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, tax return of capital, 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.iconadvisers.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 March 31, 2008, 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 March 31, 2008 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 tend to 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 is 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.

Message From ICON Funds (unaudited)
 
Dear Shareholder:
 
March 31, 2008 concluded the first six months of the ICON Funds’ fiscal year. Generally, domestic stock prices drifted lower over that period, giving back some of the gains of the previous five years. We were surprised that the downward drift continued into the first three months of 2008, as many of the conditions we believe are typical of buying opportunities existed last fall.
 
When the market declined on August 15, 2007 and again on November 26, 2007, we measured stock prices to be about 20% and 34% below our estimates of intrinsic value, respectively. During that timeframe, long-term interest rates were dropping, financial news was negative, concerns over the economy grew, and the Federal Reserve (Fed) began easing monetary policy. In our experience, these conditions suggest stock prices could likely rise rather than fall.
 
When the Fed eases, it injects reserves into the banking system so banks can make more loans, which creates money as defined by M1. Historically, the growth in M1 has stimulated the economy and typically prevented a recession or promoted a quick recovery.
 
In the past, stock investors have not waited to see economic growth after the Fed eases. Instead, they’ve typically responded to the increase in M1 and anticipated economic growth by six to nine months. These periods have typically been viewed favorably by investors. Something unusual happened this time. The Fed injected reserves, but banks did not increase their lending, and M1 did not grow. Apparently, investors saw this and delayed their buying until seeing signs of growth in M1.
 
In March, the Fed implemented some innovative steps designed to help banks increase their lending. It appears investors are encouraged by these steps, as stock prices have moved higher off the March 10, 2008 low, but only time will tell whether the Fed’s steps increase bank lending.
 
Staying with Our Discipline
 
No matter the conditions or the news, we consistently apply our valuation approach with the belief that over the long run, stock prices try to keep up with our estimation of value. There are periods, however, when investors worry about events around them, and stock prices behave independent of value. We believe we have just come through one of those times given the concerns about the economy, sub-prime mortgage problems, and the lack of growth in M1.

At ICON, we ride through these difficult times because we see the data that goes into valuation such as earnings and interest rates. We are pleased with the quality of the companies we own. We believe that in time, prices will move up to value. Investors without that data and insight may depend on news headlines and public conjecture, which makes it less attractive to stay invested through times when the market drifts lower.
 
We believe investors may miss sudden market rallies if they are not invested because, in our experience, stock prices lead the economy (and news) by six to nine months. Stock prices often rally while the economy (and news) continues to deteriorate. By looking at the news and economic data, it is difficult to identify a market bottom. We rely on valuation, which sometimes means being invested during pre-rally turbulance.
 
The market low on March 10, 2008 was accompanied by many of the characteristics our research indicates are typical of bottoms and buying opportunities. Weak investor confidence was one of those characteristics. We believe investor confidence is a lagging variable. Many investors hope confidence returns so a rally can begin, but we think they have the relationship backwards. Confidence lags stock prices and improves after stock prices move higher, in our experience.
 
An equity trader on the floor of the stock exchange was interviewed on TV recently, and he was worried about the economy. He said he would like to see the employment situation improve. According to our research, employment is the piece of data that lags the most. If the normal relationship holds true, the market may rally long before employment improves.
 
ICON Income Opportunity Fund
 
The ICON Covered Call Fund opened on September 30, 2002. In January 2007, we changed the Fund’s name to the ICON Income Opportunity Fund, and we began writing index options instead of call options on individual stocks. We now have a year and a quarter to evaluate that change, and we are delighted with the results.
 
The Fund’s principal investment objective is to seek modest capital appreciation using our ICON methodology and to maximize realized gains. As a result of our strategy, we have found that the Fund captures some of the upside of equities and reduces the Fund’s volatility relative to broad market indexes.

Research on Industry Selection
 
An article in the New York Times on April 6, 2008 referred to research and a working paper by Busse & Tong of Emory University. From 1980-2006, the researchers studied whether investment managers were better at industry selection or stock selection. The article states, “The researchers found that industry bets were responsible for about half the margin by which the average fund beat or lagged behind the market. Stock selection was responsible for the other half.” The article also reports that researchers “found that an adviser with good industry-selection ability was a good bet to continue his winning ways. By contrast, an adviser with good individual stock-selection ability was far less likely to repeat the feat.”
 
