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.

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.

Christopher K. Dyer, CFA

President,

VictoryShares US 500 Volatility Wtd ETF

Managers' Commentary
(Unaudited)

VictoryShares US 500 Volatility Wtd ETF (the "Fund") seeks to provide investment results that track the performance of the Nasdaq Victory US Large Cap 500 Volatility Weighted Index (the "Index") before fees and expenses.

The Fund returned -8.63% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, compared to the Index's return of -8.32%. The Fund outperformed the S&P 500? Index, a market cap-based index against which the performance of the Fund is also measured, which returned -10.62% for the period.

Over the reporting period, the Fund's performance relative to the S&P 500? Index was driven by its underweight positions in the largest market-cap stocks within the index. The top 10 stocks in the S&P 500? Index combined to make up over 28% of the Index, while the Fund only held 2% in these same names. This underweight added 0.54% of relative performance. The Fund's positive stock selection in the rest of the market also added value during the reporting period. The Fund's underweight to the Energy sector was a detractor from relative performance.

Total return measures the price change in a share assuming the reinvestment of all net investment income and realized capital gain distributions, if any. The total returns quoted do not reflect adjustments made to the enclosed financial statements in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles or the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on net investment income and realized capital gain distributions, including reinvested distributions, or redemptions of shares. The total return figures set forth above include all waivers of fees. Without such fee waivers, the total returns would have been lower.

VictoryShares US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF

Managers' Commentary
(Unaudited)

VictoryShares US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF (the "Fund") seeks to provide investment results that track the performance of the Nasdaq Victory US Large Cap 500 Long/Cash Volatility Weighted Index (the "Index") before fees and expenses.

The Fund returned -8.67% over the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, compared to the Index's return of -8.32%. The Fund outperformed the S&P 500? Index, a market cap-based index against which the performance of the Fund is also measured, which returned -10.62% for the period.

In tracking the Index and its rules-based methodology, the Fund reallocates from equities to U.S. Treasury bills ("T-Bills") during periods of significant market decline ("Long/Cash feature"). The Long/Cash feature of the Index triggered during the reporting period and the Fund was 75% allocated to T-Bills and 25% to equities during May of 2022. The Fund then reallocated to 100% equities in June of 2022. The Long/Cash feature had a relatively small impact on the Fund's relative performance versus the S&P 500? Index for the fiscal year.

Over the reporting period, the Fund's performance relative to the S&P 500? Index was driven by its underweight positions in the largest market-cap names within the index. The top 10 stocks in the S&P 500? Index combined to make up over 28% of the Index, while the Fund only held 2% in these same names. This underweight added 0.54% of relative performance. The Fund's positive stock selection in the rest of the market also added value during the reporting period. The Fund's cash allocation and underweight to the Energy sector were detractors during the reporting period.

Managers' Commentary
(Unaudited)

What were the market conditions during the reporting period?

As the world attempted to return to normal, coming out of the historical COVID-19 government-imposed lockdowns, the consequences of those lockdowns began to manifest themselves. In particular, global supply chains that functioned smoothly pre-COVID-19 were disrupted in ways that have yet to work themselves out. Generally speaking, the result was demand that rebounded faster than supply could keep up. To make matters worse, apart from the human tragedy itself, Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 added to the supply chain issues, with impacts on the price of oil, natural gas, wheat, and fertilizer, to name but a few. While the general price level fell during COVID-19, when demand fell faster than supply, the reverse is now true. As measured by the Consumer Price Index, the price level skyrocketed to 7% in 2021. During 2022, prices have risen even further, to 8.6% as of the end of May 2022.

These events have taken their toll on the financial markets, with the S&P 500? Index down 10.6% year over year, and 20% year to date; officially "bear market" territory. The bond market did not escape the pain, either. Indeed, the past year has been one of the worst for fixed income markets over the last 50 years, if not all of history. The one-year total return for the period ending June 30, 2022, for the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index (the "Index") was worse than even during the U.S. dollar devaluation period in the late 1970s/early 1980s, down 10.3% year over year and down 10.4% year to date, performance almost as poor as the stock market.

These results were driven primarily by the significant rise in interest rates, as the bond market reacted to the dramatic increases in the price level. While the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") initially believed these price increases to be transitory, the bond market forced them to quickly abandon that thought. What was originally expected to be a gradual increase of 25 basis points ("bps") (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point) in the Fed Funds rate morphed into rate hikes that haven't been seen since 1994. The Fed started hiking rates by 25 bps in March, then was forced to higher hikes of 50 bps in May and a whopping 75-bps hike in June.

