1. Organization:
Victory Portfolios (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 40 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.
The accompanying financial statements are those of the following seven 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 Diversified Stock Fund | | Diversified Stock Fund | | A, C, I, R, R6, and Y | |
Victory NewBridge Large Cap Growth Fund | | NewBridge Large Cap Growth Fund | | A, C, I, and Y | |
Victory Special Value Fund | | Special Value Fund | | A, C, I, R, and Y | |
Victory THB US Small Opportunities Fund | | THB US Small Opportunities Fund | | A and I | |
Victory Strategic Allocation Fund | | Strategic Allocation Fund | | A, C, I, and R | |
Victory INCORE Fund for Income | | INCORE Fund for Income | | A, C, I, R, R6, Y, and Member Class | |
Victory INCORE Investment Grade Convertible Fund | | INCORE Investment Grade Convertible Fund | | A, I, and Member Class | |
On February 2, 2021, the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Trust approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization ("Reorganization"), dated February 26, 2021, which provided for the newly formed Victory THB US Small Opportunities Fund ("Acquiring Fund") and its tax-free exchange of shares of the THB Asset Management Microcap Fund's ("Predecessor Fund") shares, valued at the Predecessor Fund's net assets for the exact same shares and value of the Acquiring Fund's shares. Investor Class and Institutional Class shares of the Predecessor Fund were exchanged for Class A and Class I shares, respectively, of the Acquiring Fund. The Acquiring Fund commenced operations on May 3, 2021, upon the completion of the Reorganization, which occurred as of the close of business on April 30, 2021.
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.
Strategic Allocation Fund is a "fund of funds" in that it invests in a selection of affiliated mutual funds and exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") managed by Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or the Adviser), an affiliate of the Fund.
Strategic Allocation Fund may rely on various exemptions contained in 1940 Act and in exemptive rules or orders thereunder issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") that permit funds, subject to certain conditions, to invest in one or more ETFs and certain other types of investment companies in amounts that exceed limits set forth in the 1940 Act that would otherwise be applicable.
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 U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("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
64
Victory Portfolios | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued April 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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)
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.
The Adviser has established the Pricing and Liquidity Committee (the "Committee"), and subject to the Board's 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, 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 their net asset value ("NAV"). These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in the underlying affiliated Funds of the Strategic Allocation Fund, and other open-end investment companies, other than ETFs, are valued at their NAV at the end of each business day and are typically categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
The underlying affiliated Funds of the Strategic Allocation Fund, have specific valuation procedures. In the event that price quotations or valuations are not readily available, are not reflective of market value, or a significant event has been recognized in relation to a security or class of securities, the securities are valued in good faith by the Committee in accordance with valuation procedures approved by the Board. 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.
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
65
Victory Portfolios | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued April 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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 April 30, 2022, 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.
66
Victory Portfolios | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued April 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
Investment Companies:
Exchange-Traded Funds:
The Funds may invest in ETFs, 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 often designed to track the performance and dividend yield of a particular domestic or foreign market index. The Funds 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 or 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.
Securities Lending:
The Funds, through a Securities Lending Agreement with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), may lend their securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers and banks, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. Borrowers are required to initially secure their loans 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 generally cured 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 and other securities as permitted by SEC guidelines. 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 Funds effectively do not have control of the non-cash collateral and therefore it is not disclosed on the Funds' Schedules of Portfolio Investments. Collateral requirements are determined daily based on the value of the Funds' securities on loan as of the end of the prior business day. 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. Loans are terminable upon demand and the borrower must return the loaned securities within the lesser of one standard settlement period or five business days. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, a Fund could experience a delay in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them. In addition, there is a risk that the value of the short-term investments will be less than the amount of cash collateral required to be returned to the borrower.
67
Victory Portfolios | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued April 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
The Funds' agreement with Citibank does not include master netting provisions. Non-cash collateral received by the Funds may not be sold or repledged, except to satisfy borrower default.
The following table (amounts in thousands) is a summary of the Funds' securities lending transactions as of April 30, 2022.
| | Value of Securities on Loan | | Non-Cash Collateral | | Cash Collateral | |
Diversified Stock Fund | | $ | 5,073 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 5,362 | | |
THB US Small Opportunities Fund | | | 1,372 | | | | — | | | | 1,440 | | |
INCORE Investment Grade Convertible Fund | | | 84,020 | | | | — | | | | 87,000 | | |
Federal Income Taxes:
Each Fund intends 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.
For the six months ended April 30, 2022, the Funds did not incur any income tax, interest, or penalties, and have recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain tax positions.
Management of the Funds has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax years, which includes the current fiscal tax year end). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
Allocations:
Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund, 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 an 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.
Redemption Fees:
The Funds currently do not receive a redemption fee. Prior to acquisition, the Predecessor Fund retained redemption fees of 2.00% on redemptions of fund shares held for less than 30 days. Class I (formerly Institutional Class shares) and Class A (formerly Investor Class shares) had approximately $2 thousand and $1 thousand in redemptions fees, respectively, as presented on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

