2The management fee (which is equal to an annualized rate of 0.28% of the Fund’s average daily net assets) may fluctuate by share class (increase or decrease by up to +/- 0.06% of the average nets assets of a share class) based on the share class’ performance relative to the Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds Index measured over a rolling 36-month period. See Organization and Management of the Fund for a description of the performance adjustment.
3Victory Capital Management Inc. (the “Adviser”) has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and/or reimburse expenses so that the total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses, and other extraordinary expenses) do not exceed an annual rate of 0.48% of the Fund Shares, 0.44% of the Institutional Shares, and 0.70% of the Class A shares through at least June 30, 2024. The Adviser is permitted to recoup advisory fees waived and expenses reimbursed for up to three years after the date of the waiver or reimbursement, subject to the lesser of any operating expense limits in effect at the time of: (a) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (b) the recoupment, after giving effect to the recoupment amount. The amount of any waivers or reimbursements and the amount of any recoupment is calculated without regard to the impact of any performance adjustment to the Fund’s management fee. This agreement may only be terminated by the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

Victory Tax Exempt Long-Term Fund Summary
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, the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same, and the expense limitation agreement for each class of shares is not continued beyond its expiration date. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:
 
1 Year
3 Years
5 Years
10 Years
Fund Shares
$47
$150
$262
$590
Institutional Shares
$45
$174
$314
$724
Class A
$291
$541
$810
$1,579
The Example does not reflect sales charges (loads) on reinvested dividends and other distributions. If these sales charges (loads) were included, your costs would be higher.
Portfolio Turnover:
The Fund pays transaction costs, including 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 shares of the Fund are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance.
On June 29, 2022, the Board of Trustees of the Fund approved a change in fiscal year end of the Fund from March 31 to February 28. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, the Fund's portfolio turnover was 10% of the average value of its portfolio. For the period April 1, 2022, to February 28, 2023, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 10% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategy
The Fund invests primarily in investment-grade securities, the interest from which is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes (referred to herein as “tax-exempt securities”). During normal market conditions, at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets will consist of tax-exempt securities. The Fund’s dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity is 10 years or more.
In addition, during normal market conditions, at least 80% of the Fund’s annual net investment income dividends will be tax-exempt and excludable from the calculation of the federal alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) for individual taxpayers. This policy may be changed only by a shareholder vote.
Principal Risks
The Fund’s investments are subject to the following principal risks:
Debt Securities Risk – The value of a debt security or other income-producing security changes in response to various factors including, for example, market-related factors (such as changes in interest rates or changes in the risk appetite of investors generally) and changes in the actual or perceived ability of the issuer (or of issuers generally) to meet its (or their) obligations. Other factors that may affect the value of debt securities include, among others, public health crises and responses by governments and companies to such crises. These and other events may affect the creditworthiness of the issuer of a debt security and may impair an issuer’s ability to timely meet its debt obligations as they come due.
2

Victory Tax Exempt Long-Term Fund Summary
Credit Risk – The fixed-income securities held in the Fund's portfolio are subject to credit risk, which is the possibility that an issuer of a fixed-income security will fail to make timely interest and/or principal payments on its securities or that negative market perceptions of the issuer’s ability to make such payments will cause the price of that security to decline. The Fund accepts some credit risk as a recognized means to enhance an investor’s return. All fixed-income securities, varying from the highest quality to the very speculative, have some degree of credit risk.
Interest Rate Risk – The Fund is subject to the risk that the market value of the bonds in its portfolio will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates, changes in the supply of and demand for tax-exempt securities, and other market factors. Bond prices generally are linked to the prevailing market interest rates. In general, when interest rates rise, bond prices fall; conversely, when interest rates fall, bond prices rise. The price volatility of a bond also depends on its duration. Generally, the longer the duration of a bond, the greater is its sensitivity to interest rates. To compensate investors for this higher interest rate risk, bonds with longer durations generally offer higher yields than bonds with shorter durations. The ability of an issuer of a debt security to repay principal prior to a security’s maturity can increase the security’s sensitivity to interest rate changes.
Decisions by the U.S. Federal Reserve (also known as the “Fed”) regarding interest rate and monetary policy, which can be difficult to predict and sometimes change direction suddenly in response to economic and market events, can have a significant effect on the value of fixed-income securities as well as the overall strength of the U.S. economy. Precise interest rate predictions are difficult to make, and interest rates may change unexpectedly and dramatically in response to extreme changes in market or economic conditions. As a result, the value of fixed-income securities may vary widely under certain market conditions.
Call Risk – During a period of declining interest rates, many municipal bonds may be “called,” or redeemed, by the issuer before the stated maturity. An issuer might call, or refinance, a higher-yielding bond for the same reason that a homeowner would refinance a home mortgage. When bonds are called, the Fund is affected in several ways. Most likely, the Fund will reinvest the bond-call proceeds in bonds with lower interest rates. The Fund’s income may drop as a result. The Fund also may realize a taxable capital gain (or loss).
Liquidity Risk – Market developments and other factors, including a general rise in interest rates, have the potential to cause investors to move out of fixed-income securities on a large scale, which may increase redemptions from mutual funds that hold large amounts of fixed-income securities. Such a move, coupled with a reduction in the ability or willingness of dealers and other institutional investors to buy or hold fixed-income securities, may result in decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the fixed-income markets. Heavy redemptions of fixed-income mutual funds and decreased liquidity from fixed-income securities could hurt the Fund’s performance. In addition, significant securities market disruptions including related to the COVID-19 pandemic, have led to dislocation in the market for a variety of fixed-income securities (including municipal obligations), which has decreased liquidity and sharply reduced returns.
Large Shareholder Risk – The actions by one shareholder or multiple shareholders may have an impact on the Fund and, therefore, indirectly on other shareholders. Shareholder purchase and redemption activity may affect the per share amount of the Fund’s distributions of its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, thereby affecting the tax burden on the Fund’s shareholders subject to federal income tax. To the extent a larger shareholder (including, for example, an affiliated fund that operates as a fund-of-funds or 529 education savings plan) is permitted to invest in the Fund, the Fund may experience large inflows or outflows of cash from time to time. This activity could magnify these adverse effects on the Fund.
Management Risk – The Fund is actively managed, and the investment techniques and risk analyses used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.

Victory Tax Exempt Long-Term Fund Summary
Any investment involves risk, and there is no assurance that the Fund’s objective will be achieved. By itself, the Fund does not constitute a complete investment plan. As you consider an investment in the Fund, you also should take into account your tolerance for the daily fluctuations of the financial markets and whether you can afford to leave your money in the Fund for long periods of time to ride out down periods. As with other mutual funds, losing money is a risk of investing in the Fund.
An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
Investment Performance
The following bar chart and table are intended to help you understand some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart illustrates the Fund Shares' volatility by showing how performance has varied from year to year for each full calendar year over the past 10 years. The table shows how the average annual total returns of the share classes for the periods indicated compared to those of the Fund's benchmark index and an additional index of funds with similar investment objectives.
Performance data for the classes varies based on differences in their fee and expense structures and reflects any expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. Remember, historical performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate what will happen in the future. The Fund’s most current performance information is available on the Fund’s website at vcm.com or by calling (800) 235-8396. Effective June 29, 2020, the Fund’s Adviser Shares were redesignated Class A shares, subject to a front-end sales load and different fees and expenses. Performance of the Class A shares, therefore, is that of the Adviser Shares restated to reflect the sales load applicable to Class A shares, but not any differences in the fees and expenses.

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. In certain situations, the return after taxes on distributions and sale of fund shares may be higher than the other return amounts. The actual after-tax returns depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown. If you hold your shares through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as an individual retirement account (“IRA”) or 401(k) plan, the after-tax returns shown in the table are not relevant to you. Please note that after-tax returns are shown only for the Fund Shares and may differ for each share class.
Management of the Fund
Investment Adviser
Victory Capital Management Inc. (the “Adviser”) serves as the Fund’s investment adviser.
The Adviser is a diversified global asset manager comprised of multiple investment teams, referred to as investment franchises, each of which utilizes an independent approach to investment.

Victory Tax Exempt Long-Term Fund Summary
You may purchase or sell Fund Shares on any business day through vcm.com or by telephone at (800) 235-8396. You also may purchase or sell Fund Shares through certain other financial intermediaries. If you have opened an account directly with the Fund, you also may purchase and sell Fund Shares by mail at P.O. Box 182593, Columbus, OH 43210-2593. The Fund is not recommended for tax-deferred arrangements, such as IRAs or 401(k) plans. The Fund reserves the right to waive or lower purchase minimums in certain circumstances.
Institutional Shares are not offered for sale directly to the general public. The Fund reserves the right to waive or lower purchase minimums in certain circumstances.
For Class A shares, a $1,000 minimum initial purchase amount and a $50 minimum subsequent purchase amount apply for IRAs, gift/transfer to minor accounts, and purchases through automatic investment plans.
Certain broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries (such as a bank) may establish higher or lower minimum initial and subsequent investment amounts to which you may be subject if you invest through them.
When you buy and redeem shares, the Fund will price your transaction at the next-determined net asset value (“NAV”) after the Fund receives your request in good order, which means that your request contains all the required documentation, and that all documents contain required signatures or signature guarantees from a financial institution.
Tax Information
While the Fund is managed so that at least 80% of its annual interest income will be tax exempt, it may invest up to 20% of its assets in securities that generate income that is not tax exempt. The exemption of income for federal income tax purposes does not necessarily mean that income is exempt under the income or other tax laws of any other state or local taxing authority. Distributions of part of the Fund’s tax-exempt interest income also may be a tax preference item for purposes of the AMT. Net capital gains distributed by or reinvested in the Fund will be taxable. In addition, gains, if any, on the redemption of the Fund’s shares will be taxable.
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 such shares and certain servicing and administrative functions. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your financial adviser to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.

2 The management fee (which is equal to an annualized rate of 0.28% of the Fund’s average daily net assets) may fluctuate by share class (increase or decrease by up to +/- 0.06% of the average nets assets of a share class) based on the share class’ performance relative to the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Index measured over a rolling 36-month period. See Organization and Management of the Fund for a description of the performance adjustment.
3Victory Capital Management Inc. (the “Adviser”) has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and/or reimburse expenses so that the total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses, and other extraordinary expenses) do not exceed an annual rate of 0.48% of the Fund Shares, 0.44% of the Institutional Shares, and 0.75% of the Class A shares through at least June 30, 2024. The Adviser is permitted to recoup advisory fees waived and expenses reimbursed for up to three years after the date of the waiver or reimbursement, subject to the lesser of any operating expense limits in effect at the time of: (a) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (b) the recoupment, after giving effect to the recoupment amount. The amount of any waivers or reimbursements and the amount of any recoupment is calculated without regard to the impact of any performance adjustment to the Fund’s management fee. This agreement may only be terminated by the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

Victory Tax Exempt Intermediate-Term Fund Summary
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, the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same, and the expense limitation agreement for each class of shares is not continued beyond its expiration date. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

$1,262
The Example does not reflect sales charges (loads) on reinvested dividends and other distributions. If these sales charges (loads) were included, your costs would be higher.
Portfolio Turnover:
The Fund pays transaction costs, including 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 shares of the Fund are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance.
On June 29, 2022, the Board of Trustees of the Fund approved a change in fiscal year end of the Fund from March 31 to February 28. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, the Fund's portfolio turnover was 13% of the average value of its portfolio. For the period April 1, 2022, to February 28, 2023, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 11% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategy
The Fund invests primarily in investment-grade securities, the interest from which is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes (referred to herein as “tax-exempt securities”). During normal market conditions, at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets will consist of tax-exempt securities. The Fund’s dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity is between three and 10 years.
In addition, during normal market conditions, at least 80% of the Fund’s annual net investment income dividends will be tax-exempt and excludable from the calculation of the federal alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) for individual taxpayers. This policy may be changed only by a shareholder vote.
Principal Risks
The Fund’s investments are subject to the following principal risks:
Debt Securities Risk – The value of a debt security or other income-producing security changes in response to various factors including, for example, market-related factors (such as changes in interest rates or changes in the risk appetite of investors generally) and changes in the actual or perceived ability of the issuer (or of issuers generally) to meet its (or their) obligations. Other factors that may affect the value of debt securities include, among others, public health crises and responses by governments and companies to such crises. These and other events may affect the creditworthiness of the issuer of a debt security and may impair an issuer’s ability to timely meet its debt obligations as they come due.
8

Victory Tax Exempt Intermediate-Term Fund Summary
Credit Risk – The fixed-income securities held in the Fund's portfolio are subject to credit risk, which is the possibility that an issuer of a fixed-income security will fail to make timely interest and/or principal payments on its securities or that negative market perceptions of the issuer’s ability to make such payments will cause the price of that security to decline. The Fund accepts some credit risk as a recognized means to enhance an investor’s return. All fixed-income securities, varying from the highest quality to the very speculative, have some degree of credit risk.
Interest Rate Risk – The Fund is subject to the risk that the market value of the bonds in its portfolio will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates, changes in the supply of and demand for tax-exempt securities, and other market factors. Bond prices generally are linked to the prevailing market interest rates. In general, when interest rates rise, bond prices fall; conversely, when interest rates fall, bond prices rise. The price volatility of a bond also depends on its duration. Generally, the longer the duration of a bond, the greater is its sensitivity to interest rates. To compensate investors for this higher interest rate risk, bonds with longer durations generally offer higher yields than bonds with shorter durations. The ability of an issuer of a debt security to repay principal prior to a security’s maturity can increase the security’s sensitivity to interest rate changes.
Decisions by the U.S. Federal Reserve (also known as the “Fed”) regarding interest rate and monetary policy, which can be difficult to predict and sometimes change direction suddenly in response to economic and market events, can have a significant effect on the value of fixed-income securities as well as the overall strength of the U.S. economy. Precise interest rate predictions are difficult to make, and interest rates may change unexpectedly and dramatically in response to extreme changes in market or economic conditions. As a result, the value of fixed-income securities may vary widely under certain market conditions.
Call Risk – During a period of declining interest rates, many municipal bonds may be “called,” or redeemed, by the issuer before the stated maturity. An issuer might call, or refinance, a higher-yielding bond for the same reason that a homeowner would refinance a home mortgage. When bonds are called, the Fund is affected in several ways. Most likely, the Fund will reinvest the bond-call proceeds in bonds with lower interest rates. The Fund’s income may drop as a result. The Fund also may realize a taxable capital gain (or loss).
Liquidity Risk – Market developments and other factors, including a general rise in interest rates, have the potential to cause investors to move out of fixed-income securities on a large scale, which may increase redemptions from mutual funds that hold large amounts of fixed-income securities. Such a move, coupled with a reduction in the ability or willingness of dealers and other institutional investors to buy or hold fixed-income securities, may result in decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the fixed-income markets. Heavy redemptions of fixed-income mutual funds and decreased liquidity from fixed-income securities could hurt the Fund’s performance. In addition, significant securities market disruptions including related to the COVID-19 pandemic, have led to dislocation in the market for a variety of fixed-income securities (including municipal obligations), which has decreased liquidity and sharply reduced returns.
Large Shareholder Risk – The actions by one shareholder or multiple shareholders may have an impact on the Fund and, therefore, indirectly on other shareholders. Shareholder purchase and redemption activity may affect the per share amount of the Fund’s distributions of its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, thereby affecting the tax burden on the Fund’s shareholders subject to federal income tax. To the extent a larger shareholder (including, for example, an affiliated fund that operates as a fund-of-funds or 529 education savings plan) is permitted to invest in the Fund, the Fund may experience large inflows or outflows of cash from time to time. This activity
could magnify these adverse effects on the Fund.

