Victory Market Neutral Income Fund
Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of the Victory Funds' shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from the Victory Funds or from your financial intermediary, such as a broker-dealer or bank. Instead, the reports will be made available on www.VictoryFunds.com, and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report. If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change, and you need not take any action.
You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from the Victory Funds or your financial intermediary electronically sooner than January 1, 2021 by notifying your financial intermediary directly or, if you are a direct investor, by calling 800-539-3863 or by sending an e-mail request to TA.Processing@FISGlobal.com.
You may elect to receive all future reports in paper free of charge. If you invest through a financial intermediary, you can contact your financial intermediary to request that you continue to receive paper copies of your reports. If you invest directly with the Victory Funds, you can call 800-539-3863 or send an e-mail request to TA.Processing@FISGlobal.com. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all Victory Funds you hold directly or through your financial intermediary.

1. Organization:
Victory Portfolios II (the "Trust") was organized on April 11, 2012 as a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 20 funds, 18 of which are exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with no par value. Each Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.
The accompanying financial statements are those of the following two Funds (collectively, the "Funds" and individually, a "Fund").
Funds (Legal Name) | | Funds (Short Name) | | Investment Share Classes Offered | |
Victory US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd Index Fund | | US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd Index Fund | | Classes A, C and I | |
Victory Market Neutral Income Fund | | Market Neutral Income Fund | | Classes A, C and I | |
Each class of shares of a Fund has substantially identical rights and privileges except with respect to sales charges, fees paid under distribution plans, expenses allocable exclusively to each class of shares, voting rights on matters solely affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange privilege of each class of shares.
Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect that risk of loss to be remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Funds follow the specialized accounting and reporting requirements under GAAP that are applicable to investment companies.
Investment Valuation:
The Funds record investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Funds' investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities or interest rates applicable to those securities, etc.)
• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds' own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuation techniques are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with entering into those investments.

Portfolio securities listed or traded on securities exchanges, including American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") and Rights, are valued at the closing price on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, if available, or at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price. If there have been no sales for that day on the exchange or system, then a security is valued at the last available bid quotation on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or an exchange on which they are traded. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Options are generally valued at the last quoted sales price or, in the absence of a sale, at the mean between the current bid and ask prices. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Investments for which there are no such quotations, or for which quotations do not appear reliable, are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Trust's Board of Trustees ("Board"). These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, based on the observability of inputs used to determine the fair value.
In accordance with procedures adopted by the Board, fair value pricing may be used if events materially affecting the value of foreign securities occur between the time the exchange on which they are traded closes and the time the Funds' net asset values are calculated. The Victory Market Neutral Income Fund uses a systematic valuation model, provided daily by an independent third party to fair value their international equity securities. These valuations are considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
A summary of the valuations as of December 31, 2018, based upon the three levels defined above, is included in the table below while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed in the Schedules of Portfolio Investments:

^ Other Financial instruments include any derivative instruments not reflected in the Schedules of Portfolio Investments as Investment Securities, such as futures contracts and written options. These instruments are generally recorded in the financial statements at the unrealized gain or loss on the investment.
(a) Consists of all securities traded on U.S. securities exchanges (including ADRs) and all securities listed under Canada and Mexico.
For the six months ended December 31, 2018, there were no Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value.
Investment Companies:
Open-End Funds:
The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the board of directors of the underlying funds.
Derivative Instruments:
Foreign Exchange Currency Contracts:
The Funds may enter into foreign exchange currency contracts to convert U.S. dollars to and from various foreign currencies. A foreign exchange currency contract is an obligation by a Fund to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date at a price (in U.S. dollars) set at the time of the contract. The Funds do not engage in "cross-currency" foreign exchange contracts (i.e., contracts to purchase or sell one foreign currency in exchange for another foreign currency). The Funds' foreign exchange currency contracts might be considered spot contracts (typically a contract of one week or less) or forward contracts (typically a contract term over one week). A spot contract is entered into for purposes of hedging against foreign currency fluctuations relating to a specific portfolio transaction, such as the delay between a security transaction trade date and settlement date. Forward contracts are entered into for purposes of hedging portfolio holdings or concentrations of such holdings. Each foreign exchange currency contract is adjusted daily by the prevailing spot or forward rate of the underlying currency, and any appreciation or depreciation is recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the contract settlement date, at which time the Fund records realized gains or losses equal to the difference between the value of a contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. A Fund could be exposed to risk if a counterparty is unable to meet the terms of a foreign exchange currency contract or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. In addition, the use of foreign exchange currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. As of December 31, 2018, the Funds had no open forward foreign exchange currency contracts.
44
Victory Portfolios II | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2018 | |
(Unaudited)
Futures Contracts:
The Funds may enter into contracts for the future delivery of securities or foreign currencies and futures contracts based on a specific security, class of securities, foreign currency or an index, and purchase or sell options on any such futures contracts. A futures contract on a securities index is an agreement obligating either party to pay, and entitling the other party to receive, while the contract is outstanding, cash payments based on the level of a specified securities index. No physical delivery of the underlying asset is made. A Fund may enter into futures contracts in an effort to hedge against market risks. The acquisition of put and call options on futures contracts will give the Fund the right (but not the obligation), for a specified price, to sell or to purchase the underlying futures contract, upon exercise of the option, at any time during the option period. Futures transactions involve brokerage costs and require the Fund to segregate assets to cover contracts that would require it to purchase securities or currencies. A good faith margin deposit, known as initial margin, of cash or government securities with a broker or custodian is required to initiate and maintain open positions in futures contracts. Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund based on the change in the market value of the position and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is closed out, at which time the gain or loss is realized. A Fund may lose the expected benefit of futures transactions if interest rates, exchange rates or securities prices change in an unanticipated manner. Such unanticipated changes may also result in lower overall performance than if the Fund had not entered into any futures transactions. In addition, the value of a Fund's futures positions may not prove to be perfectly or even highly correlated with the value of its portfolio securities or foreign currencies, limiting a Fund's ability to hedge effectively against interest rate, exchange rate and/or market risk and giving rise to additional risks. There is no assurance of liquidity in the secondary market for purposes of closing out futures positions. The collateral held by the Funds is presented on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities under Deposit with broker for futures contracts and written options.
Options Transactions:
The Funds may purchase or sell options to aid in hedging against equity price risk incurred in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. When a Fund writes a call option, an amount equal to the premium received is included as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a written call option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized for the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. As a writer of an option, the Fund has no control over whether the option will be exercised and, as a result, retains the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.
The Funds may purchase put and call options. Put options are purchased to hedge against a decline in the value of securities held in the Fund's portfolio. If such a decline occurs, the put options will permit the Fund to sell the securities underlying such options at the exercise price, or to close out the options at a profit. The premium paid for a put or call option plus any transaction costs will reduce the benefit, if any, realized by the Fund upon exercise of the option, and, unless the price of the underlying security rises or declines sufficiently, the option may expire worthless to the Fund. In addition, in the event that the price of the security in connection with which an option was purchased moves in a direction favorable to the Fund, the benefits realized by the Fund as a result of such favorable movement will be reduced by the amount of the premium paid for the option and related transaction costs. Written and purchased options are non-income producing securities. With purchased options, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Fund since these options are exchange-traded. The collateral held by the Funds is presented on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities under Deposits with brokers for futures contracts and written options.
Offsetting of Financial Assets and Derivatives Assets:
The Funds are subject to various Master Netting Arrangements, which govern the terms of certain transactions with select counterparties. The Master Netting Arrangements allow the Funds to close
45
Victory Portfolios II | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2018 | |
(Unaudited)
out and net total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default with respect to all the transactions governed under a single agreement with a counterparty. The Master Netting Arrangements also specify collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Under the Master Netting Arrangements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions (net of existing collateral already in place) governed under the relevant Master Netting Arrangement with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specified threshold depending on the counterparty and the type of Master Netting Arrangement.
The table below, as of December 31, 2018, discloses both gross information and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and instruments and transactions that are subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement as well as amounts related to collateral held at clearing brokers and counterparties.

Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.
Withholding taxes on interest, dividends and gains as a result of certain investments in ADRs by the Funds have been provided for in accordance with each investment's applicable country's tax rules and rates.
Securities Lending:
The Trust has entered into a Master Securities Lending Agreement ("MSLA") with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank" or the "Agent"). Under the terms of the MSLA, the Funds may lend securities to certain broker-dealers and banks in exchange for collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non-U.S. securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls associated with increases in the valuation of the securities loaned are adjusted the next business day. The collateral can be received in the form of cash collateral and/or non-cash collateral. Non-cash collateral can include U.S. Government Securities, letters of credit and certificates of deposit. The cash collateral is invested in short-term instruments or cash equivalents as noted in the Funds' Schedules of Portfolio Investments. The Trust does not have effective control of the non-cash collateral and therefore it is not disclosed in the Funds' Schedules of Portfolio Investments. The Funds continue to benefit from interest or dividends on the securities loaned and may also earn a return from the collateral. The Funds pay various fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral. The Funds pay the Agent fees based on the investment income received from securities lending activities.

Securities lending income is disclosed on the Statements of Operations. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Funds could experience a delay in recovering their securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them.
Securities lending transactions are entered into by a Fund under the MSLA, which permits the Fund, under certain circumstances such as an event of default, to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts receivable from the counterparty to create a net payment due to or from the Fund.
The following table is a summary of the Funds' securities lending transactions which are subject to offset under the MSLA as of December 31, 2018. These transactions are accounted for as secured borrowings with an overnight and continuous contractual maturity for cash collateral, and greater than overnight and continuous contractual maturity for non-cash collateral.
| | Gross Amount of Recognized Assets (Value of | | Value of Cash | | Value of Non-cash Collateral Received by Maturity | | | |

Foreign Currency Translations:
The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities of a Fund denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the date of the transactions. The Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are disclosed as net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments and foreign currency translations on the Statements of Operations. Any realized gains or losses from these fluctuations are disclosed as net realized gains or losses from investment transactions and foreign currency translations on the Statements of Operations.
Foreign Taxes:
The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes related to foreign income received (a portion of which may be reclaimable), capital gains on the sale of securities, and certain foreign currency transactions. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest.
Dividends to Shareholders:
Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly for each Fund. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually from each Fund.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss, distribution reclassification, and deemed distribution due to shareholder redemptions), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions

(Unaudited)
of capital. Net investment losses incurred by a Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Federal Income Taxes:
It is the policy of each Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Funds have a tax year end of June 30.
Management of the Funds has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
Allocations:
Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to the Fund, while expenses which are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust, or jointly with an affiliated trust, are allocated among the respective funds in the Trust and/or affiliated trust based upon net assets or another appropriate basis.
Income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses such as transfer agent fees, state registration fees, printing and 12b-1 fees), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets on the date income is earned or expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred.
Affiliated Securities Transactions:
Pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act, the Funds may engage in securities transactions with affiliated investment companies and advisory accounts managed by the Adviser and any applicable sub-adviser. Any such purchase or sale transaction must be effected without brokerage commission or other remuneration, except for customary transfer fees. The transaction must be effected at the current market price, which is either the security's last sale price on an exchange or, if there are no transactions in the security that day, at the average of the highest bid and lowest asked price. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Funds did not engage in any Rule 17a-7 transactions under the 1940 Act.
3. Purchases and Sales of Securities:
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) for the six months ended December 31, 2018 were as follows:
Fund | | Purchases | | Sales | |
US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd Index Fund | | $ | 23,014,425 | | | $ | 36,306,339 | | |
Market Neutral Income Fund | | | 24,541,893 | | | | 18,635,892 | | |
For the six months ended December 31, 2018, there were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government Securities.
4. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties:
Investment advisory services are provided to the Funds by Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or the "Adviser"), a New York corporation registered as an investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Adviser is a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Victory Capital Holdings, Inc., a publicly traded Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Victory Capital Operating, LLC.

Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. ("Citi"), an affiliate of Citibank, N.A., acts as sub-administrator and sub-fund accountant to the Funds pursuant to a Sub-Administration and Sub-Fund Accounting Services Agreement between VCM and Citi. VCM pays Citi a fee for providing these services. The Trust reimburses VCM and Citi for all of their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing these services.
FIS Investor Services, LLC ("FIS") serves as the Funds' transfer agent. Under the Transfer Agent Agreement, the Trust pays FIS a fee for its services and reimburses FIS for all of their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing these services.
The Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO") is an employee of the Adviser, which pays the compensation of the CCO and his support staff. The Trust has entered into an Agreement to provide compliance services with the Adviser, pursuant to which the Adviser furnishes its compliance personnel, including the services of the CCO, and other resources reasonably necessary to provide the Trust with compliance oversight services related to the design, administration and oversight of a compliance program for the Trust in accordance with Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. Funds in the Trust, Victory Variable Insurance Funds, Victory Institutional Funds and Victory Portfolios (collectively, the "Victory Funds Complex"), in the aggregate, compensate the Adviser for these services.
The Victory Funds Complex pays an annual retainer to each Independent Trustee, plus an additional annual retainer to the Chairman of the Board. The aggregate amount of the fees and expenses of the Independent Trustees are allocated amongst all the funds in the Victory Funds Complex and are presented in the Statements of Operations.
Shearman & Sterling LLP provides legal services to the Trust.
Victory Capital Advisers, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as distributor for the continuous offering of the shares of the Funds pursuant to a Distribution Agreement between the Distributor and the Trust.
Pursuant to the Distribution and Service Plans adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Distributor may receive a monthly distribution and service fee, at an annual rate of up to 0.25% and 1.00% of the average daily net assets for Class A and Class C Shares of each of the respective Funds. The distribution and service fees paid to the Distributor may be used by the Distributor to pay for activities primarily intended to result in the sale of Class A or Class C Shares of the Funds.
In addition, the Distributor is entitled to receive commissions on sales of Class A Shares of the Funds. For the six months ended December 31, 2018, the Distributor received approximately $2,130 from commissions earned on sales of Class A Shares. A $15 redemption fee may be charged for redemptions made by wire. The redemption fee is paid directly to and retained by the Funds, and is designed to deter excessive short-term trading and to offset brokerage commissions, market impact and other costs that may be associated with short-term money movement in and out of the Funds.