In addition to the jump in U.S. Treasury rates, bond spreads have widened out as well. Year over year, the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate Index option-adjusted spread rose from 0.80% to 1.55%, an increase of 75 bps. This took its toll on the fixed income market, leaving the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate Index with a one-year negative total return of -14.2%.

Some economists are starting to predict a recession. The recent rise in interest rates is already beginning to dampen demand, particularly for housing, as well as automobiles. Higher gasoline and food prices are also taking their toll, forcing consumers to curtail other purchases. Although the employment situation looks decent with the unemployment rate at 3.6%, that's typically a lagging indicator, and the COVID-19 lockdowns caused havoc in the labor markets, as many businesses still cannot fill all the positions they need. Real Gross Domestic Product decreased -1.6% in the first quarter of 2022, and a decrease in the second quarter would fit the textbook definition of recession, although the consensus estimate is for growth in the second quarter. Recession or no recession, economic activity is likely to slow in the near term as the economy readjusts from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Managers' Commentary (continued)

How did the VictoryShares ESG Core Plus Bond ETF (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?

The Fund commenced operations on October 5, 2021. Since inception, the Fund returned -11.20%, underperforming the Index, which returned -10.29% for the period.

What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?

From the Fund's inception, bond spreads gradually began to widen into the end of 2021 and such widening precipitately increased following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the subsequent increase in worldwide energy costs and persistent global inflation. Relative to the Index, the Fund was helped by its allocation to structured products, floating-rate bank loans, floating-rate commercial mortgage-backed securities and our issue selection of taxable municipals, as well as security selection amongst other spread-based, asset-backed securities. The Fund benefitted from allocations to auto loan asset-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), single asset, single borrower commercial mortgage-backed securities, Consumer Products, Airlines, and Consumer Non-Cyclical companies. Bond selection, especially within the Airlines, Cable and Satellite, Insurance, and Consumer Cyclical services also added to relative returns. An underweight position in U.S. Treasury securities, which generated less negative returns than the Index (as all spread product widened), hindered relative performance. Finally, our income orientation contributed positively to results. Over time, the income generated by the Fund accounts for the majority of its long-term return.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in securities of issuers that, at the time of purchase, rank in the highest three categories of the Adviser's proprietary environmental, social and governance ("ESG") composite score (described further in the Fund's prospectus), or are issued by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities, which are generally deemed to be rated in one of the highest three categories.

In assessing potential investments, we assess the following ESG factors:

?  Environmental ? Evaluated factors might include greenhouse gas emissions or water withdrawal figures (particularly in regions of scarcity), or an evaluation of the probability of meeting greenhouse gas emissions targets in the years ahead or the quality of the issuer's water usage policy.

?  Social ? Evaluated factors might include examining elements such as the issuer's safety record and the diversity of its management, as well as any stated targets towards improving these.

?  Governance ? Evaluated factors might include examining, for example, the inclusiveness of the issuer's leadership and its corporate behavior and ethics.

During the reporting period the Fund continued to purchase securities that adhered to the above standards. Application of the Fund's ESG strategy along with other factors, including duration positioning and sector allocation, detracted from the Fund's investment returns relative to the Index during the period ending June 30, 2022. In particular, our security selection within the Banking, Technology, and Retail sectors contributed most to underperformance.

In keeping with our investment process, we continued to build the Fund bond by bond. We seek ideas where our fundamental understanding of the credit risk is different than that of

the market, working with our team of analysts to evaluate each potential investment individually. During the reporting period, we found select attractive opportunities as we continued to seek relative values across the fixed income market. We took advantage of periods of volatility to add or reduce select investments in corporate credit, commercial mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and taxable municipals. As spreads widened over the course of the period, we gradually increased exposure to spread products by decreasing our holdings in U.S. Treasury securities.

Our analysts continued to analyze and monitor every holding in the Fund. We are committed to building a portfolio diversified among multiple asset classes and across a large number of issuers. To minimize the Fund's exposure to potential surprises, we limit the positions we take in any one issuer.

The Fund commenced operations on October 5, 2021. Since inception, the Fund returned -15.37%, underperforming the Index, which returned -14.48% for the period,

What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?

From the Fund's inception, bond spreads gradually began to widen into the end of 2021 and such widening precipitately increased following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the subsequent increase in worldwide energy costs and persistent global inflation. Higher inflation also led to a more restrictive monetary policy by the Fed and greater uncertainty regarding economic growth. Global financial markets performed poorly as the macroeconomic and geopolitical environment deteriorated. The Fund has a higher allocation to BBB-rated corporate credit, which is the lowest rating category within investment grade, relative to the Index, was a primary driver of underperformance.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in securities of issuers that, at the time of purchase, rank in the highest three categories of the Adviser's proprietary environmental, social and governance ("ESG") composite score (described further in the Fund's prospectus), or are issued by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities, which are generally deemed to be rated in one of the highest three categories.