At ICON, we believe markets have themes, meaning that certain industries typically lead for one to two years. I created the ICON system in the early and mid-1980s to capture industry leadership. It is gratifying to see third party research that supports our system.
 
Thank you for the opportunity to guide your investments. We appreciate your commitment to the ICON U.S Diversified Funds.
 
Yours truly,
 
-s- Craig T. Callahan

(f)  The Fund’s operating expenses, not including dividends on short positions, are contractually limited to 1.55% for Class I, 2.30% for Class C, 1.25% for Class Z and 1.55% for Class A. The ratios in these financial highlights reflect the limitation, including the dividends on short positions.
(g)  The ratio of expenses to average net assets before expense limitation and transfer agent earnings credit including non-recurring Code 860 expense were 1.81%, 2.91%, 11.66% and 4.35% for Class I, C, Z and A, respectively. See Note 6.
(h)  The ratio of expenses to average net assets before expense limitation and transfer agent earnings credit including non-recurring Code 860 expense and Code 860 related legal expenses were 2.39%, 3.53%, 31.08% and 7.27% for Class I, C, Z and A, respectively. See Note 6.

1. Organization
 
The ICON Bond Fund (“Bond Fund”), ICON Core Equity Fund (“Core Equity Fund”), ICON Equity Income Fund (“Equity Income Fund”), ICON Income Opportunity Fund (“Income Opportunity Fund”, formerly, the ICON Covered Call Fund) and ICON Long/Short Fund (“Long/Short 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 offers four classes of shares, Class I, Class C, Class Z and Class A with the exception of Bond Fund, which offers three classes of shares, Class I, Class C and Class Z. All classes have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges except that each Class may bear different distribution fees, registration costs and shareholder servicing costs and each Class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan. There are currently 12 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 Income Opportunity Fund is modest capital appreciation and to maximize realized gains. The investment objective of the Long/Short Fund is 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. 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 Income Opportunity 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. 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. There are also risks associated with small and mid-cap investing, including limited product lines, less liquidity and small market share. 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 tend to 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 is less governmental supervision of foreign stock exchanges and securities brokers and issuers.
 
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
 
 
 
Notes to Financial Statements 53


 

 
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
 
the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) (normally 4 p.m. Eastern 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 generally valued at 4:15 p.m. Eastern time each day the NYSE is open. 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 principal market where the option is traded. 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 a matrix 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. 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.

New Accounting Pronouncement
 
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The changes to current generally accepted accounting principles from the application of this Statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. Management does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will impact the financial statement amounts, however, additional disclosures will be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain measurements on changes in net assets for the period. Management intends to adopt SFAS No. 157 during the fiscal year ending September 30, 2009 as required.
 
Repurchase Agreements
 
Repurchase agreements, if held by the Funds, are fully collateralized by U.S. Government securities and such collateral is in the possession of the Funds’ custodian. The collateral is evaluated daily to ensure its market value exceeds the current market value of the repurchase agreements including accrued interest. In the event of default on the obligation to purchase, the Funds have the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal proceedings. No repurchase agreements were purchased or sold by the Funds during the period ended March 31, 2008.
 
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.
 
 
 
Notes to Financial Statements 55


 

 
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
 
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 may enter into short-term forward foreign currency contracts in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities as a hedge against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates pending the settlement of transactions in foreign securities. 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.
 
These contracts are marked-to-market daily and the related appreciation or depreciation of the contract is presented on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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. The Funds did not enter into any forward foreign currency contracts during the period ended March 31, 2008.
 
Futures Contracts
 
The Funds may invest in financial futures contracts for the purpose of hedging their existing securities or securities they intend to purchase against fluctuations in fair value caused by changes in prevailing markets. Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to a broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value of the underlying security. The Fund recognizes a gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin. Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts

and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts and the underlying hedged assets. The Funds held no financial futures contracts during the period ended March 31, 2008.
 
Options Transactions
 
The Income Opportunity Fund writes (sells) call options as part of its normal investment activities. Each Fund may write (sell) put and call options on individual securities and on securities indexes.
 