The Adviser has entered into expense limitation agreements with certain Funds. Under the terms of the agreements, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of a Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amount will be the liability of the Adviser. Interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with GAAP, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of a Fund's business are excluded from the expense limits. As of December 31, 2018, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) are as follows:
| | In effect July 1, 2018 until October 31, 2019 | |
| | Class A Shares | | Class C Shares | | Class I Shares | |
US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd Index Fund | | | 0.99 | % | | | 1.74 | % | | | 0.74 | % | |
Market Neutral Income Fund | | | 0.75 | % | | | 1.50 | % | | | 0.40 | % | |
The Funds have agreed to repay fees and expenses that were waived or reimbursed by the Adviser for a period up to three fiscal years after such waiver or reimbursement was made to the extent such payments or repayments would not cause the expenses of a class to exceed the original expense limitation in place at the time of the waiver or reimbursement or any expense limitation agreement in place at the time of repayment. Amounts repaid to the Adviser during the six months ended, if any, are reflected on the Statements of Operations as "Recoupment of prior expenses waived/reimbursed by Adviser".
As of December 31, 2018, the following amounts are available to be repaid to the Adviser.
Fund | | Expires 6/30/19 | | Expires 6/30/20 | | Expires 6/30/21 | | Expires 6/30/22 | | Total | |
US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd Index Fund | | $ | 619,681 | | | $ | 534,407 | | | $ | 283,259 | | | $ | 147,637 | | | $ | 1,584,984 | | |

The Adviser may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Funds in maintaining competitive expense ratios. Voluntary waivers and reimbursements applicable to the Funds are not available to be recouped at a future time. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the six months ended December 31, 2018.
Certain officers and/or interested trustees of the Funds are also officers and/or employees of the Adviser, Administrator, Fund Accountant, Sub-Administrator, Sub-Fund Accountant, and Legal.
5. Risks:
Each Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
An investment in the Funds' shares represents an indirect investment in the securities owned by the Funds, some of which will be traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter markets. The value of the securities in which the Funds invest, like other market investments, may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. The value of the securities in which the Funds invest may affect the value of the Funds' shares. An investment in the Funds' shares at any point in time may be worth less than the original investment, even after taking into account the reinvestment of the Funds' distributions.
The Market Neutral Income Fund invests in securities of foreign issuers in various countries. Investing on an international basis involves certain risks not involved in domestic investments including the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets, imposition of currency exchange controls or restrictions on the repatriation of foreign currency, confiscatory taxation, political or financial instability and diplomatic developments, which could affect the value of a Fund's investments in certain foreign countries. Governments of many countries have exercised and continue to exercise substantial influence over many aspects of the private sector through the ownership or control of many companies, including some of the largest in these countries. As a result, government actions in the future could have a significant effect on economic conditions which may adversely affect prices of certain portfolio securities. There is also generally less government supervision and regulation of stock exchanges, brokers and listed companies than in the U.S. Dividends or interest on, or proceeds from the sale of, foreign securities
51

may be subject to foreign withholding taxes, and special U.S. tax considerations may apply. Moreover, foreign economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resource self-sufficiency and balance of payments position. The Schedule of Portfolio Investments includes information on each Fund's holdings, including industry and/or geographic composition, as relevant.
The Funds will be subject to credit risk with respect to the amount each expects to receive from counterparties for financial instruments entered into by the Funds. The Funds may be negatively impacted if a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties. The Funds may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding and the Funds may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. The Funds typically enter into transactions with counterparties whose credit ratings are investment grade, as determined by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or, if unrated, judged by the Adviser to be of comparable quality.
6. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:
Line of Credit:
The Victory Funds Complex participates in a short-term, demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex may borrow up to $250 million, of which $100 million is committed and $150 million is uncommitted. $40 million of the Line of Credit is reserved for use by the Victory Floating Rate Fund, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with that Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the agreement is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs, including redemption requests that might otherwise require the untimely disposition of securities. The current agreement was amended on July 27, 2018 with a new termination date of July 26, 2019. Citibank receives an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $100 million for providing the Line of Credit. For the six months ended December 31, 2018, Citibank earned approximately $76,000 in commitment fees from the Victory Funds Complex. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex pays a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest on amounts borrowed. Interest accrued by each Fund during the period is presented on the Statements of Operations under Interest expense on line of credit.
The Funds did not utilize or participate in the Line of Credit during the six months ended December 31, 2018.
Interfund Lending:
The Trust and Adviser rely on an exemptive order granted by the SEC in March 2017 (the "Order"), permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the "Facility"). The Facility allows each Fund to directly borrow money to or from any other Victory Fund relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are allowed for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund's borrowing restrictions. The interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. Interest accrued by each Fund during the period is presented on the Statements of Operations under Interest expense on interfund lending.
The average borrowing for the days outstanding and average interest rate for each Fund during the six months ended December 31, 2018 were as follows:
Fund | | Borrower or Lender | | Amount Outstanding at December 31, 2018 | | Average Borrowing* | | Days Borrowing Outstanding | | Average Interest Rate* | | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | |
US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd Index Fund | | Borrower | | $ | — | | | $ | 191,500 | | | | 2 | | | | 2.95 | % | | $ | 254,000 | | |
* For the six months ended December 31, 2018, based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding.

