IRA DISTRIBUTION WITHHOLDING DISCLOSURE

We generally must withhold federal income tax at a rate of 10% of the taxable portion of your distribution and, if you live in a state that requires state income tax withholding, at your state's tax rate. However, you may elect not to have withholding apply or to have income tax withheld at a higher rate. Any withholding election that you make will apply to any subsequent distribution unless and until you change or revoke the election. If you wish to make a withholding election, or change or revoke a prior withholding election, call 800-539-3863 (800-235-8396 for Member Class) and form W-4P (OMB No. 1545-0074 withholding certificate for pension or annuity payments) will be electronically sent.

If you do not have a withholding election in place by the date of a distribution, federal income tax will be withheld from the taxable portion of your distribution at a rate of 10%. If you must pay estimated taxes, you may be subject to estimated tax penalties if your estimated tax payments are not sufficient and sufficient tax is not withheld from your distribution.

For more specific information, please consult your tax adviser.

1. Organization:

Victory Portfolios (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and the Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 40 funds and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with a par value of $0.001 per share.

The accompanying financial statements are those of the following five Funds (collectively, the "Funds" and individually, a "Fund"). Each Fund, with the exception of Victory RS Investors Fund and Victory Global Energy Transition Fund, is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.

Each class of shares of a Fund has substantially identical rights and privileges except with respect to sales charges, fees paid under distribution plans, expenses allocable exclusively to each class of shares, voting rights on matters solely affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange privilege of each class of shares.

Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect that risk of loss to be remote.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Funds follow the specialized accounting and reporting requirements under GAAP that are applicable to investment companies under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.

Investment Valuation:

The Funds record investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Funds' investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

• Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities or interest rates applicable to those securities, etc.)

• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds' own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuation techniques are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with entering into those investments.

Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or the "Adviser") has established the Pricing and Liquidity Committee (the "Committee"), and subject to the Trust's Board of Trustees' (the "Board") oversight, the Committee administers and oversees the Funds' valuation policies and procedures, which are approved by the Board.

Portfolio securities listed or traded on securities exchanges, including Exchange-Traded Funds ("ETFs"), and American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), are valued at the closing price on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, if available, or at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price. If there have been no sales for that day on the exchange or system, then a security is valued at the last available bid quotation on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Investments in open-end investment companies, other than ETFs, are valued at their net asset value ("NAV"). These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Debt securities are valued each business day by a pricing service approved by the Board. The approved pricing service uses the evaluated bid or the last sale price to value securities. Debt obligations maturing within 60 days may be valued at amortized cost, provided that the amortized cost represents the fair value of such securities. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

In the event that price quotations or valuations are not readily available, investments are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Board. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, based on the observability of inputs used to determine the fair value. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and the actual price realized from the sale of a security may differ materially from the fair value price. Valuing these securities at fair value is intended to cause the Fund's NAV to be more reliable than it otherwise would be.

In accordance with procedures adopted by the Board, fair value pricing may be used if events materially affecting the value of foreign securities occur between the time the exchange on which they are traded closes and the time a Fund's NAV is calculated. The Funds use a systematic valuation model, provided daily by an independent third party to fair value its international equity securities. The valuations are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

A summary of the valuations as of June 30, 2022, based upon the three levels defined above, is included in the table below while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments:

Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"):

The Funds may invest in REITs, which report information on the source of their distributions annually. REITs are pooled investment vehicles that invest primarily in income-producing real estate or real-estate related loans or interests (such as mortgages). Certain distributions received from REITs during the year are recorded as realized gains or return of capital as estimated by the Funds or when such information becomes known.

Investment Companies:

Open-End Funds:

The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the board of directors of the underlying funds.

Special Purpose Acquisition Companies ("SPAC"):

The Funds may invest in stock, warrants and other securities of special purpose acquisition companies ("SPACs"). A SPAC typically is a publicly traded company that raises funds through an initial public offering ("IPO") for the purpose of acquiring or merging with another company to be identified subsequent to the SPAC's IPO. If a Fund purchases shares of a SPAC in an IPO it generally will bear a sales commission, which may be significant. The securities of a SPAC are often issued in "units" that include one share of common stock and one right or warrant (or partial right or warrant) conveying the right to purchase additional shares or partial shares. Unless and until a transaction is completed, a SPAC generally invests its assets (less a portion retained to cover expenses) in U.S. government securities, money market funds and similar investments whose returns or yields may be significantly


42


Victory Portfolios

  Notes to Financial Statements — continued

  (Unaudited)

lower than those of the Fund's other investments. If an acquisition or merger that meets the requirements for the SPAC is not completed within a pre-established period of time, the invested funds are returned to the SPAC's shareholders, less certain permitted expenses, and any rights or warrants issued by the SPAC will expire worthless.

Private Investments in Public Equities:

The Funds may acquire common stock or a security convertible into common stock, such as a warrant or convertible preferred stock, directly from an issuer seeking to raise capital in a private placement pursuant to Regulation D under the 1933 Act. These transactions are commonly referred to as a private placement in a publicly held company, or "PIPE." The issuer's common stock is usually publicly traded on a U.S. securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market, but the securities acquired will be subject to restrictions on resale imposed by U.S. securities laws absent an effective registration statement. In recognition of the illiquid nature of the securities being acquired, the purchase price paid in a PIPE transaction (or the conversion price of the convertible securities being acquired) will typically be fixed at a discount to the prevailing market price of the issuer's common stock at the time of the transaction. As part of a PIPE transaction, the issuer usually will be contractually obligated to seek to register, within an agreed upon period of time for public resale under the U.S. securities laws, the common stock or the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible securities. PIPE transactions typically involve the purchase of securities directly from a publicly traded company or its affiliates in a private placement transaction, including through a SPAC, typically at a discount to the market price of the issuer's securities. If the issuer fails to so register the shares within that period, the buyer may be entitled to additional consideration from the issuer (e.g., warrants to acquire additional shares of common stock), but the buyer may not be able to sell its shares unless and until the registration process is successfully completed. Thus PIPE transactions present certain risks not associated with open market purchases of equities.

Investment Transactions and Related Income:

Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date or the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis.

Litigation income received during the year is recorded as realized gains by the Funds when such information becomes known. Gains of this type are infrequent to the Funds and are not expected to reoccur on a consistent basis. Class action litigation income received by the RS Investors Fund for the six months ended June 30, 2022, amounted to $332,485 and is reflected on the Statements of Operations within Net realized gains (losses) from investment securities and foreign currency transactions.

Withholding taxes on interest, dividends, and gains as a result of certain investments by the Funds have been provided for in accordance with each investment's applicable country's tax rules and rates.

Securities Lending:

The Funds, through a Securities Lending Agreement with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), may lend their securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers and banks, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. Borrowers are required to initially secure their loans for collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non-U.S. securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls associated with increases in the valuation of the securities loaned are generally cured the next business day. The collateral can be received in the form of cash collateral and/or non-cash collateral. Non-cash collateral can include U.S. Government Securities and other securities as permitted by Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidelines. The cash collateral is invested in short-term instruments or cash equivalents, primarily open-end investment companies, as noted on the Funds' Schedules of Portfolio Investments. The Funds effectively do not have control of the non-cash collateral and therefore it is not

Victory Portfolios

  (Unaudited)

disclosed on the Funds' Schedules of Portfolio Investments. Collateral requirements are determined daily based on the value of the Funds' securities on loan as of the end of the prior business day. During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the Funds any dividends or interest paid on such securities plus any fee negotiated between the parties to the lending agreement. The Funds also earn a return from the collateral. The Funds pay Citibank various fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral and fees based on the investment income received from securities lending activities. Securities lending income (net of these fees) is disclosed on the Statements of Operations. Loans are terminable upon demand and the borrower must return the loaned securities within the lesser of one standard settlement period or five business days. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, a Fund could experience a delay in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them. In addition, there is a risk that the value of the short-term investments will be less than the amount of cash collateral required to be returned to the borrower.

The Funds' agreement with Citibank does not include master netting provisions. Non-cash collateral received by the Funds may not be sold or repledged, except to satisfy borrower default.

The following table is a summary of the Funds' securities lending transactions as of June 30, 2022.

Foreign Currency Translations:

The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities of a Fund denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the date of the transactions. The Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are disclosed as Net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investment securities and foreign currency translations on the Statements of Operations. Any realized gains or losses from these fluctuations are disclosed as Net realized gains (losses) from investment securities and foreign currency transactions on the Statements of Operations.

