Victory Core Bond Fund Summary

Investment Objective

The Victory Core Bond Fund (the "Fund") seeks to provide a high level of current income. Its secondary objective is capital appreciation.

Fund Fees and Expenses

The table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and examples below. You may qualify for sales charge discounts if you and your immediate family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $50,000 in the Victory Funds. More information about these and other discounts is available in Investing with the Victory Funds on page 19 of the Fund's Prospectus, in Appendix A - Variations in Sales Charge Reductions and Waivers Available Through Certain Intermediaries and from your financial intermediary.

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 shown and then sell or continue to hold all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. The amounts shown reflect any fee waiver/expense reimbursement in place through its expiration date. After eight years, Class C shares of the Fund generally will convert automatically to Class A shares of the Fund. The example for Class C shares reflects the conversion to

Victory Core Bond Fund Summary

Class A shares after eight years. 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
Class A	$310	$605	$922	$1,820
Class C	$263	$2,970	$5,242	$8,005
Class R6	$59	$214	$382	$870
Class Y	$61	$238	$429	$982

The following example makes the same assumptions as the example above, except that it assumes you do not sell your Class C shares at the end of the period. 

	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Class C	$163	$2,970	$5,242	$8,005

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, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. For the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 36% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategy

The Adviser pursues the Fund's investment objectives by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund's assets in a broad range of bonds.

The Adviser uses bond market sector allocation, yield curve positioning, and comprehensive credit analysis to select securities for the Fund. When making investment decisions for corporate bonds, in addition to considering traditional financial and non-financial factors, the Adviser also considers material Environmental, Social, and Governance ("ESG") related risks and opportunities, both positive and negative, that it believes have the potential to impact a company's financial performance over an investment's time horizon. In evaluating ESG factors, the Adviser seeks to quantify how ESG factors affect a corporate bond issuer's credit quality, but ESG is not a primary factor in the team's investment decision-making process. ESG factors can vary across companies and industries and may include, but are not limited to, environmental impact, corporate governance, ethical business practices, compliance with regulatory requirements, as well as the use of human, natural, and physical capital.

Under normal market conditions, the average duration of the Fund's portfolio is expected to be between three and seven years. Bonds, also known as fixed income securities, in which the Fund may invest include without limitation: U.S. government securities, including securities issued by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. government; long- and short-term corporate debt obligations; mortgage-backed securities, including collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") and commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS"); asset-backed securities, including collateralized debt obligations ("CDOs") and collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs"); convertible bonds and notes; and U.S. dollar-denominated obligations of foreign governments, corporations and banks (i.e., Yankee Bonds).

The bonds in which the Fund will invest generally will be rated investment-grade or better (Baa3 and above by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or BBB- and above by Standard & Poor's), or if unrated, have

Victory Core Bond Fund Summary

been determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality. The Fund may invest up to 5% of its total assets in below-investment-grade debt securities, commonly known as "high yield" securities or "junk bonds."

The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued, to-be-announced ("TBA"), delayed delivery or forward commitment basis and may engage in short-term trading of portfolio securities. There is no limitation on the maturity of any specific security the Fund may purchase, and the Fund may sell any security before it matures.

The Fund may enter into exchange-traded or over-the-counter derivatives transactions of any kind, such as futures contracts (both long and short positions) and options on futures and swap contracts, including, for example, interest rate swaps and credit default swaps. The Fund also may enter into exchange-traded or over-the-counter foreign currency exchange transactions, including currency futures, forward, and options transactions. The Fund may enter into any of these transactions for a variety of purposes, including, but not limited to, hedging various risks such as credit risk, interest rate risk, currency risk, and liquidity risk; taking a net long or short position in certain investments or markets; providing liquidity in the Fund; equitizing cash; minimizing transaction costs; generating income; adjusting the Fund's sensitivity to interest rate risk, currency risk, or other risk; replicating certain direct investments; and asset and sector allocation. Some of these strategies may be considered speculative and involve additional risks.

The Fund may invest in investment companies, including exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), for cash management purposes or to seek exposure to a particular asset class.

Although the Fund will primarily be invested in domestic securities, up to 20% of the Fund's assets may be invested in foreign debt securities issued in U.S. dollars.

The Adviser regularly reviews the Fund's investments and may sell investments when it believes they are no longer attractive due to valuation, changes in the fundamental outlook of the company or other investments are considered more attractive.

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.

General Market Risk - Overall market risks may affect the value of the Fund. 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; imposition of tariffs; 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.

High-Yield/Junk Bond Risk - Lower-quality debt securities can involve a substantially greater risk of default than higher-quality debt securities, and their values can decline significantly over short and

Victory Core Bond Fund Summary

longer periods of time. Lower-quality debt securities tend to be more sensitive to adverse news about the issuer, or the market or economy in general.

Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk - During periods of falling interest rates, mortgage- and asset-backed securities may be called or prepaid, which may result in the Fund having to reinvest proceeds in other investments at a lower interest rate. During periods of rising interest rates, the average life of mortgage- and asset-backed securities may extend, which may lock in a below-market interest rate, increase the security's duration, and reduce the value of the security. Enforcing rights against the underlying assets or collateral may be difficult, or the underlying assets or collateral may be insufficient if the issuer defaults.

Interest Rate Risk - Interest rates may rise or the rate of inflation may increase, impacting the value of investments in fixed income securities. A debt issuer's credit quality may be downgraded or an issuer may default. Interest rates may fluctuate due to changes in governmental fiscal policy initiatives and resulting market reaction to those initiatives.

