Victory Funds Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholder,

Although the bull market in equities has continued running, the annual period ended June 30, 2019, was not without its missteps and surprises. Chief among these was an abrupt pivot from the U.S. Federal Reserve ("Fed") in late 2018. Against the backdrop of rapidly falling equities in the fourth quarter of last year, the Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC") signaled that its next policy move would be to lower — not increase — short-term interest rates. Naturally, stocks cheered this pivot in policy, which helped reverse their momentary stumble. The bulls were off and running again, and as of June 30, 2019, the S&P 500 Index® was flirting with another all-time high.

The S&P 500 Index's1 total annual return clocked in at 10.42% for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2019. The relatively strong, albeit sometimes bumpy, performance of domestic stocks was broad-based during the period, though large capitalization stocks as a category outperformed their small-cap counterparts. Despite the sometimes-dire headlines and concerns about the waning impact of fiscal stimulus, the market's performance generally illustrates strength in the underlying U.S. economy and labor market. Certainly there are ample concerns, including global growth rates, the inversion of the yield curve, and ongoing trade disputes, but these worries have been countered by rising expectations for a more accommodative Fed. In fact, recent pricing of Fed Funds futures are factoring additional rate cuts as a near certainty.

Although investors seem to be rejoicing over a continuing sustainable environment for stocks — one that includes an accommodative monetary policy, tepid inflation, robust job growth, and steady consumer spending — we think it's equally important to understand the reasons behind the Fed's pivot from a hawkish to neutral (or dovish) policy. Among other reasons, it was a tacit acknowledgment that risks to global growth were mounting.

On one hand it's easy to understand the economy's robust performance. The domestic economy is on solid ground, and there is room for some optimism regarding the direction of short-term interest rates. Then again, the recent trade turmoil is still a wildcard without a clear resolution in sight, and any prolonged uncertainty could impact economic growth domestically and globally. The trade turmoil might also upend global supply chains, which could be detrimental to large swaths of the market.

Given that the current run in stocks is more than a decade old, it's important for investors to keep in perspective that the bull cannot run forever. Investing is not without risks, and there are cross-currents that need to be monitored and navigated. Nevertheless, we continue to believe that Victory Capital's independent investment franchises can excel in this tricky environment thanks to their commitment to risk management, among many other reasons. Moreover, many of our investment managers welcome an environment that often creates short-term pricing dislocations that may benefit astute investors.

Victory Equity Long/Cash Funds

Victory US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd Index Fund

Portfolio Review
June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)

Portfolio Holdings:

(As a Percentage of Total Investments)

The Victory US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd Index Fund ("Fund") seeks to provide investment results that track the performance of the Nasdaq Victory US Large Cap 500 Long/Cash Volatility Weighted Index ("Index") before fees and expenses.

The Fund returned -0.01% (Class A Shares at net asset value) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. The Index returned 1.07% and the S&P 500 Index, a market-cap based index against which the performance of the Fund is also measured, returned 10.42% during the same period. The difference in performance of the Fund and the Index was primarily due to the Fund's fees and expenses. Neither the Index nor the S&P 500 Index are investable products, therefore fees and expenses do not apply.

The Communication Services and Industrial sectors contributed positively to the Fund's performance relative to the S&P 500 Index over the fiscal year. The Technology and Consumer Discretionary sectors contributed negatively to the Fund's performance relative to the S&P 500 Index over that period.

The Index moves from equities to Treasury bills ("T-Bills") during periods of significant market decline ("Long/Cash" feature). The Long/Cash feature of the Index triggered and allocated to a 75% T-Bill position on January 2nd. The Index held that T-Bill position until February 1st, at which time the T-Bill position went back to zero. As of June 30, 2019, the Index, and thus the Fund, was 100% allocated to stocks. Due to the large market rally which occurred while the Index held the T-Bill position, the Long/Cash trigger was the key driver of the Fund's underperformance versus the S&P 500 Index for the fiscal year.

Victory Bond Replacement Funds

Victory Market Neutral Income Fund

Portfolio Review
June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)

Portfolio Holdings:

(As a Percentage of Total Investments)

The Victory Market Neutral Income Fund ("Fund") seeks to provide investment results that achieve high current income.

The Fund returned 1.99% (Class A Shares at net asset value) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, underperforming its benchmark, the FTSE 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index ("Index"), which returned 2.30%.

The Fund pursues its investment objective by engaging in a multi-strategy approach utilizing several distinct strategies. Four of those strategies involve buying the stocks of the Nasdaq Victory High Dividend Indexes and shorting an equal dollar amount of high correlating equity futures against them. Together, these strategies are referred to as the "spread" strategies and cover the U.S. large cap, U.S. small cap, international developed, and emerging market asset classes in approximately equal dollar amounts.

The Fund's remaining strategies are designed to diversify its investments and its market risk exposure. During the period, these consisted of (1) holding a long or short futures contract in the CBOE Volatility Index, also known as the VIX (an index widely used as a measure of market risk) (the VIX strategy), (2) holding a long position in Nasdaq 100 Index futures and a short position in an equal dollar amount of S&P 500 Index futures (the Nasdaq/S&P strategy), and (3) selling an at-the-money put option on the S&P 500 Index once per month (the put option strategy).

The emerging market, international, and U.S. small cap spread strategies each contributed positively to the Fund's performance versus its Index over the last 12 months. The US large cap spread strategy contributed negatively to the Fund's performance during the period.

The Fund's use of derivative strategies to hedge market risk and produce a steady stream of income can produce offsetting gains or losses depending on the market environment. Of these strategies the VIX and Nasdaq/S&P long/short strategies contributed negatively to the Fund's performance while the put option strategy was a positive contributor.

Victory Portfolios II

  Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2019
 

1. Organization:

Victory Portfolios II (the "Trust") was organized on April 11, 2012 as a Delaware statutory trust as a successor to a company named "Compass EMP Funds Trust". 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 20 funds, 18 of which are exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with no par value. Each Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.

The accompanying financial statements are those of the two following Funds (collectively, the "Funds" and individually, a "Fund").

Funds (Legal Name)

 

Funds (Short Name)

  Investment Share
Classes Offered
 
Victory US 500 Enhanced
Volatility Wtd Index Fund
  US 500 Enhanced Volatility
Wtd Index Fund
  Classes A, C and I
 
 
Victory Market Neutral Income
Fund
  Market Neutral Fund
 
  Classes A, C and I
 
 

Each class of shares of a Fund has substantially identical rights and privileges except with respect to sales charges, fees paid under distribution plans, expenses allocable exclusively to each class of shares, voting rights on matters solely affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange privilege of each class of shares.

Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect that risk of loss to be remote.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Funds follow the specialized accounting and reporting requirements under GAAP that are applicable to investment companies.

Investment Valuation:

The Funds record investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Funds' investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

• Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities or interest rates applicable to those securities, etc.)

• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds' own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuation techniques are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with entering into those investments.

Portfolio securities listed or traded on securities exchanges, including American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") and Rights, are valued at the closing price on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, if available, or at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price. If there have been no sales for that day on the exchange or system, then a security is valued at the last available bid quotation on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or an exchange on which they are traded. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Options are generally valued at the last quoted sales price or, in the absence of a sale, at the mean between the current bid and ask prices. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Investments for which there are no such quotations, or for which quotations do not appear reliable, are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board"). These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, based on the observability of inputs used to determine the fair value.

