You can find additional information about the Fund at advisor.vcm.com/literature/mutual-fund-prospectuses. You may also request more information by calling 800-225-6292.

Class Name Costs of a $10,000 investment Costs paid as a percentage of a $10,000 investment
Class A* $99 0.99%
How did the Fund perform last year and what affected the Fund performance?
  • For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, the Fund's Class A shares at NAV returned (0.08)%. For the same period, the Fund's broad-based benchmark, the S&P 500 Total Return Index, returned 8.25%. The performance benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Total Return Index, returned 7.76% over the period.
  • Sector allocation was a slight detractor with the Fund's underweight to communication services and consumer staples detracting from performance while being mostly offset by positive contributions from an overweight in the consumer discretionary and financial sector.
  • Stock selection detracted from performance with underweight positions in the outperforming stocks of Apple and NVIDIA detracting from performance over the period. An underweight position in the underperforming Microsoft and a position in outperforming out of benchmark stock Intercontinental Exchange contributed positively to performance.

SECTION I - POLICY PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY

The Pioneer Funds recognize the importance of maintaining the independence of their outside auditors. Maintaining independence is a shared responsibility involving Amundi Asset Management US, Inc., the audit committee and the independent auditors.

The Funds recognize that a Fund's independent auditors: 1) possess knowledge of the Funds, 2) are able to incorporate certain services into the scope of the audit, thereby avoiding redundant work, cost and disruption of Fund personnel and processes, and 3) have expertise that has value to the Funds. As a result, there are situations where it is desirable to use the Fund's independent auditors for services in addition to the annual audit and where the potential for conflicts of interests are minimal. Consequently, this policy, which is intended to comply with Rule 210.2-01(C)(7),sets forth guidelines and procedures to be followed by the Funds when retaining the independent audit firm to perform audit, audit-related tax and other services under those circumstances, while also maintaining independence.

Approval of a service in accordance with this policy for a Fund shall also constitute approval for any other Fund whose pre-approvalis required pursuant to Rule 210.2-01(c)(7)(ii).

In addition to the procedures set forth in this policy, any non-auditservices that may be provided consistently with Rule 210.2-01may be approved by the Audit Committee itself and any pre-approvalthat may be waived in accordance with Rule 210.2-01(c)(7)(i)(C)is hereby waived.

Selection of a Fund's independent auditors and their compensation shall be determined by the Audit Committee and shall not be subject to this policy.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Victory Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund (the "Fund") is one of 29 portfolios comprising Victory Portfolios IV (the "Trust"), a Delaware statutory trust. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund, which commenced operations on May 2, 2025, is the successor to Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund (the "Predecessor Fund") and, accordingly, the Predecessor Fund's performance and financial history have become the performance and financial history of the Fund. The Predecessor Fund transferred all of the net assets of its Class A, Class C, Class K, Class R and Class Y shares in exchange for the Fund's Class A, Class C, Class R6, Class R and Class Y shares, respectively, on May 2, 2025, in a one-to-one exchange ratio, pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization (the "Reorganization"), which was approved by the shareholders of the Predecessor Fund on April 29, 2025. Accordingly, the Reorganization, which was a tax-free exchange, had no effect on the Fund's operations. The Fund's investment objective is to seek long-term capital growth.
The Fund offers five classes of shares designated as Class A, Class C, Class R6, Class R and Class Y shares. Each class of shares represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments of the Fund and has identical rights (based on relative net asset values) to assets and liquidation proceeds. Share classes can bear different rates of class-specific fees and expenses, such as transfer agent and distribution fees. Differences in class specific fees and expenses will result in differences in net investment income and, therefore, the payment of different dividends from net investment income earned by each class. The Trust Instrument of the Trust gives the Board of Trustees the flexibility to specify either per-share voting or dollar-weighted voting when submitting matters for shareholder approval. Under per-share voting, each share of a class of the Fund is entitled to one vote. Under dollar weighted voting, a shareholder's voting power is determined not by the number of shares owned, but by the dollar value of the shares on the record date.
Each share class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters affecting only that class, including with respect to the distribution plan for that class. There is no distribution plan for Class R6 or Class Y shares.
Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or the "Adviser"), the Fund's investment adviser, is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Victory
Victory Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual | 3/31/2515
Table of Contents
Capital Holdings, Inc., a publicly traded Delaware corporation, and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Victory Capital Operating, LLC.
Victory Capital Services, Inc. (the "Distributor") an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as Distributor for the continuous offering of the shares of the Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement between the Distributor and the Trust and receives no fee or other compensation for these services.
The Fund is required to comply with Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, which governs the use of derivatives by registered investment companies. Rule 18f-4 permits funds to enter into derivatives transactions (as defined in Rule 18f-4) and certain other transactions notwithstanding the restrictions on the issuance of "senior securities" under Section 18 of the 1940 Act. Rule 18f-4 requires a fund to establish and maintain a comprehensive derivative risk management program, appoint a derivative risk manager and comply with a relative or absolute limit on fund leverage risk calculated based on value-at-risk ("VaR"), unless the Fund uses derivatives in only a limited manner (a "limited derivatives user"). The Fund is currently a limited derivatives user for purposes of Rule 18f-4.
The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07) during the period. The Fund's adoption of the new standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Fund's financial position or results of operations. The Fund's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has been identified as the Chief Operations Decision Maker (CODM) who assesses performance and allocates resources with respect to the Fund. The Fund's operations constitute a single operating segment and therefore, a single reportable segment, because the Fund has a single investment strategy as disclosed in its prospectus, against which the CODM manages the business activities using information of the Fund as a whole, and assesses performance of the Fund. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is the same as that presented within the Fund's financial statements.
The Fund is an investment company and follows investment company accounting and reporting guidance under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP"). U.S. GAAP requires the management of the Fund to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income, expenses and gain or loss on investments during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements:

Table of Contents
A. Security Valuation
The net asset value of the Fund is computed once daily, on each day the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open, as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE.
Equity securities that have traded on an exchange are valued by using the last sale price on the principal exchange where they are traded. Equity securities that have not traded on the date of valuation, or securities for which sale prices are not available, generally are valued using the mean between the last bid and asked prices or, if both last bid and asked prices are not available, at the last quoted bid price. Last sale and bid and asked prices are provided by independent third party pricing services. In the case of equity securities not traded on an exchange, prices are typically determined by independent third party pricing services using a variety of techniques and methods.
The value of foreign securities is translated into U.S. dollars based on foreign currency exchange rate quotations supplied by a third party pricing source. Trading in non-U.S. equity securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of such times. The Adviser may use a fair value model developed by an independent pricing service to value non-U.S. equity securities.
Shares of open-end registered investment companies (including money market mutual funds) are valued at such fund's net asset value.
Securities for which independent pricing services or broker-dealers are unable to supply prices or for which market prices and/or quotations are not readily available or are considered to be unreliable are valued by a fair valuation team comprised of certain personnel of the Adviser. The Adviser is designated as the valuation designee for the Fund pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Adviser's fair valuation team is responsible for monitoring developments that may impact fair valued securities.
Inputs used when applying fair value methods to value a security may include credit ratings, the financial condition of the company, current market conditions and comparable securities. The Adviser may use fair value methods if it is determined that a significant event has occurred after the close of the exchange or market on which the security trades and prior to the determination of the Fund's net asset value. Examples of a significant event might include political or economic news, corporate restructurings, natural disasters, terrorist activity or trading

halts. Thus, the valuation of the Fund's securities may differ significantly from exchange prices, and such differences could be material.
Repurchase agreements are valued at par. Cash may include overnight time deposits at approved financial institutions.
B. Investment Income and Transactions
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are recorded as soon as the Fund becomes aware of the ex-dividend data in the exercise of reasonable diligence.
Interest income, including interest on income-bearing cash accounts, is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend and interest income are reported net of unrecoverable foreign taxes withheld at the applicable country rates and net of income accrued on defaulted securities.
Interest and dividend income payable by delivery of additional shares is reclassified as PIK (payment-in-kind) income upon receipt and is included in interest and dividend income, respectively.
Security transactions are recorded as of trade date. Gains and losses on sales of investments are calculated on the identified cost method for both financial reporting and federal income tax purposes.
C. Federal Income Taxes
It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net taxable income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. As of March 31, 2025, the Fund did not accrue any interest or penalties with respect to uncertain tax positions, which, if applicable, would be recorded as an income tax expense on the Statement of Operations. Tax returns filed within the prior three years remain subject to examination by federal and state tax authorities.
The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Distributions in excess of net investment income or net realized gains are temporary over distributions for financial statement purposes resulting from differences in the recognition or classification of income or distributions for financial statement and tax purposes. Capital accounts within the financial
18Victory Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual | 3/31/25
Table of Contents
statements are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character, but are not adjusted for temporary differences.
At March 31, 2025, the Fund reclassified $162,167,292 to decrease distributable earnings and $162,167,292 to increase paid-in capital to reflect permanent book/tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, was as follows:
2025 2024
Distributions paid from:
Ordinary income $8,174,863 $23,217,939
Long-term capital gains 400,630,664 199,136,944
Total $408,805,527 $222,354,883
The following shows the components of distributable earnings (losses) on a federal income tax basis at March 31, 2025:
2025
Distributable earnings/(losses):
Undistributed ordinary income $10,618,883
Undistributed long-term capital gains 675,704,477
Net unrealized appreciation 3,185,913,721
Total $3,872,237,081
The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation is attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
D. Fund Shares
The Fund records sales and repurchases of its shares as of trade date. The Predecessor Fund's distributor earned $78,691 in underwriting commissions on the sale of Class A shares during the year ended March 31, 2025.
E. Class Allocations
Income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are calculated at the Fund level and allocated daily to each class of shares based on its respective percentage of adjusted net assets at the beginning of the day.
During the periods covered by these financial statements, distribution fees were calculated based on the average daily net asset value attributable to Class A, Class C and Class R shares of the Predecessor Fund, respectively (see Note 5). Class K and Class Y shares of the
Victory Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual | 3/31/2519
Table of Contents
Predecessor Fund did not pay distribution fees. All expenses and fees paid to the Fund's transfer agent for its services were allocated among the classes of shares based on the number of accounts in each class and the ratable allocation of related out-of-pocket expenses (see Note 4).
During the periods covered by these financial statements, distributions to shareholders were recorded as of the ex-dividend date. During the periods covered by these financial statements, distributions paid by the Predecessor Fund with respect to each class of shares were calculated in the same manner and at the same time, except that net investment income dividends to Class A, Class C, Class K, Class R and Class Y shares of the Predecessor Fund reflected different transfer agent and distribution expense rates.
F. Risks
The value of securities held by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic, political or regulatory conditions, recessions, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, inflation, changes in interest rates, armed conflict such as between Russia and Ukraine or in the Middle East, sanctions against Russia, other nations or individuals or companies and possible countermeasures, lack of liquidity in the bond markets or adverse investor sentiment. In the past several years, financial markets have experienced increased volatility, depressed valuations, decreased liquidity and heightened uncertainty. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread. Inflation and interest rates may increase. These circumstances could adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Fund's investments and negatively impact the Fund's performance.
Some sectors of the economy and individual issuers have experienced or may experience particularly large losses. Periods of extreme volatility in the financial markets, reduced liquidity of many instruments, increased government debt, inflation, and disruptions to supply chains, consumer demand and employee availability, may continue for some time. Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Russian securities lost all, or nearly all, their market value. Other securities or markets could be similarly affected by past or future political, geopolitical or other events or conditions.
Governments and central banks, including the U.S. Federal Reserve, have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. These actions have resulted in significant expansion of public debt, including in the U.S. The
20Victory Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual | 3/31/25
Table of Contents
consequences of high public debt, including its future impact on the economy and securities markets, may not be known for some time.
The U.S. and other countries are periodically involved in disputes over trade and other matters, which may result in tariffs, investment restrictions and adverse impacts on affected companies and securities. For example, the U.S. has imposed tariffs and other trade barriers on Chinese exports, has restricted sales of certain categories of goods to China, and has established barriers to investments in China. Trade disputes may adversely affect the economies of the U.S. and its trading partners, as well as companies directly or indirectly affected and financial markets generally. If the political climate between the U.S. and China does not improve or continues to deteriorate, if China enters into military conflict with Taiwan, the Philippines or another neighbor, or if other geopolitical conflicts develop or get worse, economies, markets and individual securities may be severely affected both regionally and globally, and the value of the Fund's assets may go down.
At times, the Fund's investments may represent industries or industry sectors that are interrelated or have common risks, making the Fund more susceptible to any economic, political, or regulatory developments or other risks affecting those industries and sectors.
Normally, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of large companies. Large companies may fall out of favor with investors and underperform the overall equity market.
Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. In response to the military action by Russia, various countries, including the U.S., the United Kingdom, and European Union issued broad-ranging economic sanctions against Russia and Belarus and certain companies and individuals. Since then, Russian securities lost all, or nearly all, their market value, and many other issuers, securities and markets have been adversely affected. The United States and other countries may impose sanctions on other countries, companies and individuals in light of Russia's military invasion. The extent and duration of the military action or future escalation of such hostilities, the extent and impact of existing and future sanctions, market disruptions and volatility, and the result of any diplomatic negotiations cannot be predicted. These and any related events could have a significant impact on the value and liquidity of certain Fund investments, on Fund performance and the value of an investment in the Fund, particularly with respect to securities and commodities, such as oil, natural gas and food commodities, as well as other sectors with exposure to Russian issuers or issuers in other
Victory Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual | 3/31/2521
Table of Contents
countries affected by the invasion, and are likely to have collateral impacts on market sectors globally.
With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet to conduct business, the Fund is susceptible to operational, information security and related risks. While the investment adviser has established business continuity plans in the event of, and risk management systems to prevent, limit or mitigate, such cyber-attacks, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems, including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified. Furthermore, the Fund cannot control the cybersecurity plans and systems put in place by service providers to the Fund such as the Fund's custodian and accounting agent, and the Fund's transfer agent. In addition, many beneficial owners of Fund shares hold them through accounts at broker-dealers, retirement platforms and other financial market participants over which neither the Fund nor the Adviser exercises control. Each of these may in turn rely on service providers to them, which are also subject to the risk of cyber-attacks. Cybersecurity failures or breaches at the Adviser or the Fund's service providers or intermediaries have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, interference with the Fund's ability to calculate its net asset value, impediments to trading, the inability of Fund shareholders to effect share purchases, redemptions or exchanges or receive distributions, loss of or unauthorized access to private shareholder information and violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, or additional compliance costs. Such costs and losses may not be covered under any insurance. In addition, maintaining vigilance against cyber-attacks may involve substantial costs over time, and system enhancements may themselves be subject to cyber-attacks.
As of the date of this report, a significant portion of the Fund's net asset value is attributable to net unrealized capital gains on portfolio securities. If the Fund realizes capital gains in excess of realized capital losses and any available capital loss carryforwards in any fiscal year, it generally will be required to distribute that excess to shareholders. You may receive distributions that are attributable to appreciation that was present in the Fund's portfolio securities at the time you made your investment but had not been realized at that time, or that are attributable to capital gains or other income that, although realized by the Fund, had not yet been distributed at the time you made your investment. Unless you purchase shares through a tax-advantaged account (such as an IRA or 401(k) plan), these distributions will be