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. Such liability is subject to off balance sheet risks to the extent of any future increases in market value of the written options. 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.
 
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 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 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.
 
The Income Opportunity Fund’s written options are collateralized by cash and/or securities held with the Fund’s prime broker and in a segregated account at the Fund’s custodian. Such collateral for the Fund is restricted from use. The cash collateral 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.
 
As of March 31, 2008, the Equity Income Fund and the Income Opportunity Fund engaged in option transactions which are included on each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
 
Short Sales
 
The Long/Short Fund may engage in short sales (selling securities it does not own) as part of its normal investment activities. 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 is 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 reported at market value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such liabilities are subject to off-balance sheet risk to the extent of any future increases in market value of the securities sold short. The ultimate liability for securities sold short may exceed the liabilities recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Liabilities for securities sold short are closed out by purchasing the applicable securities for delivery to the Fund’s prime broker. As of March 31, 2008, the Long/Short Fund engaged in short selling. The short positions are included on 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 may 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. Brown Brothers Harriman (the “Lending Agent”) may invest the cash collateral in the Securities Lending Investment Fund of Brown Brothers Harriman Trust, which complies with Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act relating to money market funds.
 
The cash collateral invested by the Lending Agent 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 March 31, 2008, the following Funds had securities with the following values on loans:

ICON Income Opportunity Fund
    8,108,961       8,197,590  
ICON Long/Short Fund
    27,329,275       28,166,148  
 
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 Bond Fund distributes net investment income, if any, to shareholders monthly. The Equity Income Fund and the Income Opportunity 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 carryovers. 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.
 
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), in June 2006. FIN 48 permits the recognition of tax benefits of an uncertain tax position only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. Management has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years, and concluded that adoption had no effect on the Funds’ financial position or results of operations. At March 31, 2008, the Funds have recorded no liabilities for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions they have taken or expect to take in future tax returns.
 
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 fiscal years from 2003-2006, 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 market 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.
 
 
 
60 Notes to Financial Statements


 

 
 
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.
 
3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
 
Investment Advisory Fees
 
ICON Advisers, Inc. (“ICON”) serves as investment adviser to the Funds and is responsible for managing the Funds’ portfolios of securities. ICON receives a monthly management fee that is computed daily at an annual rate of 0.60% of average daily nets assets of the Bond Fund, 0.75% of average daily net assets of the Core Equity, Equity Income and Income Opportunity Funds, and 0.85% of average daily net assets of the Long/Short Fund.
 
ICON has contractually agreed to limit its investment advisory fee and/or reimburse certain of the Funds’ operating expenses (exclusive of brokerage, interest, taxes, and extraordinary expenses) to the extent necessary to ensure that the Funds’ operating expenses do not exceed the following amounts:

of wash 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, 2007 that may be available to offset future realized capital gains and thereby reduce future taxable income distributions. The ICON Bond Fund has a capital loss carryforward of $1,454,386, which expires in 2015.
 
For the year ended September 30, 2007 the ICON Bond Fund also elected to defer post October losses of $158,250.
 
As of March 31, 2008, book cost for financial reporting purposes is substantially the same for federal income tax purposes and differs from fair value by net unrealized appreciation / (depreciation) of securities as follows:

Six-Month Hypothetical Expense Example
March 31, 2008 (unaudited)
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of a Fund you may pay two types of fees: transaction fees and fund-related fees. Certain funds charge transactions 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 period and held for the six-month period (10/1/07 - 3/31/08).
 
Actual Expenses
 
The first set of lines in the table for each Fund provide 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 $10 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 set of lines in the table for each Fund provide 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.

About This Report (unaudited)
 
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, tax return of capital, 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.iconadvisers.com for performance results current to the most recent month-end.

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 tend to 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 is less governmental supervision of foreign stock exchanges and securities brokers and issuers. 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. 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.

About This Report 3


 

Message From ICON Funds (unaudited)
 
Dear ICON Shareholder:
 
March 31, 2008 concluded the first six months of the ICON Funds’ fiscal year. Generally, along with domestic stock prices, international stock prices drifted lower over that period, giving back some of the gains of the previous five years. We were surprised that the downward drift continued into the first three months of 2008, as many of the conditions we believe are typical of buying opportunities existed last fall.
 
