(Unaudited)
1. Organization:
Victory Portfolios (the "Trust") was organized on December 6, 1995 as a Delaware statutory trust as a successor to a company named "The Victory Portfolios," which was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on February 5, 1986. 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 42 funds and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with a par value of $0.001 per share. Each Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.
The accompanying financial statements are those of the following six Funds (collectively, the "Funds" and individually, a "Fund"):
Funds (Legal Name) | | Funds (Short Name) | | Investment Share Classes Offered | |
Victory Diversified Stock Fund | | Diversified Stock Fund | | Class A, C, I, R, R6, and Y | |
Victory NewBridge Large Cap Growth Fund | | NewBridge Large Cap Growth Fund | | Class A, C, I and Y | |
Victory Special Value Fund | | Special Value Fund | | Class A, C, I, R and Y | |
Victory Strategic Allocation Fund | | Strategic Allocation Fund | | Class A, C, I and R | |
Victory INCORE Fund for Income | | INCORE Fund for Income | | Class A, C, I, R, R6 and Y | |
Victory INCORE Investment Grade Convertible Fund | | INCORE Investment Grade Convertible Fund | | Class A and I | |
Each class of shares of a Fund has substantially identical rights and privileges except with respect to sales charges, fees paid under distribution plans, expenses allocable exclusively to each class of shares, voting rights on matters solely affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange privilege of each class of shares.
Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect that risk of loss to be remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Funds follow the specialized accounting and reporting requirements under GAAP that are applicable to investment companies.
Investment Valuation:
The Funds record investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Funds' investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities or interest rates applicable to those securities, etc.)
50

(Unaudited)
• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds' own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuation techniques are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with entering into those investments.
Portfolio securities listed or traded on securities exchanges, including American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") and Rights, are valued at the closing price on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, if available, or at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price. If there have been no sales for that day on the exchange or system, then a security is valued at the last available bid quotation on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Debt securities of United States ("U.S.") issuers (other than short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less), including corporate and municipal securities, are valued on the basis of bid valuations provided by dealers or an independent pricing service approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board"). Short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Under the amortized cost method, premium or discount, if any, is amortized or accreted, respectively, on a constant basis to the maturity of the security. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Investments for which there are no such quotations, or for which quotations do not appear reliable, are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Board. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, based on the observability of inputs used to determine the fair value.
A summary of the valuations as of April 30, 2020, based upon the three levels defined above, is included in the table below while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments (amounts in thousands).

For the six months ended April 30, 2020, there were no transfers in or out of the Level 3 fair value hierarchy.
Securities Purchased on a When-Issued Basis:
The Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued basis. When-issued securities are securities purchased for delivery beyond normal settlement periods at a stated price and/or yield, thereby involving the risk that the price and/or yield obtained may be more or less than those available in the market when delivery takes place. At the time a Fund makes the commitment to purchase a security on a when-issued basis, the Fund records the transaction and reflects the value of the security in determining net asset value. No interest accrues to the Fund until the transaction settles and payment takes place. Normally, the settlement date occurs within one month of the purchase. A segregated account is established and the Fund maintains cash and/or marketable securities at least equal in value to commitments for when-issued securities. If a Fund owns when-issued securities, these values are included in Payable for investments purchased on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the segregated assets are identified on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments.
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:
Exchange-Traded Funds ("ETFs"):
The Funds may invest in ETFs. ETFs are a type of index fund, the shares of which are bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and represents a fixed portfolio of securities designed to track the performance and dividend yield of a particular domestic or foreign market index. A Fund may purchase shares of an ETF to temporarily gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market while awaiting purchase of underlying securities. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track, although the lack of liquidity of an ETF could result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.

