IRA DISTRIBUTION WITHHOLDING DISCLOSURE
We generally must withhold federal income tax at a rate of 10% of the taxable portion of your distribution and, if you live in a state that requires state income tax withholding, at your state's tax rate. However, you may elect not to have withholding apply or to have income tax withheld at a higher rate. Any withholding election that you make will apply to any subsequent distribution unless and until you change or revoke the election. If you wish to make a withholding election, or change or revoke a prior withholding election, call 800-539-3863 (800-235-8396 for Member Class) and form W-4P (OMB No. 1545-0074 withholding certificate for pension or annuity payments) will be electronically sent.
If you do not have a withholding election in place by the date of a distribution, federal income tax will be withheld from the taxable portion of your distribution at a rate of 10%. If you must pay estimated taxes, you may be subject to estimated tax penalties if your estimated tax payments are not sufficient and sufficient tax is not withheld from your distribution.
For more specific information, please consult your tax adviser.

1. Organization:
Victory Portfolios II (the "Trust") was organized on April 11, 2012 as a Delaware statutory trust as a successor to the "Compass EMP Funds 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 27 funds, 25 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 two following 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, I and Member Class* | |
* Member Class commenced operations on November 3, 2020.
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 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles 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)
42
Victory Portfolios II | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 | |
(Unaudited)
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 ETFs, 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 ("NAV"). 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 (the "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' NAVs are calculated. The Market Neutral Income Fund uses a systematic valuation model, provided daily by an independent third party to fair value its international equity securities. To the extent this model is utilized, these valuations are considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
A summary of the valuations as of December 31, 2020, based upon the three levels defined above, is included in the table below while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments.

(Unaudited)
For the six months ended December 31, 2020, there were no transfers in or out of the Level 3 fair value hierarchy.
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, 2020, 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
44
Victory Portfolios II | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 | |
(Unaudited)
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 brokers for futures contracts.
During the six months ended December 31, 2020, 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.
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, if any, is presented on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments. During the six months ended December 31, 2020, the Funds did not engage in any options trading activity.
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.
The table below, as of December 31, 2020, discloses both gross information and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and

The following table presents the effect of derivative instruments on the Statements of Operations, categorized by risk exposure, for the six months ended December 31, 2020:
| | Net Realized Gains (Losses) on Derivatives Recognized as a Result from Operations | | Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation/Depreciation on Derivatives Recognized as a Result of Operations | |
| | Net Realized Gains (Losses) from Futures Contracts | | Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation/ Depreciation on Futures Contracts | |
Equity Risk Exposure: | |
US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd Index Fund | | $ | 94,395 | | | $ | (311 | ) | |
Market Neutral Income Fund | | | (31,161,452 | ) | | | (9,693,238 | ) | |
All open derivative positions at period end are reflected on each respective Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The underlying face value of open derivative positions relative to the US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd Index Fund's net assets at period end is generally representative of the notional amount of open positions to net assets throughout the period. The volume associated with futures contracts in the Market Neutral Income Fund was 82% based on average monthly notional amounts in comparison to net assets during the period.
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 determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts, 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, primarily open-end investment companies, as noted on the Funds' Schedules of Portfolio Investments. The Trust does not have effective control of the non-cash collateral and therefore it is not disclosed on the Funds' Schedules of Portfolio Investments. During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the Funds any dividends or interest paid on such securities plus any fee negotiated between the parties to the lending agreement. The Funds also earn a return from the collateral. The Funds pay the Agent various fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral and fees based on the investment income received from securities lending activities. Securities lending income (net of these fees) 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, 2020. 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 | |
| | Securities on Loan | | Collateral Received* | | < 30 Days | | Between 30 and 90 Days | | > 90 Days | |

* Collateral received in excess of the market value of securities on loan is not presented in this table. The total cash collateral received by each Fund is disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
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 investment securities and foreign currency translations on the Statements of Operations. Any realized gains or losses from these fluctuations including foreign currency arising from in-kind redemptions, are disclosed as net realized gains (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.
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 years, which includes the current fiscal tax year end). 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 fees 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.
3. Purchases and Sales of Securities:

(Unaudited)
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.

Victory Capital Transfer Agency, Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as sub-transfer agent for the Member Class shares of the Funds. Victory Capital Transfer Agency, Inc. receives no fee or other compensation for 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. The Funds in the Victory Funds Complex, in aggregate, compensate the Adviser for these services. Amounts incurred for the six months ended December 31, 2020, are reflected on the Statements of Operations as Compliance fees.
Sidley Austin LLP provides legal services to the Trust.
Victory Capital Services, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as distributor for the continuous offering of the shares of the Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement between the Distributor and the Trust. Effective December 31, 2020, the Distributor's name was changed from Victory Capital Advisers, Inc. Amounts incurred for the six months ended December 31, 2020, are reflected on the Statements of Operations as 12b-1 fees.
Pursuant to the Distribution and Service Plans (the "Plans") adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Distributor may receive a monthly distribution and service fees, at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets for Class A Shares, and at an annual rate of up to 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C Shares of the 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.
The Plans are characterized as reimbursement plans since the distribution fees will be paid to the Distributor as reimbursement for, or in anticipation of, expenses incurred for distribution-related activity. If the aggregate payments received by the Distributor for a particular class of shares of the Funds in any fiscal year exceed the expenditures made by the Distributor in that year pursuant to the Plans, the Distributor will reimburse the Funds for the amount of the excess. For the six months ended December 31, 2020, the Distributor reimbursed $500 to the US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd Index Fund and $10,000 to the Market Neutral Income Fund.
In addition, the Distributor is entitled to receive commission on sales of Class A Shares of the Funds. For the six months ended December 31, 2020, the Distributor received approximately $1,327 from commissions earned on sales of Class A Shares. A $15 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 amounts 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

(a) In effect June 10, 2020, until at least October 31, 2021.
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, if any, are reflected on the Statements of Operations as Recoupment of prior expenses waived/reimbursed by Adviser.
As of December 31, 2020, the following amounts are available to be repaid to the Adviser. The Funds have not recorded any amounts available to be repaid as a liability due to an assessment that such repayment is not probable at December 31, 2020.
| | Expires June 30, 2021 | | Expires June 30, 2022 | | Expires June 30, 2023 | | Expires June 30, 2024 | | Total | |