In accordance with procedures adopted by the Board, fair value pricing may be used if events materially affecting the value of foreign securities occur between the time the exchange on which they are traded closes and the time the Funds' net asset values are calculated. The Market Neutral Income Fund uses a systematic valuation model, provided daily by an independent third party to fair value its international equity securities. These valuations are considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

A summary of the valuations as of June 30, 2019, based upon the three levels defined above, is included in the table below while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed in the Schedules of Portfolio Investments:

^  Other Financial instruments include any derivative instruments not reflected in the Schedules of Portfolio Investments as Investment Securities, such as futures contracts and written options. These instruments are generally recorded in the financial statements at the unrealized gain or loss on the investment.

For the year ended June 30, 2019, there were no Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value.

Investment Companies:

Open-End Funds:

The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the board of directors of the underlying funds.

Derivative Instruments:

Foreign Exchange Currency Contracts:

The Funds may enter into foreign exchange currency contracts to convert U.S. dollars to and from various foreign currencies. A foreign exchange currency contract is an obligation by a Fund to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date at a price (in U.S. dollars) set at the time of the contract. The Funds do not engage in "cross-currency" foreign exchange contracts (i.e., contracts to purchase or sell one foreign currency in exchange for another foreign currency). The Funds' foreign exchange currency contracts might be considered spot contracts (typically a contract of one week or less) or forward contracts (typically a contract term over one week). A spot contract is entered into for purposes of hedging against foreign currency fluctuations relating to a specific portfolio transaction, such as the delay between a security transaction trade date and settlement date. Forward contracts are entered into for purposes of hedging portfolio holdings or concentrations of such holdings. Each foreign exchange currency contract is adjusted daily by the prevailing spot or forward rate of the underlying currency, and any appreciation or depreciation is recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the contract settlement date, at which time the Fund records realized gains or losses equal to the difference between the value of a contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. A Fund could be exposed to risk if a counterparty is unable to meet the terms of a

foreign exchange currency contract or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. In addition, the use of foreign exchange currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. As of June 30, 2019, the Funds had no open forward foreign exchange currency contracts.

Futures Contracts:

The Funds may enter into contracts for the future delivery of securities or foreign currencies and futures contracts based on a specific security, class of securities, foreign currency or an index, and purchase or sell options on any such futures contracts. A futures contract on a securities index is an agreement obligating either party to pay, and entitling the other party to receive, while the contract is outstanding, cash payments based on the level of a specified securities index. No physical delivery of the underlying asset is made. A Fund may enter into futures contracts in an effort to hedge against market risks. The acquisition of put and call options on futures contracts will give the Fund the right (but not the obligation), for a specified price, to sell or to purchase the underlying futures contract, upon exercise of the option, at any time during the option period. Futures transactions involve brokerage costs and require the Fund to segregate assets to cover contracts that would require it to purchase securities or currencies. A good faith margin deposit, known as initial margin, of cash or government securities with a broker or custodian is required to initiate and maintain open positions in futures contracts. Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund based on the change in the market value of the position and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is closed out, at which time the gain or loss is realized. A Fund may lose the expected benefit of futures transactions if interest rates, exchange rates or securities prices change in an unanticipated manner. Such unanticipated changes may also result in lower overall performance than if the Fund had not entered into any futures transactions. In addition, the value of a Fund's futures positions may not prove to be perfectly or even highly correlated with the value of its portfolio securities or foreign currencies, limiting a Fund's ability to hedge effectively against interest rate, exchange rate and/or market risk and giving rise to additional risks. There is no assurance of liquidity in the secondary market for purposes of closing out futures positions. The collateral held by the Funds is presented on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities under Deposit with broker for futures contracts.

As of June 30, 2019, the Funds entered into futures contracts primarily for the strategy of hedging or other purposes, including but not limited to, providing liquidity and equitizing cash.

Options Transactions:

The Funds may purchase or sell options to aid in hedging against equity price risk incurred in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. When a Fund writes a call option, an amount equal to the premium received is included as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a written call option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized for the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. As a writer of an option, the Fund has no control over whether the option will be exercised and, as a result, retains the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.

The Funds may purchase put and call options. Put options are purchased to hedge against a decline in the value of securities held in the Fund's portfolio. If such a decline occurs, the put options will permit the Fund to sell the securities underlying such options at the exercise price, or to close out the options at a profit. The premium paid for a put or call option plus any transaction costs will reduce the benefit, if any, realized by the Fund upon exercise of the option, and, unless the price of the underlying security rises or declines sufficiently, the option may expire worthless to the Fund. In addition, in the event that the price of the security in connection with which an option was purchased moves in a direction favorable to the Fund, the benefits realized by the Fund as a result of such favorable movement will be reduced by the amount of the premium paid for the option and related transaction costs. Written and purchased options are non-income producing securities. With purchased options, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Fund since these options are exchange-traded. The collateral held by the Funds is presented on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments.

Offsetting of Financial Assets and Derivatives Assets:

The Funds are subject to various Master Netting Arrangements, which govern the terms of certain transactions with select counterparties. The Master Netting Arrangements allow the Funds to close out and net total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default with respect to all the transactions governed under a single agreement with a counterparty. The Master Netting Arrangements also specify collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Under the Master Netting Arrangements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions (net of existing collateral already in place) governed under the relevant Master Netting Arrangement with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specified threshold depending on the counterparty and the type of Master Netting Arrangement.

The table below, as of June 30, 2019, discloses both gross information and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and instruments and transactions that are subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement as well as amounts related to collateral held at clearing brokers and counterparties.

All open derivative positions at year end are reflected in each respective Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The underlying face value of open derivative positions relative to each Fund's net assets at year end is generally representative of the notional amount of open positions to net assets throughout the year.

Investment Transactions and Related Income:

Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is determined on the basis 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 determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.

Withholding taxes on interest, dividends and gains as a result of certain investments in ADRs by the Funds have been provided for in accordance with each investment's applicable country's tax rules and rates.

Securities Lending:

The Trust has entered into a Master Securities Lending Agreement ("MSLA") with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank" or the "Agent"). Under the terms of the MSLA, the Funds may lend securities to certain broker-dealers and banks in exchange for collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non-U.S. securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls associated with increases in the valuation of the securities loaned are adjusted the next business day. The collateral can be received in the form of cash collateral and/or non-cash collateral. Non-cash collateral can include U.S. Government Securities, letters of credit and certificates of deposit. The cash collateral is invested in short-term instruments or cash equivalents, primarily open-end investment companies, as noted in the Funds' Schedules of Portfolio Investments. The Trust does not have effective control of the non-cash collateral and therefore it is not disclosed in the Funds' Schedules of Portfolio Investments. During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the Funds any dividends or interest paid on such securities plus any fee negotiated between the parties to the lending agreement. The Funds also earn a return from the collateral. The Funds pay the Agent various fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral and fees based on the investment income received from securities lending activities. Securities lending income (net of these fees) is disclosed on the Statements of Operations. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Funds could experience a delay in recovering their securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them.

Securities lending transactions are entered into by a Fund under the MSLA, which permits the Fund, under certain circumstances such as an event of default, to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts receivable from the counterparty to create a net payment due to or from the Fund.