taxable to you. You should consult your tax adviser about the tax consequences of your investment in the Fund.
The Fund's prospectus contains unaudited information regarding the Fund's principal risks. Please refer to that document when considering the Fund's principal risks.
G. Repurchase Agreements
Repurchase agreements are arrangements under which the Fund purchases securities from a broker-dealer or a bank, called the counterparty, upon the agreement of the counterparty to repurchase the securities from the Fund at a later date, and at a specific price, which is typically higher than the purchase price paid by the Fund. The securities purchased serve as the Fund's collateral for the obligation of the counterparty to repurchase the securities. The value of the collateral, including accrued interest, is required to be equal to or in excess of the repurchase price. The collateral for all repurchase agreements is held in safekeeping in the customer-only account of the Fund's custodian or a sub-custodian of the Fund. The Adviser is responsible for determining that the value of the collateral remains at least equal to the repurchase price. In the event of a default by the counterparty, the Fund is entitled to sell the securities, but the Fund may not be able to sell them for the price at which they were purchased, thus causing a loss to the Fund. Additionally, if the counterparty becomes insolvent, there is some risk that the Fund will not have a right to the securities, or the immediate right to sell the securities.
2. Investment Advisory Agreement
The Adviser manages the Fund's portfolio. Management fees payable under the Fund's Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser are calculated daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.65% of the Fund's average daily net assets up to $1 billion, 0.60% of the next $6.5 billion of the Fund's average daily net assets and 0.55% of the Fund's average daily net assets over $7.5 billion. Prior to the Reorganization, Amundi Asset Management US, Inc. ("Amundi US") served as the investment adviser of the Predecessor Fund. Under an investment management agreement with Amundi US, the Predecessor Fund paid management fees at the annual rate of 0.65% of the Predecessor Fund's average daily net assets up to $1 billion; 0.60% of the next $6.5 billion of the Predecessor Fund's average daily net assets and 0.55% of the Predecessor Fund's average daily net assets over $7.5 billion. For the year ended March 31, 2025, the effective management fee was equivalent to 0.61% of the Predecessor Fund's average daily net assets.
Victory Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual | 3/31/2523
Table of Contents
The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and/or reimburse expenses so that the total annual fund operating expenses (excluding certain items such as interest, taxes, and brokerage commissions) do not exceed 0.99%, 1.72%, 0.65%, 1.39%, and 0.76% of the Fund's Class A, Class C, Class R6, Class R, and Class Y shares, respectively. These expense limitations are in effect through May 2, 2028. The Adviser is permitted to recoup advisory fees waived and expenses reimbursed for up to two years after the date of the waiver or reimbursement, subject to the lesser of any operating expense limits in effect at the time of (a) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (b) the recoupment, after giving effect to the recoupment amount. This agreement may only be terminated by the Fund's Board of Trustees. There can be no assurance that the Adviser will extend
the expense limitation agreement for a class of shares beyond the date referred to above.
Prior to the Reorganization, Amundi US contractually agreed to limit ordinary operating expenses (ordinary operating expenses means all fund expenses other than taxes, brokerage commissions and acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation) of the Predecessor Fund to the extent required to reduce Predecessor Fund expenses to 1.40% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares of the Predecessor Fund.
In addition, under the management and administration agreements with Amundi US, certain other services and costs, including accounting, regulatory reporting and insurance premiums, were paid by the Predecessor Fund as administrative reimbursements. Reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities is $1,366,327 in management fees payable to Amundi US at March 31, 2025.
3. Compensation of Officers and Trustees
The Predecessor Fund paid an annual fee to its Trustees. Except for the chief compliance officer, the Predecessor Fund did not pay any salary or other compensation to its officers. The Predecessor Fund paid a portion of the chief compliance officer's compensation for his services as the Predecessor Fund's chief compliance officer. The Predecessor Fund's investment adviser paid the remaining portion of the chief compliance officer's compensation. For the year ended March 31, 2025, the Predecessor Fund paid $406,418 in Officers' and Trustees' compensation, which is reflected on the Statement of Operations as Officers' and Trustees' fees. At March 31, 2025, on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities, the Predecessor Fund had a payable for Trustees' fees of $1,103 and a payable for
24Victory Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual | 3/31/25
Table of Contents
administrative expenses of $187,545, which includes the payable for Officers' compensation.
4. Transfer Agent
BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. serves as the transfer agent to the Fund and the Predecessor Fund at negotiated rates. Transfer agent fees and payables shown on the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, respectively, include sub-transfer agent expenses incurred through the Predecessor Fund's omnibus relationship contracts.
In addition, during the periods covered by the financial statements the Predecessor Fund reimbursed the transfer agent for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the transfer agent related to shareholder communications activities such as proxy and statement mailings, and outgoing phone calls. For the year ended March 31, 2025, such out-of-pocket expenses by class of shares were as follows:
Shareholder Communications:
Class A $63,908
Class C 11,956
Class K 15,043
Class R 2,908
Class Y 143,725
Total $237,540
5. Distribution and Service Plans
The Predecessor Fund adopted a distribution plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 with respect to its Class A, Class C and Class R shares. Pursuant to the Plan, the Predecessor Fund paid its distributor 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares as compensation for personal services and/or account maintenance services or distribution services with regard to Class A shares. Pursuant to the Plan, the Predecessor Fund also paid its distributor 1.00% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares. The fee for Class C shares consisted of a 0.25% service fee and a 0.75% distribution fee paid as compensation for personal services and/or account maintenance services or distribution services with regard to Class C shares. Pursuant to the Plan, the Fund further pays the Distributor 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares for distribution services. Reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities is $186,609 in distribution fees payable to Amundi Distributor US, Inc., the Predecessor Fund's distributor, at March 31, 2025.
The Predecessor Fund also adopted a separate service plan for Class R shares ("Service Plan"). The Service Plan authorized the Predecessor Fund
Victory Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual | 3/31/2525
Table of Contents
to pay securities dealers, plan administrators or other service organizations that agree to provide certain services to retirement plans or plan participants holding shares of the Predecessor Fund a service fee of up to 0.25% of the Predecessor Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares held by such plans.
In addition, redemptions of Class A and Class C shares of the Predecessor Fund were subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC"). A CDSC of 1.00% was imposed on redemptions of certain net asset value purchases of Class A shares within 12 months of purchase. Redemptions of Class C shares within 12 months of purchase were subject to a CDSC of 1.00%, based on the lower of cost or market value of shares being redeemed. Shares purchased as part of an exchange remained subject to any CDSC that applied to the original purchase of those shares. Proceeds from the CDSCs were paid to the Predecessor Fund's distributor. For the year ended March 31, 2025, CDSCs in the amount of $20,544 were paid to Amundi Distributor US, Inc, the Predecessor Fund's distributor.
6. Line of Credit Facility
During the periods covered by these financial statements, the Predecessor Fund participated in a committed, unsecured revolving line of credit ("credit facility"). Borrowings were used solely for temporary or emergency purposes. Under the credit facility, the Predecessor Fund was permitted to borrow up to the lesser of the amount available under the credit facility or the limits set for borrowing by the Predecessor Fund's prospectus and the 1940 Act. The Predecessor Fund participated in a credit facility in the amount of $250 million. The commitment fee with respect to the credit facility was 0.20% of the daily unused portion of each lender's commitment. For the year ended March 31, 2025, the Predecessor Fund had no borrowings under the credit facility.
7. In-Kind Redemption
In accordance with procedures adopted by the Fund's Board, the Fund may distribute portfolio securities rather than cash as a payment for a redemption of Fund shares ("in-kind redemption"). For financial reporting purposes, the Fund recognizes a gain on in-kind redemptions to the extent the value of the distributed securities on the date of redemption exceeds the cost of those securities. Gains and losses realized on in-kind redemptions are not recognized for tax purposes and are reclassified from undistributed realized gain/loss to paid-in capital. During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Predecessor Fund recorded a redemption in-kind of portfolio securities and cash that was valued at $206,808,725. The redeeming shareholder received a pro-rata share of the securities held by the Predecessor Fund. The distribution of such securities generated a
26Victory Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual | 3/31/25
Table of Contents
realized gain of $162,176,160 for the Predecessor Fund, which is reflected on the Statement of Operations.
8. Subsequent Event
On May 2, 2025 (the "Closing Date"), the Predecessor Fund was reorganized with the Fund (the "Reorganization"). The purpose of this transaction was to combine two funds with similar investment objectives and strategies.
This tax-free Reorganization was accomplished by exchanging the assets and liabilities of the Predecessor Fund for shares of the Fund. Shareowners holding Class A, Class C, Class K, Class R and Class Y shares of the Predecessor Fund received Class A, Class C, Class R6, Class R and Class Y shares of the Fund, respectively, in the Reorganization. The investment portfolio of the Predecessor Fund, with an aggregate value of $6,857,671,293 and an identified cost of $3,503,091,899 at May 2, 2025, was the principal asset acquired by the Fund.
The Predecessor Fund was the accounting survivor of the Reorganization. Accordingly, the Predecessor Fund's performance and financial history have become the performance and financial history of the Fund.

To the Board of Trustees of Victory Portfolios IV (formerly Pioneer Series Trust X) and the Shareholders of Victory Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund (formerly Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund):
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Victory Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund (formerly Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund) (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting Victory Portfolios IV) (formerly Pioneer Series Trust X), including the schedule of investments, as of March 31, 2025, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of March 31, 2025, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in net assets and financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial highlights for the years ended March 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 were audited by other auditors. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights in their report dated May 25, 2023.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements and financial highlights 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 Fund 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 and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial

reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, 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 and financial highlights. 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 and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2025, by correspondence with the custodian. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement with Victory Capital Management Inc.
Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital") serves as the investment adviser to Victory Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund (the "Fund") pursuant to an investment advisory agreement between Victory Capital and the Fund (the "Investment Advisory Agreement").
The Fund is newly-organized and was established in connection with the reorganization of Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund (the "Predecessor Fund") into the Fund (the "Reorganization"). The Predecessor Fund and the Fund entered into the Reorganization in connection with the contribution of Amundi Asset Management US, Inc. ("Amundi US"), the Predecessor Fund's investment adviser, to Victory Capital Holdings, Inc. ("Victory Capital Holdings"), the parent company of Victory Capital (the "Transaction"). The Reorganization was approved by shareholders of the Predecessor Fund at a meeting held on April 29, 2025 and was consummated on May 2, 2025.
The Trustees of the Fund, including all of the Independent Trustees, met to consider the Investment Advisory Agreement at an in-person meeting held on December 16, 2024. The Independent Trustees also served on the Board of Trustees of the Predecessor Fund.
To assist the Trustees in their consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, Victory Capital provided extensive information to the Trustees regarding the Reorganization, the Transaction and the investment advisory services to be provided by Victory Capital under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Before and during the December 16, 2024 meeting, the Trustees sought additional information as they deemed necessary and appropriate. In connection with their consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Independent Trustees worked with their independent legal counsel to prepare requests for additional information that were submitted to Victory Capital and Amundi US. The Trustees' requests for information sought information relevant to the Trustees' consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement and anticipated impacts of the Reorganization and the Transaction on the Fund and its shareholders. The Independent Trustees met with senior management representatives of Victory Capital and Amundi US on numerous occasions to discuss various aspects of the Reorganization and the Transaction, to review information provided to assist the Independent Trustees in their consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Reorganization and the Transaction, and to make supplemental due diligence requests for
Victory Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual | 3/31/2531
Table of Contents
additional information from Victory Capital and Amundi US with respect to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Reorganization and the Transaction. Victory Capital and Amundi US provided documents and information in response to the requests from the Independent Trustees, as well as made presentations to, and responded to questions from, the Independent Trustees.
Prior to voting on the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Independent Trustees reviewed the Reorganization, the Transaction and the Investment Advisory Agreement with representatives of Amundi US and Victory Capital, counsel to the Fund and counsel to the Independent Trustees. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the Reorganization, the Transaction and the Investment Advisory Agreement with their independent legal counsel in private sessions at which no representatives of Amundi US, Victory Capital or counsel to the Fund were present.
The Trustees' evaluation of the Investment Advisory Agreement reflected information provided specifically in connection with their review of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as well as, where relevant, information that was previously furnished to the Independent Trustees in connection with the renewal of the Predecessor Fund's investment advisory agreement with Amundi US (the "Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement") at an in-person meeting of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held on September 17, 2024 and at other meetings of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees throughout the prior year.
Among other things, the Trustees considered:
(i) that, in the Transaction, Amundi US would be combined into Victory Capital Holdings in exchange for shares of Victory Capital Holdings issued to Amundi Asset Management S.A.S. ("Amundi"), the parent company of Amundi US, without Amundi becoming a controlling stockholder of Victory Capital Holdings, and that Victory Capital Holdings and Amundi would establish a long-term reciprocal distribution partnership;
(ii) representations by Victory Capital regarding the reputation, experience, financial strength and resources of Victory Capital and its investment franchises;
(iii) that Victory Capital informed the Trustees that the portfolio managers of the Predecessor Fund were expected to continue to act as portfolio managers of the Fund following the consummation of the Reorganization as members of Pioneer Investments, a planned Victory Capital investment franchise, managing the Fund using the same investment approach under which the Predecessor Fund was managed,
32Victory Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual | 3/31/25
Table of Contents
and the Trustees considered the historical investment performance record of the Predecessor Fund under such investment approach;

(v) Victory Capital's distribution capabilities, including its significant network of intermediary relationships, which may provide additional opportunities for the Fund to grow assets and lower fees and expenses through increased economies of scale;

The Independent Trustees further considered materials provided in connection with their review of the Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement, including information regarding the qualifications of the investment management team for the Fund, as well as the level of investment by the Fund's portfolio managers in the Fund. In addition, the Independent Trustees considered the information provided at and in connection with regularly scheduled meetings of the Board of Trustees of the Predecessor Fund throughout the year regarding the Predecessor Fund's performance and risk attributes, including through meetings with investment management personnel, and took into account other information related to the Predecessor Fund provided to the Independent Trustees at regularly scheduled meetings.
At the December 16, 2024 meeting, based on their evaluation of the information provided, the Trustees including the Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the Investment Advisory Agreement.