International stocks dropped in August 2007 and again in November 2007, just as they did in the United States. Some international institutions had sub-prime mortgage exposure, but more importantly, we believe international investors were concerned that the U.S. economy would slow. Whether correct or not, investors viewed the U.S. economy as the engine that drives global growth. Therefore, international investors focused their attention on U.S. policy to deal with the sub-prime situation and the slowing economy.
 
At the lows on August 16, 2007 and November 22, 2007, we measured international stock prices to be about 26% and 27% below our estimates of intrinsic value, respectively. Long-term interest rates were dropping, financial news was negative, concerns over the U.S. economy grew, and although foreign central banks were not aggressively easing monetary policy, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) took the lead and began to ease. In our experience, these conditions suggest stock prices could likely rise rather than fall.
 
When the Fed eases, it injects reserves into the U.S. banking system so banks can make more loans, which creates money as defined by M1. Historically, growth in M1 has stimulated the economy and typically prevented a recession or promoted a quick recovery.
 
In the past, stock investors have not waited to see economic growth after the Fed eases. Instead, they’ve typically responded to the increase in M1 and anticipated economic growth by six to nine months. These periods have historically been viewed favorably by investors. Something unusual happened this time. The Fed injected reserves, but banks did not increase their lending, and M1 did not grow. Apparently, international investors saw this and delayed their buying until they saw signs of growth in M1, again, with their focus on the U.S. economy as a global engine.
 
In March, the Fed implemented some innovative steps designed to enable banks to increase their lending. It appears international investors are encouraged by these steps, as stock prices have moved higher off the March 17, 2008 low, but only time will tell whether the Fed’s steps increase bank lending.

Staying with Our Discipline
 
We consistently apply our valuation approach with the belief that over the long run, stock prices try to keep up with our estimation of value. There are periods, however, when investors worry about events around them, and stock prices behave independent of value. We believe we have just come through one of those times given the concerns about the economy, sub-prime mortgage problems, and the lack of growth in M1.
 
At ICON, we ride through these difficult times because we see the data that goes into valuation such as earnings and interest rates. We are pleased with the quality of the companies we own. We believe that in time, prices will move up to value. Other investors may depend on news headlines and public conjecture, which makes it less attractive to stay invested through times when the market drifts lower.
 
We believe investors may miss sudden market rallies because in our experience, stock prices lead the economy (and news) by six to nine months. Stock prices often rally while the economy (and news) continues to deteriorate. By looking at the news and economic data, it is difficult to identify a market bottom. We rely on valuation, which sometimes means being invested during pre-rally turbulence.
 
The market low on March 17, 2008 was accompanied by many of the characteristics our research indicates are typical of bottoms and buying opportunities. Weak investor confidence was one of those characteristics. We believe investor confidence is a lagging variable. Many investors hope confidence returns so a rally can begin, but we think they have the relationship backwards. Confidence lags stock prices and improves after stock prices move higher.
 
An equity trader on the floor of the U.S. stock exchange was interviewed on TV recently, and he was worried about the U.S. economy. He said he would like to see the employment situation improve. According to our research, employment is the piece of data that lags the most. If the normal relationship holds true, the market may rally long before employment improves.
 
ICON International Equity Fund
 
I am pleased to announce that the ICON International Equity Fund not only weathered difficult markets, but outperformed every one of its peers in 2007.
 
The ICON International Equity Fund has been awarded 2007 Lipper Performance Achievement Certificates as the best-performing fund among 61 International Small/Mid-Cap Core funds for the one-year period ending
 
 
 
Message From ICON Funds 5


 

December 31, 2007 and as the best-performing fund among 43 International Small/Mid-Cap Core funds for the five-year period ending December 31, 2007 as classified by Lipper.
 
The Fund’s historical performance shows that ICON’s value-based, bottom-up industry rotation system was successful at identifying and capturing industry leadership internationally over a multiple-year timeframe, and we are honored to have that achievement recognized by Lipper.
 
Although Lipper classifies the Fund in the International Small/Mid-Cap Core category, ICON manages it and all the ICON Funds with a multi-cap approach and no constraints regarding market capitalization.
 