Victory Tax Exempt Intermediate-Term Fund Summary
Management Risk – The Fund is actively managed, and the investment techniques and risk analyses used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
Any investment involves risk, and there is no assurance that the Fund’s objective will be achieved. By itself, the Fund does not constitute a complete investment plan. As you consider an investment in the Fund, you also should take into account your tolerance for the daily fluctuations of the financial markets and whether you can afford to leave your money in the Fund for long periods of time to ride out down periods. As with other mutual funds, losing money is a risk of investing in the Fund.
An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
Investment Performance
The following bar chart and table are intended to help you understand some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart illustrates the Fund Shares' volatility by showing how performance has varied from year to year for each full calendar year over the past 10 years. The table shows how the average annual total returns of the share classes for the periods indicated compared to those of the Fund's benchmark index and an additional index of funds with similar investment objectives.
Performance data for the classes varies based on differences in their fee and expense structures and reflects any expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. Remember, historical performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate what will happen in the future. The Fund’s most current performance information is available on the Fund’s website at vcm.com or by calling (800) 235-8396. Effective June 29, 2020, the Fund’s Adviser Shares were redesignated Class A shares, subject to a front-end sales load and different fees and expenses. Performance of the Class A shares, therefore, is that of the Adviser Shares restated to reflect the sales load applicable to Class A shares, but not any differences in the fees and expenses.

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. In certain situations, the return after taxes on distributions and sale of fund shares may be higher than the other return amounts. The actual after-tax returns depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown. If you hold your shares through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as an individual retirement account (“IRA”) or 401(k) plan, the after-tax returns shown in the table are not relevant to you. Please note that after-tax returns are shown only for the Fund Shares and may differ for each share class.

You may purchase or sell Fund Shares on any business day through vcm.com or by telephone at (800) 235-8396. You also may purchase or sell Fund Shares through certain other financial intermediaries. If you have opened an account directly with the Fund, you also may purchase and sell Fund Shares by mail at P.O. Box 182593, Columbus, OH 43210-2593. The Fund is not recommended for tax-deferred arrangements, such as IRAs or 401(k) plans. The Fund reserves the right to waive or lower purchase minimums in certain circumstances.
Institutional Shares are not offered for sale directly to the general public. The Fund reserves the right to waive or lower purchase minimums in certain circumstances.
For Class A shares, a $1,000 minimum initial purchase amount and a $50 minimum subsequent purchase amount apply for IRAs, gift/transfer to minor accounts, and purchases through automatic investment plans.
Certain broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries (such as a bank) may establish higher or lower minimum initial and subsequent investment amounts to which you may be subject if you invest through them.
When you buy and redeem shares, the Fund will price your transaction at the next-determined net asset value (“NAV”) after the Fund receives your request in good order, which means that your request contains all the required documentation, and that all documents contain required signatures or signature guarantees from a financial institution.
Tax Information
While the Fund is managed so that at least 80% of its annual interest income will be tax exempt, it may invest up to 20% of its assets in securities that generate income that is not tax exempt. The exemption of income for federal income tax purposes does not necessarily mean that income is exempt under the income or other tax laws of any other state or local taxing authority. Distributions of part of the Fund’s tax-exempt interest income also may be a tax preference item for purposes of the AMT. Net capital gains distributed by or reinvested in the Fund will be taxable. In addition, gains, if any, on the redemption of the Fund’s shares will be taxable.
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 such shares and certain servicing and administrative functions. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your financial adviser to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.

2 The management fee (which is equal to an annualized rate of 0.28% of the Fund’s average daily net assets) may fluctuate by share class (increase or decrease by up to +/- 0.06% of the average nets assets of a share class) based on the share class’ performance relative to the Lipper Short Municipal Debt Funds Index measured over a rolling 36-month period. See Organization and Management of the Fund for a description of the performance adjustment.
3Victory Capital Management Inc. (the “Adviser”) has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and/or reimburse expenses so that the total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses, and other extraordinary expenses) do not exceed an annual rate of 0.51% of the Fund Shares, 0.47% of the Institutional Shares, and 0.75% of the Class A shares through at least June 30, 2024. The Adviser is permitted to recoup advisory fees waived and expenses reimbursed for up to three years after the date of the waiver or reimbursement, subject to the lesser of any operating expense limits in effect at the time of: (a) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (b) the recoupment, after giving effect to the recoupment amount. The amount of any waivers or reimbursements and the amount of any recoupment is calculated without regard to the impact of any performance adjustment to the Fund’s management fee. This agreement may only be terminated by the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

Victory Tax Exempt Short-Term Fund Summary
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, the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same, and the expense limitation agreement for each class of shares is not continued beyond its expiration date. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

$500

$1,372
The Example does not reflect sales charges (loads) on reinvested dividends and other distributions. If these sales charges (loads) were included, your costs would be higher.
Portfolio Turnover:
The Fund pays transaction costs, including 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 shares of the Fund are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance.
On June 29, 2022, the Board of Trustees of the Fund approved a change in fiscal year end of the Fund from March 31 to February 28. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, the Fund's portfolio turnover was 16% of the average value of its portfolio. For the period April 1, 2022, to February 28, 2023, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 17% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategy
The Fund invests primarily in investment-grade securities, the interest from which is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes (referred to herein as “tax-exempt securities”). During normal market conditions, at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets will consist of tax-exempt securities. The Fund’s dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity is three years or less.
In addition, during normal market conditions, at least 80% of the Fund’s annual net investment income dividends will be tax-exempt and excludable from the calculation of the federal alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) for individual taxpayers. This policy may be changed only by a shareholder vote.
Principal Risks
The Fund’s investments are subject to the following principal risks:
Debt Securities Risk – The value of a debt security or other income-producing security changes in response to various factors including, for example, market-related factors (such as changes in interest rates or changes in the risk appetite of investors generally) and changes in the actual or perceived ability of the issuer (or of issuers generally) to meet its (or their) obligations. Other factors that may affect the value of debt securities include, among others, public health crises and responses by governments and companies to such crises. These and other events may affect the creditworthiness of the issuer of a debt security and may impair an issuer’s ability to timely meet its debt obligations as they come due.
14

Victory Tax Exempt Short-Term Fund Summary
Credit Risk – The fixed-income securities held in the Fund's portfolio are subject to credit risk, which is the possibility that an issuer of a fixed-income security will fail to make timely interest and/or principal payments on its securities or that negative market perceptions of the issuer’s ability to make such payments will cause the price of that security to decline. The Fund accepts some credit risk as a recognized means to enhance an investor’s return. All fixed-income securities, varying from the highest quality to the very speculative, have some degree of credit risk.
Interest Rate Risk – The Fund is subject to the risk that the market value of the bonds in its portfolio will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates, changes in the supply of and demand for tax-exempt securities, and other market factors. Bond prices generally are linked to the prevailing market interest rates. In general, when interest rates rise, bond prices fall; conversely, when interest rates fall, bond prices rise. The price volatility of a bond also depends on its duration. Generally, the longer the duration of a bond, the greater is its sensitivity to interest rates. To compensate investors for this higher interest rate risk, bonds with longer durations generally offer higher yields than bonds with shorter durations. The ability of an issuer of a debt security to repay principal prior to a security’s maturity can increase the security’s sensitivity to interest rate changes.
Decisions by the U.S. Federal Reserve (also known as the “Fed”) regarding interest rate and monetary policy, which can be difficult to predict and sometimes change direction suddenly in response to economic and market events, can have a significant effect on the value of fixed-income securities as well as the overall strength of the U.S. economy. Precise interest rate predictions are difficult to make, and interest rates may change unexpectedly and dramatically in response to extreme changes in market or economic conditions. As a result, the value of fixed-income securities may vary widely under certain market conditions.
Call Risk – During a period of declining interest rates, many municipal bonds may be “called,” or redeemed, by the issuer before the stated maturity. An issuer might call, or refinance, a higher-yielding bond for the same reason that a homeowner would refinance a home mortgage. When bonds are called, the Fund is affected in several ways. Most likely, the Fund will reinvest the bond-call proceeds in bonds with lower interest rates. The Fund’s income may drop as a result. The Fund also may realize a taxable capital gain (or loss).
Structural Risk – Some tax-exempt securities are subject to special risks due to their unique structure. For instance, variable-rate demand notes (“VRDNs”) generally are long-term municipal bonds combined with a demand feature, which represents the right to sell the instrument back to the remarketer or liquidity provider, usually a bank, for repurchase on short notice, normally one day or seven days. Because the demand feature is dependent upon the bank, the Fund will only purchase VRDNs of this type where it believes that the banks would be able to honor their guarantees on the demand feature. Some VRDNs, sometimes referred to as “structured instruments” or “synthetic instruments,” are created by combining an intermediate- or long-term municipal bond with a right to sell the instrument back to the remarketer or liquidity provider for repurchase on short notice, referred to as a “tender option.” However, the tender option usually is subject to a conditional guarantee, which means that the bank is not required to pay under the guarantee if there is a default by the municipality or if certain other events occur. Because there is the risk that the Fund will not be able to exercise the demand feature at all times, the Fund will not purchase a synthetic instrument of this type unless the Fund believes there is minimal risk that the Fund will not be able to exercise the tender option at all times. The Fund will not purchase a synthetic instrument unless counsel for the issuer has issued an opinion that interest paid on the instrument is entitled to tax-exempt treatment.
Liquidity Risk – Market developments and other factors, including a general rise in interest rates, have the potential to cause investors to move out of fixed-income securities on a large scale, which may increase redemptions from mutual funds that hold large amounts of fixed-income securities. Such a move, coupled with a reduction in the ability or willingness of dealers and other institutional investors to buy or hold fixed-income securities, may result in decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the fixed-income markets. Heavy redemptions of fixed-income mutual funds and decreased
15

Victory Tax Exempt Short-Term Fund Summary
liquidity from fixed-income securities could hurt the Fund’s performance. In addition, significant securities market disruptions including related to the COVID-19 pandemic, have led to dislocation in the market for a variety of fixed-income securities (including municipal obligations), which has decreased liquidity and sharply reduced returns.
Large Shareholder Risk – The actions by one shareholder or multiple shareholders may have an impact on the Fund and, therefore, indirectly on other shareholders. Shareholder purchase and redemption activity may affect the per share amount of the Fund’s distributions of its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, thereby affecting the tax burden on the Fund’s shareholders subject to federal income tax. To the extent a larger shareholder (including, for example, an affiliated fund that operates as a fund-of-funds or 529 education savings plan) is permitted to invest in the Fund, the Fund may experience large inflows or outflows of cash from time to time. This activity could magnify these adverse effects on the Fund.
Management Risk – The Fund is actively managed, and the investment techniques and risk analyses used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
Any investment involves risk, and there is no assurance that the Fund’s objective will be achieved. By itself, the Fund does not constitute a complete investment plan. As you consider an investment in the Fund, you also should take into account your tolerance for the daily fluctuations of the financial markets and whether you can afford to leave your money in the Fund for long periods of time to ride out down periods. As with other mutual funds, losing money is a risk of investing in the Fund.
An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
Investment Performance
The following bar chart and table are intended to help you understand some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart illustrates the Fund Shares' volatility by showing how performance has varied from year to year for each full calendar year over the past 10 years. The table shows how the average annual total returns of the share classes for the periods indicated compared to those of the Fund's benchmark index and an additional index of funds with similar investment objectives.
Performance data for the classes varies based on differences in their fee and expense structures and reflects any expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. Remember, historical performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate what will happen in the future. The Fund’s most current performance information is available on the Fund’s website at vcm.com or by calling (800) 235-8396. Effective June 29, 2020, the Fund’s Adviser Shares were redesignated Class A shares, subject to a front-end sales load and different fees and expenses. Performance of the Class A shares, therefore, is that of the Adviser Shares restated to reflect the sales load applicable to Class A shares, but not any differences in the fees and expenses.

Principal Investment Strategy
The Fund invests primarily in high-quality securities, the interest of which is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes (referred to herein as “tax-exempt securities”), with remaining maturities of 397 days or less. During normal market conditions, at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets will consist of tax-exempt securities.
20

Victory Tax Exempt Money Market Fund Summary
In addition, during normal market conditions, at least 80% of the Fund’s annual net investment income will be tax-exempt and excludable from the calculation of the federal alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) for individual taxpayers. This policy may be changed only by a shareholder vote.
In pursuing its investment objective and implementing its investment strategies, the Fund will comply with Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“Rule 2a-7”). Accordingly, the Fund restricts its investments to instruments that meet certain maturity and quality requirements under Rule 2a-7. Generally, such investments will be limited to a security with a remaining maturity of 397 calendar days or less that is determined to present minimal credit risk; issued by a money market fund; or issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any agency or instrumentality thereof.
Under applicable federal securities laws, money market funds that qualify as “retail” (retail money market funds) or “government” (government money market funds) are permitted to utilize amortized cost to value their portfolio securities and to transact at a stable $1 NAV per share. The Fund operates as a retail money market fund in compliance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7; and as a retail money market fund, shares of the Fund are available for sale only to accounts that are beneficially owned by natural persons.
Principal Risks
The Fund’s investments are subject to the following principal risks:
Stable Net Asset Value Risk You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. The Fund may impose a fee upon the sale of your shares or may temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares if the Fund’s liquidity falls below required minimums because of certain market conditions or other factors. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or any other government agency. The Fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the Fund at any time.
Credit Risk – The fixed-income securities held in the Fund's portfolio are subject to credit risk, which is the possibility that an issuer of a fixed-income security will fail to make timely interest and/or principal payments on its securities or that negative market perceptions of the issuer’s ability to make such payments will cause the price of that security to decline. The Fund accepts some credit risk as a recognized means to enhance an investor’s return. All fixed-income securities, varying from the highest quality to the very speculative, have some degree of credit risk.
Interest Rate Risk – The Fund also is subject to the possibility that the value of its investments will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates, changes in supply of and demand for tax-exempt securities, or other market factors.
Decisions by the U.S. Federal Reserve (also known as the “Fed”) regarding interest rate and monetary policy, which can be difficult to predict and sometimes change direction suddenly in response to economic and market events, can have a significant effect on the value of fixed-income securities as well as the overall strength of the U.S. economy. Precise interest rate predictions are difficult to make, and interest rates may change unexpectedly and dramatically in response to extreme changes in market or economic conditions. As a result, the value of fixed income-securities may vary widely under certain market conditions.
Structural Risk – Some tax-exempt securities are subject to special risks due to their unique structure. For instance, variable-rate demand notes (“VRDNs”) generally are long-term municipal bonds combined with a demand feature, which represents the right to sell the instrument back to the remarketer or liquidity provider, usually a bank, for repurchase on short notice, normally one day or seven days.