The following table is a summary of the Funds' securities lending transactions which are subject to offset under the MSLA as of June 30, 2019. These transactions are accounted for as secured borrowings with an overnight and continuous contractual maturity for cash collateral, and greater than overnight and continuous contractual maturity for non-cash collateral.

*  Collateral received in excess of the market value of securities on loan is not presented in this table. The total cash collateral received by each Fund is disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Foreign Currency Translations:

The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities of a Fund denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the date of the transactions. The Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are disclosed as net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments and foreign currency translations on the Statements of Operations. Any realized gains or losses from these fluctuations are disclosed as net realized gains or losses from investment securities and foreign currency translations on the Statements of Operations.

Foreign Taxes:

The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes related to foreign income received (a portion of which may be reclaimable), capital gains on the sale of securities, and certain foreign currency transactions. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest.

Distributions to Shareholders:

Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly for each Fund. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually from each Fund.The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by a Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Federal Income Taxes:

It is the policy of each Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Funds have a tax year end of June 30.

Management of the Funds has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., all open tax years and the interim tax period since then). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.

Allocations:

Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to the Fund, while expenses which are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust, or jointly with an affiliated trust, are allocated among the respective funds in the Trust and/or affiliated trust based upon net assets or another appropriate basis.

Income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses such as transfer agent fees, state registration fees, printing 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.

Affiliated Securities Transactions:

Pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act, the Funds may engage in securities transactions with affiliated investment companies and advisory accounts managed by the Adviser and any applicable sub-adviser. Any such purchase or sale transaction must be effected without brokerage commission or other remuneration, except for customary transfer fees. The transaction must be effected at the current market price, which is either the security's last sale price on an exchange or, if there are no transactions in the security that day, at the average of the highest bid and lowest asked price. For the year ended June 30, 2019, the Funds did not engage in any Rule 17a-7 transactions under the 1940 Act.

3. Purchases and Sales of Securities:

Purchases and sales of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) for the year ended June 30, 2019 were as follows:

4. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties:

Investment advisory services are provided to the Funds by Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or the "Adviser"), a New York corporation registered as an investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Adviser is a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Victory Capital Holdings, Inc., a publicly traded Delaware corporation, and a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Victory Capital Operating, LLC.

VCM pays Citi a fee for providing these services. The Trust reimburses VCM and Citi for all of their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing these services.

FIS Investor Services, LLC ("FIS") serves as the Funds' transfer agent. Under the Transfer Agent Agreement, the Trust pays FIS a fee for its services and reimburses FIS for all of their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing these services.

The Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO") is an employee of the Adviser, which pays the compensation of the CCO and his support staff. The Trust has entered into an Agreement to provide compliance services with the Adviser, pursuant to which the Adviser furnishes its compliance personnel, including the services of the CCO, and other resources reasonably necessary to provide the Trust with compliance oversight services related to the design, administration and oversight of a compliance program for the Trust in accordance with Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The funds in the Victory Funds Complex, in aggregate, compensate the Adviser for these services.

The Victory Funds Complex pays an annual retainer to each Independent Trustee, plus an additional annual retainer to the Chairman of the Board. The aggregate amount of the fees and expenses of the Independent Trustees are allocated amongst all the funds in the Victory Funds Complex and are presented in the Statements of Operations.

Shearman & Sterling LLP provides legal services to the Trust.

Victory Capital Advisers, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as distributor for the continuous offering of the shares of the Funds pursuant to a Distribution Agreement between the Distributor and the Trust.

Pursuant to the Distribution and Service Plans adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Distributor may receive a monthly distributions and service fee, at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets for Class A Shares, at an annual rate of up to 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C Shares of the Funds. The distribution and service fees paid to the Distributor may be used by the Distributor to pay for activities primarily intended to result in the sale of Class A or Class C Shares of the Funds.

In addition, the Distributor is entitled to receive commission on sales of Class A Shares of the Funds. For the year ended June 30, 2019, the Distributor received approximately $4,318 from commissions earned on sales of Class A Shares. A $15 fee may be charged for redemptions made by wire. The redemption fee is paid directly to and retained by the Funds, and is designed to deter excessive short-term trading and to offset brokerage commissions, market impact and other costs that may be associated with short-term money movement in and out of the Funds.

The Adviser has entered into expense limitation agreements with certain Funds. Under the terms of the agreements, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of a Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. Interest,

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 and Legal Counsel.

5. Risks:

Each Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.

An investment in the Funds' shares represents an indirect investment in the securities owned by the Funds, some of which will be traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter markets. The value of the securities in which the Funds invest, like other market investments, may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. The value of the securities in which the Funds invest may affect the value of the Funds' shares. An investment in the Funds' shares at any point in time may be worth less than the original investment, even after taking into account the reinvestment of the Funds' distributions.

The Market Neutral Income Fund invests in securities of foreign issuers in various countries. Investing on an international basis involves certain risks not involved in domestic investments including the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets, imposition of currency exchange controls or restrictions on the repatriation of foreign currency, confiscatory taxation, political or financial instability and diplomatic developments, which could affect the value of the Fund's investments in certain foreign countries. Governments of many countries have exercised and continue to exercise substantial influence over many aspects of the private sector through the ownership or control of many companies, including some of the largest in these countries. As a result, government actions in the future could have a significant effect on economic conditions which may adversely affect prices of certain portfolio securities. There is also generally less government supervision and regulation of stock exchanges, brokers and listed companies than in the U.S. Dividends or interest on, or proceeds from the sale of, foreign securities may be subject to foreign withholding taxes, and special U.S. tax considerations may apply. Moreover, foreign economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital re-investment, resource self-sufficiency and balance of payments position. The Schedule of Portfolio Investments includes information on each Fund's holdings, including industry and/or geographic composition, as relevant.

The Funds will be subject to credit risk with respect to the amount each expects to receive from counterparties for financial instruments entered into by the Funds. The Funds may be negatively impacted if a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties. The Funds may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding and the Funds may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. The Funds typically enter into transactions with counterparties whose credit ratings are investment grade, as determined by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or, if unrated, judged by the Adviser to be of comparable quality.

6. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:

Line of Credit:

For the year ended June 30, 2019, the Victory Funds Complex participated in a short-term, demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex could borrow up to $250 million, of which $100 million was committed and $150 million was uncommitted. This agreement was in effect through July 26, 2019. Effective July 1, 2019, the current agreement was amended to include the USAA Mutual Funds Complex and has a new termination date of June 29, 2020. Under this amended agreement, the Victory Funds Complex and USAA Mutual Funds Complex, combined, may borrow up to $600 million, of which $300 million is committed and $300 million is uncommitted. $40 million of the Line of Credit is reserved for use by the Victory Floating Rate Fund, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with that Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the agreement is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs, including redemption requests that might otherwise require the untimely disposition of securities. With the agreement in affect for the year ended June 30, 2019, Citibank received an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $100 million for providing the Line of Credit. For the year ended June 30, 2019, Citibank earned approximately $150 thousand in commitment fees from the Victory Funds Complex. Effective July 1, 2019, Citibank receives an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $300 million for providing the Line of Credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex pays a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest (one month LIBOR plus one percent) on amounts borrowed, including the USAA Mutual Funds Complex, commencing July 1, 2019. Interest charged to the Funds during the period is presented on the Statement of Operations under line of credit fees.

