[2] Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses ("AFFE") are fees and expenses of investment companies in which the Fund invests which are indirectly incurred by the Fund.
[3] 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 AFFE, and certain other items such as interest, taxes and brokerage commissions) do not exceed 0.71% and 0.46% of the Fund's Class A and Class I shares, respectively. The Advisor 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. From time to time, the Adviser may also voluntarily waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in amounts exceeding those required to be waived or reimbursed under the contractual agreement in place with respect to the Fund.
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 Ultra Short Term Fixed Income Fund - USD ($)
1 Year
3 Years
5 Years
10 Years
Class A 173 363 582 1,213
Class I 48 192 363 859
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 0.0% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets directly in fixed income instruments, which the Fund defines to include domestic and foreign treasury bills and notes, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, corporate debt and other forms of indebtedness, with a remaining maturity of one year or less. The dollar-weighted average fixed income maturity of the Fund is expected to be 12 months or less and the credit quality of such securities to be primarily investment grade (defined as having a rating of BBB- and above). The Fund may invest up to 20% of the fixed income portfolio in lower-quality corporate notes and bonds rated B- or higher, which are commonly referred to as "junk bonds."


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  Fixed Income Risk. The value of the Fund's direct or indirect investments in fixed income securities will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income securities owned by the Fund. On the other hand, if rates fall, the value of the fixed income securities generally increases. The value of fixed income securities typically falls when an issuer's credit quality declines and may even become worthless if an issuer defaults.


n  Foreign Risk. The Fund's net asset value could decline as a result of changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. 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  Junk Bond 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  Management Risk. The Adviser may implement its investment strategy in a way that does not produce the intended result.


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 and Class I shares of the Fund, including applicable maximum sales charges, compare to those of the Citigroup 3-Month Treasury Bill. 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.
