1Yield-to-Worst (YTW) is presented gross of fees and reflects the lowest potential yield that can be received on a debt investment without the issuer defaulting. YTW considers the impact of expected prepayments, calls and/or sinking funds, among other things. Average YTW is based on the weighted average YTW of the investments held in the Fund’s portfolio. YTW may not represent the yield an investor should expect to receive. 2The SEC Yield calculation is an annualized measure of the Fund’s dividend and interest payments for the last 30 days, less Fund expenses. Subsidized yield reflects fee waivers and/ or expense reimbursements during the period. Without waivers and/or reimbursements, yields would be reduced. Unsubsidized yield does not adjust for any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements in effect. The SEC Yield calculation is based on the price of the Fund at the beginning of the month.

Past performance is no guarantee, nor is it indicative, of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. This data represents past performance and investors should understand that investment returns and principal values fluctuate, so that when you redeem your investment it may be worth more or less than its original cost. Current month-end performance data, which may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted, may be obtained by calling toll-free, 1-800-982-4372.

Periods greater than one year are annualized. FPA Short Duration Government ETF ("Fund") performance is shown net of all fees and expenses. Fund performance is calculated on a total return basis which includes reinvestment of all distributions. Fund performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, which would lower these figures. Fund NAV represents the closing price of underlying securities. Market Price is the price which investors buy and sell ETF shares in the market. The Market Price returns in the table were calculated using the closing price as of the period ends noted.

Comparison to any index is for illustrative purposes only. The Fund does not include outperformance of any index or benchmark in its investment objectives. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The Bloomberg U.S. Treasury 1-5 Year Index measures US dollar-denominated, fixed-rate, nominal debt issued by the US Treasury. To be included in the index, securities must have at least one and up to, but not including, five years to maturity.

The Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expense is 0.83% (as of the most recent prospectus). The Fund’s investment adviser has contractually agreed to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding any leverage expense, brokerage fees and commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expense on securities sold short), taxes, and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation expenses), to 0.09% of the Fund’s average daily net assets until October 31, 2027. The adviser may recoup any operating expenses in excess of these limits from the Fund within three years if such recoupment can be achieved within the lesser of the foregoing expense limits and the expense limits in place at the time of recoupment. This agreement may only be terminated before its expiration date by the Board of Trustees of Investment Managers Series Trust III.

As with any stock, the price of the Fund’s shares will fluctuate with market conditions and other factors. Shares of ETFs frequently trade at a price that is less than (a “discount”) or more than (a “premium”) their net asset value. If the Fund’s shares trade at a premium to net asset value, there is no assurance that any such premium will be sustained for any period of time and will not decrease, or that the shares will not trade at a discount to net asset value thereafter.

Important Risk Information

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s net asset value and investment return will fluctuate based upon changes in the value of its portfolio securities. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective, and an investment in the Fund is not by itself a complete or balanced investment program. For a complete description of the Fund’s principal investment risks please refer to the prospectus.

Shares of the Fund are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Because ETFs trade like stocks, the Fund may trade at prices above or below the ETF's NAV. While the shares of ETFs are tradable on secondary markets, they may not readily trade in all market conditions and may trade at significant discounts in periods of market stress. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns.
