices will advance, while our expectations for future volatility are based on our belief that the remaining jittery investors will sell into the advance. We believe the sellers will look back in a few years and regret their move out of equities.
 
The sell-offs and volatility of fiscal year 2010 resulted in dramatic industry theme reversals. Some industries led the market higher for six to eight weeks, only to get pummeled when the market subsequently, though temporarily, retreated. This has been a difficult setting for the ICON system, which is designed to identify and capture industry themes typically lasting one to two years. We believe the choppiness that distinguished the last 12- to 24-months is the temporary consequence of investors who are looking in their rear view mirrors and seeing the declines of 2007 - 2009. As we put that setting further behind us, the volatility and choppy nature of the recent advance will subside and we expect to return to a period characterized by the one- to two-year industry themes we’ve seen in the past.
 
Anecdotally, it seems investors have avoided equities and missed out on gains during the last two years for a variety of reasons, though at ICON we’ve seen timorous or would-be investors express these same anxieties time and again. Some investors worry about the unemployment rate and the fact that it hasn’t declined satisfactorily for them. Others worry about the federal government’s budget deficit, without being able to explain whether or how the deficit impacts the stock market. They just don’t like deficits. Some worry about inflation and deflation at the same time. Still others believe the excess supply of housing is of paramount concern. Many would-be investors worry about the consumer’s ability and willingness to spend in the future. Finally, some believe a weak dollar and staggering gold prices justify waiting on the sidelines.
 
While we understand these concerns, we contend they are not reason enough to stay out of the market. Barely four months ago, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average was roughly 1500 points lower than it was at the end of October, ICON had an overall value-to-price ratio (“V/P”) for domestic and international stocks in the 1.35 range. That is an extreme V/P by historical standards and suggests to us the worries listed above are already built into the market. That’s why stock prices were inexpensive, relatively speaking. Even after the rally through late October, our U.S. V/P is 1.17 and our international V/P is 1.27, suggesting bargains may be found both domestically and internationally. Over the last two years, our valuation readings have proven to be a much better guide for us than chasing the “worry of the week.”
 
In summary, it appears to me that the ‘two steps forward/one step back’ recovery will continue. There is an old investment saying that “Wall Street

climbs a wall of worry.” At this point, our valuation readings suggest to us stock prices will chart a path to scale that wall. Thank you for climbing it with us.

Management Overview

ICON Consumer Discretionary Fund
 
Q.  How did the Fund Perform relative to its benchmark?
 
A.  The Fund underperformed its benchmark for the period. The Fund’s Class S shares rose 20.61%, while the benchmark S&P 1500 Consumer Discretionary Index rose 22.93%.
 
Q.  What primary factors influenced the Fund’s relative performance during the period?
 
A.  Despite ongoing macro economic problems, Consumer Discretionary stocks moved significantly higher over the period. With the unemployment rate rising to 10.1% and access to credit remaining tight, retail sales nonetheless managed to move steadily higher over the period off their late 2008 collapse.
 
Consumer confidence also held steady as measured by the Consumer Board Confidence Index. This Index, which goes back to 1968 and surveys individuals about their confidence in the economy six months forward, ended the period at a value of 48.50. To put that number into context, the Index hit its all time low of 25.30 in February 2009 just before the stock market began its explosive rally in March of that same year. By May 2009 it had risen to 54.80 before dropping to 46.40 in February 2010. Although the Index closed the period well below its historical average of 94.40 it did remain well above its February 2009 low and higher than its February 2010 level. The stabilization in this Index may have positively impacted the market’s view of the sector.
 
It appeared the market began scooping up consumer related issues in anticipation of improving consumer spending. The Consumer Discretionary sector led the 10 sectors tracked by Standard & Poor’s over the period. While the Fund participated in most of the strong rally in this sector, the extreme volatility in the market was problematic for ICON’s relative strength investment component. We use relative strength to complement our value based investment methodology. We believe relative strength helps us identify industries that display leadership compared to the broader market over a six-month period. In market settings with extreme volatility, however, industry leadership can change rapidly, creating a difficult environment for ICON’s investment methodology.
 
Market conditions were volatile over the course of the fiscal year and Consumer Discretionary holdings were even more erratic than the market as a whole. For the 12-months ended September 30, 2010, the beta for

 
 
 
Management Overview


Table of Contents

the S&P 1500 Consumer Discretionary Index was 1.20 versus the broad based S&P 1500 Index. Thus, the sector was quite volatile even relative to the already volatile market. In this setting, sharp, quick industry reversals are not uncommon and these abrupt changes had a negative impact on the Fund’s performance. That said, the Fund was significantly less volatile than its benchmark, the S&P 1500 Consumer Discretionary Index, with a beta of .74 for the period. As a result, the Fund generated a positive alpha for the fiscal year even though it slightly underperformed its benchmark on an absolute basis.
 
Q.  How did the Fund’s Composition affect performance?
 
A.  At ICON we focus on industry selection based on value and relative strength. When we identify industries we believe have value and are leading the market higher, we naturally tilt our sector fund to those industries. Within the Consumer Discretionary Fund we track 24 separate industries. Over the past year, over- and underweight industry positions had a significant impact on the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark.
 
On the positive side, there were a number of industries that performed well relative to the S&P 1500 Consumer Discretionary Composite Index. The Fund was overweight the apparel retail industry by about 10% for the period. This concentrated position contributed about 2% percent to the Fund’s relative performance. Another significantly overweight industry was general merchandise stores. This industry was about 11% overweight relative to the benchmark. The concentrated position contributed about 1% to the Fund’s relative performance.
 
On an absolute basis, the apparel retail and general merchandise industries made up about 32% of the Fund on average during the fiscal year. Thus, the concentrated positions in these two industries paid off. Other large industry positions that contributed to positive relative performance were automotive retail and footwear. These two positions accounted for about 17% of the Fund on average for the period and contributed approximately .84% to relative performance.
 
On the flipside, there were also a number of industry positions that detracted from the Fund’s relative performance. Some of those industries included home improvement retail, advertising, education services and computer & electronics retail. These industries combined accounted for about 14% of the Fund on average for the period. They detracted about 2.6% from relative Fund performance. The Fund’s position in the internet retail industry detracted the most from relative performance. The position was about 5% underweight on average for the period relative to the

benchmark. The underweight position detracted about 1.6% from relative performance as the industry was up significantly over the period.
 
Investment Outlook
 
The average stock we track in the Consumer Discretionary sector was about 16% undervalued based on our model at the end of the fiscal period. Even with the significant gains in the sector over the past year, we still believe upside potential exists.
 
While macro economic conditions remain quite uncertain, our model suggests the market has punished Consumer Discretionary stocks too hard, pricing them below our estimation of their intrinsic value. With earnings growth rate estimates remaining strong for the sector, our bottom up stock by stock evaluation tells a different story than the top down macro economic fears that currently saturate the news headlines. As a result, we continue to see upside potential in the Consumer Discretionary sector. The Fund has maintained significant overweight positions in both the general merchandise stores and apparel retail industries. These industries begin the new fiscal period undervalued according to the ICON system, with about 40% and 25% upside potential respectively.

Management Overview
ICON Energy Fund
 
Q.  How did the Fund perform relative to its benchmarks?
 
A.  For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, the ICON Energy Fund Class S returned -0.17%, lagging its sector-specific benchmark, the S&P 1500 Energy Index, which gained 5.20%, and its broad benchmark, the S&P Composite 1500 Index, which gained 10.92%.
 