Victory Portfolios | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued April 30, 2020 | |
(Unaudited)
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 trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis. Paydown gains or losses on applicable securities, if any, are recorded as components of Interest income on the Statements of Operations.
Withholding taxes on interest, dividends and gains as a result of certain investments in ADRs by the Funds have been provided for in accordance with each investment's applicable country's tax rules and rates.
Securities Lending:
The Trust has entered into a Master Securities Lending Agreement ("MSLA") with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank" or the "Agent"). Under the terms of the MSLA, the Funds may lend securities to certain broker-dealers and banks in exchange for collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non-U.S. securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls associated with increases in the valuation of the securities loaned are adjusted the next business day. The collateral can be received in the form of cash collateral and/or non-cash collateral. Non-cash collateral can include U.S. Government Securities, letters of credit and certificates of deposit. The cash collateral is invested in short-term instruments or cash equivalents, primarily open-end investment companies, as noted in the Funds' Schedules of Portfolio Investments. The Trust does not have effective control of the non-cash collateral and therefore it is not disclosed in the Funds' Schedules of Portfolio Investments. During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the Funds any dividends or interest paid on such securities plus any fee negotiated between the parties to the lending agreement. The Funds also earn a return from the collateral. The Funds pay the Agent various fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral and fees based on the investment income received from securities lending activities. Securities lending income (net of these fees) is disclosed on the Statements of Operations. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Funds could experience a delay in recovering their securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them.
Securities lending transactions are entered into by a Fund under the MSLA, which permits the Fund, under certain circumstances such as an event of default, to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts receivable from the counterparty to create a net payment due to or from the Fund.
The following table (amounts in thousands) is a summary of the Funds' securities lending transactions which are subject to offset under the MSLA as of April 30, 2020. These transactions are accounted for as secured borrowings with an overnight and continuous contractual maturity for cash collateral and greater than overnight and continuous contractual maturity for non-cash collateral.

* Collateral received in excess of the market value of securities on loan is not presented in this table. The total cash collateral received by each Fund is disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Distributions to Shareholders:
Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid monthly for the INCORE Fund for Income. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly for the Diversified Stock Fund, Strategic Allocation Fund and INCORE Investment Grade Convertible Fund. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually for the NewBridge Large Cap Growth Fund and Special Value Fund. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually from each Fund.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively, distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by a Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
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 October 31.
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., all open tax years and the interim tax period since then). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
Allocations:
Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to the Fund, while expenses which are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust, or jointly with an affiliated trust, are allocated among the respective funds in the Trust and/or affiliated trust based upon net assets or another appropriate basis.

Income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses such as transfer agent fees, state registration fees, printing fees and 12b-1 fees), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets on the date income is earned or expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred.

5. Risks:
Each Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
An investment in the Funds' shares represents an indirect investment in the securities owned by the Funds, some of which will be traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter
57
Victory Portfolios | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued April 30, 2020 | |
(Unaudited)
markets. The value of the securities in which the Funds invest, like other market investments, may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. The value of the securities in which the Funds invest may affect the value of the Funds' shares. An investment in the Funds' shares at any point in time may be worth less than the original investment, even after taking into account the reinvestment of the Funds' distributions.
The Funds will be subject to credit risk with respect to the amount each expects to receive from counterparties for financial instruments entered into by the Funds. The Funds may be negatively impacted if a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties. The Funds may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding and the Funds may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. The Funds typically enter into transactions with counterparties whose credit ratings are investment grade, as determined by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or, if unrated, judged by the Adviser to be of comparable quality.
The INCORE Fund for Income and the INCORE Investment Grade Convertible Bond Fund are subject to credit and interest rate risk with respect to fixed income securities. Credit risk refers to the ability of an issuer to make timely payments of interest and principal. Interest rates may rise or the rate of inflation may increase, impacting the value of investments in fixed income securities. A debt issuers' credit quality may be downgraded or an issuer may default. Interest rates may fluctuate due to changes in governmental fiscal policy initiatives and resulting market reaction to those initiatives.
6. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:
Line of Credit:
For the six months ended April 30, 2020, the Victory Funds Complex participated in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. Under the agreement with Citibank, prior to July 1, 2019, the Victory Funds Complex could borrow up to $250 million, of which $100 million was committed and $150 million was uncommitted. Effective July 1, 2019, the agreement was amended to include the USAA Mutual Funds Complex (another series of mutual funds managed by the Adviser) and has a new termination date of June 29, 2020. Under this amended agreement, the Victory Funds Complex and USAA Mutual Funds Complex, combined, may borrow up to $600 million, of which $300 million is committed and $300 million is uncommitted. $40 million of the Line of Credit is reserved for use by the Victory Floating Rate Fund (herein, the "Fund"), another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with that Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the agreement is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the six months ended April 30, 2020, Citibank received an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $300 million for providing the Line of Credit. For the six months ended April 30, 2020, Citibank earned approximately $225 thousand in commitment fees from the combined Victory Funds Complex and USAA Mutual Funds Complex. 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. Interest charged to each Fund during the period, if applicable, is presented on the Statements of Operations under Line of credit fees.
The Funds did not utilize the Line of Credit during the six months ended April 30, 2020.
Interfund Lending:
The Trust and Adviser rely on an exemptive order granted by the SEC in March 2017 (the "Order"), permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the "Facility"). The Facility allows each Fund to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other Victory Fund relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are allowed for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each fund's borrowing restrictions. The interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. 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 Interfund lending income.
The Funds did not utilize the Interfund Lending during the six months ended April 30, 2020.
7. Federal Income Tax Information:

9. Fund Ownership:
Ownership of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates presumptions of control of the fund, under section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of April 30, 2020, the shareholders listed below held more than 25% of the shares outstanding of the Funds and may be deemed to control those Funds.
Fund | | Shareholder | | Percent | |
INCORE Investment Grade Convertible Fund | | Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC | | | 35.8 | % | |
Special Value Fund | | Talcott Resolution Life Insurance Co. | | | 34.4 | % | |
10. 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 Act. The LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration each 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 Board approved the appointment of VCM as the administrator of the LRMP. At an in-person meeting held on February 20, 2020, VCM provided an oral and written report to the Trustees on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP during the previous year.
VCM 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 each 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, VCM 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 VCM. VCM reviews the preliminary liquidity classifications and, when appropriate, considers other information including input from the Funds' portfolio managers (including the portfolio managers employed by any investment sub-advisers) in determining final liquidity classifications.
The report from VCM 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 VCM to oversee and manage liquidity risk and ensure each Fund is able to meet redemption
60
Victory Portfolios | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued April 30, 2020 | |
(Unaudited)
requests without significant dilution to the remaining investors' interest in each Fund. During the review period, each Fund's portfolio consisted primarily of highly liquid investments, which are defined as cash and any investments reasonably expected 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 Fund has not adopted a Highly Liquid Investment Minimum. The Funds' investments were below the limitation on illiquid investments during the review period. Additionally, VCM indicated that no events occurred that would require the filing of Form N-LIQUID and recommended no material changes to the LRMP.
11. Reclassification Adjustment:
INCORE Fund for Income has restated certain elements of its 2018 financial statements resulting from the identification of a GAAP reclassification error for the Fund's paydown gain (loss) transactions. The Fund accounts for paydown gain (loss) on a tax basis, requiring a GAAP reclassification to its periodic financial statements. This GAAP reclassification was not applied to the Fund's 2018 annual financial statements, which resulted in net investment income being overstated. Certain amounts in the Financial Highlights were misstated; net investment income (loss) per share, net realized and unrealized gains (losses) per share and ratio of net investment income (loss) to average net assets. However, this reclassification had no impact on the Fund's net assets, NAV, performance, or taxable distributions paid and reported to shareholders for the fiscal and tax years ended 2018.
12. Subsequent Events:
An outbreak of respiratory disease called COVID-19 was first detected in China in December 2019 and subsequently spread internationally. The transmission of COVID-19 and efforts to contain its spread have resulted in international, national and local border closings and other significant travel restrictions and disruptions, significant disruptions to business operations, supply chains and consumer activity, significant challenges in healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines and general concern and uncertainty. These negative impacts have caused significant volatility and declines in global financial markets, which have caused losses for Fund investors during and subsequent to period end. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may be short term or may last for an extended period of time, and in either case could result in a substantial economic downturn or recession. Public health crises may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social, economic, market and financial risks. The extent of the impact to the financial performance of the Funds' investments will depend on future developments, including (i) the duration and spread of the outbreak, (ii) the restrictions and advisories, (iii) the effects on the financial markets, and (iv) the effects on the economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information
Proxy Voting:
Information regarding the policies and procedures each Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling 800-539-3863. The information is also included in the Funds' Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Information relating to how the Funds voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve months ended June 30 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments:
The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. Forms N-PORT are available on the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov.
Expense Examples
As a shareholder of the Funds, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, 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 November 1, 2019 through April 30, 2020.
The Actual Expense figures in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
The Hypothetical Expense figures in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Considerations of the Board in Continuing the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement")
The Board approved the Agreement on behalf of each of the Funds at an in-person meeting, which was called for that purpose, on December 4, 2019. The Board also considered information relating to the Funds and the Agreement provided throughout the year and, more specifically, at a meeting on October 22, 2019. In considering whether to approve the Agreement, the Board requested, and the Adviser provided, information that the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to reach its conclusions.
The Board, including the Independent Trustees, evaluated this information along with other information obtained throughout the year and was advised by legal counsel to the Funds, which also serves as independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. In addition, in 2017 the Independent Trustees, through their counsel, retained an independent consultant to assist with a review of the overall process for conducting the annual review of these advisory arrangements.
The Board considered each Fund's advisory fee, expense ratio and investment performance as significant factors in determining whether the Agreement should be continued. In considering whether the compensation paid to the Adviser was fair and reasonable, the Board also evaluated, among other things, the following factors:
• The requirements of the Funds for the services provided by the Adviser;