The Fund will not purchase a synthetic instrument unless counsel for the issuer has issued an opinion that interest paid on the instrument is entitled to tax-exempt treatment.
Management Risk – The Fund is actively managed, and the investment techniques and risk analyses used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
Liquidity Fees and Gates – The Fund may impose liquidity fees on redemptions and/or temporarily suspend redemptions (gates) if the Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below certain thresholds, such as during times of market stress. The imposition of a liquidity fee would reduce the amount you would receive upon redemption of your shares of the Fund. The imposition of a redemption gate also would delay your ability to redeem your investments in the Fund.
Any investment involves risk, and there is no assurance that the Fund’s objective will be achieved. As you consider an investment in the Fund, you also should take into account your tolerance for the daily fluctuations of the financial markets.

Victory Tax Exempt Money Market Fund Summary
Tax Information
While the Fund is managed so that at least 80% of its annual interest income will be tax exempt, it may invest up to 20% of its assets in securities that generate income that is not tax exempt. The exemption of income for federal income tax purposes does not necessarily mean that income is exempt under the income or other tax laws of any other state or local taxing authority. Distributions of part of the Fund’s tax-exempt interest income also may be a tax preference item for purposes of the AMT.
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 such shares and certain servicing and administrative functions. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your financial adviser to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.

Additional Fund Information
Victory Capital Management Inc., which we refer to as the “Adviser”
throughout the Prospectus, manages each Fund.
The Funds are managed by the Adviser, who also manages other funds, each having distinct investment management objectives, strategies, risks, and policies. Together, these funds are referred to in this Prospectus as the “Victory Funds” or, more simply, the “Funds.”
Each Fund has a common investment objective of providing investors with interest income that is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes (“tax-exempt”). The Victory Tax Exempt Money Market Fund has a further objective of preserving capital and maintaining liquidity. Each Fund has separate investment policies to achieve its objective. The Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”) may change a Fund’s investment objective without shareholder approval. The Funds will provide shareholders notice of any such change.
Each Fund invests its assets primarily in investment-grade securities, the interest from which, in the opinion of counsel to the issuer, is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes (referred to herein as “tax-exempt securities”) but may be subject to state and local taxes.
These securities include municipal debt obligations that have been issued by states and their political subdivisions and duly constituted state and local authorities and corporations, as well as securities issued by certain U.S. territories or possessions, such as Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, or Guam. Tax-exempt securities generally are issued to fund public infrastructure projects such as streets and highways, schools, water and sewer systems, hospitals, and airports. Securities also may be issued to refinance outstanding obligations as well as to obtain funds for general operating expenses and for loans to other public institutions and facilities. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, interest paid on a bond issued after December 31, 2017, to advance refund another bond is subject to federal come tax.
During normal market conditions, at least 80% of each Fund’s annual net investment income dividends will be excluded from a shareholder’s gross income for federal income tax purposes (exempt-interest dividends). Furthermore, it is our intention generally to purchase only securities that pay interest income exempt from federal income tax. In addition, at least 80% of each Fund’s annual income (and, therefore, its net investment income dividends) will not be a tax preference item for puproses of the federal AMT (“Tax Preference Item”). However, since their inception, none of the Funds have distributed any income that is a Tax Preference Item for individual taxpayers. We could reconsider this policy based on changes to federal tax laws, our understanding of the implication of those laws to our shareholders, or market dynamics. However, of course, changes in federal tax laws or other unforeseen circumstances could result in a Funds earning income that is a Tax Preference Item. These policies may be changed only by a shareholder vote.
However, gains and losses realized from trading securities, including tax-exempt securities, that occur during the normal course of managing a Fund may result in net realized capital gain distributions. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), treats these distributions differently than exempt-interest dividends in the following ways:
Distributions of the excess of net short-term capital gain over net long-term capital loss are taxable as ordinary income.
Distributions of the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss are taxable as long-term capital gains, regardless of the length of time you have held your shares in a Fund.
Distributions of both short-term and long-term net realized capital gains are taxable whether received in cash or reinvested in additional shares.
25

Additional Fund Information
Each Fund is considered diversified under the federal securities laws, which generally means that each Fund must comply with certain limitations on the amount that it may invest in any single issuer. For further discussion of diversification, see Investment Objectives, Practices, Policies, and Risks in the SAI.
In addition, as a money market fund, the Victory Tax Exempt Money Market Fund, will invest its assets in accordance with strict SEC guidelines relating to the credit quality, liquidity, and diversification of the Fund’s investment.
A Fund also may not invest more than 25% of its assets in securities issued in connection with the financing of projects with similar characteristics, such as toll road revenue bonds, housing revenue bonds, electric power project revenue bonds, or in industrial development revenue bonds that are based, directly or indirectly, on the credit of private entities of any one industry. However, a Fund may invest more than 25% of its assets in tax-exempt industrial development revenue bonds. The 25% industry limitation does not apply to U.S. government securities, general obligation bonds, or bonds that are escrowed.
Some of the bonds purchased for a Fund are secured by bond insurance that guarantees scheduled principal and interest payments. In addition, we may purchase bond insurance for individual uninsured securities when we believe it will provide an anticipated benefit to a Fund. However, this insurance may not eliminate the risk of investing in the issuer.
Each Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive positions that are inconsistent with the Funds' principal investment strategies in attempting to respond to adverse market, economic, political, or other conditions. The effect of taking such a temporary defensive position is that a Fund may not achieve its investment objective. To the extent that these temporary investments produce taxable income, that income may result in that Fund not fully achieving its investment objective during the time it is in the temporary defensive posture.
Victory Tax Exempt Long-Term Fund, Victory Tax Exempt Intermediate-Term Fund, and Victory Tax Exempt Short-Term Fund
The differences in the Funds are in the weighted average maturities of all the securities in the portfolios. Generally, the longer the maturity, the higher the yield and the greater the price volatility.
Fund
Portfolio Weighted Average Maturity
Victory Tax Exempt Long-Term Fund
10 years or more
Victory Tax Exempt Intermediate-Term Fund
3–10 years
Victory Tax Exempt Short-Term Fund
3 years or less
Within these limitations, a Fund may purchase individual securities with stated maturities greater or less than the Fund’s weighted average maturity limits. In certain circumstances, such as when a bond is expected to be repaid either entirely or partially in advance of its stated maturity date, estimates of the expected time for its principal to be paid may be used when calculating a Fund’s weighted average maturity. This can be substantially shorter than its stated final maturity. For a discussion of the method of calculating the weighted average maturities of these Funds’ portfolios, see Investment Objectives, Practices, Policies, and Risks in the Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”).
Under normal market conditions, each Fund’s assets will be invested so that at least 50% of the total market value of the tax-exempt securities are rated within the three highest long-term rating categories (A or higher) or in the highest short-term rating category by such rating agencies as Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”).
Investment-grade securities include securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities, as well as securities rated or subject to a guarantee of an obligor that is rated within the categories listed by at least one of the Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating
26

Additional Fund Information
Organizations (“NRSROs”). Below are investment-grade ratings for two of the current NRSROs approved by the SEC:
Rating Agency
Long-Term Debt Securities
Short-Term Debt Securities
Moody’s
At least Baa3
At least Prime–3 or MIG 3
S&P
At least BBB–
At least A–3 or SP–2
If a security does not meet the requirements set forth above or is unrated, the Fund’s Adviser will make a determination that the unrated security is of equivalent investment quality to a comparable security of the same issuer that is rated by a NRSRO.
On occasion, we may pay a rating agency to rate a particular security when we believe it will provide an anticipated benefit to a Fund. On securities possessing a third-party guarantor, we reserve the right to place such security in the rating category of the underlying issuer (or if unrated in the comparable rating category as determined by us), if the third-party guarantor is no longer relied upon for ratings eligibility.
Each Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in securities that at the time of purchase are below-investment-grade securities (also known as “junk” bonds).
You will find a further description of tax-exempt ratings in the SAI.
Victory Income Investors
We manage the tax-exempt funds based on the common sense premise that our investors value tax-exempt income over taxable capital gain distributions. When weighing the decision to buy or sell a security, we strive to balance the amount of the tax-exempt income, the credit risk of the issuer, and the price volatility of the bond. We generally intend to hold investments until maturity, resulting in lower portfolio turnover in the Funds, although these intentions may be adjusted in response to the market or other events.
Victory Tax Exempt Money Market Fund
The Fund’s investments consist of high-quality securities that qualify as eligible securities under the federal securities laws that apply to money market funds. In general, an eligible security is defined as a security that is:
Determined to present minimal credit risks to the Fund;
Issued by a money market fund; or
Issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any agency or instrumentality thereof, including
“prerefunded” and “escrowed to maturity” tax-exempt securities.
27

Additional Fund Information
We will endeavor to maintain a constant NAV of $1 per share; however, there is no assurance that we will be able to do so. Remember, the shares are neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. government. As such, the Fund carries some risk. For example, there is always a risk that the issuer of a security held by the Fund will fail to pay interest or principal when due. We attempt to minimize this credit risk by investing only in securities that present minimal credit risk.
In making the determination as to whether a particular investment presents minimal credit risks, we consider, among other things, the issuer or guarantor’s financial condition, sources of liquidity, ability to react to future marketwide and issuer- or guarantor-specific events, the strength of the issuer or guarantor’s industry within the economy, and the issuer or guarantor’s competitive position within its industry. We also may consider comparative prices/yields of the security, certain asset-specific factors, as well as ratings received by the NRSROs.
There also is a risk that rising interest rates will cause the value of the Fund’s securities to decline. Certain of the securities in which the Fund may invest pay interest at a rate that is periodically adjusted, referred to as adjustable rate securities. We attempt to minimize this interest rate risk by limiting the maturity of each security to 397 days or less and by maintaining a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity (“WAM”) for the Fund of 60 days or less and a weighted average life (“WAL”) of 120 days or less. The maturity of each security is calculated based upon SEC guidelines.
Finally, there is the possibility that one or more investments in the Fund may cease to qualify as an “eligible security” resulting in the NAV ceasing to be $1 per share.
Under the federal securities laws applicable to money market funds, retail money market funds and government money market funds are permitted to utilize amortized cost to value their portfolio securities and to transact at a stable NAV of $1 per share. The Fund qualifies as a retail money market fund in compliance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7; and as a retail money market fund, shares of the Fund are available for sale only to accounts that are beneficially owned by natural persons.
Victory Income Investors
We balance factors such as credit quality and maturity to purchase the best relative value available in the market at any given time. A decision to sell usually is based on a change in our credit opinion or to take advantage of an opportunity to reinvest at a higher yield.
28

Investments
The following describes the types of securities each Fund may purchase under normal market conditions to achieve its principal investment strategy. Each Fund’s assets may be invested in, among other things, any of the following tax-exempt securities, except as otherwise noted:
General Obligation Bonds
Secured by the issuer’s pledge of its full faith, credit, and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest.
Revenue Bonds
Payable from the revenue derived from a particular facility or class of facilities or, in some cases, from the proceeds of a special excise tax or other specific revenue source, but not from the general taxing power.
Municipal Lease Obligations
Backed by the municipality’s covenant to budget for the payments due under the lease obligation.
Industrial Development Revenue Bonds
Issued by or on behalf of public authorities to obtain funds for privately operated facilities, such as pollution control revenue bonds.
Inverse Floating Rate Securities
Securities with coupons that vary inversely with changes in short-term tax-exempt interest rates and, thus, are considered leveraged investments in an underlying municipal bond. Up to 10% of each Fund except the Victory Money Market Fund's net assets may be invested in inverse floating rate securities (or securities with similar economic characteristics). These securities present special risks for two reasons: (1) if short-term interest rates rise (fall), the income the Fund earns on the inverse floating rate security will fall (rise); and (2) if long-term interest rates rise (fall) the value of the inverse floating rate security will fall (rise) more than the value of the underlying bond because of the leveraged nature of the investment. The Victory Tax Exempt Long-Term, Victory Tax Exempt Intermediate-Term, and Victory Tax Exempt Short-Term Funds may seek to buy these securities at attractive values and yields that over time more than compensate the Fund for the securities’ price volatility.
Securities Offered on a When-Issued or Delayed-Delivery Basis
Delivery and payment take place after the date of the commitment to purchase, normally within 35 days, both price and interest rate are fixed at the time of commitment, the Fund does not earn interest on the securities until settlement, and the market value of the securities may fluctuate between purchase and settlement. Such securities can be sold before settlement date. Securities that require more than 35 days to settle are considered senior securities and are treated as a derivative.
Synthetic Instruments
Combine a municipality’s obligation to pay interest and principal with the obligation of a third party to repurchase the instrument on short notice.
Variable-Rate Demand Notes (“VRDNs”)
Provide the right to sell the security at face value on either that day or within the rate-reset period. The interest rate is adjusted at a stipulated daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or other specified time interval to reflect current market conditions. VRDNs normally trade as if the maturity is the earlier put date, even though stated maturity is longer.
29

