Victory Capital Management Inc. (the “Adviser”) has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and/or reimburse expenses so that the total annual fund operating expenses (excluding certain items such as interest, taxes, and brokerage commissions) do not exceed 1.35%, 2.10%, 0.95%, 1.10%, and 1.10% of the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R6, and Class Y shares, respectively, through at least October 31, 2024. The Adviser is permitted to recoup advisory fees waived and expenses reimbursed for up to three years after the date of the waiver or reimbursement, subject to the lesser of any operating expense limits in effect at the time of (a) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (b) the recoupment, after giving effect to the recoupment amount.
This agreement may only be terminated by the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

Victory Trivalent International Small-Cap Fund Summary
Example:
The following example is designed to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods shown and then sell or continue to hold all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The amounts shown reflect any fee waiver/expense reimbursement in place through its expiration date. After eight years, Class C shares of the Fund generally will convert
automatically to Class A shares of the Fund. The example for Class C shares reflects the conversion to Class A shares after eight years.Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
 
1 Year
3 Years
5 Years
10 Years
Class A
$705
$1,038
$1,394
$2,393
Class C

$1,323
$2,644
Class I

Class R6
$105
$328
$569
$1,259
Class Y
$112
$360
$628
$1,393
The following example makes the same assumptions as the example above, except that it assumes you do not sell your Class C shares at the end of the period.
 
1 Year

Class C
$213
$755
$1,323
$2,644
The example does not reflect sales charges (loads) on reinvested dividends and other distributions. If these sales charges (loads) were included, your costs would be higher.
Portfolio Turnover:
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover will generally indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. For the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 54% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategy
The Adviser pursues the Fund's investment objective by investing primarily in equity securities of companies principally in countries represented in the S&P® Developed ex-U.S. SmallCap Index (“Index”).
Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund's assets will be invested in securities of small-capitalization companies. The Adviser considers any company with a market capitalization at the time of purchase that is within such country’s smallest 15% based on market capitalization to be a small-capitalization company. The size of companies in the Index changes with market conditions and the composition of the Index.
The Adviser employs a bottom-up investment approach that emphasizes individual stock selection. The Adviser's investment process uses a combination of quantitative and traditional qualitative, fundamental analysis to identify attractive stocks with low relative price multiples, positive trends in earnings forecasts, high profitability, and companies with a strong or positively trending environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) profile. The stock selection process is designed to produce a diversified portfolio that, relative to the Index, tends to have a below-average
2

Victory Trivalent International Small-Cap Fund Summary
price-to-earnings ratio, an above-average earnings growth trend, and above average return on invested capital. ESG investing considerations are not a primary or exclusive factor, but rather an additional inclusive consideration to the Adviser's process.
The Fund's investment allocation to countries and sectors tends to approximate the country and sector allocations of the Index, which concentrates its exposure in one or more countries, regions, or sectors. The Index consists of the stocks representing the lowest 15% of float-adjusted market capitalization in each country other than the United States represented in the S&P® Developed Broad Market Index (BMI). The S&P® Developed BMI includes all listed shares of companies from 24 developed countries with float-adjusted market capitalizations of at least US$100 million and annual trading value of at least US$50 million. The Fund normally invests in a minimum of 10 countries.
Principal Risks
The Fund’s investments are subject to the following principal risks:
Equity Securities Risk — The value of the equity securities in which the Fund invests may decline in response to developments affecting individual companies and/or general economic conditions in the United States or abroad. A company’s earnings or dividends may not increase as expected (or may decline) because of poor management, competitive pressures, reliance on particular suppliers or geographical regions, labor problems or shortages, corporate restructurings, fraudulent disclosures, man-made or natural disasters, military confrontations or wars, terrorism, public health crises, or other events, conditions, and factors. Price changes may be temporary or last for extended periods.
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.
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 United States, 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. Depositary receipts may have additional risks, including creditworthiness of the depositary bank and the risk of an illiquid market. 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.
Small-Capitalization Stock Risk — Small-sized 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.