• The nature, quality and extent of the services provided and expected to be provided;
• The performance of the Funds as compared to comparable funds;
• The fees payable for the services and whether the fee arrangements provided for economies of scale that would benefit Fund shareholders as the Funds grow;
• Whether the fee would be sufficient to enable the Adviser to attract and retain experienced personnel and continue to provide quality services to the Funds;
• The fees paid by other clients of the Adviser whose accounts are managed in a similar investment style and any differences in the services provided to the other clients compared to those provided to the Funds;
• The total expenses of each Fund, taking into consideration any distribution or shareholder servicing fees;
• Management's commitment to operating the Funds at competitive expense levels;
• The profitability of the Adviser (as reflected by comparing fees earned against an estimate of the Adviser's costs) with respect to the Adviser's relationship with the Funds;
• Research and other service benefits received by the Adviser obtained through payment of client commissions for securities transactions;
• Other indirect benefits received by the Adviser, and its affiliates, including revenues paid to the Adviser, or its affiliates, by the Funds for administration and fund accounting services, and distribution;
• The capabilities and financial condition of the Adviser;
• Current economic and industry trends; and
• The historical relationship between each Fund and the Adviser.
The Board reviewed each Fund's current management fee, comprised of the advisory fee plus the administrative services fee paid to the Adviser, in the context of the Adviser's profitability with respect to each Fund individually. In addition, the Board compared each Fund's gross management fees and total operating expense ratio on a net and gross basis, taking into consideration any distribution or shareholder servicing fees, with the median gross management fee and median expense ratio of a universe of comparable mutual funds compiled by an independent consultant and a peer group of funds with similar investment strategies selected by that independent consultant from the universe. The Board reviewed the factors and methodology used by the independent consultant in the selection of each Fund's peer group, including the independent consultant's selection of a broad universe of funds, the more specific universe of comparable funds, and peer groups of funds with comparable investment strategies and asset levels, among other factors. The Board also reviewed any changes to the independent consultant's methodology as compared to the prior year, including those resulting from the Adviser's input, if any. With respect to certain Funds, the Board also reviewed fees and other information related
64
Victory Portfolios | | Supplemental Information — continued April 30, 2020 | |
(Unaudited)
to the Adviser's management of similarly managed institutional or private accounts, and the differences in the services provided to these other accounts. The Board also noted that the breakpoints in the advisory fee schedule for some of the Funds evidenced one way in which the Adviser has shown a willingness to share in its economies of scale.
The Board found that the gross annual management fee paid by each Fund was within the range of management fees paid by each Fund's respective peer group. The Board noted that, except for the Strategic Allocation Fund, each Fund's advisory fee structure contained at least one breakpoint. The Board also noted that the Adviser contractually agreed to waive the advisory fee payable by the Strategic Allocation Fund through February 28, 2020. The Board also found that each Fund's Class A net annual expense ratio, taking into account any shareholder servicing or distribution fees, was reasonable as compared with each Fund's respective peer group. The Board considered the Adviser's contractual agreement with each Fund to waive its fees and reimburse expenses of certain classes for a specified period of time, as described in the Fund's prospectus.
The Board reviewed each Fund's performance over one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods (as applicable) against the performance of the Fund's selected peer group and benchmark index. The Board recognized that the performance of the Funds and the peer group funds are net of expenses, while the performance of the benchmark index reflects gross returns. The Board considered the additional resources that the Adviser has committed to enhance portfolio analysis, compliance and trading systems.
The Board reviewed various other specific factors with respect to each Fund, as described below. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not rank the importance of any particular information or factor considered and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors.
Victory Diversified Stock Fund:
The Board compared the Fund's Class A performance for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended June 30, 2019, to that of the median performance of the peer group and benchmark index for the same periods and considered the fact that the Fund underperformed both the benchmark index and the peer group median for all of the periods reviewed. The Board noted that the Fund's portfolio management team changed in May 2017. The Board discussed the Fund's investment strategy, the Adviser's implementation of the strategy, and related market conditions, together with relevant fee and expense considerations. The Board also discussed the steps that had been or could be taken by the Adviser to enhance performance in the future, and the Board's continued monitoring of the Fund's performance.
Having considered, among other things: (1) the Fund's management fee compared to comparable mutual funds; (2) the Fund's total expense ratio compared to comparable mutual funds; (3) that the Adviser's willingness to limit the expenses of certain classes for a period of time would provide stability to the Fund's expenses for those share classes during that period; and (4) the Fund's performance during the periods reviewed, the Board concluded that the Agreement continued to be in the best interests of the Fund's shareholders.
NewBridge Large Cap Growth Fund:
The Board compared the Fund's Class A performance for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended June 30, 2019, to that of the median performance of the peer group and benchmark index for the same periods and considered the fact that the Fund underperformed both the benchmark index and the peer group median for all of the periods reviewed. The Adviser discussed the Fund's performance in the context of the Fund's investment strategy. The Board discussed the Fund's investment strategy, the Adviser's implementation of the strategy, and related market conditions, together with relevant fee and expense considerations. The Board also discussed the steps that had been or could be taken by the Adviser to enhance performance in the future, and the Board's continued monitoring of the Fund's performance.