When-Issued, TBA and Delayed Delivery Risk - The market value of a security issued on a when-issued, to-be-announced or delayed-delivery basis may change before the delivery date, which may adversely impact the Fund's net asset value. There is also the risk that a party fails to deliver the security on time or at all.

Derivatives Risk - Derivative instruments and strategies, including futures and selling securities short, may not perfectly replicate direct investment in the security. Derivatives also entail exposure to counterparty credit risk, the risk of mispricing or improper valuation, and the risk that small price movements can result in substantial gains or losses.

Credit Derivatives Risk - Credit default swaps can create investment leverage and may create additional investment risks that may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in more traditional securities.

Foreign Securities Risk - Foreign securities are subject to political, regulatory, and economic risks not present in domestic investments. Foreign securities could be affected by factors not present in the United States, including expropriation, confiscation of property, and difficulties in enforcing contracts. Compared to U.S. companies, there generally is less publicly available information about foreign companies and there may be less governmental regulation and supervision of foreign companies. Foreign securities generally experience more volatility than their domestic counterparts. In addition, to the extent investments are made in a limited number of countries, events in those countries will have a more significant impact on the Fund. Fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies, currency exchange control regulations, and restrictions or prohibitions on the repatriation of foreign currencies may negatively affect an investment. Dividends and interest received by the Fund and capital gains recognized by the Fund may give rise to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries and may decrease the Fund's return.

Liquidity Risk - Lack of a ready market or restrictions on resale may limit the ability of the Fund to dispose of certain holdings quickly or at prices that represent true market value in the judgment of the Adviser. In addition, the Fund, by itself or together with other accounts managed by the Adviser, may hold a position in an investment that is large relative to the typical trading volume for that investment, which can make it difficult for the Fund to dispose of the position at an advantageous time or price. Illiquid investments and relatively less-liquid investments may also be difficult to value. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that the Fund may not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period because of unusual market conditions, unusually high volume of redemptions, or other reasons. To meet redemption requests or to raise cash to pursue other investment opportunities, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, which may adversely affect the Fund. Over recent years, the capacity of dealers to make markets in fixed-income securities has been outpaced by the growth in the size of the fixed-income markets. Liquidity risk may be magnified in a rising interest rate environment or when

Victory Core Bond Fund Summary

investor redemptions from fixed-income funds may be higher than normal due to the increased supply in the market that would result from selling activity.

Large Shareholder Risk - Certain large shareholders, including other funds advised by the Adviser, may from time to time own a substantial amount of the Fund's shares. 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, and/or accelerate the realization of taxable income and cause the Fund to make taxable distributions to its shareholders earlier than the Fund otherwise would have. In addition, under certain circumstances, non-redeeming shareholders may be treated as receiving a disproportionately large taxable distribution during or with respect to such tax year. To the extent a larger shareholder 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.

Investment Company Risk - An investment company or similar vehicle (including an ETF) in which the Fund invests may not achieve its investment objective. Underlying investment vehicles are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund. Lack of liquidity in an ETF could result in an ETF being more volatile than the underlying portfolio of securities.

Portfolio Turnover Risk - Higher portfolio turnover ratios resulting from additional purchases and sales of portfolio securities generally will result in higher transaction costs, and Fund expenses and may result in the realization of taxable capital gains, including short-term capital gains, which generally are taxed to shareholders at ordinary income tax rates.

Management Risk - The portfolio managers may not execute the Fund's principal investment strategy effectively.

You may lose money by investing in the Fund. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its objective. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

By itself, the Fund does not constitute a complete investment plan and should be considered a long-term investment for investors who can afford to weather changes in the value of their investment.

Investment Performance

The bar chart and table that follow are intended to help you understand some of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows you how the Fund's calendar year performance has varied over the past 10 years. The table compares the Fund's average annual total returns of the Fund's share classes, including applicable maximum sales charges, over the same period to one or more broad measures of market performance. We assume reinvestment of dividends and distributions.

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. The Fund's past performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available on the Fund's website at vcm.com.

After-tax returns use the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the effect 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 (including before taxes). A higher after-tax return may result when a capital loss occurs upon redemption and translates into an assumed tax deduction that benefits the shareholder. Actual after-tax returns depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant if you own your Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. After-tax returns are shown for only one share class. The after-tax returns for other classes will vary.

Victory Core Bond Fund Summary

Management of the Fund

Investment Adviser

Victory Capital Management Inc. (the "Adviser") serves as the Fund's investment adviser. The portfolio managers jointly and primarily responsible for day-to-day management of the Fund are members of the Adviser's Victory Income Investors investment franchise.

Portfolio Management 

	Title	Tenure with the Fund
James F. Jackson, Jr., CFA	Chief Investment Officer, Head of Fixed Income Portfolio Management, and Senior Portfolio Manager	September 2023
Kurt Daum, J.D.	Senior Portfolio Manager	September 2023
R. Neal Graves, CFA, CPA	Senior Portfolio Manager	September 2023

Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares 

Investment Minimums	Class A	Class C	Class R6	Class Y
Minimum Initial Investment	$2,500	$2,500	None	$1,000,000
Minimum Subsequent Investments	$50	$50	None	None

For Class A and Class C shares a $1,000 minimum initial purchase amount and a $50 minimum subsequent purchase amount apply for Individual Retirement Accounts ("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.

You may redeem your shares on any day the Fund is open for business. Redemption requests may be made by telephone (with prior appropriate approval) or by mail.

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

The Fund's distributions may be taxable whether you receive them in cash, additional shares of the Fund, or you reinvest them in shares of another Victory Fund, and may be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account. Taxes may be imposed on withdrawals from tax-deferred arrangements.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services for investments in all classes except Class R6. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the financial intermediary and its financial advisor to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your financial advisor or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.