Q.  What primary factors were behind the Fund’s relative performance?
 
A.  At least three separate disasters had a deleterious effect on the Energy Fund’s holdings, impacting performance. In April 2010, for example, Massey Energy accounted for nearly 3% of the Fund. When disaster struck Massey Energy’s Upper Big Branch Mine in West Virginia on April 5, the stock dropped over 11%. It would eventually lose nearly two-thirds of its value by June. The Fund likewise held Alliance Resource Partners, a security which lost over 20% of its value following a fatal accident at a coal mine operated by its subsidiary. While these events adversely affected two securities held by the Fund, the Macondo deepwater rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico would have even greater consequences for Fund performance. At the time of the explosion, on April 20, 2010, the Energy Fund had positions in Transocean (which owned the oil rig (Transocean’s value plunged 21% within nine trading days of the disaster)), British Petroleum (which leased the rig (BP fell 17% in the same time frame)) and Halliburton (which installed part of the rig (Halliburton fell 9% in nine days)). The Fund closed out its positions in Transocean and BP in April and May respectively. Our methodology guided us to trim, but not eliminate entirely, our position in Halliburton.
 
In the wake of the Gulf of Mexico disaster, between April 23, 2010 and May 24, 2010, the S&P 1500 fell nearly 12%. The Energy Index was harder hit, however, falling almost 16%. The damage to the Energy sector was spread across the board and affected numerous positions held by the Fund.
 
The Fund was hindered also by the volatility in the price of crude oil. While the spot price of WTI crude rose just 13% between September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2010, the price fluctuated considerably during those 12-months. Uncertainty surrounding the strength of the economic recovery, coupled with a rising dollar led the price of oil to fall to $65.96 per barrel on the 24th of May. Just six weeks earlier, oil reached its high for the year to date at $86.84 per barrel. As the US dollar fell

Table of Contents

and anxieties over a double dip recession abated, oil gained 21% off the May lows to close at $79.97 a barrel. The Energy Index, by comparison, rose less than 9% between May 24, 2010 and the end of the Fiscal year.
 
Q.  How did the Fund’s composition affect performance?
 
A.  Two industries in particular contributed negatively to the Fund’s relative performance: oil & gas drilling and oil & gas equipment and services. In the wake of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, the United States government issued a moratorium on off-shore drilling and otherwise reevaluated the oil and gas drilling regulatory landscape. The Fund was adversely affected because of its exposure to certain companies within this industry. The Fund suffered also because of its limited exposure to companies in the oil & gas equipment and services industry, an industry that gained a weighted average of 11.31% in the S&P 1500 Energy Index during the fiscal year.
 
The Fund’s tilt toward the coal & consumable fuels industry made the greatest contribution to performance, regulatory scrutiny notwithstanding. The Fund was overweight this industry, with a weighted average holding during the fiscal year of approximately 6% compared to the Energy Index’s 2.4% average. The coal & consumable fuels stocks in our portfolio generated an approximate 28% return for the Fund - more than double this industry’s returns for the Energy Index. On the other hand, the Fund’s overweight position in oil & gas refining & marketing proved to be a drag on performance.
 
Finally, the Fund’s use of derivatives contributed to overall performance. Over the course of the fiscal year, as we saw value thin in the Energy sector, the Fund established defensive put positions in an effort to offset some of the effects of a market downturn. The Fund bought puts on ETFs and individual stocks and while this strategy may have sacrificed some upside potential, the Fund nonetheless benefited from the put positions.
 
Q.  What is your investment outlook for the Energy sector?
 
A.  We remain optimistic about the growth potential in the Energy space. According to our calculations, as of fiscal year-end the Energy sector has an overall value-to-price ratio of 1.26, suggesting that fair value for Energy stocks as a whole is roughly 26% higher than where prices are currently trading. We believe this valuation provides a great opportunity for the Energy sector in general and the Energy Fund in particular. Accordingly, we remain fully invested, although we are prepared to respond appropriately if our valuations change.

Management Overview
ICON Financial Fund
 
Q.  How did the Fund perform relative to its benchmarks?
 
A.  The ICON Financial Fund Class S lost 5.11% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, lagging its sector-specific benchmark, the S&P 1500 Financials Index, which lost 0.46%. The Fund, in addition, lagged its broad benchmark, the S&P Composite 1500 Index, which gained 10.92%.
 
Q.  What primary factors were behind the Fund’s relative performance?
 
A.  The Financials sector lagged the equity market for a second year in a row, as concerns over this country’s economic stability weighed heavily on investors. While the largest banks have generally repaid the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) monies extended to them, some 600 smaller banks have yet to repay their approximately $65 billion in TARP funds. The FDIC reported that 172 banks failed during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, as bad debt issues continued to plague our nation’s banks. These failures continued a theme begun during fiscal year 2009 when over 100 banks failed.
 
The other diversified financial services industry and the diversified banks industry weighed heavily on the S&P 1500 Financials Index (and, by extension, the Fund), returning -16.6% and -7.0% respectively for the Index for the fiscal year end, as trading volume in the equities market slowed and hurt profits. This slowdown likewise had a material effect on the investment banking & brokerage industry which declined 20.6% on a weighted average basis over the same time period. For fiscal year 2010, the stock market averaged 1.19 billion shares per day. By way of comparison, it averaged 1.46 billion shares per day for fiscal year 2009.
 
In a year that proved very difficult for most larger banks, the thrifts & mortgage finance industry and the regional banks industry both gained over 7% during the fiscal year. In spite of these gains (significant though they were within the Financials sector), the industries, and the sector as a whole, were not able to keep pace with the greater than 10% return in the broader market.
 
Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) proved to be a bright spot in a sector which otherwise struggled in fiscal year 2010. The S&P US REIT Composite Index rose 30.55% during the period. Although the Fund had exposure to mortgage REITs, we otherwise had no exposure to this industry, as it had a low valuation under the ICON system. REITs comprised approximately 12% of the Financials Index during the fiscal

year and our lack of exposure proved a considerable drag on performance.
 
Q.  How did the Fund’s composition affect performance?
 
A.  The Fund suffered because of its lack of exposure to REITs. As investors flocked to REITs, the underlying prices of these securities exceeded their fair value, making REITs ineligible for purchase under ICON’s methodology. During the fiscal year, REITs made up 12% of the Financials Index on a weighted average basis, while the Fund’s exposure was limited to a weighted average position of approximately 1.4% in mortgage REITs. The Fund’s lack of exposure to specialized REIT industries alone equated to a nearly 1% lag relative to the benchmark as these stocks gained a weighted average of 29% during the year.
 
The Fund’s performance was affected also by its life & health insurance industry holdings. The Fund was overweight this industry by about 8% relative to the benchmark. As the market fell from its April highs, however, the decline in life & health insurance outpaced the broader index an additional 7.3% between April 23 and May 20. This industry downturn alone created a greater than .30% lag to the Fund’s benchmark.
 
On the positive side, the Fund’s diversified banks industry holdings contributed to Fund performance during this fiscal year. The Fund established an overweight position in this industry at 16% versus 10.6% in the Financials Index. The Fund’s diversified banks holdings outperformed the Index’s diversified banks holdings by nearly 6.5%. In addition, the Fund was overweight the consumer finance industry, and the Fund’s consumer finance holdings rose approximately 30% during the course of the fiscal year. As noted earlier, the other diversified financial services industry took a big hit during fiscal year 2010. We benefitted from being underweight this industry. The Fund’s positions in each of the industries noted in this paragraph helped performance relative to the benchmark.
 
Q.  What is your investment outlook for the Financials sector?
 
A.  At fiscal year end we estimate the overall market has a value-to-price ratio (“V/P”) of 1.26, suggesting to us that many opportunities are available to investors. The Financials sector itself has a V/P of 1.29, indicating even greater potential for investors interested in Financials. We are optimistic that the economy will continue to improve, and as that occurs, we intend to take advantage of the rally.

Management Overview
ICON Healthcare Fund
 
Q.  How did the Fund perform relative to its benchmarks?
 
A.  For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, the Fund’s sector-specific benchmark, the S&P 1500 Health Care Index, returned 9.51%, and its broad benchmark, the S&P Composite 1500 Index, returned 10.92%. The ICON Healthcare Fund Class S trailed both benchmarks, gaining 5.39% during the same period.
 