5. Risks:
Each Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
Equity Risk — 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.
Foreign Securities Risk — 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 the 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
51
Victory Portfolios II | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 | |
(Unaudited)
prices of certain portfolio securities. There is also generally less government supervision and regulation of stock exchanges, brokers and listed companies than in the United States. 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 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.
Geopolitical/Natural Disaster Risk — An outbreak of disease called COVID-19 has spread internationally. The transmission of COVID-19 and efforts to contain its spread have resulted in international, national and local border closings and other significant travel restrictions and disruptions, significant disruptions to business operations, supply chains and consumer activity, significant challenges in healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines and general concern and uncertainty. These negative impacts have caused significant volatility and declines in global financial markets, which have caused losses for Fund investors during and subsequent to period end. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may last for an extended period of time, and could result in a substantial economic downturn or recession. Public health crises may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social, economic, market and financial risks. The extent of the impact to the financial performance of the Funds' investments will depend on future developments, including (i) the duration and spread of the outbreak, (ii) the restrictions and advisories, (iii) the effects on the financial markets, and (iv) the effects on the economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
6. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:
Line of Credit:
For the six months ended December 31, 2020, the Victory Funds Complex and the USAA Mutual Funds Complex (another series of mutual funds managed by the Adviser) participated in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 29, 2020, with a termination date of June 28, 2021. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex and USAA Mutual Funds Complex, combined, may borrow up to $600 million, of which $300 million is committed and $300 million is uncommitted. $40 million of the Line of Credit is reserved for use by the Victory Floating Rate Fund (herein, the "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. For the six months ended December 31, 2020, Citibank received an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $300 million for providing the Line of Credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex pays a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest (one month LIBOR plus one percent) on amounts borrowed. Effective June 29, 2020, under an amended Line of Credit agreement, Citibank will also receive an annual upfront fee of 0.10% on the $300 million committed line of credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex will pay a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Interest charged to each Fund during the period, if applicable, is presented on the Statements of Operations under Line of credit fees.
The Funds did not utilize the Line of Credit during the six months ended December 31, 2020.
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 from or lend money to any other Victory Fund, that is permitted to participate in the Facility, 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. As a Borrower, interest charged to each Fund during the period, as applicable, is presented
52
Victory Portfolios II | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 | |
(Unaudited)
on the Statements of Operations under Interest expense on interfund lending. As a Lender, interest earned by each Fund during the period, if applicable, is presented on the Statements of Operations under Interfund lending income.
The Funds did not utilize the Facility during the six months ended December 31, 2020.
7. Federal Income Tax Information:
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 (collectively, distributions to shareholders) 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 and distribution reclassification), 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.
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (deficit) will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending June 30, 2021.
As of the most recent tax year ended June 30, 2020, the following Funds had net capital loss carryforwards ("CLCFs") as summarized in the tables below. CLCFs are applied as either short-term or long-term depending on the originating capital loss.
| | Short-Term Amount | | Long-Term Amount | | Total | |
Market Neutral Income Fund | | $ | 1,011,865 | | | $ | 3,526,994 | | | $ | 4,538,859 | | |
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, 2020, the shareholders listed below held more than 25% of the shares outstanding of the Funds and may be deemed to control those Funds. Shareholders of record may hold Fund shares for the benefit of their customers.
| | Shareholder | | Percent | |
US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd Index Fund | | LPL Financial Corp. | | | 34.3 | % | |
Market Neutral Income Fund | | Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. | | | 26.1 | % | |
Market Neutral Income Fund | | Gerlach Co. LLC | | | 39.5 | % | |

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information
Proxy Voting:
Information regarding the policies and procedures 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 files 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. Form N-PORT is available on the SEC's web site 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, 2020, through December 31, 2020 (unless noted otherwise).
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 2, 2020. The Board also considered information relating to the Funds and the Agreement provided throughout the year and, more specifically, at a meeting on October 27, 2020 called for the purpose of reviewing the Agreement. 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, which also serves as independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. In addition, the Independent Trustees considered a past review of their overall process for conducting the annual review of the Funds' advisory arrangements by an independent consultant retained through their counsel.
The Board took into consideration regular reports from the Adviser throughout the COVID-19 pandemic public health crisis concerning how the ongoing pandemic has affected market volatility, investment risk and the implementation and effectiveness of business continuity plans. These reports also had confirmed that the pandemic had no material impact on the Adviser's operations.
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;
• The 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;
• The total expenses of each Fund;
• 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 with respect to 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 with the median gross management fee and median expense ratio of a universe of comparable mutual funds compiled by an independent consultant and a peer group of funds with similar investment strategies selected by that independent consultant from the universe. The Board reviewed the factors and methodology used by the independent consultant in the selection of each Fund's peer group, including the independent consultant's selection of a broad universe of funds, the more specific universe of comparable funds, and peer
55

(Unaudited)
groups of funds with comparable investment strategies and asset levels, among other factors. The Board also reviewed any changes to the independent consultant's methodology as compared to the prior year, including those resulting from the Adviser's input, 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 an 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, and would consider breakpoints at a future time if a Fund's assets were to grow significantly.
The Board also reviewed the compliance and administrative services provided to the Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates, including the Adviser's oversight of the Funds' day-to-day operations and oversight of Fund accounting, assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, and other services necessary for the operation of the Funds and the Trust.
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 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-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2020, to that of the median performance of the Fund's peer group for the same periods and considered the fact that the Fund underperformed the benchmark index for all of the periods reviewed, and underperformed the peer group median for all of the periods reviewed, with the exception of the one-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 discussed with the Adviser the Fund's rules-based rebalancing in light of market conditions and that the Fund performed in accordance with the Adviser's expectations.
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, 2020, to that of the median performance of the Fund's peer group and benchmark index for the same periods and considered the fact that the Fund outperformed both the benchmark index and the peer group median for all of the periods reviewed.
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 as a successor to a company named "Compass EMP Funds 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 27 funds, 25 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 17 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. (the "Exchange"). The Funds issue and redeem shares of a Fund ("Shares") at net asset value ("NAV") only in aggregations of 50,000 Shares, or 25,000 Share in the case of Nasdaq Next 50 ETF, Top Veteran Employers ETF, and Protect America ETF, (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
184
Victory Portfolios II | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 | |
(Unaudited)
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. Only Authorized Participants may purchase or redeem the shares directly from a Fund. In addition, shares 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 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* | |

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 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles 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 NAV. 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 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 (the "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.

^ Futures Contracts are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the investment.
For the six months ended December 31, 2020, there were no transfers in or out of the Level 3 fair value hierarchy.
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:
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 Developed Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF, International Volatility Wtd ETF, International High Div Volatility Wtd ETF and Emerging Market 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).
189
Victory Portfolios II | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 | |
(Unaudited)
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 Developed Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF, International Volatility Wtd ETF, Emerging Market Volatility Wtd ETF and International High Div Volatility Wtd ETF enter 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, 2020, 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, 2020, 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.