The Funds did not utilize the Line of Credit during the year ended June 30, 2019.

Interfund Lending:

The Trust and Adviser rely on an exemptive order granted by the SEC in March 2017 (the "Order"), permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the "Facility"). The Facility allows each Fund to directly borrow money to or from any other Victory Fund relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are allowed for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund's borrowing restrictions. The interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. As a Borrower, interest charged to each Fund during the period is presented on the Statements of Operations under interfund lending fees.

The average borrowing for the days outstanding and average interest rate for each Fund during the year ended June 30, 2019 were as follows:

9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurements" ("ASU 2018-13"). This update makes certain removals from, changes to and additions to existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 does not change fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. ASU 2018-13 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. As permitted, the Funds have early adopted ASU 2018-13 with the financial statements prepared as of June 30, 2019.

In August 2018, the SEC adopted amendments to certain financial statement disclosure requirements to conform them to GAAP for investment companies. These amendments made certain disclosure requirements effective under Regulation S-X. The Funds' adoption of these amendments, effective with the financial statements prepared as of June 30, 2019 had no effect on the Funds' net assets or results of operations. As a result of adopting these amendments, the distributions to shareholders in the June 30, 2018 Statements of Changes in Net Assets presented herein have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation, which includes all distributions to each class of shareholders, other than tax basis return of capital distributions, in one line item per share class. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, and accumulated net investment income (loss) in the Funds for the year ended June 30, 2018 were as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of Victory Portfolios II

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, of Victory US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd Index Fund and Victory Market Neutral Income Fund (the "Funds"), each a series of Victory Portfolios II, as of June 30, 2019, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of June 30, 2019, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Funds' financial highlights for the year ended June 30, 2015, were audited by other auditors whose report dated August 28, 2015, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds' financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information

Proxy Voting:

Information regarding the policies and procedures each Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling 800-539-3863. The information is also included in the Funds' Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Information relating to how the Funds voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve months ended June 30 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments:

The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. Prior to the implementation of Form N-PORT, the Trust filed a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. Forms N-PORT and Forms N-Q are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Expense Examples

As a shareholder of the Funds, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019.

The Actual Expense figures in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

The Hypothetical Expense figures in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Victory Funds Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholder,

Although the bull market in equities has continued running, the annual period ended June 30, 2019, was not without its missteps and surprises. Chief among these was an abrupt pivot from the U.S. Federal Reserve ("Fed") in late 2018. Against the backdrop of rapidly falling equities in the fourth quarter of last year, the Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC") signaled that its next policy move would be to lower — not increase — short-term interest rates. Naturally, stocks cheered this pivot in policy, which helped reverse their momentary stumble. The bulls were off and running again, and as of June 30, 2019, the S&P 500 Index® was flirting with another all-time high.

The S&P 500 Index's1 total annual return clocked in at 10.42% for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2019. The relatively strong, albeit sometimes bumpy, performance of domestic stocks was broad-based during the period, though large capitalization stocks as a category outperformed their small-cap counterparts. Despite the sometimes-dire headlines and concerns about the waning impact of fiscal stimulus, the market's performance generally illustrates strength in the underlying U.S. economy and labor market. Certainly there are ample concerns, including global growth rates, the inversion of the yield curve, and ongoing trade disputes, but these worries have been countered by rising expectations for a more accommodative Fed. In fact, recent pricing of Fed Funds futures are factoring additional rate cuts as a near certainty.

Although investors seem to be rejoicing over a continuing sustainable environment for stocks — one that includes an accommodative monetary policy, tepid inflation, robust job growth, and steady consumer spending — we think it's equally important to understand the reasons behind the Fed's pivot from a hawkish to neutral (or dovish) policy. Among other reasons, it was a tacit acknowledgment that risks to global growth were mounting.

On one hand it's easy to understand the economy's robust performance. The domestic economy is on solid ground, and there is room for some optimism regarding the direction of short-term interest rates. Then again, the recent trade turmoil is still a wildcard without a clear resolution in sight, and any prolonged uncertainty could impact economic growth domestically and globally. The trade turmoil might also upend global supply chains, which could be detrimental to large swaths of the market.

Given that the current run in stocks is more than a decade old, it's important for investors to keep in perspective that the bull cannot run forever. Investing is not without risks, and there are cross-currents that need to be monitored and navigated. Nevertheless, we continue to believe that Victory Capital's independent investment franchises can excel in this tricky environment thanks to their commitment to risk management, among many other reasons. Moreover, many of our investment managers welcome an environment that often creates short-term pricing dislocations that may benefit astute investors.

On the following pages, you will find information relating to your Victory Funds investment. If you have any questions, we encourage you to contact your financial

VictoryShares US 500 Volatility Wtd ETF

Portfolio Review
June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)

Portfolio Holdings:

(As a Percentage of Total Investments)

The VictoryShares US 500 Volatility Wtd ETF ("Fund") seeks to provide investment results that track the performance of the Nasdaq Victory US Large Cap 500 Volatility Weighted Index ("Index") before fees and expenses.

The Fund returned 7.86% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, compared to the Index's return of 8.23%. The Fund underperformed the S&P 500 Index, a market-cap based index against which the performance of the Fund is measured, which returned 10.42% during the same period.

The Communication Services and Industrial sectors contributed positively to the Fund's performance relative to the S&P 500 Index over the fiscal year. The Technology and Consumer Discretionary sectors contributed negatively to the Fund's performance relative to the S&P 500 Index over that period. The Fund's underweight to Technology and overweight to the smaller stocks of the S&P 500 Index were the key drivers of the underperformance over the last 12 months.

Fund returns are shown at net asset value (NAV). More complete performance information, including returns at market price, is provided further below.

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its objective. The NAV of the Fund's shares may fluctuate due to changes in the market value of the Fund's holdings, as well as the relative supply of and demand for the shares on an exchange. The Fund is not actively managed and does not, therefore, seek returns in excess of the Index. The value of the equity securities in which the Fund invests may decline in response to developments impacting individual companies and/or general market conditions.

Portfolio Review
June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)

Portfolio Holdings:

(As a Percentage of Total Investments)

The VictoryShares International High Dividend Volatility Wtd ETF ("Fund") seeks to provide investment results that track the performance of the Nasdaq Victory International High Dividend 100 Volatility Weighted Index ("Index") before fees and expenses.

The Fund returned 0.62% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, compared to the Index's return of 1.05%. The MSCI EAFE Index (Net), a market-cap based index against which the performance of the Fund is measured, returned 1.08% during the same period.

The Fund's exposure to Spanish and Canadian companies contributed positively to its performance relative to the MSCI EAFE Index for the fiscal year. Companies based in France and Switzerland contributed negatively to the Fund's performance relative to the MSCI EAFE Index over the same period. The underweighting to Switzerland and security selection in France was the key driver of the underperformance over the last 12 months.

Fund returns are shown at net asset value (NAV). More complete performance information, including returns at market price, is provided further below.

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its objective. The NAV of the Fund's shares may fluctuate due to changes in the market value of the Fund's holdings, as well as the relative supply of and demand for the shares on an exchange. The Fund is not actively managed and does not, therefore, seek returns in excess of the Index. The value of the equity securities in which the Fund invests may decline in response to developments impacting individual companies and/or general market conditions. Investments in non-U.S. companies may be subject to additional risks not associated with U.S. companies, including less liquidity, greater volatility, lack of publicly available information and less developed trading markets.

