Victory Funds Letter to Shareholders (Unaudited)
Dear Shareholder,
Never a dull moment. A year ago, we were still coming to grips with a global pandemic, hoping for an effective vaccine, and wondering whether the U.S. Federal Reserve's (the "Fed") aggressive actions would continue to mollify financial markets. As it turns out,
a vaccine was rolled out (domestically) faster than expectations, and a recovery that began during the second quarter of 2020 continued unabated.
Fast forward to today and investors are suddenly more concerned about labor shortages, rising commodity prices, and whether inflation will prove to be transitory or more lasting. If anything, this merely exemplifies that markets are unpredictable and the environment can and will change rapidly.
Reflecting on the past year, we must consider ourselves fortunate despite the myriad challenges. For starters, it was impressive how quickly the various forms of monetary and fiscal stimulus contributed to a rebound in GDP. Of course, it wasn't a straight line upward and there were bouts of elevated volatility in both bond and stock markets. Late in 2020, for example, financial markets were alternately fueled and roiled by a contentious election season, growing optimism for an effective vaccine, and a fluid debate regarding the need for even more stimulus. Ultimately, stocks were propelled higher in the fourth quarter of 2020 as it became clear Congress would provide another dose of stimulus in the form of direct payments, more unemployment insurance, and additional aid to businesses.
As we moved into 2021, stocks continued their upward trajectory. Meanwhile, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury continued rallying sharply as many investors began to shift their focus. Deflation was out; inflation was in. Indeed, the potential for a new era of inflation and higher interest rates seems to be the new worry du jour.
Through all the volatility and surprises, the S&P 500® Index registered an impressive annual return of 40.79% for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2021. In fact, this broad market index ended the reporting period at an all-time high. Over this same period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 79 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point), reflecting a very low starting rate, substantial fiscal stimulus, and the Fed's ongoing accommodative monetary policy. At the end of the reporting period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury was 1.45%.
No doubt, the past year is not one we will forget any time soon. There were many hardships, but we should not overlook the positives and remember our collective spirit and perseverance. Markets endured and even surprised to the upside, but perhaps the key takeaway is that investors need to remain calm in the face of adversity and focused on longer-term investment goals. That's usually the best approach no matter what the markets throw at us.

Victory Equity Long/Cash Fund
Victory US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd Index Fund
Managers' Commentary
(Unaudited)
Victory US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd Index Fund (the "Fund") seeks to provide investment results that track the performance of the Nasdaq Victory US Large Cap 500 Long/Cash Volatility Weighted Index (the "Index") before fees and expenses.
The Fund (Class A Shares at net asset value) returned 38.05% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, underperforming the Index, which returned 39.29% during the period. The S&P 500® Index, a market capitalization-based index against which the performance of the Fund is also measured, returned 40.79% during the period.
In tracking the Index and its rules-based methodology, the Fund reallocates from equities to U.S. Treasury bills ("T-Bills") during periods of significant market decline ("Long/Cash" feature). The Long/Cash feature of the Index triggered during the reporting period and the Fund was 50% allocated to T-Bills and 50% to equities during July of 2020, reallocating to 100% equities in August of 2020. The Long/Cash trigger had a negative impact on the Fund's relative performance versus the S&P 500® Index for the fiscal year.
Over the reporting period, the Fund's performance relative to the S&P 500® Index was driven by the Index' underweight positions in the largest market cap names within the S&P 500® Index. The top 10 stocks in the S&P 500® Index combined to make up over 28% of the Index and the Index only held 2% in these same names. This underweight cost the Fund 1.2% in relative performance. However, the Index's inclusion of other constituent securities in the index offset this headwind and added over 3.6% to relative performance.

Victory Bond Replacement Fund
Victory Market Neutral Income Fund
Managers' Commentary
(Unaudited)
Victory Market Neutral Income Fund (the "Fund") seeks high current income by implementing a proprietary, "market neutral" investment strategy designed to seek income from its investments while maintaining a low correlation to the foreign and domestic equity and bond markets.
The Fund (Class A Shares at net asset value) returned 2.33% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, outperforming its benchmark, the FTSE 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index (the "Index"), which returned 0.08%.
The Fund uses a multi-strategy approach. First, the Fund invests in securities of the Nasdaq Victory Volatility Weighted High Dividend Indexes. The allocation to each Nasdaq Victory Volatility Weighted High Dividend Index is equally weighted. Second, the Fund seeks to offset equity market risk by shorting high-correlating equity futures contracts, such as contracts based on the S&P 500®, Russell 2000®, MSCI EAFE and MSCI Emerging Markets indexes, or exchange-traded funds that track such indexes. Third, the Fund may allocate to a basket of long and short futures to offset basis risk of long positions in high-dividend stocks and short positions in equity index futures.
During the reporting period, the Global High Dividend Long/Short Portfolio was a positive contributor as all four high-dividend yielding portfolios outperformed their corresponding short index futures positions. The Overlay Strategy, long Nasdaq-100® futures and short index futures positions, was a detractor during the reporting period.

Victory Portfolios II | Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2021 |
1. Organization:
Victory Portfolios II (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and 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 24 funds, 22 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.
The accompanying financial statements are those of the following two Funds (collectively, the "Funds" and individually, a "Fund"). Each Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.
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 under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.
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)
48
Victory Portfolios II | Notes to Financial Statements — continued June 30, 2021 |
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.
Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or the "Adviser") has established the Pricing and Liquidity Committee (the "Committee"), and subject to Trust's Board of Trustees' (the "Board") oversight, the Committee administers and oversees the Funds' valuation policies and procedures, which are approved by the Board.
Portfolio securities listed or traded on securities exchanges, including exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") 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.
In the event that price quotations or valuations are not readily available, investments 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. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and the actual price realized from the sale of a security may differ materially from the fair value price. Valuing these securities at fair value is intended to cause the Fund's NAV to be more reliable than it otherwise would be.
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 June 30, 2021, is included in the table below while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments:

^ Futures contracts are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the investment.
For the year ended June 30, 2021, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 in the 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. The Funds 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 Funds record 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. The Funds 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 June 30, 2021, the Funds had no open forward foreign exchange currency contracts.
50
Victory Portfolios II | Notes to Financial Statements — continued June 30, 2021 |
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. The Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds 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. The Funds 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 Funds had not entered into any futures transactions. In addition, the value of the Funds' futures positions may not prove to be perfectly or even highly correlated with the value of its portfolio securities or foreign currencies, limiting the Funds' 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 reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities under Deposit with brokers for futures contracts. As of June 30, 2021, 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.
The table below, as of June 30, 2021, 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.

* Includes cumulative appreciation (depreciation) of futures contracts as reported on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments. Only current day's variation margin is reported within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
The following table presents the effect of derivative instruments on the Statements of Operations, categorized by risk exposure, for the year ended June 30, 2021:
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 | ||||||||||

Market Neutral Income Fund | (129,812,369 | ) | 6,909,316 |
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 year end is generally representative of the notional amount of open positions to net assets throughout the year. The volume associated with futures contracts in the Market Neutral Income Fund was 79% based on average monthly notional amounts in comparison to net assets during the year.
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
52
Victory Portfolios II | Notes to Financial Statements — continued June 30, 2021 |
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"). 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 Citibank 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 Fund could experience a delay in recovering its 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 June 30, 2021. 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 Cash | Value of Non-cash Collateral Received by Maturity | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
(Value of Securities on Loan) | Collateral Received* | <30 Days | Between 30 & 90 Days | >90 Days | Net Amount | ||||||||||||||||||||||

* 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
53
Victory Portfolios II | Notes to Financial Statements — continued June 30, 2021 |
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 the Funds are charged to the Funds, while expenses that 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, 12b-1 fees, and printing 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:
Cost of purchases and proceeds from sales/maturities of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) for the year ended June 30, 2021, were as follows:
Excluding U.S. Government Securities | |||||||||||

Market Neutral Income Fund | 1,008,975,596 | 386,756,950 |
For the year ended June 30, 2021, there were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government Securities.