Q.  What primary factors were behind the Fund’s relative performance?
 
A.  The Health Care sector faced a great deal of uncertainty this past year as a result of the debate and passage of the national health care reform by Congress. Throughout the first half of the year, Health Care lagged the broad market. Debate in Congress fueled a great deal of speculation about the fiscal impact of reform, causing investors to become timid toward the sector. Uncertainty over the reform’s specifics and their effect on the private sector made most health care equities undesirable to investors. Perhaps surprisingly, passage of the legislation in March brought little change to the equity markets. After a slight lag during the weeks following the passage, Health Care stocks kept pace with the market, but this rally proved too little too late and the sector index ended the year underperforming the broad market.
 
The equity market was highly volatile and saw multiple bust/boom cycles within the course of just one year. Identifying long term industry themes during this period was difficult, as industry leadership shifted every few months. Still, two industries within the sector took particularly strong leadership over the course of the year. Pharmaceuticals and managed health care both stood out as sector leaders due to strong earnings reports and upward future growth revisions. Managed care companies reacted positively to the rally in the early half of the year, exceeding the S&P Health Care Index by 20% from October 30, 2009 to January 19, 2010. The success of pharmaceuticals, on the other hand, was more reliant on individual companies’ reports of new drug approvals or merger announcements and occurred gradually throughout the year. The biotechnology industry, however, detracted from the sector and was the only industry that ended the year with negative returns. Losses in the large-cap biotech companies were a result of poor profit outlooks and drug testing delays.

Q.  How did the Fund’s composition affect performance?
 
A.  The ICON investment strategy directs us to weight industries based on our estimation of their value and relative strength. Our funds are tilted towards industries (and, ultimately, securities) that have outperformed the broad market over the previous six months, and which we identify as being priced below fair value. Throughout the entire year, Health Care ranked number one among all the sectors in terms of value, with almost all of the industries possessing a value-to-price ratio (“V/P”) greater than 1.00 for the entire course of the year. Due to the abundance of value within the sector, most industry concentrations were largely predicated upon the relative strength component of the model. Pharmaceuticals and health care services were the Fund’s largest overweights.
 
The Fund’s concentration on the pharmaceutical industry contributed positively to the returns relative to the benchmark. Smaller cap companies, such as Medicis Pharmaceutical Company (MRX) and Perrigo Co. (PRGO) contributed positively to returns due to strong earnings and approvals of new drugs.
 
The Fund’s overweight position in the health care services industry proved to be a drag on performance. An announcement in July concerning a sharp reduction in Medicare payments for medical equipment took a large toll on the industry’s profit forecasts. Downward revisions and dismal growth predictions caused holdings like Lincare Holdings Inc. (LNCR) and Amedisys (AMED) to fall sharply, thus greatly detracting from the Fund’s performance.
 
Q.  What is your investment outlook for the Healthcare sector?
 
A.  Looking forward to the next year, the Health Care sector continues to position itself as the most undervalued of the nine sectors we track. Our calculations indicate the Health Care sector has significant upside potential, trading at a 35% discount to our measure of the sector’s intrinsic value.
 
The pharmaceuticals and managed health care industries in particular show strong value potential and remain the Fund’s most heavily weighted industries. Another emerging theme heading into the new year is the biotechnology industry. All three industries currently show V/Ps greater than 1.30.

Management Overview
ICON Industrials Fund
 
Q.  How did the Fund perform relative to its benchmarks?
 
A.  The ICON Industrials Fund Class S gained 19.40% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, while its sector-specific benchmark, the S&P 1500 Industrials Index, gained 18.79%, and the S&P Composite 1500 Index gained 10.92%.
 
Q.  What primary factors were behind the Fund’s relative performance?
 
A.  In spite of fiscal year 2010 beginning on the heels of a 76% rally, the Industrials sector was able to post a good year as the manufacturing segment of the economy maintained positive growth. While the end of year return was strong, the market charted a volatile path as economic uncertainty remained a persistent theme during the entire period. We believe the U.S. economy experienced two distinct phases during this fiscal year. The first part of the year saw strength in the manufacturing sector of the economy as companies continued the inventory rebuilding process that historically leads an economic recovery. This brought on two strong quarters of GDP growth and positive equity returns as both the S&P 1500 and S&P 1500 Industrials Index produced double digit returns. Historically, periods of inventory rebuilding and manufacturing growth are typically followed by the emergence of the consumer as the economic recovery takes hold. Consumer deleveraging and persistent levels of high unemployment stalled this recovery, however, and the second half of the year presented a significant decline in GDP growth. Fortunately, the Fed reacted aggressively to this slowdown in economic activity and we ended the fiscal year with the strongest September for equities since 1939.
 
Our analysis suggests the Industrials sector itself experienced three distinct phases during the fiscal year. The year began with a strong 26% rally over approximately seven months as the manufacturing sector continued to grow and economic prospects showed promise. We fully participated in this rally for the first six months while valuations remained solid under our system. As prices rose closer to our estimate of fair value, however, we positioned the Fund defensively in anticipation of a downturn. Consequently, we lagged during the final month of the rally. The rally reversed quickly, as thinning valuations and regulatory concerns caused the S&P 1500 Industrials Index to drop almost 17% in just over two months. We were able to outperform during this downturn as we responded cautiously to our lower valuation readings. The last three

months of the fiscal year finished strong and the Industrials Index rose 16% between July 6, 2010 and September 30, 2010. The ICON Industrials Fund was able to outperform its sector-specific benchmark during these final months by just over 1.2%.
 
Q.  How did the Fund’s composition affect performance?
 
A.  Industry returns in the S&P 1500 Industrials Index demonstrate how volatile this past fiscal year has been, as the best performing industry, construction & farm machinery & heavy trucks, outperformed the worst industry, construction & engineering, by over 60%.
 
The top industry contributors to the Fund’s performance during fiscal year 2010 were railroads, construction & farm machinery & heavy trucks, aerospace & defense, industrial machinery, and industrial conglomerates. Railroads, which was the top contributor, is heavily tied to the commodity space and benefited from strong overseas demand.
 
Top industry detractors from the Fund’s performance during fiscal year 2010 were construction & engineering, diversified support services, office services & supplies, and research & consulting services. All four industries, with the exception of construction & engineering, are not heavily tied to the growth of the economy and, as to be expected, lagged during this time of expansion.
 
Q.  What is your investment outlook for the Industrials sector?
 
A.  At the close of the fiscal year, the Industrials sector had a value-to-price ratio of 1.23, which gives us confidence about the prospect for future opportunities. However, domestic GDP expectations have been cut to 2.7% for 2010 and 2.5% for 2011, and the manufacturing segment of the economy is beginning to show signs of fatigue. Fortunately, many Industrials companies have used the downturn to establish strong balance sheets and position themselves to grow in spite of a slowdown in the domestic economy. On a sector basis, the Industrials sector exhibits the 4th highest weighted average dividend yield within the S&P 1500 Index. Because of these qualities, we continue to regard the Industrials sector as one of our favorite spaces within the domestic market.

Management Overview
ICON Information Technology Fund
 
Q.  How did the Fund perform relative to its benchmark?
 
A.  The Fund’s Class S shares underperformed its benchmark for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010. The Fund’s Class S shares returned 3.91%, while its benchmarks, the S&P 1500 Information Technology Composite Index, rose 11.22% and the NASDAQ Composite rose to 12.61%. The Fund underperformed the broad index, the S&P Composite 1500, which gained 10.92% for the fiscal year.
 