All open derivative positions at period end are reflected on each respective Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The underlying face value of open derivative positions relative to each Fund's net assets at period end is generally representative of the notional amount of open positions to net assets throughout the period.
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 determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts, 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 recorded on the identified cost basis.
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, primarily open-end investment companies, as noted on the Funds' Schedules of Portfolio Investments. The Trust does not have effective control of the non-cash collateral and therefore it is not disclosed on the Funds' Schedules of Portfolio Investments. During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the Funds any dividends or interest paid on such securities plus any fee negotiated between the parties to the lending agreement. The Funds also earn a return from the collateral. The Funds pay the Agent various fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral and fees based on the investment income received from securities lending activities. Securities lending income (net of these fees) 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, 2020. 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.

* Collateral received in excess of the market value of securities on loan is not presented in this table. The total cash collateral received by each Fund is disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
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, including foreign currency arising from in-kind redemptions, are disclosed as Net realized gains (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.
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 years, which includes the current fiscal tax year end). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.

5. Risks:
Each Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
Equity Risk — 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.
Foreign Securities Risk — 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
198
Victory Portfolios II | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 | |
(Unaudited)
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.
Passive Investment Risk — Each Fund is designed to track its index and is not actively managed. A Fund will not buy or sell shares of an equity security due to current or projected performance of a security, industry or sector, unless that security is added to or removed, respectively, from its index. A Fund does not, therefore, seek returns in excess of its index, and does not attempt to take defensive positions or hedge against potential risks unless such defensive positions are also taken by its index. Different types of investment styles, for example passively managed or actively managed, or growth or value, tend to perform differently and shift into and out of favor with investors depending on changes in market and economic sentiment and conditions. As a result, a Fund's performance may at times be worse than the performance of other mutual funds that invest more broadly or that have different investment styles.
Geopolitical/Natural Disaster Risk — An outbreak of disease called COVID-19 has spread internationally. The transmission of COVID-19 and efforts to contain its spread have resulted in international, national and local border closings and other significant travel restrictions and disruptions, significant disruptions to business operations, supply chains and consumer activity, significant challenges in healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines and general concern and uncertainty. These negative impacts have caused significant volatility and declines in global financial markets, which have caused losses for Fund investors during and subsequent to period end. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may last for an extended period of time, and could result in a substantial economic downturn or recession. Public health crises may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social, economic, market and financial risks. The extent of the impact to the financial performance of the Fund's investments will depend on future developments, including (i) the duration and spread of the outbreak, (ii) the restrictions and advisories, (iii) the effects on the financial markets, and (iv) the effects on the economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
6. Borrowing:
Line of Credit:
For the six months ended December 31, 2020, the Victory Funds Complex and the USAA Mutual Funds Complex (another series of mutual funds managed by the Adviser) participated in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 29, 2020, with a termination date of June 28, 2021. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex and USAA Mutual Funds Complex, combined, may borrow up to $600 million, of which $300 million is committed and $300 million is uncommitted. $40 million of the Line of Credit is reserved for use by the Victory Floating Rate Fund (herein, the "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. For the six months ended December 31, 2020, Citibank received an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $300 million for providing the Line of Credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex pays a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest (one month LIBOR plus one percent) on amounts borrowed. Effective June 29, 2020, under an amended Line of Credit agreement, Citibank will also receive an annual upfront fee of 0.10% on the $300 million committed line of credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex will pay a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Interest charged to each Fund during the period, if applicable, is presented on the Statements of Operations under Line of credit fees.

7. Federal Income Tax Information:
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 (collectively, distributions to shareholders) 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 and distribution reclassification), 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.
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (deficit) will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending June 30, 2021.
As of the most current tax year ended June 30, 2020, the following Funds had net capital loss carryforwards as summarized in the tables below.

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information
Proxy Voting:
Information regarding the policies and procedures 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 files 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. Forms N-PORT are available on the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov.
Expense Examples
As a shareholder of the Funds, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management 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, 2020, through December 31, 2020.
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 2, 2020. The Board also considered information relating to the Funds and the Agreement provided throughout the year and, more specifically, at a meeting on October 27, 2020 called for the purpose of reviewing the Agreement. 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, which also serves as independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. In addition, the Independent Trustees considered a past review of their overall process for conducting the annual review of the Funds' advisory arrangements by an independent consultant retained through their counsel.
The Board took into consideration regular reports from the Adviser throughout the COVID-19 pandemic public health crisis concerning how the ongoing pandemic has affected market volatility, investment risk and the implementation and effectiveness of business continuity plans. These reports also had confirmed that the pandemic had no material impact on the Adviser's operations.
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;
• 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 with respect to each Fund. In addition, the Board compared each Fund's gross management fee and total expense ratio on a net and gross basis with the median gross management fee and median expense ratio of a universe of comparable exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") compiled by an independent consultant and a peer group of funds with similar investment strategies selected by that independent consultant from the universe. The Board reviewed the factors and methodology used by the independent consultant in the selection of each Fund's peer group, including the independent consultant's selection of a broad universe of funds, the more specific universe of comparable funds, and peer groups of funds with comparable investment strategies and asset levels, among
204
Victory Portfolios II | | Supplemental Information — continued December 31, 2020 | |
(Unaudited)
other factors. The Board also reviewed any changes to the independent consultant's methodology as compared to the prior year, including those resulting from the Adviser's input, 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 an 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, and would consider breakpoints at a future time if a Fund's assets were to grow significantly.
The Board also reviewed the compliance and administrative services provided to the Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates, including the Adviser's oversight of the Funds' day-to-day operations and oversight of Fund accounting, assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, and other services necessary for the operation of the Funds and the Trust.
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.
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, noting that each Fund's investment objective is to track its proprietary benchmark index before fees and expenses. The Board noted that each Fund's investment objective is to track a custom index. The Board recognized that the performance of each Fund is net of expenses, while the performance of each benchmark index reflects 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 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.

Noting that the Fund commenced operations in 2014, the Board compared the Fund's one-, three- and five-year performance for the periods ended June 30, 2020, to that of the median performance of the Fund's peer group and benchmark index for the same periods and considered the fact that the Fund underperformed the benchmark index for all of the periods reviewed, and outperformed the peer group median for all of the periods reviewed, with the exception of the one-year period.

