Share Price

The Fund calculates its share price, called its NAV, each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (“NYSE”), which is normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, but may be earlier or later on some days. You may buy, exchange, and sell your shares on any business day at a price that is based on the NAV that is calculated after you place your order. A business day is a day on which the NYSE is open.

The Fund prices its investments based on market value when market quotations are readily available. When these quotations are not readily available, the Fund will price its investments at fair value according to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Fund will fair value a security when:

· Trading in the security has been halted;

· The market quotation for the security is clearly erroneous due to a clerical error;

· The security’s liquidity decreases such that, in the Adviser’s opinion, the market quotation has become stale; or

· An event occurs after the close of the trading market (but before the Fund’s NAV is calculated) that, in the Adviser’s opinion, materially affects the value of the security.

The use of fair value pricing may minimize arbitrage opportunities that attempt to exploit the differences between a security’s market quotation and its fair value. The use of fair value pricing may not, however, always reflect a security’s actual market value in light of subsequent relevant information, and the security’s opening price on the next trading day may be different from the fair value price assigned to the security.

Each class of shares of the Fund calculates its NAV by adding up the total value of the investments and other assets of that class, subtracting its liabilities, and then dividing that figure by the number of outstanding shares of the class.

You may be able to find the Fund’s NAV each day in The Wall Street Journal and other newspapers. Newspapers do not normally publish fund information until a fund reaches a specific number of

14

shareholders or level of assets. You may also find the Fund’s NAV by calling 800-438-5789 or by visiting the Fund’s website at VictoryFunds.com.

The daily NAV is useful to you as a shareholder because the NAV, multiplied by the number of Fund shares you own, gives you the value of your investment.

16

Share Classes

The Fund offers Class A, Class C, Class R and Class Y shares. Each share class represents investments in the same portfolio of securities, but each class has its own sales charge and expense structure, allowing you and your Investment Professional to choose the class that best suits your investment needs. When you purchase shares of the Fund, you must choose a share class.

Deciding which share class best suits your situation depends on a number of factors that you should discuss with your Investment Professional, including: how long you expect to hold your investment, how much you intend to invest, and the total expenses associated with each share class.

Also, not all Victory Funds offer all classes of shares, and some classes of shares are available for purchase only by eligible shareholders.

The Fund currently offers only the classes of shares described in this Prospectus. At some future date, the Fund may offer additional classes of shares.

The Fund reserves the right, without notice, to change the eligibility requirements of its share classes, including the types of clients who are eligible to purchase each share class. The Fund may also waive any applicable eligibility requirements or investment minimums at its discretion.

The Fund or any class may be terminated at any time for failure to achieve an economical level of assets or for other reasons.

An Investment Professional is an investment consultant, salesperson, financial planner, investment adviser, or trust officer who provides you with investment information. Your Investment Professional also can help you decide which share class is best for you. Investment Professionals and other intermediaries may charge fees for their services.

17

For historical expense information, see the “Financial Highlights” at the end of this Prospectus.

Calculation of Sales Charges for Class A Shares

Class A shares are sold at their public offering price, which is the net asset value (“NAV”) plus the applicable initial sales charge. The sales charge percentage decreases as the amount that you invest increases. The current sales charge rates are listed below:

*A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 0.75% may be imposed on certain redemptions of Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge if any of those shares are redeemed in the first year after purchase. This charge will be based on either the cost of the shares or NAV at the time of redemption, whichever is lower. No CDSC is imposed on shares representing reinvested distributions. You may be eligible for a reduction or waiver of this CDSC under certain circumstances. See the SAI for details. The Fund makes available, free of charge, information relating to sales charges on its website at VictoryFunds.com.

Sales Charge Reductions and Waivers for Class A Shares

In order to obtain a Class A sales charge reduction or waiver, you must provide your Investment Professional, financial intermediary or the Fund’s transfer agent, at the time of purchase, current information regarding shares of any Victory Funds held in other accounts. Such information must include account statements or other records (including written representations from the intermediary holding the shares) that indicate that a sales charge was paid regarding shares of the Victory Funds held in: (i) all accounts (e.g., retirement accounts) with the Victory Funds and your financial

18

intermediary; (ii) accounts with other financial intermediaries; and (iii) accounts in the name of immediate family household members (spouse or domestic partner and children under 21).

