Fund profile

As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q2

The Victory Tax Exempt Intermediate-Term Fund (the Fund) provides investors with interest income that is exempt from federal income tax.

Strategy · summarised

The fund invests primarily in investment-grade tax-exempt securities, generally holding positions until maturity to keep turnover low. At least 80% of annual net investment income will be tax-exempt and excludable from the federal alternative minimum tax. The fund's effective duration typically stays within two years of its benchmark. Because security selection depends on balancing tax-exempt income, credit risk, and price volatility, performance will vary with the adviser's assessment of those factors.

Return profile

Chart:

Total return as filed — price change plus distributions reinvested · trailing figures to Apr 2026

Share class1-year3-year5-yearVolWorst fall
+6.12%+11.79%+5.99%3.35%-4.07%
+5.88%+11.04%+4.75%3.36%-4.14%
+6.17%+12.02%+6.24%3.29%-4.06%

These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 1.49pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 0.30pp a year — not a difference in what they own.

Cumulative return· Jun 2023 – Apr 2026

May 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.

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.

Credit-spread duration

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 rates52%
Credit spreads48%

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.