(As a Percentage of Total Investments)

The VictoryShares US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF ("Fund") seeks to provide investment results that track the performance of the Nasdaq Victory US Large Cap 500 Long/Cash Volatility Weighted Index ("Index") before fees and expenses.

The Fund returned 0.69% over the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, compared to the Index's return of 1.07%. The Fund underperformed the S&P 500 Index, a market-cap based index against which the performance of the Fund is measured, which returned 10.42% during the same period.

The Communication Services and Industrial sectors contributed positively to the Fund's performance relative to the S&P 500 Index over the fiscal year. The Technology and Consumer Discretionary sectors contributed negatively to the Fund's performance relative to the S&P 500 Index over that period.

The Long/Cash feature of the Index triggered and allocated to a 75% T-Bill position on January 2nd. The index held that T-Bill position until February 1st at which time the T-Bill position went back to zero. As of June 30th, the Index had zero T-Bill position. Due to the large market rally which occurred while the Index held the T-Bill position, the Long/Cash trigger was the key driver of the Fund's underperformance versus the S&P 500 Index for the fiscal year.

Fund returns are shown at net asset value (NAV). More complete performance information, including returns at market price, is provided further below.

VictoryShares US Discovery Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF

Portfolio Review
June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)

Portfolio Holdings:

(As a Percentage of Total Investments)

The VictoryShares US Discovery Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF ("Fund") seeks to provide investment results that track the performance of the Nasdaq Victory US Small Cap 500 Long/Cash Volatility Weighted Index ("Index") before fees and expenses.

The Fund returned -19.04% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, compared to the Index's return of -18.72%. The Russell 2000 Index, a market-cap based index against which the performance of the Fund is measured, returned -3.31% during the same period.

The Health Care and Communication Services sectors contributed positively to the Fund's performance relative to the Russell 2000 Index over the fiscal year. The Real Estate and Technology sectors contributed negatively to the Fund's performance relative to the Russell 2000 Index.

The Long/Cash feature of the Index was triggered multiple times during the fiscal year: going to 75% T-Bills on November 1st, January 2nd, April 1st, and June 3rd, respectively. The Index reallocated back to a zero T-Bill position on December 3rd, March 1st, and May 1st, respectively. As of June 30th, the Index had a 75% T-Bill position. Due to the multiple market rallies which occurred while the Index held a T-Bill position, the Long/Cash trigger was the key driver of the Fund's underperformance versus the Russell 2000 Index for the fiscal year.

Fund returns are shown at net asset value (NAV). More complete performance information, including returns at market price, is provided further below.

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its objective. The NAV of the Fund's shares may fluctuate due to changes in the market value of the Fund's holdings, as well as the relative supply of and demand for the shares on an exchange. The Fund is not actively managed and does not, therefore, seek returns in excess of the Index. The value of the equity securities in which the Fund invests may decline in response to developments impacting individual companies and/or general market conditions. The shares of smaller capitalization companies may be more volatile than those of larger companies.

VictoryShares Developed Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF

Portfolio Review
June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)

Portfolio Holdings:

(As a Percentage of Total Investments)

The VictoryShares Developed Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF ("Fund") seeks to provide investment results that track the performance of the Nasdaq Victory International 500 Long/Cash Volatility Weighted Index ("Index") before fees and expenses.

The Fund returned -2.13% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, compared to the Index's return of -1.59%. The MSCI EAFE Index (Net), a market-cap based index against which the performance of the Fund is measured, returned 1.08% during the same period.

Fund exposure to Canadian and British companies contributed positively to the Fund's performance relative to the MSCI EAFE Index for the fiscal year. Companies based in Switzerland and France contributed negatively to the Fund's performance relative to the MSCI EAFE Index for the same period.

The Long/Cash feature of the Index triggered and allocated to a 75% T-Bill position on November 1st. The Index held that T-Bill position until March 1st at which time the T-Bill position went back to zero. As of June 30th, the Index had zero T-Bill position. Due to the large market rally which occurred while the Index held the T-Bill position, the Long/Cash trigger was the key driver of the Fund's underperformance versus the MSCI EAFE Index for the fiscal year.

Fund returns are shown at net asset value (NAV). More complete performance information, including returns at market price, is provided further below.

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its objective. The NAV of the Fund's shares may fluctuate due to changes in the market value of the Fund's holdings, as well as the relative supply of and demand for the shares on an exchange. The Fund is not actively managed and does not, therefore, seek returns in excess of the Index. The value of the equity securities in which the Fund invests may decline in response to developments impacting individual companies and/or general market conditions. Investments in non-U.S. companies may be subject to additional risks not associated with U.S. companies, including less liquidity, greater volatility, lack of publicly available information and less developed trading markets.

1. Organization:

Victory Portfolios II (the "Trust") was organized on April 11, 2012 as a Delaware statutory trust as a successor to a company named "Compass EMP Funds Trust". 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 20 funds, 18 of which are exchange-traded funds ("ETF"), and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with no par value. Each Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.

The accompanying financial statements are those of the following 14 Funds (collectively, the "Funds" and individually, a "Fund").

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:

Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC ("Exchange"). The Funds issue and redeem shares of a Fund ("Shares") at net asset value ("NAV") only in aggregations of 50,000 Shares (each a "Creation Unit"). Creation Units are issued and redeemed in exchange for a basket of securities included in the respective Fund's Index (the "Deposit Securities"), and/or with the deposit of a specified cash payment (the "Cash Component"), plus a transaction fee. Shares trade on the Exchange at market prices that may be below, at, or above NAV. Shares of a Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions ("Authorized Participants"). An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Most retail investors do not qualify as Authorized Participants nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they are unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from a Fund. In addition, shares may be issued in advance of receipt of Deposit Securities subject to various conditions, including a


194

requirement to maintain on deposit with the Trust cash equal to up to 105% of the market value of the missing Deposit Securities. In each instance of such cash creations or redemptions, transaction fees may be imposed and may be higher than the transaction fees associated with in-kind creations or redemptions.

Each Fund may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, with no par value. Shares of each Fund have equal rights and privileges. A purchase (i.e., creation) transaction fee is imposed for the transfer and other transactional costs associated with the purchase of Creation Units. In addition, a variable fee may be charged on all cash transactions or substitutes for Creation Units. Variable fees received by each Fund are displayed in the Capital Share Transaction section of the Statements of Changes in Net Assets as an increase to Paid-In-Capital.

The Transaction Fees for each Fund are listed below:

*  As a percentage of the amount invested.

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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Funds follow the specialized accounting and reporting requirements under GAAP that are applicable to investment companies.

Investment Valuation:

The Funds record investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Funds' investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

• Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities or interest rates applicable to those securities, etc.)

• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds' own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuation techniques are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with entering into those investments.

Portfolio securities listed or traded on securities exchanges, including American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") and Rights, are valued at the closing price on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, if available, or at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price. If there have been no sales for that day on the exchange or system, then a security is valued at the last available bid quotation on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or an exchange on which they are traded. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Investments for which there are no such quotations, or for which quotations do not appear reliable, are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board"). These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, based on the observability of inputs used to determine the fair value.

A summary of the valuations as of June 30, 2019, based upon the three levels defined above, is included in the table below while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed in the Schedules of Portfolio Investments:

*  Level 3 securities are typically valued by the Adviser, pursuant to fair valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.

Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"):

The Funds may invest in REITs, which report information on the source of their distributions annually. REITs are pooled investment vehicles that invest primarily in income-producing real estate or real estate related loans or interests (such as mortgages). Certain distributions received from REITs during the year are recorded as realized gains or return of capital as estimated by the Funds or when such information becomes known.

Investment Companies:

The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the board of directors of the underlying funds.

Derivative Instruments:

Foreign Exchange Currency Contracts:

The Developed Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF, International Volatility Wtd ETF, International High Div Volatility Wtd ETF and Emerging Market Volatility Wtd ETF may enter into foreign exchange currency contracts to convert U.S. dollars to and from various foreign currencies. A foreign exchange currency contract is an obligation by a Fund to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date at a price (in U.S. dollars) set at the time of the contract. The Funds do not engage in "cross-currency" foreign exchange contracts (i.e., contracts to purchase or sell one foreign currency in exchange for another foreign currency). The Funds' foreign exchange currency contracts might be considered spot contracts (typically a contract of one week or less) or forward contracts (typically a contract term over one week). A spot contract is entered into for purposes of hedging against foreign currency fluctuations relating to a specific portfolio transaction, such as the delay between a security transaction trade date and settlement date. Forward contracts are entered into for purposes of hedging portfolio holdings or concentrations of such holdings. The Developed Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF, International Volatility Wtd ETF, Emerging Market Volatility Wtd ETF and International High Div Volatility Wtd ETF enter into foreign exchange currency contracts solely for spot or forward hedging purposes, and not for speculative purposes (i.e., the Funds do not enter into such contracts solely for the purpose of earning foreign currency gains). Each foreign exchange currency contract is adjusted daily by the prevailing spot or forward rate of the underlying currency, and any appreciation or depreciation is recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the contract settlement date, at which time the Fund records realized gains or losses equal to the difference between the value of a contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. A Fund could be exposed to risk if a counterparty is unable to meet the terms of a foreign exchange currency contract or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. In addition, the use of foreign exchange currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. As of June 30, 2019, the Funds had no open forward foreign exchange currency contracts.

Futures Contracts:

The Funds may enter into contracts for the future delivery of securities or foreign currencies and futures contracts based on a specific security, class of securities, foreign currency or an index, and purchase or sell options on any such futures contracts. A futures contract on a securities index is an agreement obligating either party to pay, and entitling the other party to receive, while the contract is outstanding, cash payments based on the level of a specified securities index. No physical delivery of the underlying asset is made. A Fund may enter into futures contracts in an effort to hedge against market risks. The acquisition of put and call options on futures contracts will give the Fund the right (but not the obligation), for a specified price, to sell or to purchase the underlying futures contract, upon exercise of the option, at any time during the option period. Futures transactions involve brokerage costs and require the Fund to segregate assets to cover contracts that would require it to purchase securities or currencies. A good faith margin deposit, known as initial margin, of cash or government securities with a broker or custodian is required to initiate and maintain open positions in futures contracts. Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund based on the change in the market value of the position and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is closed out, at which time the gain or loss is realized. A Fund may lose the expected benefit of futures transactions if interest rates, exchange rates or securities prices change in an unanticipated manner. Such unanticipated changes may also result in lower overall performance than if the Fund had not entered into any futures transactions. In addition, the value of a Fund's futures positions may not prove to be perfectly or even highly correlated with the value of its portfolio securities or foreign currencies, limiting a Fund's ability to hedge effectively against interest rate, exchange rate

and/or market risk and giving rise to additional risks. There is no assurance of liquidity in the secondary market for purposes of closing out futures positions. The collateral held by the Funds is presented on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities under Deposit with broker for futures contracts.

As of June 30, 2019, the Funds entered into futures contracts primarily for the strategy of hedging or other purposes, including but not limited to, providing liquidity and equitizing cash.

Offsetting of Financial Assets and Derivatives Assets:

The Funds are subject to various Master Netting Arrangements, which govern the terms of certain transactions with select counterparties. The Master Netting Arrangements allow the Funds to close out and net total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default with respect to all the transactions governed under a single agreement with a counterparty. The Master Netting Arrangements also specify collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Under the Master Netting Arrangements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions (net of existing collateral already in place) governed under the relevant Master Netting Arrangement with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specified threshold depending on the counterparty and the type of Master Netting Arrangement.

The table below, as of June 30, 2019, discloses both gross information and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and instruments and transactions that are subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement as well as amounts related to collateral held at clearing brokers and counterparties.

All open derivative positions at year end are reflected in each respective Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The underlying face value of open derivative positions relative to each Fund's net assets at year end is generally representative of the notional amount of open positions to net assets throughout the year.

Investment Transactions and Related Income:

Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is determined on the basis 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 determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.

Withholding taxes on interest, dividends and gains as a result of certain investments in ADRs by the Funds have been provided for in accordance with each investment's applicable country's tax rules and rates.

Securities Lending:

The Trust has entered into a Master Securities Lending Agreement ("MSLA") with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank" or the "Agent"). Under the terms of the MSLA, the Funds may lend securities to certain broker-dealers and banks in exchange for collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non-U.S. securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls associated with increases in the valuation of the securities loaned are adjusted the next business day. The collateral can be received in the form of cash collateral and/or non-cash collateral. Non-cash collateral can include U.S. Government Securities, letters of credit and certificates of deposit. The cash collateral is invested in short-term instruments or cash equivalents, primarily open-end investment companies, as noted in the Funds' Schedules of Portfolio Investments. The Trust does not have effective control of the non-cash collateral and therefore it is not disclosed in the Funds'

Schedules of Portfolio Investments. During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the Funds any dividends or interest paid on such securities plus any fee negotiated between the parties to the lending agreement. The Funds also earn a return from the collateral. The Funds pay the Agent various fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral and fees based on the investment income received from securities lending activities. Securities lending income (net of these fees) is disclosed on the Statements of Operations. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Funds could experience a delay in recovering their securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them.

Securities lending transactions are entered into by a Fund under the MSLA, which permits the Fund, under certain circumstances such as an event of default, to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts receivable from the counterparty to create a net payment due to or from the Fund.

The following table is a summary of the Funds' securities lending transactions, which are subject to offset under the MSLA as of June 30, 2019. These transactions are accounted for as secured borrowings with an overnight and continuous contractual maturity for cash collateral, and greater than overnight and continuous contractual maturity for non-cash collateral.

Foreign Currency Translations:

The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities of a Fund denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the date of the transactions. The Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are disclosed as net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments and foreign currency translations on the Statements of Operations. Any realized gains or losses from these fluctuations are disclosed as net realized gains or losses from investment securities and foreign currency translations on the Statements of Operations.

Foreign Taxes:

The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes related to foreign income received (a portion of which may be reclaimable), capital gains on the sale of securities, and certain foreign currency transactions. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest.

Distributions to Shareholders:

Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid monthly for the Funds. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually from each Fund. The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital.

Federal Income Taxes:

It is the policy of each Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains

sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Funds have a tax year end of June 30.

Management of the Funds has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., all open tax years and the interim tax period since then). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.

Allocations:

Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to the Fund, while expenses which are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust, or jointly with an affiliated trust, are allocated among the respective funds in the Trust and/or affiliated trust based upon net assets or another appropriate basis.

