Victory Capital Management Inc., the Fund’s investment adviser, (“Adviser”) has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and/or reimburse expenses so that the total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items such as interest, taxes and brokerage commissions) do not exceed 0.85%, 1.60%, 0.58% and 0.60% of the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Class R6 and Class Y shares, respectively, through at least October 31, 2021. The Adviser is permitted to recoup advisory 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 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. This agreement may only be terminated by the Fund’s Board of Trustees.
Example:
The following example is designed to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods shown and then sell or continue to hold all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The amounts shown reflect any fee waiver/expense reimbursement in

Portfolio Turnover:
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover will generally indicate higher transaction costs, resulting in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal period, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 74% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategy
The Adviser pursues the Fund’s investment objectives by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund’s assets in a broad range of bonds.
The Adviser uses bond market sector allocation, yield curve positioning, and comprehensive credit analysis to select securities for the Fund. Under normal market conditions, the average duration of the Fund’s portfolio is expected to be between 3 and 7 years. Bonds, also known as fixed income securities, in which the Fund may invest include without limitation: U.S. government securities, including securities issued by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. government; long- and short-term corporate debt obligations; mortgage-backed securities, including collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS); asset-backed securities, including collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) and collateralized loan obligations (CLOs); convertible bonds and notes; and U.S. dollar-denominated obligations of foreign governments, corporations and banks (i.e., Yankee Bonds).
The bonds in which the Fund will invest will generally be rated investment grade or better (Baa3 and above by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or BBB- and above by Standard & Poor’s), or if unrated, have been determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in below-investment grade debt securities, commonly known as “high yield” securities or “junk bonds.”
The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued, to-be-announced (TBA), delayed delivery or forward commitment basis and may engage in short-term trading of portfolio securities. There is no limitation on the maturity of any specific security the Fund may purchase, and the Fund may sell any security before it matures.
The Fund may enter into exchange-traded or over-the-counter derivatives transactions of any kind, such as futures contracts (both long and short positions) and options on futures and swap contracts, including, for example, interest rate swaps and credit default swaps. The Fund also may enter into exchange-traded or over-the-counter foreign currency exchange transactions, including currency futures, forward, and options transactions. The Fund may enter into any of these transactions for a variety of purposes, including, but not limited to, hedging various risks such as credit risk, interest rate risk, currency risk, and liquidity risk; taking a net long or short position in certain investments or markets; providing liquidity in the Fund; equitizing cash; minimizing transaction costs; generating

INCORE Total Return Bond Fund Summary
income; adjusting the Fund’s sensitivity to interest rate risk, currency risk, or other risk; replicating certain direct investments; and asset and sector allocation. Some of these strategies may be considered speculative and involve additional risks.
The Fund may invest in investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (ETFs), for cash management purposes or to seek exposure to a particular asset class.
Although the Fund will primarily be invested in domestic securities, up to 20% of the Fund’s assets may be invested in foreign securities, which may be denominated in foreign currencies.
The Adviser regularly reviews the Fund’s investments and may sell investments when it believes they are no longer attractive due to valuation, changes in the fundamental outlook of the company or other investments are considered more attractive.
Principal Risks
The Fund’s investments are subject to the following principal risks:
Debt Securities 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. Other factors that may affect the value of debt securities, include, among others, public health crises and responses by governments and companies to such crises. These and other events may affect the creditworthiness of the issuer of a debt security and may impair an issuer's ability to timely meet its debt obligations as they come due.
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.
Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk – During periods of falling interest rates, mortgage- and asset-backed securities may be called or prepaid, which may result in the Fund having to reinvest proceeds in other investments at a lower interest rate. During periods of rising interest rates, the average life of mortgage- and asset-backed securities may extend, which may lock in a below-market interest rate, increase the security's duration, and reduce the value of the security. Enforcing rights against the underlying assets or collateral may be difficult, or the underlying assets or collateral may be insufficient if the issuer defaults.
When-Issued, TBA and Delayed Delivery Risk – The market value of a security issued on a when-issued, to-be-announced or delayed-delivery basis may change before the delivery date, which may adversely impact the Fund’s net asset value. There is also the risk that a party fails to deliver the security on time or at all.
Derivatives Risk — Derivative instruments and strategies, including futures and selling securities short, may not perfectly replicate direct investment in the security. Derivatives also entail exposure to counterparty credit risk, the risk of mispricing or improper valuation, and the risk that small price movements can result in substantial gains or losses.
Credit Derivatives Risk – Credit default swaps can create investment leverage and may create additional investment risks that may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in more traditional securities.
Foreign Securities Risk — Foreign securities (including depositary receipts) are subject to political, regulatory, and economic risks not present in domestic investments. Foreign securities could be affected by factors not present in the U.S., including expropriation, confiscation of property, and difficulties in enforcing contracts. Compared to U.S. companies, there generally is less publicly