The Trustees did not identify any single factor as the controlling factor in their determinations.
34Victory Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual | 3/31/25
Table of Contents
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Trustees considered that the Fund is newly-organized and was established in connection with the Reorganization. The Trustees considered that the investment objective, principal investment strategies and principal risks of the Fund are the same as those of the Predecessor Fund. The Trustees also considered Victory Capital's representation that, under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund would be managed using the same investment approach under which the Predecessor Fund was managed.
The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services that had been provided by Amundi US to the Predecessor Fund and that were expected to be provided by Victory Capital to the Fund following the consummation of the Reorganization, taking into account the investment objective and principal investment strategies of the Fund.
The Trustees considered information provided by Victory Capital regarding its business and operating structure, scale of operations, leadership and reputation. The Trustees also considered the capabilities, resources, and personnel of Victory Capital, in order to determine whether Victory Capital is capable of providing at least the same level of investment management services provided to the Predecessor Fund. The Trustees received information regarding Victory Capital's plans to integrate Amundi US investment personnel into Victory Capital as members of Pioneer Investments, a Victory Capital investment franchise. The Independent Trustees noted that they had considered the qualifications of the portfolio managers at Amundi US at meetings of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held prior to September 17, 2024.
The Trustees considered the non-investment resources, infrastructure and personnel of Victory Capital that would be involved in Victory Capital's services to the Fund, including Victory Capital's compliance, risk management, cybersecurity and legal resources and personnel. The Trustees also reviewed information provided by Victory Capital related to its business, legal, and regulatory affairs, including information regarding the resources available to Victory Capital to provide the services specified under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also considered Victory Capital's financial condition, and noted that Victory Capital was expected to be able to provide a high level of service to the Fund and continuously invest and re-invest in its investment management business.
The Trustees considered that Amundi US supervised and monitored the performance of the Predecessor Fund's service providers and provided the Predecessor Fund with personnel (including Fund officers) and other resources that were necessary for the Predecessor Fund's business
Victory Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual | 3/31/2535
Table of Contents
management and operations, and considered the personnel and resources that Victory Capital proposed to provide with respect to such services for the Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also considered that, as administrator, Amundi US was responsible for the administration of the Predecessor Fund's business and other affairs and that, following the Reorganization, Victory Capital would be responsible for the administration of the Fund's business and other affairs. The Trustees considered that the fees Victory Capital would charge for administration services were higher than the fees that Amundi US received as reimbursement for services rendered, and considered Victory Capital's explanation of the reasons for the differences in administration fees charged by Victory Capital and Amundi US as well as the expense limitation arrangement proposed to be implemented for the Fund for at least three years following the completion of the Reorganization.
Based on these considerations, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services that Victory Capital would provide to the Fund would be satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement.
Performance of the Fund
The Fund is newly-organized and does not have a performance history. The Trustees considered that the Fund succeeded to the performance history of the Predecessor Fund in the Reorganization. In considering the Predecessor Fund's performance, the Independent Trustees regularly reviewed and discussed throughout the year data and information comparing the Predecessor Fund's performance with the performance of its peer group of funds, as classified by Morningstar, Inc. (Morningstar), and with the performance of the Predecessor Fund's benchmark index. They also discussed the Predecessor Fund's performance with the Predecessor Fund's portfolio managers on a regular basis. The Independent Trustees' regular reviews and discussions with respect to the Predecessor Fund were factored into the Trustees' deliberations concerning the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement.
In addition, the Trustees considered that the Predecessor Fund's portfolio managers were expected to continue to act as portfolio managers of the Fund following the consummation of the Reorganization as members of Pioneer Investments, a Victory Capital investment franchise. The Trustees also considered that the investment objective and principal investment strategies of the Fund are the same as those of the Predecessor Fund.

Advisory Fee and Expenses
The Independent Trustees considered that the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement would be the same as the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Predecessor Fund. The Independent Trustees also considered that, for at least three years after the close of the Reorganization, Victory Capital had agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of the Fund so that its total net operating expenses (excluding certain customary items) does not exceed the lower of (i) the total net annual operating expenses associated with investing in the Predecessor Fund after application of expense limitation arrangements in effect for the Predecessor Fund, if any, or (ii) the total net annual operating expenses of the Predecessor Fund as of the end of the Predecessor Fund's most recent fiscal year, at the time of the closing of the Reorganization. The Independent Trustees also considered that they had received full comparative fee and expense data in connection with their approval of the continuance of the Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement at the in-person meeting of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held on September 17, 2024. The Trustees concluded that the proposed advisory fee payable by the Fund to Victory Capital was reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of services to be provided by Victory Capital.
Profitability
The Trustees considered information provided by Victory Capital regarding the estimated profitability of Victory Capital with respect to the advisory services proposed to be provided by Victory Capital to the Fund, including the methodology used by Victory Capital in allocating certain of its costs to the management of the Fund. The Trustees also considered Victory Capital's estimated profit margins in connection with the overall operation of the Fund. The Trustees considered the investments Victory Capital expected to make to support and grow the Pioneer funds brand and the costs to integrate the Amundi US/Pioneer Funds business into Victory Capital. The Trustees also considered information regarding Victory Capital's profit margins with respect to the funds it currently manages. The Trustees considered Victory Capital's representation that the fully integrated Amundi US/Pioneer Funds business, including investments to support ongoing growth, was expected to have a positive impact on Victory Capital's overall financial profitability. The Trustees considered Victory Capital's current profit margins in comparison to the limited industry data available and noted that the profitability of any adviser was affected by numerous factors, including its organizational structure and method for
Victory Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual | 3/31/2537
Table of Contents
allocating expenses. The Trustees concluded that Victory Capital's estimated profitability with respect to the management of the Fund was not unreasonable.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the extent to which Victory Capital may realize economies of scale or other efficiencies in managing and supporting the Fund. The Trustees noted the breakpoints in the management fee schedule. The Trustees recognize that economies of scale are difficult to identify and quantify, and that, among other factors that may be relevant, are the following: fee levels, expense subsidization, investment by Victory Capital in research and analytical capabilities and Victory Capital's commitment and resource allocation to the Fund. The Trustees noted that profitability also may be an indicator of the availability of any economies of scale, although profitability may vary for other reasons including due to reductions in expenses. The Trustees concluded that economies of scale, if any, would be appropriately shared with the Fund.
Other Benefits
The Trustees considered the other benefits that Victory Capital may enjoy from its relationship with the Fund. The Trustees considered the character and amount of fees to be paid by the Fund, other than under the Investment Advisory Agreement, for services to be provided by Victory Capital and its affiliates. The Trustees further considered the revenues and profitability of Victory Capital's businesses other than the Fund business. To the extent applicable, the Trustees also considered the potential benefits to the Fund and to Victory Capital and its affiliates from the use of "soft" commission dollars generated by the Fund to pay for research and brokerage services.
The Trustees noted that the completion of the Transaction would result in a long-term reciprocal distribution partnership between Amundi and Victory Capital, and that Victory Capital may benefit from Amundi's ability to market the services of Victory Capital globally, including in an increase of the overall scale of Victory Capital. The Trustees considered that the Transaction would significantly increase Victory Capital's assets under management and expand Victory Capital's investment capabilities. The Trustees considered that this increased size and diversification could facilitate Victory Capital's continued investment in its business and products, which Victory Capital would be able to leverage across a broader base of assets. The Trustees considered that Victory Capital and the Fund are expected to receive reciprocal intangible benefits from the relationship,
38Victory Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual | 3/31/25
Table of Contents
including mutual brand recognition. The Trustees concluded that any such benefits received by Victory Capital as a result of its relationship with the Fund were reasonable.
Conclusion
After consideration of the factors described above as well as other factors, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the Investment Advisory Agreement, including the fees payable thereunder, was fair and reasonable and voted to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Victory Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund (the "Fund") is one of 29 portfolios comprising Victory Portfolios IV (the "Trust"), a Delaware statutory trust. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund, which commenced operations on April 1, 2025, is the successor to Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund (the "Predecessor Fund") and, accordingly, the Predecessor Fund's performance and financial history have become the performance and financial history of the Fund. The Predecessor Fund transferred all of the net assets of Class A, Class C, Class C2, Class K and Class Y shares in exchange for the Fund's Class A, Class C, Class C, Class R6 and Class Y shares, respectively, on April 1, 2025 pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization (the "Reorganization") which was approved by the shareholders of the Predecessor Fund on March 27, 2025. Accordingly, the Reorganization, which was a tax-free exchange, had no effect on the Fund's operations. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek a high level of current income to the extent consistent with a relatively high level of stability of principal.
The Fund offers four classes of shares designated as Class A, Class C, Class R6 and Class Y shares. Each class of shares represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments of the Fund and has identical rights (based on relative net asset values) to assets and liquidation proceeds. Share classes can bear different rates of class-specific fees and expenses, such as transfer agent and distribution fees. Differences in class-specific fees and expenses will result in differences in net investment income and, therefore, the payment of different dividends from net investment income earned by each class. The Second Amended and Restated Trust Instrument of the Trust gives the Board of Trustees the flexibility to specify either per-share voting or dollar-weighted voting when submitting matters for shareholder approval. Under per-share voting, each share of a class of the Fund is entitled to one vote. Under dollar-weighted voting, a shareholder's voting power is determined not by the number of shares owned, but by the dollar value of the shares on the record date. Each share class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters affecting only that class, including with respect to the distribution plan for that class. There is no distribution plan for Class K or Class Y shares.
Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or the "Adviser") is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Victory Capital Holdings, Inc., a publicly traded Delaware corporation, and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Victory