Affiliated Securities Transactions:

Pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act, the Funds may engage in securities transactions with affiliated investment companies and advisory accounts managed by the Adviser and any applicable sub-adviser. Any such purchase or sale transaction must be effected without brokerage commission or other remuneration, except for customary transfer fees. The transaction must be effected at the current market price, which is either the security's last sale price on an exchange or, if there are no transactions in the security that day, at the average of the highest bid and lowest asked price. For the year ended June 30, 2019, the Funds did not engage in any Rule 17a-7 transactions under the 1940 Act.

3. Purchases and Sales of Securities:

Purchases and sales of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) and in-kind transactions associated with purchases and sales for the for the year ended June 30, 2019 were as follows:

5. Risks:

Each Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.

An investment in the Funds' shares represents an indirect investment in the securities owned by the Funds, some of which will be traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter markets. The value of the securities in which the Funds invest, like other market investments, may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. The value of the securities in which the Funds invest may affect the value of the Funds' shares. An investment in the Funds' shares at any point in time may be worth less than the original investment, even after taking into account the reinvestment of the Funds' distributions.

The Developed Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF, International Volatility Wtd ETF, Emerging Market Volatility Wtd ETF, International High Div Volatility Wtd ETF and Emerging Market High Div Volatility Wtd ETF invest in securities of foreign issuers in various countries. Investing on an international basis involves certain risks not involved in domestic investments including the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets, imposition of currency exchange controls or restrictions on the repatriation of foreign currency, confiscatory taxation, political or financial instability and diplomatic developments, which could affect the value of a Fund's investments in certain foreign countries. Governments of many countries have exercised and continue to exercise substantial influence over many aspects of the private sector through the ownership or control of many companies, including some of the largest in these countries. As a result, government actions in the future could have a significant effect on economic conditions which may adversely affect prices of certain portfolio securities. There is also generally less government supervision and regulation of stock exchanges, brokers and listed companies than in the U.S. Dividends or interest on, or proceeds from the sale of, foreign securities may be subject to foreign withholding taxes, and special U.S. tax considerations may apply. Moreover, foreign economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital re-investment, resource self-sufficiency and balance of payments position. The Schedule of Portfolio Investments includes information on each Fund's holdings, including industry and/or geographic composition, as relevant.

The Funds will be subject to credit risk with respect to the amount each expects to receive from counterparties for financial instruments entered into by the Funds. The Funds may be negatively impacted if a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties. The Funds may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding and the Funds may obtain only limited recovery or


210



Victory Portfolios II

  Notes to Financial Statements — continued
June 30, 2019
 

may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. The Funds typically enter into transactions with counterparties whose credit ratings are investment grade, as determined by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or, if unrated, judged by the Adviser to be of comparable quality.

6. Borrowing:

Line of Credit:

For the year ended June 30, 2019, the Victory Funds Complex participated in a short-term, demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex could borrow up to $250 million, of which $100 million was committed and $150 million was uncommitted. This agreement was in effect through July 26, 2019. Effective July 1, 2019, the current agreement was amended to include the USAA Mutual Funds Complex and has a new termination date of June 29, 2020. Under this amended agreement, the Victory Funds Complex and USAA Mutual Funds Complex, combined, may borrow up to $600 million, of which $300 million is committed and $300 million is uncommitted. $40 million of the Line of Credit is reserved for use by the Victory Floating Rate Fund, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with that Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the agreement is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs, including redemption requests that might otherwise require the untimely disposition of securities. With the agreement in affect for the year ended June 30, 2019, Citibank received an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $100 million for providing the Line of Credit. For the year ended June 30, 2019, Citibank earned approximately $150 thousand in commitment fees from the Victory Funds Complex. Effective July 1, 2019, Citibank receives an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $300 million for providing the Line of Credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex pays a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest (one month LIBOR plus one percent) on amounts borrowed, including the USAA Mutual Funds Complex, commencing July 1, 2019. Interest charged to the Funds during the period is presented on the Statement of Operations under line of credit fees.

The average loans for the days outstanding and average interest rate for each Fund during the year ended June 30, 2019 were as follows:

*  Under the current tax law, net investment losses realized after October 31 or December 31 of a Fund's fiscal year may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes.

**  The difference between the book-basis and tax-basis of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

As of the tax year ended June 30, 2019, the following Funds had net capital loss carryforwards ("CLCFs") not limited as a result of changes in Fund ownership during the year and in prior years as summarized in the tables below. CLCFs are applied as either short-term or long-term depending on the originating capital loss.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, the Funds realized the following net capital gains (losses) resulting from in-kind redemptions, in which shareholders exchanged Fund shares for securities held by the Fund rather than for cash. Because such gains (losses) are not taxable to the Fund, and are not distributed to shareholders, they have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains (losses) to paid-in capital.

8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurements" ("ASU 2018-13"). This update makes certain removals from, changes to and additions to existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 does not change fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. ASU 2018-13 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. As permitted, the Funds have early adopted ASU 2018-13 with the financial statements prepared as of June 30, 2019.

In August 2018, the SEC adopted amendments to certain financial statement disclosure requirements to conform them to GAAP for investment companies. These amendments made certain disclosure requirements effective under Regulation S-X. The Funds' adoption of these amendments, effective with the financial statements prepared as of June 30, 2019 had no effect on the Funds' net assets or results of operations. As a result of adopting these amendments, the distributions to shareholders in the June 30, 2018 Statements of Changes in Net Assets presented herein have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation, which includes all distributions to each class of shareholders, other than tax basis return of capital distributions, in one line item per share class. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, and accumulated net investment income (loss) in the Funds for the year ended June 30, 2018 were as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of Victory Portfolios II

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, of VictoryShares US 500 Volatility Wtd ETF, VictoryShares US Small Cap Volatility Wtd ETF, VictoryShares International Volatility Wtd ETF, VictoryShares Emerging Market Volatility Wtd ETF, VictoryShares US Large Cap High Div Volatility Wtd ETF, VictoryShares US Small Cap High Div Volatility Wtd ETF, VictoryShares International High Div Volatility Wtd ETF, VictoryShares Emerging Market High Div Volatility Wtd ETF, VictoryShares Dividend Accelerator ETF, VictoryShares US Multi-Factor Minimum Volatility ETF, VictoryShares US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF, VictoryShares US EQ Income Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF, VictoryShares US Discovery Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF, and VictoryShares Developed Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF (the "Funds"), each a series of Victory Portfolios II, as of June 30, 2019, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years or periods then ended, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the four years or periods then ended (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of June 30, 2019, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for the periods indicated above, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Funds' financial highlights for the period ended June 30, 2015, were audited by other auditors whose report dated August 28, 2015, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds' financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information

Proxy Voting:

Information regarding the policies and procedures that each Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling 800-539-3863. The information is also included in the Funds' Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Information relating to how the Funds voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve months ended June 30 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments:

The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. Prior to the implementation of Form N-PORT, the Trust filed a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. Forms N-PORT and Forms N-Q are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Expense Examples

As a shareholder of the Funds, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019.

The Actual Expense figures in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

The Hypothetical Expense figures in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

3.                                      Compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;

 

4.                                      The prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code; and

 

5.                                      Accountability for adherence to the Code.

 

Each Covered Officer should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest.