Q.  What primary factors influenced the Fund’s relative performance during the period?
 
A.  The past 12-months have seen a volatile market with a high turnover rate of industry leadership. The fiscal year started out strong with a generally positive earnings season and the promise of continued stimulus spending. However, the markets took a sharp dive after a mid-January announcement of financial reform legislation and negative employment reports. This brief downturn was followed by a rally in which the Dow Jones Industrials Index rose 13% in a little over two months. These gains were soon erased, however, as investors reacted to the news of economic troubles in Europe with a massive sell-off. The markets ended a turbulent fiscal year with positive gains. Nonetheless, the abrupt shifts in the market were a major contributor to the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark, as the volatility made identifying long term industry themes difficult.
 
The Information Technology sector is heavily influenced by its large-cap companies. The 10 largest companies in the sector compose just under 60% of the S&P 1500 Information Technology Index. Accordingly, these companies have a tremendous impact on the sector’s returns. This year saw a wide range of success for these major players. The computer hardware industry was the greatest contributor to the sector’s performance, entirely due to the success of Apple. With the release of two highly successful products, the iPad and iPhone 4, Apple’s shares gained enough value to allow the company to overcome Microsoft as the most valuable tech company in the world. Apple’s gains alone added 4.20% to the sector’s 11.22% in returns. This shift in leadership reflects a greater trend of the market’s shift from business needs to consumer tastes. Microsoft, on the other hand, had negative returns for the year due to poor earnings reports and forecasts. Another large-cap name, Intel Corp., also underperformed for the year. Microsoft and Intel were a significant distraction to the performance of the index.

Q.  How did the Fund’s composition affect performance?
 
A.  One of the largest single detractors of the Fund was Hewlett-Packard. The computer maker was plagued with multiple management scandals and lawsuits, causing its shares to end the period with more than a 10% loss. Because Hewlett-Packard was such a large portion of the benchmark and the Fund, performance was greatly affected by these events.
 
The data processing & outsourced services industry was also a large detractor of returns over the period, due to the new financial reform and regulation passed by Congress. Companies such as Visa and MasterCard were faced with new rate and fee regulations that negatively affected their earnings and profit potential. The Fund was heavily overweight in this industry based upon ICON’s strong valuations and its industry leadership prior to this legislation, and suffered significant losses after the reform was announced.
 
The Fund did make sizeable gains in the systems software industry. Favorable timing in the reduction of Microsoft holdings before losses later in the year, as well as a large position in Oracle Corp., allowed the Fund to outperform the benchmark within this industry.
 
Q.  What is your investment outlook for the Information Technology Sector?
 
A.  As the Fund enters the new fiscal year, we see the Information Technology sector as approximately 26% undervalued, about the same as the broad market. Currently 11 out of the sector’s 17 industries show both strong leadership and value under the ICON system, creating opportunities for investment. The Fund is currently positioned with concentrated positions in IT consulting and electronic components.

Q.  How did the Fund perform relative to its benchmarks?
 
A.  The ICON Leisure and Consumer Staples Fund Class S gained 11.56% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010. The Fund underperformed the S&P 1500 Consumer Staples Index, which returned 13.16% and trailed the S&P 1500 Consumer Discretionary Index, which returned 22.93%. Although neither index is an ideal comparison, together they provide a suitable reference for the Fund’s overall performance in its sectors.
 
The Fund outperformed its broad benchmark, the S&P Composite 1500 Index, which returned 10.92% over the same period.
 
Q.  What primary factors were behind the Fund’s relative performance?
 
A.  The Consumer Discretionary sector led the equity market with the largest gains for the year, greatly outperforming the broad market. Consumer staples, on the other hand, had more modest gains, with returns in line with the broad market. The ICON Leisure and Consumer Staples Fund has the ability to invest in two different market sectors. Roughly 70% of the stocks available to the Fund from ICON’s database are from the Staples sector, which was in line with the Fund’s exposure to this space in fiscal year 2010.
 
While the gains of the Consumer Discretionary Index were impressive, most of its outperformance came from non-leisure industries such as internet retail and automobile manufacturers. As calculated using ICON’s valuations and relative strength readings, it appears most leisure industries either lacked value or had been hit especially hard during the times of market decline. With ICON’s model favoring Staples industries, the Fund was able to remain less volatile than the broad market. This was a welcome advantage in a year with multiple theme shifts and market conditions.
 
Q.  How did the Fund’s composition affect performance?
 
A.  The Fund’s performance was most positively influenced by five industries: personal products, tobacco, packaged meats & food, movies & entertainment, and cable & satellite. This leadership emerged out of industries from both the Staples and Discretionary sectors.
 
Personal products were the stand-out contributor to the Fund this year, with approximately 4.5% of the Fund’s total returns coming from this industry alone. Names like Herbalife and Nu Skin Enterprises reported

consistently strong earnings and growth estimates. Entertainment stocks also led the sector as the industry reported a record breaking movie season and increased cable viewership.
 
The only industry that significantly detracted from the Fund’s performance was drug retail. The two names in the industry both stumbled due to poor earnings reports and negatively revised earnings forecasts. In October 2009, CVS Caremark saw its largest one-day drop in 8 years after disclosing news of an FTC antitrust investigation and the loss of $3.7 billion in pharmacy benefit contracts.
 
Q.  What is your investment outlook for the Leisure and Consumer Staples sector?
 
A.  The Fund enters a new fiscal year with a continuation of the themes from earlier in 2010. Personal products and cable & satellite continue to show value and leadership, and agricultural products and brewers are also emerging as industry leaders. Leisure and Consumer Staples ranks as the second most undervalued sector of the nine sectors we track, with most of the value appearing in the Staples industries. As of fiscal year end, we have identified a handful of industries in the Leisure sector as being overpriced. Therefore, we anticipate increasing our position in the Staples industries in the near future unless conditions change and dictate otherwise.

Management Overview
ICON Materials Fund
 
Q.  How did the Fund perform relative to its benchmarks?
 
A.  The ICON Materials Fund Class S gained 13.92% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, while its sector-specific benchmark, the S&P 1500 Materials Index, gained 12.05%, and the S&P Composite 1500 Index gained 10.92%.
 
Q.  What primary factors were behind the Fund’s relative performance?
 
A.  In spite of fiscal year 2010 beginning on the heels of a 79% rally, the Materials Sector was able to post a strong year as overseas growth contributed to this heavily cyclical segment of the economy. While the end of year return was strong, the market charted a volatile path as economic uncertainty remained a persistent theme during the entire period. We believe the U.S. economy experienced two distinct periods during this fiscal year. The first part of the year saw strength in the manufacturing sector of the economy as companies continued the inventory rebuilding process that historically leads an economic recovery. Manufacturing brought on two strong quarters of GDP growth as both the S&P 1500 and S&P 1500 Materials Index returned around 12%. Historically, periods of inventory rebuilding and manufacturing growth are typically followed by the emergence of the consumer as the economic recovery takes hold. Consumer deleveraging and persistent levels of high unemployment stalled this recovery, however, and the second half of the year presented a significant decline in GDP growth. Fortunately, the Fed reacted aggressively to this slowdown in economic activity and we ended the fiscal year with the strongest September for equities since 1939.
 
Our analysis suggests the Materials sector itself experienced five distinct phases during the fiscal year. The year began with a 13% rally in just over three months as economic prospects showed continued promise. We did not see significant value going into this rally and slightly lagged because of this. The rally reversed quickly in January as thinning valuations and regulatory concerns caused the S&P 1500 Materials Index to drop over 13% in a month. We anticipated this downturn and positioned the portfolio appropriately, thereby outperforming the Index during the sector’s decline. Going into February 2010 we had a value-to-price ratio (“V/P”) of 1.20 in the Materials sector, suggesting good potential for future positive returns. The Materials Sector subsequently rallied almost 20% over the next couple of months. While we were able to fully participate during the first month of this move, valuations thinned as the

rally continued and we lagged during the full time period. Valuations dipped again in late April and the market responded as we thought it might, falling over 19% in just over 2 months. As we did earlier, we anticipated this downturn and adjusted the portfolio accordingly, thus outperforming the market during this period of decline. The last three months of the year finished strong and the Materials Index rose approximately 18% between July 6, 2010 and September 30, 2010. The ICON Materials Fund was able to outperform its sector-specific benchmark during these final months by over 2%.
 