You may reduce or eliminate the sales charge in the following cases:

1. Purchases sufficient to reach a breakpoint (see Investing with Victory — Important information about sales load breakpoints ).

2. A Letter of Intent allows you to buy Class A shares of the Fund over a 13-month period and receive the same sales charge as if all shares had been purchased at one time. You must start with a minimum initial investment of at least 5.00% of the total amount you intend to purchase. A portion of the shares purchased under the nonbinding Letter of Intent will be held in escrow until the total investment has been completed. In the event the Letter of Intent is not completed, sufficient escrowed shares will be redeemed to pay any applicable front-end sales charges.

3. Rights of Accumulation allow you to add the value of any Class A shares of the Fund that you already own (excluding shares sold without a sales charge) to the amount of your next Class A investment to determine if your additional investment will qualify for a reduced sales charge. The value of the Class A shares you already own will be calculated by using the greater of the current value or the original investment amount.

4. The Combination Privilege allows you to combine the value of Class A shares you own in accounts of multiple Victory Funds (excluding shares sold without a sales charge) and in accounts of household members of your immediate family (spouse or domestic partner and children under 21) to achieve a reduced sales charge on your added investment.

There are several ways you can combine multiple purchases in the Victory Funds and take advantage of reduced sales charges and, in some cases, eliminate the sales charges.

19

5. The Reinstatement Privilege permits an investor, within 90 days of a redemption of Class A shares of the Fund, to reinvest all or part of the redemption proceeds in the Class A shares of any Victory Fund at the NAV next computed after receipt by the transfer agent of the reinvestment order. No service charge is currently imposed on reinvestment in shares of the Victory Funds.

6. The Victory Funds will completely waive the sales charge for Class A shares in the following cases:

a. Purchases of $1,000,000 or more.

b. Purchases by:

i. current and retired Victory Fund trustees or officers;

ii. directors, trustees, employees, and family members of employees of the Adviser or “Affiliated Providers;”* and

iii. registered broker-dealers, financial intermediaries or their agents or affiliates who have agreements with Victory Capital Advisers, Inc., (the “Distributor”), if the shares are purchased for their own account, purchased for retirement plans of their employees or sold to registered representatives or full-time employees (or their immediate families), provided that such purchase is for one of the foregoing types of accounts;

c. Purchases for trust or other advisory accounts established with a financial institution and fee-based investment products or accounts.

d. Reinvestment of proceeds from a liquidation distribution of Class A shares of a Victory Fund held in a deferred compensation plan, agency, trust, or custody account.

e. Purchases by retirement plans, including Section 401 and 457 Plans sponsored by a Section 501(c)(3) organization and certain non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements that operate in a similar manner to qualified plans, and IRA rollovers from such plans, if a Victory Fund Class A share was offered. If the distributor pays a concession to the dealer of record, a CDSC of 0.75% will be charged to the shareholder if any of those shares are redeemed in the first year after purchase. This charge will be based on either the cost of the shares or NAV at the time of redemption, whichever is lower. There will be no CDSC on reinvested distributions. You may be eligible for reduction or waiver of this CDSC under certain circumstances. See the SAI for details.

f. Purchases by participants in the Victory Investment Program.

g. Purchases by participants in no transaction fee programs offered by certain broker-dealers (sometimes referred to as “supermarkets”).

h. Purchases by financial intermediaries who have entered into an agreement with the Distributor to offer shares to self-directed investment brokerage accounts that may or may not charge a transaction fee to its customers.

i. Investors that have an investment account with the Adviser.

j. Individuals who reinvest the proceeds of redemptions from Class Y or I shares of another Victory Fund within 60 days of redemption.