Research on Industry Selection
 
An article in the New York Times on April 6, 2008 referred to research and a working paper by Busse & Tong of Emory University. From 1980–2006, the researchers studied whether investment managers were better at industry selection or stock selection. The article states, “The researchers found that industry bets were responsible for about half the margin by which the average fund beat or lagged behind the market. Stock selection was responsible for the other half.” The article also reports that researchers “found that an adviser with good industry-selection ability was a good bet to continue his winning ways. By contrast, an adviser with good individual stock-selection ability was far less likely to repeat the feat.”
 
At ICON, we believe markets have themes, meaning that certain industries typically lead for one to two years. I created the ICON system in the early and mid-1980s to capture industry leadership. It is gratifying to see third party research that supports our system.
 
Thank you for the opportunity to guide your investments. We appreciate your commitment to the ICON International Funds.
 
Yours truly,
 
-s- Craig T. Callahan

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 offer five classes of shares, Class S, Class I, Class C, Class Z and Class A. The International Equity Fund offers six classes of shares, Class S, Class I, Class C, Class Z, Class A, and Class Q. All classes have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges except that each Class may bear different distribution fees, registration costs and transfer agent costs and that each Class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan. There are 14 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 long-term capital appreciation.
 
The Funds may have elements of risk, including the 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 tend to 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 is 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 are valued at the closing price at the close of the regular trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) (normally 4 p.m. Eastern time) each day the NYSE is open, except that (a) 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; and (b) foreign securities in the Funds traded in countries outside of the Western Hemisphere are fair valued daily based on procedures established by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (“Board”) to avoid stale prices and to take into account, among other things, any significant events occurring after the close of a foreign market in those regions. 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 Board or pursuant to procedures approved by the Board.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
 
Lacking any sales that day, a security is valued at the current closing bid price (or yield equivalent thereof) or based on quotes from dealers making a market for the security. Options are valued at their closing mid-price on the principal market where the option is traded. 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 a matrix 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 and securities and exchange rates in other markets to determine fair value as of the time a Fund calculates its net asset value. The valuation assigned to fair-valued 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.
 
New Accounting Pronouncement
 
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The changes to current generally accepted accounting principles from the application of this Statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. Management does not believe the adoption of

SFAS No. 157 will impact the financial statement amounts, however, additional disclosures will be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain measurements on changes in net assets for the period. Management intends to adopt SFAS No. 157 during the fiscal year ending September 30, 2009 as required.
 
Repurchase Agreements
 
Repurchase agreements, if held by the Funds, are fully collateralized by U.S. Government securities and such collateral is in the possession of the Funds’ custodian. The collateral is evaluated daily to ensure its market value exceeds the current market value of the repurchase agreements including accrued interest. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase, the Funds have the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal proceedings. No repurchase agreements were purchased or sold by the Funds during the period ended March 31, 2008.
 
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 may enter into short-term forward foreign currency contracts in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities as a hedge against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates pending the settlement of transactions
 
 
 
Notes to Financial Statements 37


 

 
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
 
in foreign securities. 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.
 
These contracts are marked-to-market daily and the related appreciation or depreciation of the contract is presented on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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. The Funds did not enter into any forward foreign currency contracts during the period ended March 31, 2008.
 
Futures Contracts
 
The Funds may invest in financial futures contracts for the purpose of hedging their existing securities or securities they intend to purchase against fluctuations in fair value caused by changes in prevailing markets. Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to a broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value of the underlying security. The Fund recognizes a gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin. Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts and the underlying hedged assets. The Funds held no financial futures contracts during the period ended March 31, 2008.
 
Options Transactions
 
Each Fund may write call and put options on any security in which it may invest. 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 is exercised, a gain or loss is realized for the sale of the underlying security, and the
 
 
 
38 Notes to Financial Statements


 

 
 
proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a written put option is exercised, the cost of the security acquired is decreased by the premium originally received. As a writer of an option, the Fund has no control over whether the underlying securities are subsequently sold (call) or purchased (put) and, as a result, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.
 