Risk Factors
The following provides additional information about some of the Funds’ principal risks and supplements those risks discussed in each Fund's Summary section of this Prospectus. The Funds’ SAI provides more detail about these risks and other risks that each Fund may be subject to that are not considered to be primary risks.
Credit Risk: Credit risk is the possibility that an issuer of a fixed-income security will fail to make timely interest and/or principal payments on its securities or that negative market perceptions of the issuer’s ability to make such payments will cause the price of that security to decline. All fixed-income securities, varying from the highest quality to the very speculative, have some degree of credit risk and may apply to certain other securities in which the Fund may invest. The Fund accepts some credit risk as a recognized means to enhance investors’ return. Market events may affect the creditworthiness of the issuer of a fixed-income security and may impair an issuer’s ability to timely meet its debt obligations as they come due.
When evaluating potential investments for the Fund, our analysts independently assess credit risk and its potential impact on the Fund’s portfolio. In addition, credit rating agencies may provide estimates of the credit quality of the potential investment. The ratings may not take into account every risk that interest and/or principal will be repaid on a timely basis. Lower credit ratings typically correspond to higher perceived credit risk and higher credit ratings typically correspond to lower perceived credit risk. Securities in the lowest-rated investment-grade category have speculative characteristics. Credit ratings do not provide assurance against default or other loss of money. Nevertheless, even investment-grade securities typically are subject to some credit risk. We also attempt to minimize the Fund’s overall credit risk by diversifying the Fund’s investments across many securities with slightly different risk characteristics and across different economic sectors and geographic regions. Thus, if a random credit event should occur, such as a default, the Fund generally would suffer a smaller loss than if the Fund were concentrated in relatively large holdings with highly correlated risks. If a security has not received a rating, the Fund must rely entirely upon the Adviser’s credit assessment.
Securities rated below investment grade (“junk” or high-yield bonds) should be regarded as speculative because their issuers are more susceptible to financial setbacks and recession than more creditworthy companies. If the Fund invests in securities whose issuers develop unexpected credit problems, the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) could decline. Changes in economic conditions or other circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capability to make principal and interest payments on these securities than on higher-rated securities.
Interest Rate Risk: As a mutual fund investing in bonds, each Fund is subject to the risk that the market value of the bonds in a Fund’s portfolio will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates, changes in supply and demand for tax-exempt securities, or other market factors. Bond prices are linked to the prevailing market interest rates. In general, when interest rates rise, bond prices fall; and when interest rates fall, bond prices rise. The price volatility of a bond also depends on its duration. Duration is a measure that relates the expected price volatility of a bond to changes in interest rates. The duration of a bond may be shorter than or equal to the full maturity of a bond. Generally, the longer the duration of a bond, the greater is its sensitivity to interest rates. For example, a bond with a duration of three years will decrease in value by approximately 3% if interest rates increase by 1%. To compensate investors for this higher interest rate risk, bonds with longer durations generally offer higher yields than bonds with shorter durations. To compensate investors for this higher interest rate risk, bonds with longer durations generally offer higher yields than bonds with shorter durations.
If interest rates increase, the yield of each Fund may increase and the market value of the Victory Tax Exempt Long-Term, Victory Tax Exempt Intermediate-Term, and Victory Tax Exempt Short-Term Funds' securities may decline, adversely affecting each Fund’s NAV and total return.
30

Risk Factors
If interest rates decrease, the yield of each Fund may decrease, and the market value of the Victory Tax Exempt Long-Term, Victory Tax Exempt Intermediate-Term, and Victory Tax Exempt Short-Term Funds' securities may increase, which may increase each Fund’s NAV and total return.
Changes in government monetary policy, including changes in a central bank’s (e.g., the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”)) implementation of specific policy goals, may have a substantial impact on interest rates, which in turn can significantly impact the value of the Fund’s investments. There can be no assurance that a central bank’s policy will be continued, discontinued, or changed, or that any such policy will have the desired effect. A central bank’s policy changes and related market speculation as to the timing of potential interest rate changes may expose fixed-income markets to heightened volatility and may reduce liquidity for certain Fund investments, causing the value of the Fund’s investments and share price to decline. For example, market developments and other factors, including a general rise in interest rates, have the potential to cause investors to move out of fixed-income securities on a large scale, which may increase redemptions from funds that hold large amounts of fixed-income securities. Such a move, coupled with a reduction in the ability or willingness of dealers and other institutional investors to buy or hold fixed-income securities, may result in decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the fixed-income markets. Heavy redemptions of fixed-income mutual funds and decreased liquidity of fixed-income securities could hurt the Fund’s performance.
Decisions by the Fed regarding interest rate and monetary policy can have a significant effect on the value of debt securities as well as the overall strength of the U.S. economy. Precise interest rate predictions are difficult to make, and interest rates may change unexpectedly and dramatically in response to extreme changes in market or economic conditions. Until recently, interest rates had been unusually low in recent years in the United States and abroad, and central banks had reduced rates further in an effort to combat the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. In light of current market conditions, the Fed has raised interest rates from historically low levels in a short time period. Changes to interest rates may not work as intended, and the impact on various markets that interest rate or other significant policy changes may have is unknown.
Call Risk: Many municipal bonds may be “called,” or redeemed, by the issuer before the stated maturity. During a period of declining interest rates, an issuer might call, or refinance, a higher-yielding bond for the same reason that a homeowner would refinance a home mortgage.
Intermediate- and long-term municipal bonds have the greatest call risk because most municipal bonds may not be called until after 10 years from the date of issue. The period of “call protection” may be longer or shorter than 10 years; but regardless, bonds purchased closest to the date of issue will have the most call protection. Typically, bonds with original maturities of 10 years or less are not callable.
Although bond prices rise when interest rates drop, falling interest rates create the environment necessary to “call” the higher-yielding bonds from a Fund. When bonds are called, a Fund is affected in several ways. Most likely, we must reinvest the bond-call proceeds at lower interest rates. A Fund’s income may drop as a result. A Fund also may realize a taxable capital gain (or loss).
Liquidity Risk: Liquidity in the tax-exempt bond market may be reduced for a number of reasons including as a result of overall economic conditions and credit tightening. During times of reduced market liquidity, there may be little trading in the secondary market for particular bonds and other debt securities, which may make them more difficult to value or sell at the time desired.
In addition, significant securities market disruptions related to outbreaks and subsequent spikes in infection rates of the coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) have led to dislocation in the market for a variety of fixed-income securities (including municipal obligations), which has decreased liquidity and sharply reduced returns.
31

Risk Factors
Structural Risk: VRDNs generally are long-term municipal bonds with a demand feature that is used to shorten the maturity. The demand feature represents the right to sell the security back to the remarketer or liquidity provider for repurchase on short notice, normally one day or seven days. Usually, the demand feature is backed by a letter of credit or similar guarantee from a bank. Since we are relying on the demand feature to shorten maturity, the ability to exercise the demand feature would be dependent upon the bank. We would only purchase VRDNs where we were comfortable that the banks would be able to honor their obligation on the demand feature.
Some VRDNs, sometimes referred to as “structured instruments” or “synthetic instruments,” are created by combining an intermediate- or long-term municipal bond with a right to sell the instrument back to the remarketer or liquidity provider for repurchase on short notice, referred to as a “tender option.” Usually, the tender option is backed by a letter of credit or similar guarantee from a bank. The guarantee, however, typically is conditional, which means that the bank is not required to pay under the guarantee if there is a default by the municipality or if certain other events occur. We will not purchase a synthetic instrument unless counsel for the issuer has issued an opinion that interest paid on the instrument is entitled to tax-exempt treatment. We will not purchase a synthetic instrument unless we believe there is only minimal risk that we will not be able to exercise our tender option.
Large Shareholder Risk: Each Fund, like all mutual funds, pools the investments of many investors. Actions by one shareholder or multiple shareholders may have an impact on a Fund and, therefore, indirectly on other shareholders. For example, significant levels of new investments in a Fund by shareholders may cause a Fund to have more cash than would otherwise be the case, which might have a positive or negative impact on Fund performance. Similarly, redemption activity might cause a Fund to sell portfolio securities, which may increase transaction costs and might generate a capital gain or loss, or cause it to borrow funds on a short-term basis to cover redemptions, which would cause a Fund to incur costs that, in effect, would be borne by all shareholders, not just the redeeming shareholders. Shareholder purchase and redemption activity also may affect the per share amount of a Fund’s distributions of its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, thereby affecting the tax burden on a Fund’s shareholders subject to federal income tax. To the extent a larger shareholder (including, for example, an affiliated fund that operates as a fund-of-funds or 529 education savings plan) is permitted to invest in a Fund, a Fund may experience large inflows or outflows of cash from time to time. This activity could magnify these adverse effects on a Fund.
Management Risk: Each Fund is subject to management risk, which is the possibility that the investment techniques and risk analyses used in managing a Funds' portfolio will not produce the desired results.
Changes in Tax Law Risk: In order to attempt to pay interest that is exempt from federal or state and local income tax, tax-exempt securities must meet certain legal requirements. Failure to meet such requirements may cause the interest earned and distributed to shareholders by a Fund to be taxable. In addition, interest from one or more municipal bonds held by a Fund could be declared taxable because of unfavorable changes in tax or other laws, adverse interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or state tax authorities, or noncompliant conduct of a bond issuer. Changes or proposed changes in federal or state income tax or other laws also may cause the prices of tax-exempt securities to fall. Since inception, none of the Funds have distributed any income that is a Tax Preference Item for individual taxpayers; and we do not intend to invest in any securities that earn any such income in the future. A portion of a Fund’s otherwise exempt-interest dividends may be taxable to shareholders subject to the federal AMT due to federal tax law changes or other unforeseen circumstances.
Liquidity Fee and Redemption Gate Risk: The Victory Tax Exempt Money Market Fund may impose liquidity fees or temporarily suspend redemptions for a period of up to 10 business days in any 90-day period if the weekly liquidity of the Fund’s assets falls below a certain threshold, subject to the determination by the Fund’s Board that such liquidity fee or redemption gate is in the best interest of
32

Risk Factors
the Fund. If the weekly liquidity of the Fund’s assets falls below 30% of its total assets, the Fund may either impose a liquidity fee of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed or temporarily suspend redemptions. If the weekly liquidity of the Fund’s assets falls below 10% of its total assets, the Fund must impose a minimum 1% liquidity fee on redemptions, unless the Fund’s Board determines that imposing such liquidity fee is not in the best interests of the Fund. The imposition of a liquidity fee would reduce the amount you would receive upon redemption of your shares of the Fund. The imposition of a redemption gate would delay your ability to redeem your investments in the Fund.
Redemption Risk: Each Fund may experience periods of heavy redemptions that could cause the Fund to sell assets at inopportune times or at a loss or depressed value. Redemption risk is heightened during periods of declining or illiquid markets. Heavy redemptions could hurt the Fund's performance. Market developments and other factors, including a general rise in interest rates, have the potential to cause investors to move out of fixed-income securities on a large scale, which may increase redemptions from mutual funds that hold large amounts of fixed-income securities. The market making capacity of dealers has been reduced in recent years, in part as a result of structural changes, such as fewer proprietary trading desks at broker-dealers and increased regulatory capital requirements. In addition, significant securities market disruptions related to outbreaks and subsequent spikes of infection rates of COVID-19 have led to dislocation in the market for a variety of fixed-income securities (including, without limitation, commercial paper, corporate debt securities, certificates of deposit, asset-backed debt securities, and municipal obligations), which has decreased liquidity and sharply reduced returns. Increased redemptions from mutual funds that hold large amounts of fixed-income securities, coupled with a reduction in the ability or willingness of dealers and other institutional investors to buy or hold fixed-income securities, may result in decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the fixed-income markets.

Organization and Management of the Funds
The Funds' Board of Trustees has the overall responsibility for overseeing the management of each Fund.
The Investment Adviser
Victory Capital Management Inc. (the “Adviser”), a New York corporation that is registered as an investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), serves as the investment adviser to the Funds pursuant to an investment advisory agreement. Subject to the authority of the Board, the Adviser is responsible for the overall management and administration of the Funds' business affairs. The Adviser is responsible for selecting the Funds' investments according to its investment objective, policies, and restrictions. As of May 31, 2023, the Adviser managed and advised assets totaling in excess of $154.8 billion for individual and institutional clients. The Adviser’s principal address is 15935 La Cantera Pkwy, San Antonio, Texas 78256.
A discussion regarding the basis of the Board’s approval of the Funds' Advisory Agreement is available in the Funds' most recent annual report to shareholders for the period ended February 28.
The Adviser is a diversified global asset manager comprised of multiple investment teams, referred to as investment franchises, each of which utilizes an independent approach to investment. Victory Income Investors, a Victory Capital investment franchise, is responsible for the day-to-day investment management of each Fund.
Each Fund’s investment management fee is comprised of a base investment management fee and, except for the Victory Tax Exempt Money Market Fund, a performance adjustment. The base investment management fee for each Fund, which is accrued daily and paid monthly, is equal to an annualized rate of 0.28% of each Fund’s average daily net assets.
The performance adjustment for each of the Funds is calculated separately for each share class on a monthly basis and is added to or subtracted from the base investment management fee depending upon the performance of the respective share classes relative to the performance of a Lipper Index over the performance period. The performance adjustment for each class is calculated monthly by comparing the Fund’s performance to that of the Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds Index, Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Index, or Lipper Short Municipal Debt Funds Index, as applicable. The performance period for each share class consists of the current month plus the previous 35 months (or the number of months since the date of the investment advisory agreement, if shorter). The adjustment rate is determined as referenced in the following chart:

1 Based on the difference between the average annual performance of the relevant share class of the Fund and its relevant Lipper index, rounded to the nearest basis point.
To determine the amount of the performance adjustment, the annual performance adjustment rate is multiplied by the average daily net assets of each respective share class over the entire performance period, which then is multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the month and the denominator of which is 365 (366 in leap years). The resulting amount then is added to (in the case of overperformance) or subtracted from (in the case of underperformance) the base investment management fee.

Organization and Management of the Funds
Victory Tax Exempt Long-Term Fund
For the fiscal period ended February 28, 2023, performance adjustments were (0.02)%, less than (0.01)%, and (0.04)% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A, respectively. The performance adjustment rate included in the investment advisory fee may differ from the maximum over/under Annual Adjustment Rate due to differences in average net assets for the reporting period and rolling 36-month performance period.
Victory Tax Exempt Intermediate-Term Fund
For the fiscal period ended February 28, 2023, performance adjustments were 0.01%, 0.02%, and (0.01)% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A, respectively. The performance adjustment rate included in the investment advisory fee may differ from the maximum over/under Annual Adjustment Rate due to differences in average net assets for the reporting period and rolling 36-month performance period.
Victory Tax Exempt Short-Term Fund
For the fiscal period ended February 28, 2023, performance adjustments were (0.02)%, less than (0.01)%, and (0.08)% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A, respectively. The performance adjustment rate included in the investment advisory fee may differ from the maximum over/under Annual Adjustment Rate due to differences in average net assets for the reporting period and rolling 36-month performance period.
Under the performance fee arrangement, each share class of the Fund will pay a positive performance fee adjustment for a performance period whenever a share class outperforms each Fund’s relative Index over that period, even if the share class had overall negative returns during the performance period. A performance adjustment may have a disproportionate impact on the performance of a share class with a smaller level of assets compared to a Fund’s other share classes with larger asset levels.
See Fund Fees and Expenses in this prospectus for information about any contractual agreement agreed to by the Adviser to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses with respect to each Fund. From time to time, the Adviser also may voluntarily waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in amounts exceeding those required to be waived or reimbursed under any contractual agreement that may be in place with respect to each Fund.
Each Fund is authorized, although the Adviser has no present intention of using such authority, to use a “manager-of-managers” structure. The Adviser could select (with approval of the Board and without shareholder approval) one or more subadvisers to manage the day-to-day investment of the Funds' assets. The Adviser would monitor each subadviser’s performance through quantitative and qualitative analysis and periodically report to the Board as to whether a subadviser’s agreement should be renewed, terminated, or modified. The Adviser also would be responsible for determining how the Funds' assets should be allocated to the subadvisers. The allocation for a subadviser could range from 0% to 100% of the Funds' assets, and the Adviser could change the allocations without shareholder approval.