Special Value Fund:
The Board compared the Fund's Class A performance for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended June 30, 2019, to that of the median performance of the peer group and benchmark index for the same periods and considered the fact that the Fund underperformed both the benchmark index and the peer group median for all of the periods reviewed.

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

1. Organization:
Victory Portfolios (the "Trust") was organized on December 6, 1995 as a Delaware statutory trust as a successor to a company named "The Victory Portfolios," which was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on February 5, 1986. 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 42 funds and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with a par value of $0.001 per share. Each Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.
The accompanying financial statements are those of the following two Funds (collectively, the "Funds" and individually, a "Fund"):
Funds (Legal Name) | | Funds (Short Name)* | | Investment Share Classes Offered | |
Victory Sycamore Established Value Fund | | Sycamore Established Value Fund | | Class A, C, I, R, R6 and Y | |
Victory Sycamore Small Company Opportunity Fund | | Sycamore Small Company Opportunity Fund | | Class A, I, R, R6 and Y | |
* The Funds are generally closed to new investors. The Funds will continue to be available for investment (by direct purchase or exchange) by only: existing shareholders, investors that purchase shares through certain intermediaries, retirement plans that purchase shares through certain record keepers, and current and retired Fund trustees, officers, employees of Victory Capital Management Inc. and affiliated providers, and their family members.
Each class of shares of a Fund has substantially identical rights and privileges except with respect to sales charges, fees paid under distribution plans, expenses allocable exclusively to each class of shares, voting rights on matters solely affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange privilege of each class of shares.
Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect that risk of loss to be remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Funds follow the specialized accounting and reporting requirements under GAAP that are applicable to investment companies.
Investment Valuation:
The Funds record investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Funds' investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
24
Victory Portfolios | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued April 30, 2020 | |
(Unaudited)
• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities or interest rates applicable to those securities, etc.)
• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds' own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuation techniques are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with entering into those investments.
Portfolio securities listed or traded on securities exchanges, including American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") and Rights, are valued at the closing price on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, if available, or at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price. If there have been no sales for that day on the exchange or system, then a security is valued at the last available bid quotation on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Investments for which there are no such quotations, or for which quotations do not appear reliable, are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board"). These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, based on the observability of inputs used to determine the fair value.
A summary of the valuations as of April 30, 2020, based upon the three levels defined above, is included in the table below while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments (amounts in thousands).

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:
Exchange-Traded Funds ("ETFs"):
The Funds may invest in ETFs. ETFs are a type of index fund, the shares of which are bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and represents a fixed portfolio of securities
25
Victory Portfolios | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued April 30, 2020 | |
(Unaudited)
designed to track the performance and dividend yield of a particular domestic or foreign market index. A Fund may purchase shares of an ETF to temporarily gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market while awaiting purchase of underlying securities. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track, although the lack of liquidity of an ETF could result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.
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 trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis. Paydown gains or losses on applicable securities, if any, are recorded as components of Interest income on the Statements of Operations.
Withholding taxes on interest, dividends and gains as a result of certain investments in ADRs by the Funds have been provided for in accordance with each investment's applicable country's tax rules and rates.
Securities Lending:
The Trust has entered into a Master Securities Lending Agreement ("MSLA") with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank" or the "Agent"). Under the terms of the MSLA, the Funds may lend securities to certain broker-dealers and banks in exchange for collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non-U.S. securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls associated with increases in the valuation of the securities loaned are adjusted the next business day. The collateral can be received in the form of cash collateral and/or non-cash collateral. Non-cash collateral can include U.S. Government Securities, letters of credit and certificates of deposit. The cash collateral is invested in short-term instruments or cash equivalents, primarily open-end investment companies, as noted in the Funds' Schedules of Portfolio Investments. The Trust does not have effective control of the non-cash collateral and therefore it is not disclosed on the Funds' Schedules of Portfolio Investments. During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the Funds any dividends or interest paid on such securities plus any fee negotiated between the parties to the lending agreement. The Funds also earn a return from the collateral. The Funds pay the Agent various fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral and fees based on the investment income received from securities lending activities. Securities lending income (net of these fees) is disclosed on the Statements of Operations. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Funds could experience a delay in recovering their securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them.
Securities lending transactions are entered into by a Fund under the MSLA, which permits the Fund, under certain circumstances such as an event of default, to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts receivable from the counterparty to create a net payment due to or from the Fund.
The following table (amounts in thousands) is a summary of the Funds' securities lending transactions which are subject to offset under the MSLA as of April 30, 2020. These transactions are accounted for
26