Q.  How did the Fund’s composition affect performance?
 
A.  Industry returns in the S&P 1500 Materials Index demonstrate how volatile this past fiscal year has been as the best performing industry, gold, outperformed the worst industry, fertilizers & agricultural chemicals, by almost 70%. This divergence contributed significantly to the outperformance of the ICON Materials Fund as we were overweight gold & underweight fertilizers & agricultural chemicals during the fiscal year.
 
The top industry contributors to the Fund’s performance during fiscal year 2010 were gold, diversified chemicals, specialty chemicals, diversified metals & mining, and railroads. While the railroad industry is actually considered to be part of the Industrials sector, the industry’s strong tie to commodity products and relative outperformance made it an attractive addition to the Materials Fund.
 
Top industry detractors from the Fund’s performance included the fertilizers & agricultural chemicals, steel, aluminum and metal & glass container industries. As stated above, fertilizers detracted from overall performance during the time period, but our relative underweight actually helped us outperform the S&P 1500 Materials Index.
 
Q.  What is your investment outlook for the Materials sector?
 
A.  At the close of the fiscal year, the Materials sector had a V/P of 1.25, giving us confidence about the prospect for future returns. While domestic GDP expectations have been cut to 2.7% for 2010 and 2.5% for 2011, emerging markets like China are still projecting double digit growth in 2010 and growth above 8% in 2011. With a significant portion of revenues tied to overseas growth, we believe companies within the Materials sector are better positioned to benefit from this decoupling of the world economy from the United States. As economic prospects may change going forward, we will continue to follow our systematic

Q.  How did the Fund perform relative to its benchmarks?
 
A.  The ICON Telecommunication & Utilities Fund Class S gained 11.16% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, underperforming the 12.98% return for the S&P 1500 Utilities Index and underperforming the 18.71% gain for the S&P 1500 Telecommunication Services Index. Although neither sector-specific benchmark is an ideal comparison, together they provide a suitable reference for the Fund’s overall performance in its sectors.
 
Additionally, the Fund outperformed its broad benchmark, the S&P Composite 1500 Index, which gained 10.92% over the same period.
 
Q.  What primary factors were behind the Fund’s relative performance?
 
A.  Rapid theme reversals were a key factor in the Fund’s relative performance over the year. For the first half of the fiscal year, the S&P 1500 Utility Index led, rising 4.82% versus 2.89% for the S&P 1500 Telecommunication Services Index. Both sectors held good value, but the Fund allocated close to 70% of its holdings, on average, to the Utilities sector with its greater relative strength.
 
During the second half of the fiscal year however, the S&P 1500 Telecommunication Services Index was the clear leader gaining 15.38% versus just 7.7% for the S&P 1500 Utility Index. Although the Fund shifted resources to the Telecommunication sector, the allocation did not allow the Fund to keep up with the S&P 1500 Telecommunication Services Index’s strong performance over the fiscal year.
 
The Fund’s broad strategy, however, has allowed it to perform well over longer periods of time. Indeed, the Fund continues to outperform both indices on a 10-year and since inception basis.
 
Q.  How did the Fund’s composition affect performance?
 
A.  In general, the Fund’s Utilities sector allocations detracted from performance while allocations toward the Telecommunication sector aided performance. Specifically, the Fund’s significant weighting toward the electric utility industry hampered performance. The Fund allocated approximately 31% of its assets on average to electric utilities and although the Fund’s selected stocks outperformed the 8.56% return generated from the S&P 1500 Electric Utility Index, the allocation as a

whole detracted from relative performance considering the 18.71% return generated from the S&P 1500 Telecommunication Services sector. The Fund received significant positive contributions from both its approximate 28% and 7% average weighting toward selected multi-utility and gas utility stocks which on average rose around 18.7 % and 26.6% respectively. Overall, however, the Fund’s Utilities holdings detracted from its performance against the S&P 1500 Telecommunication Services Index.
 
The Fund was aided again by a significant 22% approximate weighting toward the integrated telecommunication services industry. The industry was led by 22.7% and 12.9% respective gains from Verizon and AT&T, the Fund’s two largest holdings. This allocation was not enough, however, to outperform the S&P 1500 Telecommunication Services Index which held an average 87.36% weighting in the industry.
 
Q.  What is your investment outlook for the Telecommunication & Utilities sectors?
 
A.  As described above, the Telecommunication & Utilities sectors were subject to significant theme reversals. With the threat of cap and trade legislation, dividend tax rate increases and a strong belief in a V-shaped recovery, the broader market significantly outpaced both sectors. Between September 30, 2009 and April 23, 2010, the S&P Composite 1500 rose 17.32% versus an 8.55% return for the S&P 1500 Utility Index and a 3.95% return for the S&P 1500 Telecommunications Index. As investors began to price in the possibility of a slower recovery and reduced probabilities for both cap and trade legislation and significant dividend tax increases, the Telecommunication & Utilities sectors found favor again. From April 23, 2010 to September 30, 2010, the S&P 1500 Telecommunication Services Index rose 14.36% and the S&P 1500 Utilities Index gained 4.08%, significantly outperforming the S&P Composite 1500’s 5.46% loss. As the fiscal year ends, both sectors look promising under ICON’s methodology. Given the favorable historical valuations in the Telecommunication & Utilities sectors, their strong recent relative strength versus the broader market, and the continued possibility of a slow recovery and moderate regulation, we would expect the sectors to continue to perform well.

Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2010
 
1. Organization
 
The ICON Consumer Discretionary Fund, ICON Energy Fund, ICON Financial Fund, ICON Healthcare Fund, ICON Industrials Fund, ICON Information Technology Fund, ICON Leisure and Consumer Staples Fund, ICON Materials Fund, and ICON Telecommunication & Utilities Fund are series funds (individually a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Funds are part of the ICON Funds (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end investment management company. As of September 30, 2010, each Fund has three classes of shares: Class S, Class C and Class A. Class A and Class C shares commenced operations on September 30, 2010. All classes have equal rights as to earnings, assets, and voting privileges except that each Class may bear different distribution fees, registration costs, legal costs, mailing and printing costs and shareholder servicing costs and each Class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan. There are currently eight other active Funds within the Trust. Those Funds are covered by separate prospectuses and shareholder reports.
 
Each Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of no par shares. The Funds invest primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific sectors and industries. The investment objective of each Fund is to provide long-term capital appreciation.
 
The Funds may have elements of risk, including the risk of loss of principal. There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful results. An investment in a non-diversified sector fund may involve greater risk and volatility than a more diversified fund. Investments in foreign securities and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of U.S. dollar-denominated transactions as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of lower government supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets and the possibility of political or economic instability. Financial statements of foreign companies are governed by different accounting, auditing, and financial standards than U.S. companies and may be less transparent and uniform than in the United States. Many corporate governance standards, which help ensure the integrity of public information in the United States, may not exist in some foreign countries. In general, there may be less governmental supervision of foreign stock exchanges and securities brokers and issuers. There are also risks associated with small-and mid-cap investing, including limited product lines, less liquidity and small market share.

In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into various agreements that provide for general indemnifications. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as any potential exposure involving future claims that may be made against each Fund is unknown. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be minimal.
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
 
Investment Valuation
 
The Funds’ securities and other assets, excluding options on securities indexes, are valued as of the closing price at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) (normally 4 p.m. Eastern Standard Time) each day the NYSE is open, except that securities traded primarily on the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) are normally valued by the Funds at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price provided by NASDAQ each business day. Options on securities indexes are valued at the close of the Chicago Board Options Exchange (normally 4:15 p.m. Eastern Standard Time) on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading.
 
