Victory Funds Letter
to Shareholders
(Unaudited)
Dear Shareholder,
Looking back over our most recent annual reporting period offers us a stark reminder that markets go up and down, and that investor sentiment can shift quickly.
Although most of 2021 was constructive for financial markets, the script flipped as we entered the new calendar year. More recently, investors have been focused on a host of worries. Inflation data has been running hotter than expected. The U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") has embarked on a new rate-hike cycle and a terrible war is raging in Eastern Europe. All these issues, among other factors, have ratcheted up market volatility in both stock and bond markets. Many broad-market stock indices have pulled back substantially during the first half of 2022 and even entered "bear market" territory, which is typically considered a 20% pullback from the most recent highs. Meanwhile, fixed income investors are also dealing with elevated volatility, and wide swaths of the bond market have struggled in the face of rising interest rates.
Throughout the ups and downs of the past annual reporting period, there have been interesting differences playing out within the broader market. In general, large-cap stocks outperformed smaller-capitalization companies for the full annual reporting period. Meanwhile, growth-oriented styles led value-oriented investments during the earlier part of our annual reporting period, while the reverse was true during the latter segment of the reporting period (as measured by the Russell family of indices). Perhaps this reflects investors' realization and expectations for future higher interest rates and corresponding higher borrowing costs.
There were other notable subplots, too. During much of 2021 we watched crypto assets captivate investors, only to see them fall out of favor as sentiment soured. This year we've seen oil prices surge, which helped fuel gains across the energy landscape while many other sectors lagged. The Energy and Utilities sectors (and yes, Cash) have been the lone bright spots for many investor portfolios. If anything, this underscores the importance of diversification.
Looking at the numbers, we see that the S&P 500? Index, the bell-weather proxy for our domestic stock market, declined by 10.62% for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2022. Over this same annual period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 1.53%, thanks largely to the Fed's shift toward a less accommodative monetary policy and the first rate hike in three years. At the end of our reporting period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury finished at 2.98%.
Given the market environment of the past few months, it's no surprise that investors have become more focused on risk management and downside protection. Remember, our experience managing portfolios through various economic cycles has taught us to remain calm in the face of market turmoil. It is our view that a long-term perspective, a well-diversified portfolio across asset classes and investment types, and a clear understanding of individual risk tolerances are some of the key ingredients for staying the course and progressing on investment goals.
3
As ever, there will be challenges ahead. The Fed has declared its intent to continue raising rates until the recent elevated inflation readings decline. Labor shortages, ongoing supply chain issues, high energy prices, and the Russia-Ukraine war are among the performance detractors investors continue to navigate. There's even some chatter about a possible recession.
Although we cannot tell you with any certainty what markets will do in the future, we can assure you that the investment professionals at all our independent franchises continually monitor the environment and work hard to position portfolios opportunistically no matter what the markets bring.
On the following pages you will find information relating to your Victory Funds investment. If you have any questions regarding the current market dynamics or your specific portfolio or investment plan, we encourage you to contact your financial advisor. If you invest with us directly, you may call 800-539-3863 or visit our website at www.vcm.com.
From all of us here at Victory Capital, thank you for letting us help you work toward your investment goals.

Commentary
(Unaudited)
What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
The financial markets produced broadly flat returns in the third quarter of 2021. Conditions were initially supportive in July and August thanks to positive economic data and continued strength in corporate earnings. The picture changed in September, however, as investors began to focus on risk factors such as supply chain disruptions and rising inflation. In addition, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") indicated it may begin tapering its stimulative quantitative easing policy ? a development investors took as an indication that the first interest rate increases may be on the way in 2022.
Despite impediments to sentiment, U.S. equities posted solid gains in the fourth quarter of 2021, as reflected in the 11.03% return for the bellwether S&P 500? Index. The markets faced a shift in Fed policy, as persistent inflation driven by supply chain issues and rising commodity prices led the Fed to announce and subsequently accelerate the tapering of its bond purchases that have helped keep longer-term borrowing costs low. Nonetheless, most major U.S. equity indices closed 2021 at or near all-time highs, supported by robust corporate profits and investor inflows given fixed income yields that remained unattractive.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine in February of 2022 added significant volatility to both equity and bond markets that were already concerned with elevated levels of inflation, a hawkish Fed and rising interest rates. In the first quarter of 2022, the combination of widening credit spreads and rising interest rates led to the worst quarter for the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index (a broad-based benchmark that measures the investment-grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market) in 40 years. Equity markets did not fare any better as the S&P 500? Index also posted a negative return during the quarter.
The second quarter of 2022 saw continued pressure on stocks and bonds. With inflation readings hitting four-decade highs, the Fed now faced an increasingly difficult task of implementing policy strong enough to tame inflation and provide a "soft landing" for the economy, while not being too aggressive and tilting the economy into recession. This risk contributed to the heightened stock market volatility, in addition to mounting COVID-19-related lockdowns in China, rising oil prices, and the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The Fed raised the fed funds rate by 50 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point) in May, and 75 basis points in June.
How did VictoryShares USAA MSCI USA Value Momentum ETF (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?
The Fund returned -6.94%, underperforming its benchmark, the MSCI USA Select Value Momentum Blend Index (the "Index"), which returned -6.75% for the period. The difference in performance of the Fund and the Index was primarily due to the Fund's fees and expenses. The Index is not an investable product; therefore, fees and expenses do not apply.
In tracking the Index and its rules-based methodology, the Fund, which provides exposure to U.S. large- and mid-cap stocks with value and momentum characteristics, had a negative return over the evaluation period. The Energy, Materials, Utilities, Consumer Staples, and Health Care sectors contributed, while the Real Estate, Industrials, Financials, Information Technology, consumer discretionary, and Communication Services sectors detracted.
