Before you invest, you may want to review the fund's Prospectus, which contains more information about the fund and its risks. You can find the fund's Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information ("SAI"), shareholder reports and other information about the fund online at https://www.carillontower.com/our-funds/fund-literature. You can also get this information at no cost by calling 800.421.4184 or by sending an email to [email protected]. The fund's Prospectus and SAI, both dated May 1, 2026 as each may be supplemented from time to time, are incorporated by reference into this Summary Prospectus.

Investment objective | The Carillon ClariVest Capital Appreciation Fund ("Capital Appreciation Fund" or the "fund") seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Fees and expenses of the fund | The tables that follow describe the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Capital Appreciation Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below. You may qualify for sales discounts if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $25,000 in the Class A shares of the Carillon Family of Funds. More information about these and other discounts, including through specific financial intermediaries, is available from your financial professional, on page 149 of the fund's Prospectus and on page 79 of the fund's Statement of Additional Information.

Shareholder fees (fees paid directly from your investment):
Class A Class C Class I Class R-6
Maximum Sales Charge Imposed on Purchases (as a % of offering price) 4.75% None None None
Maximum Deferred Sales Charge (as a % of original purchase price or redemption proceeds, whichever is lower) None (a) 1.00% (a) None None
Redemption Fee None None None None
Annual fund operating expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment):
Class A Class C Class I Class R-6
Management Fees (b) 0.50% 0.50% 0.50% 0.50%

(a) If you purchased $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares of a Carillon mutual fund that were not otherwise eligible for a sales charge waiver and sell the shares within 18 months from the date of purchase, you may pay up to a 1% contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") at the time of sale. If you sell Class C shares less than one year after purchase, you will pay a 1% CDSC at the time of sale.

(b) Management Fees have been restated to reflect the current contractual fee rate effective May 1, 2025.

Expense 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. Your costs would be the same whether you sold your shares or continued to hold them at the end of the period. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Share Class Year 1 Year 3 Year 5 Year 10
Class A $572 $778 $1,001 $1,641
Class C $278 $551 $949 $2,062
Class I $75 $233 $406 $906
Class R-6 $66 $208 $362 $810

Portfolio turnover | The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 16% of the average value of its portfolio.

Carillon ClariVest Capital Appreciation Fund

SUMMARY PROSPECTUS | 5.1. 2026

Principal investment strategies | During normal market conditions, the Capital Appreciation Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing at least 65% of its net assets in common stocks of companies that have the potential for attractive long-term growth in earnings, cash flow and total worth of the company. In addition, the portfolio management team prefers to purchase stocks that appear to be underpriced in relation to the company's long-term growth fundamentals. The portfolio management team uses fundamental and technical characteristics such as earnings revisions, valuation, free cash flow yield, and price momentum as part of its quantitative process to identify stocks for the fund's portfolio. The fund typically invests in the stocks of large- and mid-capitalization companies, but may invest in the stocks of companies of any size without regard to market capitalization. Although the portfolio management team generally does not seek to emphasize investment in any particular investment sector or industry as part of its investment process, from time to time, a significant portion of the fund may be invested in the securities of companies in the information technology sector. The fund may sell securities when they no longer meet the portfolio management team's investment criteria.

The fund may lend its securities to broker-dealers and other financial institutions to earn additional income.

Principal risks | The greatest risk of investing in the fund is that you could lose money. The fund invests primarily in securities whose values may increase and decrease in response to the activities of the companies that issued such securities, general market conditions and/or economic conditions. As a result, the fund's net asset value ("NAV") may also increase and decrease. An investment in the fund is not a deposit with a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Investments in the fund are subject to the following primary risks. The most significant risks of investing in the fund as of the date of this Prospectus are listed first below, followed by the remaining risks in alphabetical order. Each risk summarized below is considered a "principal risk" of investing in the fund, regardless of the order in which it appears. Different risks may be more significant at different times depending on market conditions or other factors.