Investing with the Victory Funds
If you are looking for a convenient way to open an account or to add money to an existing account, we can help. The sections that follow will serve as a guide to your investment with the Victory Funds. These sections describe many of the share classes currently offered by the Victory Funds. Choosing a Share Class will help you decide which share class may be to your advantage to buy.
Keep in mind that Institutional Shares and Class R6 shares are available for purchase only by eligible shareholders. In addition, not all Victory Funds offer each class of shares described below; and therefore, certain classes may be discussed that are not necessarily offered by a Fund. The classes of shares that are offered by a Fund are those listed on the cover page designated with a ticker symbol. A Fund also may offer other share classes in different prospectuses.
This section of the prospectus also describes how to open an account, how to access information about your account, and how to buy, exchange, and sell shares of a Fund. Note, this information may vary if you invest through a third party such as a brokerage firm and will be dependent on that firm’s policies and practices. Consult your Investment Professional for specific details.
We want to make it simple for you to do business with us. If you have questions about any of this information, please call your investment professional or one of our customer service representatives at (800) 235-8396. They will be happy to assist you.
An Investment Professional is an investment consultant, salesperson, financial planner,
investment adviser, or trust officer who provides you with investment information.
Your Investment Professional also can help you decide which share class is best for you.
Investment Professionals and other financial intermediaries may charge fees for their services.

Share Classes
When you purchase shares of the Fund, you must choose a share class. The Fund offers the share classes listed on the prospectus cover designated with their ticker symbol. Each share class represents an interest in the same portfolio of securities and is not a separate mutual fund. The classes differ in the sales charges, if any, and expenses that apply to your investment, allowing you and your Investment Professional to choose the class that best suits your investment needs.
Deciding which share class best suits your investment needs depends on a number of factors that you should discuss with your Investment Professional, including: whether you are eligible to invest in a particular class, how long you expect to hold your investment, how much you intend to invest in the Fund, and the total expenses associated with each share class.
The Fund reserves the right, without notice, to change the eligibility criteria for purchasing a particular share class. For example, a class of shares may be available to purchase only by retirement plans or by institutional investors. The Fund also may waive any applicable eligibility criteria or investment minimums at its discretion. In addition, a fund or any class may be closed at any time for failure to achieve an economical level of assets or for other reasons.
Certain financial intermediaries who hold shares on behalf of their customers impose fees when the amount of shares of a particular class falls below a minimum threshold. To the extent that the amount of shares falls below that threshold, the Fund reserves the right to liquidate the shares held in accounts maintained by the financial intermediary.
Shares of the Funds are only available for sale in the United States and certain other areas subject to U.S. jurisdiction and may not be offered for sale in non-U.S. jurisdictions, except as approved by the Adviser. Investors residing outside of the United States (except those with Air/Army Post Office (“APO”), Fleet Post Office (“FPO”), or Diplomatic Post Office (“DPO”) addresses) generally may not purchase shares of the Funds, even if they are U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents.
The Victory Tax Exempt Money Market Fund has been designated as a retail money market fund. Accordingly, shares of the Victory Tax Exempt Money Market Fund are available for sale only to accounts beneficially owned by natural persons (for example, an account owned by an individual who has a Social Security number). If the Fund later determines that a shareholder is not a natural person, that shareholder will be provided at least 60 days’ written notice and then redeemed out of the Fund.

Eligibility Requirements to Purchase Fund Shares
You may open an account directly with the Fund and purchase Fund Shares on the Internet, by telephone, or by mail. The Victory Tax Exempt Money Market Fund only offers Fund Shares. Fund Shares also are available through certain financial intermediaries.
If Fund Shares are purchased through a retirement account or an Investment Professional (i.e., financial intermediary), the policies and procedures relating to these purchases may differ from those discussed in this prospectus. Additional fees also may apply to your investment in a Fund, including a transaction fee, if you buy or sell shares of a Fund through a broker or other Investment Professional. For more information on these fees, check with your Investment Professional.
Eligibility Requirements to Purchase Institutional Shares
The Institutional Shares may be purchased by or through:
Institutional and individual investors with a minimum investment in Institutional Shares of $1,000,000 who purchase through certain broker-dealers or directly from the transfer agent;
Investors who purchase through advisory programs with an approved financial intermediary in which the financial intermediary typically charges the investor a fee based upon the value of the account (“Advisory Programs”). Such transactions may be subject to additional rules or requirements of the applicable Advisory Program; or
Brokerage platforms of firms that have agreements with the Distributor to offer such shares solely when acting as an agent for the investor and the investor may be required to pay a commission and/or other forms of compensation to the broker; or
Institutional investors, which include retirement plans, endowments, foundations, and bank trusts, as well as Affiliated Funds, and other persons or legal entities that the Fund may approve from time to time.
A Fund may allow a lower initial investment if, in the opinion of the Distributor, the investor has the adequate intent and availability of assets to reach a future level of investment of $1,000,000.
Eligibility Requirements to Purchase Class A and Class C Shares
Class A and Class C shares generally are made available through broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries and are subject to certain sales charges described below.
Calculation of Sales Charges for Class A Shares
For historical expense information, see the “Financial Highlights”
at the end of this Prospectus.
Class A shares are sold at their public offering price, which is the NAV plus any applicable initial sales charge, also referred to as the “front-end sales load.” The sales charge may be reduced or eliminated for larger purchases, as detailed below or as described under Sales Charge Reductions and Waivers for Class A Shares. The investment levels required to obtain a reduced sales charge are commonly referred to as “breakpoints.”
All Class A purchases are subject to the terms described herein except for those purchases made through an intermediary specified in Appendix A – Variations in Sales Charge Reductions and Waivers Available Through Certain Intermediaries.
In order to obtain a breakpoint discount, you must inform the Victory Funds or your investment professional at the time you purchase shares of the existence of the other Victory accounts or purchases of Victory Funds that are eligible to be linked for the purpose of calculating the initial sales

A contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 0.75% may be imposed on certain redemptions of Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge if any of those shares are redeemed within 18 months of purchase. This charge will be based on either the cost of the shares or NAV at the time of redemption, whichever is lower. No CDSC is imposed on shares representing reinvested distributions. You may be eligible for a reduction or waiver of this CDSC under certain circumstances. See CDSC Reductions and Waivers for Class A Shares and Appendix A - Variations in Sales Charge Reductions and Waivers Available Through Certain Intermediaries for details.
Sales Charge Reductions and Waivers for Class A Shares
There are several ways you can combine multiple purchases of Class A shares of the Victory
Funds to take advantage of reduced sales charges or, in some cases, eliminate sales charges.
There are a number of ways you can reduce your sales charges, which we describe below. In order to obtain a Class A sales charge reduction or waiver, you must provide your financial intermediary or the Funds, at the time of purchase, with current information regarding shares of any Victory Funds held in other accounts. This information must include account statements or other records (including written representations from the intermediary holding the shares) that indicate any accounts (e.g., retirement accounts) established (i) with the Victory Funds and your investment professional; (ii) with other financial intermediaries; and (iii) in the name of immediate family household members (spouse or domestic partner and children under 21) with regard to Rights of Accumulation.
The availability of a sales charge reduction or waiver discussed below will depend upon whether you purchase your shares directly from the Fund or through a financial intermediary. If you are eligible for a sales charge reduction because you own shares of other Victory Funds, you must notify the Fund or your financial intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying you for sales charge reductions or waivers. Some intermediaries impose different policies for sales charge waivers and reductions. These variations are described in Appendix A — Variations in Sales Charge Reductions and Waivers Available Through Certain Intermediaries. Except as described with respect to the intermediaries specified in Appendix A, all Class A shares are subject to the terms stated below. In order to obtain waivers and discounts that are not available through your intermediary, you must purchase Fund shares directly from the Fund or through another intermediary.
You can find additional information regarding sales charges and their reductions, free of charge, at vcm.com/policies, by clicking on Victory Funds Pricing Policies.
You may reduce or eliminate the sales charge applicable to Class A shares in a number of ways:
Breakpoint – Purchase a sufficient amount to reach a breakpoint (see Calculation of Sales Charges for Class A Shares above);
Letter of Intent – If you anticipate purchasing $50,000 or more of Class A shares of the Fund, including any purchase of other Victory Funds of any share class (except money market funds
40

Investing with the Victory Funds
and assets held in group retirement plans) within a 13-month period, you may qualify for a sales charge breakpoint as though you were investing the total amount in one lump sum. In order to qualify for the reduced sales charge, you must submit a non-binding Letter of Intent (the “Letter”) within 90 days of the start of the purchases. Each investment you make after signing the Letter will be entitled to the sales charge applicable to the total investment indicated in the Letter. You must start with a minimum initial investment of at least 5.00% of the total amount you intend to purchase. A portion of the shares purchased under the Letter will be held in escrow until the total investment has been completed. In the event you do not complete your commitment set forth in the Letter in the time period specified, sufficient escrowed shares will be redeemed to pay any applicable front-end sales charges;
Right of Accumulation – Whereas a Letter of Intent allows you to qualify for a discount by combining your current purchase amount with purchases you intend to make in the near future, a Right of Accumulation allows you to reduce the initial sales charge on a Class A investment by combining the amount of your current purchase with the current market value of prior investments made by you, your spouse (including domestic partner), and your children under age 21 in any class of shares of any Victory Funds (except money market funds and any assets held in group retirement plans). The value of eligible existing holdings will be calculated by using the greater of the current value or the original investment amount. To ensure that you receive a reduced price using the Fund’s Right of Accumulation, you or your Investment Professional must inform the Funds that the Right applies each time shares are purchased and provide sufficient information to permit confirmation of qualification;
Reinstatement Privilege – You may reinvest at NAV all or part of your redemption proceeds within 90 days of a redemption of Class A shares of the Fund;
Waiver – The Victory Funds will completely waive the sales charge for Class A shares in the following cases:
Purchases of $250,000 or more;
Purchases by certain individuals associated with the Victory Funds or service providers (see Eligibility of Individuals Associated with the Victory Funds and Fund Service Providers);
Purchases by registered broker-dealers, financial intermediaries or their agents, or affiliates who have agreements with the Fund’s distributor (the “Distributor”), if the shares are purchased for their own account, purchased for retirement plans of their employees, or sold to registered representatives or full-time employees (or their immediate families), provided that such purchase is for one of the foregoing types of accounts;
Purchases for trust or other advisory accounts established with a financial institution and fee-based investment products or accounts;
Reinvestment of proceeds from a liquidation distribution of Class A shares of Victory Funds held in a deferred compensation plan, agency, trust, or custody account;
Purchases by retirement plans, including Section 401 and 457 plans sponsored by a Section 501(c)(3) organization and certain non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements that operate in a similar manner to qualified plans. Investors nonetheless may be charged a fee if they effect transactions in Class A shares through a broker or agent;
Purchases by participants in no transaction fee programs offered by certain broker-dealers (sometimes referred to as “supermarkets”);
Purchases by certain financial intermediaries who offer shares to self-directed investment brokerage accounts that may or may not charge a transaction fee to its customers;
Investors that have an investment account with the Adviser; and
Individuals who reinvest the proceeds of redemptions from Institutional Shares or Class R6 shares of Victory Funds within 60 days of redemption.
41

Investing with the Victory Funds
You should inform the Fund or your investment professional at the time of purchase of the sales charge waiver category that you believe applies.
CDSC for Class A Shares
A contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 0.75% may be imposed on certain redemptions of Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge if any of those shares are redeemed within 18 months of purchase. This charge will be based on either the cost of the shares or NAV at the time of redemption, whichever is lower. No CDSC is imposed on shares representing reinvested distributions.
More information is available in CDSC Reductions and Waivers for Class A and Class C Shares and Appendix A – Variations in Sales Charge Reductions and Waivers Available Through Certain Intermediaries. All Class A purchases are subject to the terms described herein except for those purchases made through the intermediaries specified in Appendix A.
CDSC for Class C Shares
You will pay a 1.00% CDSC on any Class C shares you sell within 12 months of purchase. The CDSC is based on the current value of the shares being sold or their NAV when purchased, whichever is less. There is no CDSC on shares you acquire by reinvesting your dividends or capital gains distributions. You may be eligible for reduction or waiver of this CDSC under certain circumstances. There is no CDSC imposed when you exchange your shares for Class C shares of another Victory Fund; however, your exchange is subject to the same CDSC schedule that applied to your original purchase.
An investor may, within 90 days of a redemption of Class C shares, reinvest all or part of the redemption proceeds in the Class C shares of any Victory Fund at the NAV next computed after receipt by the transfer agent of the reinvestment order. Class C share proceeds reinvested do not result in a refund of any CDSC paid by the shareholder, but the reinvested shares will be treated as CDSC-exempt upon reinvestment. The shareholder must ask the Distributor for such privilege at the time of reinvestment.
To keep your CDSC as low as possible, each time you sell shares we will first sell any shares in your account that are not subject to a CDSC. If there are not enough of these to meet your sale, we will sell the shares in the order they were purchased.
More information is available in CDSC Reductions and Waivers for Class A and Class C Shares and Appendix A – Variations in Sales Charge Reductions and Waivers Available Through Certain Intermediaries.
CDSC Reductions and Waivers for Class A and Class C Shares
No CDSC is imposed on redemptions of Class A and Class C shares in the following circumstances:
To the extent that the shares redeemed:
are no longer subject to the holding period for such shares;
resulted from reinvestment of distributions; or
were exchanged for shares of another Victory Fund as allowed by the prospectus, provided that the shares acquired in such exchange or subsequent exchanges will continue to remain subject to the CDSC, if applicable, calculated from the original date of purchase until the applicable holding period expires. In determining whether the CDSC applies to each redemption, shares not subject to a CDSC are redeemed first;
Following the death or post-purchase disability of:
a registered shareholder on an account; or
a settlor of a living trust, of shares held in the account at the time of death or initial determination of post-purchase disability;
42

Investing with the Victory Funds
Distributions from individual retirement accounts, Section 403(b), Section 457, and Section 401 qualified plans, where redemptions result from:
required minimum distributions with respect to that portion of such contributions that does not exceed 12% annually;
tax free returns of excess contributions or returns of excess deferral amounts;
distributions on the death or disability of the account holder;
distributions for the purpose of a loan or hardship withdrawal from a participant plan balance; or
distributions as a result of separation of service;
Distributions as a result of a Qualified Domestic Relations Order or Domestic Relations Order required by a court settlement;
In instances where the investor’s dealer or institution waived its commission in connection with the purchase and notifies the Distributor prior to the time of investment;
When the redemption is made as part of a Systematic Withdrawal Plan (including dividends), up to an annual amount of 12% of the account value on a per fund basis, at the time the withdrawal plan is established; or
Participant-initiated distributions from employee benefit plans or participant-initiated exchanges among investment choices in employee benefit plans.
Eligibility Requirements to Purchase Class R6 Shares

Endowment funds and foundations;
Retirement plans, including Section 401 and 457 plans, section 403 plans sponsored by a section 501(c)(3) organization, employer sponsored benefit plans (including health savings accounts) and certain non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements that operate in a similar manner to qualified plans;
Advisory Programs with an approved financial intermediary in which the financial intermediary typically charges the investor a fee based upon the value of the account; and

Eligibility of Individuals Associated with the Funds and Fund Service Providers
Current and retired trustees of Victory-advised funds and the officers, directors, trustees, employees, and family members of employees of the Adviser or Affiliated Providers are eligible to purchase the lowest expense share class offered by the Fund. In the case of Class A shares, such purchases are not subject to a front-end sales charge. “Affiliated Providers” are affiliates of the Adviser and organizations that provide services to Victory Portfolios III (the “Trust”).
A Fund reserves the right to change the criteria for eligible investors
and the investment minimums.
Additional Information Regarding Financial Intermediaries
Your ability to purchase, exchange, redeem, and transfer shares will be affected by the policies of the financial intermediary through which you do business. Some policy differences may include: minimum investment requirements, exchange policies, fund choices, cutoff time for investments, and trading restrictions.
In addition, your financial intermediary may charge a transaction or other fee for the purchase or sale of shares of the Fund. Those charges are retained by the financial intermediary and are not shared with us. Please contact your financial intermediary or plan sponsor for a complete description of its policies.
Copies of each Fund's annual report, semi annual report, and SAI are available from your financial intermediary or plan sponsor.