Federal Income Taxes:

Each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Funds have a tax year end of December 31.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Funds did not incur any income tax, interest, or penalties, and have recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain tax positions.

Management of the Funds has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax years, which includes the current fiscal tax year end). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.

Allocations:

Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund, while expenses that are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust, or jointly with an affiliated trust, are allocated among the respective funds in the Trust and/or an affiliated trust based upon net assets or another appropriate basis.

Income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses such as transfer agent fees, state registration fees, printing fees, and 12b-1 fees), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets on the date income is earned or expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred.

3. Purchases and Sales:

6. Risks:

The Funds may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.

Equity Risk — The value of the equity securities in which the Funds 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.

Private Investments in Public Equities Risk — The risks associated with PIPE transactions that the RS Science and Technology Fund invests is that the issuer may be unable to register the shares for public resale in a timely manner or at all, in which case the shares may be sold only in a privately negotiated transaction, typically at a price less than that paid, assuming a suitable buyer can be found. Disposing of the securities may involve time-consuming negotiation and legal expenses, and selling them promptly at an acceptable price may be difficult or impossible. Even if the shares are registered for public resale, the market for the issuer's securities may nevertheless be "thin" or illiquid, making the sale of securities at desired prices or in desired quantities difficult or impossible. While private placements may offer attractive opportunities not otherwise available in the open market, the securities purchased are usually "restricted securities" or are "not readily marketable." Restricted securities cannot be sold without being registered under the 1933 Act, unless they are sold pursuant to an exemption from registration (such as Rules 144 or 144A under the 1933 Act). Securities that are not readily marketable are subject to other legal or contractual restrictions on resale.

Special Purpose Acquisition Company Risk — An investment in a SPAC is subject to a variety of risks, including that (1) a portion of the monies raised by the SPAC for the purpose of effecting an acquisition or merger may be expended prior to the transaction for payment of taxes and other expenses; (2) the Fund generally will not receive significant income from its investments in SPACs (both prior to and after any acquisition or merger) and, therefore, the Fund's investments in SPACs will not significantly contribute to the Fund's distributions to shareholders; (3) an attractive acquisition or merger target may not be identified at all or a proposed merger or acquisition may be unable to obtain the requisite approval, if any, of SPAC shareholders and/or antitrust and securities regulators; (4) the warrants or other rights with respect to the SPAC held by the Fund may expire worthless or may be redeemed by the SPAC at an unfavorable price; (5) the Fund may be subject to opportunity costs to the extent that alternative investments would have produced higher returns; (6) an acquisition or merger once effected may prove unsuccessful and an investment in the SPAC may lose value; (7) while a SPAC is seeking a transaction target, its stock may be thinly traded and/or illiquid and there can be no assurance that a market will develop, leaving the Fund unable to sell its interest in a SPAC or to sell its interest only at a price below what the Fund believes is the SPAC interest's intrinsic value, (8) an investment in a SPAC may be diluted by additional later offerings of interests in the SPAC or by other investors exercising existing rights to purchase shares of the SPAC; and (9) the values of investments in SPACs may be highly volatile and may depreciate significantly over time. The proceeds of a SPAC IPO that are placed in trust are subject to risks, including the risk of insolvency of the custodian of the funds, fraud by the trustee, interest rate risk and credit and liquidity risk relating to the securities and money market funds in which the proceeds are invested.

Sector Risk — To the extent the Funds focus in one or more sectors, market or economic factors impacting those sectors could have a significant effect on the value of the Funds' investments and could make the Funds' performance more volatile. For example, the values of companies in the Information Technology sector are particularly vulnerable to economic downturns, short product cycles and aggressive pricing, market competition and changes in government regulation.

Concentration Risk — The Global Energy Transition Fund (herein, the Fund) may concentrate its investments in a particular industry, as the term "concentration is used in the 1940 Act. Concentrating investments in the Natural Resources sector increases the risk of loss because the stocks of many or all of the companies in the sector may decline in value due to developments adversely affecting the sector.

  (Unaudited)

In addition, investors may buy or sell substantial amounts of the Fund's shares in response to factors affecting or expected to affect the natural resources sector, resulting in extreme inflows and outflows of cash into and out of the Fund. Such inflows or outflows might affect management of the Fund adversely to the extent they cause the Fund's cash position or cash requirements to exceed normal levels.

Natural Resources Investment Risk — Investment in companies in natural resources industries (including those in the energy sector) can be significantly affected by (often rapid) changes in supply of, or demand for, various natural resources. They may also be affected by changes in energy prices, international political and economic developments, environmental incidents, energy conservation, the success of exploration projects, changes in commodity prices, and tax and other government regulations. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic has drastically reduced the demand for various natural resources and has drastically increased the price volatility of natural resources and companies within the natural resources industry. An extended period of reduced (or negative) prices may significantly lengthen the time that companies within the natural resources industries would need to recover after a stabilization of prices. Investments in interests in gas or mineral exploration or development programs, including pipelines, may be held through master limited partnerships, which are generally subject to many of the risks that apply to partnerships and may also be subject to certain tax risks.

Market Risk — Overall market risks may affect the value of the Fund. Domestic and international factors such as political events, war, terrorism, trade disputes, inflation rates, interest rate levels and other fiscal and monetary policy changes, cybersecurity incidents, pandemics and other public health crises, sanctions against a particular foreign country, its nationals, businesses or industries and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods or other catastrophes, may add to instability in global economies and markets generally, and may lead to increased market volatility. Global economies and financial markets are highly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region might adversely affect issuers in another country or region. The impact of these and other factors may be short-term or may last for extended periods.

7. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:

Line of Credit:

The Victory Funds Complex participates in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 27, 2022, with a termination date of June 26, 2023. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex may borrow up to $600 million, of which $300 million is committed and $300 million is uncommitted. $40 million of the Line of Credit is reserved for use by the Victory Floating Rate Fund, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with Victory Floating Rate Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, Citibank received an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $300 million for providing the Line of Credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex paid a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest on amounts borrowed. For the period from January 1, 2022, through June 27, 2022, interest was based on the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus one percent. Effective with the renewal, for the period June 28, 2022, through June 30, 2022, interest was based on the one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 1.10 percent. Interest charged to each fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statements of Operations under Line of credit fees.

The Funds had no borrowings under the Line of Credit agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Interfund Lending:

The Trust and the Adviser rely on an exemptive order granted by the SEC in March 2017 (the "Order"), permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the "Facility"). The Facility allows each Fund to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other fund in the Victory Funds Complex that is permitted to participate in the Facility, relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are allowed for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund's borrowing restrictions. The interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. As a Borrower, interest charged to each Fund, if any, during the period, is reflected on the Statements of Operations under Interfund lending fees. As a Lender, interest earned by each Fund, if any, during the period, is reflected on the Statements of Operations under Interfund lending.

The Funds did not utilize or participate in the Facility during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

8. Federal Income Tax Information:

Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid as noted in the table below. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually from each Fund.

The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively, distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Funds may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (loss) will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending December 31, 2022.

As of tax year ended December 31, 2021, the Funds had net capital loss carryforwards as shown in the table below. It is unlikely that the Board will authorize a distribution of capital gains realized in the future until the capital loss carryforwards have been used.

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information

Proxy Voting:

Information regarding the policies and procedures each Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling 800-539-3863. The information is also included in the Funds' Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Information relating to how the Funds voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent 12 months ended June 30 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments:

The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. Forms N-PORT are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Expense Examples

As a shareholder of a Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2022, through June 30, 2022.

The Actual Expense figures in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

The Hypothetical Expense figures in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note the expenses shown in the table below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the hypothetical expenses in the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Liquidity Risk Management Program:

The Victory Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the "LRMP") as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration each Fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions; its short- and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other liquidity management tools such as available funding sources including the Victory Funds Complex Interfund Lending Facility and Line of Credit (discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements). The Victory Funds' Board of Trustees approved the appointment of the Funds' investment adviser, Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital"), as the administrator of the LRMP.