7. Federal Income Tax Information:
The tax character of distributions paid and the tax basis of current components of accumulated earnings (deficit) will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending June 30, 2019.
The tax character of distributions paid during the most recent tax year ended June 30, 2018, were as follows (total distributions paid may differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because, for tax purposes, dividends are recognized when actually paid):
| | Year Ended June 30, 2018 | |
| | Distributions paid from | | | | | |
| | Ordinary Income | | Net Long-Term Capital Gains | | Total Taxable Distributions | | Total Distributions Paid | |
US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd Index Fund | | $ | 2,489,677 | | | $ | 9,161,948 | | | $ | 11,651,625 | | | $ | 11,651,625 | | |
Market Neutral Income Fund | | | 1,577,531 | | | | — | | | | 1,577,531 | | | | 1,577,531 | | |
As of the most recent tax year ended June 30, 2018, the components of accumulated earnings/(deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains | | Accumulated Earnings | | Accumulated Capital and Other Losses | | Qualified Late-Year Losses* | | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)** | | Total Accumulated Earnings (Deficit) | |
US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd Index Fund | | $ | 843,699 | | | $ | 8,193,780 | | | $ | 9,037,479 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 28,176,828 | | | $ | 37,214,307 | | |
Market Neutral Income Fund | | | — | | | | — | | | | — | | | | (3,218,501 | ) | | | (14,933 | ) | | | 1,258,836 | | | | (1,974,598 | ) | |
* Qualified late-year losses are comprised of post-October capital losses incurred after October 31, 2017, and certain late-year ordinary losses. Late-year ordinary losses represent ordinary losses incurred after December 31, 2017 and specified losses incurred after October 31, 2017. These losses are deemed to arise on the first day of the Fund's next taxable year.
** The difference between the book-basis and tax-basis of unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
As of the most recent tax year ended June 30, 2018, the following Funds had net capital loss carryforwards ("CLCFs") as summarized in the tables below. CLCFs subject to expiration are applied as short-term capital loss regardless of whether the originating capital loss was short-term or long-term. CLCFs that are not subject to expiration are applied as either short-term or long-term depending on the originating capital loss and must be utilized before those that are subject to expiration.
CLCFs subject to expiration:
| | Short-Term Amount | | Long-Term Amount | | Total | |
Market Neutral Income Fund | | $ | — | | | $ | 3,218,501 | | | $ | 3,218,501 | | |

8. Fund Ownership:
Ownership of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates presumptions of control of the fund, under section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of December 31, 2018, the shareholders listed below held more than 25% of the shares outstanding of the Funds and may be deemed to control those Funds.
Shareholder | | Fund | | Percent | |

Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. | | Market Neutral Income Fund | | | 70.8 | % | |
9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
In October 2016, the SEC released its Final Rules on Investment Company Reporting Modernization (the "Rules"). The Rules introduced a new regulatory reporting form for investment companies — Form N-PORT. The Funds' compliance date for Form N-PORT was June 1, 2018, and the Funds will make their initial filing with the SEC on Form N-PORT for the period ending March 31, 2019. Effective with the period ended June 30, 2018, the Funds were required to maintain, and make available to the SEC upon request, the information required to be included in Form N-PORT. Form N-PORT will replace Form N-Q filings effective with the requirement to file the Form N-PORT with the SEC for the period ending March 31, 2019. The Funds' adoption of this amendment has no effect on the Funds' net assets or results of operations.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurements" ("ASU 2018-13"). This update makes certain removals from, changes to and additions to existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 does not change fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. ASU 2018-13 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. As permitted, the Funds have early adopted ASU 2018-13 with the financial statements prepared as of December 31, 2018.
In August 2018, the SEC adopted amendments to certain financial statement disclosure requirements to conform them to GAAP for investment companies. These amendments made certain disclosure requirements effective under Regulation S-X. The Funds' adoption of these amendments, effective with the financial statements prepared as of December 31, 2018 had no effect on the Funds' net assets or results of operations. As a result of adopting these amendments, the distributions to shareholders in the June 30, 2018 Statements of Changes in Net Assets presented herein have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation, which includes all distributions to each class of shareholders, other than tax basis return of capital distributions, in one line item per share class. Distributions to shareholders for the year ended June 30, 2018 from net investment income and net realized gains in the Fund were as follows:
| | US 500 Enhanced Volatility WTD Index Fund | | Market Neutral Income fund | |
Distributions to Shareholders: | |
From net investment income: | | | | | |
Class A Shares | | $ | (261,664 | ) | | $ | (729,949 | ) | |
Class C Shares | | | (5,831 | ) | | | (9,927 | ) | |
Class I Shares | | | (301,423 | ) | | | (837,655 | ) | |
From net realized gains: | | | | | |
Class A Shares | | | (3,213,210 | ) | | | — | | |
Class C Shares | | | (5,087,982 | ) | | | — | | |
Class I Shares | | | (2,781,515 | ) | | | — | | |
10. Subsequent Events:
The Funds have evaluated the need for additional disclosures or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued. Based on this evaluation, there were no subsequent events to report that would have a material impact on the Funds' financial statements.