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. Acquired fund fees and expenses, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with GAAP, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of a Fund's business are excluded from the expense limits. As of April 30, 2022, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) are as follows:

(a) In effect until May 3, 2023.
Under the terms of the expense limitation agreements, as amended May 1, 2021, the Funds (except Strategic Allocation Fund) 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 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 April 30, 2022, the following amounts are available to be repaid to the Adviser (amounts in thousands). The Funds have not recorded any amounts available to be repaid as a liability due to an assessment that such repayments are not probable at April 30, 2022.

5. Risks:
The Funds may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
Convertible Securities Risk — Convertible securities rank senior to the issuer's common stock, but may be subordinate to senior debt obligations. In part, the total return for a convertible security may depend upon the performance of the underlying stock into which it can be converted. Synthetic convertibles may respond differently to market fluctuations than traditional convertible securities. They are also subject to counterparty risk.
Equity Risk — The value of the equity securities in which a Fund invests may decline in response to developments affecting individual companies and/or general economic conditions in the United States or abroad. A company's earnings or dividends may not increase as expected (or may decline) because of poor management, competitive pressures, reliance on particular suppliers or geographical regions, labor problems or shortages, corporate restructurings, fraudulent disclosures, man-made or natural disasters, military confrontations or wars, terrorism, public health crises, or other events, conditions and factors. Price changes may be temporary or last for extended periods.
Market Risk — Overall market risks may affect the value of the Fund. Domestic and international factors such as political events, war, terrorism, trade disputes, inflation rates, interest rate levels and other fiscal and monetary policy changes, cybersecurity incidents, pandemics and other public health crises, sanctions against a particular foreign country, its nationals, businesses or industries and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods, or other catastrophes, may add to instability in global economies and markets generally, and may lead to increased market volatility. Global economies and financial markets are highly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region might adversely affect issuers in another country or region. The impact of these and other factors may be short-term or may last for extended periods.
Micro-Capitalization Stock Risk — Micro-capitalization companies tend to be less seasoned and may lose market share or profits to a greater extent than larger, more established companies. Since micro-capitalization company stocks typically have narrower markets and are traded in lower volumes than larger company stocks, they may be more difficult to purchase and sell. Micro-capitalization companies may have limited markets, product lines, or financial resources and lack management experience and may experience higher failure rates than larger companies.
Debt Securities and Interest Rate Risk — The INCORE Fund for Income and the INCORE Investment Grade Convertible Bond Fund are subject to debt securities and interest rate risk. The value of a debt security or other income-producing security changes in response to various factors including, for example, market-related factors (such as changes in interest rates or changes in the risk appetite of investors generally) and changes in the actual or perceived ability of the issuer (or of issuers generally) to meet its (or their) obligations. Interest rates may rise or the rate of inflation may increase, impacting the value of investments in fixed income securities. A debt issuer's credit quality may be downgraded or an issuer may default. Interest rates may fluctuate due to changes in governmental fiscal policy initiatives and resulting market reaction to those initiatives.
High-Yield/Junk Bond Risk — Lower-quality debt securities can involve a substantially greater risk of default than higher quality debt securities, and their values can decline significantly over short and longer periods of time. Lower-quality debt securities tend to be more sensitive to adverse news about the issuer, or the market or economy in general.
LIBOR Discontinuation Risk — The London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") discontinuation may adversely affect the financial markets generally and the Funds' operations, finances and investments specifically. LIBOR has been the principal floating-rate benchmark in the financial markets, and a large portion of the Funds' assets are tied to LIBOR. However, LIBOR has been or will be discontinued as a floating rate benchmark. The date of discontinuation depends on the LIBOR currency and tenor. With limited exceptions, no new LIBOR obligations will be entered into after December 31, 2021. Existing LIBOR obligations have transitioned or will transition to another benchmark, depending on the LIBOR currency and tenor. For some existing LIBOR-based obligations, the contractual consequences of the discontinuation of LIBOR may not be clear.
