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 1.13%, 1.88%, 1.38%, 0.83%, and 0.88% of the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Class R, Class R6, and Class Y shares, respectively, through at least April 30, 2026. 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.
Example:
This Example is intended 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:

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 generally will 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 19% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategy
The Adviser pursues the Fund’s investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the value of the Fund’s net assets in common stocks and convertible securities issued by companies (1) organized, domiciled, or with a principal office outside of the United States, (2) the securities of which primarily trade in a market located outside of the United States, or (3) that do a substantial amount of business outside of the United States, which the Adviser considers to be companies that derive at least 50% of their revenue or profits from business outside the United States or have at least 50% of their sales or assets outside the United States. The Fund invests in companies of any size.
The Fund usually does not focus its investments in a particular industry or country. A significant part of the Fund’s assets normally will be divided among continental Europe, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Asia/Pacific region (including Australia and New Zealand). However, there are no limitations on how much money the Fund can invest in any one country. The Fund may invest up to 20% (measured at the time of purchase) of its total assets in companies located in emerging market countries when the Adviser believes it would be appropriate to do so.
The Fund may also invest in foreign issuers through American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), European Depositary Receipts (“EDRs”), Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”), or similar investment vehicles.
The Adviser employs both quantitative modeling and qualitative analysis in seeking to identify higher quality investment candidates across geographic regions and market capitalizations. The team’s proprietary quantitative model emphasizes the ability to create shareholder value, attractive valuations, and favorable market sentiment. Research analysts validate model recommendations,
2

Victory RS International Fund Summary
assess the sustainability of company performance, and evaluate business risks. The team monitors macroeconomic and political trends, as well as risk exposures, as part of the overall investment process.
The Adviser regularly reviews the Fund’s investments and will sell securities when the Adviser believes the securities are no longer attractive because (1) of a deterioration in rank of the security in accordance with the Adviser’s process, (2) of price appreciation, (3) of a change in the fundamental outlook of the company, or (4) other investments available are considered to be more attractive.
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. Equity securities have the lowest priority, and the greatest risk, with respect to dividends and any liquidation payments in the event of an issuer’s bankruptcy.
General 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; imposition of tariffs; 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.
Geographic Focus Risk — To the extent the Fund focuses its investments in issuers located in a particular country or region, the Fund is subject to greater risks of volatile economic cycles and/or conditions and developments that may be particular to that country or region. For example, the Fund may be subject to greater risk of adverse securities markets, exchange rates, social, political, regulatory, economic, business, environmental or other developments, or natural disasters.
Smaller-Capitalization Stock Risk — Small- and mid-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
3

Victory RS International Fund Summary
financial resources and lack management experience and may experience higher failure rates than larger companies.
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.
Large-Capitalization Stock Risk — The securities of large-sized companies may underperform the securities of smaller-sized companies or the market as a whole. The growth rate of larger, more established companies may lag those of smaller companies, especially during periods of economic expansion.
Emerging Markets Risk — The risks related to investing in foreign securities generally are 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, limited reliable access to capital, less government regulation (including limitations on the available rights and remedies), market manipulation concerns, less extensive and less frequent recordkeeping, accounting, financial and other reporting requirements, risk of loss resulting from problems in share registration and custody, risks related to foreign investment structures, substantial economic and political disruptions, and the nationalization of foreign deposits or assets.
Sector Focus Risk — While the Fund reserves the right to dynamically allocate its assets across economic sectors, listed below are some of the risks associated with the sectors in which the Fund may make significant investments. 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.
Financials Sector Risk — Companies in the financials sector are subject to extensive government regulation, which may limit both the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments that companies in this sector can make, and the interest rates and fees that these companies can charge. Profitability can be largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital and the rate of corporate and consumer debt defaults, and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change. Financial difficulties of borrowers can negatively affect the financials sector. Insurance companies can be subject to severe price competition. The financials sector can be subject to relatively rapid change as distinctions between financial service segments become increasingly blurred.
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, which have characteristics relevant to the Fund's investment strategy. We assume reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
Performance data for the classes varies based on differences in their fee and expense structures 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.
Performance information for the Fund’s Class A, C, R, and Y shares prior to July 30, 2016, reflects the historical performance of, respectively, the Class A, C, K, and Y shares of the RS International Fund, a series of RS Investment Trust (the predecessor to the Fund managed by RS Investment Management Co. LLC) (the “predecessor fund”). The Fund’s performance has not been restated to reflect any differences in expenses paid by the predecessor fund and those paid by the Fund.

Class C shares of the Fund will convert automatically into Class A shares in the month following the eight-year anniversary date of the purchase of the Class C shares. The 10-Year performance for Class C shares reflects the conversion to Class A shares after the first eight years of performance.

Inception date of Class R6 is May 2, 2019.
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 may be taxable whether you receive them in cash, additional shares of the Fund, or you reinvest them in shares of another Victory Fund, and may 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, 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.