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 in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Distributions to Shareholders:
Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly for the Sycamore Established Value Fund. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually for the Sycamore Small Company Opportunity Fund. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually from each Fund.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively, distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by a Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
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 October 31.
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., all open tax years and the interim tax period since then). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
Allocations:
Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to the Fund, while expenses which are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust, or jointly with an affiliated trust, are allocated among the respective funds in the Trust and/or affiliated trust based upon net assets or another appropriate basis.
Income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses such as transfer agent fees, state registration fees, printing fees and 12b-1 fees), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets on the date income is earned or expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred.

VCM pays Citi a fee for providing these services. The Trust reimburses VCM and Citi for all of their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing these services.
FIS Investor Services, LLC ("FIS") serves as the Funds' transfer agent. Under the Transfer Agent Agreement, the Trust pays FIS a fee for its services and reimburses FIS for all of their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing these services.
The Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO") is an employee of the Adviser, which pays the compensation of the CCO and his support staff.

Sidley Austin LLP provides legal services to the Trust.
Victory Capital Advisers, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as distributor for the continuous offering of the shares of the Funds pursuant to a Distribution Agreement between the Distributor and the Trust. Effective on or about June 30, 2020, the Distributor's name will change to Victory Capital Services, Inc. Pursuant to the Distribution and Service Plans adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Distributor may receive a monthly distribution and service fee, at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A Shares, at an annual rate of up to 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R Shares of the Funds, and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C Shares of the Funds. The distribution and service fees paid to the Distributor may be used by the Distributor to pay for activities primarily intended to result in the sale of Class A, Class R or Class C Shares of the Funds.
In addition, the Distributor is entitled to receive commissions on sales of the Class A Shares of the Funds. For the six months ended April 30, 2020, the Distributor received approximately $24 thousand from commissions earned on sales of Class A Shares of the Funds.
The Adviser has entered into expense limitation agreements with certain Funds. Under the terms of the agreements, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of a Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. Interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with GAAP, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of a Fund's business are excluded from the expense limits.

5. Risks:
Each Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
An investment in the Funds' shares represents an indirect investment in the securities owned by the Funds, some of which will be traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter markets. The value of the securities in which the Funds invest, like other market investments, may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. The value of the securities in which the Funds invest may affect the value of the Funds' shares. An investment in the Funds' shares at any point in time may be worth less than the original investment, even after taking into account the reinvestment of the Funds' distributions.
The Funds will be subject to credit risk with respect to the amount each expects to receive from counterparties for financial instruments entered into by the Funds. The Funds may be negatively impacted if a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties. The Funds may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding and the Funds may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. The Funds typically enter into transactions with counterparties whose credit ratings are investment grade, as determined by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or, if unrated, judged by the Adviser to be of comparable quality.
6. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:
Line of Credit:
For the six months ended April 30, 2020, the Victory Funds Complex participated in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. Under the agreement with Citibank, prior to July 1, 2019, Victory Funds Complex could borrow up to $250 million, of which $100 million was committed and $150 million was uncommitted. Effective July 1, 2019, the agreement was amended to include the USAA Mutual Funds Complex (another series of mutual funds managed by the Adviser) and has a new termination date of June 29, 2020. Under this amended agreement, the Victory Funds Complex and USAA Mutual Funds Complex, combined, may borrow up to $600 million, of which $300 million is committed and $300 million is uncommitted. $40 million of the Line of Credit is reserved for use by the Victory Floating Rate Fund (herein, the "Fund"), another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with that Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the agreement is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the six months ended April 30, 2020, Citibank received an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $300 million for providing the Line of Credit. For the six months ended April 30, 2020, Citibank earned approximately $225 thousand in commitment fees from the combined Victory Funds Complex and USAA Mutual Funds Complex. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex and the USAA Mutual Funds Complex pay a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest (one month LIBOR plus one percent) on amounts borrowed. Interest charged to each Fund during the period, if applicable, is presented on the Statements of Operations under Line of credit fees.
The Funds did not utilize the Line of Credit during the six months ended April 30, 2020.
Interfund Lending:
The Trust and Adviser rely on an exemptive order granted by the SEC in March 2017 (the "Order"), permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the "Facility"). The Facility allows each Fund to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other Victory Fund relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are allowed for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each fund's borrowing restrictions. The interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. 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 Interfund lending income.