Distributor/Underwriting Services:
Victory Capital Services, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as distributor for the continuous offering of the shares of the Funds pursuant to a Distribution Agreement between the Distributor and the Trust.
Pursuant to the Distribution and Service Plans adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Distributor may receive a monthly distribution and service fee as shown in the table below
Class A | Class C | Class I | Member Class | ||||||||||||||||
US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd Index Fund | 0.25 | % | 1.00 | % | 0.00 | % | N/A | ||||||||||||
Market Neutral Income Fund | 0.25 | % | 1.00 | % | 0.00 | % | 0.00 | % |
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 year ended June 30, 2021, the Distributor reimbursed $500 to the US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd Index Fund and $10,000 to the Market Neutral Income Fund.
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 and Class C. Amounts incurred for the year ended June 30, 2021, are reflected on the Statements of Operations as 12b-1 fees.
In addition, the Distributor is entitled to receive commission on sales of Class A. For the year ended June 30, 2021, the Distributor received $3,862 from commissions earned on sales of Class A. 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.
Other Fees:
Citibank serves as the Funds' custodian. The Funds pay Citibank a fee for providing these services. Amounts incurred for the year ended June 30, 2021, are reflected on the Statements of Operations as Custodian 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 classes of the Funds in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for such classes of the Funds. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. Acquired fund fees and expense, 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 Funds' business are excluded from the expense limits. As of June 30, 2021, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) are as follows:
In effect until October 31, 2021 | |||||||||||||||||||
Class A | Class C | Class I | Member Class | ||||||||||||||||
US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd Index Fund | 0.99 | % | 1.74 | % | 0.74 | % | N/A | ||||||||||||
Market Neutral Income Fund | 0.75 | % | 1.50 | % | 0.40 | % | 0.55 | % |
Under the terms of the expense limitation agreement, amended May 1, 2021, the Funds have agreed to repay fees and expenses that were waived or reimbursed by the Adviser for a period of up to three years (thirty six (36) months) after the waiver or reimbursement took place, subject to the lesser of any
56
Victory Portfolios II | Notes to Financial Statements — continued June 30, 2021 |
operating expense limits in effect at the time of: (a) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (b) the recoupment, after giving effect to the recoupment amount. Prior to May 1, 2021, the Funds were permitted to recoup fees waived and expenses reimbursed for up to three years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement took place, subject to the limitations above. This change did not have any effect on the amounts previously reported for recoupment.
As of June 30, 2021, 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 June 30, 2021.

The Adviser may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Fund in maintaining competitive expense ratios. These waivers are not available for recoupment and are reflected on the Statements of Operations as Expenses waived/reimbursed by Adviser.
Certain officers and/or interested trustees of the Fund are also officers and/or employees of the Adviser, administrator, fund accountant, sub-administrator, sub-fund accountant, custodian, legal counsel, and Distributor.
5. Risks:
The Funds 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.
Stock Market Risk — Overall stock market risks may affect the value of the Fund. Domestic and international factors such as political events, war, trade disputes, interest rate levels and other fiscal and monetary policy changes, pandemics and other public health crises and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires and floods, may add to instability in world economies and markets generally. The impact of these and other factors may be short-term or may last for extended periods.
Large Capitalization Stock Risk — The securities of large capitalization companies may underperform the securities of smaller capitalization companies or the market as a whole. The growth rate of larger, more established companies may lag those of smaller companies, especially during periods of economic expansion.
Investment Style Risk — Different types of investment styles, for example 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, the 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.
6. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:
Line of Credit:
The Victory Funds Complex participates in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 29, 2021, with a termination date of June 29, 2022. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex may borrow up
57
Victory Portfolios II | Notes to Financial Statements — continued June 30, 2021 |
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, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with Victory Floating Rate Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended June 30, 2021, Citibank also 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. For the period June 29, 2020, through April 30, 2021, under an amended Line of Credit agreement, Citibank received an annual upfront fee of 0.10% on the $300 million committed line of credit. Each Fund in the Victory Funds Complex paid a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Effective with the renewal, the annual commitment fee of 0.15% remains unchanged and the upfront fee of 0.10% was discontinued. Interest charged to each Fund during the period, if applicable, is presented on the Statements of Operations under Line of credit fees.
The Funds had no borrowings under the Line of Credit during the year ended June 30, 2021.
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 lend and borrow money to or from any other fund in the Victory Funds Complex 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, if applicable, is presented on the Statements of Operations under Interfund lending fees. As a Lender, interest earned by each Fund during the period, if applicable, is presented on the Statements of Operations under Interest expense on interfund lending.
The Funds did not utilize or participate in the Facility during the year ended June 30, 2021.
7. Federal Income Tax Information:
Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid as noted in the table below. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually from each Fund.
Declared | Paid | ||||||||||
US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd Index Fund | Quarterly | Quarterly | |||||||||
Market Neutral Income Fund | Monthly | Monthly |
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 the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
58
Victory Portfolios II | Notes to Financial Statements — continued June 30, 2021 |
As of June 30, 2021, on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, reclassification adjustments were as follows:

The tax character of distributions paid during the tax years ended as noted below, were as follows (total distributions paid may differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because, for tax purposes, dividends are recognized when actually paid):

* The difference between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales, mark-to-market of futures contracts and passive foreign investment companies.
At June 30, 2021, the Fund below had net capital loss carryforwards as shown in the table below. It is unlikely that the Board will authorize a distribution of capital gains realized in the future until the capital loss carryforwards have been used.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of Victory Portfolios ll
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, of Victory US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd Index Fund and Victory Market Neutral Income Fund (the "Funds"), each a series of Victory Portfolios ll, as of June 30, 2021, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of June 30, 2021, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds' financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies advised by Victory Capital Management, Inc. since 2015.

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information
Proxy Voting:
Information regarding the policies and procedures the Funds use 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 12 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 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Expense Examples
As a shareholder of the Funds, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2021, through June 30, 2021.
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 the 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 below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

The Victory Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the "LRMP") as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration the Fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions; its short- and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other liquidity management tools such as available funding sources including the Victory Funds Complex Interfund Lending Facility and Line of Credit (discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements). The Victory Funds' Board of Trustees approved the appointment of the Funds' investment adviser, Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital"), as the administrator of the LRMP.
Victory Capital manages liquidity risks associated with the Fund's investments by monitoring, among other things, cash and cash equivalents, any use of derivatives, the concentration of investments, the appropriateness of the Fund's investment strategy, and by classifying every Fund investment as either highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid or illiquid on at least a monthly basis. To assist with the classification of Fund investments, Victory Capital has retained a third-party provider of liquidity evaluation services. This provider determines preliminary liquidity classifications for all portfolio holdings based upon portfolio-level data and certain assumptions provided by Victory Capital. Victory Capital reviews the preliminary liquidity classifications and, when appropriate, considers other information including input from the Fund's portfolio managers (including the portfolio managers employed by any investment sub-advisers) in determining final liquidity classifications.
At a meeting held on February 18, 2021, Victory Capital provided an oral and written report to the Trustees on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP during the previous year. The report from Victory Capital concluded that the Funds did not experience any significant liquidity challenges during the covered period, and the Funds' LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage its liquidity risk. The report also concluded that the LRMP continues to operate adequately and effectively to enable Victory Capital to oversee and manage liquidity risk and ensure the Funds are able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution to the remaining investors' interest in the Funds. During the review period, the Fund's portfolio consisted primarily of highly liquid investments, which are defined as cash and any investments that the Funds reasonably expects to be converted to cash in current market conditions in three business days or less without significantly changing the market value of the investment. Therefore, the Funds have not adopted a highly liquid investment minimum. The Funds' investments were below the limitation on illiquid investments during the review period. Additionally, Victory Capital indicated that no events occurred that would require the filing of Form N-LIQUID and recommended no material changes to the LRMP.