Victory Trivalent International Small-Cap Fund Summary
Sector Focus Risk — To the extent the Fund focuses in one or more sectors, such as the industrials sector, market or economic factors impacting those sectors could have a significant effect on the value of the Fund’s investments and could make the Fund’s performance more volatile.
Industrials Sector Risk — Companies in the industrials sector are affected by supply and demand both for their specific product or service and for industrials sector products in general. Government regulation, world events, and economic conditions also affect the performance of investments in such issuers. Aerospace and defense companies, a component of the industrials sector, can be significantly affected by government spending policies. Transportation companies may experience occasional sharp price movements, which may result from changes in the economy, fuel prices, labor agreements, and insurance costs.
Investment Style Risk — Different types of investment styles, for example growth or value, tend to perform differently and shift into and out of favor with investors depending on changes in market and economic sentiment and conditions. As a result, the Fund’s performance may at times be worse than the performance of other mutual funds that invest more broadly or that have different investment styles.
Liquidity Risk — Lack of a ready market or restrictions on resale may limit the ability of the Fund to dispose of certain holdings quickly or at prices that represent true market value in the judgment of the Adviser. In addition, the Fund, by itself or together with other accounts managed by the Adviser, may hold a position in an investment that is large relative to the typical trading volume for that investment, which can make it difficult for the Fund to dispose of the position at an advantageous time or price. Illiquid investments and relatively less-liquid investments may also be difficult to value. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that the Fund may not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period because of unusual market conditions, unusually high volume of redemptions, or other reasons. To meet redemption requests or to raise cash to pursue other investment opportunities, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, which may adversely affect the Fund.
Management Risk — The portfolio managers may not execute the Fund's principal investment strategy effectively.
You may lose money by investing in the Fund. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its objective. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
By itself, the Fund does not constitute a complete investment plan and should be considered a long-term investment for investors who can afford to weather changes in the value of their investment.
Investment Performance
The bar chart and table that follow are intended to help you understand some of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows you how the Fund’s calendar year performance has varied over the past 10 years. The table compares the Fund’s average annual total returns of the Fund's share classes, including applicable maximum sales charges, over the same period to one or more broad measures of market performance. We assume reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
Performance data for the classes varies based on differences in their fee and expense structures and reflects any expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. The Fund's past performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available on the Fund’s website at vcm.com.
The performance figures for Class A, C, I, R6, and Y shares prior to October 31, 2014, reflect the historical performance of the Class A, C, I, R6, and Y shares, respectively, of the Munder International Small-Cap Fund, a series of Munder Series Trust (the predecessor to the Fund managed by Munder

Capital Management). The Fund’s performance has not been restated to reflect any differences in the expenses of the Munder International Small-Cap Fund.

After-tax returns use the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the effect of state and local taxes. In certain situations, the return after taxes on distributions and sale of fund shares may be higher than the other return amounts. A higher after-tax return may result when a capital loss occurs upon redemption and translates into an assumed tax deduction that benefits the shareholder. Actual after-tax returns depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant if you own your Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. After-tax returns are shown for only one share class. The after-tax returns for other classes will vary.

For Class A and Class C shares a $1,000 minimum initial purchase amount and a $50 minimum subsequent purchase amount apply for Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), gift/transfer to minor accounts, and purchases through automatic investment plans.
Certain broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries (such as a bank) may establish higher or lower minimum initial and subsequent investment amounts to which you may be subject if you invest through them.
You may redeem your shares on any day the Fund is open for business. Redemption requests may be made by telephone (with prior appropriate approval) or by mail.
When you buy and redeem shares, the Fund will price your transaction at the next-determined net asset value (“NAV”) after the Fund receives your request in good order, which means that your request contains all the required documentation, and that all documents contain required signatures or signature guarantees from a financial institution.
Tax Information
The Fund’s distributions are taxable whether you receive them in cash, additional shares of the Fund, or you reinvest them in shares of another Victory Fund, and will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account. Taxes may be imposed on withdrawals from tax-deferred arrangements.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services for investments in all classes except Class R6. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the financial intermediary and its financial advisor to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your financial advisor or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