Table of Contents
Capital Operating, LLC. Victory Capital Services, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as Distributor for the continuous offering of the shares of the Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement between the Distributor and the Trust and receives no fee or other compensation for these services.
The Fund is required to comply with Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, which governs the use of derivatives by registered investment companies. Rule 18f-4 permits funds to enter into derivatives transactions (as defined in Rule 18f-4) and certain other transactions notwithstanding the restrictions on the issuance of "senior securities" under Section 18 of the 1940 Act. In accordance with Rule 18f-4, the Fund has established and maintains a comprehensive derivatives risk management program, has appointed a derivatives risk manager and complies with a relative or absolute limit on fund leverage risk calculated based on value-at-risk("VaR").
The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07) during the period. The Fund's adoption of the new standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Fund's financial position or results of operations. The Fund's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has been identified as the Chief Operations Decision Maker (CODM) who assesses performance and allocates resources with respect to the Fund. The Fund's operations constitute a single operating segment and therefore, a single reportable segment, because the Fund has a single investment strategy as disclosed in its prospectus, against which the CODM manages the business activities using information of the Fund as a whole, and assesses performance of the Fund. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is the same as that presented within the Fund's financial statements.
The Fund is an investment company and follows investment company accounting and reporting guidance under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP"). U.S. GAAP requires the management of the Fund to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income, expenses and gain or loss on investments during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements:
Victory Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual | 3/31/2585
Table of Contents
A. Security Valuation
The net asset value of the Fund is computed once daily, on each day the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open, as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE.
Fixed income securities are valued by using prices supplied by independent pricing services, which consider such factors as market prices, market events, quotations from one or more brokers, Treasury spreads, yields, maturities and ratings, or may use a pricing matrix or other fair value methods or techniques to provide an estimated value of the security or instrument. A pricing matrix is a means of valuing a debt security on the basis of current market prices for other debt securities, historical trading patterns in the market for fixed income securities and/or other factors. Non-U.S. debt securities that are listed on an exchange will be valued at the bid price obtained from an independent third party pricing service. When independent third party pricing services are unable to supply prices, or when prices or market quotations are considered to be unreliable, the value of that security may be determined using quotations from one or more broker-dealers.
Loan interests are valued at the mean between the last available bid and asked prices from one or more brokers or dealers as obtained from Loan Pricing Corporation, an independent third party pricing service. If price information is not available from Loan Pricing Corporation, or if the price information is deemed to be unreliable, price information will be obtained from an alternative loan interest pricing service. If no reliable price quotes are available from either the primary or alternative pricing service, broker quotes will be solicited.
Event-linked bonds are valued at the bid price obtained from an independent third party pricing service. Other insurance-linked securities (including reinsurance sidecars, collateralized reinsurance and industry loss warranties) may be valued at the bid price obtained from an independent pricing service, or through a third party using a pricing matrix, insurance industry valuation models, or other fair value methods or techniques to provide an estimated value of the instrument.
Futures contracts are generally valued at the closing settlement price established by the exchange on which they are traded.
The value of foreign securities is translated into U.S. dollars based on foreign currency exchange rate quotations supplied by a third party pricing source. Trading in non-U.S. equity securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the
86Victory Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual | 3/31/25
Table of Contents
Fund's shares are determined as of such times. The Adviser may use a fair value model developed by an independent pricing service to value non-U.S. equity securities.
Shares of open-end registered investment companies (including money market mutual funds) are valued at such funds' net asset value.
Repurchase agreements are valued at par. Cash may include overnight time deposits at approved financial institutions.
Securities or loan interests for which independent pricing services or broker-dealers are unable to supply prices or for which market prices and/or quotations are not readily available or are considered to be unreliable are valued by a fair valuation team comprised of certain personnel of the Adviser. The Adviser is designated as the valuation designee for the Fund pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Adviser's fair valuation team is responsible for monitoring developments that may impact fair valued securities.
Inputs used when applying fair value methods to value a security may include credit ratings, the financial condition of the company, current market conditions and comparable securities. The Adviser may use fair value methods if it is determined that a significant event has occurred after the close of the exchange or market on which the security trades and prior to the determination of the Fund's net asset value. Examples of a significant event might include political or economic news, corporate restructurings, natural disasters, terrorist activity or trading halts. Thus, the valuation of the Fund's securities may differ significantly from exchange prices, and such differences could be material.
B. Investment Income and Transactions
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are recorded as soon as the Fund becomes aware of the ex-dividend data in the exercise of reasonable diligence.
Interest income, including interest on income-bearing cash accounts, is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend and interest income are reported net of unrecoverable foreign taxes withheld at the applicable country rates and net of income accrued on defaulted securities.
Interest and dividend income payable by delivery of additional shares is reclassified as PIK (payment-in-kind) income upon receipt and is included in interest and dividend income, respectively.
Victory Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual | 3/31/2587
Table of Contents
Principal amounts of mortgage-backed securities are adjusted for monthly paydowns. Premiums and discounts related to certain mortgage-backed securities are amortized or accreted in proportion to the monthly paydowns. All discounts/premiums on purchase prices of debt securities are accreted/amortized for financial reporting purposes over the life of the respective securities, and such accretion/amortization is included in interest income.
Security transactions are recorded as of trade date. Gains and losses on sales of investments are calculated on the identified cost method for both financial reporting and federal income tax purposes.
C. Federal Income Taxes
It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net taxable income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. As of March 31, 2025, the Fund did not accrue any interest or penalties with respect to uncertain tax positions, which, if applicable, would be recorded as an income tax expense on the Statement of Operations. Tax returns filed within the prior three years remain subject to examination by federal and state tax authorities.
The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Distributions in excess of net investment income or net realized gains are temporary over distributions for financial statement purposes resulting from differences in the recognition or classification of income or distributions for financial statement and tax purposes. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character, but are not adjusted for temporary differences.
At March 31, 2025, the Fund reclassified $2,135,665 to increase distributable earnings and $2,135,665 to decrease paid-in capital to reflect permanent book/tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
At March 31, 2025, the Fund deferred $313,962 of late-year ordinary losses, which will be recognized by the Fund as occurring at the start of the next fiscal year ending March 31, 2026.
At March 31, 2025, the Fund was permitted to carry forward indefinitely $154,736,026 of short-term losses and $120,173,927 of long-term losses.
88Victory Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual | 3/31/25
Table of Contents
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, was as follows:
2025 2024
Distributions paid from:
Ordinary income $358,818,713 $286,458,979
Tax return of capital - 2,756,518
Total $358,818,713 $289,215,497
The following shows the components of distributable earnings (losses) on a federal income tax basis at March 31, 2025:
2025
Distributable earnings/(losses):
Capital loss carryforward $(274,909,953)
Other book/tax temporary differences (1,957,857)
Net unrealized depreciation (15,703,717)
Qualified late year loss deferral (313,962)
Total $(292,885,489)
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized depreciation is attributable to adjustments relating to event-linked bonds, insurance-linked securities, and the tax treatment of premium and amortization.
D. Fund Shares
The Fund records sales and repurchases of its shares as of trade date. The Amundi Distributors US, Inc., the Predecessor Fund's distributor, did not earn underwriting commissions on the sale of Class A shares during the year ended March 31, 2025.
E. Class Allocations
Income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are calculated at the Fund level and allocated daily to each class of shares based on its respective percentage of adjusted net assets at the beginning of the day.
Distribution fees are calculated based on the average daily net asset value attributable to Class A, Class C and Class C2 shares of the Fund, respectively (see Note 5). Class K and Class Y shares of the Predecessor Fund did not pay distribution fees. All expenses and fees paid to the Fund's transfer agent for its services are allocated among the classes of shares based on the number of accounts in each class and the ratable allocation of related out-of-pocket expenses (see Note 4).
Victory Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual | 3/31/2589
Table of Contents
The Fund declares as daily dividends substantially all of its net investment income. All dividends are paid on a monthly basis. Short-term capital gain distributions, if any, may be declared with the daily dividends.
During the periods covered by these financial statements, distributions to shareholders were recorded as of the ex-dividend date. During the periods covered by these financial statements, distributions paid by the Fund with respect to each class of shares were calculated in the same manner and at the same time, except that net investment income dividends to Class A, Class C, Class C2, Class K and Class Y shares reflect different transfer agent and distribution expense rates.
F. Risks
The value of securities held by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic, political or regulatory conditions, recessions, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, inflation, changes in interest rates, armed conflict such as between Russia and Ukraine or in the Middle East, sanctions against Russia, other nations or individuals or companies and possible countermeasures, lack of liquidity in the bond markets or adverse investor sentiment. In the past several years, financial markets have experienced increased volatility, depressed valuations, decreased liquidity and heightened uncertainty. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread. Inflation and interest rates may increase. These circumstances could adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Fund's investments and negatively impact the Fund's performance.
Some sectors of the economy and individual issuers have experienced or may experience particularly large losses. Periods of extreme volatility in the financial markets, reduced liquidity of many instruments, increased government debt, inflation, and disruptions to supply chains, consumer demand and employee availability, may continue for some time. Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Russian securities lost all, or nearly all, their market value. Other securities or markets could be similarly affected by past or future political, geopolitical or other events or conditions.
Governments and central banks, including the U.S. Federal Reserve, have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. These actions have resulted in significant expansion of public debt, including in the U.S. The consequences of high public debt, including its future impact on the economy and securities markets, may not be known for some time.
90Victory Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual | 3/31/25
Table of Contents
The U.S. and other countries are periodically involved in disputes over trade and other matters, which may result in tariffs, investment restrictions and adverse impacts on affected companies and securities. For example, the U.S. has imposed tariffs and other trade barriers on Chinese exports, has restricted sales of certain categories of goods to China, and has established barriers to investments in China. Trade disputes may adversely affect the economies of the U.S. and its trading partners, as well as companies directly or indirectly affected and financial markets generally. If the political climate between the U.S. and China does not improve or continues to deteriorate, if China enters into military conflict with Taiwan, the Philippines or another neighbor, or if other geopolitical conflicts develop or get worse, economies, markets and individual securities may be severely affected both regionally and globally, and the value of the Fund's assets may go down.
At times, the Fund's investments may represent industries or industry sectors that are interrelated or have common risks, making the Fund more susceptible to any economic, political, or regulatory developments or other risks affecting those industries and sectors.
The Fund's investments in foreign markets and countries with limited developing markets may subject the Fund to a greater degree of risk than investments in a developed market. These risks include disruptive political or economic conditions, military conflicts and sanctions, terrorism, sustained economic downturns, financial instability, less liquid trading markets, extreme price volatility, currency risks, reduction of government or central bank support, inadequate accounting standards, tariffs, tax disputes or other tax burdens, nationalization or expropriation of assets and the imposition of adverse governmental laws, arbitrary application of laws and regulations or lack of rule of law and investment and repatriation restrictions. Lack of information and less market regulation also may affect the value of these securities. Withholding and other non-U.S. taxes may decrease the Fund's return. Non-U.S. issuers may be located in parts of the world that have historically been prone to natural disasters. Investing in depositary receipts is subject to many of the same risks as investing directly in non-U.S. issuers. Depositary receipts may involve higher expenses and may trade at a discount (or premium) to the underlying security.
Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. In response to the military action by Russia, various countries, including the U.S., the United Kingdom, and European Union issued broad-ranging economic sanctions against Russia and Belarus and certain companies and individuals. Since then, Russian securities lost all, or nearly all, their market value, and many other issuers, securities and markets have
Victory Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual | 3/31/2591
Table of Contents
been adversely affected. The United States and other countries may impose sanctions on other countries, companies and individuals in light of Russia's military invasion. The extent and duration of the military action or future escalation of such hostilities, the extent and impact of existing and future sanctions, market disruptions and volatility, and the result of any diplomatic negotiations cannot be predicted. These and any related events could have a significant impact on the value and liquidity of certain Fund investments, on Fund performance and the value of an investment in the Fund, particularly with respect to securities and commodities, such as oil, natural gas and food commodities, as well as other sectors with exposure to Russian issuers or issuers in other countries affected by the invasion, and are likely to have collateral impacts on market sectors globally.
The Fund may invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities. The value of mortgage-related and asset-backed securities will be influenced by factors affecting the assets underlying such securities. As a result, during periods of declining asset value, difficult or frozen credit markets, swings in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. Mortgage-backed securities tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rate than other types of debt securities. These securities are also subject to prepayment and extension risks. Some of these securities may receive little or no collateral protection from the underlying assets and are thus subject to the risk of default. The risk of such defaults is generally higher in the case of mortgage-backed investments offered by non-governmental issuers and those that include so-called "sub-prime" mortgages. The structure of some of these securities may be complex and there may be less available information than for other types of debt securities. Upon the occurrence of certain triggering events or defaults, the Fund may become the holder of underlying assets at a time when those assets may be difficult to sell or may be sold only at a loss.
The Fund may invest in credit risk transfer securities. Credit risk transfer securities are unguaranteed and unsecured debt securities issued by government sponsored enterprises and therefore are not directly linked to or backed by the underlying mortgage loans. As a result, in the event that a government sponsored enterprise fails to pay principal or interest on its credit risk transfer securities or goes through a bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, holders of such credit risk transfer securities have no direct recourse to the underlying mortgage loans and will generally receive recovery on par with other unsecured note holders in such a scenario. The risks associated with an investment in credit risk
92Victory Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual | 3/31/25
Table of Contents
transfer securities are different than the risks associated with an investment in mortgage-backed securities issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, or other government sponsored enterprise or issued by a private issuer, because some or all of the mortgage default or credit risk associated with the underlying mortgage loans is transferred to investors. As a result, investors in these securities could lose some or all of their investment in these securities if the underlying mortgage loans default.
The Fund invests in below-investment-grade (high-yield) debt securities and preferred stocks. Some of these high-yield securities may be convertible into equity securities of the issuer. Debt securities rated below-investment-grade are commonly referred to as "junk bonds" and are considered speculative with respect to the issuer's capacity to pay interest and repay principal. These securities involve greater risk of loss, are subject to greater price volatility, and may be less liquid and more difficult to value, especially during periods of economic uncertainty or change, than higher rated debt securities.
The market prices of the Fund's fixed income securities may fluctuate significantly when interest rates change. The value of your investment will generally go down when interest rates rise. A rise in rates tends to have a greater impact on the prices of longer term or duration securities. For example, if interest rates increase by 1%, the value of a Fund's portfolio with a portfolio duration of ten years would be expected to decrease by 10%, all other things being equal. A general rise in interest rates could adversely affect the price and liquidity of fixed income securities. The maturity of a security may be significantly longer than its effective duration. A security's maturity and other features may be more relevant than its effective duration in determining the security's sensitivity to other factors affecting the issuer or markets generally, such as changes in credit quality or in the yield premium that the market may establish for certain types of securities (sometimes called "credit spread"). In general, the longer its maturity the more a security may be susceptible to these factors. When the credit spread for a fixed income security goes up, or "widens", the value of the security will generally go down.
If an issuer or guarantor of a security held by the Fund or a counterparty to a financial contract with the Fund defaults on its obligation to pay principal and/or interest, has its credit rating downgraded or is perceived to be less creditworthy, or the credit quality or value of any underlying assets declines, the value of your investment will typically decline. Changes in actual or perceived creditworthiness
Victory Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual | 3/31/2593
Table of Contents
may occur quickly. The Fund could be delayed or hindered in its enforcement of rights against an issuer, guarantor or counterparty.
The Fund's investments, payment obligations and financing terms may be based on floating rates, such as LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) or SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate). ICE Benchmark Administration, the administrator of LIBOR, has ceased publication of most LIBOR settings on a representative basis. Actions by regulators have resulted in the establishment of alternative reference rates to LIBOR in most major currencies. In the U.S., a common benchmark replacement is based on the SOFR published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, including certain spread adjustments and benchmark replacement conforming changes, although other benchmark replacements (without or without spread adjustments) may be used in certain transactions. The impact of the transition from LIBOR on the Fund's transactions and financial markets generally cannot yet be determined. The transition away from LIBOR may lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets for instruments that have relied on LIBOR and may adversely affect the Fund's performance.
With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet to conduct business, the Fund is susceptible to operational, information security and related risks. While the investment adviser has established business continuity plans in the event of, and risk management systems to prevent, limit or mitigate, such cyber-attacks, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems, including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified. Furthermore, the Fund cannot control the cybersecurity plans and systems put in place by service providers to the Fund such as the Fund's custodian and accounting agent, and the Fund's transfer agent. In addition, many beneficial owners of Fund shares hold them through accounts at broker-dealers, retirement platforms and other financial market participants over which neither the Fund nor the Adviser exercises control. Each of these may in turn rely on service providers to them, which are also subject to the risk of cyber-attacks. Cybersecurity failures or breaches at the Adviser or the Fund's service providers or intermediaries have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, interference with the Fund's ability to calculate its net asset value, impediments to trading, the inability of Fund shareholders to effect share purchases, redemptions or exchanges or receive distributions, loss of or unauthorized access to private shareholder information and violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, or additional compliance costs. Such costs and losses may not be covered under any

insurance. In addition, maintaining vigilance against cyber-attacks may involve substantial costs over time, and system enhancements may themselves be subject to cyber-attacks.
The Fund's prospectus contains unaudited information regarding the Fund's principal risks. Please refer to that document when considering the Fund's principal risks.
G. Restricted Securities
Restricted Securities are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Restricted securities generally are resold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933. Private placement securities are generally considered to be restricted except for those securities traded between qualified institutional investors under the provisions of Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933.
Disposal of restricted investments may involve negotiations and expenses, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult to achieve. Restricted investments held by the Fund at March 31, 2025 are listed in the Schedule of Investments.
H. Insurance-Linked Securities ("ILS")
The Fund invests in ILS. The Fund could lose a portion or all of the principal it has invested in an ILS, and the right to additional interest or dividend payments with respect to the security, upon the occurrence of one or more trigger events, as defined within the terms of an insurance-linked security. Trigger events, generally, are hurricanes, earthquakes, or other natural events of a specific size or magnitude that occur in a designated geographic region during a specified time period, and/or that involve losses or other metrics that exceed a specific amount. There is no way to accurately predict whether a trigger event will occur, and accordingly, ILS carry significant risk. The Fund is entitled to receive principal, and interest and/or dividend payments so long as no trigger event occurs of the description and magnitude specified by the instrument. In addition to the specified trigger events, ILS may expose the Fund to other risks, including but not limited to issuer (credit) default, adverse regulatory or jurisdictional interpretations and adverse tax consequences.
The Fund's investments in ILS may include event-linked bonds. ILS also may include special purpose vehicles ("SPVs") or similar instruments structured to comprise a portion of a reinsurer's catastrophe-oriented business, known as quota share instruments (sometimes referred to as reinsurance sidecars), or to provide reinsurance relating to specific risks
Victory Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual | 3/31/2595
Table of Contents
to insurance or reinsurance companies through a collateralized instrument, known as collateralized reinsurance. Structured reinsurance investments also may include industry loss warranties ("ILWs"). A traditional ILW takes the form of a bilateral reinsurance contract, but there are also products that take the form of derivatives, collateralized structures, or exchange-traded instruments.
Where the ILS are based on the performance of underlying reinsurance contracts, the Fund has limited transparency into the individual underlying contracts, and therefore must rely upon the risk assessment and sound underwriting practices of the issuer. Accordingly, it may be more difficult for the Adviser to fully evaluate the underlying risk profile of the Fund's structured reinsurance investments, and therefore the Fund's assets are placed at greater risk of loss than if the Adviser had more complete information. Structured reinsurance instruments generally will be considered illiquid securities by the Fund. These securities may be difficult to purchase, sell or unwind. Illiquid securities also may be difficult to value. If the Fund is forced to sell an illiquid asset, the Fund may be forced to sell at a loss.
I. Repurchase Agreements
Repurchase agreements are arrangements under which the Fund purchases securities from a broker-dealer or a bank, called the counterparty, upon the agreement of the counterparty to repurchase the securities from the Fund at a later date, and at a specific price, which is typically higher than the purchase price paid by the Fund. The securities purchased serve as the Fund's collateral for the obligation of the counterparty to repurchase the securities. The value of the collateral, including accrued interest, is required to be equal to or in excess of the repurchase price. The collateral for all repurchase agreements is held in safekeeping in the customer-only account of the Fund's custodian or a sub-custodian of the Fund. The Adviser is responsible for determining that the value of the collateral remains at least equal to the repurchase price. In the event of a default by the counterparty, the Fund is entitled to sell the securities, but the Fund may not be able to sell them for the price at which they were purchased, thus causing a loss to the Fund. Additionally, if the counterparty becomes insolvent, there is some risk that the Fund will not have a right to the securities, or the immediate right to sell the securities.
Open repurchase agreements at March 31, 2025 are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.