Having considered, among other things: (1) the Fund's management fee compared to comparable ETFs; (2) the Fund's total expense ratio compared to comparable ETFs; (3) that the Adviser's willingness to limit the expenses for a period of time would provide stability to the Fund's expenses during that period; and (4) that the Fund's performance in relation to its benchmark index and peer group was within an acceptable range, the Board concluded that the Agreement continued to be in the best interests of the Fund's shareholders.

Having considered, among other things: (1) the Fund's management fee compared to comparable ETFs; (2) the Fund's total expense ratio compared to comparable ETFs; (3) that the Adviser's willingness to limit the expenses for a period of time would provide stability to the Fund's expenses during that period; and (4) that the Fund's performance in relation to its benchmark index and peer group was within an acceptable range, 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, to the extent applicable;
• 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.
Considerations of the Board in Approving the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement")
The Board approved the Agreement on behalf of the VictoryShares Nasdaq Next 50 ETF (the "Fund") at meetings, which were called for that purpose, on May 12, 2020 and August 25, 2020. 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 the information provided and its extensive experience with the Adviser and was advised by legal counsel to the Fund, which also serves as independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. The Board reviewed numerous factors with respect to the Fund. The Board recognized that management was proposing to add the Fund as an investment portfolio of the Trust and that the Fund had not yet commenced operations and thus had no performance record or historical expenses. In considering whether the compensation to be paid to the Adviser was fair and reasonable, the Board also evaluated, among other things, the following factors:
• The requirements of the Fund for the services to be provided by the Adviser;
• The nature, quality and extent of the services provided to the other exchange-traded funds in the Trust and expected to be provided to the Fund;
• The proposed fees to be paid for the services and whether the fee arrangements provide for economies of scale that would benefit Fund shareholders as the Fund grows;
• 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 Fund;
• The estimated total expenses of the Fund;

(Unaudited)
• Management's commitments to operating the Fund at a competitive expense level;
• The expected profitability of the Adviser with respect to the Adviser's relationship with the Fund;
• Research and other service benefits expected to be received by the Adviser obtained through payment of client commissions for securities transactions;
• Other benefits expected to be received by the Adviser, including revenues to be paid to affiliates of the Adviser by the Fund for administration and fund accounting services;
• The capabilities and financial condition of the Adviser;
• Current economic and industry trends; and
• The historical relationship between the Trust and the Adviser.
The Board reviewed the Fund's proposed gross management fee both in the context of the Adviser's expected profitability from the Fund and the historical costs associated with operating similar funds. The Board acknowledged that the Fund's profitability is inherently difficult to estimate in a startup phase. In addition, the Board compared the Fund's expected operating expense ratio, with the understanding that no distribution or shareholder servicing fees were being proposed to be paid at this time, and management fee with comparable exchange-traded funds in a peer group of funds with similar investment strategies. The Board considered the Adviser's commitment to competitive total operating expense ratios through its contractual agreement to waive its fees and reimburse expenses for a specified period of time, noting that this could result in substantial initial subsidies by the Adviser. The Trustees noted that no breakpoints in the advisory fee schedule for the Fund were being proposed at this time.
The Board reviewed various other factors with respect to the Fund. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not rank the importance of any particular information or factor considered and each Trustee attributed different weights to various factors.
Approval of the Agreement on Behalf of the Fund
Based on its review of the information requested and provided, and following extended discussions, the Board determined that the Agreement, on behalf of the Fund, was consistent with the best interests of the Fund and its future shareholders, and the Board unanimously approved the Agreement, on behalf of the Fund, for an initial two year 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 to be paid to the Adviser under the Agreement in light of the investment advisory services to be provided, the costs of these services, the expected profitability of the Adviser's relationship with the Fund and the comparability of the fee to be paid to the fees paid by other investment companies;
• The nature, quality and extent of the investment advisory services to be provided by Adviser;
• The Adviser's entrepreneurial commitment to the management of the Fund and its inclusion in a broad-based family of funds, which could entail a substantial commitment of the Adviser's resources to the successful operation of the Fund;
• The Adviser's representations regarding its staffing and capabilities to manage the Fund, 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 as a successor to the "Compass EMP Funds 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 currently comprised of 27 funds, 25 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) | |
VictoryShares USAA Core Short-Term Bond ETF | | USAA Core Short-Term Bond ETF | |
VictoryShares USAA Core Intermediate-Term Bond ETF | | USAA Core Intermediate-Term Bond ETF | |
Effective September 1, 2019, the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") approved the fiscal year-end change for the Funds from August 31 to June 30. The accompanying financial statements reflect this change in fiscal year-end.
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 NYSE Arca, Inc (the "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"). The Funds issue and redeem Creation Units principally in exchange for a basket of securities included in the respective Fund's Index (the "Deposit Securities"), together with the deposit of a specified cash payment (the "Cash Component"), plus a transaction fee. Shares will 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. Only Authorized Participants may purchase or redeem the shares directly from a Fund. In addition, Shares 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 fair 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 Capital.

USAA Core Intermediate-Term Bond ETF | | | 100 | | | | 2.00 | % | |
* 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 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles 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.
Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at NAV. 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.
Debt securities of United States ("U.S.") issuers (other than short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less), including corporate and municipal securities, are valued on the basis of bid valuations provided by dealers or an independent pricing service approved by the Board. Short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Under the amortized cost method, premium or discount, if any, is amortized or accreted, respectively, on a constant basis to the maturity of the security. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 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 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.

For the six months ended December 31, 2020, there were no transfers in or out of the Level 3 fair value hierarchy.
Securities Purchased on a When-Issued Basis:
The Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued basis. When-issued securities are securities purchased for delivery beyond normal settlement periods at a stated price and/or yield, thereby involving the risk that the price and/or yield obtained may be more or less than those available in the market when delivery takes place. At the time a Fund makes the commitment to purchase a security on a when-issued basis, the Fund records the transaction and reflects the value of the security in determining NAV. No interest accrues to the Fund until the transaction settles and payment takes place. Normally, the settlement date occurs within one month of the purchase. A segregated account is established and the Fund maintains cash and/or marketable securities at least equal in value to commitments for when-issued securities. If a Fund owns when-issued securities, these values are included in Payable for investments purchased on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the segregated assets are identified on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments.
Municipal Obligations:
The values of municipal obligations can fluctuate and may be affected by adverse tax, legislative, or political changes, and by financial developments affecting municipal issuers. Payment of municipal obligations may depend on a relatively limited source of revenue, resulting in greater credit risk. Future changes in federal tax laws or the activity of an issuer may adversely affect the tax-exempt status of municipal obligations.