The Funds use pricing services to obtain the market value of securities in their portfolios; if a pricing service is not able to provide a price, or the pricing service’s valuation quote is considered inaccurate or does not reflect the market value of the security, prices may be obtained through market quotations from independent broker/dealers. If market quotations from these sources are not readily available, the Funds’ securities or other assets are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (“Board”) or pursuant to procedures approved by the Board.
 
Lacking any sales that day, a security is valued at the current closing bid price (or yield equivalent thereof) or based on quotes obtained from dealers making a market for the security. Options are valued at their closing

mid-price on the market with the most volume. Mid-price is the average of the closing bid and closing ask prices. Debt securities with a remaining maturity of greater than 60 days are valued in accordance with the evaluated bid price supplied by the pricing service. The evaluated bid price supplied by the pricing service is based upon a matrix valuation system which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities and ratings. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market value. Currency rates as of the close of the NYSE are used to convert foreign security values into U.S. dollars.
 
The Funds’ securities traded in countries outside of the Western Hemisphere are fair valued daily by utilizing the quotations of an independent pricing service, unless the Board determines that use of another valuation methodology is appropriate. The purposes of daily fair valuation are to avoid stale prices and to take into account, among other things, any significant events occurring after the close of foreign markets. The pricing service uses statistical analyses and quantitative models to adjust local market prices using factors such as subsequent movements and changes in the prices of indexes, securities and exchange rates in other markets to determine fair value as of the time a Fund calculates its net asset value (“NAV”). The valuation assigned to fair-value securities for purposes of calculating a Fund’s NAV may differ from the security’s most recent closing market price and from the prices used by other mutual funds to calculate their NAVs.
 
Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.
 
Various inputs are used to determine the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
 
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
 
Level 2 — significant observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk).
 
Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs.
 
Observable inputs are those based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Funds, and unobservable inputs reflect the Funds’ own assumptions based on the best information available. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, non-U.S. equity securities actively

traded in foreign markets generally are reflected in Level 2 despite the availability of closing prices, because the Funds evaluate and determine whether those closing prices reflect fair value at the close of the NYSE or require adjustment, as described above. The following table summarizes the Funds’ investments, based on the inputs used to determine their values on September 30, 2010:

There were no Level 3 securities held in any of the Funds at September 30, 2010.
 
For the year ended September 30, 2010, there was no significant security transfer activity between Level 1 and Level 2.
 
Foreign Currency Translation
 
The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated daily into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange. Income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions. Purchases and sales of securities are translated into U.S. dollars at the contractual currency exchange rates established at the time of each trade.
 
The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments and foreign currency translations arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, resulting from changes in the exchange rates and changes in market prices of securities held.

Options Transactions
 
The Funds’ use of derivatives for the year ended September 30, 2010 was limited to purchased call options.
 
Each Fund may purchase and/or write (sell) call and put options on any security in which it may invest. The Funds utilize options to hedge against changes in market conditions and to provide market exposure while trying to reduce transaction costs.
 
Option contracts involve market risk and can be highly volatile. Should prices of securities or securities indexes move in an unexpected manner, the Funds may not achieve the desired benefits and may realize losses and thus be in a worse position than if such strategies had not been utilized.
 
When a Fund writes a put or call option, an amount equal to the premium received is included on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a written call option on an individual security is exercised, a gain or loss is realized for the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a written call option on a securities index is exercised, a gain or loss is realized as determined by the premium originally received, the exercise price and the market value of the index. If a written put option on an individual security is exercised, the cost of the security acquired is decreased by the premium originally received. As a writer of an option, a Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the individual security or securities index underlying the written option. Additionally, written call options may involve the risk of limited gains, lack of liquidity for the option and lack of liquidity for the security or securities index.
 
Each Fund may also purchase put and call options. When a Fund purchases a put or call option, an amount equal to the premium paid is included on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment, and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires on the stipulated expiration date or if the Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If the Fund exercises a call option on an individual security, the cost of the security acquired is increased by the premium paid for the call. If the Fund exercises a put option on an individual security, a gain or loss is realized from the sale

of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such a sale are decreased by the premium originally paid. If the Fund exercises a put or a call option on a security index, a gain or loss is realized as determined by the premium originally paid or received, the exercise price and the market value of the index. Written and purchased options are non-income producing securities.
 
As of September 30, 2010, no Funds engaged in any written options transactions. As disclosed below, the Financial, Energy, and Materials Fund engaged in purchased call options during the year. All open options contracts are included on the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Information about derivative instruments reflected as of the date of this report is generally indicative of the type and volume of derivative activity for the year ended September 30, 2010.
 
The Funds value derivatives at fair value, as described below, and recognize changes in fair value currently in the results of operations. Accordingly, the Funds do not follow hedge accounting, even for derivatives employed as economic hedges.
 
Securities Lending
 
Under procedures adopted by the Board, the Funds may lend securities to non-affiliated qualified parties. The Funds seek to earn additional income through securities lending. There is the risk of delay in recovering a loaned security. The Funds do not have the right to vote on securities while they are on loan; however, the Funds may attempt to call back the loan and vote the proxy.
 
All loans will be continuously secured by collateral which consists of cash. The cash collateral is invested in the State Street Navigator Prime Portfolio and is disclosed on the Schedule of Investments. The lending fees received and the Funds’ portion of the interest income earned on cash collateral are included on the Statement of Operations, if applicable.

    8,616,245       8,843,118  
ICON Materials Fund
    24,602,150       25,274,995  
 
The value of the collateral above could include collateral held for securities that were sold on or before September 30, 2010. It may also include collateral received from the prefunding of loans.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Funds intend to qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and, accordingly, the Funds will generally not be subject to federal and state income taxes or federal excise taxes to the extent that they intend to make sufficient distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains.
 
Dividends paid by the Funds from net investment income and distributions of net realized short-term gains are, for federal income tax purposes, taxable as ordinary income to shareholders.
 
Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Funds on the ex-dividend/distribution date. The Funds distribute income and net realized capital gains, if any, to shareholders at least annually, if not offset by capital loss carryforwards. The Funds may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes and designate earnings and profits, including net realized gains distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares, as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements.
 
The Funds file U.S. tax returns. While the statute of limitations remains open to examine the Funds’ U.S. tax returns filed for the past four years, no

examinations are in progress or anticipated at this time. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
 
Investment Income
 
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Funds are informed of the dividend if such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the life of the respective securities.
 
Investment Transactions
 
Security transactions are accounted for no later than one business day after the trade date. However, for financial reporting purposes, security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
 
Allocation of Expenses
 
Each class of a Fund’s shares bears expenses incurred specifically on its behalf and, in addition, each class bears a portion of general expenses, based upon relative net assets of each class. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a specific Fund in the Trust are apportioned between all Funds in the Trust based upon relative net assets. In calculating the net asset value per share of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses other than class-specific expenses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets.
 
3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
 
Investment Advisory Fees
 
ICON Advisers, Inc. (“ICON Advisers”) serves as investment adviser to the Funds and is responsible for managing the Funds’ portfolios of securities. Each Fund is obligated to pay ICON Advisers management fees computed daily at an annual rate of 1.00% on the first $500 million of average daily net assets, 0.95% on the next $250 million, 0.925% on the next $750 million,

Administrative Services
 
The Trust has entered into an administrative services agreement with ICON Advisers pursuant to which ICON Advisers oversees the administration of the Trust’s business and affairs. This agreement provides for an annual fee of 0.05% on the Funds’ first $1.5 billion of average daily net assets, 0.045% on the next $1.5 billion of average daily net assets, 0.040% on the next $2 billion of average daily net assets and 0.030% on average daily net assets over $5 billion. For the year ended September 30, 2010, the Funds’ payment for administrative services to ICON Advisers is included on the Statement of Operations. The administrative services agreement provides that ICON Advisers will not be liable for any error of judgment, mistake of law, or any loss suffered by the Trust in connection with matters to which the administrative services agreement relates, except for a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence by ICON Advisers in the performance of its duties.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of the ICON Funds:
 
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ICON Consumer Discretionary Fund, ICON Energy Fund, ICON Financial Fund, ICON Healthcare Fund, ICON Industrials Fund, ICON Information Technology Fund, ICON Leisure and Consumer Staples Fund, ICON Materials Fund, and ICON Telecommunication & Utilities Fund (nine of the portfolios constituting ICON Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at September 30, 2010, and the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at September 30, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Six Month Hypothetical Expense Example
September 30, 2010 (unaudited)
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of a Fund you may pay two types of fees: transaction fees and fund-related fees. Certain funds charge transaction fees, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees. Funds also incur various ongoing expenses, including management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses, which are indirectly paid by shareholders.
 
