Letter
to
Shareholders
(Unaudited)
Dear
Shareholder,
Our
annual
reporting
period
for
the
12
months
ended
June
30,
2023,
has
been
a
tale
of
two
markets.
The
dichotomy
has
been
nothing
short
of
remarkable.
Think
back
to
the
latter
half
of
2022.
This
was
a
very
difficult
time
for
investors,
marked
by
an
array
of
challenges
that
punished
both
bond
and
stock
markets.
The
U.S.
Federal
Reserve
(the
“Fed”)
was
in
the
midst
of
a
series
of
rate
hikes—more
aggressive
than
many
investors
had
ever
experienced.
Inflation
was
raging
and
conjuring
up
memories
of
the
1970s.
And
if
that
wasn’t
enough,
a
terrible
war
was
taking
place
in
Eastern
Europe,
while
tensions
between
the
world’s
two
largest
economic
powers,
the
United
States
and
China,
were
also
on
the
rise.
It
was
not
exactly
a
constructive
environment
for
investors,
and
all
of these
issues
created
headwinds
for
both
stocks
and
bonds.
It’s
not
often
that
stocks
and
bonds
decline
in
tandem,
and
the
traditional
diversified
portfolio
of
60%
equities/40%
fixed
income
was
suffering
through
one
of
its
worst
periods
on
record.
But
when
the
calendar
year
flipped,
so
did
the
markets.
During
the
first
six
months
of
2023,
financial
markets
exhibited
greater
stability
and
less
volatility.
Equities
(including
domestic,
international
and
emerging
markets)
regained
their
footing
and
rebounded.
In
the
United
States,
some
of
the
most
beaten-down
growth
sectors
that
were
punished
during
the
period
of
sharply
rising
interest
rates
led
the
market
higher.
The
market’s
resiliency
and
strong
rebound
during
the
first
two
quarters
of
2023
surprised
many
pundits.
After
all,
there
were
ample
challenges
that
could
have
undermined
this
rally,
including
unusual
turmoil
within
the
banking
sector
in
March
2023
that
resulted
in
the
collapse
of
a
few
regional
banks.
Naturally,
this
ratcheted
up
volatility
for
a
spell,
but
the
Fed
took
the
necessary
steps
to
restore
confidence
in
the
banking
sector
and
avoided
a
wider
contagion.
It
also
helped
that
the
Fed
paused
its
rate
hikes
as
inflation
data
finally
cooled.
Through
all
the
ups
and
downs
in
these
two
very
different
environments,
the
S&P
500
®
Index,
the
most
widely
followed
index
representing the
domestic
stock
market,
managed
to
deliver
an
impressive
total
return
of
more
than
19%
for
our
annual
reporting
period
ended
June
30,
2023.
The
Bloomberg
U.S.
Aggregate
Bond
Index—a
proxy
for
a
diversified
fixed
income
portfolio
and
one
that
many
investors
and
institutions
follow
closely—was
basically
unchanged
during
the
same
period
at
0.94%
(despite
the
volatility).
We
don’t
deny
that
this
past
annual
reporting
period
was
difficult.
We
realize
that
the
bouts
of
stomach-churning
volatility
can
take
a
toll
on
investors’
psyche.
But
even
when
markets
snap
back
sharply
as
they
have,
investors
often
wonder
if
they
have
missed
an
opportunity.
This
reminds
us
of
two
enduring
realities:
1)
financial
markets
are
dynamic
and
apt
to
change
abruptly;
2)
it’s
vital
to
remain
calm
and
rational
whenever
faced
with
those
inevitable
times
of
turmoil.
Fortunately,
we
think
that
investors
can
take
comfort
knowing
that
all
our
Victory
Capital
independent
investment
franchises
have
experience
managing
portfolios
through
a
variety
of
market
environments.
Our
investment
professionals
remain
calm
during
turbulent
financial
markets,
and
we
think
it’s
imperative
that
investors
do
the
same.
Of
course,
there
are
still
uncertainties
ahead.
For
example, is
the
Fed
finished
with
its
rate
hikes?
Will
the
impact
of
tighter
lending
standards
ultimately
result
in
slower
growth
and
lower
corporate
profits?
Is
there
another
banking
crisis
lurking?
Nobody
really
knows
what
the
future
will
bring.
That’s
why
we
continue
to
advocate
for
a
long-term
plan,
a
well-diversified
portfolio
across
asset
classes
and
investment
types,
and
a
clear
understanding
of
individual
risk
tolerances.
These,
in
our
opinion,
are
the
key
ingredients
for
staying
the
course
and
progressing
on
investment
goals.
On
the
following
pages
you
will
find
information
relating
to
your
Victory
Funds
investment.
If
you
have
any
questions,
we
encourage
you
to
contact
your
financial
advisor. In
addition,
you
may
call
866-376-7890 or

From
all
of
us
here
at
Victory
Capital,
thank
you
for
letting
us
help
you
work
toward
your
investment
goals.

The

12.62%

which

is

which

during
the
period.
Over
the
reporting
period,
the
Fund’s
performance
relative
to
the
S&P

was
driven
by
its
underweight

versus
0.69%
of
the
return
for
the

The
Fund’s
underweight
allocation
to
the
Technology
sector
was
a
detractor
during
the
reporting
period
in
addition
to
negative
stock
selection
across

(the

seeks
to
provide
investment
results
that
track
the
performance
of
the
Nasdaq
Victory
International
500
Volatility
Weighted
Index
(the
“Index”)
before
fees
and
expenses.
The
Fund
returned
12.96%
for
the
fiscal
year
ended
June
30,
2023,
underperforming
the
Index,
which
returned
13.40%
during
the
period.
The
Fund
underperformed
the
MSCI
EAFE
Index,
a
market
cap-based
index
against
which
the
performance
of
the
Fund
is
also
measured,
which
returned
18.77%
during
the
period.
The
Fund’s
overweight
allocation
to
Canada
was
a
negative
contributor
to
relative
performance.
An
overweight
to
the
United
Kingdom
was
a
positive
contributor.
Stock
selection
detracted
from
returns
in
the
Netherlands
and
France.
The
Fund’s
small
allocation
to
derivatives
during
the
year
did
not
have
a
material
impact
on
performance.
