Actively managed U.S. bond fund

The PSRAX share class costs 1.07% a year. Over the 12 months to May 2026, PSRAX returned 7.3%, with dividends reinvested. In 2026 Q2 it added 243 new positions and exited 127.
The Victory Pioneer Strategic Income Fund (the Fund) seeks a high level of current income.
The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in debt securities across three segments—below-investment-grade debt, investment-grade U.S. debt, and investment-grade non-U.S. debt—with allocations determined by the adviser's outlook on economic, interest rate, and political trends. The adviser selects individual securities based on yield, liquidity, credit quality, and diversification across sectors and issuers. Up to 70% of assets may be in below-investment-grade securities, and the fund may hold substantial positions in mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, including those with balloon or negative amortization features. Because the adviser's allocation among debt segments and individual security selections drive returns, performance will depend on the accuracy of those judgments.

What the fund is made of
Percentages are of fund net assets. Rounding, liabilities and short positions can make totals differ from 100%.
| Bonds | 66.67% |
| Securitized | 32.19% |
| Stocks | 0.91% |
| Cash & short-term | 0.82% |
| 2 smaller | 1.24% |
| Derivatives | -0.47% |
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.

How it has done
PSRAX share class · total returns with dividends reinvested
Volatility over the last 12 months: 3.80%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.
Jun 2026 has been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so it is not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
The 5 share classes hold the same portfolio
| Share class | Expense ratio | 1 year | 3 years | 5 years | Worst fall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.07% | +7.30% | — | — | — | |
| 0.59% | +7.75% | — | — | — | |
| 0.69% | +7.66% | — | — | — | |
| 1.34% | +7.04% | — | — | — | |
| 1.69% | +6.64% | — | — | — |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 1.10pp spread over 1 year is the cost difference between them — roughly 1.10pp a year — not a difference in what they own.

Net is what a holder pays after the adviser's contractual waiver; gross is before it. A waiver can expire.
Turnover is how much of the portfolio was replaced in a year.
Classified from what the fund holds, not from its name · 2026 Q2. The summary is a paraphrase of the prospectus; the objective is verbatim.

Debt profile
What this fund holds — value-weighted across its bond and securitized long positions · as of 2026-06-30
Share of the fund's debt by how its coupon behaves — the fact that decides whether a rate move reaches this portfolio at all.
| Fixed rate | 83.6% |
| Floating rate | 12.8% |
| Zero-coupon or unclassified | 3.6% |
Share of the fund's debt value in each maturity band, shortest first.
| <1y | 1.6% |
| 1-3y | 3.4% |
| 3-5y | 17.7% |
| 5-10y | 32.0% |
| 10y+ | 45.3% |
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 nearly as much.
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.
| Interest rates | 60% |
| Credit spreads | 40% |
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.
Share of the fund's spread duration carried by each credit tier.
| Investment grade | +2.99 yr |
| High yield | +0.96 yr |
Share of duration at each point, shortest first. A positive figure loses value when spreads widen; a negative one offsets — a credit hedge.
| 1 yr | 0.69 yr | 12% |
| 5 yr | 1.79 yr | 30% |
| 10 yr | 2.31 yr | 39% |
| 30 yr | 1.10 yr | 19% |
3 mo is NEGATIVE (-0.02 yr) — a deliberate hedge at that point on the curve, so it is not part of the band above.
| 3 mo | 0.01 yr | 0% |
| 1 yr | 0.39 yr | 10% |
| 5 yr | 1.43 yr | 36% |
| 10 yr | 1.63 yr | 41% |
| 30 yr | 0.49 yr | 12% |
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.

Duration contribution in years, summing to the fund's 5.88 yr.
This is where the fund's rate exposure sits, not its currency risk — most international bond funds hedge the currency back to dollars, and the size of those hedges is not in the filing. Tenors are also summed across curves, so a 5-year JPY point and a 5-year USD point are added together.