Victory Capital manages liquidity risks associated with the Funds' investments by monitoring, among other things, cash and cash equivalents, any use of derivatives, the concentration of investments, the appropriateness of each Fund's investment strategy, and by classifying every Fund investment as either highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid, or illiquid on at least a monthly basis. To assist with the classification of Fund investments, Victory Capital has retained a third-party provider of liquidity evaluation services. This provider determines preliminary liquidity classifications for all portfolio holdings based upon portfolio-level data and certain assumptions provided by Victory Capital. Victory Capital reviews the preliminary liquidity classifications and, when appropriate, considers other information including input from the Funds' portfolio managers (including the portfolio managers employed by any investment sub-advisers) in determining final liquidity classifications.

At a meeting held on February 24, 2022, Victory Capital provided an oral and written report to the Trustees on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP during the previous year. The report from Victory Capital concluded that the Funds did not experience any significant liquidity challenges during the covered period, and the Funds' LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage its liquidity risk. The report also concluded that the LRMP continues to operate adequately and effectively to enable Victory Capital to oversee and manage liquidity risk and ensure each Fund is able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution to the remaining investors' interest in each Fund. During the review period, each Fund's portfolio consisted primarily of highly liquid investments, which are defined as cash and any investments that each Fund reasonably expects to be converted to cash in current market conditions in three business days or less without significantly changing the market value of the investment. Therefore, the Funds have not adopted a highly liquid investment minimum. The Funds' investments were below the limitation on illiquid investments during the review period. Additionally, Victory Capital indicated that no events occurred that would require the filing of Form N-LIQUID and recommended no material changes to the LRMP.

IRA DISTRIBUTION WITHHOLDING DISCLOSURE

We generally must withhold federal income tax at a rate of 10% of the taxable portion of your distribution and, if you live in a state that requires state income tax withholding, at your state's tax rate. However, you may elect not to have withholding apply or to have income tax withheld at a higher rate. Any withholding election that you make will apply to any subsequent distribution unless and until you change or revoke the election. If you wish to make a withholding election, or change or revoke a prior withholding election, call 800-539-3863 (800-235-8396 for Member Class) and form W-4P (OMB No. 1545-0074 withholding certificate for pension or annuity payments) will be electronically sent.

If you do not have a withholding election in place by the date of a distribution, federal income tax will be withheld from the taxable portion of your distribution at a rate of 10%. If you must pay estimated taxes, you may be subject to estimated tax penalties if your estimated tax payments are not sufficient and sufficient tax is not withheld from your distribution.

For more specific information, please consult your tax adviser.

1. Organization:

Victory Portfolios (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and the Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 40 funds and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with a par value of $0.001 per share.

The accompanying financial statements are those of the following six Funds (collectively, the "Funds" and individually, a "Fund"). Each Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.

   Member Class
 

Each class of shares of a Fund has substantially identical rights and privileges except with respect to sales charges, fees paid under distribution plans, expenses allocable exclusively to each class of shares, voting rights on matters solely affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange privilege of each class of shares.

Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect that risk of loss to be remote.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Funds follow the specialized accounting and reporting requirements under GAAP that are applicable to investment companies under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.

Investment Valuation:

The Funds record investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Funds' investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

• Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities or interest rates applicable to those securities, etc.)

• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds' own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuation techniques are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with entering into those investments.

Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or the "Adviser") has established the Pricing and Liquidity Committee (the "Committee"), and subject to the Trust's Board of Trustees' (the "Board") oversight, the Committee administers and oversees the Funds' valuation policies and procedures, which are approved by the Board.

Portfolio securities listed or traded on securities exchanges, including Exchange-Traded Funds ("ETFs"), and American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), are valued at the closing price on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, if available, or at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price. If there have been no sales for that day on the exchange or system, then a security is valued at the last available bid quotation on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Investments in open-end investment companies, other than ETFs, are valued at their net asset value ("NAV"). These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

In the event that price quotations or valuations are not readily available, investments are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Board. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, based on the observability of inputs used to determine the fair value. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and the actual price realized from the sale of a security may differ materially from the fair value price. Valuing these securities at fair value is intended to cause the Fund's NAV to be more reliable than it otherwise would be.

A summary of the valuations as of June 30, 2022, based upon the three levels defined above, is included in the table below while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments:

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"):

The Funds may invest in REITs, which report information on the source of their distributions annually. REITs are pooled investment vehicles that invest primarily in income-producing real estate or real-estate related loans or interests (such as mortgages). Certain distributions received from REITs during the year are recorded as realized gains or return of capital as estimated by the Funds or when such information becomes known.

Investment Companies:

Open-End Funds:

The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the board of directors of the underlying funds.

Investment Transactions and Related Income:

Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date or the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis.

Securities Lending:

The Funds, through a Securities Lending Agreement with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), may lend their securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers and banks, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. Borrowers are required to initially secure their loans for collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non-U.S. securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls associated with increases in the valuation of the securities loaned are generally cured the next business day. The collateral can be received in the form of cash collateral and/or non-cash collateral. Non-cash collateral can include U.S. Government Securities and other securities as permitted by Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidelines. The cash collateral is invested in short-term instruments or cash equivalents, primarily open-end investment companies, as noted on the Funds' Schedules of Portfolio Investments. The Funds effectively do not have control of the non-cash collateral and therefore it is not disclosed on the Funds' Schedules of Portfolio Investments. Collateral requirements are determined daily based on the value of the Funds' securities on loan as of the end of the prior business day. During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the Funds any dividends or interest paid on such securities plus any fee negotiated between the parties to the lending agreement. The Funds also earn a return from the collateral. The Funds pay Citibank various fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral and fees based on the investment income received from securities lending activities. Securities lending income (net of these fees) is disclosed on the Statements of Operations. Loans are terminable upon demand and the borrower must return the loaned securities within the lesser of one standard settlement period or five business days. Although risk is mitigated by

  (Unaudited)

the collateral, a Fund could experience a delay in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them. In addition, there is a risk that the value of the short-term investments will be less than the amount of cash collateral required to be returned to the borrower.

The Funds' agreement with Citibank does not include master netting provisions. Non-cash collateral received by the Funds may not be sold or repledged, except to satisfy borrower default.

The following table is a summary of the Funds' securities lending transactions as of June 30, 2022.

Federal Income Taxes:

Each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Funds have a tax year end of December 31.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Funds did not incur any income tax, interest, or penalties, and have recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain tax positions.

Management of the Funds has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax years, which includes the current fiscal tax year end). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.

Allocations:

Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund, while expenses that are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust, or jointly with an affiliated trust, are allocated among the respective funds in the Trust and/or an affiliated trust based upon net assets or another appropriate basis.

Income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses such as transfer agent fees, state registration fees, printing fees, and 12b-1 fees), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets on the date income is earned or expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred.

3. Purchases and Sales:

The Adviser may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Funds in maintaining competitive expense ratios. These waivers are not available for recoupment and are reflected on the Statements of Operations as Expenses waived/reimbursed by Adviser. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Certain officers and/or interested trustees of the Funds are also officers and/or employees of the Adviser, administrator, fund accountant, sub-administrator, sub-fund accountant, custodian, legal counsel, and Distributor.

5. Risks:

The Funds may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.

Equity Risk — The value of the equity securities in which the Funds 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.

Market Risk — Overall market risks may affect the value of the Fund. Domestic and international factors such as political events, war, terrorism, trade disputes, inflation rates, interest rate levels and other fiscal and monetary policy changes, cybersecurity incidents, pandemics and other public health crises, sanctions against a particular foreign country, its nationals, businesses or industries and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods or other catastrophes, may add to instability in global economies and markets generally, and may lead to increased market volatility. Global economies and financial markets are highly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region might adversely affect issuers in another country or region. The impact of these and other factors may be short-term or may last for extended periods.

Sector Risk — To the extent the Funds focus in one or more sectors, market or economic factors impacting those sectors could have a significant effect on the value of the Funds' investments and could make the Funds' performance more volatile. For example, the values of companies in the Information Technology sector are particularly vulnerable to economic downturns, short product cycles and aggressive pricing, market competition and changes in government regulation.