Non-LIBOR floating-rate obligations, including Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR")-based obligations, may have returns and values that fluctuate more than those of floating-rate debt obligations
72
Victory Portfolios | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued April 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
that are based on LIBOR or other rates. Also, because SOFR and some alternative floating rates are relatively new market indexes, markets for certain non-LIBOR obligations may never develop or may not be liquid. Market terms for non-LIBOR floating rate obligations, such as the spread over the index reflected in interest-rate provisions, may evolve over time, and prices of non-LIBOR floating rate obligations may be different depending on when they are issued and changing views about correct spread levels.
Various SOFR-based rates, including SOFR-based term rates, and various non-SOFR-based rates are expected to develop in response to the discontinuation of U.S. dollar LIBOR, which may create various risks for the Funds and the financial markets more generally. There are non-LIBOR forward-looking floating rates that are not based on SOFR and that may be considered by participants in the financial markets as LIBOR alternatives. Such rates include AMERIBOR (American Interbank Offered Rate), BSBY (Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index) and BYI (Bank Yield Index). Unlike forward-looking SOFR-based term rates, such rates are intended to reflect a bank credit spread component.
It is not clear how replacement rates for LIBOR — including SOFR-based rates and non-SOFR-based rates — will develop and to what extent they will be used. There is no assurance that these replacement rates will be suitable substitutes for LIBOR, and thus the substitution of such rates for LIBOR could have an adverse effect on the Funds and the financial markets more generally. Concerns about market depth and stability could affect the development of non-SOFR-based term rates, and such rates may create various risks, which may or may not be similar to the risks relating to SOFR.
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 28, 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 six months ended April 30, 2022, 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, with LIBOR to be replaced by a different benchmark rate in accordance with the terms of the agreement) on amounts borrowed. Effective with the June 27, 2022, agreement renewal, the interest rate formal on amounts borrowed based on the published 1-month LIBOR rate plus one percent was changed to an interest rate based on the published 1-month SOFR plus 1.10 percent. Prior to June 28, 2021, the Victory Funds Complex paid an annual commitment fee of 0.15% and an upfront fee of 0.10%. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex paid a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Interest charged to each fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected 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 period ended April 30, 2022, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | Amount Outstanding at April 30, 2022 | | Average Borrowing* | | Days Borrowings Outstanding | | Average Interest Rate | | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | |
THB US Small Opportunities Fund | | $ | — | | | $ | 4,463 | | | | 8 | | | | 1.21 | % | | $ | 5,600 | | |
* For the period ended April 30, 2022, based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding.
73
Victory Portfolios | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued April 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
Interfund Lending:
The Trust and the 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, if any, during the period, is reflected on the Statements of Operations under Interfund lending fees. As a Lender, interest earned by each Fund, if any, during the period, is reflected on the Statements of Operations under Interfund lending.
The average borrowing or lending for the days outstanding and average interest rate for each Fund during the six months ended April 30, 2022, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | Borrower or Lender | | Amount Outstanding at April 30, 2022 | | Average Borrowing* | | Days Borrowing Outstanding | | Average Interest Rate* | | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | |
INCORE Fund for Income | | Borrower | | $ | — | | | $ | 4,065 | | | | 4 | | | | 0.83 | % | | $ | 10,000 | | |
INCORE Investment Grade Convertible Fund | | Borrower | | | — | | | | 1,670 | | | | 4 | | | | 0.58 | % | | | 1,670 | | |
* For the six months ended April 30, 2022, based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding.
7. Federal Income Tax Information:
Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually from each Fund. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid as noted in the table below.
| | Declared | | Paid | |
Diversified Stock Fund | | Quarterly | | Quarterly | |
NewBridge Large Cap Growth Fund | | Annually | | Annually | |
Special Value Fund | | Annually | | Annually | |
THB US Small Opportunities Fund | | Quarterly | | Quarterly | |
Strategic Allocation Fund | | Quarterly | | Quarterly | |
INCORE Fund for Income | | Monthly | | Monthly | |
INCORE Investment Grade Convertible Fund | | Quarterly | | Quarterly | |
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 Funds may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (loss) will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending October 31, 2022.