Each Fund may also purchase put and call options on any security in which it may invest. When a Fund purchases a call or put 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, the cost of the security acquired is increased by the premium paid for the call. If the Fund exercises a put option, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale are decreased by the premium originally paid. Written and purchased options are non-income producing securities. The Funds did not enter into any option transactions during the period ended March 31, 2008.
 
Securities Lending
 
Under procedures adopted by the Board, the Funds may lend securities to non-affiliated qualified parties. The Funds may 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. Brown Brothers Harriman (the “Lending Agent”) may invest the cash collateral in the Securities Lending Investment Fund of Brown Brothers Harriman Trust, which complies with Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act relating to money market funds.
 
The cash collateral invested by the Lending Agent 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.

ICON International Equity Fund
    18,244,902       18,906,662  
 
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 net realized capital gains, if any, to shareholders at least annually, if not offset by capital loss carryovers. 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.
 
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), in June 2006. FIN 48 permits the recognition of tax benefits of an uncertain tax position only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. Management has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years, and concluded that adoption had no effect on the Funds’ financial position or results of operations. At March 31, 2008, the Funds have recorded no liabilities for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions they have taken or expect to take in future tax returns.
 
 
 
40 Notes to 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 fiscal years from 2003-2006, 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 market 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 based upon relative net assets. In calculating the net asset value of the shares in the various classes of the Funds, 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.

The expense limitations will continue in effect until at least January 31, 2018. To the extent ICON reimburses or absorbs fees and expenses, it may seek payment of such amounts for up to three years after the expenses were reimbursed or absorbed. A Fund will make no such payment, however, if the total Fund operating expenses exceed the expense limits in effect at the time the expenses were reimbursed or at the time these payments are proposed.
 
As of March 31, 2008 the following amounts were still available for recoupment by ICON based upon their potential expiration dates:

Six Month Hypothetical Expense Example
March 31, 2008 (unaudited)
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of a Fund you may pay two types of fees: transaction fees and fund-related fees. Certain funds charge transactions 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 period and held for the six-month period (10/1/07 - 3/31/08).
 
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 $10 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.

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.
 
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.iconadvisers.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 March 31, 2008, 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 March 31, 2008 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.
 
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
 
 
 
About This Report


 

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.
 
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, and the Technology sector has been among the most volatile in the market. 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 tend to 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 is 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.iconadvisers.com or calling 1-800-764-0442. Please read the prospectus and statement of additional information carefully.
 
 
 
About This Report 3


 

Message from ICON Funds (unaudited)
 
Dear ICON Shareholder:
 
March 31, 2008 concluded the first six months of the ICON Funds’ fiscal year. Generally, domestic stock prices drifted lower over that period, giving back some of the gains of the previous five years. We were surprised that the downward drift continued into the first three months of 2008, as many of the conditions we believe are typical of buying opportunities existed last fall.
 
When the market declined on August 15, 2007 and again on November 26, 2007, we measured stock prices to be about 20% and 34% below our estimates of intrinsic value, respectively. During that timeframe, long-term interest rates were dropping, financial news was negative, concerns over the economy grew, and the Federal Reserve (Fed) began easing monetary policy. In our experience, these conditions suggest stock prices could likely rise rather than fall.
 
When the Fed eases, it injects reserves into the banking system so banks can make more loans, which creates money as defined by M1. Historically, the growth in M1 has stimulated the economy and typically prevented a recession or promoted a quick recovery.
 
In the past, stock investors have not waited to see economic growth after the Fed eases. Instead, they’ve typically responded to the increase in M1 and anticipated economic growth by six to nine months. These periods have typically been viewed favorably by investors. Something unusual happened this time. The Fed injected reserves, but banks did not increase their lending, and M1 did not grow. Apparently, investors saw this and delayed their buying until seeing signs of growth in M1.
 
In March, the Fed implemented some innovative steps designed to help banks increase their lending. It appears investors are encouraged by these steps, as stock prices have moved higher off the March 10, 2008 low, but only time will tell whether the Fed’s steps increase bank lending.
 
Staying with Our Discipline
 
We consistently apply our valuation approach with the belief that over the long run, stock prices try to keep up with our estimation of value. There are periods, however, when investors worry about events around them, and stock prices behave independent of value. We believe we have just come through one of those times given the concerns about the economy, sub-prime mortgage problems, and the lack of growth in M1.
 