You should inform the Funds or your broker or other financial intermediary at the time of purchase of the sales charge waiver category which you believe applies.

*Affiliated Providers are affiliates and subsidiaries of the Adviser, and any organization that provides services to the Trust.

20

Calculation of Sales Charges for Class C Shares

You will pay a 1.00% CDSC on any Class C shares you sell within 12 months of purchase. The CDSC is based on the current value of the shares being sold or their NAV when purchased, whichever is less. There is no CDSC on shares you acquire by reinvesting your dividends or capital gains distributions. You may be eligible for reduction or waiver of this CDSC under certain circumstances. There is no CDSC imposed when you exchange your shares for Class C shares of another Victory Fund; however, your exchange is subject to the same CDSC schedule that applied to your original purchase.

An investor may, within 90 days of a redemption of Class C shares, reinvest all or part of the redemption proceeds in the Class C shares of any Victory Fund at the NAV next computed after receipt by the transfer agent of the reinvestment order. Class C share proceeds reinstated do not result in a refund of any CDSC paid by the shareholder, but the reinstated shares will be treated as CDSC exempt upon reinstatement. The shareholder must ask the Distributor for such privilege at the time of reinvestment.

To keep your CDSC as low as possible, each time you sell shares we will first sell shares in your account that are not subject to CDSC. If there are not enough of these to meet your sale, we will sell the shares in the order they were purchased.

Individual purchases of $1,000,000 and above will automatically be made in Class A shares of the Fund.

21

Eligibility Requirements to Purchase Class R Shares

Class R shares may only be purchased by:

· Retirement plans, including Section 401 and 457 plans, section 403 plans sponsored by a section 501(c)(3) organization and certain non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements that operate in a similar manner to qualified plans.

·   Fee-based investment products or accounts.

Eligibility Requirements to Purchase Class Y Shares

Only Eligible Investors may purchase or exchange into Class Y shares of the Fund. Eligible Investors include the following:

· Institutional and individual retail investors with a minimum investment in Class Y shares of $1,000,000 who purchase through certain broker-dealers or directly from the transfer agent;

· Clients of state-registered or federally-registered investment advisors (RIAs), where such RIAs trade through institutional trading platforms approved by the Funds who invest at least $2,500;

· Investors who purchase through select fee-based advisory programs with an approved financial intermediary. In fee-based advisory programs, a financial intermediary typically charges each investor a fee based upon the value of the account. Such transactions may be subject to additional rules or requirements of the applicable financial intermediary’s program.

· Purchases by:

i. current and retired Victory Fund trustees or officers (including the former trustees and officers of the Munder Series Trust).

ii. directors, trustees, employees, and family members of employees of the Adviser (including those from Munder Capital Management) or “Affiliated Providers”.**

iii. investment advisory clients of the Adviser.

iv. investment advisors, consultants, broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries investing for their own accounts or for the accounts of their immediate family members.

**Affiliated Providers are affiliates, parents and subsidiaries of the Adviser and any organization that provides services to the Trust.

How to Buy Shares

Opening an account

If you would like to open an account, you will first need to complete an Account Application.

You can obtain an Account Application by calling Victory Funds Customer Service at 1-800-438-5789. You can also download an Account Application by visiting the Funds website, VictoryFunds.com, and clicking on the Victory Funds Account Application link.

You can also obtain an Account Application by contacting your Investment Professional. When you invest through an Investment Professional, the procedures for buying, selling, and exchanging shares and the account features and policies may differ. In addition to any limitations described in this Prospectus, an Investment Professional or other intermediary may also place other limits on your ability to use the services of a Fund. Sometimes an Investment Professional will charge you for its services. This fee will be in addition to, and unrelated to, the fees and expenses charged by a Fund.

Mutual funds must obtain and verify information that identifies investors opening new accounts. If the Fund is unable to collect the required information, you may not be able to open your account. Additional details about the Fund’s Customer Identification Program are available in the section “Important Fund Policies.”

If your investment order is accepted by the Fund, an Investment Professional or other intermediary, it will be priced at the NAV next computed as described in the section entitled “Share Price.”