8. Affiliated Securities:
An affiliated security is a security in which a Fund has ownership of at least 5% of the security's outstanding voting shares, or an investment company managed by VCM. The Funds do not invest in affiliated underlying funds for the purpose of exercising management or control. These underlying funds are noted as affiliated on the Funds' Schedules of Portfolio Investments. The affiliated underlying funds' annual or semiannual reports may be viewed at www.vcm.com. Transactions in affiliated securities during the six months ended April 30, 2022, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

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 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 are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Expense Examples
As a shareholder of a Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases; 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 a Fund 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, 2021, through April 30, 2022.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical expenses in the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Considerations of the Board in Continuing the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement")
The Board approved the Agreement on behalf of each of the Funds at a meeting, which was called for that purpose, on November 30, 2021. The Board also considered information relating to the Funds and the Agreement provided throughout the year and, more specifically, at the meetings on October 19, 2021, and November 30, 2021. In considering whether to approve the Agreement, the Board requested, and the Adviser provided, information that the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to reach its conclusions.
The Board, including the Independent Trustees, evaluated this information along with other information obtained throughout the year and was advised by legal counsel to the Funds and independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. In addition, the Independent Trustees considered a past review of their overall process for conducting the annual review of the Funds' advisory arrangements by a consultant retained through their counsel.
The Board took into consideration regular reports from the Adviser throughout the COVID-19 pandemic public health crisis concerning how the ongoing pandemic has affected market volatility, investment risk, liquidity and valuation of portfolio securities, and the implementation and effectiveness of business continuity plans. These reports also had confirmed that the pandemic had no material impact on the Adviser's operations.
The Board considered each Fund's advisory fee, expense ratio and investment performance as significant factors in determining whether the Agreement should be continued. In considering whether the compensation paid to the Adviser was fair and reasonable, the Board also evaluated, among other things, the following factors:
• The requirements of the Funds for the services provided by the Adviser;
• The nature, quality and extent of the services provided and expected to be provided;
• The performance of the Funds as compared to comparable funds;
• The fees payable for the services and whether the fee arrangements provided for economies of scale that would benefit Fund shareholders as the Funds grow (acknowledging that economies of scale can be complex to assess and typically are not directly measurable);
• Whether the fee would be sufficient to enable the Adviser to attract and retain experienced personnel and continue to provide quality services to the Funds;
• The fees paid by other clients of the Adviser whose accounts are managed in a similar investment style and any differences in the services provided to the other clients compared to those provided to the Funds;
• The total expenses of each Fund;
• Management's commitment to operating the Funds at competitive expense levels;
• The profitability of the Adviser (as reflected by comparing fees earned against an estimate of the Adviser's costs) with respect to the Adviser's relationship with the Funds;
• Research and other service benefits received by the Adviser obtained through payment of client commissions for securities transactions;
• Other 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.
For Funds with total net expense ratios that ranked within the fourth quartile (most expensive) in relation to their peers as evaluated by a consultant, the Board also considered a memorandum that it requested the Adviser to prepare. The Adviser reviewed additional relevant circumstances, which included, among other things, specialized strategies, small or decreasing assets, or rapid or recent changes in peer expense ratios.
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.
79
Victory Portfolios | | Supplemental Information — continued April 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
The Board retained a consultant to provide comparative information about fees and performance. The Board met with the consultant to review its inputs and methodologies, among other things. The Board compared each Fund's gross management fees and total operating expense ratio on a net and gross basis with the median gross management fee and median expense ratio of a universe of comparable mutual funds compiled by the consultant and a peer group of funds with similar investment strategies selected by that consultant from the universe. The Board reviewed the factors and methodology used by the consultant in the selection of each Fund's peer group, including the 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 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 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 also reviewed the compliance and administrative services provided to the Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates, including the Adviser's oversight of the Funds' day-to-day operations and oversight of Fund accounting, assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, and other services necessary for the operation of the Funds and the Trust.
The Board found that the gross annual management fee paid by each Fund was within the range of management fees paid by each Fund's respective peer group. The Board 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, 2023, and that any advisory fees charged under the Agreement are based on services provided that will be in addition to, rather than duplicative of, the services provided under the advisory contract of any fund in which the Strategic Allocation Fund invests. 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 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, 2021, to that of the median performance of the Fund's peer group and benchmark index for the same periods and considered the fact that the Fund outperformed both the benchmark index and the peer group median for the one-year period, and underperformed both the benchmark index and the peer group median for the three-, five- and ten-year periods. 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.