At ICON, we ride through these difficult times because we see the data that goes into valuation such as earnings and interest rates. We are pleased with
 
 
 
Message From ICON Funds


 

the quality of the companies we own. We believe that in time, prices will move up to value. Investors without that data and insight may depend on news headlines and public conjecture, which makes it less attractive to stay invested through times when the market drifts lower.
 
We believe investors may miss sudden market rallies if they are not invested because, in our experience, stock prices lead the economy (and news) by six to nine months. Stock prices often rally while the economy (and news) continues to deteriorate. By looking at the news and economic data, it is difficult to identify a market bottom. We rely on valuation, which sometimes means being invested during pre-rally turbulence.
 
The market low on March 10, 2008 was accompanied by many of the characteristics our research indicates are typical of bottoms and buying opportunities. Weak investor confidence was one of those characteristics. We believe investor confidence is a lagging variable. Many investors hope confidence returns so a rally can begin, but we think they have the relationship backwards. Confidence lags stock prices and improves after stock prices move higher, in our experience.
 
An equity trader on the floor of the stock exchange was interviewed on TV recently, and he was worried about the economy. He said he would like to see the employment situation improve. According to our research, employment is the piece of data that lags the most. If the normal relationship holds true, the market may rally long before employment improves.
 
Research on Industry Selection
 
An article in the New York Times on April 6, 2008 referred to research and a working paper by Busse & Tong of Emory University. From 1980-2006, the researchers studied whether investment managers were better at industry selection or stock selection. The article states, “The researchers found that industry bets were responsible for about half the margin by which the average fund beat or lagged behind the market. Stock selection was responsible for the other half.” The article also reports that researchers “found that an adviser with good industry-selection ability was a good bet to continue his winning ways. By contrast, an advisor with good individual stock-selection ability was far less likely to repeat the feat.”

At ICON, we believe markets have themes, meaning that certain industries typically lead for one to two years. I created the ICON system in the early and mid-1980s to capture industry leadership. It is gratifying to see third party research that supports our system.
 
Thank you for the opportunity to guide your investments. We appreciate your commitment to the ICON Sector Funds.
 
Yours truly,

1. Organization
 
The ICON Consumer Discretionary Fund (“Consumer Discretionary Fund”), ICON Energy Fund (“Energy Fund”), ICON Financial Fund (“Financial Fund”), ICON Healthcare Fund (“Healthcare Fund”), ICON Industrials Fund (“Industrials Fund”), ICON Information Technology Fund (“Information Technology Fund”), ICON Leisure and Consumer Staples Fund (“Leisure and Consumer Staples Fund”), ICON Materials Fund (“Materials Fund”), and ICON Telecommunication & Utilities Fund (“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. There are eight other active Funds within the Trust. Those Funds are covered by separate prospectuses and shareholder reports.
 
The Funds invest primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific sectors and industries. Each Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of no par shares. The investment objective of each Fund is to provide long-term capital appreciation.
 
The Funds may have elements of risk, including the 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 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 tend to 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 is 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 are valued at the closing price at the close of the regular trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) (normally 4 p.m. Eastern 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. 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 from dealers making a market for the security. Options are valued at their closing mid-price on the principal market where the option is traded. 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 a matrix system which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities and ratings. Short-term securities with
 
 
 
Notes to Financial Statements 49


 

 
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
 
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 and securities and exchange rates in other markets to determine fair value as of the time a Fund calculates its net asset value. The valuation assigned to fair-valued 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.
 
New Accounting Pronouncement
 
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The changes to current generally accepted accounting principles from the application of this Statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. Management does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will impact the financial statement amounts, however, additional disclosures will be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain measurements on changes in net assets for the period. Management intends to adopt SFAS No. 157 during the fiscal year ending September 30, 2009 as required.

Repurchase Agreements
 
Repurchase agreements, if held by the Funds, are fully collateralized by U.S. Government securities and such collateral is in the possession of the Funds’ custodian. The collateral is evaluated daily to ensure its market value exceeds the current market value of the repurchase agreements including accrued interest. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase, the Funds have the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal proceedings. No repurchase agreements were purchased or sold by the Funds during the period ended March 31, 2008.
 