This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the various ICON Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the six-month period (4/1/10-9/30/10).
 
Actual Expenses
 
The first line in the table for each Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. The Example includes, but is not limited to, management fees, 12b-1 fees, fund accounting, custody and transfer agent fees. However, the Example does not include client specific fees, such as the $15 fee charged to IRA accounts, or the $15 fee charged for wire redemptions. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for each Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
 
The second line in the table for each Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your

ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees that may be charged by other funds. Therefore, this information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Notice to Shareholders of the ICON Consumer Discretionary Fund and the ICON Leisure and Consumer Staples Fund
 
On November 15, 2010, upon a recommendation from its Investment Adviser, the Board of Trustees of the ICON Funds determined to include the leisure sector as part of the consumer discretionary sector, as it is classified under the Global Industry Classification Standard. Effective January 24, 2011, the ICON Leisure and Consumer Staples Fund will no longer invest in leisure stocks, and the fund will be renamed the ICON Consumer Staples Fund. Effective January 24, 2010, the ICON Consumer Discretionary Fund will include the leisure sector as part of the Consumer Discretionary investable sector.

Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreements
 
On August 9, 2010, the Board of Trustees, including all of the Trustees that are not “interested persons” of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), approved continuation of the advisory agreements between ICON Funds (the “Trust”) and ICON Advisers, Inc. (“ICON” or the “Adviser”) - the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement dated October 9, 1996, as amended (related to the Sector, International and Core Equity Funds) and under the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement dated July 9, 2002 and effective October 1, 2002, as amended (related to the U.S. Diversified Funds - Bond, Risk-Managed Equity, Equity Income and Long/Short Funds) (collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”), for an additional one-year term commencing October 1, 2010.
 
In determining to renew the Advisory Agreements the Board requested, was provided with and reviewed data with respect to ICON, its personnel, and the services to be provided to each Fund by ICON. . The data included information concerning advisory, distribution and administrative services provided to the Funds by ICON and its related companies; information concerning other businesses of those companies; comparative data related to exchange traded funds versus the Sector Funds; and comparative data obtained from Lipper Analytical Services related to Fund performance and Fund expenses (the “Lipper report”). Management also provided an AthenaInvest investment style analysis relating to the Funds. Management personnel discussed the data for and with those present. Included in the discussion was a briefing on the sales and marketing initiatives, the different classes of shares being offered by the Trust and efficiencies in connection with administering services to the Funds/various classes of shares.
 
The Independent Trustees were represented by independent legal counsel throughout the process. Prior to acting on the matter, the Independent Trustees met separately as a group in private sessions with their independent legal counsel to review and discuss the foregoing information. Based on these discussions, independent legal counsel and/or the Lead Independent Trustee also contacted management to request additional information and to discuss responses to questions raised during the process. In addition, the Independent Trustees received materials from their independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards applicable to their consideration of the agreement.
 
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board reviewed information relating to ICON’s operations and personnel. Among other things, the Adviser provided biographical

information on its professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. In the course of their deliberations the Board evaluated, among other things, information relating to the investment philosophy, strategies and techniques used in managing each Fund, the qualifications and experience of ICON’s investment personnel, ICON’s compliance programs, ICON’s brokerage practices, including the extent to which the Adviser obtains research through “soft dollar” arrangements with the Funds’ brokerage, and the financial and non-financial resources available to provide services required under the Advisory Agreements.
 
During the discussion, the Lipper report was discussed and management personnel showed performance for each fund and discussed the factors affecting performance. Management noted that ICON modified the valuation methodology at the end of 2008 to better account for systemic risk. ICON implemented the modified valuation methodology in February 2009. During the discussion, management personnel noted that the markets over the past year have been very volatile; that when the market is volatile, relative strength readings are also volatile; that volatility has affected ICON’s performance; and that this had been the case for much of the last year for the Funds. It was also noted that poor quality stocks with low relative strength lead the market whereas higher quality stocks with higher relative strength have not performed as well; and that the market volatility and the relative strength component to our methodology have produced mixed results. In this regard it was noted that many other value managers have had challenges in this market. In the discussion, the Adviser advised that it continues to believe the adjustments to its system have been functioning as intended, and as this period of volatility stabilizes the funds will benefit; and that the Adviser is constantly evaluating the system and will modify it as needed.
 
In connection with reviewing data bearing upon the nature, quality, and extent of services furnished by ICON to each Fund, the Board assessed data concerning ICON’s staffing, systems and facilities. The Board also assessed ICON’s non-Trust business to see if there are any initiatives that would dilute service to the Trust. The Board noted:
 
A. That the breadth and the quality of investment advisory and other services being provided to each Fund is satisfactory, as evidenced in part by efforts to address and improve the performance record of each Fund when compared with the performance records of a peer group of comparable funds and markets in general;
 
B. That ICON has made significant expenditures in the past year and in prior years to ensure that it has the sophisticated systems and the highly trained personnel necessary for it to be able to continue to provide

quality service to the Funds’ shareholders, including the dedication of substantial resources to ICON’s investment and trading departments;
 
C. That the Board is satisfied with the research, portfolio management, and trading services, among others, being provided by ICON to the Funds; and
 
D. The risks assumed by ICON in providing investment advisory services to each Fund including the capital commitments which have been made in the past and which continue to be made by ICON to ensure the continuation of the highest quality of service to the Trust is made with the recognition that the Trust’s advisory relationship with ICON be terminated at any time and must be renewed on an annual basis.
 
In considering the reasonableness of the fee payable to the Adviser for managing each Fund, the Board reviewed, among other things, data concerning other funds from the Lipper report, financial statements of the Adviser and an analysis of the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates of their relationship with each Fund over various time periods, which analysis identified all revenues and other benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates from managing each Fund, the costs associated with providing such services and the resulting profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates.
 
The Board considered the current and anticipated asset levels of each Fund and the willingness of the Adviser to reimburse expenses of the Funds from time to time, in connection with the contractual expense limitation agreement, to limit the total expenses of the Funds. In this regard the Board discussed significantly reduced asset levels in each fund covered by the Advisory Agreements due to the tumultuous markets during the past two and a half years, to relative poor Fund performance (prior to the adjustment to the Advisers system in early 2009), and to industry wide net-redemptions in reaction to the tumultuous markets. ICON’s ability to provide the services called for under the Advisory Agreements was assessed in light of current and projected asset levels. Fund expenses and expense ratios were also assessed in light of current and projected asset levels. The Board concluded that the Adviser has the resources necessary to provide the services called for under the Advisory Agreements; that profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds is not excessive; and that the Adviser is not realizing material benefits from economies of scale that would warrant adjustments to the fees for any Fund at this time. The Board of Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and the levels of profitability associated with providing these services, the fees charged by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreements to each Fund are reasonable.