INCORE Total Return Bond Fund Summary
available information about foreign companies and there may be less governmental regulation and supervision of foreign companies. Foreign securities generally experience more volatility than their domestic counterparts. In addition, to the extent investments are made in a limited number of countries, events in those countries will have a more significant impact on the Fund. Fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies, currency exchange control regulations, and restrictions or prohibitions on the repatriation of foreign currencies may negatively affect an investment.
Liquidity Risk — Lack of a ready market or restrictions on resale may limit the ability of the Fund to dispose of certain holdings quickly or at prices that represent true market value in the judgment of the Adviser. In addition, the Fund, by itself or together with other accounts managed by the Adviser, may hold a position in a security that is large relative to the typical trading volume for that security, which can make it difficult for the Fund to dispose of the position at an advantageous time or price. Illiquid securities and relatively less liquid securities may also be difficult to value. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that the Fund may not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period because of unusual market conditions, unusually high volume of redemptions, or other reasons. To meet redemption requests or to raise cash to pursue other investment opportunities, the Fund may be forced to sell securities at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, which may adversely affect the Fund.
Investment Company Risk — An investment company or similar vehicle (including an ETF) in which the Fund invests may not achieve its investment objective. Underlying investment vehicles are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund. Lack of liquidity in an ETF could result in an ETF being more volatile than the underlying portfolio of securities.
Portfolio Turnover Risk — Higher portfolio turnover ratios resulting from additional purchases and sales of portfolio securities will generally result in higher transaction costs and Fund expenses and can lead to distribution of additional short-term capital gains to investors, which are taxed as ordinary income.
Management Risk — The portfolio managers may not execute the Fund's principal investment strategy effectively.
You may lose money by investing in the Fund. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its objective. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency.
By itself, the Fund does not constitute a complete investment plan and should be considered a long-term investment for investors who can afford to weather changes in the value of their investment.
Investment Performance
The bar chart and table that follow are intended to help you understand some of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows you how the Fund’s calendar year performance has varied over the past 10 years (or the life of the Fund if shorter). The table compares the Fund’s average annual total returns of the Fund's share classes, including applicable maximum sales charges, over the same period to one or more broad measures of market performance. We assume reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
Performance data for the classes varies based on differences in their fee and expense structures. The Fund's past performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available on the Fund’s website at VictoryFunds.com.Performance of Class A, C and Y shares reflects the performance prior to October 31, 2014 of, respectively, the Class A, C and Y shares of the Munder Bond Fund, a series of Munder Series Trust (the predecessor to the Fund that was managed by Munder Capital Management). The Fund’s performance has not been restated to reflect any differences in the expenses of the Munder Bond Fund.

Tax Information
The Fund’s distributions are taxable whether you receive them in cash, additional shares of the Fund or you reinvest them in shares of another Victory Fund, and will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account. Taxes may be imposed on withdrawals from tax-deferred arrangements.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services for investments in all classes except Class R6. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the financial intermediary and its financial advisor to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your financial advisor or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