(Unaudited)
Mortgage-Related and Asset-Backed Securities:
The values of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose a Fund to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The values of mortgage- and asset-backed securities depend in part on the credit quality and adequacy of the underlying assets or collateral and may fluctuate in response to the market's perception of these factors as well as current and future repayment rates. Some mortgage-backed securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government (e.g., mortgage-backed securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association, commonly known as "Ginnie Mae"), while other mortgage-backed securities (e.g., mortgage- backed securities issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, commonly known as "Fannie Mae" and "Freddie Mac," respectively), are backed only by the credit of the government entity issuing them. In addition, some mortgage-backed securities are issued by private entities and, as such, are not guaranteed by the U.S. government or any agency or instrumentality of the U.S. government.
Loans:
Floating rate loans in which a Fund invests are primarily "senior" loans. Senior floating rate loans typically hold a senior position in the capital structures of the borrower, are typically secured by specific collateral, and have a claim on the assets and/or stock of the borrower that is senior to that held by subordinated debtholders and stockholders of the borrower. While these protections may reduce risk, these investments still present significant credit risk. A significant portion of a Fund's floating rate investments may be issued in connection with highly leveraged transactions such as leveraged buyouts, leveraged recapitalization loans, and other types of acquisition financing. Obligations in these types of transactions are subject to greater credit risk (including default and bankruptcy) than many other investments and may be, or become, illiquid. See the note below regarding below investment grade securities.
A Fund may purchase second lien loans (secured loans with a claim on collateral subordinate to a senior lender's claim on such collateral), fixed rate loans, unsecured loans, and other debt obligations.
Transactions in loans often settle on a delayed basis, and a Fund may not receive the proceeds from the sale of a loan or pay for a loan purchase for a substantial period of time after entering into the transactions.
Below Investment Grade Securities:
Certain Funds may invest in below investment grade securities (i.e., lower-quality, "junk" debt), which are subject to various risks. Lower-quality debt is considered to be speculative because it is less certain that the issuer will be able to pay interest or repay the principal than in the case of investment grade debt. These securities can involve a substantially greater risk of default than higher-rated securities, and their values can decline significantly over short periods of time. Lower-quality debt securities tend to be more sensitive to adverse news about their issuers, the market and the economy in general, than higher-quality debt securities. The market for these securities can be less liquid, especially during periods of recession or general market decline.
Collateralized Loan Obligations ("CLOs"):
CLOs are securities issued by entities that are collateralized by a pool of loans. CLOs are issued in multiple classes (tranches), and can be equity or debt with specific adjustable or fixed interest rates, and varying maturities. The cash flow from the underlying loans is used to pay off each tranche separately within the debt, or senior tranches. Equity, or subordinated tranches, typically are not paid a cash flow but do offer ownership in the CLO itself in the event of a sale.

Investment Companies:
Open-End Funds:
The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment traded 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:
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 brokers for futures contracts. As of and during the six months ended December 31, 2020, the Funds held no futures contracts.
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 determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts, 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 recorded on the identified cost basis. Paydown gains or losses on applicable securities, if any, are recorded as components of Interest income on the Statements of Operations.
Certain Funds may receive other income from investment in loan assignments and/or unfunded commitments, including amendment fees, consent fees, and commitment fees. These fees are recorded as income when received by the Fund. These amounts, if received, are included in Interest income on the Statements of Operations.

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, primarily open-end investment companies, as noted on the Funds' Schedules of Portfolio Investments. The Trust does not have effective control of the non-cash collateral and therefore it is not disclosed on the Funds' Schedules of Portfolio Investments. During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the Funds any dividends or interest paid on such securities plus any fee negotiated between the parties to the lending agreement. The Funds also earn a return from the collateral. The Funds pay the Agent various fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral and fees based on the investment income received from securities lending activities. Securities lending income (net of these fees) 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, 2020. 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 | | | |
| | Securities on Loan) | | Collateral Received* | | <30 Days | | Between 30 & 90 days | | >90 Days | | Net Amount | |

USAA Core Intermediate-Term Bond ETF | | | 1,270,166 | | | | 1,270,166 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | — | | | | — | | |
* Collateral received in excess of the market value of securities on loan is not presented in this table. The total cash collateral received by each Fund is disclosed on the 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 years, which includes the current fiscal tax year end). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.

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. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the six months ended December 31, 2020, are reflected on the Statements of Operations as Investment advisory fees.
Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive fees based on a percentage of the average daily net assets of each Fund. The rates at which the Adviser is paid by each Fund are included in the table below.
| | Flat Rate | |
USAA Core Short-Term Bond ETF | | | 0.25 | % | |
USAA Core Intermediate-Term Bond ETF | | | 0.30 | % | |
VCM also serves as the Funds' administrator and fund accountant. Under the Administration and Fund Accounting Agreement, VCM is paid for its services an annual fee at a rate of 0.08% of the first $15 billion in average daily net assets of the Trust, USAA Mutual Funds Trust, Victory Variable Insurance Funds and Victory Portfolios (collectively, the "Victory Funds Complex"), 0.05% of the average daily net assets above $15 billion to $30 billion of the Victory Funds Complex and 0.04% of the average daily net assets over $30 billion of the Victory Funds Complex. Amounts incurred for the six months ended December 31, 2020, are reflected on the Statements of Operations as Administration fees.
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. ("Citi"), an affiliate of Citibank, acts as sub-administrator and sub-fund accountant to the Funds pursuant to the Sub-Administration and Sub-Fund Accounting Services Agreement between VCM and Citi. VCM pays Citi a fee for providing these services. The Funds reimburse VCM and Citi for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing these services and certain other expenses specifically allocated to the Funds. Amounts incurred for the six months ended December 31, 2020, are reflected on the Statements of Operations as Sub-Administration fees.
Citibank serves as the Funds' custodian. The Funds pay Citibank a fee for providing these services. Amounts incurred for the six months ended December 31, 2020, are reflected on the Statements of Operations as Custodian fees.

