Victory Investment Grade Convertible Fund Summary

Investment Objective

The Victory Investment Grade Convertible Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide a high level of current income together with long-term capital appreciation.

Fund Fees and Expenses

The table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and examples below. 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 the Victory Funds. More information about these and other discounts is available in Investing with the Victory Funds 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 financial intermediary.

Shareholder Fees
(paid directly from your investment)

	Class A	Class I
Maximum Sales Charge (Load) Imposed on Purchases (as a percentage of offering price)	2.25%	None
Maximum Deferred Sales Charge (Load) (as a percentage of the lower of purchase or sale price)	None1	None

Annual Fund Operating Expenses
(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)

Management Fees	0.75%	0.75%
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees	0.25%	0.00%
Other Expenses	0.26%	0.20%

A contingent deferred sales charge of 0.75% may be imposed on Class A shares with respect to purchases of $250,000 or more that are redeemed within 18 months of purchase. For additional information, see the section titled Choosing a Share Class.

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 1.39% of the Fund's Class A shares through at least October 31, 2027. 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 Investment Grade Convertible Fund Summary

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. 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	$350	$616	$901	$1,713
Class I	$97	$303	$525	$1,166

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 rate may 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 27% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategy

The Adviser pursues the Fund’s investment objective by investing primarily in securities convertible into common stocks, such as convertible bonds, convertible notes, and convertible preferred stocks. The Fund may invest in equity securities of foreign companies traded on U.S. exchanges, including American Depositary Receipts and Global Depositary Receipts (“ADRs” and “GDRs”).

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of borrowings, if any, for investment purposes) in investment-grade securities that are convertible into common stock, and synthetic convertible securities, which are derivative positions composed of two or more securities with investment characteristics that, when taken together, resemble those of traditional convertible securities.These investment-grade securities are those that are rated within the four highest rating categories assigned by a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization, or if unrated, are securities that the Adviser determines to be of comparable or equivalent quality.

The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in below-investment-grade securities (sometimes referred to as “junk bonds”) if the Adviser believes that the positive qualities of the security justify the potential risk. These securities are rated Ba, B, Caa, or lower by Moody’s and BB, B, CCC, or lower by S&P. The Fund also may purchase unrated securities with similar characteristics.

The Adviser employs a bottom-up research process by identifying convertible securities that possess strong underlying equity potential, high quality financial characteristics and the opportunity for solid total return over a 12-18 month time horizon. The Adviser may sell a security when the underlying equity valuation changes due to a price change or change in fundamentals of the company, the underlying fixed income component has deteriorated or the convertible characteristics have changed.

As a result of the Adviser’s investment process, the Fund’s investments may be focused in one or more economic sectors from time to time, including the financials sector.

Victory Investment Grade Convertible Fund Summary

Principal Risks

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

Convertible Securities Risk — Convertible securities rank senior to the issuer's common stock, but may be subordinate to senior debt obligations. In part, the total return for a convertible security may depend upon the performance of the underlying stock into which it can be converted. Synthetic convertibles may respond differently to market fluctuations than traditional convertible securities. They are also subject to counterparty risk.

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.

Interest Rate Risk — Interest rates may rise or the rate of inflation may increase, impacting the value of investments in fixed income securities. A debt issuer’s credit quality may be downgraded or an issuer may default. Interest rates may fluctuate due to changes in governmental fiscal policy initiatives and resulting market reaction to those initiatives.

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.

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.

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.

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

Victory Investment Grade Convertible Fund Summary

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.

Large Shareholder Risk — Certain large shareholders, including other funds advised by the Adviser, may from time to time own a substantial amount of the Fund’s shares. 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, and/or accelerate the realization of taxable income and cause the Fund to make taxable distributions to its shareholders earlier than the Fund otherwise would have. In addition, under certain circumstances, non-redeeming shareholders may be treated as receiving a disproportionately large taxable distribution during or with respect to such tax year. To the extent a larger shareholder 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.

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. 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. Dividends and interest received by the Fund and capital gains recognized by the Fund may give rise to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries and may decrease the Fund’s return.

Sector Focus Risk — To the extent the Fund focuses on one or more sectors, such as the financials 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.

◼

Financials Sector Risk — Companies in the financials sector are subject to extensive government regulation, which can 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.

Victory Investment Grade Convertible Fund Summary

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. 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 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.

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 (including before taxes). 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.

Management of the Fund

Investment Adviser

Victory Capital Management Inc. (the “Adviser”) serves as the Fund’s investment adviser. The portfolio managers jointly and primarily responsible for day-to-day management of the Fund are members of the Adviser's Victory Income Investors investment franchise.

Victory Investment Grade Convertible Fund Summary

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 (such as a bank), 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.