VictoryShares THB Mid Cap ESG ETF

Managers' Commentary
(Unaudited)

What were the market conditions during the reporting period?

U.S. equities were broadly lower during the period as a series of events kept investors concerns elevated. The COVID-19 Omicron variant outbreak in November ? December period last year was followed by geopolitical tensions culminating with Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February. The war in Ukraine and new China lockdowns in the spring served to amplify preexisting inflationary drivers such as energy prices and supply chain disruptions. In response, the U.S. Federal Reserve raised interest rates and struck a more hawkish tone, intending to bring inflation under control. The direction of interest rates and of inflation have been widely discussed and appear to have impacted a large swath of assets. Accurately predicting the future levels of interest rates is notoriously difficult, but certain of these anomalies appear to be reversing and may indicate that the extended period of ultra-low interest rates is ending.

How did VictoryShares THB Mid Cap ESG ETF (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?

The Fund commenced operations on October 5, 2021. Since inception, the Fund returned -13.23%, outperforming the Russell Midcap? Index (the "Index"), which returned -17.33% for the period.

What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?

The Fund utilizes a bottom-up, fundamental approach to find mispriced securities within the investment universe. The Fund selects investments based on an active fundamental process that combines financial analysis and proprietary research to evaluate potential investments' management and long-term outlook and business strategy. Using this process, the Fund generated the highest contribution to the return from the Materials, Consumer Discretionary, and Consumer Staples sectors over the period, while the Industrials, Information Technology, and Health Care sectors were the primary detractors. The Fund's top five-performing stocks (from a contribution standpoint) were Synopsys Inc. (Information Technology), Carlisle Cos., Inc. (Industrials), IHS Markit, Ltd. (Industrials), Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (Information Technology), and CACI International, Inc. (Industrials). The bottom five-performing stocks (from a contribution standpoint) were GXO Logistics, Inc. (Industrials), Zebra Technologies, Inc. (Information Technology), Dentsply Sirona, Inc. (Health Care), Darling Ingredients, Inc. (Consumer Staples), and Tyler Technologies, Inc. (Information Technology).

We apply our internally developed Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") rating methodology to each company when making portfolio decisions. Our portfolio management team gathers relevant ESG data using multiple primary and secondary sources such as company filings, discussions with management, news, and a number of third-party data providers. ESG data may include metrics regarding a company's carbon emissions, water utilization, employee diversity, and director independence, among other things. The Fund does not exclusively rely on any third-party ESG ratings or scores during the portfolio construction process to make investment decisions and its own proprietary ratings could differ from those of a third party. In addition, we use a bottom-up, fundamental research investment process integrated with analysis of a company's ESG factors to identify high-quality companies we believe have the ability to sustainably grow shareholder equity and

that are trading below the Adviser's assessment of their intrinsic value. We believe there is a strong linkage between high-quality companies, good corporate citizenship, and long-term shareholder value creation.

The Energy and Utilities sectors outperformed the Index during the period. The Fund's investment strategy provides that it will not invest in companies involved in the primary manufacture of certain types of products (e.g., thermal coal and fossil fuels). Thus, our underweight (zero allocation) to high greenhouse gas-emitting sectors (Energy and Utilities) was a primary and material detractor from performance.

(a)  Per share net investment income (loss) has been calculated using the average daily shares method.

(b)  Does not include acquired fund fees and expenses, if any.

(c)  Excludes impact of in-kind transactions.

(d)  Portfolio turnover increased significantly due to changes in the volume and timing of purchases and sales of portfolio holdings during the year.

(e)  Increased trading levels in a given year reflect additional portfolio transactions required to track the "enhanced volatility" methodology of the Fund's underlying index. The Fund expects trading levels to be lower during periods of lower market volatility

(f)  The amount shown reflects a net realized and unrealized gain per share, whereas the Statement of Operations reflected a net realized and unrealized loss for the period for the Fund in total. The difference in realized and unrealized gains and losses for the Fund versus the class is due to the timing of sales and repurchases of the class in relation to fluctuating market values during the period.

Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect that risk of loss to be remote.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Funds follow the specialized accounting and reporting requirements under GAAP that are applicable to investment companies under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.

Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC. (the "Exchange"). The Funds issue and redeem shares at Net Asset Value ("NAV") only in aggregations of 50,000 shares, or 25,000 shares in the case of THB Mid Cap ESG ETF, ESG Core Plus Bond ETF, ESG Corporate Bond ETF, and Nasdaq Next 50 ETF (each a "Creation Unit"). Creation Units are issued and redeemed in exchange for a basket of securities included in the respective Fund's Index (the "Deposit Securities"), and/or with the deposit of a specified cash payment (the "Cash Component"), plus a transaction fee. Shares trade on the Exchange at market prices that may be below, at, or above NAV. Shares of a Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions ("Authorized Participants"). An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the distributor. Only Authorized Participants may purchase or redeem the shares directly from a Fund. In addition, shares may be issued in advance of receipt of Deposit Securities subject to various conditions, including a requirement to maintain on deposit with the Trust cash equal to up to 105% of the market value of the missing Deposit Securities. In each instance of such cash creations or redemptions, transaction fees may be imposed and may be higher than the transaction fees associated with in-kind creations or redemptions.

Each Fund may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, with no par value. Shares of each Fund have equal rights and privileges. A purchase (i.e., creation) transaction fee is imposed for the transfer and other transactional costs associated with the purchase of Creation Units. In addition, a variable fee may be charged on all cash transactions or substitutes for Creation Units. Variable fees received by each Fund are displayed in the Capital Transactions section of the Statements of Changes in Net Assets as an increase to Capital.

The transaction fees for each Fund are listed below:

Investment Valuation:

The Funds record investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Funds' investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

? Level 1 ? quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

? Level 2 ? other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities or interest rates applicable to those securities, etc.)

? Level 3 ? significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds' own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuation techniques are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with entering into those investments.

Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or the "Adviser") has established the Pricing and Liquidity Committee (the "Committee"), and subject to the Trust's Board of Trustees' (the "Board") oversight, the Committee administers and oversees the Funds' valuation policies and procedures, which are approved by the Board.

Portfolio securities listed or traded on securities exchanges, including Exchange-Traded Funds ("ETFs"), and American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), are valued at the closing price on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, if available, or at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price. If there have been no sales for that day on the exchange or system, then a security is valued at the last available bid quotation on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their NAV. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Debt securities are valued each business day by a pricing service approved by the Board. The approved pricing service uses the evaluated bid or the last sale price to value securities. Debt obligations maturing within 60 days may be valued at amortized cost, provided that the amortized cost represents the fair value of such securities. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or an exchange on which they are traded. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

In the event that price quotations or valuations are not readily available, investments are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Board. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, based on the observability of inputs used to determine the fair value. The effect of fair value pricing is that 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.

A summary of the valuations as of June 30, 2022, is included in the table below while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments:

Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"):

The Funds may invest in REITs, which report information on the source of their distributions annually. REITs are pooled investment vehicles that invest primarily in income-producing real estate or real-estate related loans or interests (such as mortgages). Certain distributions received from REITs during the year are recorded as realized gains or return of capital as estimated by the Funds or when such information becomes known.

Securities Purchased on a Delayed-Delivery or When-Issued Basis:

The Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued basis. When-issued securities are securities purchased for delivery beyond normal settlement periods at a stated price and/or yield, thereby involving the risk that the price and/or yield obtained may be more or less than those available in the market when delivery takes place. At the time a Fund makes the commitment to purchase a security on a when-issued basis, the Fund records the transaction and reflects the value of the security in determining net asset value. No interest accrues to the Fund until the transaction settles and payment takes place. Normally, the settlement date occurs within one month of the purchase. A segregated account is established and the Fund maintains cash and/or marketable securities at least equal in value to commitments for when-issued securities. If a Fund owns when-issued securities, these values are included in Payable for investments purchased on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the segregated assets are identified on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments.

Municipal Obligations:

The values of municipal obligations can fluctuate and may be affected by adverse tax, legislative, or political changes, and by financial developments affecting municipal issuers. Payment of municipal obligations may depend on a relatively limited source of revenue, resulting in greater credit risk. Future changes in federal tax laws or the activity of an issuer may adversely affect the tax-exempt status of municipal obligations.

Investment Companies:

Open-End Funds:

The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the board of directors of the underlying funds.

Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities:

The values of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Fund to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The values of mortgage- and asset-backed securities depend in part on the credit quality and adequacy of the underlying assets or collateral and may fluctuate in response to the market's perception of these factors as well as current and future repayment rates. Some mortgage-backed securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government (e.g., mortgage-backed securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association, commonly known as "Ginnie Mae"), while other mortgage-backed securities (e.g., mortgage-backed securities issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, commonly known as "Fannie Mae" and "Freddie Mac," respectively), are backed only by the credit of the government entity issuing them. In addition, some mortgage-backed securities are issued by private entities and, as such, are not guaranteed by the U.S. government or any agency or instrumentality of the U.S. government.