Victory Funds Letter to Shareholders
(Unaudited)
Dear Shareholder,
Never a dull moment. A year ago, we were still coming to grips with a global pandemic, hoping for an effective vaccine, and wondering whether the U.S. Federal Reserve's (the "Fed") aggressive actions would continue to mollify financial markets. As it turns out, a vaccine was rolled out (domestically) faster than expectations, and a recovery that began during the second quarter of 2020 continued unabated.
Fast forward to today and investors are suddenly more concerned about labor shortages, rising commodity prices, and whether inflation will prove to be transitory or more lasting. If anything, this merely exemplifies that markets are unpredictable and the environment can and will change rapidly.
Reflecting on the past year, we must consider ourselves fortunate despite the myriad challenges. For starters, it was impressive how quickly the various forms of monetary and fiscal stimulus contributed to a rebound in GDP. Of course, it wasn't a straight line upward and there were bouts of elevated volatility in both bond and stock markets. Late in 2020, for example, financial markets were alternately fueled and roiled by a contentious election season, growing optimism for an effective vaccine, and a fluid debate regarding the need for even more stimulus. Ultimately, stocks were propelled higher in the fourth quarter of 2020 as it became clear Congress would provide another dose of stimulus in the form of direct payments, more unemployment insurance, and additional aid to businesses.
As we moved into 2021, stocks continued their upward trajectory. Meanwhile, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury continued rallying sharply as many investors began to shift their focus. Deflation was out; inflation was in. Indeed, the potential for a new era of inflation and higher interest rates seems to be the new worry du jour.
Through all the volatility and surprises, the S&P 500® Index registered an impressive annual return of 40.79% for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2021. In fact, this broad market index ended the reporting period at an all-time high. Over this same period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 79 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point), reflecting a very low starting rate, substantial fiscal stimulus, and the Fed's ongoing accommodative monetary policy. At the end of the reporting period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury was 1.45%.
No doubt, the past year is not one we will forget any time soon. There were many hardships, but we should not overlook the positives and remember our collective spirit and perseverance. Markets endured and even surprised to the upside, but perhaps the key takeaway is that investors need to remain calm in the face of adversity and focused on longer-term investment goals. That's usually the best approach no matter what the markets throw at us.
On the following pages, you will find information relating to your Victory Funds investment. If you have any questions, we encourage you to contact your financial advisor. If you invest with us directly, you may call (800) 539-3863, or visit our website at www.vcm.com.

VictoryShares US 500 Volatility Wtd ETF
Managers' Commentary
(Unaudited)
VictoryShares US 500 Volatility Wtd ETF (the "Fund") seeks to provide investment results that track the performance of the Nasdaq Victory US Large Cap 500 Volatility Weighted Index (the "Index") before fees and expenses.
The Fund returned 42.51% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, compared to the Index's return of 43.02%. The Fund outperformed the S&P 500® Index, a market cap-based index against which the performance of the Fund is also measured, which returned 40.79% during the period.
Over the reporting period, the Fund's performance relative to the S&P 500® Index was driven by the Index's underweight positions in the largest market cap names within the S&P 500® Index. The top 10 stocks in the S&P 500® Index combined to make up over 28% of the Index and the Index only held 2% in these same names. This underweight cost the Fund 1.2% in relative performance. However, the Index's inclusion of other constituent securities offset this headwind and added over 3.3% to relative performance.

Managers' Commentary
(Unaudited)
VictoryShares US Small Cap Volatility Wtd ETF (the "Fund") seeks to provide investment results that track the performance of the Nasdaq Victory US Small Cap 500 Volatility Weighted Index (the "Index") before fees and expenses.
The Fund returned 63.72% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, compared to the Index's return of 64.35%. The Fund outperformed the Russell 2000® Index, a market cap-based index against which the performance of the Fund is also measured, which returned 62.03% during the period.
The Fund only invests in stocks included within the Index, which includes stocks with a market cap less than $3 billion at the time of the Index's reconstitution. As the Russell 2000® Index recovered from the drawdown due to the pandemic, it was led higher by the smaller-market cap stocks in the index. The Index's higher allocation to these smaller-market cap stocks was a tailwind during the reporting period. Underweight positions to the Real Estate and Health Care sectors were also positive contributors. Performance was held back by the Materials and Energy sector stocks included within the Index.

The Index's country allocations, relative to the MSCI EAFE Index, were a large driver of the Fund's relative returns. The Index's overweight positions to South Korea and Canada were large positive contributors. An underweight position to and stock selection in France was a large detractor. Stock selection in Japan, relative to the MSCI EAFE Index, also detracted from relative performance.

VictoryShares International High Div Volatility Wtd ETF (the "Fund") seeks to provide investment results that track the performance of the Nasdaq Victory International High Dividend 100 Volatility Weighted Index (the "Index") before fees and expenses.
The Fund returned 35.49% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, compared to the Index's return of 36.12%. The Fund outperformed the MSCI EAFE Index, a market cap-based index against which the performance of the Fund is also measured, which returned 32.35% during the period.
The Index's country allocations, relative to the MSCI EAFE Index, were a large driver of the Fund's relative returns. The Index's overweight positions to South Korea and Canada were large positive contributors. An underweight position to and stock selection in France was a large detractor. Stock selection in Japan, relative to the MSCI EAFE Index, also detracted from relative performance.

(Unaudited)
VictoryShares US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF (the "Fund") seeks to provide investment results that track the performance of the Nasdaq Victory US Large Cap 500 Long/Cash Volatility Weighted Index (the "Index") before fees and expenses.
The Fund returned 38.78% over the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, compared to the Index's return of 39.29%. The Fund outperformed the S&P 500® Index, a market cap-based index against which the performance of the Fund is also measured, which returned 40.79% during the period.
In tracking the Index and its rules-based methodology, the Fund reallocates from equities to U.S. Treasury bills ("T-Bills") during periods of significant market decline ("Long/Cash" feature). The Long/Cash feature of the Index triggered during the reporting period and the Fund was 50% allocated to T-Bills and 50% to equities during July of 2020, reallocating to 100% equities in August of 2020. The Long/Cash trigger had a negative impact on the Fund's relative performance versus the S&P 500® Index for the fiscal year.
Over the reporting period, the Fund's performance relative to the S&P 500® Index was driven by the Index's underweight positions in the largest-market cap names within the S&P 500® Index. The top 10 stocks in the S&P 500® Index combined to make up over 28% of the Index and the Index only held 2% in these same names. This underweight cost the Fund 1.2% in relative performance. However, the Index's inclusion of other constituent securities offset this headwind and added over 3.6% to relative performance.

The Index only includes stocks with a market cap less than $3 billion at the time of reconstitution. As the Russell 2000® Index recovered from the drawdown due to the pandemic, it was led higher by the smaller-market cap stocks in the index. The Index's higher allocation to these smaller-market cap stocks was a tailwind during the reporting period. Underweight positions to the Real Estate and Health Care sectors were also positive contributors. Performance was held back by the Index's inclusion of stocks within the Materials and Energy sectors.

VictoryShares Nasdaq Next 50 ETF — Growth of $10,000
1The Nasdaq Q-50 Index is a market capitalization-weighted index designed to track the performance of companies that are next-eligible for inclusion into the Nasdaq-100® Index. The Index is comprised of 50 securities ranked by market capitalization and reflects companies across major industry groups including computer hardware and software, telecommunications, retail/wholesale trade, and biotechnology. It does not contain securities of financial companies including banking and investment companies, as these are ineligible for Nasdaq-100® Index inclusion. This index does not include the effect of commissions, expenses, or taxes, is not representative of the Fund, and it is not possible to invest directly in an index.
The graph reflects investment growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund.
The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of shares.

