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 0.85%, 1.62%, and 0.62% of the Fund’s Class A, Class C, 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: 

	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Class A	$310	$517	$742	$1,388
Class C	$265	$649	$1,160	$2,234
Class Y	$63	$216	$382	$863

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	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Class C	$165	$649	$1,160	$2,234

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 38% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategy

The Adviser pursues the Fund’s investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets in debt securities. The Fund’s debt securities may include without limitation: U.S. government securities, including securities issued by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. government; long- and short-term corporate debt obligations; mortgage-backed securities, including collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”); asset-backed securities, including collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”) and collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”); convertible bonds and notes; and U.S. dollar-denominated obligations of foreign governments, corporations and banks (i.e., Yankee Bonds).

The Adviser uses bond market sector allocation, comprehensive credit analysis, and yield curve positioning to select securities for the Fund. Under normal market conditions, the average duration of the Fund’s portfolio is expected to be between one to three years and an average maturity between one to three years. The Fund seeks to maintain a low duration but may lengthen or shorten its duration within that range to reflect changes in the overall composition of the short-term investment-grade debt markets. Duration is a measure of a bond price’s sensitivity to a given change in interest rates.

An investment-grade security is one that is rated Baa3 and higher by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or BBB- and higher by S&P Global Ratings or, if unrated, has been determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in below-investment-grade debt securities, commonly known as “high-yield” securities or “junk bonds.”

The Adviser regularly reviews the Fund’s investments and may sell investments when it believes the securities are no longer attractive due to valuation, changes in the fundamental outlook of the company or other investments are considered more attractive.

2

Victory Low Duration Bond Fund Summary

Although the Fund primarily will be invested in domestic securities, up to 20% of the Fund’s assets may be invested in foreign securities, which may be denominated in foreign currencies.

The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued, to-be-announced (“TBA”), delayed-delivery or forward-commitment basis and may engage in short-term trading of portfolio securities. There is no limitation on the maturity of any specific security the Fund may purchase, and the Fund may sell any security before it matures. The Fund may also utilize dollar roll transactions to obtain market exposure to certain types of securities, particularly mortgage-backed securities.

The Fund may enter into exchange-traded or over-the-counter derivatives transactions of any kind, such as futures contracts (both long and short positions), options on futures, and swap contracts, including, for example, interest rate swaps and credit default swaps. The Fund also may enter into exchange-traded or over-the-counter foreign currency exchange transactions, including currency futures, forward, and option transactions. The Fund may enter into any of these transactions for a variety of purposes, including, but not limited to, hedging various risks such as credit risk, interest rate risk, currency risk, and liquidity risk; taking a net long or short position in certain investments or markets; providing liquidity in the Fund; equitizing cash; minimizing transaction costs; generating income; adjusting the Fund’s sensitivity to interest rate risk, currency risk, or other risk; replicating certain direct investments; and asset and sector allocation.

Principal Risks

The Fund’s investments are subject to the following principal 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.

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.

High-Yield/Junk Bond Risk — Lower-quality debt securities can involve a substantially greater risk of default than higher-quality debt securities, and their values can decline significantly over short and longer periods of time. Lower-quality debt securities tend to be more sensitive to adverse news about the issuer, or the market or economy in general.

Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk — During periods of falling interest rates, mortgage- and asset-backed securities may be called or prepaid, which may result in the Fund having to reinvest proceeds in other investments at a lower interest rate. During periods of rising interest rates, the average life of mortgage- and asset-backed securities may extend, which may lock in a below-market interest rate, increase the security's duration, and reduce the value of the security. Enforcing rights against the underlying assets or collateral may be difficult, or the underlying assets or collateral may be insufficient if the issuer defaults.

3

Victory Low Duration Bond Fund Summary

Mortgage Dollar Rolls Risk — The market price of the mortgage-backed securities in a mortgage dollar roll transaction may drop below their future purchase price. In addition, investment in mortgage dollar rolls may significantly increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate. To the extent the Fund buys and sells securities actively, it could have higher expenses (which reduces returns to shareholders) and higher taxable distributions.

When-Issued, TBA and Delayed Delivery Risk — The market value of a security issued on a when-issued, to-be-announced or delayed-delivery basis may change before the delivery date, which may adversely impact the Fund’s net asset value. There is also the risk that a party fails to deliver the security on time or at all.

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. Over recent years, the capacity of dealers to make markets in fixed-income securities has been outpaced by the growth in the size of the fixed-income markets. Liquidity risk may be magnified in a rising interest rate environment or when investor redemptions from fixed-income funds may be higher than normal due to the increased supply in the market that would result from selling activity.

Foreign Securities Risk — Foreign securities 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. 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.

Derivatives Risk — Derivative instruments and strategies, including  futures and selling securities short, may not perfectly replicate direct investment in the security. Derivatives also entail exposure to counterparty credit risk, the risk of mispricing or improper valuation, and the risk that small price movements can result in substantial gains or losses.

Credit Derivatives Risk — Credit default swaps can create investment leverage and may create additional investment risks that may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in more traditional securities.

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, and Y shares prior to July 30, 2016, reflects the historical performance of, respectively, the Class A, C, and Y shares of the RS Low Duration Bond 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. The Fund's investment team changed on September 1, 2023.

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.

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.

Minimum Initial Investment	$2,500	$2,500	$1,000,000
Minimum Subsequent Investments	$50	$50	None

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. 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.