Special Value Fund
The Board compared the Fund's Class A performance for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended June 30, 2021, to that of the median performance of the Fund's peer group and benchmark index for the same periods and considered the fact that the Fund underperformed the benchmark index for all of the periods reviewed, matched the peer group median for the one-year period, and underperformed the peer group median for the three-, five- and ten-year periods. The Board noted that the Fund's portfolio management team changed in May 2017.

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 one way the Adviser is addressing the Fund's underperformance is through its change of the Fund's portfolio management team; (4) 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 (5) 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.
Strategic Allocation Fund

Based on its review of the information requested and provided, and following extended discussions, the Board determined that the Agreement, on behalf of the 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 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

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 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 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 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, 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 Funds' portfolio managers (including the portfolio managers employed by any investment sub-advisers) in determining final liquidity classifications.
At a meeting held on February 24, 2022, 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 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 that each 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.

Victory Portfolios | | Notes to Financial Statements April 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
1. Organization:
Victory Portfolios (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 40 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.
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 Sycamore Established Value Fund | | Sycamore Established Value Fund | | A, C, I, R, R6, and Y | |
Victory Sycamore Small Company Opportunity Fund | | Sycamore Small Company Opportunity Fund | | 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 the following: 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. ("VCM" or the "Adviser") 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 U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("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.)
28
Victory Portfolios | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued April 30, 2022 | |
(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.
The Adviser has established the Pricing and Liquidity Committee (the "Committee"), and subject to the 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 American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), 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 their net asset value ("NAV"). 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 April 30, 2022, 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):
| | Level 1 | | Level 2 | | Level 3 | | Total | |
Sycamore Established Value Fund | |
Common Stocks | | $ | 15,947,111 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 15,947,111 | | |

Total | | $ | 6,239,728 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 6,239,728 | | |
For the six months ended April 30, 2022, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 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.

(Unaudited)
Investment Companies:
Exchange-Traded Funds:
The Funds may invest in ETFs, 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 often designed to track the performance and dividend yield of a particular domestic or foreign market index. The Funds 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 or 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 Funds, through a Securities Lending Agreement with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), may lend their securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers and banks, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. Borrowers are required to initially secure their loans 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 generally cured 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 and other securities as permitted by Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidelines. 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 Funds effectively do not have control of the non-cash collateral and therefore it is not disclosed on the Funds' Schedules of Portfolio Investments. Collateral requirements are determined daily based on the value of the Funds' securities on loan as of the end of the prior business day. 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. Loans are terminable upon demand and the borrower must return the loaned securities within the lesser of one standard settlement period or five business days. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, a Fund could experience a delay in recovering its securities and possible loss of income