  (Unaudited)

Concentration Risk — The RS Science and Technology Fund, RS Small Cap Growth Fund, RS Small Cap Equity Fund, RS Select Growth Fund, RS Mid Cap Growth Fund and RS Growth Fund may concentrate its investments in a particular industry, as the term "concentration" is used in the 1940 Act. Concentrating investments in the Natural Resources sector increases the risk of loss because the stocks of many or all of the companies in the sector may decline in value due to developments adversely affecting the sector. In addition, investors may buy or sell substantial amounts of the Fund's shares in response to factors affecting or expected to affect the natural resources sector, resulting in extreme inflows and outflows of cash into and out of the Fund. Such inflows or outflows might affect management of the Fund adversely to the extent they cause the Fund's cash position or cash requirements to exceed normal levels.

Smaller-Capitalization Stock Risk — Small- and mid-sized capitalization companies are 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.

6. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:

Line of Credit:

The Victory Funds Complex participates in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 27, 2022, with a termination date of June 26, 2023. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex may borrow up to $600 million, of which $300 million is committed and $300 million is uncommitted. $40 million of the Line of Credit is reserved for use by the Victory Floating Rate Fund, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with Victory Floating Rate Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, Citibank received an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $300 million for providing the Line of Credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex paid a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest on amounts borrowed. For the period from January 1, 2022, through June 27, 2022, interest was based on the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus one percent. Effective with the renewal, for the period June 28, 2022, through June 30, 2022, interest was based on the one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 1.10 percent. Interest charged to each fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statements of Operations under Line of credit fees.

The Funds had no borrowings under the Line of Credit agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Interfund Lending:

The Trust and the Adviser rely on an exemptive order granted by the SEC in March 2017 (the "Order"), permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the "Facility"). The Facility allows each Fund to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other fund in the Victory Funds Complex that is permitted to participate in the Facility, relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are allowed for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund's borrowing restrictions. The interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. As a Borrower, interest charged to each Fund, if any, during the period, is reflected on the Statements of Operations under Interfund lending fees. As a Lender, interest earned by each Fund, if any, during the period, is reflected on the Statements of Operations under Interfund lending.

The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively, distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Funds may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (loss) will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending December 31, 2022.

As of the tax year ended December 31, 2021, the Funds had no capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.

Expense Examples

As a shareholder of a Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2022, through June 30, 2022.

The Actual Expense figures in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

The Hypothetical Expense figures in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note the expenses shown in the table below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the hypothetical expenses in the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Liquidity Risk Management Program:

The Victory Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the "LRMP") as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration each Fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions; its short- and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other liquidity management tools such as available funding sources including the Victory Funds Complex Interfund Lending Facility and Line of Credit (discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements). The Victory Funds' Board of Trustees approved the appointment of the Funds' investment adviser, Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital"), as the administrator of the LRMP.

Victory Capital manages liquidity risks associated with the Funds' investments by monitoring, among other things, cash and cash equivalents, any use of derivatives, the concentration of investments, the appropriateness of each Fund's investment strategy, and by classifying every Fund investment as either highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid, or illiquid on at least a monthly basis. To assist with the classification of Fund investments, Victory Capital has retained a third-party provider of liquidity evaluation services. This provider determines preliminary liquidity classifications for all portfolio holdings based upon portfolio-level data and certain assumptions provided by Victory Capital. Victory Capital reviews the preliminary liquidity classifications and, when appropriate, considers other information including input from the Funds' portfolio managers (including the portfolio managers employed by any investment sub-advisers) in determining final liquidity classifications.

At a meeting held on February 24, 2022, Victory Capital provided an oral and written report to the Trustees on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP during the previous year. The report from Victory Capital concluded that the Funds did not experience any significant liquidity challenges during the covered period, and the Funds' LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage its liquidity risk. The report also concluded that the LRMP continues to operate adequately and effectively to enable Victory Capital to oversee and manage liquidity risk and ensure each Fund is able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution to the remaining investors' interest in each Fund. During the review period, each Fund's portfolio consisted primarily of highly liquid investments, which are defined as cash and any investments that each Fund reasonably expects to be converted to cash in current market conditions in three business days or less without significantly changing the market value of the investment. Therefore, the Funds have not adopted a highly liquid investment minimum. The Funds' investments were below the limitation on illiquid investments during the review period. Additionally, Victory Capital indicated that no events occurred that would require the filing of Form N-LIQUID and recommended no material changes to the LRMP.

Victory Portfolios

  Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2022
 

  (Unaudited)

1. Organization:

Victory Portfolios (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and the Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 40 funds and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with a par value of $0.001 per share.

The accompanying financial statements are those of the following three Funds (collectively, the "Funds" and individually, a "Fund"). Each Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.

Each class of shares of a Fund has substantially identical rights and privileges except with respect to sales charges, fees paid under distribution plans, expenses allocable exclusively to each class of shares, voting rights on matters solely affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange privilege of each class of shares.

Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect that risk of loss to be remote.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Funds follow the specialized accounting and reporting requirements under GAAP that are applicable to investment companies under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.

Investment Valuation:

The Funds record investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Funds' investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

• Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities or interest rates applicable to those securities, etc.)

• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds' own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuation techniques are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with entering into those investments.

Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or the "Adviser") has established the Pricing and Liquidity Committee (the "Committee"), and subject to the Trust's Board of Trustees' (the "Board") oversight, the Committee administers and oversees the Funds' valuation policies and procedures, which are approved by the Board.

Portfolio securities listed or traded on securities exchanges, including Exchange-Traded Funds ("ETFs"), and American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), are valued at the closing price on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, if available, or at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price. If there have been no sales for that day on the exchange or system, then a security is valued at the last available bid quotation on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Investments in open-end investment companies, other than ETFs, are valued at their net asset value ("NAV"). These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

In the event that price quotations or valuations are not readily available, investments are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Board. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, based on the observability of inputs used to determine the fair value. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and the actual price realized from the sale of a security may differ materially from the fair value price. Valuing these securities at fair value is intended to cause the Fund's NAV to be more reliable than it otherwise would be.

In accordance with procedures adopted by the Board, fair value pricing may be used if events materially affecting the value of foreign securities occur between the time the exchange on which they are traded closes and the time a Fund's NAV is calculated. The Funds use a systematic valuation model, provided daily by an independent third party to fair value its international equity securities. The valuations are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

A summary of the valuations as of June 30, 2022, based upon the three levels defined above, is included in the table below while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments:

the change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on these investments was $(22,331,209). These securities were impacted by the invasion of Ukraine and sanctions on market conditions in Russia. From the start of the conflict in Ukraine until June 30, 2022, Russian-held investments were valued at an approximately 99 percent discount from their last traded prices.

Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"):

The Funds may invest in REITs, which report information on the source of their distributions annually. REITs are pooled investment vehicles that invest primarily in income-producing real estate or real-estate related loans or interests (such as mortgages). Certain distributions received from REITs during the year are recorded as realized gains or return of capital as estimated by the Funds or when such information becomes known.

Investment Companies:

Exchange-Traded Funds:

The Funds may invest in ETFs, the shares of which are bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and represents a fixed portfolio of securities often designed to track the performance and dividend yield of a particular domestic or foreign market index. The Funds may purchase shares of an ETF to temporarily gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market while awaiting purchase of underlying securities. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track, although the lack of liquidity of an ETF could result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.

Open-End Funds:

The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the board of directors of the underlying funds.

Foreign Exchange Currency Contracts:

Certain Funds may enter into foreign exchange currency contracts to convert U.S. dollars to and from various foreign currencies. A foreign exchange currency contract is an obligation by a Fund to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date at a price (in U.S. dollars) set at the time of the contract. The Funds do not engage in "cross-currency" foreign exchange contracts (i.e., contracts to purchase or sell one foreign currency in exchange for another foreign currency). The Funds' foreign exchange currency contracts might be considered spot contracts (typically a contract of one week or less) or forward contracts (typically a contract term over one week). A spot contract is entered into for purposes of hedging against foreign currency fluctuations relating to a specific portfolio transaction, such as the delay between a security transaction trade date and settlement date. Forward contracts are entered into for purposes of hedging portfolio holdings or concentrations of such holdings. The Funds enter into foreign exchange currency contracts solely for spot or forward hedging purposes, and not for speculative purposes (i.e., the Funds do not enter into such contracts solely for the purpose of earning foreign currency gains). Each foreign exchange currency contract is adjusted daily by the prevailing spot or forward rate of the underlying currency, and any appreciation or depreciation is recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the contract settlement date, at which time the Funds record realized gains or losses equal to the difference between the value of a contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The Funds could be exposed to risk if a counterparty is unable to meet the terms of a foreign exchange currency contract or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. In addition, the use of foreign exchange currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Funds had no open forward foreign exchange currency contracts.