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 may enter into short-term forward foreign currency contracts in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities as a hedge against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates pending the settlement of transactions in foreign securities. 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.
 
These contracts are marked-to-market daily and the related appreciation or depreciation of the contract is presented on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
 
 
 
Notes to Financial Statements 51


 

 
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
 
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. The Funds did not enter into any forward foreign currency contracts during the period ended March 31, 2008.
 
Futures Contracts
 
The Funds may invest in financial futures contracts for the purpose of hedging their existing securities or securities they intend to purchase against fluctuations in fair value caused by changes in prevailing markets. Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to a broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value of the underlying security. The Fund recognizes a gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin. Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts and the underlying hedged assets. The Funds held no financial futures contracts during the period ended March 31, 2008.
 
Options Transactions
 
Each Fund may write call and put options on any security in which it may invest. 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 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 put option is exercised, the cost of the security acquired is decreased by the premium originally received. As a writer of an option, the Fund has no control over whether the underlying securities are subsequently sold (call) or purchased (put) and, as a result, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.
 
 
 
52 Notes to Financial Statements


 

 
 
Each Fund may also purchase put and call options on any security in which it may invest. When a Fund purchases a call or put 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, the cost of the security acquired is increased by the premium paid for the call. If the Fund exercises a put option, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale are decreased by the premium originally paid. Written and purchased options are non-income producing securities. The Financial Fund purchased call options during the period ended March 31, 2008.
 
Securities Lending
 
Under procedures adopted by the Board, the Funds may lend securities to non-affiliated qualified parties. The Funds may 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. Brown Brothers Harriman (the “Lending Agent”) may invest the cash collateral in the Securities Lending Investment Fund of Brown Brothers Harriman Trust, which complies with Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act relating to money market funds.
 
The cash collateral invested by the Lending Agent is disclosed on the Schedules of Investments. The lending fees received and the Funds’ portion of the interest income earned on cash collateral are included on the Statements of Operations, if applicable.

ICON Materials Fund
    15,889,236       16,103,358  
 
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 net realized capital gains, if any, to shareholders at least annually, if not offset by capital loss carryovers. 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.
 
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), in June 2006. FIN 48 permits the recognition of tax benefits of an uncertain tax position only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. Management has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years, and concluded that adoption had no effect on the Funds’ financial position or results of operations. At March 31, 2008, the Funds have
 
 
 
54 Notes to Financial Statements


 

 
 
recorded no liabilities for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions they have taken or expect to take in future tax returns.
 
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 fiscal years from 2003-2006, 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 market 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
 
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.
 
3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
 
Investment Advisory Fees
 
ICON Advisers, Inc. (“ICON”) serves as the investment adviser to the Funds and is responsible for managing the Funds’ portfolios of securities. Each Fund is obligated to pay ICON management fees computed daily at an annual rate of 1.00% of the first $500 million of average daily net assets, 0.95% on the next $250 million, 0.925% on the next $750 million, 0.90% on the next $3.5 billion, and 0.875% on average daily net assets over $5 billion.

Transfer agent earnings credits are credits received for interest which is a result from overnight balances used by the transfer agent, BFDS, for clearing shareholder transactions. During the period ended March 31, 2008, the Funds received transfer agent earnings credits which are included on the Statements of Operations.
 
Administrative Services
 
The Trust has entered into an administrative services agreement with ICON pursuant to which ICON 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. During the period ended March 31, 2008, the Funds’ payment for administrative services to ICON is included on the Statements of Operations. The administrative services agreement provides that ICON 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 in the performance of its duties.
 
ICON has entered into a sub-administration agreement with Citi pursuant to which Citi assists ICON with the administration and business affairs of the

5. 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 losses, foreign currency transactions, net investment losses, and capital loss carryovers.

Six-Month Hypothetical Expense Example
March 31, 2008 (unaudited)
 
As a shareholder of a Fund you may pay two types of fees: transaction fees and fund-related fees. Certain funds charge transactions 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 period and held for the six-month period (10/1/07 - 3/31/08).
 
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, fund accounting, custody and transfer agent fees. However, the Example does not include client specific fees, such as the $10 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.