(Unaudited)
or value if the borrower fails to return them. In addition, there is a risk that the value of the short-term investments will be less than the amount of cash collateral required to be returned to the borrower.
The Funds' agreement with Citibank does not include master netting provisions. Non-cash collateral received by the Funds may not be sold or repledged, except to satisfy borrower default.
The following table (amounts in thousands) is a summary of the Funds' securities lending transactions as of April 30, 2022.
| | Value of Securities on Loan | | Non-Cash Collateral | | Cash Collateral | |
Sycamore Established Value Fund | | $ | 25,189 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 26,832 | | |
Sycamore Small Company Opportunity Fund | | | 112,733 | | | | — | | | | 120,553 | | |
Federal Income Taxes:
Each Fund intends 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.
For the six months ended April 30, 2022, the Funds did not incur any income tax, interest, or penalties, and have recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain tax positions.
Management of the Funds has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax years, which includes the current fiscal tax year end). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
Allocations:
Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund, 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 an affiliated trust based upon net assets or another appropriate basis.
Income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses such as transfer agent fees, state registration fees, printing fees, and 12b-1 fees), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets on the date income is earned or expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred.
3. Purchases and Sales:
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) for the six months ended April 30, 2022, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | Excluding U.S. Government Securities | |

Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the six months ended April 30, 2022, are reflected on the Statements of Operations as Investment advisory fees.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM also serves as the Funds' administrator and fund accountant. Under the Administration and Fund Accounting Agreement, VCM is entitled to receive fees based on a percentage of the average daily net assets of the Trust, Victory Variable Insurance Funds and Victory Portfolios II. The tiered rates at which VCM is paid by the Funds are shown in the table below:
Net Assets | |
Up to $15 billion | | $15 billion – $30 billion | | Over $30 billion | |
| 0.08 | %, plus | | | 0.05 | %, plus | | | 0.04 | % | |
Amounts incurred for the six months ended April 30, 2022, are reflected on the Statements of Operations as Administration fees.
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. ("Citi"), an affiliate of Citibank, acts as sub-administrator and sub-fund accountant to the Funds pursuant to the Sub-Administration and Sub-Fund Accounting Services Agreement between VCM and Citi. VCM pays Citi a fee for providing these services.