Citibank also serves as the Funds' Transfer Agent. Amounts incurred for the six months ended December 31, 2020, are reflected on the Statements of Operations as Transfer agent fees.
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. The Funds in the Victory Funds Complex, in aggregate, compensate the Adviser for these services. Amounts incurred for the six months ended December 31, 2020, are reflected on the Statements of Operations as Compliance fees.
Sidley Austin LLP provides legal services to the Trust.
The Adviser has entered into expense limitation agreements with the 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 Funds in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for such Fund. Such excess amounts 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, 2020, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) are as follows:
| | In Effect July 1, 2019 Until June 30, 2021 | |
USAA Core Short-Term Bond ETF | | | 0.35 | % | |
USAA Core Intermediate-Term Bond ETF | | | 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 year, if any, are reflected on the Statements of Operations as Recoupment of prior expenses waived/reimbursed by Adviser.
As of December 31, 2020, the following amounts are available to be repaid to the Adviser. The Funds have not recorded any amounts available to be repaid as a liability due to an assessment that such repayment is not probable at December 31, 2020.
| | Expires August 31, 2022 | | Expires June 30, 2023 | | Expires June 30, 2024 | | Total | |

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. For the six months ended December 31, 2020, there were no voluntary waivers
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, Custodian, Distributor, and Legal Counsel.
5. Risks:
Each Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
Debt Securities Risks — The value of a debt security or other income-producing security changes in response to various factors, including, for example, market-related factors (such as changes in interest
47
Victory Portfolios II | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 | |
(Unaudited)
rates, adverse economic or political conditions, tariffs and trade disruptions, inflation, or adverse investor sentiment generally) and changes in the actual or perceived ability of the issuer (or of issuers generally) to meet its (or their) obligations. Changes in value may occur sharply and unpredictably.
Credit Risk — The Funds are 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. The Funds are subject to credit and interest rate risk with respect to fixed income securities. Credit risk refers to the ability of an issuer to make timely payments of interest and principal. Interest rates may rise or the rate of inflation may increase, impacting the value of investments in fixed income securities. A debt issuers' credit quality may be downgraded or an issuer may default. Interest rates may fluctuate due to changes in governmental fiscal policy initiatives and resulting market reaction to those initiatives.
Geopolitical/Natural Disaster Risk — An outbreak of disease called COVID-19 has spread internationally. The transmission of COVID-19 and efforts to contain its spread have resulted in international, national and local border closings and other significant travel restrictions and disruptions, significant disruptions to business operations, supply chains and consumer activity, significant challenges in healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines and general concern and uncertainty. These negative impacts have caused significant volatility and declines in global financial markets, which have caused losses for Fund investors during and subsequent to period end. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may last for an extended period of time, and could result in a substantial economic downturn or recession. Public health crises may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social, economic, market and financial risks. The extent of the impact to the financial performance of the Funds' investments will depend on future developments, including (i) the duration and spread of the outbreak, (ii) the restrictions and advisories, (iii) the effects on the financial markets, and (iv) the effects on the economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
LIBOR Discontinuation Risk — Many debt securities, derivatives and other financial instruments, including some of the Funds' investments, use the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") as the reference or benchmark rate for variable interest rate calculations. However, the use of LIBOR started to come under pressure following manipulation allegations in 2012. Despite increased regulation and other corrective actions since that time, concerns have arisen regarding its viability as a benchmark, due largely to reduced activity in the financial markets that it measures. In June 2017, the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a group of large U.S. banks working with the Federal Reserve, announced its selection of a new Secured Overnight Funding Rate ("SOFR"), which is intended to be a broad measure of secured overnight U.S. Treasury repo rates, as an appropriate replacement for LIBOR. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York began publishing the SOFR in 2018, expecting that it could be used on a voluntary basis in new instruments and transactions. Bank working groups and regulators in other countries have suggested other alternatives for their markets, including the Sterling Overnight Interbank Average Rate ("SONIA") in England. In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA"), the United Kingdom financial regulatory body, announced that after 2021 it will cease its active encouragement of UK banks to provide the quotations needed to sustain LIBOR. That announcement suggests that LIBOR may cease to be published after that time. It is expected that there will be enough for market participants to transition to the use of a different benchmark for both new and existing securities and transactions. Various financial industry groups have begun planning for that transition, but there are obstacles to converting certain longer-term securities and transactions to a new benchmark. Transition planning is at an early stage, and neither the effect of the transition process nor its ultimate success can yet be known. Although the foregoing may provide some sense of timing, there is no assurance that LIBOR, or any particular currency and tenor, will continue to be published until any particular date, and it appears highly likely that LIBOR will be discontinued or modified after December 31, 2021, or June 30, 2023, depending on the currency and tenor. The transition process might lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets that currently rely on the LIBOR to determine
48
Victory Portfolios II | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 | |
(Unaudited)
interest rates. It could also lead to a reduction in the value of some LIBOR-based investments and reduce the effectiveness of new hedges placed against existing LIBOR-based instruments. Since the usefulness of LIBOR as a benchmark could deteriorate during the transition period, these effects could occur before the end of 2021.
6. Line of Credit:
For the six months ended December 31, 2020, the Victory Funds Complex participated in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 29, 2020, with a termination date of June 28, 2021. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex and USAA Mutual Funds Complex, combined, may borrow up to $600 million, of which $300 million is committed and $300 million is uncommitted. $40 million of the Line of Credit is reserved for use by the Victory Floating Rate Fund (herein, the "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. For the six months ended December 31, 2020, Citibank received an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $300 million for providing the Line of Credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex pays a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest (one month LIBOR plus one percent) on amounts borrowed. Effective June 29, 2020, under an amended Line of Credit agreement, Citibank will also receive an annual upfront fee of 0.10% on the $300 million committed line of credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex will pay a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Interest charged to each Fund during the period, if applicable, is presented on the Statements of Operations under Line of credit fees.
The Funds did not utilize the Line of Credit during the six months ended December 31, 2020.
7. Federal Income Tax Information:
Each of the Funds intends to declare and distribute any net investment income monthly. Each of the Funds distribute any net realized long or short-term capital gains at least annually.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively, distributions to shareholders) 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 and distribution reclassification), 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.
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (deficit) will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending June 30, 2021.
During the ten months ended June 30, 2020, the USAA Core Short-Term Bond ETF and USAA Core Intermediate-Term Bond ETF utilized $44,188 and $102,077 of short-term capital loss carryforwards, respectively.