In connection with assessing data bearing the fairness of fee arrangements, the Board used data from Lipper Analytical Services concerning funds of similar size and funds of larger size, as well as data concerning ICON’s other clients and noted that:
 
A. the advisory fee structures of the Funds were considered in comparison with advisory fees and expense ratios of other similarly managed funds as set forth in the comparative data;
 
B. contractual advisory fees of the Sector Funds were higher than fees for similar funds; but that the Sector Funds’ expense ratios were competitive and consistent with those of similarly managed Funds;
 
C. contractual advisory fees for the International Funds were above the average fees for similar funds; and that the Funds’ expense ratios were competitive in light of their size;
 
D. ICON has contractually agreed to impose expense limitations on certain Funds at a cost to ICON;
 
E. the advisory and other fees payable by the Funds to ICON are essentially fees which would be similar to those which would have resulted solely from “arm’s-length” bargaining, and may well be lower than fees arrived at solely from such arm’s-length negotiation;
 
F. the fees paid to ICON for managing other institutional accounts (such as pension plans) are not lower than the fees paid by similarly-managed funds; and to the extent such fees of those accounts are lower, the reasons why such accounts are less costly for ICON to manage; and
 
G. ICON has contractually committed to break points in it fees of the Sector Funds so that economies of scale could be realized as a Fund grows in assets, for the benefit of Fund shareholders.
 
In connection with the direct and indirect benefits to ICON from serving as the Funds’ adviser, the Board discussed and noted that:
 
A. ICON benefits from serving directly or through affiliates as the principal underwriter and administrative agent for the Funds; that services provided by ICON and its affiliates to the Funds are satisfactory, and that profits derived from providing the services are competitive and reasonable; and
 
B. ICON receives research assistance (primarily in the form of data) from the use of soft dollars generated from Fund portfolio transactions; that such research assists ICON in providing quality advisory services; and that the Board concluded that the arrangements are consistent with Fund brokerage practices and benefit the Funds and their shareholders

Based on these considerations, among others, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that: 1) the continuation of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders, 2) the services to be performed under the Advisory Agreement were required for the operation of the Funds, 3) the advisory services were satisfactory to the Funds in the past, and 4) the fees for the advisory services and other benefits from the relationship with the Trust received by ICON were consistent with fees paid by similar funds, other clients of ICON, reasonable in light of the comparative data, and within the range of what would have been negotiated at arm’s length in light of all the circumstances.

ICON FUNDS
CODE OF ETHICS
FOR
PRINICIPAL EXECUTIVE AND SENIOR FINANCIAL OFFICERS
I. Covered Officers/Purpose of Code
ICON Funds, a Massachusetts business trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). This Code of Ethics (“Code”) for the Trust and its series funds (collectively, the “Funds” and each a “Fund”) applies to the Trust’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (the “Covered Officers” each of whom are set forth in Exhibit A) for the purpose of promoting:
    Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
 
    Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Trust files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in other public communications made by or on behalf of the Funds;
 
    Compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;
 
    The prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code; and
 
    Accountability for adherence to the Code.
Each Covered Officer should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest.
II. Covered Officers Should Ethically Handle Actual and Apparent Conflicts of Interest
A “conflict of interest” occurs when a Covered Officer’s private interests interfere with the interests of, or his service to, the Trust. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of his family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his position with the Trust.
Certain conflicts of interest arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and the Trust and are already subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Advisers Act”). For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the Funds because of their status as “affiliated persons”. Compliance programs and procedures of the Trust and the Trust’s investment adviser, transfer agent, fund accounting service provider, administrative service provider, and principal underwriter (each a “Service Provider”) are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of these provisions.

 


 

This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace these programs and procedures, and such conflicts fall outside of the parameters of this Code.
Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts may arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between the Trust and a Service Provider. As a result, this Code recognizes that Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the Trust or for a Service Provider, or for both), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions which will have different effects on a Service Provider and the Trust. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the Trust and a Service Provider and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Trust. Thus, if performed in conformity with the provisions of the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act, such activities will be deemed to have been handled ethically.
Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions in the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act. The following list provides examples of conflicts of interest under the Code, but Covered Officers should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive. The overarching principle is that the personal interest of the Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interests of the Trust.
Each Covered Officer must:
    Not use his personal influence or personal relationships to improperly influence investment decisions or financial reporting by the Funds whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Funds;
 
    Not cause the Trust to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than the benefit of the Funds; and
 
    Not use material non-public knowledge of portfolio transactions made or contemplated for a Fund to trade personally or cause others to trade personally in contemplation of the market effect of such transactions.
Certain material conflict of interest situations require written pre-approval from the Trust’s Audit Committee or its designated representative. Examples of material conflict of interest situations requiring pre-approval include:
    Service as a director on the board of any public company;
 
    The receipt of any non-nominal gifts;
 
    The receipt of any entertainment from any company with which the Trust has current or prospective business dealings unless such entertainment is business-related, reasonable in cost, appropriate as to time and place, and not so frequent as to raise any question of impropriety;
 
    Any ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of the Trust’s Service Providers or any affiliated person thereof; and

2


 

    A direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by a Fund for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from the Covered Officer’s employment, such as compensation or equity ownership.
The Trust’s Independent Trustees will be provided a list of any such written pre-approvals in connection with the next regularly scheduled Board meeting.
III. Disclosure and Compliance
    Each Covered Officer should familiarize himself with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Trust;
 
    Each Covered Officer should not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Funds to others, whether within or outside the Trust, including to the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) and auditors, and to governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations;
 
    Each Covered Officer should, to the extent appropriate within his area of responsibility, consult with other officers of the Trust and officers and employees of the Service Providers with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents the Trust files with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public communications made by or on behalf of the Funds; and
 
    It is the responsibility of each Covered Officer to promote compliance with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations.
IV. Reporting and Accountability
Each Covered Officer must:
    Upon adoption of the Code (or thereafter as applicable, upon becoming a Covered Officer), affirm in writing to the Board that he has received, read and understands the Code;
 
    Annually thereafter affirm to the Board that he has complied with the requirements of the Code;
 
    Not retaliate against any other Covered Officer, other officer of the Trust, any employee of a Service Provider or any of their affiliated persons for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith; and
 
    Notify the Trust’s Audit Committee or its designated representative promptly if he knows of any violation of this Code. Failure to do so is itself a violation of this Code.
The Trust’s Audit Committee, directly or through its designated representative, is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation. However, any waivers of any provision of this Code will be considered by the Independent Trustees.

3


 

The Trust will follow the following procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code:
    The Trust’s Audit Committee will take all appropriate action to investigate any reported potential violations;
 
    If, after such investigation, the Audit Committee believes that no violation has occurred, the Audit Committee is not required to take any further action;
 
    Any matter that the Audit Committee believes is a violation will be reported to the Independent Trustees;
 
    If the Independent Trustees concur that a violation has occurred, they will inform the Covered Officer and consider appropriate action, which may include review of, and appropriate modifications to, applicable policies and procedures; notification to appropriate personnel of a Service Provider or its board; or a recommendation to dismiss the Covered Officer;
 
    The Independent Trustees will be responsible for granting waivers, as appropriate; and
 
    Any changes to or waivers of this Code will, to the extent required, be disclosed as provided by SEC rules.
V. Other Policies and Procedures
This Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the Trust for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder. Insofar as other policies or procedures of the Trust, a Service Provider, or other service providers govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of Covered Officers, they are superceded by this Code to the extent that they overlap or conflict with the provisions of this Code. The Code of Ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act is a separate requirement applying to the Covered Officers and others, and is not part of this Code.
VI. Amendments
Except as to Exhibit A, this Code may not be amended except in written form, which is specifically approved or ratified by a majority vote of the Board, including a majority of Independent Trustees.
VII. Confidentiality
All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the Board, officers of the Trust, Trust counsel and counsel for a Service Provider.

VIII. Internal Use
The Code is intended solely for the internal use by the Trust and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of any Trust, as to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion.