10. 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 Act. The LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration each 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 Board approved the appointment of VCM as the administrator of the LRMP. At an in-person meeting held on February 20, 2020, VCM provided an oral and written report to the Trustees on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP during the previous year.
VCM 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 each 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, VCM 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 VCM. VCM reviews the preliminary liquidity classifications and, when appropriate, considers other information including input from the Funds' portfolio managers (including the portfolio managers employed by any investment sub-advisers) in determining final liquidity classifications.
The report from VCM 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 VCM to oversee and manage liquidity risk and ensure each Fund is able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution to the remaining investors' interest in each Fund. During the review period, each Fund's portfolio consisted primarily of highly liquid investments, which are defined as cash and any investments reasonably expected 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 Fund has not adopted a Highly Liquid Investment Minimum. The Funds' investments were below the limitation on illiquid investments during the review period. Additionally, VCM indicated that no events occurred that would require the filing of Form N-LIQUID and recommended no material changes to the LRMP.
11. Subsequent Events:
An outbreak of respiratory disease called COVID-19 was first detected in China in December 2019 and subsequently spread internationally. The transmission of COVID-19 and efforts to contain its spread have resulted in international, national and local border closings and other significant travel restrictions and disruptions, significant disruptions to business operations, supply chains and consumer activity, significant challenges in healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines and general concern and uncertainty. These negative impacts have caused significant volatility and declines in global financial markets, which have caused losses for Fund investors during and subsequent to period end. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may be short term or may last for an extended period of time, and in either case could result in a substantial economic downturn or recession. Public health crises may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social, economic, market and financial risks. The extent of the impact to the financial performance of the Funds' investments will depend on future developments, including (i) the duration and spread of the outbreak, (ii) the restrictions and advisories, (iii) the effects on the financial markets, and (iv) the effects on the economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information
Proxy Voting:
Information regarding the policies and procedures each Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling 800-539-3863. The information is also included in the Funds' Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Information relating to how the Funds voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve months ended June 30 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments:
The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. Forms N-PORT are available on the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov.
Expense Examples
As a shareholder of the Funds, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, 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 November 1, 2019 through April 30, 2020.
The Actual Expense figures in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
The Hypothetical Expense figures in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Considerations of the Board in Continuing the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement")
The Board approved the Agreement on behalf of each of the Funds at an in-person meeting, which was called for that purpose, on December 4, 2019. The Board also considered information relating to the Funds and the Agreement provided throughout the year and, more specifically, at a meeting on October 22, 2019. In considering whether to approve the Agreement, the Board requested, and the Adviser provided, information that the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to reach its conclusions.
The Board, including the Independent Trustees, evaluated this information along with other information obtained throughout the year and was advised by legal counsel to the Funds, which also serves as independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. In addition, in 2017 the Independent Trustees, through their counsel, retained an independent consultant to assist with a review of the overall process for conducting the annual review of these advisory arrangements.
The Board considered each Fund's advisory fee, expense ratio and investment performance as significant factors in determining whether the Agreement should be continued. In considering whether the compensation paid to the Adviser was fair and reasonable, the Board also evaluated, among other things, the following factors:
• The requirements of the Funds for the services provided by the Adviser;
• The nature, quality and extent of the services provided and expected to be provided;
• The performance of the Funds as compared to comparable funds;
• The fees payable for the services and whether the fee arrangements provided for economies of scale that would benefit Fund shareholders as the Funds grow;
• Whether the fee would be sufficient to enable the Adviser to attract and retain experienced personnel and continue to provide quality services to the Funds;
• The fees paid by other clients of the Adviser whose accounts are managed in a similar investment style and any differences in the services provided to the other clients compared to those provided to the Funds;
• The total expenses of each Fund, taking into consideration any distribution or shareholder servicing fees;
• Management's commitment to operating the Funds at competitive expense levels;
• The profitability of the Adviser (as reflected by comparing fees earned against an estimate of the Adviser's costs) with respect to the Adviser's relationship with the Funds;
• Research and other service benefits received by the Adviser obtained through payment of client commissions for securities transactions;
• Other indirect benefits received by the Adviser, and its affiliates, including revenues paid to the Adviser, or its affiliates, by the Funds for administration and fund accounting services, and distribution;
• The capabilities and financial condition of the Adviser;
• Current economic and industry trends; and
• The historical relationship between each Fund and the Adviser.
The Board reviewed each Fund's current management fee, comprised of the advisory fee plus the administrative services fee paid to the Adviser, in the context of the Adviser's profitability with respect to each Fund individually. In addition, the Board compared each Fund's gross management fees and total operating expense ratio on a net and gross basis, taking into consideration any distribution or shareholder servicing fees, with the median gross management fee and median expense ratio of a universe of comparable mutual funds compiled by an independent consultant and a peer group of funds with similar investment strategies selected by that independent consultant from the universe. The Board reviewed the factors and methodology used by the independent consultant in the selection of each Fund's peer group, including the independent consultant's selection of a broad universe of funds, the more specific universe of comparable funds, and peer groups of funds with comparable investment strategies and asset levels, among other factors. The Board also reviewed any changes to the independent consultant's methodology as compared to the prior year, including those resulting from the Adviser's input, if any. With respect to certain Funds, the Board also reviewed fees and other information related to the Adviser's management of similarly managed institutional or private accounts, and the differences in the
35