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 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. Acquired fund fees and expenses, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with GAAP, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of a Fund's business are excluded from the expense limits. As of April 30, 2022, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) are as follows:
| | In effect until February 28, 2023 | |
| | Class C | | Class Y | |
Sycamore Established Value Fund | | | 1.84 | % | | | N/A | | |
Sycamore Small Company Opportunity Fund | | | N/A | | | | 1.15 | % | |
Under the terms of the expense limitation agreements, as 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 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 April 30, 2022, the Funds had no amounts 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 repayments are not probable at April 30, 2022.
The Adviser may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Funds in maintaining competitive expense ratios. Voluntary waivers and reimbursements applicable to the Funds are not
33
Victory Portfolios | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued April 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
available to be recouped at a future time. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the six months ended April 30, 2022.
Certain officers and/or interested trustees of the Funds are also officers and/or employees of the Adviser, administrator, fund accountant, sub-administrator, sub-fund accountant, custodian, legal counsel, and Distributor.
5. Risks:
The Funds may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
Equity Risk — The value of the equity securities in which the Fund invests may decline in response to developments affecting individual companies and/or general economic conditions in the United States or abroad. A company's earnings or dividends may not increase as expected (or may decline) because of poor management, competitive pressures, reliance on particular suppliers or geographical regions, labor problems or shortages, corporate restructurings, fraudulent disclosures, man-made or natural disasters, military confrontations or wars, terrorism, public health crises, or other events, conditions and factors. Price changes may be temporary or last for extended periods.
Market Risk — Overall market risks may affect the value of the Fund. Domestic and international factors such as political events, war, terrorism, trade disputes, inflation rates, interest rate levels and other fiscal and monetary policy changes, cybersecurity incidents, pandemics and other public health crises, sanctions against a particular foreign country, its nationals, businesses or industries and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods, or other catastrophes, may add to instability in global economies and markets generally, and may lead to increased market volatility. Global economies and financial markets are highly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region might adversely affect issuers in another country or region. The impact of these and other factors may be short-term or may last for extended periods.
Small-Capitalization Stock Risk — Small-capitalization companies are subject to a number of risks not associated with larger, more established companies, potentially making their stock prices more volatile and increasing the risk of loss. Smaller companies may have limited markets, product lines, or financial resources and lack management experience and may experience higher failure rates than larger companies.
Mid-Capitalization Stock Risk — Mid-sized companies may be subject to a number of risks not associated with larger, more established companies, potentially making their stock prices more volatile and increasing the risk of loss.
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 28, 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 six months ended April 30, 2022, 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 London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus one percent, with LIBOR to be replaced by a different benchmark rate in accordance with the terms of the agreement) on amounts borrowed. Effective with the June 27, 2022 agreement renewal, the interest rate formal on amounts borrowed based on the published 1-month LIBOR rate plus one percent was changed to an interest rate based on the published 1-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR")
34
Victory Portfolios | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued April 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
plus 1.10 percent. Prior to June 28, 2021, the Victory Funds Complex paid an annual commitment fee of 0.15% and an upfront fee of 0.10%. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex paid a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Interest charged to each fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statements of Operations under Line of credit fees.
The Funds had no borrowings under the Line of Credit agreement during the six months ended April 30, 2022.
Interfund Lending:
The Trust and the 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, if any, during the period, is reflected on the Statements of Operations under Interfund lending fees. As a Lender, interest earned by each Fund, if any, during the period, is reflected on the Statements of Operations under Interfund lending.
The average borrowing or lending for the days outstanding and average interest rate for the Funds that utilized this Facility during the period ended April 30, 2022, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | Borrower or Lender | | Amount Outstanding at April 30, 2022 | | Average Lending* | | Days Lending Outstanding | | Average Interest Rate | | Maximum Lending During the Period | |
Sycamore Established Value Fund | | Lender | | $ | 34,798 | | | $ | 12,162 | | | | 54 | | | | 0.71 | % | | $ | 55,786 | | |
* For the six months ended April 30, 2022, based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding.
7. Federal Income Tax Information:
Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually from each Fund. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid as noted in the table below.
| | Declared | | Paid | |
Sycamore Established Value Fund | | Quarterly | | Quarterly | |
Sycamore Small Company Opportunity Fund | | Annually | | Annually | |
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively, distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Funds may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (deficit) will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending October 31, 2022.
As of the tax year ended October 31, 2021, the Funds had no capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.

8. Affiliated Securities:
An affiliated security is a security in which a 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 as of the six months ended April 30, 2022. The Funds do not invest in affiliated securities for the purpose of exercising management or control. These securities are noted as affiliated on a Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments.