Investment Transactions and Related Income:

Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date or the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis.

Withholding taxes on interest, dividends, and gains as a result of certain investments by the Funds have been provided for in accordance with each investment's applicable country's tax rules and rates.

Securities Lending:

The Funds, through a Securities Lending Agreement with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), may lend their securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers and banks, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. Borrowers are required to initially secure their loans for collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non-U.S. securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls associated with increases in the valuation of the securities loaned are generally cured the next business day. The collateral can be received in the form of cash collateral and/or non-cash collateral. Non-cash collateral can include U.S. Government Securities and other securities as permitted by Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidelines. The cash collateral is invested in short-term instruments or cash equivalents, primarily open-end investment companies, as noted on the Funds' Schedules of Portfolio Investments. The Funds effectively do not have control of the non-cash collateral and therefore it is not disclosed on the Funds' Schedules of Portfolio Investments. Collateral requirements are determined daily based on the value of the Funds' securities on loan as of the end of the prior business day. During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the Funds any dividends or interest paid on such securities plus any fee negotiated between the parties to the lending agreement. The Funds also earn a return from the collateral. The Funds pay Citibank various fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral and fees based on the investment income received from securities lending activities. Securities lending income (net of these fees) is disclosed on the Statements of Operations. Loans are terminable upon demand and the borrower must return the loaned securities within the lesser of one standard settlement period or five business days. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, a Fund could experience a delay in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them. In addition, there is a risk that the value of the short-term investments will be less than the amount of cash collateral required to be returned to the borrower.

The Funds' agreement with Citibank does not include master netting provisions. Non-cash collateral received by the Funds may not be sold or repledged, except to satisfy borrower default.

The following table is a summary of the Funds' securities lending transactions as of June 30, 2022.

Foreign Currency Translations:

The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities of a Fund denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the date of the transactions. The Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on

investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are disclosed as Net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investment securities and foreign currency translations on the Statements of Operations. Any realized gains or losses from these fluctuations are disclosed as Net realized gains (losses) from investment securities and foreign currency transactions on the Statements of Operations.

Foreign Taxes:

The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes related to foreign income received (a portion of which may be reclaimable), capital gains on the sale of securities, and certain foreign currency transactions. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest.

Federal Income Taxes:

Each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Funds have a tax year end of December 31.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Funds did not incur any income tax, interest, or penalties, and have recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain tax positions.

Management of the Funds has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax years, which includes the current fiscal tax year end). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.

Allocations:

Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund, while expenses that are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust, or jointly with an affiliated trust, are allocated among the respective funds in the Trust and/or an affiliated trust based upon net assets or another appropriate basis.

Income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses such as transfer agent fees, state registration fees, printing fees, and 12b-1 fees), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets on the date income is earned or expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred.

3. Purchases and Sales:

Under the terms of the expense limitation agreements, as amended May 1, 2022, the Funds have agreed to repay fees and expenses that were waived or reimbursed by the Adviser for a period of up to three years (thirty-six (36) months) after the waiver or reimbursement took place, 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.

As of June 30, 2022, the following amounts are available to be repaid to the Adviser. The Funds have not recorded any amounts available to be repaid as a liability due to an assessment that such repayments are not probable at June 30, 2022.

The Adviser may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Fund in maintaining competitive expense ratios. Voluntary waivers and reimbursements applicable to the Fund is not available to be recouped at a future time. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Certain officers and/or interested trustees of the Funds are also officers and/or employees of the Adviser, administrator, fund accountant, sub-administrator, sub-fund accountant, custodian, legal counsel, and Distributor.

6. Risks:

The Funds may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.

Equity Risk — The value of the equity securities in which the Funds 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.

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.

  (Unaudited)

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.

Market Risk — Overall market risks may affect the value of the Fund. Domestic and international factors such as political events, war, terrorism, trade disputes, inflation rates, interest rate levels and other fiscal and monetary policy changes, cybersecurity incidents, pandemics and other public health crises, sanctions against a particular foreign country, its nationals, businesses or industries and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods or other catastrophes, may add to instability in global economies and markets generally, and may lead to increased market volatility. Global economies and financial markets are highly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region might adversely affect issuers in another country or region. The impact of these and other factors may be short-term or may last for extended periods.

7. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:

Line of Credit:

The Victory Funds Complex participates in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 27, 2022, with a termination date of June 26, 2023. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex may borrow up to $600 million, of which $300 million is committed and $300 million is uncommitted. $40 million of the Line of Credit is reserved for use by the Victory Floating Rate Fund, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with Victory Floating Rate Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, Citibank received an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $300 million for providing the Line of Credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex paid a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest on amounts borrowed. For the period from January 1, 2022, through June 27, 2022, interest was based on the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus one percent. Effective with the renewal, for the period June 28, 2022, through June 30, 2022, interest was based on the one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 1.10 percent. Interest charged to each fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statements of Operations under Line of credit fees.

The Funds had no borrowings under the Line of Credit agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Interfund Lending:

The Trust and the Adviser rely on an exemptive order granted by the SEC in March 2017 (the "Order"), permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the "Facility"). The Facility allows each Fund to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other fund in the Victory Funds Complex that is permitted to participate in the Facility, relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are allowed for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund's borrowing restrictions. The interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. As a Borrower, interest charged to each Fund, if any, during the period, is reflected on the Statements of Operations under Interfund lending fees. As a Lender, interest earned by each Fund, if any, during the period, is reflected on the Statements of Operations under Interfund lending.

8. Federal Income Tax Information:

Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid as noted in the table below. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually from each Fund.

The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively, distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Funds may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (loss) will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending December 31, 2022.

At the tax year ended December 31, 2021, the Funds had no capital loss carryforward for federal income tax purposes.

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information

Proxy Voting:

Information regarding the policies and procedures each Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling 800-539-3863. The information is also included in the Funds' Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Information relating to how the Funds voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent 12 months ended June 30 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments:

The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. Forms N-PORT are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Expense Examples

As a shareholder of a Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2022, through June 30, 2022.

The Actual Expense figures in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

The Hypothetical Expense figures in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note the expenses shown in the table below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the hypothetical expenses in the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Liquidity Risk Management Program:

The Victory Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the "LRMP") as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration each Fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions; its short- and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other liquidity management tools such as available funding sources including the Victory Funds Complex Interfund Lending Facility and Line of Credit (discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements). The Victory Funds' Board of Trustees approved the appointment of the Funds' investment adviser, Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital"), as the administrator of the LRMP.

Victory Capital manages liquidity risks associated with the Funds' investments by monitoring, among other things, cash and cash equivalents, any use of derivatives, the concentration of investments, the appropriateness of each Fund's investment strategy, and by classifying every Fund investment as either highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid, or illiquid on at least a monthly basis. To assist with the classification of Fund investments, Victory Capital has retained a third-party provider of liquidity evaluation services. This provider determines preliminary liquidity classifications for all portfolio holdings based upon portfolio-level data and certain assumptions provided by Victory Capital. Victory Capital reviews the preliminary liquidity classifications and, when appropriate, considers other information including input from the Funds' portfolio managers (including the portfolio managers employed by any investment sub-advisers) in determining final liquidity classifications.

At a meeting held on February 24, 2022, Victory Capital provided an oral and written report to the Trustees on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP during the previous year. The report from Victory Capital concluded that the Funds did not experience any significant liquidity challenges during the covered period, and the Funds' LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage its liquidity risk. The report also concluded that the LRMP continues to operate adequately and effectively to enable Victory Capital to oversee and manage liquidity risk and ensure each Fund is able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution to the remaining investors' interest in each Fund. During the review period, each Fund's portfolio consisted primarily of highly liquid investments, which are defined as cash and any investments that each Fund reasonably expects to be converted to cash in current market conditions in three business days or less without significantly changing the market value of the investment. Therefore, the Funds have not adopted a highly liquid investment minimum. The Funds' investments were below the limitation on illiquid investments during the review period. Additionally, Victory Capital indicated that no events occurred that would require the filing of Form N-LIQUID and recommended no material changes to the LRMP.