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information
Proxy Voting:
Information regarding the policies and procedures 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 files 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. Form N-PORT is available on the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov.
Expense Examples
As a shareholder of the Funds, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs; and (2) ongoing costs, including management 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, 2020, through December 31, 2020.
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.
| | Beginning Account Value 7/1/20 | | Actual Ending Account Value 12/31/20 | | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 12/31/20 | | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 7/1/20- 12/31/20* | | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 7/1/20- 12/31/20* | | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 7/1/20- 12/31/20 | |

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 2, 2020. The Board also considered information relating to the Funds and the Agreement provided throughout the year and, more specifically, at a meeting on October 27, 2020 called for the purpose of reviewing the Agreement. 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, which also serves as independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees.
The Board noted that each Fund assumed the performance of its predecessor fund, that the Adviser became the investment adviser to each Fund on February 26, 2019, and that prior to that date each predecessor fund was managed by a different investment adviser.
The Board took into consideration regular reports from the Adviser throughout the COVID-19 pandemic public health crisis concerning how the ongoing pandemic has affected market volatility, investment risk and the implementation and effectiveness of business continuity plans. These reports also had confirmed that the pandemic had no material impact on the Adviser's operations.
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;
• 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;
• The fact that the Funds are actively managed exchange-traded funds ("ETFs");
• 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 the Trust and the Adviser.
The Board reviewed each Fund's current management fee in the context of the Adviser's profitability with respect to each Fund. In addition, the Board compared each Fund's gross management fee and total expense ratio on a net and gross basis with the median gross management fee and median expense ratio of a universe of comparable ETFs compiled by an independent consultant and a peer group of funds with similar investment strategies selected by that independent consultant from the universe. The Board reviewed the factors and
51
Victory Portfolios II | | Supplemental Information — continued December 31, 2020 | |
(Unaudited)
methodology used by the independent consultant in the selection of each Fund's peer group, including the independent consultant's selection of a broad universe of funds, the more specific universe of comparable funds, and peer groups of funds with comparable investment strategies and asset levels, among other factors.
The Board noted that none of the advisory fee arrangements for the Funds included breakpoints, which are generally viewed as a method by which an 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, and would consider breakpoints at a future time if a Fund's assets were to grow significantly.
The Board also reviewed the compliance and administrative services provided to the Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates, including the Adviser's oversight of the Funds' day-to-day operations and oversight of Fund accounting, assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, and other services necessary for the operation of the Funds and the Trust.
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.
The Board reviewed each Fund's performance over the one-year period 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 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.
VictoryShares USAA Core Short-Term Bond ETF
Noting that the Fund commenced operations in 2017, the Board compared the Fund's one-year performance for the period ended June 30, 2020, to that of the median performance of the Fund's peer group and benchmark index for the same period and considered the fact that the Fund underperformed the benchmark index and outperformed the peer group median.
Having considered, among other things: (1) the Fund's management fee compared to comparable ETFs; (2) the Fund's total expense ratio compared to comparable ETFs; (3) that the Adviser's willingness to limit the expenses for a period of time would provide stability to the Fund's expenses during that period; and (4) that the Fund's performance in relation to its benchmark index and peer group was within an acceptable range, the Board concluded that the Agreement continued to be in the best interests of the Fund's shareholders.
VictoryShares USAA Core Intermediate-Term Bond ETF
Noting that the Fund commenced operations in 2017, the Board compared the Fund's one-year performance for the period ended June 30, 2020, to that of the median performance of the Fund's peer group and benchmark index for the same period and considered the fact that the Fund underperformed both the benchmark index and the peer group median.
Having considered, among other things: (1) the Fund's management fee compared to comparable ETFs; (2) the Fund's total expense ratio compared to comparable ETFs; (3) that the Adviser's willingness to limit the expenses for a period of time would provide stability to the Fund's expenses during that period; and (4) that the Fund's performance in relation to its benchmark index and peer group was within an acceptable range, the Board concluded that the Agreement continued to be in the best interests of the Fund's shareholders.

1. Organization:
Victory Portfolios II (the "Trust") was organized on April 11, 2012 as a Delaware statutory trust, as a successor to the "Compass EMP Funds 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 currently comprised of 27 funds, 25 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 four Funds (collectively, the "Funds" and individually, a "Fund").
Funds (Legal Name) | | Funds (Short Name) | |
VictoryShares USAA MSCI USA Value Momentum ETF | | USAA MSCI USA Value Momentum ETF | |
VictoryShares USAA MSCI USA Small Cap Value Momentum ETF | | USAA MSCI USA Small Cap Value Momentum ETF | |
VictoryShares USAA MSCI International Value Momentum ETF | | USAA MSCI International Value Momentum ETF | |
VictoryShares USAA MSCI Emerging Markets Value Momentum ETF | | USAA MSCI Emerging Markets Value Momentum ETF | |
Effective September 1, 2019, the Board of Trustees (the "Board") approved the fiscal year-end change for the Funds from August 31 to June 30. The accompanying financial statements reflect this change in fiscal year-end.
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 NYSE Arca, Inc. (the "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"). The Funds issue and redeem Creation Units principally in exchange for a basket of securities included in the respective Fund's Index (the "Deposit Securities"), together with the deposit of a specified cash payment (the "Cash Component"), plus a transaction fee. Shares will 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. Only Authorized Participants may purchase or redeem the shares directly from a Fund. In addition, Shares 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 fair 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 Capital.

* 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 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles 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 NAV. 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 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 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.

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:
Open-End Funds:
The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment traded 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:
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 brokers for futures contracts.
As of the six months ended December 31, 2020, 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
59

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, 2020, discloses both gross information and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset on 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.

All open derivative positions at period end are reflected on each respective Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The underlying face value of open derivative positions relative to each Fund's net assets at year end is generally representative of the notional amount of open positions to net assets throughout the period.
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 determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts, 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 recorded on the identified cost basis.

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, primarily open-end investment companies, as noted on the Funds' Schedules of Portfolio Investments. The Trust does not have effective control of the non-cash collateral and therefore it is not disclosed on the Funds' Schedules of Portfolio Investments. During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the Funds any dividends or interest paid on such securities plus any fee negotiated between the parties to the lending agreement. The Funds also earn a return from the collateral. The Funds pay the Agent various fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral and fees based on the investment income received from securities lending activities. Securities lending income (net of these fees) 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, 2020. 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.

* Collateral received in excess of the market value of securities on loan is not presented in this table. The total cash collateral received by each Fund is disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
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
62
Victory Portfolios II | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 | |
(Unaudited)
are disclosed as Net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investment securities and foreign currency translations on the Statements of Operations. Any realized gains or losses from these fluctuations are disclosed as Net realized gains (losses) from investment securities 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.
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 years, which includes the current fiscal tax year end). 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.
3. Purchases and Sales:
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) and purchases and sales of in-kind transactions for the six months ended December 31, 2020, were as follows.

