Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are fees and expenses of investment companies in which the Fund invests that are indirectly incurred by the Fund. Total annual fund operating expenses may not correlate to the ratio of expenses to the average daily net assets shown in the financial highlights, which reflect the operating expenses and do not include Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses.

Victory Capital Management Inc. (the "Adviser") has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the total annual fund operating expenses (excluding certain items such as acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses, and other extraordinary expenses) do not exceed an annual rate of 0.07% of the Fund through at least August 31, 2025. The Adviser is permitted to recoup management 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 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 the Fund is not continued beyond its expiration date.

Victory Target Retirement Income Fund Summary
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 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 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 5% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategy
The Fund invests in a selection of affiliated mutual funds and exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") ("underlying affiliated funds") managed by the Adviser in a manner consistent with its current asset allocation as depicted in the "lifestyle transition path."
The Fund's asset allocation strategy is based on the allocation at zero years left until retirement on the lifestyle transition path and is designed for investors who are currently in, or very close to, retirement and who are planning to start withdrawing funds for retirement now or within the immediate future. In general, the Fund's allocation strategy assumes funds will start being withdrawn for retirement purposes at age 65. However, the Fund should not be selected solely on the basis of an investor's age. Because the Fund is designed for investors who are in or close to retirement, it is not anticipated that the Fund's current asset allocation will change based on the lifestyle transition path. The Fund does not provide guaranteed income for retirement.
The Fund's current target asset allocation consists of: approximately 35% of the Fund's net assets allocated to underlying affiliated funds that invest primarily in equity securities ("equity investments"); and approximately 65% of the Fund's net assets allocated to underlying affiliated funds that invest primarily in fixed-income securities ("fixed-income investments"). In either case, the Fund may invest in underlying affiliated funds in alternative asset classes or with alternative strategies that the Adviser believes have similar risk/return profiles as these classes. The target asset allocation will not change unless approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees (the "Board").
Although the underlying affiliated funds are categorized generally as equity investments or fixed-income investments, many of these underlying affiliated funds invest in a mix of securities of domestic and foreign issuers, investment-grade and high-yield bonds, and other securities. As a result, the target asset allocation of the Fund may differ from the actual securities held by the underlying affiliated funds. Actual asset allocation also may differ from the lifestyle transition path as a result of market movement. The Fund's portfolio will be rebalanced on a regular basis, taking into account transaction costs. We may adjust the Fund's actual asset allocation from the targets specified in the lifestyle transition path based on market view or other conditions as part of an active asset allocation strategy, or make changes to the lifestyle transition path.

Victory Target Retirement Income Fund Summary
Principal Risks
The Fund's investments are subject to the following principal risks:
Affiliated Funds Risk - The risks of the Fund directly correspond to the risks of the underlying affiliated funds in which the Fund invests. By investing in the underlying affiliated funds, the Fund has exposure to the risk of many different areas of the market. The degree to which the risks described below apply to the Fund varies according to the Fund's asset allocation. For instance, the more the Fund is allocated to stock funds, the greater the risk associated with equity securities. The Fund also is subject to asset allocation risk (i.e., the risk that allocations will not produce the intended results) and to management risk (i.e., the risk that the selection of underlying affiliated funds will not produce the intended results).
Debt Securities Risk - The Fund may invest in underlying affiliated funds that invest in debt securities or other income-producing securities. 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.
High-Yield/Junk Bond Risk - Fixed-income securities rated below investment grade, also known as "junk" or high-yield bonds, generally entail greater economic, credit, and liquidity risk than investment-grade securities. Their prices may be more volatile, especially during economic downturns, financial setbacks, or liquidity events. High-yield securities also 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.
Credit Risk - Credit risk is the possibility that an issuer of a fixed-income security will fail to make timely interest and/or principal payments on its securities or that negative market perceptions of the issuer's ability to make such payments will cause the price of that security to decline. The Fund accepts some credit risk as a recognized means to enhance an investor's return. All fixed-income securities, varying from the highest quality to the very speculative, have some degree of credit risk.
Interest Rate Risk - Bond prices generally are linked to the prevailing market interest rates. In general, when interest rates rise, bond prices fall; conversely, when interest rates fall, bond prices rise. The price volatility of a bond also depends on its duration. Generally, the longer the duration of a bond, the greater is its sensitivity to interest rates. To compensate investors for this higher interest rate risk, bonds with longer durations generally offer higher yields than bonds with shorter durations.

Victory Target Retirement Income Fund Summary
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, 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.
Equity Securities Risk - The Fund may invest in underlying affiliated funds that invest in equity securities. 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. Global markets, or those in a particular region, may all react in similar fashion to important political, economic, or other developments. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable and make such investments riskier and more volatile.
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.
Exchange-Traded Funds Risk - The Fund may invest in shares of ETFs, which generally are investment companies that hold a portfolio of common stocks or debt securities the shares of which are traded on an exchange. ETFs incur their own management and other fees and expenses, such as trustees' fees, operating expenses, registration fees, and marketing expenses, a proportionate share of which will be borne indirectly by the Fund. As a result, the Fund's investment in an ETF will cause the Fund to indirectly bear the fees and expenses of the ETF and, in turn, the Fund's performance may be lower than if the Fund were to invest directly in the securities held by the underlying ETFs. In addition, the Fund will be exposed indirectly to all of the risks associated with securities held by the ETFs.
Conflict of Interest Risk - In managing a Fund that invests in underlying affiliated funds, the Adviser may have conflicts of interest in allocating the Fund's assets among the various underlying affiliated funds. This is because the fees payable by some of the underlying affiliated funds to the Adviser and/or its affiliates are higher than the fees payable by other underlying affiliated funds, and because the Adviser also manages and administers the underlying affiliated funds.
Management Risk - The Fund is actively managed, and the investment techniques and risk analyses used by the Fund's portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
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.
Investment Performance
The following bar chart and table are intended to help you understand some indication of the
risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart illustrates the Fund's 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 Fund for the periods indicated compared to those of the Fund's regulatory broad-based securities market index and the Fund's benchmark index. The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index serves as the Fund's regulatory broad-based securities market index. We assume reinvestment of dividends and distributions. Performance reflects any expense limitations in effect during the periods shown.
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 vcm.com or by calling (800) 235-8396.

Per new regulatory requirements, the Fund's regulatory broad-based securities market index is the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which represents the U.S. investment-grade bond market.
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.