IRA DISTRIBUTION WITHHOLDING DISCLOSURE

We generally must withhold federal income tax at a rate of 10% of the taxable portion of your distribution and, if you live in a state that requires state income tax withholding, at your state's tax rate. However, you may elect not to have withholding apply or to have income tax withheld at a higher rate. Any withholding election that you make will apply to any subsequent distribution unless and until you change or revoke the election. If you wish to make a withholding election, or change or revoke a prior withholding election, call 800-539-3863 (800-235-8396 for Member Class) and form W-4P (OMB No. 1545-0074 withholding certificate for pension or annuity payments) will be electronically sent.

If you do not have a withholding election in place by the date of a distribution, federal income tax will be withheld from the taxable portion of your distribution at a rate of 10%. If you must pay estimated taxes, you may be subject to estimated tax penalties if your estimated tax payments are not sufficient and sufficient tax is not withheld from your distribution.

For more specific information, please consult your tax adviser.

(a)  When a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of the swap agreement, the Fund as a seller of credit protection will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the par value of the defaulted reference entity or (ii) pay a net amount equal to the par value of the defaulted reference entity less its recovery value.

(b)  Implied credit spread, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the value of the credit default swap agreements as of period end will serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Generally, wider credit spreads represent a perceived deterioration of the referenced entity's credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the swap agreement.

(c)  The notional amount represents the maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection if a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of the swap agreement, for each security included in the CDX North America High Yield Index.

1. Organization:

Victory Portfolios (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and the Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 40 funds and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with a par value of $0.001 per share.

The accompanying financial statements are those of the following seven Funds (collectively, the "Funds" and individually, a "Fund"). Each Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.

Each class of shares of a Fund has substantially identical rights and privileges except with respect to sales charges, fees paid under distribution plans, expenses allocable exclusively to each class of shares, voting rights on matters solely affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange privilege of each class of shares.

Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect that risk of loss to be remote.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Funds follow the specialized accounting and reporting requirements under GAAP that are applicable to investment companies under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.

Investment Valuation:

The Funds record investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Funds' investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

• Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities or interest rates applicable to those securities, etc.)

• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds' own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuation techniques are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with entering into those investments.

Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or the "Adviser") has established the Pricing and Liquidity Committee (the "Committee"), and subject to the Trust's Board of Trustees' (the "Board") oversight, the Committee administers and oversees the Funds' valuation policies and procedures, which are approved by the Board.

Portfolio securities listed or traded on securities exchanges, including Exchange-Traded Funds ("ETFs"), are valued at the closing price on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, if available, or at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price. If there have been no sales for that day on the exchange or system, then a security is valued at the last available bid quotation on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Investments in open-end investment companies, other than ETFs, are valued at their net asset value ("NAV"). These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Debt securities are valued each business day by a pricing service approved by the Board. The approved pricing service uses the evaluated bid or the last sale price to value securities. Debt obligations maturing within 60 days may be valued at amortized cost, provided that the amortized cost represents the fair value of such securities. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or an exchange on which they are traded. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Swap agreements are valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices. To the extent this model is utilized, these valuations are considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

In the event that price quotations or valuations are not readily available, investments are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Board. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, based on the observability of inputs used to determine the fair value. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and the actual price realized from the sale of a security may differ materially from the fair value price. Valuing these securities at fair value is intended to cause the Fund's NAV to be more reliable than it otherwise would be.

*  Futures contracts and credit default swaps are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the investment.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"):

The Funds may invest in REITs, which report information on the source of their distributions annually. REITs are pooled investment vehicles that invest primarily in income-producing real estate or real-estate related loans or interests (such as mortgages). Certain distributions received from REITs during the year are recorded as realized gains or return of capital as estimated by the Funds or when such information becomes known.

Investment Companies:

Exchange-Traded Funds:

The Funds may invest in ETFs, the shares of which are bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and represents a fixed portfolio of securities often designed to track the performance and dividend yield of a particular domestic or foreign market index. The Funds may purchase shares of an ETF to temporarily gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market while awaiting purchase of underlying securities. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track, although the lack of liquidity of an ETF could result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.

Open-End Funds:

The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the board of directors of the underlying funds.

Securities Purchased on a Delayed-Delivery or When-Issued Basis:

The Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued basis. When-issued securities are securities purchased for delivery beyond normal settlement periods at a stated price and/or yield, thereby involving the risk that the price and/or yield obtained may be more or less than those available in the market when delivery takes place. At the time a Fund makes the commitment to purchase a security on a


79


Victory Portfolios

  Notes to Financial Statements — continued
June 30, 2022
 

  (Unaudited)

when-issued basis, the Fund records the transaction and reflects the value of the security in determining net asset value. No interest accrues to the Fund until the transaction settles and payment takes place. Normally, the settlement date occurs within one month of the purchase. A segregated account is established and the Fund maintains cash and/or marketable securities at least equal in value to commitments for when-issued securities. If a Fund owns when-issued securities, these values are included in Payable for investments purchased on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the segregated assets are identified on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments.

Municipal Obligations:

The values of municipal obligations can fluctuate and may be affected by adverse tax, legislative, or political changes, and by financial developments affecting municipal issuers. Payment of municipal obligations may depend on a relatively limited source of revenue, resulting in greater credit risk. Future changes in federal tax laws or the activity of an issuer may adversely affect the tax-exempt status of municipal obligations.

Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities:

The values of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Fund to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The values of mortgage- and asset-backed securities depend in part on the credit quality and adequacy of the underlying assets or collateral and may fluctuate in response to the market's perception of these factors as well as current and future repayment rates. Some mortgage-backed securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government (e.g., mortgage-backed securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association, commonly known as "Ginnie Mae"), while other mortgage-backed securities (e.g., mortgage-backed securities issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, commonly known as "Fannie Mae" and "Freddie Mac," respectively), are backed only by the credit of the government entity issuing them. In addition, some mortgage-backed securities are issued by private entities and, as such, are not guaranteed by the U.S. government or any agency or instrumentality of the U.S. government.

Loans:

Floating rate loans in which certain Funds invest are primarily "senior" loans. Senior floating rate loans typically hold a senior position in the capital structures of the borrower, are typically secured by specific collateral, and have a claim on the assets and/or stock of the borrower that is senior to that held by subordinated debtholders and stockholders of the borrower. While these protections may reduce risk, these investments still present significant credit risk. A significant portion of a Fund's floating rate investments may be issued in connection with highly leveraged transactions such as leveraged buyouts, leveraged recapitalization loans, and other types of acquisition financing. Obligations in these types of transactions are subject to greater credit risk (including default and bankruptcy) than many other investments and may be, or become, illiquid. See the note below regarding below-investment-grade securities.

The Funds may purchase second-lien loans (secured loans with a claim on collateral subordinate to a senior lender's claim on such collateral), fixed rate loans, unsecured loans, and other debt obligations.

Transactions in loans often settle on a delayed basis, and a Fund may not receive the proceeds from the sale of a loan or pay for a loan purchase for a substantial period of time after entering into the transactions.

Below-Investment-Grade Securities:

Certain Funds may invest in below-investment-grade securities (i.e., lower-quality, "junk" debt), which are subject to various risks. Lower-quality debt is considered to be speculative because it is less certain that the issuer will be able to pay interest or repay the principal than in the case of investment-grade debt. These securities can involve a substantially greater risk of default than higher-rated securities, and their values can decline significantly over short periods of time. Lower-quality debt securities tend

to be more sensitive to adverse news about their issuers, the market and the economy in general, than higher-quality debt securities. The market for these securities can be less liquid, especially during periods of recession or general market decline.

Derivative Instruments:

Futures Contracts:

The Funds may enter into contracts for the future delivery of securities or foreign currencies and futures contracts based on a specific security, class of securities, foreign currency or an index, and purchase or sell options on any such futures contracts. A futures contract on a securities index is an agreement obligating either party to pay, and entitling the other party to receive, while the contract is outstanding, cash payments based on the level of a specified securities index. No physical delivery of the underlying asset is made. The Funds may enter into futures contracts in an effort to hedge against market risks. The acquisition of put and call options on futures contracts will give the Funds the right (but not the obligation), for a specified price, to sell or to purchase the underlying futures contract, upon exercise of the option, at any time during the option period. Futures transactions involve brokerage costs and require the Funds to segregate assets to cover contracts that would require it to purchase securities or currencies. A good faith margin deposit, known as initial margin, of cash or government securities with a broker or custodian is required to initiate and maintain open positions in futures contracts. Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Funds based on the change in the market value of the position and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is closed out, at which time the gain or loss is realized. The Funds may lose the expected benefit of futures transactions if interest rates, exchange rates or securities prices change in an unanticipated manner. Such unanticipated changes may also result in lower overall performance than if the Funds had not entered into any futures transactions. In addition, the value of the Funds' futures positions may not prove to be perfectly or even highly correlated with the value of its portfolio securities or foreign currencies, limiting the Funds' ability to hedge effectively against interest rate, exchange rate and/or market risk and giving rise to additional risks. There is no assurance of liquidity in the secondary market for purposes of closing out futures positions. The collateral held by the Funds is reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities under Deposit with broker for futures contracts.