Loans:

Floating rate loans in which a Fund invests are primarily "senior" loans. Senior floating rate loans typically hold a senior position in the capital structures of the borrower, are typically secured by specific collateral, and have a claim on the assets and/or stock of the borrower that is senior to that held by subordinated debtholders and stockholders of the borrower. While these protections may reduce risk, these investments still present significant credit risk. A significant portion of a Fund's floating rate investments may be issued in connection with highly leveraged transactions such as leveraged buyouts, leveraged recapitalization loans, and other types of acquisition financing. Obligations in these types of transactions are subject to greater credit risk (including default and bankruptcy) than many other investments and may be, or become, illiquid. See the note below regarding below investment grade securities.

The Funds may purchase second-lien loans (secured loans with a claim on collateral subordinate to a senior lender's claim on such collateral), fixed rate loans, unsecured loans, and other debt obligations.

Transactions in loans often settle on a delayed basis, and a Fund may not receive the proceeds from the sale of a loan or pay for a loan purchase for a substantial period of time after entering into the transactions.

Derivative Instruments:

Foreign Exchange Currency Contracts:

Certain Funds may enter into foreign exchange currency contracts to convert U.S. dollars to and from various foreign currencies. A foreign exchange currency contract is an obligation by a Fund to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date at a price (in U.S. dollars) set at the time of the contract. The Funds do not engage in "cross-currency" foreign exchange contracts (i.e., contracts to purchase or sell one foreign currency in exchange for another foreign currency). The Funds' foreign exchange currency contracts might be considered spot contracts (typically a contract of one week or less) or forward contracts (typically a contract term over one week). A spot contract is entered into for purposes of hedging against foreign currency fluctuations relating to a specific portfolio transaction, such as the delay between a security transaction trade date and settlement date. Forward contracts are entered into for purposes of hedging portfolio holdings or concentrations of such holdings. The Funds enter into foreign exchange currency contracts solely for spot or forward hedging purposes, and not for speculative purposes (i.e., the Funds do not enter into such contracts solely for the purpose of earning foreign currency gains). Each foreign exchange currency contract is adjusted daily by the prevailing spot or forward rate of the underlying currency, and any appreciation or depreciation is recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the contract settlement date, at which time the Funds record realized gains or losses equal to the difference between the value of a contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The Funds could be exposed to risk if a counterparty is unable to meet the terms of a foreign exchange currency contract or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. In addition, the use of foreign exchange currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. For the year ended June 30, 2022, the Funds had no open forward foreign exchange currency contracts.

Futures Contracts:

The Funds may enter into contracts for the future delivery of securities or foreign currencies and futures contracts based on a specific security, class of securities, foreign currency or an index, and purchase or sell options on any such futures contracts. A futures contract on a securities index is an agreement obligating either party to pay, and entitling the other party to receive, while the contract is outstanding, cash payments based on the level of a specified securities index. No physical delivery of the underlying asset is made. The Funds may enter into futures contracts in an effort to hedge against market risks. The acquisition of put and call options on futures contracts will give the Funds the right (but not the obligation), for a specified price, to sell or to purchase the underlying futures contract, upon exercise of the option, at any time during the option period. Futures transactions involve brokerage

costs and require the Funds to segregate assets to cover contracts that would require it to purchase securities or currencies. A good faith margin deposit, known as initial margin, of cash or government securities with a broker or custodian is required to initiate and maintain open positions in futures contracts. Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Funds based on the change in the market value of the position and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is closed out, at which time the gain or loss is realized. The Funds may lose the expected benefit of futures transactions if interest rates, exchange rates or securities prices change in an unanticipated manner. Such unanticipated changes may also result in lower overall performance than if the Funds had not entered into any futures transactions. In addition, the value of the Funds' futures positions may not prove to be perfectly or even highly correlated with the value of its portfolio securities or foreign currencies, limiting the Funds' ability to hedge effectively against interest rate, exchange rate and/or market risk and giving rise to additional risks. There is no assurance of liquidity in the secondary market for purposes of closing out futures positions. The collateral held by the Funds is reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities under Deposit with broker for futures contracts.

Management has determined that no offsetting requirements exist as a result of their conclusion that the Funds are not subject to master netting agreements for futures contracts. As of June 30, 2022, the Funds entered into futures contracts primarily for the strategy of hedging or other purposes, including but not limited to, providing liquidity and equitizing cash.

