[2] The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and/or reimburse expenses through at least April 30, 2017 so that the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursement (excluding certain items such as interest, taxes and brokerage commissions) do not exceed 1.41%, 2.16%, and 1.16% of the Fund's Class A, Class C and Class I shares respectively. In addition, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and/or reimburse expenses an additional amount through at least October 31, 2016 so that the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursement (excluding certain items such as interest, taxes and brokerage commissions) do not exceed 1.10%, 1.85%, and 0.85% of the Fund's Class A, Class C and Class I shares, respectively. The Adviser is permitted to recoup advisory fees waived and expenses reimbursed by it or by the Fund's predecessor advisor for up to three years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement took place, subject to any operating expense limits in effect at the time of the original waiver or expense reimbursement and at the time of recoupment. This agreement may only be terminated by the Fund's Board of Trustees.
Example:

The following example is designed to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods shown and then sell all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Expense Example - Victory CEMP International Volatility Wtd Index Fund - USD ($)
1 Year
3 Years
5 Years
10 Years
Class A 681 997 1,346 2,327
Class C 288 665 1,175 2,577
Class I 87 368 682 1,572
The following example makes the same assumptions as the example above, except that it assumes you do not sell your shares at the end of the period.

Portfolio Turnover:

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 37.6% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets in the stock of the issuers included in the CEMP International 500 Volatility Weighted Index (the "Index"), an unmanaged, volatility weighted index created by the Adviser


The Index combines fundamental criteria with individual security risk control achieved through volatility weighting of individual securities. The Index follows a rules-based methodology to construct its constituent securities:


1.  The Index universe begins with all publicly traded foreign companies and then screens for all companies with positive earnings in each of the four most recent quarters.


2.  The Index identifies the 500 largest foreign companies by market capitalization measured at the time the Index's constituent securities are determined.


3.  The remaining 500 stocks are weighted based on their daily standard deviation (volatility) of daily price changes over the last 180 trading days. Stocks with lower volatility receive a higher weighting and stocks with higher volatility receive a lower weighting.


The Index considers foreign companies to be those that are domiciled in a developed country (excluding the U.S. and emerging markets) and whose stock trades on a foreign exchange. Representative developed markets include Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Hong Kong and Australia.


The Index is reconstituted every March and September (based on information as of the prior month-end) and is adjusted to limit exposure to any particular country to 20% and any particular sector to 25%. The Index may include fewer than 500 stocks depending on the number of companies meeting the Index's criteria. As of September 30, 2015, the Index had a market capitalization range from $3.7 billion to $244.9 billion.


The Fund seeks to track the returns of the Index before fees and expenses by employing, under normal circumstances, a "sampling" process to invest in a representative sample of stocks included in the Index. The Fund's portfolio managers select these stocks using a statistical optimization process designed to produce investment characteristics that closely approximate those of the Index.


For purposes of the Fund's investment strategy, "net assets" includes any borrowings for investment purposes.


There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its objective.

Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund

The Fund's investments are subject to the following principal risks:


n  Equity Risk. The value of the equity securities in which the Fund invests may decline in response to developments affecting individual companies and/or general economic conditions. Price changes may be temporary or last for extended periods.


n  Foreign Investment Risk.


n  Foreign Exposure Risk. Special risks associated with investments in foreign markets may include less liquidity, greater volatility, less developed or less efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information, political instability and differing auditing and legal standards.


n  Currency Risk. The Fund's net asset value could decline as a result of changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the US dollar. Additionally, certain foreign countries may impose restrictions on the ability of issuers of foreign securities to make payment of principal and interest to investors located outside the country, due to blockage of foreign currency exchanges or otherwise.


n  Passive Investment Risk. The Fund is not actively managed and does not, therefore, seek returns in excess of the Index. The Adviser will not buy or sell shares of an equity security due to current or projected performance of a security, industry or sector, unless that security is added to or removed, respectively, from the Index.


n  Sampling Risk. The Fund's use of a representative sampling approach, if used, could result in its holding a smaller number of securities than are in the Index. As a result, an adverse development with an issuer of securities held by the Fund could result in a greater decline in NAV that would be the case if the Fund held all of the securities of the Index. To the extent the assets in the Fund are similar, these risks will be greater.


n  Tracking Risks. The Fund's return may not match the return of the Index for a number of reasons, including: the Fund incurs operating expenses not applicable to the Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities; the Fund may not be fully invested at times; differences in the valuation of securities and differences between the Fund's portfolio and the Index resulting from legal restrictions, cost or liquidity constraints.


You may lose money by investing in the Fund. The likelihood of loss may be greater if you invest for a shorter period of time.


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

Performance:

The bar chart and table that follow indicate the risks of investing in the Fund. We assume reinvestment of dividends and distributions.


The table shows how the average annual total returns for Class A, Class C and Class I shares of the Fund, including applicable maximum sales charges, compare to those of the Index and to the MSCI EAFE Index. We calculate after-tax returns using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and we do not reflect the effect of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant if you own your Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. After-tax returns are shown for only one class and after-tax returns for other classes will vary. The Fund's past performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available on the Fund's website at CompassEMPFunds.com.