How to Buy Shares
Opening an Account With the Funds
You may purchase shares directly from the Fund or through certain investment professionals (e.g., financial intermediaries) as described below. If you already have an account with us, you will not need to fill out another application to invest in another fund, including other funds managed by the Adviser (together with the Fund, we refer to these as the “Affiliated Funds” or so simply as the “Funds”), unless the registration is different or we need further information to verify your identity.
As required by federal law, we must obtain certain information from you prior to opening an account with us. If we are unable to verify your identity, we may refuse to open your account, or we may open your account and take certain actions without prior notice to you, including restricting account transactions pending verification of your identity. You may be asked for a copy of your driver’s license, passport, or other identifying documents as part of this process which may be cross-referenced against a consumer report or other electronic database. Additional information may be required to open accounts for corporations and other entities. If we subsequently are unable to verify your identity within a reasonable time, we may close your account or take other appropriate action. If your account is closed for this reason, your shares will be redeemed at the next calculated NAV. We prohibit opening accounts for certain investors, including but not limited to, foreign financial institutions, shell banks, correspondent accounts for foreign shell banks, and correspondent accounts for foreign financial institutions. A “foreign shell bank” is a foreign bank without a physical presence in any country. A “correspondent account” is an account established for a foreign bank to receive deposits from, or to make payments or other disbursements on behalf of, the foreign bank, or to handle other financial transactions related to such foreign bank.
Each shareholder named on an account with us must provide a Social Security number or other taxpayer identification number to avoid “backup” tax withholding required by the Code.
Effective Date of Purchase
Purchase, exchange, and redemption requests are not processed until received in proper form. “Proper form” means actual receipt of the order along with all information and supporting documentation necessary to effect the transaction. Complete information may include any verification or confirmation of identity that the transfer agent or other authorized Fund agent may request. For purchase requests, “proper form” also generally includes receipt of sufficient funds to effect the purchase. Each Fund, its transfer agent, or any authorized Fund agent may, in its sole discretion, determine whether any particular transaction request is in good order and reserve the right to change or waive any good order requirement at any time. Financial intermediaries may have their own requirements for recognizing a transaction in proper form or good order. If you hold your shares through a financial intermediary, please contact them for specific proper form or good order requirements.
When you make a purchase, your purchase price will be the NAV per share next calculated after we or the financial intermediary receive your request in “proper form.” Each Fund’s NAV per share is calculated as of the close of the regular trading session (generally 4 p.m. Eastern time) of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) each day it is open for trading. If we or the financial intermediary receive your purchase request in proper form prior to that time, your purchase price will be the NAV per share calculated for that day. If we or the financial intermediary receive your purchase request in proper form after that time, the purchase price will be the NAV per share calculated as of the close of the next regular trading session of the NYSE.
As discussed in more detail under How to Sell Shares, the Victory Tax Exempt Money Market Fund may impose a liquidity fee or redemption gate when the weekly liquidity of its assets falls below a certain threshold. The Fund will notify shareholders of the imposition and lifting of any liquidity fee
45

How to Buy Shares
or redemption gate via the Fund’s website. Any unprocessed purchase order received prior to such notification will be treated as canceled unless reconfirmed/valid and processed accordingly.
The Funds or the Distributor or transfer agent may enter into agreements with Servicing Agents (such as financial intermediaries or plan sponsors), which hold shares of a Fund in omnibus accounts for their customers, under which the Servicing Agents are authorized to receive orders for shares of a Fund on a Fund’s behalf. Under these arrangements, a Fund will be deemed to have received an order when an authorized Servicing Agent receives the order. Accordingly, customer orders will be priced at the respective Fund’s NAV per share next calculated after they are received by an authorized Servicing Agent even though the orders may be transmitted to the Fund by the Servicing Agent after the time a Fund calculates its NAV.
Paying for Your Initial Purchase
If you hold an account directly with a Fund and you plan to purchase shares from us with a check, the instrument must be written in U.S. dollars and drawn on a U.S. bank. In addition, initial purchases into an account by electronic funds transfer or check may be held for up to 30 days before any redemptions may be processed. We do not accept the following foreign instruments: checks, money orders, traveler’s checks, or other similar instruments. In addition, we do not accept cash or coins. If you plan to purchase shares through a financial intermediary, please check with that financial intermediary regarding acceptable forms of payment.
Minimum Investments
Fund Shares:
$3,000. However, financial intermediaries may set different investment minimums, and a Fund reserves the right to waive or lower purchase minimums in certain circumstances.
Institutional Shares:
$1 million. However, the Fund reserves the right to waive or lower purchase minimums in certain circumstances.
Class A and Class C Shares:
$2,500 minimum IRAs. However, financial intermediaries may set different investment minimums, and a Fund reserves the right to waive or lower purchase minimums in certain circumstances.
If your account falls below the minimum investment amount, we may ask you to reestablish the minimum investment. If you do not do so within 60 days, we may close your account and send you the value of your account.
The minimum investment required to open an account may be waived or lowered for employees and immediate family members of the employee of the Adviser, the Administrator, and their affiliates. In addition, the minimum investment required may be waived when the Fund is purchased through an Advisory Program or within qualified retirement plans or in other similar circumstances.
Class R6 Shares:
There is no minimum initial investment amount for Class R6 shares. However, financial intermediaries or plan recordkeepers may require plans to meet different investment minimums.

How to Exchange Shares and Class Conversions
There may be limits on the ability to exchange between certain Victory Funds.
You can obtain a list of Victory Funds available for exchange by calling
(800) 235-8396 or by visiting VictoryFunds.com
The shares of any class of a Fund may be exchanged for the shares of any other class offered by the Fund or the same class, or any other class, of any other Victory Funds, either through your investment professional or directly through the Fund, subject to the conditions described below:
Exchanges are subject to any CDSC, minimum investment limitation, or eligibility requirements described in the applicable prospectus and SAI. You may be required to provide sufficient information to establish eligibility to exchange into a new share class.
To exchange between Victory Funds, the other Victory Fund you wish to exchange into must be eligible for exchange with your Fund.
Shares of the Victory Fund selected for exchange must be available for sale in your state of residence.
If you have questions about these, or any of the Fund’s other exchange policies, please consult your customer service representative or your Investment Professional before requesting an exchange.
Before exchanging, you should read the prospectus of the Fund you wish to exchange into, which may be subject to different risks, fees, and expenses.
Other Exchange Rules You Should Know
If you have opened an account directly with a Fund, you may make exchanges on vcm.com. After we receive the exchange orders, the Fund’s transfer agent will simultaneously process exchange redemptions and purchases at the share prices next calculated pursuant to the procedures set forth herein. See Effective Date of Purchase for additional information. The investment minimums applicable to share purchases also apply to exchanges.
If you hold shares of a Fund in an account with a financial intermediary or plan sponsor, the policies and procedures on an exchange may differ from those discussed in this prospectus. Additional fees also may apply to your investment in a Fund, including a transaction fee, if you buy, sell, or exchange shares of a Fund through a broker or other Investment Professional. For more information on these fees, check with your Investment Professional.
An exchange of Fund shares for shares of another Victory Fund constitutes a sale for tax purposes unless the exchange is made within an IRA or other tax-deferred account.
The Fund may refuse any exchange purchase request if the Adviser determines that the request is associated with a market timing strategy. The Fund may terminate or modify the exchange privilege at any time upon 60 days’ notice to shareholders.
For information on how to exchange shares of a Fund that were purchased through your employer’s retirement plan, including any restrictions and charges that the plan may impose, please consult your employer.

How to Exchange Shares and Class Conversions
Class C Share Conversion
Class C shares of the Fund will automatically convert to Class A shares in the month following the eight-year anniversary date of the purchase of the Class C shares. Your financial intermediary may have a conversion schedule that is shorter than eight years. Class C conversions will be effected at the relative NAV of each such class without the imposition of any sales charge, fee or other charge.
You may be able to voluntarily convert your Class C shares before the stated anniversary to a different share class of the same Fund that has a lower total annual operating expense ratio provided certain conditions are met. This voluntary conversion feature is intended for shares held through a financial intermediary offering a fee-based or wrap fee program that has an agreement with the Adviser or the Distributor specific for this purpose. Generally, Class C shares are not eligible for conversion until the applicable CDSC period has expired. Please contact your financial intermediary for additional information.
Other Conversions
Under certain circumstances, we may convert your (i) Institutional Shares to Fund Shares and (ii) Class A shares to Fund Shares or Institutional Shares, as applicable. The Fund will notify you before any such conversion occurs.
The Fund also may provide for other conversion privileges from time to time under which a shareholder of the Fund may convert shares into another class of shares of the same Fund under certain circumstances, subject to approval by the Fund’s officers. For example, subject to approval by the Fund’s officers, a shareholder may convert shares of one class of the Fund held through an eligible advisory program into shares of another class of the Fund (if available) with a lower expense ratio, provided that following the conversion the shareholder meets applicable eligibility requirements for the class into which the shareholder seeks to convert (as described in this prospectus).
Pricing
When a conversion occurs, you receive shares of one class of a fund for shares of another class of the same fund. At the time of conversion, the dollar value of the “new” shares you receive equals the dollar value of the “old” shares that were converted. In other words, the conversion has no effect on the value of your investment in the fund at the time of the conversion. However, the number of shares you own after the conversion may be greater than or less than the number of shares you owned before the conversion, depending on the NAVs per share of the two share classes. A conversion between share classes of the same fund is a non-taxable event.
Conversions are not subject to the Funds' restrictions on short-term trading activity discussed under Excessive Short-Term Trading.

How to Sell Shares
Shareholders will receive a redemption price of the NAV per share next calculated after we receive the redemption request in “proper form” as provided under Effective Date of Purchase. If we receive the redemption request in proper form prior to the close of the NYSE’s regular trading session (generally 4 p.m. Eastern time), the redemption price will be the NAV per share calculated for that day. If we receive the redemption request after that time, the redemption price will be the NAV per share calculated as of the close of the next regular trading session of the NYSE.
Under certain circumstances and when deemed to be in the Fund’s best interests, proceeds may not be sent to intermediaries for up to seven days after receipt of the redemption order.
There are a number of convenient ways to sell your shares.
If you have a direct account with a Fund, you may redeem Fund Shares on the Internet, by telephone, or by mail on any day the NAV per share is calculated. You can use the same mailing addresses listed under the section titled How to Buy Shares.
By Internet
Log on to your account using vcm.com and place your redemption request.
By Telephone
Call toll free (800) 235-8396 during normal business hours. You have the following options for receiving your redemption proceeds:
Mail a check to the address of record;
Wire funds to a previously designated domestic financial institutional;
Mail a check to a previously designated alternate address; or
Electronically transfer your redemption via EFT to a previously designated domestic financial institution.
Each Fund has undertaken certain authentication procedures regarding telephone transactions and will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone are genuine. Before any discussion regarding your account, we will obtain certain information from you to verify your identity. Additionally, your telephone calls may be recorded or monitored, and confirmations of account transactions are sent to the address of record or by electronic delivery to your designated e-mail address.
By Mail
Use the regular U.S. mail or overnight mail address to redeem shares. Send us a letter of instruction indicating your Fund account number, amount of redemption, and where to send the proceeds.
By Wire
If you want to receive your proceeds by wire, you must establish a Fund account that will accommodate wire transactions. If you call before the close of trading on the NYE, your funds will be wired on the next business day.
By Electronic Funds Transfer (“EFT”)
Normally, your redemptions will be processed on the same day, but will be processed on the next day if received after close of trading on the NYSE. It will be transferred by EFT as long as the transfer is to a domestic bank.