J. TBA Purchases and Sales Commitments
The Fund may enter into to-be-announced (TBA) purchases or sales commitments (collectively, TBA transactions), pursuant to which it agrees to purchase or sell, respectively, mortgage-backed securities for a fixed unit price, with payment and delivery at a scheduled future date beyond the customary settlement period for such securities. With TBA transactions, the particular securities to be received or delivered by the Fund are not identified at the trade date; however, the securities must meet specified terms, including issuer, rate, and mortgage term, and be within industry-accepted "good delivery" standards. The Fund may enter into TBA transactions with the intention of taking possession of or relinquishing the underlying securities, may elect to extend the settlement by "rolling" the transaction, and/or may use TBA transactions to gain or reduce interim exposure to underlying securities. Until settlement, the Fund maintains liquid assets sufficient to settle its commitment to purchase a TBA or, in the case of a sale commitment, the Fund maintains an entitlement to the security to be sold.
To mitigate counterparty risk, the Fund has entered into agreements with TBA counterparties that provide for collateral and the right to offset amounts due to or from those counterparties under specified conditions. Subject to minimum transfer amounts, collateral requirements are determined and transfers made based on the net aggregate unrealized gain or loss on all TBA commitments with a particular counterparty. At any time, the Fund's risk of loss from a particular counterparty related to its TBA commitments is the aggregate unrealized gain on appreciated TBAs in excess of unrealized loss on depreciated TBAs and collateral received, if any, from such counterparty. As of March 31, 2025, no collateral was pledged by the Fund. Collateral received from counterparties totaled $300,000 for TBAs.
K. Futures Contracts
The Fund may enter into futures transactions in order to attempt to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices and currency exchange rates or to seek to increase total return. Futures contracts are types of derivatives.
All futures contracts entered into by the Fund are traded on a futures exchange. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with a broker an amount of cash or securities equal to the minimum "initial margin" requirements of the associated futures exchange. The amount of cash deposited with the broker as collateral at March 31, 2025 is recorded as "Futures collateral" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Victory Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual | 3/31/2597
Table of Contents
Subsequent payments for futures contracts ("variation margin") are paid or received by the Fund, depending on the daily fluctuation in the value of the contracts, and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Cash received from or paid to the broker related to previous margin movement is held in a segregated account at the broker and is recorded as either "Due from broker for futures" or "Due to broker for futures" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contract is closed, the Fund realizes a gain or loss equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract as well as any fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates where applicable. Futures contracts are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and currency exchange rate risk. Changes in value of the contracts may not directly correlate to the changes in value of the underlying securities. With futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures are exchange-traded and the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
The average notional values of long position and short position futures contracts during the year ended March 31, 2025 were $0 and $37,087,209, respectively. Open futures contracts outstanding at March 31, 2025 are listed in the Schedule of Investments.
2. Investment Advisory Agreement
The Adviser manages the Fund's portfolio. Management fees payable under the Fund's Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser are calculated daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.35% of the Fund's average daily net assets up to $1 billion, 0.30% of the next $4 billion of the Fund's average daily net assets, 0.25% of the next $2.5 billion of the Fund's average daily net assets and 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets over $7.5 billion. Prior to the Reorganization, Amundi Asset Management US, Inc. ("Amundi US") served as the investment adviser of the Predecessor Fund. Under an investment management agreement with Amundi US, the Predecessor Fund paid management fees at the annual rate of 0.35% of the Fund's average daily net assets up to $1 billion, 0.30% of the next $4 billion of the Fund's average daily net assets, 0.25% of the next $2.5 billion of the Fund's average daily net assets and 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets over $7.5 billion. For the year ended March 31, 2025, the effective management fee was equivalent to 0.30% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and/or reimburse expenses so that the total annual fund operating expenses (excluding certain items such as interest, taxes, brokerage
98Victory Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual | 3/31/25
Table of Contents
commissions) do not exceed 0.58%, 0.88%, 0.35%, and 0.44% of the Fund's Class A, Class C, Class R6, and Class Y shares, respectively. These expense limitations are in effect through April 1, 2028. The Adviser is permitted to recoup advisory fees waived and expenses reimbursed for up to two years after the date of the waiver or reimbursement, subject to the lesser of any operating expense limits in effect at the time of (a) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (b) the recoupment, after giving effect to the recoupment amount. The agreement may only be terminated by the Fund's Board of Trustees. There can be no assurance that the Adviser will extend the expense limitation agreement for a class of shares beyond the date referred to above.
In addition, under the Predecessor Fund's management and administration agreements with Amundi US, certain other services and costs, including accounting, regulatory reporting and insurance premiums, were paid by the Fund as administrative reimbursements. Reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities is $731,792 in management fees payable to Amundi US at March 31, 2025.
3. Compensation of Officers and Trustees
The Fund pays an annual fee to its Trustees. Except for the chief compliance officer, the Fund does not pay any salary or other compensation to its officers. The Fund pays a portion of the chief compliance officer's compensation for his services as the Fund's chief compliance officer. The Adviser pays the remaining portion of the chief compliance officer's compensation. For the year ended March 31, 2025, the Predecessor Fund paid $325,915 in Officers' and Trustees' compensation, which is reflected on the Statement of Operations as Officers' and Trustees' fees. At March 31, 2025, on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities, the Predecessor Fund did not have a payable for Trustees' fees and had a payable for administrative expenses of $182,545, which includes the payable for Officers' compensation.
4. Transfer Agent
BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. serves as the transfer agent to the Fund at negotiated rates. Transfer agent fees and payables shown on the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, respectively, include sub-transfer agent expenses incurred through the Fund's omnibus relationship contracts.
Victory Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual | 3/31/2599
Table of Contents
In addition, during the periods covered by the financial statements, the Predecessor Fund reimbursed the transfer agent for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the transfer agent related to shareholder communications activities such as proxy and statement mailings, and outgoing phone calls. For the year ended March 31, 2025, such out-of-pocket expenses by class of shares were as follows:
Shareholder Communications:
Class A $32,824
Class C 2,984
Class C2 82
Class K 602
Class Y 127,197
Total $163,689
5. Distribution Plan
The Predecessor Fund adopted a distribution plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 with respect to its Class A, Class C and Class C2 shares. Pursuant to the Plan, the Predecessor Fund paid its distributor 0.20% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares as compensation for personal services and/or account maintenance services or distribution services with regard to Class A shares. Pursuant to the Plan, the Predecessor Fund also paid its distributor 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C and Class C2 shares. The fee for Class C and Class C2 shares consisted of a 0.25% service fee and a 0.25% distribution fee paid as compensation for personal services and/or account maintenance services or distribution services with regard to Class C and Class C2 shares. In the Reorganization, Class C2 shares of the Predecessor Fund were reorganized into Class C shares of the Fund. Reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities is $206,150 in distribution fees payable to Amundi Distributor US, Inc, the Predecessor Fund's distributor, at March 31, 2025.
In addition, redemptions of Class C2 shares of the Predecessor Fund were subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC"). Redemptions of Class C2 shares within 12 months of purchase were subject to a CDSC of 1.00%, based on the lower of cost or market value of shares being redeemed. Shares purchased as part of an exchange remained subject to any CDSC that applied to the original purchase of those shares. There is no CDSC for Class A, Class C, Class K and Class Y shares. Proceeds from the CDSCs were paid to the Predecessor Fund's Distributor. For the year ended March 31, 2025, CDSCs in the amount of $11,229 were paid to Amundi Distributor US, Inc, the Predecessor Fund's distributor.

6. Line of Credit Facility
During the periods covered by these financial statements, the Predecessor Fund participated in a committed, unsecured revolving line of credit ("credit facility"). Borrowings were used solely for temporary or emergency purposes. The Predecessor Fund was permitted to borrow up to the lesser of the amount available under the credit facility or the limits set for borrowing by the Predecessor Fund's prospectus and the 1940 Act. The Predecessor Fund participated in a credit facility in the amount of $250 million. The commitment fee with respect to the credit facility was 0.20% of the daily unused portion of each lender's commitment. For the year ended March 31, 2025, the Predecessor Fund had no borrowings under the credit facility.
7. Additional Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Fund's use of derivatives may enhance or mitigate the Fund's exposure to the following risks:
Interest rate risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of interest-bearing securities due to changes in the prevailing levels of market interest rates.
Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer of a financial instrument to make further principal or interest payments on an obligation or commitment that it has to the Fund.
Foreign exchange rate risk relates to fluctuations in the value of an asset or liability due to changes in currency exchange rates.
Equity risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of financial instruments as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign exchange rate risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment.
Commodity risk relates to the risk that the value of a commodity or commodity index will fluctuate based on increases or decreases in the commodities market and factors specific to a particular industry or commodity.