5. Risks:
Each Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
Equity Risk — 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.
Foreign Securities Risk — The USAA MSCI International Value Momentum ETF and USAA MSCI Emerging Markets Value Momentum 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
65
Victory Portfolios II | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 | |
(Unaudited)
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.
Passive Investment Risk — Each Fund is designed to track its index and is not actively managed. A Fund will not buy or sell shares of an equity security due to current or projected performance of a security, industry or sector, unless that security is added to or removed, respectively, from its index. A Fund does not, therefore, seek returns in excess of its index, and does not attempt to take defensive positions or hedge against potential risks unless such defensive positions are also taken by its index. Different types of investment styles, for example passively managed or actively managed, or growth or value, tend to perform differently and shift into and out of favor with investors depending on changes in market and economic sentiment and conditions. As a result, a Fund's performance may at times be worse than the performance of other mutual funds that invest more broadly or that have different investment styles.
Geopolitical/Natural Disaster Risk — An outbreak of disease called COVID-19 has spread internationally. The transmission of COVID-19 and efforts to contain its spread have resulted in international, national and local border closings and other significant travel restrictions and disruptions, significant disruptions to business operations, supply chains and consumer activity, significant challenges in healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines and general concern and uncertainty. These negative impacts have caused significant volatility and declines in global financial markets, which have caused losses for Fund investors during and subsequent to period end. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may last for an extended period of time, and could result in a substantial economic downturn or recession. Public health crises may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social, economic, market and financial risks. The extent of the impact to the financial performance of the Fund's investments will depend on future developments, including (i) the duration and spread of the outbreak, (ii) the restrictions and advisories, (iii) the effects on the financial markets, and (iv) the effects on the economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
6. Line of Credit:
For the six months ended December 31, 2020, the Victory Funds Complex participated in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 29, 2020, with a termination date of June 28, 2021. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex and USAA Mutual Funds Complex, combined, may borrow up to $600 million, of which $300 million is committed and $300 million is uncommitted. $40 million of the Line of Credit is reserved for use by the Victory Floating Rate Fund (herein, the "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. For the six months ended December 31, 2020, Citibank received an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $300 million for providing the Line of Credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex pays a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest (one month LIBOR plus one percent) on amounts borrowed. Effective June 29, 2020, under an amended Line of Credit agreement, Citibank will also receive an annual upfront fee of 0.10% on the $300 million committed line of credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex will pay a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Interest charged to each Fund during the period, if applicable, is presented on the Statements of Operations under Line of credit fees.
The average loans for the days outstanding and average interest rate for each Fund during the six months ended December 31, 2020, were as follows:
| | Amount Outstanding at December 31, 2020 | | Average Borrowings | | Days Borrowing Outstanding | | Average Interest Rate* | | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | |
USAA MSCI Emerging Markets Value Momentum ETF | | $ | — | | | $ | 10,950,000 | | | | 2 | | | | 1.23 | % | | $ | 13,600,000 | | |
* For the six months ended December 31, 2020, based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding.

7. Federal Income Tax Information:
Distributions of net investment income are monthly for MSCI USA Value Momentum ETF and MSCI USA Small Cap Value Momentum ETF and semi-annually for MSCI International Value Momentum ETF and MSCI Emerging Markets Value Momentum ETF. Each of the Funds distributes any net realized long or short-term capital gains at least annually.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively, distributions to shareholders) 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 and distribution reclassification), 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.
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (deficit) will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending June 30, 2021.
As of the most current tax year ended June 30, 2020, the following Funds had net capital loss carryforwards as summarized in the tables below.
| | Short-Term Amount | | Long-Term Amount | | Total | |

9. Affiliated Securities:
An affiliated security is a security in which the Fund has ownership of at least 5% of the security's outstanding voting shares an investment company managed by VCM or an issuer under common control with a Fund under VCM. The Fund does not invest in affiliated securities for the purpose of exercising management or control. These securities are noted as affiliated on the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments.

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information
Proxy Voting:
Information regarding the policies and procedures 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 files 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. Form N-PORT is available on the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov.
Expense Examples
As a shareholder of the Funds, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs; and (2) ongoing costs, including management 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, 2020, through December 31, 2020.
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 2, 2020. The Board also considered information relating to the Funds and the Agreement provided throughout the year and, more specifically, at a meeting on October 27, 2020 called for the purpose of reviewing the Agreement. 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, which also serves as independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees.
The Board noted that each Fund assumed the performance of its predecessor fund, that the Adviser became the investment adviser to each Fund on February 26, 2019, and that prior to that date each predecessor fund was managed by a different investment adviser.
The Board took into consideration regular reports from the Adviser throughout the COVID-19 pandemic public health crisis concerning how the ongoing pandemic has affected market volatility, investment risk and the implementation and effectiveness of business continuity plans. These reports also had confirmed that the pandemic had no material impact on the Adviser's operations.
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;
• The total expenses of each Fund;
• 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 the Trust and the Adviser.
The Board reviewed each Fund's current management fee in the context of the Adviser's profitability with respect to each Fund. In addition, the Board compared each Fund's gross management fee and total expense ratio on a net and gross basis with the median gross management fee and median expense ratio of a universe of comparable exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") compiled by an independent consultant and a peer group of funds with similar investment strategies selected by that independent consultant from the universe. The Board reviewed the factors and methodology used by the independent consultant in the selection of each Fund's peer

group, including the independent consultant's selection of a broad universe of funds, the more specific universe of comparable funds, and peer groups of funds with comparable investment strategies and asset levels, among other factors.
The Board noted that none of the advisory fee arrangements for the Funds included breakpoints, which are generally viewed as a method by which an 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, and would consider breakpoints at a future time if a Fund's assets were to grow significantly.
The Board also reviewed the compliance and administrative services provided to the Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates, including the Adviser's oversight of the Funds' day-to-day operations and oversight of Fund accounting, assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, and other services necessary for the operation of the Funds and the Trust.
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.
The Board reviewed each Fund's performance over the one-year period against the performance of the Fund's selected peer group and benchmark index, noting that each Fund's investment objective is to track its 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 reflects 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 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.
VictoryShares USAA MSCI USA Value Momentum ETF
Noting that the Fund commenced operations in 2017, the Board compared the Fund's one-year performance for the period ended June 30, 2020, to that of the median performance of the Fund's peer group and benchmark index for the same period and considered the fact that the Fund underperformed both the benchmark index and the peer group median.
Having considered, among other things: (1) the Fund's management fee compared to comparable ETFs; (2) the Fund's total expense ratio compared to comparable ETFs; (3) that the Adviser's willingness to limit the expenses for a period of time would provide stability to the Fund's expenses during that period; and (4) that the Fund's performance in relation to its benchmark index and peer group was within an acceptable range, the Board concluded that the Agreement continued to be in the best interests of the Fund's shareholders.
