Fund profile

As filed in the prospectus · 2025 Q3

The Victory Core Plus Intermediate Bond Fund (the Fund) seeks high current income without undue risk to principal.

Strategy · summarised

The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in debt securities with a dollar-weighted average maturity of three to ten years, drawn from government, municipal, mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and corporate sources, with up to 65% in corporate bonds and up to 10% in below-investment-grade securities. It may also hold up to 20% in foreign debt, including emerging markets. Because the fund's selection relies on manager discretion across a broad range of eligible securities rather than a defined index, its composition and performance will depend on those choices.

Net is what a holder pays after the adviser's contractual waiver; gross is before it. A waiver can expire.

The outer band is exposure held short — written against the portfolio rather than part of it, which is why it sits outside the ring and why the two are never netted into one figure.

Derivatives are shown at market value, not notional exposure.

These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 5.66pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 1.13pp a year — not a difference in what they own.

These three overlap — one holding can be in arrears and paying in kind at once — so they are shown separately and never summed.

Risk profile

Interest-rate and credit-spread sensitivity, both in years · as of 2026Q2

Most of this fund’s sensitivity is to interest rates, with credit spreads carrying about half as much.

Interest-rate duration
5.57 yr
approx. move per 100bp
Credit-spread duration
2.91 yr
approx. move per 100bp
If rates and spreads both rise 100bp

Where the loss would come from. The two shocks are the same size, so this is the balance of the fund's two sensitivities rather than a bet on one moving more.

of value
Interest rates66%
Credit spreads34%

Filers report the impact of a 0.01% move only, so the total is our own scaling of that one number and overstates the loss on most bonds — read it as approximate, never as precise. The two sensitivities overlap rather than add up: they measure the same positions against different shocks, which is why the durations above are shown side by side and never summed.

The two bands measure the same positions against different shocks and do not add — a Treasury carries rate duration and no spread duration, a floating-rate credit the reverse. Rate tenors are also summed across every currency the fund discloses.