9. Subsequent Event
On April 1, 2025 (the "Closing Date"), the Predecessor Fund was reorganized with the Fund (the "Reorganization"). The purpose of this transaction was to combine two funds with similar investment objectives and strategies.
This tax-free Reorganization was accomplished by exchanging the assets and liabilities of the Predecessor Fund for shares of the Fund. Shareholders holding Class A, Class C, Class C2, Class K and Class Y shares of the Predecessor Fund received Class A, Class C, Class C, Class R6 and Class Y shares of the Fund, respectively, in the Reorganization. The investment portfolio of the Predecessor Fund, with an aggregate value of $7,837,439,999 and an identified cost of $7,869,150,326 at April 1, 2025, was the principal asset acquired by the Fund.
The Predecessor Fund was the accounting survivor of the Reorganization. Accordingly, the Predecessor Fund's performance and financial history have become the performance and financial history of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Victory Portfolios IV (formerly Pioneer Series Trust X) and the Shareholders of Victory Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund (formerly Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund):
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Victory Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund (formerly Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund) (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting Victory Portfolios IV) (formerly Pioneer Series Trust X), including the schedule of investments, as of March 31, 2025, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of March 31, 2025, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in net assets and financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial highlights for the years ended March 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 were audited by other auditors. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights in their report dated May 25, 2023.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements and financial highlights 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 Fund 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 and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are
104Victory Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual | 3/31/25
Table of Contents
required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, 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 and financial highlights. 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 and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2025, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement
Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital") serves as the investment adviser to Victory Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund (the "Fund") pursuant to an investment advisory agreement between Victory Capital and the Fund (the "Investment Advisory Agreement").
The Fund is newly-organized and was established in connection with the reorganization of Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund (the "Predecessor Fund") into the Fund (the "Reorganization"). The Predecessor Fund and the Fund entered into the Reorganization in connection with the contribution of Amundi Asset Management US, Inc. ("Amundi US"), the Predecessor Fund's investment adviser, to Victory Capital Holdings, Inc. ("Victory Capital Holdings"), the parent company of Victory Capital (the "Transaction"). The Reorganization was approved by shareholders of the Predecessor Fund at a meeting held on March 27, 2025 and was consummated on April 1, 2025.
The Trustees of the Fund, including all of the Independent Trustees, met to consider the Investment Advisory Agreement at an in-person meeting held on December 16, 2024. The Independent Trustees also served on the Board of Trustees of the Predecessor Fund.
To assist the Trustees in their consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, Victory Capital provided extensive information to the Trustees regarding the Reorganization, the Transaction and the investment advisory services to be provided by Victory Capital under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Before and during the December 16, 2024 meeting, the Trustees sought additional information as they deemed necessary and appropriate. In connection with their consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Independent Trustees worked with their independent legal counsel to prepare requests for additional information that were submitted to Victory Capital and Amundi US. The Trustees' requests for information sought information relevant to the Trustees' consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement and anticipated impacts of the Reorganization and the Transaction on the Fund and its shareholders. The Independent Trustees met with senior management representatives of Victory Capital and Amundi US on numerous occasions to discuss various aspects of the Reorganization and the Transaction, to review information provided to assist the Independent Trustees in their consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Reorganization and the Transaction, and to make supplemental due diligence requests for additional information from Victory Capital and Amundi US with respect to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Reorganization and the
Victory Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual | 3/31/25107
Table of Contents
Transaction. Victory Capital and Amundi US provided documents and information in response to the requests from the Independent Trustees, as well as made presentations to, and responded to questions from, the Independent Trustees.
Prior to voting on the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Independent Trustees reviewed the Reorganization, the Transaction and the Investment Advisory Agreement with representatives of Amundi US and Victory Capital, counsel to the Fund and counsel to the Independent Trustees. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the Reorganization, the Transaction and the Investment Advisory Agreement with their independent legal counsel in private sessions at which no representatives of Amundi US, Victory Capital or counsel to the Fund were present.
The Trustees' evaluation of the Investment Advisory Agreement reflected information provided specifically in connection with their review of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as well as, where relevant, information that was previously furnished to the Independent Trustees in connection with the renewal of the Predecessor Fund's investment advisory agreement with Amundi US (the "Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement") at an in-person meeting of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held on September 17, 2024 and at other meetings of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees throughout the prior year.
Among other things, the Trustees considered:
(i) that, in the Transaction, Amundi US would be combined into Victory Capital Holdings in exchange for shares of Victory Capital Holdings issued to Amundi Asset Management S.A.S. ("Amundi"), the parent company of Amundi US, without Amundi becoming a controlling stockholder of Victory Capital Holdings, and that Victory Capital Holdings and Amundi would establish a long-term reciprocal distribution partnership;
(ii) representations by Victory Capital regarding the reputation, experience, financial strength and resources of Victory Capital and its investment franchises;
(iii) that Victory Capital informed the Trustees that the portfolio managers of the Predecessor Fund were expected to continue to act as portfolio managers of the Fund following the consummation of the Reorganization as members of Pioneer Investments, a planned Victory Capital investment franchise, managing the Fund using the same investment approach under which the Predecessor Fund was managed, and the Trustees considered the historical investment performance record of the Predecessor Fund under such investment approach;
108Victory Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual | 3/31/25
Table of Contents
(iv) the non-investment resources, infrastructure and personnel of Victory Capital that would be involved in Victory Capital's services to the Fund, including Victory Capital's legal and operational structure, risk management, administrative, legal, compliance and cybersecurity functions;
(v) Victory Capital's distribution capabilities, including its significant network of intermediary relationships, which may provide additional opportunities for the Fund to grow assets and lower fees and expenses through increased economies of scale;
(vi) Victory Capital's broad distribution network and a large fund family of Victory Funds may also provide opportunities for asset growth for the Fund and economies of scale through the potential to negotiate lower fee rates from service providers and to determine based on the assets of the entire Victory Fund complex;
(vii) the fact that the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Fund would be the same as the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Predecessor Fund;
(viii) the fact that the Independent Trustees received full comparative fee and expense data in connection with their approval of the continuance of the Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement at the in-person meeting of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held on September 17, 2024;
(ix) that Victory Capital agreed with the Trustees that, for at least three years after the closing of the Reorganization, Victory Capital would waive fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the Fund's total net annual operating expenses (excluding certain customary items) does not exceed the lower of (i) the total net annual operating expenses associated with investing in the Predecessor Fund after application of expense limitation arrangements in effect for the Predecessor Fund, if any, or (ii) the total net annual operating expenses of the Predecessor Fund as of the end of the Predecessor Fund's most recent fiscal year at the time of the closing of the Reorganization, and that the contractual expense limitation agreement permits Victory Capital to recoup advisory fees waived and expenses reimbursed for up to two years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement took place, subject to the lesser of any operating expense limitation in effect at the time of: (1) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (2) recoupment, after giving effect to the recoupment amount;
(x) that the investment objective, principal investment strategies and principal risks of the Fund are the same as those of the Predecessor Fund;
(xi) that Victory Capital had acquired and integrated several investment management companies;
Victory Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual | 3/31/25109
Table of Contents
(xii) that Victory Capital had agreed to conduct, and use reasonable best efforts to cause its affiliates to conduct, its business in compliance with Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act so as not to impose an "unfair burden" on the Fund; and
(xiii) the potential benefits to the shareholders of the Fund, including continuity of portfolio management and operating efficiencies due to the greater scale of Victory Capital that may be achieved from the Reorganization.
Certain of these considerations are discussed in more detail below.
The Trustees also requested, obtained and considered the following information in connection with their evaluation of the Reorganization, the Transaction and the Investment Advisory Agreement for the Fund: (i) memoranda provided by Fund counsel that summarized the legal standards and other considerations that are relevant to the Trustees in their deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement; and (ii) the financial statements of Victory Capital, a profitability analysis provided by Victory Capital, and an analysis from Victory Capital as to possible economies of scale. The Independent Trustees further considered materials provided in connection with their review of the Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement, including information regarding the qualifications of the investment management team for the Fund, as well as the level of investment by the Fund's portfolio managers in the Fund. In addition, the Independent Trustees considered the information provided at and in connection with regularly scheduled meetings of the Board of Trustees of the Predecessor Fund throughout the year regarding the Predecessor Fund's performance and risk attributes, including through meetings with investment management personnel, and took into account other information related to the Predecessor Fund provided to the Independent Trustees at regularly scheduled meetings.
At the December 16, 2024 meeting, based on their evaluation of the information provided, the Trustees including the Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the Investment Advisory Agreement. In approving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered various factors that they determined were relevant, including the factors described below. The Trustees did not identify any single factor as the controlling factor in their determinations.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Trustees considered that the Fund is newly-organized and was established in connection with the Reorganization. The Trustees considered that the investment objective, principal investment strategies and principal risks of the Fund are the same as those of the Predecessor Fund. The
110Victory Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual | 3/31/25
Table of Contents
Trustees also considered Victory Capital's representation that, under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund would be managed using the same investment approach under which the Predecessor Fund was managed.
The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services that had been provided by Amundi US to the Predecessor Fund and that were expected to be provided by Victory Capital to the Fund following the consummation of the Reorganization, taking into account the investment objective and principal investment strategies of the Fund.
The Trustees considered information provided by Victory Capital regarding its business and operating structure, scale of operations, leadership and reputation. The Trustees also considered the capabilities, resources, and personnel of Victory Capital, in order to determine whether Victory Capital is capable of providing at least the same level of investment management services provided to the Predecessor Fund. The Trustees received information regarding Victory Capital's plans to integrate Amundi US investment personnel into Victory Capital as members of Pioneer Investments, a Victory Capital investment franchise. The Independent Trustees noted that they had considered the qualifications of the portfolio managers at Amundi US at meetings of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held prior to September 17, 2024.
The Trustees considered the non-investment resources, infrastructure and personnel of Victory Capital that would be involved in Victory Capital's services to the Fund, including Victory Capital's compliance, risk management, cybersecurity and legal resources and personnel. The Trustees also reviewed information provided by Victory Capital related to its business, legal, and regulatory affairs, including information regarding the resources available to Victory Capital to provide the services specified under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also considered Victory Capital's financial condition, and noted that Victory Capital was expected to be able to provide a high level of service to the Fund and continuously invest and re-invest in its investment management business.
The Trustees considered that Amundi US supervised and monitored the performance of the Predecessor Fund's service providers and provided the Predecessor Fund with personnel (including Fund officers) and other resources that were necessary for the Predecessor Fund's business management and operations, and considered the personnel and resources that Victory Capital proposed to provide with respect to such services for the Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also considered that, as administrator, Amundi US was responsible for the administration of the Predecessor Fund's business and other affairs and
Victory Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual | 3/31/25111
Table of Contents
that, following the Reorganization, Victory Capital would be responsible for the administration of the Fund's business and other affairs. The Trustees considered that the fees Victory Capital would charge for administration services were higher than the fees that Amundi US received as reimbursement for services rendered, and considered Victory Capital's explanation of the reasons for the differences in administration fees charged by Victory Capital and Amundi US as well as the expense limitation arrangement proposed to be implemented for the Fund for at least three years following the completion of the Reorganization.
Based on these considerations, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services that Victory Capital would provide to the Fund would be satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement.
Performance of the Fund
The Fund is newly-organized and does not have a performance history. The Trustees considered that the Fund succeeded to the performance history of the Predecessor Fund in the Reorganization. In considering the Predecessor Fund's performance, the Independent Trustees regularly reviewed and discussed throughout the year data and information comparing the Predecessor Fund's performance with the performance of its peer group of funds, as classified by Morningstar, Inc. (Morningstar), and with the performance of the Predecessor Fund's benchmark index. They also discussed the Predecessor Fund's performance with the Predecessor Fund's portfolio managers on a regular basis. The Independent Trustees' regular reviews and discussions with respect to the Predecessor Fund were factored into the Trustees' deliberations concerning the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement.
In addition, the Trustees considered that the Predecessor Fund's portfolio managers were expected to continue to act as portfolio managers of the Fund following the consummation of the Reorganization as members of Pioneer Investments, a Victory Capital investment franchise. The Trustees also considered that the investment objective and principal investment strategies of the Fund are the same as those of the Predecessor Fund.
Advisory Fee and Expenses
The Independent Trustees considered that the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement would be the same as the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Predecessor Fund. The Independent Trustees also considered that, for at least three years after the close of the Reorganization, Victory Capital had agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of the Fund so that its total net
112Victory Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual | 3/31/25
Table of Contents
operating expenses (excluding certain customary items) does not exceed the lower of (i) the total net annual operating expenses associated with investing in the Predecessor Fund after application of expense limitation arrangements in effect for the Predecessor Fund, if any, or (ii) the total net annual operating expenses of the Predecessor Fund as of the end of the Predecessor Fund's most recent fiscal year, at the time of the closing of the Reorganization. The Independent Trustees also considered that they had received full comparative fee and expense data in connection with their approval of the continuance of the Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement at the in-person meeting of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held on September 17, 2024. The Trustees concluded that the proposed advisory fee payable by the Fund to Victory Capital was reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of services to be provided by Victory Capital.
Profitability
The Trustees considered information provided by Victory Capital regarding the estimated profitability of Victory Capital with respect to the advisory services proposed to be provided by Victory Capital to the Fund, including the methodology used by Victory Capital in allocating certain of its costs to the management of the Fund. The Trustees also considered Victory Capital's estimated profit margins in connection with the overall operation of the Fund. The Trustees considered the investments Victory Capital expected to make to support and grow the Pioneer funds brand and the costs to integrate the Amundi US/Pioneer Funds business into Victory Capital. The Trustees also considered information regarding Victory Capital's profit margins with respect to the funds it currently manages. The Trustees considered Victory Capital's representation that the fully integrated Amundi US/Pioneer Funds business, including investments to support ongoing growth, was expected to have a positive impact on Victory Capital's overall financial profitability. The Trustees considered Victory Capital's current profit margins in comparison to the limited industry data available and noted that the profitability of any adviser was affected by numerous factors, including its organizational structure and method for allocating expenses. The Trustees concluded that Victory Capital's estimated profitability with respect to the management of the Fund was not unreasonable.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the extent to which Victory Capital may realize economies of scale or other efficiencies in managing and supporting the Fund. The Trustees noted the breakpoints in the management fee schedule. The Trustees recognize that economies of scale are difficult to identify and quantify, and that, among other factors that may be relevant,
Victory Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual | 3/31/25113
Table of Contents
are the following: fee levels, expense subsidization, investment by Victory Capital in research and analytical capabilities and Victory Capital's commitment and resource allocation to the Fund. The Trustees noted that profitability also may be an indicator of the availability of any economies of scale, although profitability may vary for other reasons including due to reductions in expenses. The Trustees concluded that economies of scale, if any, would be appropriately shared with the Fund.
Other Benefits
The Trustees considered the other benefits that Victory Capital may enjoy from its relationship with the Fund. The Trustees considered the character and amount of fees to be paid by the Fund, other than under the Investment Advisory Agreement, for services to be provided by Victory Capital and its affiliates. The Trustees further considered the revenues and profitability of Victory Capital's businesses other than the Fund business. To the extent applicable, the Trustees also considered the potential benefits to the Fund and to Victory Capital and its affiliates from the use of "soft" commission dollars generated by the Fund to pay for research and brokerage services.
The Trustees noted that the completion of the Transaction would result in a long-term reciprocal distribution partnership between Amundi and Victory Capital, and that Victory Capital may benefit from Amundi's ability to market the services of Victory Capital globally, including in an increase of the overall scale of Victory Capital. The Trustees considered that the Transaction would significantly increase Victory Capital's assets under management and expand Victory Capital's investment capabilities. The Trustees considered that this increased size and diversification could facilitate Victory Capital's continued investment in its business and products, which Victory Capital would be able to leverage across a broader base of assets. The Trustees considered that Victory Capital and the Fund are expected to receive reciprocal intangible benefits from the relationship, including mutual brand recognition. The Trustees concluded that any such benefits received by Victory Capital as a result of its relationship with the Fund were reasonable.
Conclusion
After consideration of the factors described above as well as other factors, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the Investment Advisory Agreement, including the fees payable thereunder, was fair and reasonable and voted to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement.

CODE OF CONDUCT

FOR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL OFFICER

I.

Covered Officers/Purpose of the Code

A.This Code of Conduct (the "Code") applies to the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of the Funds, and the "Covered Officers", each of whom is set forth in Exhibit A, for the purpose of promoting:

1.

Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

2.

Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that a registrant files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and in other public communications made by the Trusts;

3.

Compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;

4.

The prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code; and

5.

Accountability for adherence to the Code.

B.Each Covered Officer should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest.

II.

Covered Officers Should Handle Ethically Any Actual or Apparent Conflicts of Interest

A.

Overview. A "conflict of interest" occurs when a Covered Officer's private interest interferes with the interests of, or his or her service to, the Trusts. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of his family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position with the Trusts.

Certain conflicts of interest that could arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and the Trusts already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Investment Company Act") and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 ("Investment Advisers Act"). For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the Trusts because of their status as "affiliated persons" of the Trusts. The Trusts' and their investment adviser's compliance programs and procedures are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of these provisions. This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace these programs and procedures, and such conflicts fall outside of the parameters of this Code.

Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts may arise or result from the contractual relationship between the Trusts and the investment adviser and the administrator, whose officers or employees also serve as Covered Officers. As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the Trusts or for the adviser or the administrator, or for both), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on the adviser, the administrator and the Trusts. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the adviser, the administrator and the Trusts and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Trusts. Thus, if performed in conformity with the provisions of the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act, such activities will be deemed to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized by each Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") that the Covered Officers may also be officers or employees of one or more other investment companies covered by this or other codes.

Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions in the Investment Company Act or the Investment Advisers Act. Section C describes the types of conflicts of interest that are covered under this Code, but Covered Officers should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive. The overarching principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of the Company.

B. Obligations of Covered Officers. Each Covered Officer must:

1. Not use his personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by the Trusts whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Trusts;

2. Not cause the Trusts to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than the benefit of the Trusts;

3. Report at least annually outside business affiliations or other relationships (e.g., officer, director, governor, trustee, part-time employment) other than his or her relationship to the Trusts, the investment adviser and the administrator.

C. Conflicts of interest. When a Covered Person becomes aware of a situation that could involve a conflict of interest, or that could reasonably be considered an appearance of a conflict of interest, the Covered Person should disclose this matter to the Chief Compliance Officer. For purposes of this Code, the Chief Compliance Officer shall be the Chief Compliance Officer of Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM"). Examples of these include:

1. Service as a director on the board of any public or private company; The receipt, as an officer of the Trusts, of any gift in excess of $100;

2. The receipt of any entertainment from any company with which the Trusts have current or prospective business dealings, unless such entertainment is business-related, reasonable in cost, appropriate as to time and place, and not so frequent as to raise any question of impropriety;

3. Any ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of the Trusts' service providers, other than their investment adviser, principal underwriter, administrator or any affiliated person thereof;

4. A direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by the Trusts for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from the Covered Officer's employment, such as compensation or equity ownership.

D. Conflicts of interest not specifically enumerated. It is impractical to attempt to list in this Code all possible situations that could result in a conflict of interest. If a proposed transaction, interest, personal activity, or investment raises any concerns, questions or doubts, a Covered Officer should consult with the Chief Compliance Officer before engaging in such transaction or investment or pursuing such interest or activity. The Chief Compliance Officer shall review the facts and circumstances of the actual or potential conflict of interest in accordance with Section IV of these Procedures.

III. Disclosure and Compliance

A. Each Covered Officer should familiarize himself or herself with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Trusts.

B. Each Covered Officer should not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Trusts to others, whether within or outside the Trusts, including to the Trusts' Trustees and auditors, and to governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations.

C. Each Covered Officer should, to the extent appropriate within his or her area of responsibility, consult with other officers and employees of the Trusts, the adviser and the administrator with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents the Trusts file with, or submit to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Trusts.

D.It is the responsibility of each Covered Officer to promote compliance with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations.

IV.