•

Equity securities are subject to market risk. In general, the values of stocks and other equity securities fluctuate, sometimes widely, in response to changes in a company's financial condition as well as general market, economic and political conditions and other factors. The fund may invest in the following equity securities, which may expose the fund to the following additional risks:

Common stocks. The value of a company's common stock may fall as a result of factors affecting the company, companies in the same industry or sector, or the financial markets overall. Common stock generally is subordinate to preferred stock upon the liquidation or bankruptcy of the issuing company;

•

Growth stock risk is the risk of a growth company not providing an expected sales or earnings increase or dividend yield. When these expectations are not met, the prices of these stocks may decline, even if earnings showed an absolute increase. If a growth investment style shifts out of favor based on market conditions and investor sentiment, the fund could underperform funds that use a value or other non-growth approach to investing or have a broader investment style;

•

Market risk is the risk that markets may at times be volatile, and the values of the fund's holdings may decline, sometimes significantly and/or rapidly, because of adverse issuer-specific conditions or general market conditions, including a broad stock market decline, which are not specifically related to a particular issuer. Geopolitical and other events, including war, terrorism, economic uncertainty, trade disputes, pandemics, public health crises, natural disasters and related events have led, and in the future may continue to lead, to instability in world economies and markets generally and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and fixed-income markets, which may disrupt economies and markets and adversely affect the value of your investment. The imposition by the U.S. of tariffs on goods imported from foreign countries and reciprocal tariffs levied on U.S. goods by those countries also may lead to volatility and instability in domestic and foreign markets. Policy changes by the U.S. government and/or Federal Reserve and political events within the U.S. and abroad, such as changes in the U.S. presidential administration and Congress, the U.S. government's inability at times to agree on a long-term budget and deficit reduction plan, the threat or occurrence of a federal government shutdown and threats or the occurrence of a failure to increase the federal government's debt limit, which could result in a default on the government's obligations, may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree. These and other conditions may cause broad changes in market value, the general outlook for corporate earnings, public perceptions concerning these developments or adverse investment sentiment generally. Changes in the financial condition of a single issuer, industry or market segment also can impact the market as a whole. In addition, adverse market events may lead to increased redemptions, which could cause the fund to experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. Adverse market conditions may be prolonged and may not have the same impact on all types of securities. Conversely, it is also possible that, during a general downturn in the securities markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value simultaneously. Changes in value may be temporary or may last for extended periods. The financial markets generally move in cycles, with periods of rising prices followed by periods of declining prices. The value of your investment may reflect these fluctuations.

Recent market events risk includes risks arising from current and recent circumstances impacting markets. Both U.S. and international markets have experienced significant volatility in recent months and years. As a result of such volatility, investment returns may fluctuate significantly.

National economies are substantially interconnected, as are global financial markets, which creates the possibility that conditions in one country or region might adversely impact issuers in a different country or region. However, the interconnectedness of economies and/or markets may be changing, which may impact such economies and markets in ways that cannot be foreseen at this time.

SUMMARY PROSPECTUS | 5.1. 2026

Some countries, including the U.S., have adopted more protectionist trade policies, including trade tariffs and other trade barriers, which is a trend that appears to be continuing globally. Slowing global economic growth, the rise in protectionist trade policies, inflationary pressures, changes to some major international trade and security agreements, risks associated with trade and security agreements between countries and regions, including the U.S. and other foreign nations, political or economic dysfunction within some countries or regions, including the U.S., and dramatic changes in consumer sentiment, commodity prices and currency values could affect the economies and markets of many nations, including the U.S., in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen at the present time and may create significant market volatility. In addition, these policies, including the impact on the U.S. dollar, may change foreign demand for U.S. assets in ways that cannot be foreseen, which could have a negative impact on certain issuers and/or industries.

The Federal Reserve and certain foreign central banks have started to lower interest rates, though economic or other factors, such as inflation, could stop such changes. It is difficult to accurately predict the pace at which interest rates might change, the timing, frequency or magnitude of any such changes in interest rates, or when such changes might stop or again reverse course. Additionally, various economic and political factors could cause the Federal Reserve or another foreign central bank to change their approach in the future and such actions may result in an economic slowdown in the U.S. and abroad. Unexpected changes in interest rates could lead to significant market volatility or reduce liquidity in certain sectors of the market.

Deteriorating economic fundamentals may, in turn, increase the risk of default or insolvency of particular issuers, negatively impact market value, cause credit spreads to widen, and reduce bank balance sheets. Any of these could cause an increase in market volatility, reduce liquidity across various markets or decrease confidence in the markets.