How to Sell Shares
Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates
The Victory Tax Exempt Money Market Fund may impose liquidity fees or temporarily suspend redemptions for a period of up to 10 business days in any 90-day period if the weekly liquidity of the Fund’s assets falls below a certain threshold, subject to the determination by the Fund’s Board that such liquidity fee or redemption gate is in the best interest of the Fund. If the weekly liquidity of the Fund’s assets falls below 30% of its total assets, the Fund may either impose a liquidity fee of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed or temporarily suspend redemptions. If the weekly liquidity of the Fund’s assets falls below 10% of its total assets, the Fund must impose a minimum 1% liquidity fee on redemptions, unless the Fund’s Board determines that imposing such liquidity fee is not in the best interests of the Fund. The Victory Tax Exempt Money Market Fund will notify shareholders of the imposition and lifting of any liquidity fee or redemption gate via the Fund’s website. When the redemption of the Fund’s shares has been suspended, redemption orders will not be accepted until the Fund has notified shareholders that the redemption gate has been lifted. Any redemption order pending during the imposition of a redemption gate will be cancelled without notice and any shareholder that wishes to redeem will need to submit a new request for redemption. Liquidity fees may be used to offset any losses to the Fund when it seeks to process redemption requests during periods of market stress. Although the tax treatment of liquidity fees is unclear, currently it is expected that a liquidity fee will not have a tax effect for the Fund. If the weekly liquidity of the Fund’s assets falls below 10% of its total assets, the Fund’s Board may determine to stop honoring redemptions and liquidate the Fund. In such case, the Fund would first notify the SEC. The Fund would provide notification to shareholders on its website.
Additional Information About Redemptions
Each Fund may elect to suspend the redemption of shares or postpone the date of payment in limited circumstances (e.g., if the NYSE is closed or when permitted by order of the SEC).
Under normal market conditions, each Fund typically expects to meet redemption requests by paying out proceeds from cash or cash equivalent portfolio holdings, or by selling portfolio holdings. Under deteriorating market conditions or market stress, a Fund also may borrow to meet redemption requests. A Fund and the other Affiliated Funds are limited as to the amount that each may individually and collectively borrow in these circumstances. As a result, borrowings available to a Fund may be insufficient to satisfy Fund redemption requests. In addition, each Fund reserves the right to honor redemption orders wholly or partly with in-kind distributions of Fund portfolio securities instead of cash.
Fund Shares:
If you hold Fund Shares through an account directly with a Fund, a Fund typically expects to pay out redemption proceeds on the next business day after your order is received in proper form; however, it may take up to seven days to send your proceeds.
Payment for redemption of shares purchased by electronic funds transfer (“EFT”) or check will be sent after the EFT or check has cleared, which could take up to 30 days from the initial purchase date into the Fund and, for any subsequent purchases into the Fund, seven business days from the purchase date.
If you choose to have your redemption proceeds mailed to you and either the U.S. Postal Service is unable to deliver the distribution check to you or the check remains outstanding for more than six months, the Fund reserves the right to reinvest the check in shares of the Fund at its then current NAV until you give the Fund different instructions. No interest will accrue on amounts represented by uncashed redemption checks.
52

How to Sell Shares
If you hold Fund Shares with a financial intermediary, please contact your financial intermediary regarding redemption policies. Normally, a Fund transmits proceeds to intermediaries for redemption orders that are received in proper form on the next business day after receipt.
Institutional Shares:
Institutional Shares typically expect to pay out redemption proceeds on the next business day after your order is received in proper form; however, it may take up to seven days to send your proceeds.
Class A and Class C Shares:
Check with your financial intermediary for its policies on redemptions. Class A and Class C shares purchased through a financial intermediary should be redeemed through the financial intermediary. The Fund typically expects to transmit proceeds to intermediaries for redemption orders received in proper form on the next business day after receipt.
Class R6 Shares:
Class R6 shares generally may be purchased or redeemed only through employer-sponsored retirement plans where a financial intermediary provides retirement recordkeeping services to plan participants. Check with your financial intermediary or plan sponsor for its policies on redemptions. Normally, the Fund transmits proceeds to intermediaries and eligible institutional investors (foundations and endowment funds) for redemption orders received in proper form on the next business day after receipt.
For federal income tax purposes, a redemption of shares of a Fund is a taxable event, upon which you may recognize a capital gain or loss (unless you hold the shares of the Fund in a tax-deferred account or are a tax-exempt investor). A capital gain or loss is based on the difference between your basis in the redeemed shares and the proceeds you receive upon their redemption. See Important Information About Taxes for information regarding basis election and reporting.
53

Information About Fees
The Victory Tax Exempt Long-Term Fund, Victory Tax Exempt Intermediate-Term Fund, and Victory Tax Exempt Short-Term Fund are comprised of multiple classes of shares. Each class shares the respective Fund's investment objective and investment portfolio. The classes have different fees, expenses, and/or minimum investment requirements. The difference in the fee structures between the classes is primarily the result of their separate arrangements for shareholder and distribution services and performance fee arrangements. It is not the result of any difference in the base investment management, custodial fee rate schedules, or other expenses related to the management of the Funds' assets, which do not vary by class. Different fees and expenses will affect performance.
Except as described below, the share classes have identical voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights, preferences, terms, and conditions. The primary differences between the classes are: (a) each class may be subject to different expenses specific to that class; (b) each class has a different identifying designation or name; (c) each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters solely affecting that class; and (d) each class may have different purchase, exchange, and redemption privileges.
Distribution and Service Plans
In accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Trust has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan for Class A shares of the Funds.
Under the Class A Distribution and Service Plan, the Fund will pay to the Distributor a monthly fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of its average daily net assets of its Class A shares. The fee is paid for general distribution services and for providing personal services to shareholders. Distribution and selling services are provided by the Distributor or by agents of the Distributor and include those services intended to result in the sale of the Fund’s shares.
Personal services to shareholders generally are provided by broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries and consist of responding to inquiries, providing information to shareholders about their Fund accounts, establishing and maintaining accounts and records, providing dividend and distribution payments, arranging for bank wires, assisting in transactions, and changing account information.
Because Rule 12b-1 fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets and on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges. For additional information about the Rule 12b-1 Plan and its terms, see Distribution and
Service Plans in the SAI.

Information About Fees
Payments to Financial Intermediaries
Certain financial intermediaries perform recordkeeping, networking, administrative, sub-transfer agency, and shareholder services for their clients with respect to their investments in a Fund that otherwise would be performed by the Fund’s transfer agent or administrator and shareholder servicing agent.
In some circumstances, we, or one of our affiliates, will pay a financial intermediary for these services out of our own resources, including any profits from the advisory fees the Adviser receives from the Funds. In other circumstances, a Fund will pay a fee to the financial intermediary for performing those services. A Fund will not pay financial intermediaries more than it would pay its direct service providers for transfer agency, administration, and/or shareholder services. In cases where intermediary fees are higher due to differences in the services being provided or other factors, the additional amounts will be paid by us and/or the Distributor. In addition, these payments generally are based on either (1) a percentage of the average daily net assets of Fund shareholders’ accounts serviced by a financial intermediary or (2) a fixed dollar amount for each account serviced by a financial intermediary. The aggregate amount of these payments may be substantial.
In addition, we and the Funds' Distributor may make payments to intermediaries for various additional services, other expenses, and/or the financial intermediaries’ distribution of shares of a Fund. Such payments are sometimes referred to as “revenue sharing” and generally are negotiated with a financial intermediary on the basis of such factors as the number or value of shares of a Fund that the financial intermediary sells or may sell; the value of client assets invested; or the type and nature of services or support furnished by the financial intermediary.
We (and our affiliates) also may pay fixed fees for the listing of a Fund on a broker-dealer’s or financial intermediary’s system. Such payments are not considered to be revenue sharing payments.
55

Distribution and Taxes
Dividends and Other Distributions
As a shareholder, you are entitled to your share of net income and capital gains on the Fund’s investments. The Fund passes its earnings along to investors in the form of dividends. Dividends paid by the Fund represent the net income from dividends and interest earned on investments after expenses. The Fund will distribute short-term gains, as necessary; and if the Fund makes a long-term capital gain distribution, it normally is paid once a year in December.
Buying a dividend. You should check the Funds' distribution schedule before you invest.
If you buy shares of a Fund shortly before it makes a distribution,
some of your investment may come back to you as a taxable distribution.
Distributions from net investment income (“dividends”) are accrued daily and distributed on the last business day of each month. Dividends begin accruing on shares on the day payment is received and continue to accrue through either the settlement date or the day after the settlement date of a redemption, depending on the type of account.
The Fund may make additional distributions to shareholders, or may not make a distribution, when considered appropriate or necessary. For example, the Fund could make one or more additional distributions to avoid the imposition of any federal income or excise taxes, or it may not make a distribution to limit returns of capital.
Any distribution made by the Fund, except the Victory Tax Exempt Money Market Fund, will reduce the NAV per share of the class by the amount of the distribution on the ex-distribution date. You should consider carefully the effects of purchasing shares of the Fund shortly before any distribution (as explained below under Important Information About Taxes). Some or all distributions may be subject to taxes.
Distributions can be received in one of the following ways:
Reinvestment Option
Each Fund automatically reinvests all income dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, on a share class in additional shares of that class unless you request to receive those distributions in cash by way of check or by way of electronic funds transfer.
Directed Bank Account Option
When you choose to receive cash dividends by way of electronic funds transfer to your bank checking or savings account, we will send them to you after the distribution date each month. The share price will be the NAV per share of the class computed on the ex-distribution date.
Cash Option
If you elect to receive your distributions by check, and the distribution amount is $25 or less, the amount will automatically be reinvested in the Fund. Otherwise, a check will be mailed to you no later than seven days after the dividend payment date. If you choose to have your distribution proceeds mailed to you and either the U.S. Postal Service is unable to deliver the distribution check to you or the check remains outstanding for at least six months, the distribution option on your account will default to the reinvestment option as described above. Each Fund reserves the right to reinvest the check in shares of the Fund at its then current NAV until you give the Fund different instructions. No interest will accrue on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks. Each Fund will invest in your account any dividend or other distribution payment returned to the Fund by your financial institution at the current NAV per share.
56

Distribution and Taxes
Income Earned Option
You can automatically reinvest your dividends in additional Fund shares and have your capital gains paid in cash, or reinvest capital gains and have your dividends paid in cash.
Directed Distributions Option
If you own shares in more than one Victory Mutual Fund, you may direct that dividends and/or capital gain distributions received from one Victory Mutual Fund be used to purchase shares automatically in the same class of another Victory Mutual Fund.
Important Information About Taxes
The tax information in this Prospectus is provided as general information. You
should review the more detailed discussion of federal income tax considerations
in the SAI and consult your tax adviser regarding the federal, state, local, or
foreign tax consequences resulting from your investment in a Fund.
Treatment of the Fund
Each Fund, which is treated as a separate corporation for federal tax purposes, has qualified for each past taxable year, and intends to continue to qualify, for treatment as a “regulated investment company” under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). By doing so, each Fund (but not its shareholders) is relieved of federal income tax on the part of its investment company taxable income and net capital gain if any, that it distributes to its shareholders.
Taxpayer Identification and Backup Withholding
Each shareholder named on an account with us must provide a Social Security number or other taxpayer identification number to avoid “backup” tax withholding required by the Code.
Federal law requires each Fund to withhold and remit to the U.S. Treasury 24% of (1) taxable dividends, capital gain distributions, and proceeds of redemptions (other than redemptions of shares of the Victory Tax Exempt Money Market Fund), regardless of the extent to which gain or loss may be realized, otherwise payable to any individual shareholder who fails to furnish a Fund with a correct taxpayer identification number and (2) those dividends and distributions otherwise payable to any individual shareholder who underreports dividend or interest income or fails to certify that he or she is not subject to backup withholding.
Backup withholding is not an additional tax, and any amounts so withheld may be credited against a shareholder’s federal income tax liability or refunded. To avoid this withholding, you must certify on your application, or on a separate IRS Form W-9 supplied by the Funds' transfer agent, that your taxpayer identification number is correct and you currently are not subject to backup withholding.
Shareholder Taxation
If a Fund satisfies the requirement that, at the close of each quarter of its taxable year, at least 50% of the value of its total assets consists of securities the interest on which is excludable from gross income under section 103(a) of the Code, it will be able to pay “exempt-interest dividends” to its shareholders. Those dividends constitute the portion of its aggregate dividends (excluding capital gain distributions) equal to the excess of its excludable interest over certain amounts disallowed as deductions. Exempt-interest dividends are excludable from a shareholder’s gross income for federal income tax purposes, although the amount of those dividends must be reported on the recipient’s federal income tax return. Accordingly, the amount of exempt-interest dividends—and, to the extent determination thereof is possible after reasonable effort, the part thereof constituting interest that is a Tax Preference Item—that a Fund pays to its shareholders will be reported to them annually on Forms 1099-DIV (or substitutes therefor). Shareholders’
57

Distribution and Taxes
treatment of dividends from a Fund under state and local income tax laws may differ from the treatment thereof under the Code. Investors should consult their tax advisers concerning this matter.
Distributions of a Fund’s net short-term gain are taxable as ordinary income, and distributions of a Fund’s net capital gain are taxable as long-term capital gains, in each case regardless of the length of time you have held your shares in the Fund. Distributions of both net short-term gain and net capital gain are taxable whether received in cash or reinvested in additional shares of the Fund.
You may realize a capital gain or loss for federal income tax purposes on a redemption or an exchange (which is treated like a redemption for those purposes) of shares of a Fund. Your gain or loss is based on the difference, if any, between your basis in the redeemed (or exchanged) shares and the redemption proceeds (or the aggregate NAV of the shares of the fund into which you exchange) you receive. Any capital gain an individual or certain other non-corporate shareholder (each, an “individual shareholder”) recognizes on a redemption or exchange of his or her shares of a Fund that have been held for more than one year will be subject to federal income tax at a maximum of 15% for a single shareholder with taxable income not exceeding $492,300 ($553,850 for married shareholders filing jointly) and 20% for individual shareholders with taxable income exceeding those respective amounts (which are effective for 2023 and will be adjusted for inflation annually, thereafter).
An individual shareholder is subject to a 3.8% federal tax on the lesser of (1) the individual’s “net investment income,” which generally includes taxable distributions a Fund pays and net gains realized on the redemption or exchange of shares of the Fund, or (2) the excess of his or her “modified adjusted gross income” over $200,000 (or $250,000 if married and filing jointly). This tax is in addition to any other taxes due on that income.
Your basis in shares of a Fund that you acquired after December 31, 2011, (“Covered Shares”) will be determined in accordance with the Funds' default method, which is average basis, unless you affirmatively elect in writing (which may be electronic) to use a different acceptable basis determination method, such as a specific identification method. The basis determination method you elect (or the default method) may not be changed with respect to a redemption of Covered Shares after the settlement date of the redemption.
You should consult with your tax adviser to determine the best IRS-accepted basis determination method.
The Fund may provide estimated capital gain distribution information through the website at VictoryFunds.com.
Tax statements will be mailed from a Fund by mid-February showing the amounts and tax status of distributions made to you in the prior calendar year.
Because your tax treatment depends on your purchase price and tax position, you should keep your regular account statements for use in determining your tax.
You should review the more detailed discussion of federal income tax considerations in the SAI and consult your tax adviser regarding the federal, state, local, or foreign tax consequences resulting from your investment in a Fund.