Reporting and Accountability

A. Responsibilities and conduct. Each Covered Officer must

1. Upon adoption of the Code (or thereafter as applicable, upon becoming a Covered Officer), affirm in writing to the appropriate Board that he or she has received, read, and understands the Code;

2. Annually thereafter affirm to the appropriate Board that he or she has complied with the requirements of the Code;

3. Not retaliate against any other Covered Officer or any employee of the Trusts or their affiliated persons for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith; and

4. Notify the Chief Compliance Officer promptly if he or she knows of any violation of this Code. Failure to do so is itself a violation of this Code.

B. Chief Compliance Officer. The Chief Compliance Officer is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation. Based on its review, the Chief Compliance Officer shall advise the Covered Officer that the proposed transaction, investment, interest or activity: (i) would not violate this Code; (ii) would not violate this Code only if conducted in a particular manner and/or subject to certain conditions or safeguards; or (iii) would violate the Code and is, therefore, prohibited.

C. Waivers. A Covered Officer may request a waiver from a provision of this Code if there is a reasonable likelihood that a contemplated action would not involve an actual conflict of interest that this Code is designed to prevent. The Audit and Risk Oversight Committee of the Board (the "Committee") shall review and act upon any request for a waiver from any provision of the Code. The Committee shall disclose any waiver from a provision of the Code to the extent required by SEC rules or any other policy of the Trusts or VCM.

D. Enforcing the Code of Conduct. The Trusts will adhere to the following procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code:

1. The Chief Compliance Officer will take all appropriate action to investigate any potential violations reported to him or her;

2. If, after such investigation, the Chief Compliance Officer believes that no violation has occurred, no further action is required;

3. Any matter that the Chief Compliance Officer believes is a violation shall be reported to the Committee; and

4.

If the Committee concurs that a violation has occurred, it will inform the Board and make a recommendation of appropriate courses of action. The Board will consider and take appropriate action regarding the violation. The Board may among other things, notify VCM, the Trust's administrator, or their Boards of Directors; recommend the assessment of a monetary penalty against the Covered Person; issue a formal written reprimand to, or recommend the dismissal of, the Covered Officer; require additional training by the violator; or recommend modifications to the Trust's policies and procedures.

V.

Other Policies and Procedures

This Code shall be the sole code of conduct adopted by the Trusts for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies relating to that section. Insofar as other policies or procedures of the Trusts, the Trusts' investment adviser, principal underwriter, or other service providers govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Officers who are subject to this Code, they are superseded by this Code to the extent that they overlap or conflict with the provisions of this Code. The Codes of Ethics under Rule 17j-1under the Investment Company Act, and any insider trading policies are separate policies of the Trusts, VCM, any sub-adviseror the principal underwriter that apply to the Covered Officers and others, and are not part of this Code.

VI.

Amendments

Any amendments to this Code, other than amendments to Exhibit A, must be approved or ratified by a majority vote of the Board, including a majority of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the Investment Company Act) (the "Independent Trustees"). Any changes to this Code will, to the extent required, will be disclosed as provided by SEC rules.

VII.

Confidentiality

All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than officers and Trustees of the Trust, the Trusts' investment adviser, administrator or sub-administrator,counsel to the Trusts or counsel to the Independent Trustees.

VIII.

Internal Use

The Code is intended solely for the internal use by the Trusts and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of the Trusts, as to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion.

Item 11. STATEMENT REGARDING BASIS FOR APPROVAL OF INVESMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT. (Unaudited)

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement

Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital") serves as the investment adviser to Victory Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund (the "Fund") pursuant to an investment advisory agreement between Victory Capital and the Fund (the "Investment Advisory Agreement"). The Fund is newly-organized and was established in connection with the reorganization of Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund (the "Predecessor Fund") into the Fund (the "Reorganization"). The Predecessor Fund and the Fund entered into the Reorganization in connection with the contribution of Amundi Asset Management US, Inc. ("Amundi US"), the Predecessor Fund's investment adviser, to Victory Capital Holdings, Inc. ("Victory Capital Holdings"), the parent company of Victory Capital (the "Transaction"). The Reorganization was approved by shareholders of the Predecessor Fund at a meeting held on March 27, 2025 and was consummated on April 1, 2025.

The Trustees of the Fund, including all of the Independent Trustees, met to consider the Investment Advisory Agreement at an in-personmeeting held on December 16, 2024. The Independent Trustees also served on the Board of Trustees of the Predecessor Fund.

To assist the Trustees in their consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, Victory Capital provided extensive information to the Trustees regarding the Reorganization, the Transaction and the investment advisory services to be provided by Victory Capital under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Before and during the December 16, 2024 meeting, the Trustees sought additional information as they deemed necessary and appropriate. In connection with their consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Independent Trustees worked with their independent legal counsel to prepare requests for additional information that were submitted to Victory Capital and Amundi US. The Trustees' requests for information sought information relevant to the Trustees' consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement and anticipated impacts of the Reorganization and the Transaction on the Fund and its shareholders. The Independent Trustees met with senior management representatives of Victory Capital and Amundi US on numerous occasions to discuss various aspects of the Reorganization and the Transaction, to review information provided to assist the Independent Trustees in their consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Reorganization and the Transaction, and to make supplemental due diligence requests for additional information from Victory Capital and Amundi US with respect to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Reorganization and the Transaction. Victory Capital and Amundi US provided documents and information in response to the requests from the Independent Trustees, as well as made presentations to, and responded to questions from, the Independent Trustees.

Prior to voting on the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Independent Trustees reviewed the Reorganization, the Transaction and the Investment Advisory Agreement with representatives of Amundi US and Victory Capital, counsel to the Fund and counsel to the Independent Trustees. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the Reorganization, the Transaction and the Investment Advisory Agreement with their independent legal counsel in private sessions at which no representatives of Amundi US, Victory Capital or counsel to the Fund were present.

The Trustees' evaluation of the Investment Advisory Agreement reflected information provided specifically in connection with their review of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as well as, where relevant, information that was previously furnished to the Independent Trustees in connection with the renewal of the Predecessor Fund's investment advisory agreement with Amundi US (the "Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement") at an in-personmeeting of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held on September 17, 2024 and at other meetings of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees throughout the prior year. Among other things, the Trustees considered:

(i) that, in the Transaction, Amundi US would be combined into Victory Capital Holdings in exchange for shares of Victory Capital Holdings issued to Amundi Asset Management S.A.S. ("Amundi"), the parent company of Amundi US, without Amundi becoming a controlling stockholder of Victory Capital Holdings, and that Victory Capital Holdings and Amundi would establish a long-term reciprocal distribution partnership;

(ii) representations by Victory Capital regarding the reputation, experience, financial strength and resources of Victory Capital and its investment franchises;

(iii) that Victory Capital informed the Trustees that the portfolio managers of the Predecessor Fund were expected to continue to act as portfolio managers of the Fund following the consummation of the Reorganization as members of Pioneer Investments, a planned Victory Capital investment franchise, managing the Fund using the same investment approach under which the Predecessor Fund was managed, and the Trustees considered the historical investment performance record of the Predecessor Fund under such investment approach;

(iv) the non-investmentresources, infrastructure and personnel of Victory Capital that would be involved in Victory Capital's services to the Fund, including Victory Capital's legal and operational structure, risk management, administrative, legal, compliance and cybersecurity functions;

(v) Victory Capital's distribution capabilities, including its significant network of intermediary relationships, which may provide additional opportunities for the Fund to grow assets and lower fees and expenses through increased economies of scale;

(vi) Victory Capital's broad distribution network and a large fund family of Victory Funds may also provide opportunities for asset growth for the Fund and economies of scale through the potential to negotiate lower fee rates from service providers and to determine based on the assets of the entire Victory Fund complex;

(vii) the fact that the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Fund would be the same as the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Predecessor Fund;

(viii) the fact that the Independent Trustees received full comparative fee and expense data in connection with their approval of the continuance of the Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement at the in-personmeeting of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held on September 17, 2024;

(ix) that Victory Capital agreed with the Trustees that, for at least three years after the closing of the Reorganization, Victory Capital would waive fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the Fund's total net annual operating expenses (excluding certain customary items) does not exceedthe lower of (i) the total net annual operating expenses associated with investing in the Predecessor Fund after application of expense limitation arrangements in effect for the Predecessor Fund, if any, or (ii) the total net annual operating expenses of the Predecessor Fund as of the end of the Predecessor Fund's most recent fiscal year at the time of the closing of the Reorganization, and that the contractual expense limitation agreement permits Victory Capital to recoup advisory fees waived and expenses reimbursed for up to two years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement took place, subject to the lesser of any operating expense limitation in effect at the time of: (1) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (2) recoupment, after giving effect to the recoupment amount;

(x) that the investment objective, principal investment strategies and principal risks of the Fund are the same as those of the Predecessor Fund;

(xi) that Victory Capital had acquired and integrated several investment management companies;

(xii) that Victory Capital had agreed to conduct, and use reasonable best efforts to cause its affiliates to conduct, its business in compliance with Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act so as not to impose an "unfair burden" on the Fund; and

(xiii) the potential benefits to the shareholders of the Fund, including continuity of portfolio management and operating efficiencies due to the greater scale of Victory Capital that may be achieved from the Reorganization.

Certain of these considerations are discussed in more detail below. The Trustees also requested, obtained and considered the following information in connection with their evaluation of the Reorganization, the Transaction and the Investment Advisory Agreement for the Fund:

(i) memoranda provided by Fund counsel that summarized the legal standards and other considerations that are relevant to the Trustees in their deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement; and

(ii) the financial statements of Victory Capital, a profitability analysis provided by Victory Capital, and an analysis from Victory Capital as to possible economies of scale. The Independent Trustees further considered materials provided in connection with their review of the Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement, including information regarding the qualifications of the investment management team for the Fund, as well as the level of investment by the Fund's portfolio managers in the Fund. In addition, the Independent Trustees considered the information provided at and in connection with regularly scheduled meetings of the Board of Trustees of the Predecessor Fund throughout the year regarding the Predecessor Fund's performance and risk attributes, including through meetings with investment management personnel, and took into account other information related to the Predecessor Fund provided to the Independent Trustees at regularly scheduled meetings.

At the December 16, 2024 meeting, based on their evaluation of the information provided, the Trustees including the Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the Investment Advisory Agreement. In approving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered various factors that they determined were relevant, including the factors described below. The Trustees did not identify any single factor as the controlling factor in their determinations.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

The Trustees considered that the Fund is newly-organized and was established in connection with the Reorganization. The Trustees considered that the investment objective, principal investment strategies and principal risks of the Fund are the same as those of the Predecessor Fund. The rustees also considered Victory Capital's representation that, under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund would be managed using the same investment approach under which the Predecessor Fund was managed.

The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services that had been provided by Amundi US to the Predecessor Fund and that were expected to be provided by Victory Capital to the Fund following the consummation of the Reorganization, taking into account the investment objective and principal investment strategies of the Fund.

The Trustees considered information provided by Victory Capital regarding its business and operating structure, scale of operations, leadership and reputation. The Trustees also considered the capabilities, resources, and personnel of Victory Capital, in order to determine whether Victory Capital is capable of providing at least the same level of investment management services provided to the Predecessor Fund. The Trustees received information regarding Victory Capital's plans to integrate Amundi US investment personnel into Victory Capital as members of Pioneer Investments, a Victory Capital investment franchise. The Independent Trustees noted that they had considered the qualifications of the portfolio managers at Amundi US at meetings of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held prior to September 17, 2024.

The Trustees considered the non-investmentresources, infrastructure and personnel of Victory Capital that would be involved in Victory Capital's services to the Fund, including Victory Capital's compliance, risk management, cybersecurity and legal resources and personnel. The Trustees also reviewed information provided by Victory Capital related to its business, legal, and regulatory affairs, including information regarding the resources available to Victory Capital to provide the services specified under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also considered Victory Capital's financial condition, and noted that Victory Capital was expected to be able to provide a high level of service to the Fund and continuously invest and re-investin its investment management business. The Trustees considered that Amundi US supervised and monitored the performance of the Predecessor Fund's service providers and provided the Predecessor Fund with personnel (including Fund officers) and other resources that were necessary for the Predecessor Fund's business management and operations, and considered the personnel and resources that Victory Capital proposed to provide with respect to such services for the Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also considered that, as administrator, Amundi US was responsible for the administration of the Predecessor Fund's business and other affairs and hat, following the Reorganization, Victory Capital would be responsible for the administration of the Fund's business and other affairs. The Trustees considered that the fees Victory Capital would charge for administration services were higher than the fees that Amundi US received as reimbursement for services rendered, and considered Victory Capital's explanation of the reasons for the differences in administration fees perating expenses (excluding certain customary items) does not exceed the lower of (i) the total net annual operating expenses associated with investing in the Predecessor Fund after application of expense limitation

arrangements in effect for the Predecessor Fund, if any, or (ii) the total net annual operating expenses of the Predecessor Fund as of the end of the Predecessor Fund's most recent fiscal year, at the time of the closing of the Reorganization. The Independent Trustees also considered that they had received full comparative fee and expense data in connection with their approval of the continuance of the Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement at the in-personmeeting of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held on September 17, 2024. The Trustees concluded that the proposed advisory fee payable by the Fund to Victory Capital was reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of services to be provided by Victory Capital.

Profitability The Trustees considered information provided by Victory Capital regarding the estimated profitability of Victory Capital with respect to the advisory services proposed to be provided by Victory Capital to the Fund, including the methodology used by Victory Capital in allocating certain of its costs to the management of the Fund. The Trustees also considered Victory Capital's estimated profit margins in connection with the overall operation of the Fund. The Trustees considered the investments Victory Capital expected to make to support and grow the Pioneer funds brand and the costs to integrate the Amundi US/Pioneer Funds business into Victory Capital. The Trustees also considered information regarding Victory Capital's profit margins with respect to the funds it currently manages. The Trustees considered Victory Capital's representation that the fully integrated Amundi US/Pioneer Funds business, including investments to support ongoing growth, was expected to have a positive impact on Victory Capital's overall financial profitability. The Trustees considered Victory Capital's current profit margins in comparison to the limited industry data available and noted that the profitability of any adviser was affected by numerous factors, including its organizational structure and method for allocating expenses. The Trustees concluded that Victory Capital's estimated profitability with respect to the management of the Fund was not unreasonable.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees considered the extent to which Victory Capital may realize economies of scale or other efficiencies in managing and supporting the Fund. The Trustees noted the breakpoints in the management fee schedule. The Trustees recognize that economies of scale are difficult to identify and quantify, and that, among other factors that may be relevant, charged by Victory Capital and Amundi US as well as the expense limitation arrangement proposed to be implemented for the Fund for at least three years following the completion of the Reorganization. Based on these considerations, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services that Victory Capital would provide to the Fund would be satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement.