1. Organization:
Victory Portfolios II (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and 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 24 funds, 22 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. The accompanying financial statements are those of the following 16 Funds (collectively, the "Funds" and individually, a "Fund"). Each Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.

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. A Fund's 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 under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.
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 NAV only in aggregations of 50,000 Shares, or 25,000
210
Victory Portfolios II | Notes to Financial Statements — continued June 30, 2021 |
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 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:

* As a percentage of the amount invested.
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
211
Victory Portfolios II | Notes to Financial Statements — continued June 30, 2021 |
• 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.
Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or the "Adviser") has established the Pricing and Liquidity Committee (the "Committee"), and subject to Trust's Board of Trustees' (the "Board") oversight, the Committee administers and oversees the Funds' valuation policies and procedures, which are approved by the Board.
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 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.
In the event that price quotations or valuations are not readily available, investments 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. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, and the actual price realized from the sale of a security may differ materially from the fair value price. Valuing these securities at fair value is intended to cause the Fund's NAV to be more reliable than it otherwise would be.
A summary of the valuations as of June 30, 2021, is included in the table below while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments:

^ Futures Contracts are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the investment.
For the year ended June 30, 2021, there were no significant transfers in or out of the Level 3 fair value hierarchy.
As of June 30, 2021, there were no significant Level 3 holdings in the 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:
Certain 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
215
Victory Portfolios II | Notes to Financial Statements — continued June 30, 2021 |
hedging against foreign currency fluctuations relating to a specific portfolio transaction, such as the delay between a security transaction trade date and settlement date. Forward contracts are entered into for purposes of hedging portfolio holdings or concentrations of such holdings. The Funds enter 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 Funds record 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. The Funds 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 June 30, 2021, 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. The Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds 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. The Funds 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 Funds had not entered into any futures transactions. In addition, the value of the Funds' futures positions may not prove to be perfectly or even highly correlated with the value of its portfolio securities or foreign currencies, limiting the Funds' 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 June 30, 2021, 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.
The table below, as of June 30, 2021, discloses both gross information and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and
216

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"). 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 Citibank 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 Fund could experience a delay in recovering its 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 June 30, 2021. 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 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
220
Victory Portfolios II | Notes to Financial Statements — continued June 30, 2021 |
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 the Funds are charged to the Funds, while expenses that 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 year ended June 30, 2021, were as follows. Any realized gains or losses from in-kind redemptions are reflected on the Statements of Operations as Net realized gains (losses) from in-kind redemptions.

5. Risks:
The Funds 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, 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,
224
Victory Portfolios II | Notes to Financial Statements — continued June 30, 2021 |
confiscatory taxation, political or financial instability and diplomatic developments, which could affect the value of a Fund's investments in certain foreign countries. Governments of many countries have exercised and continue to exercise substantial influence over many aspects of the private sector through the ownership or control of many companies, including some of the largest in these countries. As a result, government actions in the future could have a significant effect on economic conditions which may adversely affect prices of certain portfolio securities. There is also generally less government supervision and regulation of stock exchanges, brokers and listed companies than in the U.S. Dividends or interest on, or proceeds from the sale of, foreign securities may be subject to foreign withholding taxes, and special U.S. tax considerations may apply. Moreover, foreign economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital re-investment, resource self-sufficiency and balance of payments position. The Schedule of Portfolio Investments include 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.
6. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:
Line of Credit:
The Victory Funds Complex participates in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 29, 2021, with a termination date of June 27, 2022. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex 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, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with Victory Floating Rate Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended June 30, 2021, 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. For the period June 29, 2020, through April 30, 2021, under an amended Line of Credit agreement, Citibank received an annual upfront fee of 0.10% on the $300 million committed line of credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex paid a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Effective with the renewal, the annual commitment fee of 0.15% remains unchanged and the upfront fee of 0.10% was discontinued. Interest charged to each fund during the period, if applicable, is presented on the Statements of Operations under Line of credit fees.
The average borrowing for the days outstanding and average interest rate for each Fund that utilized the Line of Credit during the year ended June 30, 2021, were as follows:
Amount Outstanding at June 30, 2021 | Average Borrowing* | Days Borrowings Outstanding | Average Interest Rate | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | |||||||||||||||||||
Emerging Market High Div Volatility Wtd ETF | $ | — | $ | 3,900,000 | 2 | 1.21 | % | $ | 4,600,000 |
* For the year ended June 30, 2021, based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding.

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 the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
As of June 30, 2021, on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, reclassification adjustments (inclusive of in-kind redemptions as applicable) were as follows:

8. 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 or 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.
Section 12(d)(3) of the 1940 Act, and Rule 12d3-1(c) under the 1940 Act, generally prohibit a fund from purchasing the securities issued by, among other entities, a fund's investment adviser. When a fund's investment objective is to track the performance of an unaffiliated index by investing in the stocks that comprise that index, the staff of the SEC has taken the position that, subject to certain conditions, the fund may establish and maintain a position in the common stock of an affiliate of the fund's investment adviser in an amount approximately in proportion to the percentage that the stock is represented in the index. In seeking to provide investment results that closely correspond to its respective unaffiliated index, one or more Funds may hold the securities of Victory Capital Holdings, Inc., the parent company of VCM and other Fund service providers.
Transactions in affiliated securities during the year ended June 30, 2021 were as follows:

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds' financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies advised by Victory Capital Management, Inc. since 2015.

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information
Proxy Voting:
Information regarding the policies and procedures the Funds use 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 12 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 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Expense Examples
As a shareholder of the Funds, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, 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 January 1, 2021, through June 30, 2021.
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 the 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 below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Liquidity Risk Management Program:
The Victory Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the "LRMP") as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration the Fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions; its short- and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other liquidity management tools such as available funding sources including the Victory Funds Complex Interfund Lending Facility and Line of Credit (discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements). The Victory Funds' Board of Trustees approved the appointment of the Funds' investment adviser, Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital"), as the administrator of the LRMP.
Victory Capital manages liquidity risks associated with the Funds' investments by monitoring, among other things, cash and cash equivalents, any use of derivatives, the concentration of investments, the appropriateness of the Fund's investment strategy, and by classifying every Fund investment as either highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid or illiquid on at least a monthly basis. To assist with the classification of Fund investments, Victory Capital has retained a third-party provider of liquidity evaluation services. This provider determines preliminary liquidity classifications for all portfolio holdings based upon portfolio-level data and certain assumptions provided by Victory Capital. Victory Capital reviews the preliminary liquidity classifications and, when appropriate, considers other information including input from the Fund's portfolio managers (including the portfolio managers employed by any investment sub-advisers) in determining final liquidity classifications.
At a meeting held on February 18, 2021, Victory Capital provided an oral and written report to the Trustees on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP during the previous year. The report from Victory Capital concluded that the Funds did not experience any significant liquidity challenges during the covered period, and the Funds' LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage its liquidity risk. The report also concluded that the LRMP continues to operate adequately and effectively to enable Victory Capital to oversee and manage liquidity risk and ensure the Funds are able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution to the remaining investors' interest in the Funds. During the review period, the Fund's portfolio consisted primarily of highly liquid investments, which are defined as cash and any investments that the Funds reasonably expects to be converted to cash in current market conditions in three business days or less without significantly changing the market value of the investment. Therefore, the Funds have not adopted a highly liquid investment minimum. The Funds' investments were below the limitation on illiquid investments during the review period. Additionally, Victory Capital indicated that no events occurred that would require the filing of Form N-LIQUID and recommended no material changes to the LRMP.