Important Fund Policies and Other Information
Share Price Calculation
The price at which you purchase and redeem shares of the Fund is equal to the NAV per share calculated on the effective date of the purchase or redemption. The NAV per share is calculated by adding the value of the Fund’s assets (i.e., the value of its investments and other assets), deducting liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding. Shares of the Fund may be purchased and sold at the NAV per share without a sales charge. A Fund’s NAV per share is calculated as of the close of the NYSE (generally 4 p.m. Eastern time) each day that the NYSE is open for regular trading. The NYSE is closed on most national holidays and Good Friday.
NAV=
Total Assets - Liabilities
Number of Shares Outstanding
Valuation of Securities
The Adviser, acting as the valuation designee, has established a Pricing and Liquidity Committee (the “Committee”); and subject to the Board’s oversight, the Committee administers and oversees a Fund's valuation policies and procedures, which are approved by the Board. Among other things, these policies and procedures allow a Fund to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities dealers, and a wide variety of sources and information to establish and adjust the fair value of securities as events occur and circumstances warrant.
With respect to the Victory Tax Exempt Long-Term Fund, Victory Tax Exempt Intermediate-Term Fund, and Victory Tax Exempt Short-Term Fund, debt securities are valued each business day by a pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the Adviser as Valuation Designee. The Service uses evaluated bid or the last sales price to price securities when, in the Service’s judgment, these prices are readily available and are representative of the securities’ market values. For many securities, such prices are not readily available. The Service generally prices these securities based on methods that include consideration of yields or prices of securities the interest on which is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes (“tax-exempt securities”) of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, and type; indications as to values from dealers in securities; and general market conditions.
In addition, securities purchased with original or remaining maturities of 60 days or less and all securities of the Victory Tax Exempt Money Market Fund generally may be valued at amortized cost, provided that amortized cost represents the fair value of such securities.
Repurchase agreements are valued at cost.
Investments in open-end investment companies, commingled, or other funds, other than ETFs, are valued at their NAV at the end of each business day.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price at the close of market on the principal exchange on which they are traded or, in the absence of any transactions that day, the values are based upon the settlement price on the prior trading date.
Options contracts are valued at the mean of the last bid and ask prices. Options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the applicable exchange.
In the event that price quotations or valuations are not readily available, are not reflective of market value, or a significant event has been recognized in relation to a security or class of securities, the securities are valued in good faith, at fair value, by the Committee in accordance with valuation procedures approved by the Adviser as Valuation Designee. The effect of fair value pricing is that
59

Important Fund Policies and Other Information
securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, and the actual price realized from the sale of a security may differ materially from the fair value price. Valuing these securities at fair value is intended to cause the Fund’s NAV to be more reliable than it otherwise would be.
Fair value methods used by the Funds include, but are not limited to, obtaining market quotations from secondary pricing services, broker-dealers, other pricing services, or widely used quotation systems. General factors considered in determining the fair value of securities include fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of any restrictions on disposition of the securities, evaluation of credit quality, and an evaluation of the forces that influenced the market in which the securities are purchased and sold.
For additional information on how securities are valued, see Valuation of Securities in the Funds' SAI.
Customer Identification Program
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens a new account, and to determine whether such person’s name appears on government lists of known or suspected terrorists and terrorist organizations.
As a result, the Funds must obtain the following information for each person who opens a new account:
Name;
Date of birth (for individuals);
Residential or business street address (although post office boxes are still permitted for mailing); and
Social security number, taxpayer identification number, or other identifying number.
You may also be asked for a copy of your driver’s license, passport, or other identifying document in order to verify your identity. In addition, it may be necessary to verify your identity by cross-referencing your identification information with a consumer report or other electronic database. Additional information may be required to open accounts for corporations and other entities. Federal law prohibits the Funds and other financial institutions from opening a new account unless they receive the minimum identifying information listed above. After an account is opened, the Funds may restrict your ability to purchase additional shares until your identity is verified. The Funds may close your account or take other appropriate action if it is unable to verify your identity within a reasonable time. If your account is closed for this reason, your shares will be redeemed at the NAV next calculated after the account is closed.
Statements and Reports
You will receive a periodic statement reflecting any transactions that affect the balance or registration of Fund shares in your account. You will receive a confirmation after any purchase, exchange, or redemption. If your account has been set up by an Investment Professional, Fund activity will be detailed in that account’s statements. Share certificates are not issued. Twice a year, you will receive a financial report of the Fund. By February 15th of each year, you will be mailed an IRS form reporting distributions for the previous year, which also will be filed with the IRS.
Each Fund will report information to you annually concerning the tax status of your dividends and other distributions for federal income tax purposes, including the portion of the dividends, if any, constituting a Tax Preference Item and the percentage and source (by state) of interest income earned during the preceding year on tax-exempt securities held by that Fund. In addition, each Fund (or its administrative agent) must report to the IRS and furnish to its shareholders the basis
60

Important Fund Policies and Other Information
information for Covered Shares and indicate whether they had a short-term (one year or less) or long-term (more than one year) holding period. You should consult with your tax adviser to obtain more information about how the basis reporting law applies to you.
Shareholder Communications
In order to eliminate duplicate mailings to an address at which two or more shareholders with the same last name reside, each household will receive a single copy of the Fund’s most recent shareholder reports, proxy statements, prospectuses, and their supplements, unless you have instructed us to the contrary. This eliminates duplicate copies and saves paper and postage costs for the Fund. However, if you would like to receive individual copies, please contact us; and they will be delivered promptly.
Portfolio Holdings Disclosure
A description of the Funds' policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of the Funds' portfolio securities is available in the Funds' SAI, which is available upon request and on the Fund’s website at VictoryFunds.com.
Information relating to the portfolio holdings of the Victory Tax Exempt Money Market Fund will be posted to VictoryFunds.com five business days after the end of each month and will remain posted on the website for six months thereafter. In addition, the Victory Tax Exempt Money Market Fund will report its dollar-weighted average maturity, weighted average life, and certain other information to the SEC monthly on Form N-MFP, which also will be made public.
IRA Distribution Fee
Each Fund may apply a distribution fee to all full IRA distributions, except for those due to death, disability, or divorce. Partial IRA distributions are not charged a distribution fee.
Account Balance
Victory Capital Transfer Agency, Inc., the Funds' transfer agent, may assess annually a small balance account fee of $12 to each shareholder account with a balance of less than $2,000 at the time of assessment. Accounts exempt from the fee include: (1) any account regularly purchasing additional shares each month through an automatic investment plan; (2) any UGMA/UTMA account; (3) all (non-IRA) money market fund accounts; (4) any account whose registered owner has an aggregate balance of $50,000 or more invested in Affiliated Funds. The fee is not currently being assessed. The Fund will provide advance notice in the event it is assessed in the future.
Excessive Short-Term Trading
The Funds generally are not intended as short-term investment vehicles (except for the money market funds, Victory Short-Term Bond Fund, Victory Ultra Short-Term Bond Fund, and Victory Tax Exempt Short-Term Fund). Some investors try to profit by using excessive short-term trading practices involving mutual fund shares, frequently referred to as “market timing.”
Excessive short-term trading activity can disrupt the efficient management of a fund and raise its transaction costs by forcing portfolio managers to first buy and then sell portfolio securities in response to a large investment or redemption by short-term traders. While there is no assurance that the Funds can deter all excessive and short-term trading, the Board has adopted the following policies (except for the money market funds, Victory Short-Term Bond Fund, Victory Ultra Short-Term Bond Fund, and Victory Tax Exempt Short-Term Fund). These policies are designed to deter disruptive, excessive short-term trading without needlessly penalizing bona fide investors.
To deter such trading activities, the Funds’ policies and procedures state that:
61

Important Fund Policies and Other Information
Each Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase order, including an exchange, that it regards as disruptive to the efficient management of the particular fund.
Each Fund may use a fair value pricing service or other model to assist in establishing the current value of foreign securities held by the Fund. Fair value pricing is used to adjust for “stale pricing” that may occur between the close of certain foreign exchanges or markets and the time when the Fund calculates its NAV per share. The use of fair value pricing is intended to deter investors who may be trying to take advantage of time-zone differences in the valuation of foreign securities and to prevent dilution to long-term investors. Fair value pricing of a foreign security can result in a Fund using a price that is higher or lower than the closing price of a foreign security for purposes of calculating a Fund’s NAV.
The Funds’ Right to Reject Purchase and Exchange Orders and Limit Trading in Accounts
The Funds’ main safeguard against excessive short-term trading is their right to reject purchase or exchange orders if in the best interest of the affected fund. In exercising this discretion to reject purchase and exchange orders, the Funds deem that certain excessive short-term trading activities are not in the best interest of the fund because such activities can hamper the efficient management of the fund. Generally, persons with a history of three short-term transactions within 90 days or less are suspected of market timing and the shareholder’s trading privileges (other than redemption of Fund shares) will be suspended. The Funds also reserve the right to restrict future purchases or exchanges if an investor is classified as engaged in other patterns of excessive short-term trading, including after one large disruptive purchase and redemption or exchange. Finally, each Fund reserves the right to reject any other purchase or exchange order in other situations that do not involve excessive short-term trading activities if in the best interest of the Fund. For this purpose, a short-term transaction is a purchase or redemption of a Fund and, as applicable, a subsequent redemption or purchase of the same Fund, or an exchange of all or part of that same Fund.
The following transactions are exempt from the excessive short-term trading activity policies described above:
Transactions in the money market funds, Victory Short-Term Bond Fund, Victory Ultra Short-Term Bond Fund, and Victory Tax Exempt Short-Term Fund;
Purchases and sales pursuant to automatic investment or withdrawal plans;
Purchases and sales made through USAA 529 Education Savings Plan;
Purchases and sales made in certain separately managed accounts in wrap fee programs;
Purchases and sales by the Victory Target Retirement Funds, Victory Cornerstone Conservative Fund, and/or Victory Cornerstone Equity Fund; and
Other transactions that are not motivated by short-term trading considerations if they are approved by transfer agent management personnel and are not disruptive to a fund.
If a person is classified as having engaged in excessive short-term trading, the remedy will depend upon the trading activities of the investor in the account and related accounts and its disruptive effect, and can include warnings to cease such activity and/or restrictions or termination of trading privileges in a particular Fund or all of the Funds.
The Funds rely on the transfer agent to review trading activity for excessive short-term trading. There can be no assurance, however, that its monitoring activities will successfully detect or prevent all excessive short-term trading. The Funds or the transfer agent may exclude transactions below a certain dollar amount from monitoring and may change that dollar amount from time to time.
62

Important Fund Policies and Other Information
The Funds seek to apply these policies and procedures uniformly to all investors; however, some investors purchase shares of a Fund through financial intermediaries that establish omnibus accounts to invest in the Funds for their clients and submit net orders to purchase or redeem shares after combining their client orders. The Funds subject to the short-term trading policies generally treat these omnibus accounts as an individual investor and will apply the short-term trading policies to the net purchases and sales submitted by the omnibus account unless the Funds or their transfer agent have entered into an agreement requiring the omnibus account to submit the underlying trading information for their clients upon our request and/or monitor for excessive trading. For those omnibus accounts for which we have entered into agreements to monitor excessive trading or provide underlying trade information, the financial intermediary or Funds will review net activity in these omnibus accounts for activity that indicates potential, excessive short-term trading activity. If we detect suspicious trading activity at the omnibus account level, we will request underlying trading information and review the underlying trading activity to identify individual accounts engaged in excessive short-term trading activity. We will instruct the omnibus account to restrict, limit, or terminate trading privileges in a particular fund for individual accounts identified as engaging in excessive short-term trading through these omnibus accounts.
We also may rely on the financial intermediary to review for and identify underlying trading activity for individual accounts engaged in excessive short-term trading activity, and to restrict, limit, or terminate trading privileges if the financial intermediary’s policies are determined by us to be at least as stringent as the Funds’ policy. For shares purchased through financial intermediaries there may be additional or more restrictive policies. You may wish to contact your financial intermediary to determine the policies applicable to your account.
Because of the increased costs to review underlying trading information, the Funds will not enter into agreements with every financial intermediary that operates an omnibus account. The Funds or their transfer agent could decide to enter into such contracts with financial intermediaries for all funds or particular funds and can terminate such agreements at any time.
Other Fund Rights
The Fund reserves the right to:
Reject or restrict purchase or exchange orders when in the best interest of the Fund;
Limit or discontinue the offering of shares of the Fund without notice to the shareholders;
Calculate the NAV per share and accept purchase, exchange, and redemption orders on a business day that the NYSE is closed;
Redeem some or all of its shares in kind when in the best interest of the Fund;
Require a signature guarantee for transactions or changes in account information in those instances where the appropriateness of a signature authorization is in question (the SAI contains information on acceptable guarantors);
Redeem an account with less than $500, with certain limitations;
Restrict or liquidate an account when necessary or appropriate to comply with federal law;
The Victory Tax Exempt Money Market Fund reserves the right to suspend redemptions as provided under SEC rules applicable to money market funds; and
Discontinue or otherwise limit the opening of accounts with us.

Additional Information
The Trust enters into contractual arrangements with various parties, including, among others, the Funds' adviser, transfer agent, and distributor, who provide services to the Funds. Shareholders are not parties to, or intended (or “third-party”) beneficiaries of, any of those contractual arrangements, and those contractual arrangements are not intended to create in any individual shareholder or group of shareholders any right to enforce them against the service providers or to seek any remedy under them against the service providers, either directly or on behalf of the Trust or the Fund.
This prospectus provides information concerning the Trust and the Funds that you should consider in determining whether to purchase shares of the Fund. Neither this prospectus nor the related SAI is intended to be, or should be read to give rise to, an agreement or contract between the Trust or the Fund and any investor, or to give rise to any rights in any shareholder or other person other than any rights under federal or state law that may not be waived.

Financial Highlights
The following financial highlights tables are intended to help you understand the Funds' and relevant share classes' financial performance for the past five years or, if shorter, the period of operations. Certain information reflects financial results for a single share. The total returns in the tables represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in the Fund or share class (assuming reinvestment of all income dividends and capital gain distributions). Information shown for the Class A shares for the periods ended on or before March 31, 2020, reflect that of the Fund’s Adviser Shares, which were redesignated Class A shares on June 29, 2020.
The information has been derived from financial statements audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, whose report, along with the Funds' financial statements, are included in each Fund’s annual report to shareholders, which is available upon request.

In all instances, it is the shareholder's responsibility to inform Edward Jones at the time of purchase of any relationship, holdings of the Victory Funds, or other facts qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers.

Appendix A — Variations in Sales Charge Reductions and Waivers Available Through Certain Intermediaries
Breakpoints available at Edward Jones
Breakpoint pricing, otherwise known as volume pricing, at dollar thresholds as described in the prospectus.
Rights of Accumulation (“ROA”)
The applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares is determined by taking into account all share classes (except certain money market funds and any assets held in group retirement plans) of the mutual fund family held by the shareholder or in an account grouped by Edward Jones with other accounts for the purpose of providing certain pricing considerations (“pricing groups”). If grouping assets as a shareholder, this includes all share classes held on the Edward Jones platform and/or held on another platform. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation. Money market funds are included only if such shares were sold with a sales charge at the time of purchase or acquired in exchange for shares purchased with a sales charge.
The employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan may elect to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping as opposed to including all share classes at a shareholder or pricing group level.
ROA is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or market value (current shares x NAV).
Letter of Intent (“LOI”)
Through a LOI, shareholders can receive the sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not adjusted under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges will be adjusted if LOI is not met.
If the employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan has elected to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the employer.