Performance of the Fund

The Fund is newly-organized and does not have a performance history. The Trustees considered that the Fund succeeded to the performance history of the Predecessor Fund in the Reorganization. In considering the Predecessor Fund's performance, the Independent Trustees regularly reviewed and discussed throughout the year data and information comparing the Predecessor Fund's performance with the performance of its peer group of funds, as classified by Morningstar, Inc. (Morningstar), and with the performance of the Predecessor Fund's benchmark index. They also discussed the Predecessor Fund's performance with the Predecessor Fund's portfolio managers on a regular basis. The Independent Trustees' regular reviews and discussions with respect to the Predecessor Fund were factored into the Trustees' deliberations concerning the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement.

In addition, the Trustees considered that the Predecessor Fund's portfolio managers were expected to continue to act as portfolio managers of the Fund following the consummation of the Reorganization as members of Pioneer Investments, a Victory Capital investment franchise. The Trustees also considered that the investment objective and principal investment strategies of the Fund are the same as those of the Predecessor Fund.

Advisory Fee and Expenses

The Independent Trustees considered that the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement would be the same as the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Predecessor Fund. The Independent Trustees also considered that, for at least three years after the close of the Reorganization, Victory Capital had agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of the Fund so that its total net re the following: fee levels, expense subsidization, investment by Victory Capital in research and analytical capabilities and Victory Capital's commitment and resource allocation to the Fund. The Trustees noted that profitability also may be an indicator of the availability of any economies of scale, although profitability may vary for other reasons including due to reductions in expenses. The Trustees concluded that economies of scale, if any, would be appropriately shared with the Fund.

Other Benefits

The Trustees considered the other benefits that Victory Capital may enjoy from its relationship with the Fund. The Trustees considered the character and amount of fees to be paid by the Fund, other than under the Investment Advisory Agreement, for services to be provided by Victory Capital and its affiliates. The Trustees further considered the revenues and profitability of Victory Capital's businesses other than the Fund business. To the extent applicable, the Trustees also considered the potential benefits to the Fund and to Victory Capital and its affiliates from the use of "soft" commission dollars generated by the Fund to pay for research and brokerage services.

The Trustees noted that the completion of the Transaction would result in a long-term reciprocal distribution partnership between Amundi and Victory Capital, and that Victory Capital may benefit from Amundi's ability to market the services of Victory Capital globally, including in an increase of the overall scale of Victory Capital. The Trustees considered that the Transaction would significantly increase Victory Capital's assets under management and expand Victory Capital's investment capabilities. The Trustees considered that this increased size and diversification could facilitate Victory Capital's continued investment in its business and products, which Victory Capital would be able to leverage across a broader base of assets. The Trustees considered that Victory Capital and the Fund are expected to receive reciprocal intangible benefits from the relationship, including mutual brand recognition. The Trustees concluded that any such benefits received by Victory Capital as a result of its relationship with the Fund were reasonable.

Conclusion

After consideration of the factors described above as well as other factors, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the Investment Advisory Agreement, including the fees payable thereunder, was fair and reasonable and voted to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement.

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement with Victory Capital Management Inc.

Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital") serves as the investment adviser to Victory Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund (the "Fund") pursuant to an investment advisory agreement between Victory Capital and the Fund (the "Investment Advisory Agreement").

The Fund is newly-organized and was established in connection with the reorganization of Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund (the "Predecessor Fund") into the Fund (the "Reorganization"). The Predecessor Fund and the Fund entered into the Reorganization in connection with the contribution of Amundi Asset Management US, Inc. ("Amundi US"), the Predecessor Fund's investment adviser, to Victory Capital Holdings, Inc. ("Victory Capital Holdings"), the parent company of Victory Capital (the "Transaction"). The Reorganization was approved by shareholders of the Predecessor Fund at a meeting held on April 29, 2025 and was consummated on May 2, 2025.

The Trustees of the Fund, including all of the Independent Trustees, met to consider the Investment Advisory Agreement at an in-personmeeting held on December 16, 2024. The Independent Trustees also served on the Board of Trustees of the Predecessor Fund.

To assist the Trustees in their consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, Victory Capital provided extensive information to the Trustees regarding the Reorganization, the Transaction and the investment advisory services to be provided by Victory Capital under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Before and during the December 16, 2024 meeting, the Trustees sought additional information as they deemed necessary and appropriate. In connection with their consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Independent Trustees worked with their independent legal counsel to prepare requests for additional information that were submitted to Victory Capital and Amundi US. The Trustees' requests for information sought information relevant to the Trustees' consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement and anticipated impacts of the Reorganization and the Transaction on the Fund and its shareholders. The Independent Trustees met with senior management representatives of Victory Capital and Amundi US on numerous occasions to discuss various aspects of the Reorganization and the Transaction, to review information provided to assist the Independent Trustees in their consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Reorganization and the Transaction, and to make supplemental due diligence requests for additional information from Victory Capital and Amundi US with respect to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Reorganization and the Transaction. Victory Capital and Amundi US provided documents and information in response to the requests from the Independent Trustees, as well as made presentations to, and responded to questions from, the Independent Trustees.

Prior to voting on the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Independent Trustees reviewed the Reorganization, the Transaction and the Investment Advisory Agreement with representatives of Amundi US and Victory Capital, counsel to the Fund and counsel to the Independent Trustees. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the Reorganization, the Transaction and the Investment Advisory Agreement with their independent legal counsel in private sessions at which no representatives of Amundi US, Victory Capital or counsel to the Fund were present.

The Trustees' evaluation of the Investment Advisory Agreement reflected information provided specifically in connection with their review of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as well as, where relevant, information that was previously furnished to the Independent Trustees in connection with the renewal of the Predecessor Fund's investment advisory agreement with Amundi US (the "Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement") at an in-personmeeting of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held on September 17, 2024 and at other meetings of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees throughout the prior year. Among other things, the Trustees considered:

(i) that, in the Transaction, Amundi US would be combined into Victory Capital Holdings in exchange for shares of Victory Capital Holdings issued to Amundi Asset Management S.A.S. ("Amundi"), the parent company of Amundi US, without Amundi becoming a controlling stockholder of Victory Capital Holdings, and that Victory Capital Holdings and Amundi would establish a long-term reciprocal distribution partnership;

(ii) representations by Victory Capital regarding the reputation, experience, financial strength and resources of Victory Capital and its investment franchises;

(iii) that Victory Capital informed the Trustees that the portfolio managers of the Predecessor Fund were expected to continue to act as portfolio managers of the Fund following the consummation of the Reorganization as members of Pioneer Investments, a planned Victory Capital investment franchise, managing the Fund using the same investment approach under which the Predecessor Fund was managed, and the Trustees considered the historical investment performance record of the Predecessor Fund under such investment approach;

(iv) the non-investmentresources, infrastructure and personnel of Victory Capital that would be involved in Victory Capital's services to the Fund, including Victory Capital's legal and operational structure, risk management, administrative, legal, compliance and cybersecurity functions;

(v) Victory Capital's distribution capabilities, including its significant network of intermediary relationships, which may provide additional opportunities for the Fund to grow assets and lower fees and expenses through increased economies of scale;

(vi) Victory Capital's broad distribution network and a large fund family of Victory Funds may also provide opportunities for asset growth for the Fund and economies of scale through the potential to negotiate lower fee rates from service providers and to determine based on the assets of the entire Victory Fund complex;

(vii) the fact that the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Fund would be the same as the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Predecessor Fund;

(viii) the fact that the Independent Trustees received full comparative fee and expense data in connection with their approval of the continuance of the Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement at the in-personmeeting of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held on September 17, 2024;

(ix) that Victory Capital agreed with the Trustees that, for at least three years after the closing of the Reorganization, Victory Capital would waive fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the Fund's total net annual operating expenses (excluding certain customary items) does not exceed the lower of (i) the total net annual operating expenses associated with investing in the Predecessor Fund after application of expense limitation arrangements in effect for the Predecessor Fund, if any, or (ii) the total net annual operating expenses of the Predecessor Fund as of the end of the Predecessor Fund's most recent fiscal year at the time of the closing of the Reorganization, and that the contractual expense limitation agreement permits Victory Capital to recoup advisory fees waived and expenses reimbursed for up to two years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement took place, subject to the lesser of any operating expense limitation in effect at the time of: (1) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (2) recoupment, after giving effect to the recoupment amount;

(x) that the investment objective, principal investment strategies and principal risks of the Fund are the same as those of the Predecessor Fund;

(xi) that Victory Capital had acquired and integrated several investment management companies;

(xii) that Victory Capital had agreed to conduct, and use reasonable best efforts to cause its affiliates to conduct, its business in compliance with Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act so as not to impose an "unfair burden" on the Fund; and

(xiii) the potential benefits to the shareholders of the Fund, including continuity of portfolio management and operating efficiencies due to the greater scale of Victory Capital that may be achieved from the Reorganization.

Certain of these considerations are discussed in more detail below.

The Trustees also requested, obtained and considered the following information in connection with their evaluation of the Reorganization, the Transaction and the Investment Advisory Agreement for the Fund:

(i) memoranda provided by Fund counsel that summarized the legal standards and other considerations that are relevant to the Trustees in their deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement; and

(ii) the financial statements of Victory Capital, a profitability analysis provided by Victory Capital, and an analysis from Victory Capital as to possible economies of scale. The Independent Trustees further considered materials provided in connection with their review of the Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement, including information regarding the qualifications of the investment management team for the Fund, as well as the level of investment by the Fund's portfolio managers in the Fund. In addition, the Independent Trustees considered the information provided at and in connection with regularly scheduled meetings of the Board of Trustees of the Predecessor Fund throughout the year regarding the Predecessor Fund's performance and risk attributes, including through meetings with investment management personnel, and took into account other information related to the Predecessor Fund provided to the Independent Trustees at regularly scheduled meetings.

At the December 16, 2024 meeting, based on their evaluation of the information provided, the Trustees including the Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the Investment Advisory Agreement. In approving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered various factors that they determined were relevant, including the factors described below. The Trustees did not identify any single factor as the controlling factor in their determinations.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

The Trustees considered that the Fund is newly-organized and was established in connection with the Reorganization. The Trustees considered that the investment objective, principal investment strategies and principal risks of the Fund are the same as those of the Predecessor Fund. The Trustees also considered Victory Capital's representation that, under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund would be managed using the same investment approach under which the Predecessor Fund was managed.

The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services that had been provided by Amundi US to the Predecessor Fund and that were expected to be provided by Victory Capital to the Fund following the consummation of the Reorganization, taking into account the investment objective and principal investment strategies of the Fund.

The Trustees considered information provided by Victory Capital regarding its business and operating structure, scale of operations, leadership and reputation. The Trustees also considered the capabilities, resources, and personnel of Victory Capital, in order to determine whether Victory Capital is capable of providing at least the same level of investment management services provided to the Predecessor Fund. The Trustees received information regarding Victory Capital's plans to integrate Amundi US investment personnel into Victory Capital as members of Pioneer Investments, a Victory Capital investment franchise. The Independent Trustees noted that they had considered the qualifications of the portfolio managers at Amundi US at meetings of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held prior to September 17, 2024.

The Trustees considered the non-investmentresources, infrastructure and personnel of Victory Capital that would be involved in Victory Capital's services to the Fund, including Victory Capital's compliance, risk management, cybersecurity and legal resources and personnel. The Trustees also reviewed information provided by Victory Capital related to its business, legal, and regulatory affairs, including information regarding the resources available to Victory Capital to provide the services specified under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also considered Victory Capital's financial condition, and noted that Victory Capital was expected to be able to provide a high level of service to the Fund and continuously invest and re-investin its investment management business.

The Trustees considered that Amundi US supervised and monitored the performance of the Predecessor Fund's service providers and provided the Predecessor Fund with personnel (including Fund officers) and other resources that were necessary for the Predecessor Fund's business anagement and operations, and considered the personnel and resources that Victory Capital proposed to provide with respect to such services for the Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also considered that, as administrator, Amundi US was responsible for the administration of the Predecessor Fund's business and other affairs and that, following the Reorganization, Victory Capital would be responsible for the administration of the Fund's business and other affairs. The Trustees considered that the fees Victory Capital would charge for administration services were higher than the fees that Amundi US received as reimbursement for services rendered, and considered Victory Capital's explanation of the reasons for the differences in administration fees charged by Victory Capital and Amundi US as well as the expense limitation arrangement proposed to be implemented for the Fund for at least three years following the completion of the Reorganization.

Based on these considerations, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services that Victory Capital would provide to the Fund would be satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement.

Performance of the Fund

The Fund is newly-organized and does not have a performance history. The Trustees considered that the Fund succeeded to the performance history of the Predecessor Fund in the Reorganization. In considering the Predecessor Fund's performance, the Independent Trustees regularly reviewed and discussed throughout the year data and information comparing the Predecessor Fund's performance with the performance of its peer group of funds, as classified by Morningstar, Inc. (Morningstar), and with the performance of the Predecessor Fund's benchmark index. They also discussed the Predecessor Fund's performance with the Predecessor Fund's portfolio managers on a regular basis. The Independent Trustees' regular reviews and discussions with respect to the Predecessor Fund were factored into the Trustees' deliberations concerning the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement.

In addition, the Trustees considered that the Predecessor Fund's portfolio managers were expected to continue to act as portfolio managers of the Fund following the consummation of the Reorganization as members of Pioneer Investments, a Victory Capital investment franchise. The Trustees also considered that the investment objective and principal investment strategies of the Fund are the same as those of the Predecessor Fund.

Advisory Fee and Expenses

The Independent Trustees considered that the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement would be the same as the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Predecessor Fund. The Independent Trustees also considered that, for at least three years after the close of the Reorganization, Victory Capital had agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of the Fund so that its total net operating expenses (excluding certain customary items) does not exceed the lower of (i) the total net annual operating expenses associated with investing in the Predecessor Fund after application of expense limitation arrangements in effect for the Predecessor Fund, if any, or (ii) the total net annual operating expenses of the Predecessor Fund as of the end of the Predecessor Fund's most recent fiscal year, at the time of the closing of the Reorganization.

The Trustees concluded that Victory Capital's estimated profitability with respect to the management of the Fund was not unreasonable.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees considered the extent to which Victory Capital may realize economies of scale or other efficiencies in managing and supporting the Fund. The Trustees noted the breakpoints in the management fee schedule. The Trustees recognize that economies of scale are difficult to identify and quantify, and that, among other factors that may be relevant, are the following: fee levels, expense subsidization, investment by Victory

Capital in research and analytical capabilities and Victory Capital's commitment and resource allocation to the Fund. The Trustees noted that profitability also may be an indicator of the availability of any economies of scale, although profitability may vary for other reasons including due to reductions in expenses. The Trustees concluded that economies of scale, if any, would be appropriately shared with the Fund.

Other Benefits

The Trustees considered the other benefits that Victory Capital may enjoy from its relationship with the Fund.