 

II.                                   Covered Officers Should Handle Ethically Any Actual or Apparent Conflicts of Interest

 

A.                                    Overview.  A “conflict of interest” occurs when a Covered Officer’s private interest interferes with the interests of, or his or her service to, the Trusts.  For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of his family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position with the Trusts.

 

Certain conflicts of interest that could arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and the Trusts already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“Investment Company Act”) and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Investment Advisers Act”).  For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in

 


 

certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the Trusts because of their status as “affiliated persons” of the Trusts.  The Trusts’ and their investment adviser’s compliance programs and procedures are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of these provisions.  This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace these programs and procedures, and such conflicts fall outside of the parameters of this Code.

 

Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts may arise or result from the contractual relationship between the Trusts and the investment adviser and the administrator, whose officers or employees also serve as Covered Officers.  As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the Trusts or for the adviser or the administrator, or for both), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on the adviser, the administrator and the Trusts.  The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the adviser, the administrator and the Trusts and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Trusts.  Thus, if performed in conformity with the provisions of the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act, such activities will be deemed to have been handled ethically.  In addition, it is recognized by each Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) that the Covered Officers may also be officers or employees of one or more other investment companies covered by this or other codes.

 

Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions in the Investment Company Act or the Investment Advisers Act.  Section C describes the types of conflicts of interest that are covered under this Code, but Covered Officers should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive.  The overarching principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of the Company.

 

B.                                    Obligations of Covered Officers.  Each Covered Officer must:

 

1.                                      Not use his personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by the Trusts whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Trusts;

 

2.                                      Not cause the Trusts to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than the benefit of the Trusts;

 

3.                                      Report at least annually outside business affiliations or other relationships (e.g., officer, director, governor, trustee, part-time employment) other than his or her relationship to the Trusts, the investment adviser and the administrator.

 

C.                                    Conflicts of interest.  When a Covered Person becomes aware of a situation that could involve a conflict of interest, or that could reasonably be considered an

 

2


 

appearance of a conflict of interest, the Covered Person should disclose this matter to the Chief Compliance Officer.  For purposes of this Code, the Chief Compliance Officer shall be the Chief Compliance Officer of Victory Capital Management Inc. (“VCM”).  Examples of these include:

 

1.                                      Service as a director on the board of any public or private company;

 

2.                                      The receipt, as an officer of the Trusts, of any gift in excess of $100;

 

3.                                      The receipt of any entertainment from any company with which the Trusts have current or prospective business dealings, unless such entertainment is business-related, reasonable in cost, appropriate as to time and place, and not so frequent as to raise any question of impropriety;

 

4.                                      Any ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of the Trusts’ service providers, other than their investment adviser, principal underwriter, administrator or any affiliated person thereof;

 

5.                                      A direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by the Trusts for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from the Covered Officer’s employment, such as compensation or equity ownership.

 

D.                                    Conflicts of interest not specifically enumerated.  It is impractical to attempt to list in this Code all possible situations that could result in a conflict of interest. If a proposed transaction, interest, personal activity, or investment raises any concerns, questions or doubts, a Covered Officer should consult with the Chief Compliance Officer before engaging in such transaction or investment or pursuing such interest or activity. The Chief Compliance Officer shall review the facts and circumstances of the actual or potential conflict of interest in accordance with Section IV of these Procedures.

 

III.                              Disclosure and Compliance

 

A.                                    Each Covered Officer should familiarize himself or herself with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Trusts.

 

B.                                    Each Covered Officer should not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Trusts to others, whether within or outside the Trusts, including to the Trusts’ Trustees and auditors, and to governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations.

 

C.                                    Each Covered Officer should, to the extent appropriate within his or her area of responsibility, consult with other officers and employees of the Trusts, the adviser and the administrator with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and

 

3


 

understandable disclosure in the reports and documents the Trusts file with, or submit to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Trusts.

 

D.                                    It is the responsibility of each Covered Officer to promote compliance with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations.

 

IV.                               Reporting and Accountability

 

A.                                    Responsibilities and conduct.  Each Covered Officer must:

 

1.                                      Upon adoption of the Code (or thereafter as applicable, upon becoming a Covered Officer), affirm in writing to the appropriate Board that he or she has received, read, and understands the Code;

 

2.                                      Annually thereafter affirm to the appropriate Board that he or she has complied with the requirements of the Code;

 

3.                                      Not retaliate against any other Covered Officer or any employee of the Trusts or their affiliated persons for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith; and

 

4.                                      Notify the Chief Compliance Officer promptly if he or she knows of any violation of this Code.  Failure to do so is itself a violation of this Code.

 

B.                                    Chief Compliance Officer.  The Chief Compliance Officer is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation.  Based on its review, the Chief Compliance Officer shall advise the Covered Officer that the proposed transaction, investment, interest or activity: (i) would not violate this Code; (ii) would not violate this Code only if conducted in a particular manner and/or subject to certain conditions or safeguards; or (iii) would violate the Code and is, therefore, prohibited.

 

C.                                    Waivers.  A Covered Officer may request a waiver from a provision of this Code if there is a reasonable likelihood that a contemplated action would not involve an actual conflict of interest that this Code is designed to prevent.  The Audit and Risk Oversight Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) shall review and act upon any request for a waiver from any provision of the Code.  The Committee shall disclose any waiver from a provision of the Code to the extent required by SEC rules or any other policy of the Trusts or VCM.

 

D.                                    Enforcing the Code of Conduct.  The Trusts will adhere to the following procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code:

 

1.                                      The Chief Compliance Officer will take all appropriate action to investigate any potential violations reported to him or her;

 

4


 

2.                                      If, after such investigation, the Chief Compliance Officer believes that no violation has occurred, no further action is required;

 

3.                                      Any matter that the Chief Compliance Officer believes is a violation shall be reported to the Committee; and

 

4.                                      If the Committee concurs that a violation has occurred, it will inform the Board and make a recommendation of appropriate courses of action.  The Board will consider and take appropriate action regarding the violation.  The Board may among other things, notify VCM, the Trust’s administrator, or their Boards of Directors; recommend the assessment of a monetary penalty against the Covered Person; issue a formal written reprimand to, or recommend the dismissal of, the Covered Officer; require additional training by the violator; or recommend modifications to the Trust’s policies and procedures.

 

V.                                    Other Policies and Procedures

 

This Code shall be the sole code of conduct adopted by the Trusts for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies relating to that section.  Insofar as other policies or procedures of the Trusts, the Trusts’ investment adviser, principal underwriter, or other service providers govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Officers who are subject to this Code, they are superseded by this Code to the extent that they overlap or conflict with the provisions of this Code.  The Codes of Ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act, and any insider trading policies are separate policies of the Trusts, VCM, any sub-adviser or the principal underwriter that apply to the Covered Officers and others, and are not part of this Code.

 

VI.                               Amendments

 

Any amendments to this Code, other than amendments to Exhibit A, must be approved or ratified by a majority vote of the Board, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act) (the “Independent Trustees”).  Any changes to this Code will, to the extent required, will be disclosed as provided by SEC rules.

 

VII.                          Confidentiality

 

All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly.  Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than officers and Trustees of the Trust, the Trusts’ investment adviser, administrator or sub-administrator, counsel to the Trusts or counsel to the Independent Trustees.
