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 (or continue holding your shares in the case of Class C shares). The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. The amounts shown reflect any fee waiver/expense reimbursement in place through its expiration date. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

If you sell your shares at the end of the period

Expense Example - Victory Sophus Emerging Markets Fund - USD ($)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Class A	704	1,031	1,381	2,364
Class C	317	740	1,290	2,790
Class R	161	574	1,014	2,235
Class R6	91	355	639	1,448
Class Y	101	382	683	1,541

If you do not sell your shares at the end of the period

Expense Example No Redemption	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Victory Sophus Emerging Markets Fund | Class C | USD ($)	217	740	1,290	2,790

The example does not reflect sales charges (loads) on reinvested dividends and other distributions. If these sales charges (loads) were included, your costs would be higher.

Portfolio Turnover:

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover will generally indicate higher transaction costs, resulting 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 period, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 96% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategy

The Adviser pursues the Fund's investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets in securities of emerging market companies, which may include common stocks, preferred stocks, or other securities convertible into common stock. The Fund generally defines an emerging market country as one (1) that is included in the MSCI emerging market indices or the MSCI frontier market indices, (2) whose economy or markets are classified by the International Finance Corporation and the World Bank to be emerging or developing, as well as any country classified by the United Nations as developing, or (3) that has economies, industries, and stock markets with similar characteristics. The Fund defines an emerging market company as a company (1) that is organized under the laws of, or has its principal office in, an emerging market country, (2) that derives 50% or more of its revenue from goods produced, services performed, or sales made in emerging market countries, or (3) for which the principal securities market is located in an emerging market country.

The Adviser employs both fundamental analysis and quantitative screening in seeking to identify companies that it believes can sustain above-average earnings growth relative to their peers. Valuation is an integral part of the process. Fundamental, bottom-up research focuses on companies that rank highly within the Adviser's quantitative screen, with particular emphasis placed on a company's earnings growth, business strategy, value creation, competitive position, management quality, market position, and political and economic backdrop. The Adviser monitors market and sovereign risk as part of the overall investment process.

The Adviser regularly reviews the Fund's investments and will sell securities when the Adviser believes the securities are no longer attractive because (1) of a deterioration in rank of the security in accordance with the Adviser’s process, (2) of price appreciation, (3) of a change in the fundamental outlook of the company or (4) other investments available are considered to be more attractive.

The Fund may also invest in foreign issuers through American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), European Depositary Receipts (EDRs), Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs), or similar investment vehicles. The Fund may invest in companies of any size.

As a result of its investment strategy, the Fund may experience annual portfolio turnover in excess of 100%.

Principal Risks

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

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

Stock Market Risk – Overall stock market risks may affect the value of the Fund. Domestic and international factors such as political events, war, trade disputes, interest rate levels and other fiscal and monetary policy changes, pandemics and other public health crises and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fire and floods, may add to instability in world economies and markets generally. The impact of these and other factors may be short-term or may last for extended periods.

Emerging Markets Risk – The risks related to investing in foreign securities are generally greater with respect to securities of companies that conduct their business activities in emerging markets or whose securities are traded principally in emerging markets. The risks of investing in emerging markets include the risks of illiquidity, increased price volatility, smaller market capitalizations, less government regulation, less extensive and less frequent accounting, financial and other reporting requirements, risk of loss resulting from problems in share registration and custody, substantial economic and political disruptions and the nationalization of foreign deposits or assets.

Foreign Securities Risk – Foreign securities (including depositary receipts) are subject to political, regulatory, and economic risks not present in domestic investments. Foreign securities could be affected by factors not present in the U.S., including expropriation, confiscation of property, and difficulties in enforcing contracts. Compared to U.S. companies, there generally is less publicly available information about foreign companies and there may be less governmental regulation and supervision of foreign companies. Foreign securities generally experience more volatility than their domestic counterparts. In addition, to the extent investments are made in a limited number of countries, events in those countries will have a more significant impact on the Fund. Fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies, currency exchange control regulations, and restrictions or prohibitions on the repatriation of foreign currencies may negatively affect an investment.

Smaller Capitalization Stock Risk – Small and mid-sized companies may be subject to a number of risks not associated with larger, more established companies, potentially making their stock prices more volatile and increasing the risk of loss. Smaller companies may have limited markets, product lines, or financial resources and lack management experience and may experience higher failure rates than larger companies.

Large Capitalization Stock Risk – The securities of large cap companies may underperform the securities of smaller cap companies or the market as a whole. The growth rate of larger, more established companies may lag those of smaller companies, especially during periods of economic expansion.

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

Portfolio Turnover Risk – Higher portfolio turnover ratios resulting from additional purchases and sales of portfolio securities will generally result in higher transaction costs and Fund expenses and can lead to distribution of additional short-term capital gains to investors, which are taxed as ordinary income.

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

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

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

Investment Performance

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

Performance data for the classes varies based on differences in their fee and expense structures. 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 VictoryFunds.com.

Performance information for the Fund's Class A, C, R and Y shares prior to July 30, 2016 reflects the historical performance of, respectively, the Class A, C, K and Y shares of the RS Emerging Markets Fund, a series of RS Investment Trust (the predecessor to the Fund managed by RS Investment Management Co. LLC) (the "predecessor fund"). The predecessor fund's investment strategy and investment team changed on March 1, 2013. The Fund's performance has not been restated to reflect any differences in expenses paid by the predecessor fund and those paid by the Fund.

(Applicable sales loads or account fees are not reflected in the bar chart. If these amounts were reflected, returns would be less than those shown.)