If you participate in a retirement plan that offers one of the Victory Funds as an option, please consult your employer for information on how to purchase shares of the Victory Funds through the plan, including any restrictions or limitations that may apply.

23

Paying for your initial purchase

Make your check payable to The Victory Funds. All checks must be drawn on U.S. banks. If your check is returned as uncollectible for any reason, you will be charged for any resulting fees and/or losses. The Fund does not accept cash, money orders, traveler’s checks, credit card convenience checks, or third party checks. Additionally, bank starter checks are not accepted for the shareholder’s initial investment into the Fund. All payments must be denominated in U.S. dollars.

Minimum investments

If you would like to buy Class A or Class C shares, the minimum investment required to open an account is $2,500; no minimum for certain retirement plans and approved fee-based and/or advisor program and similar accounts ($1,000 for IRA accounts), with additional investments of at least $250. If you would like to buy Class R or Class Y shares, you must first be an Eligible Investor, as discussed in the section Choosing a Share Class — Eligibility Requirements to Purchase . There are no minimum investment amounts required for Class R or Class Y shares except as set forth in the Eligibility Requirements to Purchase .

The minimum investment required to open an account may be waived or lowered for employees, and immediate family members of the employee, of the Adviser, the Administrator, and their affiliates. In addition, the minimum investment required may be waived when the Fund is purchased in a managed account or within qualified retirement plans or in other similar circumstances. Although the Fund may sometimes waive the minimum investment, when it does so, it always reserves the right to reject initial investments under the minimum at its discretion.

There is no minimum investment required to open an account or for additional investments in Victory Simple IRAs.

We will need your bank information and the amount ($250 or more) and frequency of your investment. You can select monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual investments. You should attach a voided personal check so the proper information can be obtained. You must first meet the minimum investment requirement before we will make automatic withdrawals from your bank account and invest it in shares of a Fund.

Other purchase rules you should know

Each Fund reserves the right to refuse a purchase order for any reason, including if it believes that doing so would be in the best interest of the Fund or its shareholders.

28

How to Exchange Shares

You can obtain a list of Victory Funds available for exchange by calling 800-438-5789 or by visiting VictoryFunds.com

The shares of any class of any Fund may be exchanged for the shares of any other class offered by that Fund or the same class, or any other class, of any other Victory Fund, either through your Investment Professional or directly through the Fund, subject to the conditions described below:

· Exchanges are subject to any CDSC, minimum investment limitation or eligibility requirements described in the applicable Prospectus and SAI. You may be required to provide sufficient information to establish eligibility to exchange to the new share class.

· The Fund shares you want to exchange and the Fund shares you want to buy must be subject to the exchange privilege.

· Shares of the Fund selected for exchange must be available for sale in your state of residence.

If you have questions about these, or any of the Funds’ other exchange policies, please consult Victory Customer Service or your Investment Professional before requesting an exchange.

Before exchanging, you should read the Prospectus of the Fund you wish to exchange into, which may be subject to different risks, fees and expenses.

C share conversion

You may be able to convert your Class C shares to a different share class of the same Fund that has a lower expense ratio provided certain conditions are met. This conversion feature is intended for shares held through a financial intermediary offering a fee-based or wrap fee program that has an agreement with the Adviser or the Distributor specific for this purpose. Generally, Class C shares are not eligible for conversion until the applicable CDSC period has expired. Please contact your financial intermediary for additional information.

Processing your exchange/conversion

If your exchange request is received and accepted by the Fund, an Investment Professional or other intermediary by the close of trading as described in the section entitled “Share Price” then your exchange

29

will be processed the same day. Your exchange will be processed on the next business day if received after the close of trading. Exchanges will occur at the respective NAVs of the share classes next calculated after receipt and acceptance of your exchange request, plus any applicable sales charge described in the Prospectus.