Victory Funds Letter to Shareholders
(Unaudited)
Dear Shareholder,
Never a dull moment. A year ago, we were still coming to grips with a global pandemic, hoping for an effective vaccine, and wondering whether the U.S. Federal Reserve's (the "Fed") aggressive actions would continue to mollify financial markets. As it turns out, a vaccine was rolled out (domestically) faster than expectations, and a recovery that began during the second quarter of 2020 continued unabated.
Fast forward to today and investors are suddenly more concerned about labor shortages, rising commodity prices, and whether inflation will prove to be transitory or more lasting. If anything, this merely exemplifies that markets are unpredictable and the environment can and will change rapidly.
Reflecting on the past year, we must consider ourselves fortunate despite the myriad challenges. For starters, it was impressive how quickly the various forms of monetary and fiscal stimulus contributed to a rebound in GDP. Of course, it wasn't a straight line upward and there were bouts of elevated volatility in both bond and stock markets. Late in 2020, for example, financial markets were alternately fueled and roiled by a contentious election season, growing optimism for an effective vaccine, and a fluid debate regarding the need for even more stimulus. Ultimately, stocks were propelled higher in the fourth quarter of 2020 as it became clear Congress would provide another dose of stimulus in the form of direct payments, more unemployment insurance, and additional aid to businesses.
As we moved into 2021, stocks continued their upward trajectory. Meanwhile, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury continued rallying sharply as many investors began to shift their focus. Deflation was out; inflation was in. Indeed, the potential for a new era of inflation and higher interest rates seems to be the new worry du jour.
Through all the volatility and surprises, the S&P 500® Index registered an impressive annual return of 40.79% for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2021. In fact, this broad market index ended the reporting period at an all-time high. Over this same period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 79 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point), reflecting a very low starting rate, substantial fiscal stimulus, and the Fed's ongoing accommodative monetary policy. At the end of the reporting period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury was 1.45%.
No doubt, the past year is not one we will forget any time soon. There were many hardships, but we should not overlook the positives and remember our collective spirit and perseverance. Markets endured and even surprised to the upside, but perhaps the key takeaway is that investors need to remain calm in the face of adversity and focused on longer-term investment goals. That's usually the best approach no matter what the markets throw at us.
On the following pages, you will find information relating to your Victory Funds investment. If you have any questions, we encourage you to contact your financial advisor. If you invest with us directly, you may call (800) 539-3863, or visit our website at www.vcm.com.

Manager's Commentary
(Unaudited)
What were the market conditions during the year ended June 30, 2021?
"Unprecedented" is a word that has been used quite a bit over the last year or so. Never in the history of the United States (and most, if not all, of the world for that matter) has most of the country's economy been put into a self-imposed shutdown. The COVID-19 pandemic was the reason for this self-imposed shutdown, which led to unprecedented economic results. For example, at its nadir, U.S. employment shrank by almost 21 million people in one month alone. The pre-COVID-19 unemployment rate jumped from a very low 3.5% to a high of 14.8%, all in the matter of two months. Similarly, real gross domestic product ("GDP") saw a collapse of –31.4% in the second quarter of 2020. While these numbers are unprecedented, there was other human and economic damage that stemmed from the pandemic, including bankruptcies (both business and personal), deferred health care, and other human tragedies that are difficult, if not impossible, to measure.
Thankfully, the United States and the world are beginning to emerge from this tragedy. Most states have lifted their lockdowns, and life has begun returning to normal. The economy started adding jobs in May 2020, but still remains about 6 million jobs short of the jobs that were lost during the pandemic; however, we are seeing progress every month. Likewise, GDP jumped 33.4% in the third quarter of 2020 and has been relatively strong since. One result of returning to normal, however, has been a surge in the inflation numbers.
Higher inflation was a trigger that led to the recent increase in interest rates, causing the yield curve to steepen, especially in the one-year and longer part of the U.S. Treasury curve, as the market began pricing in increases in the short-term Fed Funds rate. The widely followed Consumer Price Index ("CPI") began showing the effects of the economy getting back to normal in March 2021, as CPI posted a 2.6% increase, and then 4.2%, 5%, and 5.40% in April through June 2021, respectively. While these rates are higher than they have recently been, this increase is likely transitory, as much of the increase has been in used car prices, gasoline, and rents, demand of which was suppressed during the pandemic. In fact, if we take the average monthly CPI from March 2020 through June 2021 (to account for lower CPI during the pandemic), the average is 1.89%, which is just over the 2019 average CPI of 1.81%.
Credit spreads spiked in March 2020 and hit their zenith at 373 basis points ("bps"), but decreased relatively quickly during the year. They are now lower than pre-pandemic spreads: the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Investment Grade Corporate option-adjusted spread was 93 bps at December 31, 2019, and ended June 2021 at 80 bps. By ratings, AAA, AA, A, and BBB spreads fell by 19, 43, 51, and 95 bps, respectively. High-yield spreads decreased by 359 bps. (Spreads generally are considered an indication of risk; the wider the spread, the greater the perceived risk.)
No doubt, the stimulus from the U.S. federal and state governments, in the form of direct payments to consumers and businesses (funded by unprecedented government borrowing), helped calm markets and allowed out-of-work employees to manage for a time without a paycheck. Likewise, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") corporate bond buying programs and effectively zero short-term interest rates helped the credit markets stay open. Many corporations took advantage of cheap funding and borrowed heavily to have adequate cash to help survive the lockdowns.

VictoryShares USAA Core Short-Term Bond ETF (continued)
For its part, the Fed appears committed to an effectively zero Fed Funds rate for the near term, indicating no increases until 2023. Although U.S. Treasury rates have recently risen and the yield curve has steepened, rates remain below year end 2019 by about 150 bps at the short end of the curve, 45 bps for the 10 year, and by 30 bps at the long end.
How did VictoryShares USAA Core Short-Term Bond ETF (the "Fund") perform during the year ended June 30, 2021?
The Fund returned 3.48%, outperforming its benchmark, Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Yr Credit Index (the "Index"), which returned 1.31% during the period.
What strategies did you employ during the year ended June 30, 2021?
The Fund earned a positive total return during the reporting period, driven primarily by coupon income and the decline in U.S. Treasury yields and credit spreads. Reflecting the portfolio's diversification, the Fund's results were spread among a variety of sectors. Within corporate bonds, the Fund benefited from investments in Airlines, Consumer Cyclical Services, Independent Exploration & Production, Aerospace & Defense, and Metals & Mining sectors. Certain other market segments weighed on relative performance, although they generally produced positive returns. These included Asset-Backed Securities, Pharmaceuticals, Lodging, Consumer Products, and Food & Beverage. In addition, the Fund's cash position was a drag on performance as bond prices rose during the reporting period. We continued to adhere to our disciplined investment approach, which is to maintain an attractive yield with an acceptable level of risk. From a credit risk perspective, our higher exposure to BBB and high yield bonds outperformed, while higher rated investment-grade bonds posted lower returns.
To identify attractive investment opportunities, we worked with our in-house team of credit analysts, continuing to build the portfolio bond-by-bond, through fundamental bottom-up analysis. We seek ideas where our fundamental understanding of the credit risk is different than the market. This approach, we believe, will generate total returns that may outperform our peers over the long run, with less volatility. Our credit analysts review all securities considered for purchase and assign their own independent credit rating. They continuously monitor every holding in the Fund. We are committed to building a portfolio diversified among multiple asset classes and across a large number of issuers. To minimize the Fund's exposure to potential surprises, we limit the positions we take in any one issuer.

The Fund returned 2.55%, outperforming its benchmark, Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index (the "Index"), which returned –0.33% during the period.
What strategies did you employ during the year ended June 30, 2021?
The Fund outperformed the Index over the past year as asset allocation and security selection within the Fund contributed significantly to performance. Relative to the Index, the Fund was helped by its allocation to, and security selection within, corporate bonds. Within corporate bonds, the Fund benefited from investments in Banking, Insurance, Energy, Airlines, Auto, Aerospace & Defense and Manufacturing sectors. The Fund also benefited from investments in taxable municipal securities and asset-backed securities, many of which we purchased when the markets were disrupted due to COVID-19. An underweight in U.S. Treasury securities and Agency Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities also benefited performance as these asset types had negative overall returns during the reporting period unlike most other asset types within the fixed income index. The Fund's holdings of Agency CMBS and cash detracted from performance. We continued to adhere to our disciplined investment approach, which is to maintain an attractive yield with an acceptable level of risk. From a credit risk perspective, our higher exposure relative to the Index in A, BBB, and high yield bonds contributed most to performance.
To identify attractive investment opportunities, we worked with our in-house team of credit analysts, continuing to build the portfolio bond-by-bond, through fundamental bottom-up analysis.