Management has determined that no offsetting requirements exist as a result of their conclusion that the Funds are not subject to master netting agreements for futures contracts.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Funds entered into futures contracts primarily for the strategy of hedging or other purposes, including but not limited to, providing liquidity and equitizing cash.

Credit Derivatives:

The Funds may enter into credit derivatives, including centrally cleared credit default swaps on individual obligations or credit indices. The Funds may use these investments (i) as alternatives to direct long or short investment in a particular security or securities, (ii) to adjust the Funds' asset allocations or risk exposures, or (iii) for hedging purposes. The use by the Funds of centrally cleared credit default swaps may have the effect of creating a short position in a security. Credit derivatives can create investment leverage and may create additional investment risks that may subject the Funds to greater volatility than investments in more traditional securities, as described in the Funds' Statements of Additional Information.

Centrally cleared credit default swap ("CDS") agreements on credit indices involve one party making a stream of payments (referred to as the buyer of protection) to another party (the seller of protection) in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a write-down, principal shortfall, interest shortfall or default of all or part of the referenced entities comprising the credit index. A credit index is a basket of credit instruments or exposures designed to be representative of a specific sector of the credit market as a whole. These indices are made up of reference credits that are judged by a poll of dealers to be the most liquid entities in the CDS.

The counterparty risk for cleared swap agreements is generally lower than uncleared over-the-counter swap agreements because generally a clearing organization becomes substituted for each counterparty to a centrally cleared swap agreement and, in effect, guarantees each party's performance under the contract as each party to a trade looks only to the clearing organization for performance of financial obligations. However, there can be no assurance that the clearing organization, or its members, will satisfy its obligations to the Fund.

The Funds may enter into CDS agreements either as a buyer or seller. The Funds may buy protection under a CDS to attempt to mitigate the risk of default or credit quality deterioration in one or more individual holdings or in a segment of the fixed income securities market. The Funds may sell protection under a CDS in an attempt to gain exposure to an underlying issuer's credit quality characteristics without investing directly in that issuer.

For swaps entered with an individual counterparty, the Funds bear the risk of loss of the uncollateralized amount expected to be received under a CDS agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of the counterparty. CDS agreements are generally valued at a price at which the counterparty to such agreement would terminate the agreement. The Funds may also enter into centrally cleared swaps.

Upon entering into a cleared CDS, the Funds may be required to deposit with the broker an amount of cash or cash equivalents in the range of approximately 3% to 6% of the notional amount for CDS on high yield debt issuers (this amount is subject to change by the clearing organization that clears the trade). This amount, known as "initial margin," is in the nature of a performance bond or good faith deposit on the CDS and is returned to a Fund upon termination of the CDS, assuming all contractual obligations have been satisfied. Subsequent payments, known as "variation margin," to and from the broker will be made daily as the price of the CDS fluctuates, making the long and short positions in the CDS contract more or less valuable, a process known as "marking-to-market". The premium (discount) payments are built into the daily price of the CDS and thus are amortized through the variation margin. The variation margin payment also includes the daily portion of the periodic payment stream.

The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Funds as a seller of protection could be required to make under a CDS agreement equals the notional amount of the agreement. Notional amounts of each individual CDS agreement outstanding as of year end for which the Funds are the sellers of protection are disclosed on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, periodic interest payments, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection CDS agreements entered into by the Funds for the same referenced entity or entities. The collateral held by the Funds is reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities under Deposit with broker for swap agreements.

Management has determined that no offsetting requirements exist as a result of their conclusion that the Funds are not subject to master netting agreements for swap agreements.

As of June 30, 2022, INCORE Low Duration Bond Fund entered into centrally cleared CDS agreements primarily for the strategy of asset allocation and risk exposure, and the INCORE Total Return Bond Fund had no open swap agreements.

All open derivative positions at period end are reflected on each respective Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The underlying face value of open derivative positions relative to each Fund's net assets at period end is generally representative of the notional amount of open positions to net assets throughout the period.

Investment Transactions and Related Income:

Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date or the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis. Paydown gains or losses on applicable securities, if any, are recorded as components of Interest Income on the Statements of Operations.

The Funds may receive other income from investments in loan assignments and/or unfunded commitments, including amendment fees, consent fees, and commitment fees. These fees are recorded as income when received. These amounts, if received, are included in Interest income on the Statements of Operations.

Securities Lending:

The Funds, through a Securities Lending Agreement with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), may lend their securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers and banks, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. Borrowers are required to initially secure their loans for collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non-U.S. securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls associated with increases in the valuation of the securities loaned are generally cured the next business day. The collateral can be received in the form of cash collateral and/or non-cash collateral. Non-cash collateral can include U.S. Government Securities and other securities as permitted by Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidelines. The cash collateral is invested in short-term instruments or cash equivalents, primarily open-end investment companies, as noted on the Funds' Schedules of Portfolio Investments. The Funds effectively do not have control of the non-cash collateral and therefore it is not disclosed on the Funds' Schedules of Portfolio Investments. Collateral requirements are determined daily based on the value of the Funds' securities on loan as of the end of the prior business day. During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the Funds any dividends or interest paid on such securities plus any fee negotiated between the parties to the lending agreement. The Funds also earn a return from the collateral. The Funds pay Citibank various fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral and fees based on the investment income received from securities lending activities. Securities lending income (net of these fees) is disclosed on the Statements of Operations. Loans are terminable upon demand and the borrower must return the loaned securities within the lesser of one standard settlement period or five business days. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, a Fund could experience a delay in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them. In addition, there is a risk that the value of the short-term investments will be less than the amount of cash collateral required to be returned to the borrower.

The Funds' agreement with Citibank does not include master netting provisions. Non-cash collateral received by the Funds may not be sold or repledged, except to satisfy borrower default.

Federal Income Taxes:

Each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Funds have a tax year end of December 31.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Funds did not incur any income tax, interest, or penalties, and have recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain tax positions.

Management of the Funds has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax years, which includes the current fiscal tax year end). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.

Allocations:

Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund, while expenses that are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust, or jointly with an affiliated trust, are allocated among the respective funds in the Trust and/or an affiliated trust based upon net assets or another appropriate basis.

Income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses such as transfer agent fees, state registration fees, printing fees, and 12b-1 fees), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets on the date income is earned or expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred.

Cross-Trade Transactions:

Pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act, the Funds may engage in securities transactions with affiliated investment companies and advisory accounts managed by the Adviser and any applicable sub-adviser. Any such purchase or sale transaction must be effected without brokerage commission or other remuneration, except for customary transfer fees. The transaction must be effected at the current market price, which is either the security's last sale price on an exchange or, if there are no transactions in the security that day, at the average of the highest bid and lowest asked price. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Fund engaged in the following securities transactions with affiliated funds, which resulted in the following net realized gains (losses):

5. Risks:

The Funds may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.

Debt Securities Risk — The value of a debt security or other income-producing security changes in response to various factors, including, for example, market-related factors (such as changes in interest rates or changes in the risk appetite of investors generally) and changes in the actual or perceived ability of the issuer (or of issuers generally) to meet its (or their) obligations. Other factors that may affect the value of debt securities, include, among others, public health crises and responses by governments and companies to such crises. These and other events may affect the creditworthiness of the issuer of a debt security and may impair an issuer's ability to timely meet its debt obligations as they come due.

Credit Risk — The Funds will be subject to credit risk with respect to the amount each expects to receive from counterparties for financial instruments entered into by the Funds. The Funds may be negatively impacted if a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties. The Funds may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding and the Funds may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. The Funds typically enter into transactions with counterparties whose credit ratings are investment grade, as determined by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or, if unrated, judged by the Adviser to be of comparable quality.