If your shares of a Fund are exchanged for or converted to a different share class of the same Fund, the transaction will be based on the respective net asset value of each class as of the trade date of the conversion. Consequently, you may receive fewer shares or more shares than originally owned, depending on that day’s net asset values. Please contact your financial intermediary regarding the tax consequences of any conversion.

Requesting an exchange

You can exchange shares of a Fund by telephone, by mail or via the Internet. You cannot exchange into an account with a different registration or tax identification number.

· By Telephone

Unless you indicate otherwise on the account application, Victory Customer Service will be authorized to accept exchange instructions received by telephone.

· By Mail

Send a letter of instruction signed by all registered owners or their legal representatives to the Victory Funds.

· Via the Internet

You may also exchange shares via the Internet at VictoryFunds.com if you are a registered user.

Other exchange rules you should know

Each Fund may refuse any exchange purchase request if the Adviser determines that the request is associated with a market timing strategy. Each Fund may

30

terminate or modify the exchange privilege at any time on 60 days’ notice to shareholders.

An exchange of Fund shares for shares of another Fund constitutes a sale for tax purposes unless the exchange is made within an IRA or other tax-deferred account.

For information on how to exchange shares of a Fund that were purchased through your employer’s retirement plan, including any restrictions and charges that the plan may impose, please consult your employer.

31

How to Sell Shares

If your redemption request is received in good order by the close of trading on the NYSE, your redemption will be processed the same day. Your redemption will not be processed until the next business day if it is received after the close of trading on the NYSE. You cannot redeem your shares at www.VictoryFunds.com.

BY TELEPHONE

The easiest way to redeem shares is by calling 800-438-5789. When you fill out your original application, be sure to check the box marked “Telephone Authorization.” Then when you are ready to sell, call and tell us which one of the following options you would like to use:

· Mail a check to the address of record;

· Wire funds to a previously designated domestic financial institution;

· Mail a check to a previously designated alternate address; or

· Electronically transfer your redemption via ACH to a previously designated domestic financial institution.

The transfer agent records all telephone calls for your protection and takes measures to verify the identity of the caller. If the transfer agent properly acts on telephone instructions and follows reasonable procedures to ensure against unauthorized transactions, none of the Trust, its servicing agents, the Adviser, or the transfer agent will be responsible for any losses. If the transfer agent does not follow these procedures, it may be liable to you for losses resulting from unauthorized instructions.

If there is an unusual amount of market activity and you cannot reach the transfer agent or your Investment Professional by telephone, consider placing your order by mail.

There are a number of convenient ways to sell your shares. You can use the same mailing addresses listed for purchases.

32

BY MAIL

Use the regular U.S. mail or overnight mail address to redeem shares. Send us a letter of instruction indicating your Fund account number, amount of redemption, and where to send the proceeds. A Medallion signature guarantee is required for the following redemption requests:

· Your account registration has changed within the last 15 days;

· The check is not being mailed to the address on your account;

· The check is not being made payable to the owner of the account;

· The redemption proceeds are being transferred to another Victory Fund account with a different registration; or

· The check or wire is being sent to a different bank account than was previously designated.

You can get a Medallion signature guarantee from a financial institution — such as a commercial bank, broker dealer, credit union, clearing agency, or savings bank — that is a member of a Medallion signature guarantee program.

BY WIRE

If you want to receive your proceeds by wire, you must establish a Fund account that will accommodate wire transactions. If you call before the close of trading on the NYSE, your funds will be wired on the same business day.

BY ACH

Normally, your redemption will be processed on the same day, but will be processed on the next day if received after the close of trading on the NYSE. It will be transferred by ACH as long as the transfer is to a domestic bank.

33

Systematic Withdrawal Plan

If you check this box on the Account Application or on the Account Maintenance Form, we will send monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual payments to the person you designate. The minimum withdrawal is $25, and you must have a balance of $5,000 or more at the time you establish the Systematic Withdrawal Plan. If the payment is to be sent to an account of yours, we will need a voided check to activate this feature. If the payment is to be made to an address different from your account address, we will need a Medallion signature guaranteed letter of instruction. You should be aware that each withdrawal may be a taxable transaction. Also, each withdrawal reduces your account balance, and eventually your account balance may be depleted. However, you cannot automatically close your account using the Systematic Withdrawal Plan. If your balance falls below the initial purchase minimum, we may ask you to bring the account back to the minimum balance. If you decide not to increase your account to the minimum balance, your account may be closed and the proceeds mailed to you.