All open derivative positions at year end are reflected on each respective Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The underlying face value of open derivative positions relative to each Fund's net assets at year end is generally representative of the notional amount of open positions to net assets throughout the year.

Investment Transactions and Related Income:

Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date or the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis. Paydown gains or losses on applicable securities, if any, are recorded as a component of Interest income on the Statements of Operations.

The Funds may receive other income from investments in loan assignments and/or unfunded commitments, including amendment fees, consent fees, and commitment fees. These fees are recorded as income when received. These amounts, if received, are included in Interest income on the Statements of Operations.

Withholding taxes on interest, dividends, and gains as a result of certain investments by the Funds have been provided for in accordance with each investment's applicable country's tax rules and rates.

Securities Lending:

The Funds, through a Securities Lending Agreement with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), may lend their securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers and banks, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. Borrowers are required to initially secure their loans for

collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non-U.S. securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls associated with increases in the valuation of the securities loaned are generally cured the next business day. The collateral can be received in the form of cash collateral and/or non-cash collateral. Non-cash collateral can include U.S. Government Securities and other securities as permitted by Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidelines. The cash collateral is invested in short-term instruments or cash equivalents, primarily open-end investment companies, as noted on the Funds' Schedules of Portfolio Investments. The Funds effectively do not have control of the non-cash collateral and therefore it is not disclosed on the Funds' Schedules of Portfolio Investments. Collateral requirements are determined daily based on the value of the Funds' securities on loan as of the end of the prior business day. During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the Funds any dividends or interest paid on such securities plus any fee negotiated between the parties to the lending agreement. The Funds also earn a return from the collateral. The Funds pay Citibank various fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral and fees based on the investment income received from securities lending activities. Securities lending income (net of these fees) is disclosed on the Statements of Operations. Loans are terminable upon demand and the borrower must return the loaned securities within the lesser of one standard settlement period or five business days. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, a Fund could experience a delay in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them. In addition, there is a risk that the value of the short-term investments will be less than the amount of cash collateral required to be returned to the borrower.

The Funds' agreement with Citibank does not include master netting provisions. Non-cash collateral received by the Funds may not be sold or repledged, except to satisfy borrower default.

Foreign Currency Translations:

The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities of a Fund denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the date of the transactions. The Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are disclosed as Net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investment securities and foreign currency translations on the Statements of Operations. Any realized gains or losses from these fluctuations are disclosed as Net realized gains (losses) from investment securities and foreign currency transactions on the Statements of Operations.

Foreign Taxes:

The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes related to foreign income received (a portion of which may be reclaimable), capital gains on the sale of securities, and certain foreign currency transactions. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest.

Federal Income Taxes:

Each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Funds have a tax year end of June 30.

For the year ended June 30, 2022, the Funds did not incur any income tax, interest, or penalties, and have recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain tax positions.

Management of the Funds has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax years, which includes the current fiscal tax year end). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.

Allocations:

Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund, while expenses that are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust, or jointly with an affiliated trust, are allocated among the respective funds in the Trust and/or an affiliated trust based upon net assets or another appropriate basis.

3. Purchases and Sales:

Purchases and sales of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) and purchases and sales associated with in-kind transactions for the year ended June 30, 2022, are included in the table below. Any realized gains or losses from in-kind redemptions are reflected on the Statements of Operations as net realized gains (losses) from in kind redemptions.

6. Risks:

The Funds may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.

Equity Risk ? The value of the equity securities in which the Fund invests may decline in response to developments affecting individual companies and/or general economic conditions in the United States or abroad. A company's earnings or dividends may not increase as expected (or may decline) because of poor management, competitive pressures, reliance on particular suppliers or geographical regions, labor problems or shortages, corporate restructurings, fraudulent disclosures, man-made or natural disasters, military confrontations or wars, terrorism, public health crises, or other events, conditions and factors. Price changes may be temporary or last for extended periods.