Tensions, war, or open conflict between nations, such as among the United States, Israel and Iran, between Russia and Ukraine, otherwise in the Middle East or in eastern Asia could affect the economies of many nations, including the United States and may contribute to increased volatility and uncertainty in the financial markets. The extent and duration of ongoing hostilities and any sanctions and the repercussions of such events cannot be predicted. Those events have presented and could continue to present material uncertainty and risk with respect to markets globally, including in the oil and gas markets and potentially other industries and sectors, and the performance of the fund and its investments or operations could be negatively impacted.

Regulators in the U.S. have adopted a number of changes to regulations involving the markets and issuers, some of which apply to the fund. The full effect of such regulations is not currently known and certain changes to regulations could limit the fund's ability to pursue its investment strategies or make certain investments, or may make it more costly for the fund to operate, which may impact performance. Additionally, it is possible that such regulations could be further revised or rescinded, which creates material uncertainty regarding their impact to the fund.

Advancements in technology, including advanced development and increased regulation of artificial intelligence, may adversely impact market movements and liquidity. As artificial intelligence is used more widely, which can occur rapidly, the profitability and growth of certain issuers and industries may be negatively impacted in ways that cannot be foreseen and could adversely impact its performance.

High public debt in the U.S. and other countries creates ongoing systemic and market risks and policymaking uncertainty. There is no assurance that the U.S. Congress will act to raise the nation's debt ceiling; a failure to do so could cause market turmoil and substantial investment risks that cannot now be fully predicted. Unexpected political, regulatory and diplomatic events within the U.S. and abroad may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy.

Global climate change can have potential effects on property and security values. Certain issuers, industries and regions may be adversely affected by the impacts of climate change in ways that cannot be foreseen. The impact of legislation, regulation and international accords related to climate change, including any direct or indirect consequences, may negatively impact certain issuers, industries and regions;

•

Cybersecurity and technology risk. The fund, its service providers, third-party fund distribution platforms and other market participants increasingly depend on complex information technology and communications systems, including artificial intelligence, which are subject to a number of different threats and risks that could adversely affect the fund and its shareholders. Cybersecurity and other operational and technology issues may result in financial losses to the fund and its shareholders;

•

Inflation risk. Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the present value of the fund's assets and distributions may decline;

•

Issuer risk is the risk that the value of a security may decline for a reason directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer's goods or services;

•

Large cap company risk arises because large-cap companies may be less responsive to competitive challenges and opportunities, and may be unable to attain high growth rates, relative to smaller companies;

SUMMARY PROSPECTUS | 5.1. 2026

•

Management and strategy risk is the risk that the value of your investment depends on the judgment of the fund's subadviser about the quality, relative yield or value of, or market trends affecting, a particular security, industry, sector, region or market segment, or about the economy or interest rates generally. This judgment may prove to be incorrect or otherwise may not produce the intended results, which may result in losses to the fund. Investment strategies employed by the fund's subadviser in selecting investments for the fund may not result in an increase in the value of your investment or in overall performance equal to other investments;

•

Micro-capitalization company risk arises because micro-cap companies may have less predictable earnings and revenues; experience significant losses; lack an operating history, product lines, or financial resources; have volatile share prices and less liquid markets; and trade less frequently than larger, more established companies;

•

Mid-cap company risk arises because mid-cap companies may have narrower commercial markets, limited managerial and financial resources, more volatile performance, and less liquid stock, compared to larger, more established companies. Stocks of these companies often trade less frequently and in limited volume and their prices may fluctuate more than stocks of large-capitalization companies. As a result, it may be relatively more difficult for the fund to buy and sell securities of mid-capitalization companies;

•

Quantitative strategy risk is the risk that the success of the fund's investment strategy may depend in part on the effectiveness of the quantitative tools for screening securities used by ClariVest Asset Management LLC ("ClariVest"), one of the fund's subadvisers. These strategies may incorporate factors that may not be predictive of a security's value. ClariVest's stock selection can be adversely affected if it relies on insufficient, erroneous or outdated data or flawed models or computer systems. The increased use of artificial intelligence or other evolving or emerging technologies presents significant risks and may exacerbate the aforementioned risks;

•

Sector risk is the risk associated with the fund holding a core portfolio of stocks invested in similar businesses, all of which could be affected by similar economic or market conditions. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect the industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. As the fund's portfolio changes over time, the fund's exposure to a particular sector may become higher or lower.