Derivatives Risk — The use of derivative instruments, such as futures contracts and credit default swaps, exposes the Funds to additional risks and transaction costs. Risks of derivative instruments include: (1) the risk that interest rates, securities prices, asset values, and currency markets will not move in the direction that a portfolio manager anticipates; (2) imperfect correlation between the price of derivative instruments and movements in the prices of the securities, assets, interest rates or currencies being hedged; (3) the fact that skills needed to use these strategies are different than those needed to select portfolio securities; (4) the possible absence of a liquid secondary market for any particular instrument and possible exchange imposed price fluctuation limits, either of which may make it difficult or impossible to close out a position when desired; (5) the risk that adverse price movements in an instrument can result in a loss substantially greater than the Funds' initial investment in that instrument (in some cases, the potential loss is unlimited); (6) particularly in the case of privately-negotiated instruments, the risk that the counterparty will not perform its obligations, which could leave the Funds worse off than if it had not entered into the position; and (7) the inability to close out certain hedged positions to avoid adverse tax consequences.

LIBOR Discontinuation Risk — The London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") discontinuation may adversely affect the financial markets generally and the Funds' operations, finances and investments specifically. LIBOR has been the principal floating-rate benchmark in the financial markets. However,


88


Victory Portfolios

  Notes to Financial Statements — continued
June 30, 2022
 

  (Unaudited)

LIBOR has been or will be discontinued as a floating rate benchmark. The date of discontinuation depends on the LIBOR currency and tenor. With limited exceptions, no new LIBOR obligations will be entered into after December 31, 2021. Existing LIBOR obligations have transitioned or will transition to another benchmark, depending on the LIBOR currency and tenor. For some existing LIBOR-based obligations, the contractual consequences of the discontinuation of LIBOR may not be clear.

Non-LIBOR floating-rate obligations, including Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR")-based obligations, may have returns and values that fluctuate more than those of floating-rate debt obligations that are based on LIBOR or other rates. Also, because SOFR and some alternative floating rates are relatively new market indexes, markets for certain non-LIBOR obligations may never develop or may not be liquid. Market terms for non-LIBOR floating rate obligations, such as the spread over the index reflected in interest-rate provisions, may evolve over time, and prices of non-LIBOR floating rate obligations may be different depending on when they are issued and changing views about correct spread levels.

Various SOFR-based rates, including SOFR-based term rates, and various non-SOFR-based rates are expected to develop in response to the discontinuation of U.S. dollar LIBOR, which may create various risks for the Funds and the financial markets more generally. There are non-LIBOR forward-looking floating rates that are not based on SOFR and that may be considered by participants in the financial markets as LIBOR alternatives. Such rates include AMERIBOR (American Interbank Offered Rate), BSBY (Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index) and BYI (Bank Yield Index). Unlike forward-looking SOFR-based term rates, such rates are intended to reflect a bank credit spread component.

It is not clear how replacement rates for LIBOR — including SOFR-based rates and non-SOFR-based rates — will develop and to what extent they will be used. There is no assurance that these replacement rates will be suitable substitutes for LIBOR, and thus the substitution of such rates for LIBOR could have an adverse effect on the Funds and the financial markets more generally. Concerns about market depth and stability could affect the development of non-SOFR-based term rates, and such rates may create various risks, which may or may not be similar to the risks relating to SOFR.

Market Risk — Overall market risks may affect the value of the Fund. Domestic and international factors such as political events, war, terrorism, trade disputes, inflation rates, interest rate levels and other fiscal and monetary policy changes, cybersecurity incidents, pandemics and other public health crises, sanctions against a particular foreign country, its nationals, businesses or industries and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods or other catastrophes, may add to instability in global economies and markets generally, and may lead to increased market volatility. Global economies and financial markets are highly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region might adversely affect issuers in another country or region. The impact of these and other factors may be short-term or may last for extended periods.

6. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:

Line of Credit:

The Victory Funds Complex participates in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 27, 2022, with a termination date of June 26, 2023. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex may borrow up to $600 million, of which $300 million is committed and $300 million is uncommitted. $40 million of the Line of Credit is reserved for use by the Floating Rate Fund, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with Floating Rate Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, Citibank received an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $300 million for providing the Line of Credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex paid a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest on amounts borrowed. For the period from January 1, 2022, through June 27, 2022, interest was based on the one-month LIBOR plus one percent. Effective with the renewal, for the period June 28, 2022, through June 30, 2022, interest was based on the one-month SOFR plus 1.10 percent.

  (Unaudited)

Interest charged to each fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statements of Operations under Line of credit fees.

The Funds had no borrowings under the Line of Credit agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Interfund Lending:

The Trust and the Adviser rely on an exemptive order granted by the SEC in March 2017 (the "Order"), permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the "Facility"). The Facility allows each Fund to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other fund in the Victory Funds Complex that is permitted to participate in the Facility, relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are allowed for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund's borrowing restrictions. The interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. As a Borrower, interest charged to each Fund, if any, during the period, is reflected on the Statements of Operations under Interfund lending fees. As a Lender, interest earned by each Fund, if any, during the period, is reflected on the Statements of Operations under Interfund lending.

7. Federal Income Tax Information:

Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually from each Fund. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid as noted in the table below.

The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively, distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Funds may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (loss) will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending December 31, 2022.

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information

Proxy Voting:

Information regarding the policies and procedures each Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling 800-539-3863. The information is also included in the Funds' Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Information relating to how the Funds voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent 12 months ended June 30 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments:

The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. Forms N-PORT are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Expense Examples

As a shareholder of a Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2022, through June 30, 2022.

The Actual Expense figures in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

The Hypothetical Expense figures in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note the expenses shown in the table below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the hypothetical expenses in the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Liquidity Risk Management Program:

The Victory Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the "LRMP") as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration each Fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions; its short- and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other liquidity management tools such as available funding sources including the Victory Funds Complex Interfund Lending Facility and Line of Credit (discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements). The Victory Funds' Board of Trustees approved the appointment of the Funds' investment adviser, Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital"), as the administrator of the LRMP.

Victory Capital manages liquidity risks associated with the Funds' investments by monitoring, among other things, cash and cash equivalents, any use of derivatives, the concentration of investments, the appropriateness of each Fund's investment strategy, and by classifying every Fund investment as either highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid, or illiquid on at least a monthly basis. To assist with the classification of Fund investments, Victory Capital has retained a third-party provider of liquidity evaluation services. This provider determines preliminary liquidity classifications for all portfolio holdings based upon portfolio-level data and certain assumptions provided by Victory Capital. Victory Capital reviews the preliminary liquidity classifications and, when appropriate, considers other information including input from the Funds' portfolio managers (including the portfolio managers employed by any investment sub-advisers) in determining final liquidity classifications.

At a meeting held on February 24, 2022, Victory Capital provided an oral and written report to the Trustees on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP during the previous year. The report from Victory Capital concluded that the Funds did not experience any significant liquidity challenges during the covered period, and the Funds' LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage its liquidity risk. The report also concluded that the LRMP continues to operate adequately and effectively to enable Victory Capital to oversee and manage liquidity risk and ensure each Fund is able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution to the remaining investors' interest in each Fund. During the review period, except for Victory Floating Rate Fund, each Fund's portfolio consisted primarily of highly liquid investments, which are defined as cash and any investments that each Fund reasonably expected to be converted to cash in current market conditions in three business days or less without significantly changing the market value of the investment. Therefore, the Funds have not adopted a Highly Liquid Investment Minimum. The Victory Floating Rate Fund set a Highly Liquid Investment Minimum of 5% upon implementation of the LMRP. The Victory Floating Rate Fund invests primarily in floating rate bank loans, which typically are characterized as Less Liquid because transactions on these securities often occur on a delayed basis. The Fund typically maintains 12-15% of its net assets in Highly Liquid Investments. This Fund also reserves a set portion of the Line of Credit agreement with Citibank to mitigate the liquidity risk from holding Less Liquid securities. Victory Floating Rate Fund has maintained highly liquid investments satisfying this minimum requirement. The Funds' investments were below the limitation on illiquid investments during the review period. Additionally, Victory Capital indicated that no events occurred that would require the filing of Form N-LIQUID and recommended no material changes to the LRMP.