Foreign Securities Risk ? The Developed Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF, International Volatility Wtd ETF, International High Div Volatility Wtd ETF and Emerging Market High Div Volatility Wtd ETF invest in securities of foreign issuers in various countries. Investing on an international basis involves certain risks not involved in domestic investments including the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets, imposition of currency exchange controls or restrictions on the repatriation of foreign currency, confiscatory taxation, political or financial instability and diplomatic developments, which could affect the value of a Fund's investments in certain foreign countries. Governments of many countries have exercised, and continue to exercise, substantial influence over many aspects of the private sector through the ownership or control of many companies, including some of the largest in these countries. As a result, government actions in the future could have a significant effect on economic conditions which may adversely affect prices of certain portfolio securities. There is also generally less government supervision and regulation of stock exchanges, brokers and listed companies than in the U.S. Dividends or interest on, or proceeds from the sale of, foreign securities may be subject to foreign withholding taxes, and special U.S. tax considerations may apply. Moreover, foreign economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resource self-sufficiency and balance of payments position. The Schedule of Portfolio Investments includes information on each Fund's holdings, including industry and/or geographic composition, as relevant.

Passive Investment Risk ? Certain Funds are designed to track their indices and are not actively managed. is designed to track its index and is not actively managed. A Fund will not buy or sell shares of an equity security due to current or projected performance of a security, industry or sector, unless that security is added to or removed, respectively, from its index. A Fund does not, therefore, seek returns in excess of its index, and does not attempt to take defensive positions or hedge against potential risks unless such defensive positions are also taken by its index. Different types of investment styles, for example passively managed or actively managed, or growth or value, tend to perform differently and shift into and out of favor with investors depending on changes in market and economic sentiment and conditions. As a result, a Fund's performance may at times be worse than the performance of other mutual funds that invest more broadly or that have different investment styles.

LIBOR Discontinuations Risk ? The London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") discontinuation may adversely affect the financial markets generally and the Funds' operations, finances and investments specifically. LIBOR has been the principal floating-rate benchmark in the financial markets. However, LIBOR has been or will be discontinued as a floating rate benchmark. The date of discontinuation

 


254


 

Victory Portfolios II

  Notes to Financial Statements ? continued
June 30, 2022
 

depends on the LIBOR currency and tenor. With limited exceptions, no new LIBOR obligations will be entered into after December 31, 2021. Existing LIBOR obligations have transitioned or will transition to another benchmark, depending on the LIBOR currency and tenor. For some existing LIBOR-based obligations, the contractual consequences of the discontinuation of LIBOR may not be clear.

Non-LIBOR floating-rate obligations, including Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR")-based obligations, may have returns and values that fluctuate more than those of floating-rate debt obligations that are based on LIBOR or other rates. Also, because SOFR and some alternative floating rates are relatively new market indexes, markets for certain non-LIBOR obligations may never develop or may not be liquid. Market terms for non-LIBOR floating rate obligations, such as the spread over the index reflected in interest-rate provisions, may evolve over time, and prices of non-LIBOR floating rate obligations may be different depending on when they are issued and changing views about correct spread levels.

Various SOFR-based rates, including SOFR-based term rates, and various non-SOFR-based rates are expected to develop in response to the discontinuation of U.S. dollar LIBOR, which may create various risks for the Funds and the financial markets more generally. There are non-LIBOR forward-looking floating rates that are not based on SOFR and that may be considered by participants in the financial markets as LIBOR alternatives. Such rates include AMERIBOR (American Interbank Offered Rate), BSBY (Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index) and BYI (Bank Yield Index). Unlike forward-looking SOFR-based term rates, such rates are intended to reflect a bank credit spread component.

It is not clear how replacement rates for LIBOR ? including SOFR-based rates and non-SOFR-based rates ? will develop and to what extent they will be used. There is no assurance that these replacement rates will be suitable substitutes for LIBOR, and thus the substitution of such rates for LIBOR could have an adverse effect on the Funds and the financial markets more generally. Concerns about market depth and stability could affect the development of non-SOFR-based term rates, and such rates may create various risks, which may or may not be similar to the risks relating to SOFR.

Market Risk ? Overall market risks may affect the value of the Funds. Domestic and international factors such as political events, war, terrorism, trade disputes, inflation rates, interest rate levels and other fiscal and monetary policy changes, cybersecurity incidents, pandemics and other public health crises, sanctions against a particular foreign country, its nationals, businesses or industries and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods or other catastrophes, may add to instability in global economies and markets generally, and may lead to increased market volatility. Global economies and financial markets are highly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region might adversely affect issuers in another country or region. The impact of these and other factors may be short-term or may last for extended periods.

7. Borrowing:

Line of Credit:

The Victory Funds Complex participates in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 27, 2022, with a termination date of June 26, 2023. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex may borrow up to $600 million, of which $300 million is committed and $300 million is uncommitted. $40 million of the Line of Credit is reserved for use by the Victory Floating Rate Fund, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with Victory Floating Rate Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended June 30, 2022, Citibank received an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $300 million for providing the Line of Credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex paid a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest on amounts borrowed. For the period from July 1, 2021, through June 27, 2022, interest was based on the one-month LIBOR plus one percent. Effective with the renewal, for the period June 28, 2022, through June 30, 2022, interest was based on the one-month SOFR plus 1.10 percent.