Victory Portfolios II | Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2021 |
1. Organization:
Victory Portfolios II (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and 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 24 funds, 22 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. The accompanying financial statements are those of the following two Funds (collectively, the "Funds" and individually, a "Fund"). Each Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.
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 |
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. A Fund's 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 under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.
Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the 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"). Creation Units are issued and redeemed in exchange for a basket of securities included in the respective Fund's Index (the "Deposit Securities"), and/or with the deposit of a specified cash payment (the "Cash Component"), plus a transaction fee. Shares trade on the Exchange at market prices that may be below, at, or above NAV. Shares of a Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions ("Authorized Participants"). An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. 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.

* As a percentage of the amount invested.
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.
Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or the "Adviser") has established the Pricing and Liquidity Committee (the "Committee"), and subject to Trust's Board of Trustees' (the "Board") oversight, the Committee administers and oversees the Funds' valuation policies and procedures, which are approved by the Board.
Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at NAV. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Debt securities are valued each business day by a pricing service approved by the Board. The approved pricing service uses the evaluated bid or the last sale price to value securities. Debt obligations maturing within 60 days may be valued at amortized cost, provided that the amortized cost represents the fair value of such securities. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
In the event that price quotations or valuations are not readily available, investments 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. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and the actual price realized from the sale of a security may differ materially from the fair value price. Valuing these securities at fair value is intended to cause the Fund's NAV to be more reliable than it otherwise would be.

For the year ended June 30, 2021, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
As of June 30, 2021, there were no significant Level 3 holdings in the fair value hierarchy.
Securities Purchased on a Delayed-Delivery or When-Issued Basis:
The Funds may purchase securities on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis, or for delayed draws on loans can take place a month or more after the trade date. 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 Payables 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.
Mortgage- 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
52
Victory Portfolios II | Notes to Financial Statements — continued June 30, 2021 |
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.
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.
Bank 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.
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.
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
53
Victory Portfolios II | Notes to Financial Statements — continued June 30, 2021 |
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 a component of Interest income on the Statements of Operations.
The 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. 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"). 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 Citibank 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 Fund could experience a delay in recovering its 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 June 30, 2021. 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.

Victory Portfolios II | Notes to Financial Statements — continued June 30, 2021 |
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 the Funds are charged to the Funds, while expenses that 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.
Cross-Trade Transactions:
Pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act, the Funds may engage in securities transactions with affiliated investment companies and advisory accounts managed by the Adviser and any applicable sub-adviser. Any such purchase or sale transaction must be effected without brokerage commission or other remuneration, except for customary transfer fees. The transaction must be effected at the current market price, which is either the security's last sale price on an exchange or, if there are no transactions in the security that day, at the average of the highest bid and lowest asked price. For the year ended June 30, 2021, the Fund engaged in the following securities transactions with affiliated funds, which resulted in the following net realized gains (losses):

5. Risks:
The Funds may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
Debt Securities or Bond Risk — The Funds are subject to the risk that the market value of the bonds in the Funds' portfolios will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates, changes in the supply of and demand for debt securities, and other market factors. Bond prices generally are linked to the prevailing market interest rates. In general, when interest rates rise, bond prices typically fall; conversely, when interest rates fall, bond prices typically rise. The price volatility of a bond also depends on its duration, which is a measure of a bond's sensitivity to a change in interest rates. Generally, the longer the duration of a bond, the greater is its sensitivity to interest rates. To compensate investors for this higher interest rate risk, bonds with longer durations generally offer higher yields than bonds with shorter durations. Should the U.S. Federal Reserve raise interest rates, the Funds may be subject to risks associated with rising interest rates. The fixed-income securities in the Funds' portfolios also are subject to credit risk, which is the possibility that an issuer of a fixedincome security cannot make timely interest and principal payments on its securities or that negative market perceptions of the issuer's ability to make such payments will cause the price of that security to decline. The Funds accept some credit risk as a recognized means to enhance an investor's return.
57
Victory Portfolios II | Notes to Financial Statements — continued June 30, 2021 |
High-Yield Bond Risk — Fixed-income securities rated below investment grade, also known as "junk" or high-yield bonds, generally entail greater credit and liquidity risk than investment-grade securities. Their prices also may be more volatile, especially during economic downturns and financial setbacks or liquidity events. The Funds' values could be hurt by price declines due to actual or perceived changes in an issuer's ability to make such payments. These securities are considered by the major rating agencies to be predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer's continuing ability to pay principal and interest, and they carry a greater risk that the issuer of such securities will default on the timely payment of principal and interest. Issuers of securities that are in default or have defaulted may fail to resume principal or interest payments, in which case the Funds may lose their entire investment. The creditworthiness of issuers of these securities may be more complex to analyze than that of issuers of investment-grade debt securities, and the overreliance on credit ratings may present additional risks.
Asset-Backed and Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk — Mortgage- and asset-backed securities ("MBS" or "ABS," respectively) differ from conventional debt securities because principal is paid back over the life of the security rather than at maturity. MBS and ABS are subject to prepayment or call risk, which is the risk that a borrower's payments may be received earlier than expected due to changes in prepayment rates on underlying loans. As a result, the Funds may reinvest these early payments at lower interest rates, thereby reducing the Fund's income. These securities also are subject to extension risk, which is the risk that the life of the ABS or MBS may be extended due to higher interest rates and lower prepayments. As a result, the value of the securities will decrease. The value of MBS can be impacted by factors affecting the housing market, and MBS also are subject to the risk of high default rates on the mortgages within the mortgage pool. The liquidity of non-agency or privately issued ABS or MBS securities, in particular those that are rated as non-investment grade, may change dramatically over time.
6. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:
Line of Credit:
The Victory Funds Complex participate in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 29, 2021, with a termination date of June 27, 2022. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex 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, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with Victory Floating Rate Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended June 30, 2021, 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. For the period June 29, 2020, through April 30, 2021, under an amended Line of Credit agreement, Citibank received an annual upfront fee of 0.10% on the $300 million committed line of credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex paid a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Effective with the renewal, the annual commitment fee of 0.15% remains unchanged and the upfront fee of 0.10% was discontinued. Interest charged to each fund during the period, if applicable, is presented on the Statements of Operations under Line of credit fees.
The Funds had no borrowings under the Line of Credit during the year ended June 30, 2021.
7. Federal Income Tax Information:
Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid as noted in the table below. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually from each Fund.

Victory Portfolios II | Notes to Financial Statements — continued June 30, 2021 |
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 the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
As of June 30, 2021, on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, reclassification adjustments were as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
Victory Portfolios ll
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, of VictoryShares USAA Core Short-Term Bond ETF and VictoryShares USAA Core Intermediate-Term Bond ETF (the "Funds"), each a series of Victory Portfolios ll, as of June 30, 2021, and the related statements of operations for the year ended, and the statements of changes in net assets, the related notes, and financial highlights for the year ended June 30, 2021, for the ten months ended June 30, 2020 and for the year ended August 31, 2019 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of June 30, 2021, the results of their operations for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights for the year ended June 30, 2021, for the ten months ended June 30, 2020 and for the year ended August 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Funds' financial highlights for the period ended August 31,2018, were audited by other auditors whose report dated October 25, 2018, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds' financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies advised by Victory Capital Management, Inc. since 2015.