Proxy Voting and Form N-Q Information
Proxy Voting:
Information regarding the policies and procedures that each Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling 800-539-3863. The information is also included in the Funds' Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Information relating to how the Funds voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve months ended June 30 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments:
The Trust expects to file a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT beginning March 1, 2019. Prior to that date, the Trust has filed a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. Forms N-PORT and Forms N-Q are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Expense Examples
As a shareholder of the Funds, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018.
The Actual Expense figures in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
The Hypothetical Expense figures in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Considerations of the Board in Continuing the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement")
The Board approved the Agreement on behalf of each of the Funds at a meeting, which was called for that purpose, on December 5, 2018. The Board also considered information relating to the Funds and the Agreement provided throughout the year and, more specifically, at a meeting on October 23, 2018. In considering whether to approve the Agreement, the Board requested, and the Adviser provided, information that the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to reach its conclusions. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, evaluated this information along with other information obtained throughout the year and was advised by legal counsel to the Funds and by independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. In addition, in 2017 the Independent Trustees, through their counsel, retained an independent consultant to assist with a review of the overall process for conducting the annual review of these advisory arrangements. The Board considered each Fund's advisory fee, expense ratio and investment performance as significant factors in determining whether the Agreement should be continued. In considering whether the compensation paid to the Adviser was fair and reasonable, the Board also evaluated, among other things, the following factors:
• The requirements of the Funds for the services provided by the Adviser;
• The nature, quality and extent of the services provided and expected to be provided;
• The performance of the Funds as compared to comparable funds;
• The fees payable for the services and whether the fee arrangements provided for economies of scale that would benefit Fund shareholders as the Funds grow;
• Whether the fee would be sufficient to enable the Adviser to attract and retain experienced personnel and continue to provide quality services to the Funds;
• Fees paid by other clients of the Adviser whose accounts are managed in a similar investment style and any differences in the services provided to the other clients compared to those provided to the Funds;
• Total expenses of each Fund, taking into consideration any distribution or shareholder servicing fees;
* Management's commitment to operating the Funds at competitive expense levels;
• The profitability of the Adviser (as reflected by comparing fees earned against an estimate of the Adviser's costs) with respect to the Adviser's relationship with the Funds;
• Research and other service benefits received by the Adviser obtained through payment of client commissions for securities transactions;
• Other benefits received by the Adviser, and its affiliates, including revenues paid to the Adviser, or its affiliates, by the Funds for administration and fund accounting services, and distribution;
• The capabilities and financial condition of the Adviser;
• Current economic and industry trends; and
• The historical relationship between each Fund and the Adviser.
The Board reviewed each Fund's current management fee, comprised of the advisory fee plus the administrative services fee paid to the Adviser, in the context of the Adviser's profitability of each Fund individually. In addition, the Board compared each Fund's gross management fee and total operating expense ratio on a net and gross basis, taking into consideration any distribution or shareholder servicing fees, with the median gross management fee and median expense ratio of a universe of comparable mutual funds compiled by FUSE Research Network, LLC ("FUSE") and a peer group of funds with similar investment strategies selected by FUSE from the universe. The Board reviewed the factors and methodology used by FUSE in the selection of each Fund's peer group, including FUSE's selection of a broad universe of funds using the standard Retail Morningstar Categories, the more specific universe of comparable funds, and peer groups of funds with comparable investment strategies and asset levels, among other factors. The Board also reviewed any changes to FUSE's methodology as compared to the prior year, including as a result of input from the Adviser, if any. The Board noted that none of the advisory fee arrangements for the Funds included breakpoints, which are generally viewed as a method by which the investment adviser shares any economies of scale with a fund as a fund grows. The Board also considered the Adviser's commitment to limit expenses as discussed in more detail below.
61
Victory Portfolios II | | Supplemental Information — continued December 31, 2018 | |
(Unaudited)
The Board found that the gross annual management fee paid by each Fund was within the range of management fees paid by each Fund's respective peer group. The Board also found that each Fund's Class A net annual expense ratio, taking into account any shareholder servicing or distribution fees, was reasonable as compared with each Fund's respective peer group. The Board considered the Adviser's contractual agreement with each Fund to waive its fees and reimburse expenses of certain classes for a specified period of time, as described in the Fund's prospectus.
The Board reviewed each Fund's performance over one- and three-year periods against the performance of the Fund's selected peer group and benchmark index. The Board recognized that the performance of the Funds and the peer group funds are net of expenses, while the performance of the benchmark index is gross returns. The Board considered the additional resources that the Adviser has committed to enhance portfolio analysis, compliance and trading systems.
The Board reviewed various other specific factors with respect to each Fund, as described below. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not rank the importance of any particular information or factor considered and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors.
US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd Index Fund
Noting that the Fund commenced operations in 2012, the Board compared the Fund's Class A performance for the one- and three-year periods ended June 30, 2018, to that of the median performance of the peer group for the same periods and the benchmark index for the one-year period (benchmark index data was not available for the three-year period). The Board noted that the Fund's investment objective is to track its benchmark index before fees and expenses. The Board recognized that the performance of the Fund is net of expenses, while the performance of the benchmark index is gross returns and as a result, the Fund generally will underperform its benchmarks due to fees and expenses. The Board also considered the Fund's tracking error as a factor in evaluating performance. The Board considered the fact that the Fund underperformed the benchmark index for each of the periods reviewed, outperformed the peer group for the three- and five-year periods, and matched the peer group for the one-year period.
Having considered, among other things: (1) the Fund's management fee compared to comparable mutual funds; (2) the Fund's total expense ratio compared to comparable mutual funds; (3) that the Adviser's willingness to limit the expenses of certain classes for a period of time would provide stability to the Fund's expenses for those share classes during that period; and (4) the Fund's performance during the periods reviewed, the Board concluded that the Agreement continued to be in the best interests of the Fund's shareholders.
Market Neutral Income Fund
Noting that the Fund commenced operations in 2012, the Board compared the Fund's Class A performance for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2018, to that of the median performance of the peer group and benchmark index for the same periods and considered the fact that the Fund outperformed the benchmark index for all of the periods reviewed, outperformed the peer group for the one- and three-year periods, and underperformed the peer group for the five-year period.
Having considered, among other things: (1) the Fund's management fee compared to comparable mutual funds; (2) the Fund's total expense ratio compared to comparable mutual funds; (3) that the Adviser's willingness to limit the expenses of certain classes for a period of time would provide stability to the Fund's expenses for those share classes during that period; and (4) the Fund's performance during the periods reviewed, the Board concluded that the Agreement continued to be in the best interests of the Fund's shareholders.

Conclusion
Based on its review of the information requested and provided, and following extended discussions, the Board determined that the Agreement, on behalf of the Funds discussed above, was consistent with the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders, and the Board unanimously approved the Agreement, on behalf of each Fund, for an additional annual period on the basis of the foregoing review and discussions and the following considerations, among others:
• The fairness and reasonableness of the investment advisory fee payable to the Adviser under the Agreement in light of the investment advisory services provided, the costs of these services, the profitability of the Adviser's relationship with the Fund and the comparability of the fee paid to the fees paid by other investment companies;
• The nature, quality and extent of the investment advisory services provided by the Adviser;
• The Adviser's entrepreneurial commitment to the management of the Funds and the creation of a broad-based family of funds, which could entail a substantial commitment of the Adviser's resources to the successful operation of the Funds;
• The Adviser's representations regarding its staffing and capabilities to manage the Funds, including the retention of personnel with relevant portfolio management experience;
• The Adviser's efforts to enhance investment results by, among other things, developing quality portfolio management teams; and
• The overall high quality of the personnel, operations, financial condition, investment management capabilities, methodologies and performance of the Adviser.

1. Organization:
Victory Portfolios II (the "Trust") was organized on April 11, 2012 as a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 20 funds, 18 of which are exchange-traded funds, and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with no par value. Each Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.
The accompanying financial statements are those of the following 14 Funds (collectively, the "Funds" and individually, a "Fund").

Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect that risk of loss to be remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC ("Exchange"). The Funds issue and redeem shares of a Fund ("Shares") at net asset value ("NAV") only in aggregations of 50,000 Shares (each a "Creation Unit"). Creation Units are issued and redeemed in exchange for a basket of securities included in the respective Fund's Index (the "Deposit Securities"), and/or with the deposit of a specified cash payment (the "Cash Component"), plus a transaction fee. Shares trade on the Exchange at market prices that may be below, at, or above NAV. Shares of a Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions ("Authorized Participants"). An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Most retail investors do not qualify as Authorized Participants nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they are unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from a Fund. In addition, shares
170
Victory Portfolios II | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2018 | |
(Unaudited)
may be issued in advance of receipt of Deposit Securities subject to various conditions, including a requirement to maintain on deposit with the Trust cash equal to up to 105% of the market value of the missing Deposit Securities. In each instance of such cash creations or redemptions, transaction fees may be imposed and may be higher than the transaction fees associated with in-kind creations or redemptions.
Each Fund may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, with no par value. Shares of each Fund have equal rights and privileges. A purchase (i.e., creation) transaction fee is imposed for the transfer and other transactional costs associated with the purchase of Creation Units. In addition, a variable fee may be charged on all cash transactions or substitutes for Creation Units. Variable fees received by each Fund are displayed in the Capital Share Transaction section of the Statements of Changes in Net Assets as an increase to Paid-In-Capital.
The Transaction Fees for each Fund are listed below:
| | Fee for In-Kind and Cash Purchases and Redemptions | | Maximum Additional Variable Charge for Cash Purchases and Redemptions* | |

* As a percentage of the amount invested.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Funds follow the specialized accounting and reporting requirements under GAAP that are applicable to investment companies.
Investment Valuation:
The Funds record investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Funds' investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
171
Victory Portfolios II | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2018 | |
(Unaudited)
• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities or interest rates applicable to those securities, etc.)
• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds' own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuation techniques are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with entering into those investments.
Portfolio securities listed or traded on securities exchanges, American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") and Rights, are valued at the closing price on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, if available, or at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price. If there have been no sales for that day on the exchange or system, then a security is valued at the last available bid quotation on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or an exchange on which they are traded. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or an exchange on which they are traded. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Investments for which there are no such quotations, or for which quotations do not appear reliable, are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Trust's Board of Trustees ("Board"). These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, based on the observability of inputs used to determine the fair value.
A summary of the valuations as of December 31, 2018, based upon the three levels defined above, is included in the table below while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed in the Schedules of Portfolio Investments:

Common Stocks | | $ | 1,843 | | | Market Comparables | | Discount | | | (95.7 | %) | | Any change to the discount would result in direct and proportional changes in the fair value of the security. | |
* Level 3 securities are typically valued by the Adviser, pursuant to fair valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.
Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"):
The Funds may invest in REITs which report information on the source of their distributions annually. REITs are pooled investment vehicles that invest primarily in income-producing real estate or real estate related loans or interests (such as mortgages). Certain distributions received from REITs during the year are recorded as realized gains or return of capital as estimated by the Funds or when such information becomes known.
Investment Companies:
The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the board of directors of the underlying funds.
Derivative Instruments:
Foreign Exchange Currency Contracts:
The Developed Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF, International Volatility Wtd ETF, International High Div Volatility Wtd ETF, Emerging Market Volatility Wtd ETF, and Emerging Market High Div Volatility Wtd ETF may enter into foreign exchange currency contracts to convert U.S. dollars to and from various foreign currencies. A foreign exchange currency contract is an obligation by a Fund to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date at a price (in U.S. dollars) set at the time of the contract. The Funds do not engage in "cross-currency" foreign exchange contracts (i.e., contracts to purchase or sell one foreign currency in exchange for another foreign currency). The Funds' foreign exchange currency contracts might be considered spot contracts (typically a contract of one week or less) or forward contracts (typically a contract term over one week). A spot contract is entered into for purposes of hedging against foreign currency fluctuations relating to a specific portfolio transaction, such as the delay between a security transaction trade date and settlement date. Forward contracts are entered into for purposes of hedging portfolio holdings or concentrations of such holdings. The Funds enter
175
Victory Portfolios II | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2018 | |
(Unaudited)
into foreign exchange currency contracts solely for spot or forward hedging purposes, and not for speculative purposes (i.e., the Funds do not enter into such contracts solely for the purpose of earning foreign currency gains). Each foreign exchange currency contract is adjusted daily by the prevailing spot or forward rate of the underlying currency, and any appreciation or depreciation is recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the contract settlement date, at which time the Fund records realized gains or losses equal to the difference between the value of a contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. A Fund could be exposed to risk if a counterparty is unable to meet the terms of a foreign exchange currency contract or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. In addition, the use of foreign exchange currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. As of December 31, 2018, the Funds had no open forward foreign exchange currency contracts.
Futures Contracts:
The Funds may enter into contracts for the future delivery of securities or foreign currencies and futures contracts based on a specific security, class of securities, foreign currency or an index, and purchase or sell options on any such futures contracts. A futures contract on a securities index is an agreement obligating either party to pay, and entitling the other party to receive, while the contract is outstanding, cash payments based on the level of a specified securities index. No physical delivery of the underlying asset is made. A Fund may enter into futures contracts in an effort to hedge against market risks. The acquisition of put and call options on futures contracts will give the Fund the right (but not the obligation), for a specified price, to sell or to purchase the underlying futures contract, upon exercise of the option, at any time during the option period. Futures transactions involve brokerage costs and require the Fund to segregate assets to cover contracts that would require it to purchase securities or currencies. A good faith margin deposit, known as initial margin, of cash or government securities with a broker or custodian is required to initiate and maintain open positions in futures contracts. Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund based on the change in the market value of the position and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is closed out, at which time the gain or loss is realized. A Fund may lose the expected benefit of futures transactions if interest rates, exchange rates or securities prices change in an unanticipated manner. Such unanticipated changes may also result in lower overall performance than if the Fund had not entered into any futures transactions. In addition, the value of a Fund's futures positions may not prove to be perfectly or even highly correlated with the value of its portfolio securities or foreign currencies, limiting a Fund's ability to hedge effectively against interest rate, exchange rate and/or market risk and giving rise to additional risks. There is no assurance of liquidity in the secondary market for purposes of closing out futures positions. The collateral held by the Funds is presented on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities under Deposit with broker for futures contracts.
As of December 31, 2018, the Funds entered into Futures Contracts primarily for the strategy of hedging or other purposes, including but not limited to, providing liquidity and equitizing cash.
Offsetting of Financial Assets and Derivatives Assets:
The Funds are subject to various Master Netting Arrangements, which govern the terms of certain transactions with select counterparties. The Master Netting Arrangements allow the Funds to close out and net total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default with respect to all the transactions governed under a single agreement with a counterparty. The Master Netting Arrangements also specify collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Under the Master Netting Arrangements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions (net of existing collateral already in place) governed under the relevant Master Netting Arrangement with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specified threshold depending on the counterparty and the type of Master Netting Arrangement.