The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively, distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Funds may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

*  Qualified late-year losses are comprised of post-October capital losses incurred after October 31 and certain late-year ordinary losses. Late-year ordinary losses represent ordinary losses incurred after December 31 and specified losses incurred after October 31. These losses are deemed to arise on the first day of the Fund's next taxable year.

**  The difference between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

As of June 30, 2022, the Funds had net capital loss carryforwards as shown in the table below. It is unlikely that the Board will authorize a distribution of capital gains realized in the future until the capital loss carryforwards have been used.

9. Affiliated Securities:

An affiliated security is a security in which a Fund has ownership of at least 5% of the security's outstanding voting shares, an investment company managed by VCM, or an issuer under common control with a Fund or VCM. The Funds do not invest in affiliated securities for the purpose of exercising management or control. These securities are noted as affiliated on a Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments.

Section 12(d)(3) of the 1940 Act, and Rule 12d3-1(c) under the 1940 Act, generally prohibit a fund from purchasing the securities issued by, among other entities, a fund's investment adviser. When a fund's investment objective is to track the performance of an unaffiliated index by investing in the stocks that comprise that index, the staff of the SEC has taken the position that, subject to certain conditions, the

fund may establish and maintain a position in the common stock of an affiliate of the fund's investment adviser in an amount approximately in proportion to the percentage that the stock is represented in the index. In seeking to provide investment results that closely correspond to its respective unaffiliated index, one or more Funds may hold the securities of Victory Capital Holdings, Inc., the parent company of VCM and other Fund service providers.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds' financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies advised by Victory Capital Management, Inc. since 2015.

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information

Proxy Voting:

Information regarding the policies and procedures each Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling 800-539-3863. The information is also included in the Funds' Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Information relating to how the Funds voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent 12 months ended June 30 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments:

The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. Forms N-PORT are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Expense Examples

As a shareholder of a Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2022, through June 30, 2022.

The Actual Expense figures in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

The Hypothetical Expense figures in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note the expenses shown in the table below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the hypothetical expenses in the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Liquidity Risk Management Program:

The Victory Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the "LRMP") as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration each Fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions; its short- and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other liquidity management tools such as available funding sources including the Victory Funds Complex Interfund Lending Facility and Line of Credit (discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements). The Victory Funds' Board of Trustees approved the appointment of the Funds' investment adviser, Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital"), as the administrator of the LRMP.

Victory Capital manages liquidity risks associated with the Funds' investments by monitoring, among other things, cash and cash equivalents, any use of derivatives, the concentration of investments, the appropriateness of each Fund's investment strategy, and by classifying every Fund investment as either highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid, or illiquid on at least a monthly basis. To assist with the classification of Fund investments, Victory Capital has retained a third-party provider of liquidity evaluation services. This provider determines preliminary liquidity classifications for all portfolio holdings based upon portfolio-level data and certain assumptions provided by Victory Capital. Victory Capital reviews the preliminary liquidity classifications and, when appropriate, considers other information including input from the Funds' portfolio managers (including the portfolio managers employed by any investment sub-advisers) in determining final liquidity classifications.

At a meeting held on February 24, 2022, Victory Capital provided an oral and written report to the Trustees on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP during the previous year. The report from Victory Capital concluded that the Funds did not experience any significant liquidity challenges during the covered period, and the Funds' LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage its liquidity risk. The report also concluded that the LRMP continues to operate adequately and effectively to enable Victory Capital to oversee and manage liquidity risk and ensure each Fund is able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution to the remaining investors' interest in each Fund. During the review period, each Fund's portfolio consisted primarily of highly liquid investments, which are defined as cash and any investments that each Fund reasonably expects to be converted to cash in current market conditions in three business days or less without significantly changing the market value of the investment. Therefore, the Funds have not adopted a highly liquid investment minimum. The Funds' investments were below the limitation on illiquid investments during the review period. Additionally, Victory Capital indicated that no events occurred that would require the filing of Form N-LIQUID and recommended no material changes to the LRMP.

We may also disclose this information to companies that perform marketing services on our behalf. This allows us to continue to offer you Victory investment products and services that meet your investing needs, and to effect transactions that you request or authorize.

The Trust does not share information with other companies for purposes of marketing solicitations for products other than the Trust. Therefore, the Trust does not provide opt-out options to their shareholders.