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information
Proxy Voting:
Information regarding the policies and procedures the Funds use 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 12 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 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Expense Examples
As a shareholder of the Funds, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, 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 January 1, 2021, through June 30, 2021.
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 the 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 below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Liquidity Risk Management Program:
The Victory Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the "LRMP") as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration the Fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions; its short- and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other liquidity management tools such as available funding sources including the Victory Funds Complex Interfund Lending Facility and Line of Credit (discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements). The Victory Funds' Board of Trustees approved the appointment of the Funds' investment adviser, Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital"), as the administrator of the LRMP.
Victory Capital manages liquidity risks associated with the Funds' investments by monitoring, among other things, cash and cash equivalents, any use of derivatives, the concentration of investments, the appropriateness of the Fund's investment strategy, and by classifying every Fund investment as either highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid or illiquid on at least a monthly basis. To assist with the classification of Fund investments, Victory Capital has retained a third-party provider of liquidity evaluation services. This provider determines preliminary liquidity classifications for all portfolio holdings based upon portfolio-level data and certain assumptions provided by Victory Capital. Victory Capital reviews the preliminary liquidity classifications and, when appropriate, considers other information including input from the Fund's portfolio managers (including the portfolio managers employed by any investment sub-advisers) in determining final liquidity classifications.
At a meeting held on February 18, 2021, Victory Capital provided an oral and written report to the Trustees on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP during the previous year. The report from Victory Capital concluded that the Funds did not experience any significant liquidity challenges during the covered period, and the Funds' LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage its liquidity risk. The report also concluded that the LRMP continues to operate adequately and effectively to enable Victory Capital to oversee and manage liquidity risk and ensure the Funds are able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution to the remaining investors' interest in the Funds. During the review period, the Fund's portfolio consisted primarily of highly liquid investments, which are defined as cash and any investments that the Funds reasonably expect to be converted to cash in current market conditions in three business days or less without significantly changing the market value of the investment. Therefore, the Funds have not adopted a highly liquid investment minimum. The Funds' investments were below the limitation on illiquid investments during the review period. Additionally, Victory Capital indicated that no events occurred that would require the filing of Form N-LIQUID and recommended no material changes to the LRMP.

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 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.

Victory Funds Letter to Shareholders
(Unaudited)
Dear Shareholder,
Never a dull moment. A year ago, we were still coming to grips with a global pandemic, hoping for an effective vaccine, and wondering whether the U.S. Federal Reserve's (the "Fed") aggressive actions would continue to mollify financial markets. As it turns out, a vaccine was rolled out (domestically) faster than expectations, and a recovery that began during the second quarter of 2020 continued unabated.
Fast forward to today and investors are suddenly more concerned about labor shortages, rising commodity prices, and whether inflation will prove to be transitory or more lasting. If anything, this merely exemplifies that markets are unpredictable and the environment can and will change rapidly.
Reflecting on the past year, we must consider ourselves fortunate despite the myriad challenges. For starters, it was impressive how quickly the various forms of monetary and fiscal stimulus contributed to a rebound in GDP. Of course, it wasn't a straight line upward and there were bouts of elevated volatility in both bond and stock markets. Late in 2020, for example, financial markets were alternately fueled and roiled by a contentious election season, growing optimism for an effective vaccine, and a fluid debate regarding the need for even more stimulus. Ultimately, stocks were propelled higher in the fourth quarter of 2020 as it became clear Congress would provide another dose of stimulus in the form of direct payments, more unemployment insurance, and additional aid to businesses.
As we moved into 2021, stocks continued their upward trajectory. Meanwhile, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury continued rallying sharply as many investors began to shift their focus. Deflation was out; inflation was in. Indeed, the potential for a new era of inflation and higher interest rates seems to be the new worry du jour.
Through all the volatility and surprises, the S&P 500® Index registered an impressive annual return of 40.79% for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2021. In fact, this broad market index ended the reporting period at an all-time high. Over this same period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 79 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point), reflecting a very low starting rate, substantial fiscal stimulus, and the Fed's ongoing accommodative monetary policy. At the end of the reporting period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury was 1.45%.
No doubt, the past year is not one we will forget any time soon. There were many hardships, but we should not overlook the positives and remember our collective spirit and perseverance. Markets endured and even surprised to the upside, but perhaps the key takeaway is that investors need to remain calm in the face of adversity and focused on longer-term investment goals. That's usually the best approach no matter what the markets throw at us.

What were the market conditions during the year ended June 30, 2021?
The global financial markets produced healthy returns during the second half of 2020, wrapping up a positive year for the major asset classes. Investors' appetite for risk improved considerably in early November, when the approval of vaccines for COVID-19 raised expectations that the world economy could gradually return to normal in 2021. The conclusion of the U.S. elections, which removed a source of uncertainty that had depressed performance in September and October, was an additional tailwind. The markets were also aided by continued indications that the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") and other central banks would maintain their highly accommodative policies indefinitely. Not least, an agreement on a new round of U.S. fiscal stimulus further cheered investors in late December. Together, these developments outweighed negative headlines surrounding renewed lockdowns and the persistence of the novel coronavirus.
The first quarter of 2021 proved to be a continuation of the strong equity markets investors experienced over the second half of 2020. Gains from global equity markets were fueled by optimism surrounding the successful rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines coupled with further monetary and fiscal stimulus proposals. Faster-than-expected economic growth produced a meaningful increase in real interest rates, which led to negative returns across most major fixed-income asset classes. The 10-year U.S. Treasury bond yield finished at its highest level of the reporting period climbing from under 1% to 1.74%.
In the second quarter of 2021, equity markets have been consolidating and interest rates have been leveling off after large upswings. With strong first quarter of 2021 Gross Domestic Product and corporate earnings growth in the rearview mirror, investors seem to be contemplating their next move. Equity markets rotated from value to growth leadership as U.S. Treasury bond yields retreated from the highs of March. Inflation data has been increasing as the economy reopens more quickly than expected. The Fed maintains that inflationary pressure is transitory but could become more persistent. The inflationary environment will be a key metric moving into the second half of the year.
How did VictoryShares USAA MSCI USA Value Momentum ETF (the "Fund") perform during the year ended June 30, 2021?
The Fund returned 47.02%, narrowly underperforming its benchmark, MSCI USA Select Value Momentum Blend Index (the "Index"), which returned 47.46% for the period. The difference in performance of the Fund and the Index was primarily due to the Fund's fees and expenses. The Index is not an investable product; therefore, fees and expenses do not apply.
In tracking the Index and its rules-based methodology, the Fund, which provides exposure to U.S. large- and mid-cap stocks with value and momentum characteristics, was positively impacted by double-digit returns across all sectors. The top contributing sectors were Information Technology, Financials, and Industrials, which collectively made up over a third of the portfolio. The lowest contributing sector was Energy due to its low representation in the Fund and the Index. None of the sectors had negative contributions over the evaluation period.

Victory Portfolios II | Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2021 |
1. Organization:
Victory Portfolios II (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and 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 24 funds, 22 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. The accompanying financial statements are those of the following four Funds (collectively, the "Funds" and individually, a "Fund"). Each Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.
Funds (Legal Name) | Funds (Short Name) | ||||||
VictoryShares USAA MSCI USA Value Momentum ETF | USAA MSCI USA Value Momentum Index 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 |
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. A Fund's 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 under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.
Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the 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"). Creation Units are issued and redeemed in exchange for a basket of securities included in the respective Fund's Index (the "Deposit Securities"), and/or with the deposit of a specified cash payment (the "Cash Component"), plus a transaction fee. Shares trade on the Exchange at market prices that may be below, at, or above NAV. Shares of a Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions ("Authorized Participants"). An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. 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.
72
Victory Portfolios II | Notes to Financial Statements — continued June 30, 2021 |
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* | ||||||||||
USAA MSCI USA Value Momentum ETF | $ | 500 | 2.00 | % | |||||||
USAA MSCI USA Small Cap Value Momentum ETF | 750 | 2.00 | % | ||||||||
USAA MSCI International Value Momentum ETF | 3,000 | 2.00 | % | ||||||||
USAA MSCI Emerging Markets Value Momentum ETF | 5,500 | 2.00 | % |
* As a percentage of the amount invested.
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.
Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or the "Adviser") has established the Pricing and Liquidity Committee (the "Committee"), and subject to Trust's Board of Trustees' (the "Board") oversight, the Committee administers and oversees the Funds' valuation policies and procedures, which are approved by the Board.
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 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.
73
Victory Portfolios II | Notes to Financial Statements — continued June 30, 2021 |
In the event that price quotations or valuations are not readily available, investments 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. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and the actual price realized from the sale of a security may differ materially from the fair value price. Valuing these securities at fair value is intended to cause the Fund's NAV to be more reliable than it otherwise would be.
A summary of the valuations as of June 30, 2021, is included in the table below while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments:

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:
Certain 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. The Funds 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 Funds record 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. The Funds 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 June 30, 2021, 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. The Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds 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. The Funds 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 Funds had not entered into any futures transactions. In addition, the value of the Funds' futures positions may not prove to be perfectly or even highly correlated with the value of its portfolio securities or foreign currencies, limiting the Funds' 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 June 30, 2021, 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.
The table below, as of June 30, 2021, 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.