(Unaudited)
services provided to these other accounts. The Board also noted that the breakpoints in the advisory fee schedule for some of the Funds evidenced one way in which the Adviser has shown a willingness to share in its economies of scale.
The Board found that the gross annual management fee paid by each Fund was within the range of management fees paid by each Fund's respective peer group. The Board noted that each Fund's advisory fee structure contained at least one breakpoint. The Board also found that each Fund's Class A net annual expense ratio, taking into account any shareholder servicing or distribution fees, was reasonable as compared with each Fund's respective peer group. The Board considered the Adviser's contractual agreement with each Fund to waive its fees and reimburse expenses of certain classes for a specified period of time, as described in the Fund's prospectus.
The Board reviewed each Fund's performance over one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods (as applicable) against the performance of the Fund's selected peer group and benchmark index. The Board recognized that the performance of the Funds and the peer group funds are net of expenses, while the performance of the benchmark index reflects gross returns. The Board considered the additional resources that the Adviser has committed to enhance portfolio analysis, compliance and trading systems.
The Board reviewed various other specific factors with respect to each Fund, as described below. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not rank the importance of any particular information or factor considered and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors.
Sycamore Established Value Fund:
The Board compared the Fund's Class A performance for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended June 30, 2019, to that of the median performance of the peer group and benchmark index for the same periods and considered the fact that the Fund outperformed both the benchmark index and the peer group median for all of the periods reviewed.
Having considered, among other things: (1) the Fund's management fee compared to comparable mutual funds; (2) the Fund's total expense ratio compared to comparable mutual funds; (3) that the Adviser's willingness to limit the expenses of certain classes for a period of time would provide stability to the Fund's expenses for those share classes during that period; and (4) the Fund's performance during the periods reviewed, the Board concluded that the Agreement continued to be in the best interests of the Fund's shareholders.
Sycamore Small Company Opportunity Fund:
The Board compared the Fund's Class A performance for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended June 30, 2019, to that of the median performance of the peer group and benchmark index for the same periods and considered the fact that the Fund outperformed both the benchmark index and the peer group median for all of the periods reviewed.
Having considered, among other things: (1) the Fund's management fee compared to comparable mutual funds; (2) the Fund's total expense ratio compared to comparable mutual funds; (3) that the Adviser's willingness to limit the expenses of certain classes for a period of time would provide stability to the Fund's expenses for those share classes during that period; and (4) the Fund's performance during the periods reviewed, the Board concluded that the Agreement continued to be in the best interests of the Fund's shareholders.
Conclusion
Based on its review of the information requested and provided, and following extended discussions, the Board determined that the Agreement, on behalf of the Funds discussed above, was consistent with the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders, and the Board unanimously approved the Agreement, on behalf of each Fund, for an additional annual period on the basis of the foregoing review and discussions and the following considerations, among others:
• The fairness and reasonableness of the investment advisory fee payable to the Adviser under the Agreement in light of the investment advisory services provided, the costs of these services, the profitability of the Adviser's relationship with the Fund and the comparability of the fee paid to the fees paid by other investment companies;

(Unaudited)
• The nature, quality and extent of the investment advisory services provided by the Adviser;
• The Adviser's entrepreneurial commitment to the management of the Funds and the creation of a broad-based family of funds, which could entail a substantial commitment of the Adviser's resources to the successful operation of the Funds;
• The Adviser's representations regarding its staffing and capabilities to manage the Funds, including the retention of personnel with relevant portfolio management experience;
• The Adviser's efforts to enhance investment results by, among other things, developing quality portfolio management teams; and
• The overall high quality of the personnel, operations, financial condition, investment management capabilities, methodologies and performance of the Adviser.
