Re: Investment Managers Series Trust II (File Nos. 333-191476 and 811-22894) (the “Registrant”)
on behalf of the Tradr 2X Long ACHR Daily ETF, Tradr 2X Long APP Daily ETF, Tradr 2X Long ALAB Daily ETF, Tradr 2X Long MDB Daily ETF,
Tradr 2X Long QBTS Daily ETF, Tradr 2X Long QUBT Daily ETF, Tradr 2X Long RGTI Daily ETF, Tradr 2X Long TEM Daily ETF, Tradr 2X Long UPST

Dear Ms. O’Neal:
This letter summarizes the comments you provided
on behalf of the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 21, 2025,
regarding Post-Effective Amendment No. 439 to the Registrant’s registration statement filed on Form N-1A on February 7, 2025 (the
“Registration Statement”), with respect to the Tradr 2X Long ACHR Daily ETF, Tradr 2X Long APP Daily ETF, Tradr 2X Long ALAB
Daily ETF, Tradr 2X Long MDB Daily ETF, Tradr 2X Long QBTS Daily ETF, Tradr 2X Long QUBT Daily ETF, Tradr 2X Long RGTI Daily ETF, Tradr
2X Long TEM Daily ETF, Tradr 2X Long UPST Daily ETF and Tradr 2X Long ZS Daily ETF, each a series of the Registrant (the “Funds”).
The responses to the comments are included below
and will be reflected in a Post-Effective Amendment to the Funds’ Registration Statement (the “Amendment”), which will
be filed separately. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this letter have the meanings assigned to them in the Registration Statement.
PROSPECTUS
Fees and Expenses Tables and Expense Examples
1. Comment: Please provide the completed Fees and Expenses Tables and Expense Examples for the Funds
at least five days prior to the Registration Statement becoming effective.

2. Comment: Footnote 3 to the Fees and Expenses Table for each Fund indicates that the Advisor has
agreed to waive fees and/or pay for operating expenses of the Fund. Please confirm that this waiver will extend for a period of one year
from the date of the Fund’s prospectus.
Response:
The Registrant confirms that the Advisor will not enter into a contractual arrangement with the Funds to waive or reimburse a portion
of a Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses for at least a one-year period. Accordingly, all references to contractual fee
waivers and expense reimbursements, including Footnote 3 to each Fund’s Fees and Expenses Table, has been removed from the Prospectus.
The
Registrant confirms that each Fund operates under a unitary fee arrangement with the Fund’s Advisor. Out of the unitary management
fee, the Advisor pays substantially all operating expenses of each Fund.
In
this connection, the following disclosure has been added to the section entitled “Investment Advisor”:
Pursuant
to the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Advisor and the Trust, each Fund has agreed to pay an annual unitary management fee of
1.30% of its average daily net assets. This unitary management fee is designed to pay each Fund’s expenses and to compensate the
Advisor for the services it provides to the Fund. Out of the unitary management fee, the Advisor pays substantially all expenses of the
Fund, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other service and license fees. However, the
Advisor is not responsible for advisory fee, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in placing orders for
the purchase and sale of securities and other investment instruments, acquired fund fees and expenses, accrued deferred tax liability,
extraordinary expenses, and distribution fees and expenses paid by each Fund under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1
under the 1940 Act.

Appendix A
Fees and Expenses of the Fund

Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees

(1) The cost of investing in swaps, including the embedded cost of
the swap and the operating expenses of the referenced assets, is an indirect expense that is not included in the above fee table and
is not reflected in the expense example. The total indirect cost of investing in swaps, including the embedded cost of the swap and the
operating expenses of the referenced assets, is estimated to be [ ]% for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026.
Example
This example is intended to help you compare the
cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds.
This 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 at current levels. This example does not
include the brokerage commissions that investors may pay to buy and sell Shares.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower,
your costs, based on these assumptions would be:
One Year