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"). 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 Citibank 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 Fund could experience a delay in recovering its 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 June 30, 2021. These transactions are accounted for as secured borrowings with an overnight and continuous contractual maturity for cash collateral, and greater than overnight and continuous contractual maturity for non-cash collateral.

Foreign Currency Translations:
The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities of a Fund denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the date of the transactions. The Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are disclosed as Net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on 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 the Funds are charged to the Funds, while expenses that 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 year ended June 30, 2021, were as follows. Any realized gains or losses from in-kind redemptions are reflected on the Statements of Operations as Net realized gains (losses) from in-kind redemptions.

5. Risks:
The Funds 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 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 Schedules of Portfolio Investments include 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.
6. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:
Line of Credit:
The Victory Funds Complex participates in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 29, 2021, with a termination date of June 27, 2022. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex 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, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with Victory Floating Rate Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended June 30, 2021, 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. For the period June 29, 2020, through April 30, 2021, under an amended Line of Credit agreement, Citibank received an annual
82
Victory Portfolios II | Notes to Financial Statements — continued June 30, 2021 |
upfront fee of 0.10% on the $300 million committed line of credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex paid a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Effective with the renewal, the annual commitment fee of 0.15% remains unchanged and the upfront fee of 0.10% was discontinued. Interest charged to each fund during the period, if applicable, is presented on the Statements of Operations under Line of credit fees.
The average borrowing for the days outstanding and average interest rate for each Fund that utilized the Line of Credit during the year ended June 30, 2021, were as follows:
Amount Outstanding at June 30, 2021 | Average Borrowings | Days Borrowing Outstanding | Average Interest Rate* | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | |||||||||||||||||||
USAA MSCI USA Value Momentum ETF | $ | — | $ | 4,600,000 | 2 | 1.14 | % | $ | 4,600,000 | ||||||||||||||
USAA MSCI International Value Momentum ETF | — | 65,000,000 | 4 | 1.14 | % | 65,000,000 | |||||||||||||||||
USAA MSCI Emerging Markets Value Momentum ETF | — | 18,575,000 | 12 | 1.18 | % | 36,000,000 |
* For the year ended June 30, 2021, based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding.
7. Federal Income Tax Information:
Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid as noted in the table below. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually from each Fund.
Declared | Paid | ||||||||||
USAA MSCI USA Value Momentum ETF | Monthly | Monthly | |||||||||
USAA MSCI USA Small Cap Value Momentum ETF | Monthly | Monthly | |||||||||
USAA MSCI International Value Momentum ETF | Monthly | Monthly | |||||||||
USAA MSCI Emerging Markets Value Momentum ETF | Monthly | Monthly |
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 the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
As of June 30, 2021, on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, reclassification adjustments (inclusive of in-kind redemptions as applicable) were as follows:
| Total Accumulated Earnings/(Loss) | Capital | |||||||||

8. 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 or 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.
Section 12(d)(3) of the 1940 Act, and Rule 12d3-1(c) under the 1940 Act, generally prohibit a fund from purchasing the securities issued by, among other entities, a fund's investment adviser. When a fund's investment objective is to track the performance of an unaffiliated index by investing in the stocks that comprise that index, the staff of the SEC has taken the position that, subject to certain conditions, the fund may establish and maintain a position in the common stock of an affiliate of the fund's investment adviser in an amount approximately in proportion to the percentage that the stock is represented in the index. In seeking to provide investment results that closely correspond to its respective unaffiliated index, one or more Funds may hold the securities of Victory Capital Holdings, Inc., the parent company of VCM and other Fund service providers.
Transactions in affiliated securities during the year ended June 30, 2021 were as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of Victory Portfolios ll
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, of VictoryShares USAA MSCI USA Value Momentum ETF, VictoryShares USAA MSCI USA Small Cap Value Momentum ETF, VictoryShares USAA MSCI International Value Momentum ETF, and VictoryShares USAA MSCI Emerging Markets Value Momentum ETF (the "Funds"), each a series of Victory Portfolios ll, as of June 30, 2021, and the related statements of operations for the year the ended, and the statements of changes in net assets, the related notes, and financial highlights for the year ended June 30, 2021, for the ten months ended June 30, 2020 and for the year ended August 31, 2019 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of June 30, 2021, the results of their operations for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights for the year ended June 30, 2021, for the ten months ended June 30, 2020 and for the year ended August 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Funds' financial highlights for the period ended August 31, 2018, were audited by other auditors whose report dated October 25, 2018, expressed an unqualified opinion on those highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds' financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies advised by Victory Capital Management, Inc. since 2015.

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information
Proxy Voting:
Information regarding the policies and procedures the Funds use 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 12 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 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Expense Examples
As a shareholder of the Funds, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, 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 January 1, 2021, through June 30, 2021.
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 the 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 below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Liquidity Risk Management Program:
The Victory Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the "LRMP") as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration the Fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions; its short- and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other liquidity management tools such as available funding sources including the Victory Funds Complex Interfund Lending Facility and Line of Credit (discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements). The Victory Funds' Board of Trustees approved the appointment of the Funds' investment adviser, Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital"), as the administrator of the LRMP.
Victory Capital manages liquidity risks associated with the Funds' investments by monitoring, among other things, cash and cash equivalents, any use of derivatives, the concentration of investments, the appropriateness of the Fund's investment strategy, and by classifying every Fund investment as either highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid or illiquid on at least a monthly basis. To assist with the classification of Fund investments, Victory Capital has retained a third-party provider of liquidity evaluation services. This provider determines preliminary liquidity classifications for all portfolio holdings based upon portfolio-level data and certain assumptions provided by Victory Capital. Victory Capital reviews the preliminary liquidity classifications and, when appropriate, considers other information including input from the Fund's portfolio managers (including the portfolio managers employed by any investment sub-advisers) in determining final liquidity classifications.
At a meeting held on February 18, 2021, Victory Capital provided an oral and written report to the Trustees on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP during the previous year. The report from Victory Capital concluded that the Funds did not experience any significant liquidity challenges during the covered period, and the Funds' LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage its liquidity risk. The report also concluded that the LRMP continues to operate adequately and effectively to enable Victory Capital to oversee and manage liquidity risk and ensure the Funds are able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution to the remaining investors' interest in the Funds. During the review period, the Fund's portfolio consisted primarily of highly liquid investments, which are defined as cash and any investments that the Fund reasonably expects to be converted to cash in current market conditions in three business days or less without significantly changing the market value of the investment. Therefore, the Funds have not adopted a highly liquid investment minimum. The Funds' investments were below the limitation on illiquid investments during the review period. Additionally, Victory Capital indicated that no events occurred that would require the filing of Form N-LIQUID and recommended no material changes to the LRMP.