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information
Proxy Voting:
Information regarding the policies and procedures each Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling 800-539-3863. The information is also included in the Funds' Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Information relating to how the Funds voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent 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 are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Expense Examples
As a shareholder of a Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases; 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 a Fund 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, 2021, through April 30, 2022.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical expenses in the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Considerations of the Board in Continuing the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement")
The Board approved the Agreement on behalf of each of the Funds at a meeting, which was called for that purpose, on November 30, 2021. The Board also considered information relating to the Funds and the Agreement provided throughout the year and, more specifically, at the meetings on October 19, 2021, and November 30, 2021. In considering whether to approve the Agreement, the Board requested, and the Adviser provided, information that the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to reach its conclusions.
The Board, including the Independent Trustees, evaluated this information along with other information obtained throughout the year and was advised by legal counsel to the Funds and independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. In addition, the Independent Trustees considered a past review of their overall process for conducting the annual review of the Funds' advisory arrangements by a consultant retained through their counsel.
The Board took into consideration regular reports from the Adviser throughout the COVID-19 pandemic public health crisis concerning how the ongoing pandemic has affected market volatility, investment risk, liquidity and valuation of portfolio securities, and the implementation and effectiveness of business continuity plans. These reports also had confirmed that the pandemic had no material impact on the Adviser's operations.
The Board considered each Fund's advisory fee, expense ratio and investment performance as significant factors in determining whether the Agreement should be continued. In considering whether the compensation paid to the Adviser was fair and reasonable, the Board also evaluated, among other things, the following factors:
• The requirements of the Funds for the services provided by the Adviser;
• The nature, quality and extent of the services provided and expected to be provided;
• The performance of the Funds as compared to comparable funds;
• The fees payable for the services and whether the fee arrangements provided for economies of scale that would benefit Fund shareholders as the Funds grow (acknowledging that economies of scale can be complex to assess and typically are not directly measurable);
• Whether the fee would be sufficient to enable the Adviser to attract and retain experienced personnel and continue to provide quality services to the Funds;
• The fees paid by other clients of the Adviser whose accounts are managed in a similar investment style and any differences in the services provided to the other clients compared to those provided to the Funds;
• The total expenses of each Fund;
• Management's commitment to operating the Funds at competitive expense levels;
• The profitability of the Adviser (as reflected by comparing fees earned against an estimate of the Adviser's costs) with respect to the Adviser's relationship with the Funds;
• Research and other service benefits received by the Adviser obtained through payment of client commissions for securities transactions;
• Other 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.
For Funds with total net expense ratios that ranked within the fourth quartile (most expensive) in relation to their peers as evaluated by a consultant, the Board also considered a memorandum that it requested the Adviser to prepare. The Adviser reviewed additional relevant circumstances, which included, among other things, specialized strategies, small or decreasing assets, or rapid or recent changes in peer expense ratios.
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.
39
Victory Portfolios | | Supplemental Information — continued April 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
The Board retained a consultant to provide comparative information about fees and performance. The Board met with the consultant to review its inputs and methodologies, among other things. The Board compared each Fund's gross management fees and total operating expense ratio on a net and gross basis with the median gross management fee and median expense ratio of a universe of comparable mutual funds compiled by the consultant and a peer group of funds with similar investment strategies selected by that consultant from the universe. The Board reviewed the factors and methodology used by the consultant in the selection of each Fund's peer group, including the 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 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 services provided to these other accounts. The Board also noted that the breakpoints in the advisory fee schedule for the Funds evidenced one way in which the Adviser has shown a willingness to share in its economies of scale.
The Board also reviewed the compliance and administrative services provided to the Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates, including the Adviser's oversight of the Funds' day-to-day operations and oversight of Fund accounting, assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, and other services necessary for the operation of the Funds and the Trust.
The Board found that the gross annual management fee paid by each Fund was within the range of management fees paid by each Fund's respective peer group. The Board 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 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 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, 2021, to that of the median performance of the Fund's peer group and benchmark index for the same periods and considered the fact that the Fund outperformed both the benchmark index and the peer group median for all of the periods reviewed.
Having considered, among other things: (1) the Fund's management fee compared to comparable mutual funds; (2) the Fund's total expense ratio compared to comparable mutual funds; (3) that the Adviser's willingness to limit the expenses of certain classes for a period of time would provide stability to the Fund's expenses for those share classes during that period; and (4) the Fund's performance during the periods reviewed, the Board concluded that the Agreement continued to be in the best interests of the Fund's shareholders.
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, 2021, to that of the median performance of the Fund's peer group and benchmark index for the same periods and considered the fact that the Fund underperformed both the benchmark index and the peer group median for the one-year period, and outperformed both the benchmark index and the peer group median for the three-, five- and ten-year periods.

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 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

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 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 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 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, 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 Funds' portfolio managers (including the portfolio managers employed by any investment sub-advisers) in determining final liquidity classifications.
At a meeting held on February 24, 2022, 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 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 that each 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.
