USAA International Fund Summary
Investment Objective

The USAA International Fund (the "Fund") seeks capital appreciation.

Fees and Expenses

The tables below describe the fees and expenses that you may pay, directly and indirectly, to invest in the Fund. You may qualify for sales charge discounts if you and your immediate family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $50,000 in one or more USAA Mutual Funds or Victory Funds. More information about these and other discounts is available in Purchases on page 25 of the Fund's Prospectus, in Appendix A – Variations in Sales Charge Reductions and Waivers Available Through Certain Intermediaries, and from your investment professional.

[1] Victory Capital Management Inc. (the "Adviser") has agreed that no performance adjustment (positive or negative) will be made to the amount payable to the Adviser from July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020. Thereafter, the management fee may fluctuate (increase or decrease by up to +/- 0.06% of the average nets assets of the Fund) based on the Fund's performance relative to a securities market index measured over a rolling 36-month period. See <b>Fund Management</b> section for a description of the performance adjustment.
[2] The expense information in the table for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares has been restated to reflect current fees.
[3] The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and/or reimburse expenses so that the total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses, and other extraordinary expenses) do not exceed an annual rate of 1.06% of the Fund Shares, 0.99% of the Institutional Shares, 1.35% of the Class A shares (formerly, Adviser Shares), and 0.85% of the R6 Shares, through at least June 30, 2021. The Adviser is permitted to recoup advisory fees waived and expenses reimbursed for up to three years after the fiscal year in which 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. The amount of any waivers or reimbursements and the amount of any recoupment is calculated without regard to the impact of any performance adjustment to the Fund's management fee. 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 indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, and the expense limitation agreement for each class of shares is not continued beyond its expiration date. 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. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Expense Example - International Fund - USD ($)
1 Year
3 Years
5 Years
10 Years
Fund Shares 108 339 588 1,304
Inst. Shares 100 312 542 1,201
Class A 705 990 1,296 2,164
R6 Shares 87 431 897 2,188
Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, including commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when shares of the Fund are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance.

For the six-month period ended November 30, 2019, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 85% of the average value of its portfolio. For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2019, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 30% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategy

The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of foreign (including emerging markets) companies. The "equity securities" in which the Fund principally invests are common stocks, depositary receipts, preferred stocks, securities convertible into common stocks, and securities that carry the right to buy common stocks including rights and warrants.

The Fund normally will invest its assets in investments that are tied economically to a number of countries throughout the world. However, the Fund may invest a significant percentage of its assets in securities of issuers in a single country, a small number of countries, or a particular geographic region. The Fund may invest in securities of companies of any size, including mid- and small-cap companies. The Fund uses a combination of quantitative analysis as well as an active bottom-up investment approach to buying and selling investments. A quantitative process is used to systematically evaluate an issuer's valuation, price and earnings momentum, earnings quality, and other factors also may be considered. Investments are also selected based on fundamental analysis of individual issuers and their potential in light of their financial condition and market, economic, political, and regulatory conditions. Factors considered may include analysis of an issuer's earnings, cash flows, competitive position, and management ability.

Principal Risks

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

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

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

Foreign Securities Risk – Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market.

Emerging Markets Risk – Foreign securities risk can be particularly heightened because investments in emerging market countries generally are more volatile than investments in developed markets. Emerging market countries are less economically diverse and mature than more developed countries and tend to be politically less stable.

Geographic Risk – The Fund's performance could be closely tied to the market, currency, economic, political, regulatory, geopolitical, or other conditions and developments in the countries or regions in which the Fund invests. As such, the Fund's performance could be more volatile than the performance of more geographically diversified funds.

Small-Capitalization and Mid-Capitalization Stock Risk – The Fund invests in small- and mid-capitalization companies, which may be more vulnerable than larger companies to adverse business or economic conditions. Securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of larger companies or the market in general and, therefore, may involve greater risk than investing in securities of larger companies.

Large Shareholders Risk – The actions by one shareholder or multiple shareholders may have an impact on the Fund and, therefore, indirectly on other shareholders. Shareholder purchase and redemption activity may affect the per share amount of the Fund's distributions of its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, thereby affecting the tax burden on the Fund's shareholders subject to federal income tax. To the extent a larger shareholder (including, for example, an Affiliated Fund that operates as a fund-of-funds or 529 college savings plan) is permitted to invest in the Fund, the Fund may experience large inflows or outflows of cash from time to time. This activity could magnify these adverse effects on the Fund.

Any investment involves risk, and there is no assurance that the Fund's objective will be achieved. By itself, the Fund does not constitute a complete investment plan. As you consider an investment in the Fund, you also should take into account your tolerance for the daily fluctuations of the financial markets and whether you can afford to leave your money in the Fund for long periods of time to ride out down periods. As with other mutual funds, losing money is a risk of investing in the Fund.

An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Performance

The following bar chart and table are intended to help you understand the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund has four classes of shares: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A shares, and R6 Shares.  The bar chart provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund and illustrates the Fund Shares class' volatility by showing how performance has varied from year to year for each full calendar year over the past 10 years. The table shows how the average annual total returns of the share classes for the periods indicated compared to those of the Fund's benchmark index and an additional index of funds with similar investment objectives. Performance reflects any expense limitations in effect during the periods shown.

Performance data for the classes varies based on differences in their fee and expense structures. Remember, historical performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate what will happen in the future. The Fund's most current performance information is available on the Fund's website at usaa.com (effective on or about September 8, 2020, performance information may be found at vcm.com) or by calling (800) 235-8396. Effective June 29, 2020, the Fund's Adviser Shares were redesignated Class A shares, subject to a front-end sales load and different fees and expenses. Performance of the Class A shares, therefore, is that of the Adviser Shares and has been restated to reflect the sales load applicable to Class A shares but not any difference in the fees and expenses.

RISK/RETURN BAR CHART Annual Returns for Periods Ended December 31
Bar Chart

The year-to-date return of the Fund Shares as of March 31, 2020, was -26.42%.

During the periods shown in the chart: Returns Quarter ended
Highest Quarter Return 16.09% September 30, 2010
Lowest Quarter Return -20.30% September 30, 2011

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact 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. The actual after-tax returns depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown. If you hold your shares through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as an individual retirement account ("IRA") or 401(k) plan, the after-tax returns shown in the table are not relevant to you. Please note that after-tax returns are shown only for the Fund Shares and may differ for each share class.