Information technology sector risk is the risk that products of information technology companies may face rapid product obsolescence due to technological developments and frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. These companies may be smaller or newer and may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. Failure to introduce new products, develop and maintain a loyal customer base or achieve general market acceptance for their products could have a material adverse effect on a company's business. Companies in the information technology sector also may be subject to increased government scrutiny or adverse government regulatory action. Additionally, companies in the information technology sector are heavily dependent on intellectual property and the loss of patent, copyright and trademark protections may adversely affect the profitability of these companies. The market prices of information technology-related securities tend to exhibit a greater degree of interest rate risk and market risk and may experience sharper price fluctuations than other types of securities. These securities may fall in and out of favor with investors rapidly, which may cause sudden selling and dramatically lower market prices;

•

Securities lending risk is the risk that, if the fund lends its portfolio securities and receives collateral in the form of cash that is reinvested in securities, those securities may not perform sufficiently to cover the return collateral payments owed to borrowers, and the fund can lose money if investments made with cash collateral decline in value. In addition, delays may occur in the recovery of securities from borrowers, which could interfere with the fund's ability to vote proxies or to settle transactions and there may be a loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially;

•

Small-cap company risk arises because small-cap companies involve greater risks than investing in large- capitalization companies. Small-cap companies generally have lower volume of shares traded daily, less liquid stock, a more volatile share price, a limited product or service base, narrower commercial markets and more limited access to capital, compared to larger, more established companies. These factors increase risks and make these companies more likely to fail than companies with larger market capitalizations, and could increase the volatility of a fund's portfolio and performance. Generally, the smaller the company size, the greater these risks; and

•

Value stock risk arises from the possibility that a stock's intrinsic value may not be fully realized by the market or that its price may decline. If a value investment style shifts out of favor based on market conditions and investor sentiment, the fund could underperform funds that use a non-value approach to investing or have a broader investment style.

SUMMARY PROSPECTUS | 5.1. 2026

After-tax returns are calculated using the historically highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as a 401(k) plan or individual retirement account ("IRA"). After-tax returns are shown for Class I only and after-tax returns for Class A, Class C and Class R-6 will vary. The return after taxes on distributions and sale of fund shares may exceed the return before taxes due to an assumed tax benefit from any losses on a sale of fund shares at the end of the measurement period.

Investment Adviser | Carillon Tower Advisers, Inc. is the fund's investment adviser.

Subadvisers | ClariVest Asset Management LLC serves as subadviser to the fund. Tidal Investments LLC will serve as subadviser to the fund beginning on July 1, 2026.

Portfolio Managers | Ed Wagner, CFA®, Amanda Freeman, CFA®, C. Frank Feng, Ph.D., and Todd N. Wolter, CFA®, of ClariVest, are Portfolio Co-Managers of the fund. Mr. Wagner, Ms. Freeman, Dr. Feng, and Mr. Wolter are jointly and primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the fund. Messrs. Wagner and Feng have been Portfolio Co-Managers of the fund since 2013. Ms. Freeman has served as the fund's Portfolio Co-Manager since April 2024. Mr. Wolter has served as the fund's Portfolio Co-Manager since February 2019.

Purchase and sale of fund shares | You may purchase, redeem, or exchange Class A, C, and I shares of the fund on any business day through your financial intermediary, by mail at Carillon Family of Funds, c/o U.S. Bank Global Fund Services, P.O. Box 219252, Kansas City, MO 64121-9252 (for regular mail) or 801 Pennsylvania Avenue, Suite 219252, Kansas City, MO, 64105-1307 (for overnight service), or by telephone (800.421.4184). In Class A and Class C shares, the minimum purchase amount is $1,000 for regular accounts, $100 for retirement accounts and $50 through a periodic investment program, with a minimum subsequent investment plan of $50 per month.

For Class R-6 shares purchased through a participating retirement plan, the minimum initial purchase is set by the plan administrator.

Tax information | The dividends you receive from the fund will be taxed as ordinary income or net capital gain (i.e., the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss) unless you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an IRA, in which case you may be subject to federal income tax on withdrawals from the arrangement.

Payments to broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries | If you purchase shares of the fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.