Additional Information about Redemptions

· Redemption proceeds from the sale of Fund shares purchased by a check or through ACH will be held until the purchase check or ACH has cleared, which may take up to 10 business days.

· The Fund may postpone payment of redemption proceeds for up to seven calendar days at any time.

· The Fund may suspend your right to redeem your shares in the following circumstances:

· During non-routine closings of the NYSE;

· When the SEC determines either that trading on the NYSE is restricted or that an emergency prevents the sale or valuation of the Fund’s securities; or

· When the SEC orders a suspension to protect the Fund’s shareholders.

34

· The Fund will pay redemptions by any one shareholder during any 90-day period in cash up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1.00% of the Fund’s net assets. The Fund reserves the right to pay the remaining portion “in kind,” that is, in portfolio securities rather than cash.

· If you choose to have your redemption proceeds mailed to you and either the United States Postal Service is unable to deliver the redemption check to you or the check remains outstanding for at least six months, the Fund reserves the right to reinvest the check in shares of the Fund at its then current NAV until you give the Fund different instructions. No interest will accrue on amounts represented by uncashed redemption checks.

35

Distribution and Service Plans

Distribution Plans

In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Trust has adopted Distribution and Service Plans for Class A shares, Class C shares and Class R shares of the Fund.

Under the Class A Distribution and Service Plan, the Fund will pay to the Distributor a monthly fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Under the Class R Distribution and Service Plan, the Fund will pay to the Distributor a monthly fee at an annual rate of up to 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The fee is paid for general distribution services, for selling Class A and Class R shares as applicable for the Fund and for providing personal services to shareholders of the Fund. Distribution and selling services are provided by the Distributor or by agents of the Distributor and include those services intended to result in the sale of the Fund’s shares. Personal services to shareholders are generally provided by broker-dealers or other intermediaries and consist of responding to inquiries, providing information to shareholders about their Fund accounts, establishing and maintaining accounts and records, providing dividend and distribution payments, arranging for bank wires, assisting in transactions and changing account information.

Under the Class C Distribution and Service Plan, the Fund will pay to the Distributor a monthly fee at an annual rate of 1.00% of the average daily net assets of its Class C shares. Of this amount, 0.75% of the Fund’s Class C shares average daily net assets will be paid for general distribution services and for selling Class C shares. The Fund will pay 0.25% of its Class C shares average daily net assets to compensate financial institutions that provide personal services to Class C shareholders of the Fund. Distribution and selling services are provided by the Distributor or by agents of the Distributor and include those services

36

intended to result in the sale of the Fund’s Class C shares. Personal services to shareholders are generally provided by broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries and consist of responding to inquiries, providing information to shareholders about their Fund accounts, establishing and maintaining accounts and records, providing dividend and distribution payments, arranging for bank wires, assisting in transactions and changing account information.

Because Rule 12b-1 fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets and on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

Other Payments to Financial Intermediaries

The Adviser (and its affiliates) may make substantial payments to affiliated and unaffiliated dealers or other Investment Professionals and service providers for distribution, administrative and/or shareholder servicing activities, out of its own resources, including the profits from the advisory fees the Adviser receives from the Fund. The Adviser also may reimburse the Distributor (or the Distributor’s affiliates) for making these payments. Some of these distribution-related payments may be made to dealers or Investment Professional for marketing, promotional or related expenses; these payments are often referred to as “revenue sharing.” In some circumstances, those types of payments may create an incentive for a dealer or Investment Professional or its representatives to recommend or offer shares of the Fund or other Victory Funds to its customers. You should ask your dealer or Investment Professional for more details about any such payments it receives.