Investment Transactions and Related Income:
Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.
Withholding taxes on interest, dividends and gains as a result of certain investments in ADRs by the Funds have been provided for in accordance with each investment's applicable country's tax rules and rates.
Securities Lending:
The Trust has entered into a Master Securities Lending Agreement ("MSLA") with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank" or the "Agent"). Under the terms of the MSLA, the Funds may lend securities to certain broker-dealers and banks in exchange for collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non-U.S. securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls associated with increases in the valuation of the securities loaned are adjusted the next business day. The collateral can be received in the form of cash collateral and/or non-cash collateral. Non-cash collateral can include U.S. Government Securities, letters of credit and certificates of deposit. The cash collateral is invested in short-term instruments or cash equivalents as noted in the Funds' Schedules of Portfolio Investments. The Trust does not have effective control of the non-cash collateral and therefore it is not disclosed in the Funds' Schedules of Portfolio Investments. The Funds continue to benefit from interest or dividends on the securities loaned and may also earn a return from the collateral. The Funds pay various fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral. The Funds pay the Agent fees based on the investment income received from securities lending activities. Securities lending income is disclosed on the Statements of Operations. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Funds could experience a delay in recovering their securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them.
Securities lending transactions are entered into by a Fund under the MSLA, which permits the Fund, under certain circumstances such as an event of default, to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts receivable from the counterparty to create a net payment due to or from the Fund.
The following table is a summary of the Funds' securities lending transactions which are subject to offset under the MSLA as of December 31, 2018. These transactions are accounted for as secured borrowings with an overnight and continuous contractual maturity for cash collateral, and greater than overnight and continuous contractual maturity for non-cash collateral.

Foreign Currency Translations:
The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities of a Fund denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the date of the transactions. The Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are disclosed as net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments and foreign currency translations on the Statements of Operations. Any realized gains or losses from these fluctuations are disclosed as net realized gains or losses from investment transactions and foreign currency translations on the Statements of Operations.
Foreign Taxes:
The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes related to foreign income received (a portion of which may be reclaimable), capital gains on the sale of securities, and certain foreign currency transactions. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest.
Dividends to Shareholders:
Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid monthly for the Funds. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually from each Fund.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss, distribution reclassification, and deemed distribution due to shareholder redemptions), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by a Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Federal Income Taxes:
It is the policy of each Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Funds have a tax year end of June 30.
Management of the Funds has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
Allocations:
Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to the Fund, while expenses which are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust, or jointly with an affiliated trust, are allocated among the respective funds in the Trust and/or affiliated trust based upon net assets or another appropriate basis.
Affiliated Securities Transactions:
Pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act, the Funds may engage in securities transactions with affiliated investment companies and advisory accounts managed by the Adviser and any applicable sub-adviser. Any such purchase or sale transaction must be effected without brokerage commission or other remuneration, except for customary transfer fees. The transaction must be effected at the current market price, which is either the security's last sale price on an exchange or, if there are no transactions in the security that day, at the average of the highest bid and lowest asked price. For the six months ended December 31, 2018, the Funds did not engage in any Rule 17a-7 transactions under the 1940 Act.

5. Risks:
Each Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
An investment in the Funds' shares represents an indirect investment in the securities owned by the Funds, some of which will be traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter markets. The value of the securities in which the Funds invest, like other market investments, may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. The value of the securities in which the Funds invest may affect the value of the Funds' shares. An investment in the Funds' shares at any point in time may be worth less than the original investment, even after taking into account the reinvestment of the Funds' distributions.
The Developed Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF, International Volatility Wtd ETF, Emerging Market Volatility Wtd ETF, International High Div Volatility Wtd ETF and Emerging Market High Div Volatility Wtd ETF invest in securities of foreign issuers in various countries. Investing on an international basis involves certain risks not involved in domestic investments including the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets, imposition of currency exchange controls or restrictions on the repatriation of foreign currency, confiscatory taxation, political or financial instability and diplomatic developments, which could affect the value of a Fund's investments in certain foreign countries. Governments of many countries have exercised and continue to exercise substantial influence over many aspects of the private sector through the ownership or control of many companies, including some of the largest in these countries. As a result, government actions in the future could have a significant effect on economic conditions which may adversely affect prices of certain portfolio securities. There is also generally less government supervision and regulation of stock exchanges, brokers and listed companies than in the U.S. Dividends or interest on, or proceeds from the sale of, foreign securities may be subject to foreign withholding taxes, and special U.S. tax considerations may apply. Moreover, foreign economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital re-investment, resource self-sufficiency and balance of payments

position. The Schedule of Portfolio Investments includes information on each Fund's holdings, including industry and/or geographic composition, as relevant.
The Funds will be subject to credit risk with respect to the amount each expects to receive from counterparties for financial instruments entered into by the Funds. The Funds may be negatively impacted if a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties. The Funds may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding and the Funds may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. The Funds typically enter into transactions with counterparties whose credit ratings are investment grade, as determined by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or, if unrated, judged by the Adviser to be of comparable quality.
6. Borrowing:
Line of Credit:
The Victory Funds Complex participates in a short-term, demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex may borrow up to $250 million, of which $100 million is committed and $150 million is uncommitted. $40 million of the Line of Credit is reserved for use by the Victory Floating Rate Fund, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with that Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the agreement is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs, including redemption requests that might otherwise require the untimely disposition of securities. The current agreement was amended on July 27, 2018 with a new termination date of July 26, 2019. Citibank receives an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $100 million for providing the Line of Credit. For the six months ended December 31, 2018, Citibank earned approximately $76,000 in commitment fees from the Victory Funds Complex. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex pays a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest on amounts borrowed. Interest accrued by each Fund during the period is presented on the Statements of Operations under Interest expense on line of credit.
The average loans for the days outstanding and average interest rate for each Fund during the six months ended December 31, 2018 were as follows:
Fund | | Amount Outstanding at December 31, 2018 | | Average Borrowing* | | Days Borrowing Outstanding | | Average Interest Rate* | | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | |
Developed Enhanced Volatility ETF | | $ | — | | | $ | 3,250,000 | | | | 2 | | | | 3.22 | % | | $ | 4,100,000 | | |

US Discovery Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF | | | — | | | | 20,650,000 | | | | 2 | | | | 3.30 | % | | | 40,000,000 | | |
* For the six months ended December 31, 2018, based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding.
7. Federal Income Tax Information:

* Under the current tax law, net investment losses realized after October 31 or December 31 of a Fund's fiscal year may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes.
** The difference between the book-basis and tax-basis of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
As of the most recent tax year ended June 30, 2018, the following Funds had net capital loss carry-forwards ("CLCFs") (no expiration) as summarized in the tables below. CLCFs subject to expiration are applied as short-term capital loss regardless of whether the originating capital loss was short-term or long-term. CLCFs that are not subject to expiration are applied as either short-term or long-term depending on the originating capital loss and must be utilized before those that are subject to expiration.

