A series of Investment Managers Series Trust II (the "Trust")

Supplement dated November 18, 2024, to the

Summary Prospectus dated January 31, 2024.

Effective immediately, the First Trust Multi-Strategy Fund (the "Fund") has lowered the maximum sales charge for Class A shares of the Fund from 5.75% to 4.50% and revised the sales charge and dealer reallowance schedules with respect to Class A Shares of the Fund, which vary by the amount invested. In connection with these revisions, effective immediately, no sales charge is applied to investments in Class A Shares of $250,000 or more (previously, $1 million or more); however, to the extent a finder's fee was paid, a contingent deferred sales charge will be imposed on certain redemptions of such shares within 12 months of the date of purchase. Effective immediately, the amount of such contingent deferred sales charge is lowered from 1.00% to 0.50%. Additionally, effective immediately, the redemption fee for the Fund will be removed. Accordingly, effective immediately, all references to the redemption fees in the Summary Prospectus are deleted in their entirety.

In connection with the changes described above, the "Fees and Expenses of the Fund" section of the Summary Prospectus is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

Example

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

One Year Three Years Five Years Ten Years
Class A $653 $1,078 $1,528 $2,772
Class C $390 $883 $1,504 $3,176
Class I $181 $560 $964 $2,095

You would pay the following expenses on Class C Shares if you did not redeem your shares:

One Year Three Years Five Years Ten Years
Class C $288 $883 $1,504 $3,176