8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
In October 2016, the SEC released its Final Rules on Investment Company Reporting Modernization (the "Rules"). The Rules introduced a new regulatory reporting form for investment companies — Form N-PORT. The Funds' compliance date for Form N-PORT was June 1, 2018, and the Funds will make their initial filing with the SEC on Form N-PORT for the period ending March 31, 2019. Effective with the period ended June 30, 2018, the Funds were required to maintain, and make available to the SEC upon request, the information required to be included in Form N-PORT. Form N-PORT will replace Form N-Q filings effective with the requirement to file the Form N-PORT with the SEC for the period ending March 31, 2019. The Funds' adoption of this amendment has no effect on the Fund's net assets or results of operations.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurements" ("ASU 2018-13"). This update makes certain removals from, changes to and additions to existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 does not change fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. ASU 2018-13 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. As permitted, the Funds have early adopted ASU 2018-13 with the financial statements prepared as of December 31, 2018.
In August 2018, the SEC adopted amendments to certain financial statement disclosure requirements to conform them to GAAP for investment companies. These amendments made certain disclosure requirements effective under Regulation S-X. The Funds' adoption of these amendments, effective with the financial statements prepared as of December 31, 2018 had no effect on the Funds' net assets or results of operations. As a result of adopting these amendments, the distributions to shareholders in

Proxy Voting and Form N-Q Information
Proxy Voting:
Information regarding the policies and procedures that each Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling 800-539-3863. The information is also included in the Funds' Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Information relating to how the Funds voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve months ended June 30 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments:
The Trust expects to file a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT beginning March 1, 2019.

Forms N-PORT and Forms N-Q are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Expense Examples
As a shareholder of the Funds, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018.
The Actual Expense figures in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
The Hypothetical Expense figures in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Considerations of the Board in Continuing the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement")
The Board approved the Agreement on behalf of each of the Funds at a meeting, which was called for that purpose, on December 5, 2018. The Board also considered information relating to the Funds and the Agreement provided throughout the year and, more specifically, at a meeting on October 23, 2018. In considering whether to approve the Agreement, the Board requested, and the Adviser provided, information that the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to reach its conclusions. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, evaluated this information along with other information obtained throughout the year and was advised by legal counsel to the Funds and by independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. In addition, in 2017 the Independent Trustees, through their counsel, retained an independent consultant to assist with a review of the overall process for conducting the annual review of these advisory arrangements. The Board considered each Fund's advisory fee, expense ratio and investment performance as significant factors in determining whether the Agreement should be continued. In considering whether the compensation paid to the Adviser was fair and reasonable, the Board also evaluated, among other things, the following factors:
• The requirements of the Funds for the services provided by the Adviser;
• The nature, quality and extent of the services provided and expected to be provided;
• The performance of the Funds as compared to comparable funds;
• The fees payable for the services and whether the fee arrangements provided for economies of scale that would benefit Fund shareholders as the Funds grow;
• Whether the fee would be sufficient to enable the Adviser to attract and retain experienced personnel and continue to provide quality services to the Funds;
• Fees paid by other clients of the Adviser whose accounts are managed in a similar investment style and any differences in the services provided to the other clients compared to those provided to the Funds;
• Total expenses of each Fund, taking into consideration any distribution or shareholder servicing fees;
• Management's commitment to operating the Funds at competitive expense levels;
• The profitability of the Adviser (as reflected by comparing fees earned against an estimate of the Adviser's costs) with respect to the Adviser's relationship with the Funds;
• Research and other service benefits received by the Adviser obtained through payment of client commissions for securities transactions;
• Other benefits received by the Adviser, and its affiliates, including revenues paid to the Adviser, or its affiliates, by the Funds for administration and fund accounting services, and distribution;
• The capabilities and financial condition of the Adviser;
• Current economic and industry trends; and
• The historical relationship between each Fund and the Adviser.
The Board reviewed each Fund's current management fee in the context of the Adviser's profitability of the Fund. In addition, the Board compared each Fund's gross management fee and total expense ratio on a net and gross basis, taking into consideration any distribution or shareholder servicing fees, with the median gross management fee and median expense ratio of a universe of comparable exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") compiled by an independent consultant, FUSE Research Network, LLC ("FUSE"), and a peer group of funds with similar investment strategies selected by FUSE from the universe. The Board reviewed the factors and methodology used by FUSE in the selection of each Fund's peer group, including FUSE's selection of a broad universe of funds using the standard Retail Morningstar Categories, the more specific universe of comparable funds, and peer groups of funds with comparable investment strategies and asset levels, among other factors. The Board also reviewed any changes to FUSE's methodology as compared to the prior year, including as a result of input from the Adviser, if any.
The Board also reviewed the fee of a comparable mutual fund managed by the Adviser that is comparable to the VictoryShares US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF and the differences in the services provided to the mutual fund. The Board noted that none of the advisory fee arrangements for the Funds included breakpoints, which are generally viewed as a method by which the investment adviser shares any economies of scale with a fund as a fund grows. The Board also considered the Adviser's commitment to limit expenses as discussed in more detail below.

The Board found that the gross annual management fee paid by each Fund was within the range of management fees paid by each Fund's respective peer group. The Board also found that each Fund's net annual expense ratio was reasonable as compared with each Fund's respective peer group. The Board considered the Adviser's contractual agreement with each Fund to waive its fees and reimburse expenses for a specified period of time, as described in the Fund's prospectus.
With the understanding that each Fund had only one year of performance history, the Board reviewed each Fund's performance over a one-year period against the Fund's benchmark index noting that each Fund's investment objective is to track its proprietary benchmark index before fees and expenses. The Board recognized that the performance of each Fund is net of expenses, while the performance of each benchmark index is gross returns, and as a result, each Fund will generally underperform its benchmark index due to fees and expenses. The Board also considered each Fund's tracking error as a factor in evaluating performance. The Board considered the additional resources that the Adviser has committed to enhance portfolio analysis, compliance and trading systems.
The Board reviewed various other specific factors with respect to each Fund, as described below. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not rank the importance of any particular information or factor considered and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors.
