PIONEER FUNDS

APPROVAL OF AUDIT, AUDIT-RELATED, TAX AND OTHER SERVICES

PROVIDED BY THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR

SECTION I - POLICY PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY

The Pioneer Funds recognize the importance of maintaining the independence of their outside auditors. Maintaining independence is a shared responsibility involving Amundi Asset Management US, Inc., the audit committee and the independent auditors.

The Funds recognize that a Fund's independent auditors: 1) possess knowledge of the Funds, 2) are able to incorporate certain services into the scope of the audit, thereby avoiding redundant work, cost and disruption of Fund personnel and processes, and 3) have expertise that has value to the Funds. As a result, there are situations where it is desirable to use the Fund's independent auditors for services in addition to the annual audit and where the potential for conflicts of interests are minimal. Consequently, this policy, which is intended to comply with Rule 210.2-01(C)(7), sets forth guidelines and procedures to be followed by the Funds when retaining the independent audit firm to perform audit, audit-related tax and other services under those circumstances, while also maintaining independence.

------

Approval of a service in accordance with this policy for a Fund shall also constitute approval for any other Fund whose pre-approval is required pursuant to Rule 210.2-01(c)(7)(ii).

In addition to the procedures set forth in this policy, any non-audit services that may be provided consistently with Rule 210.2-01 may be approved by the Audit Committee itself and any pre-approval that may be waived in accordance with Rule 210.2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) is hereby waived.

Selection of a Fund's independent auditors and their compensation shall be determined by the Audit Committee and shall not be subject to this policy.

### Notes to Financial Statements \| 3/31/25
(unaudited)

1. Organization and Signiﬁcant Accounting Policies

Victory Pioneer Strategic Income Fund (the "Fund") is one of 29 portfolios comprising Victory Portfolios IV (the "Trust"), a Delaware statutory trust. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund, which commenced operations on April 1, 2025, is the successor to Pioneer Strategic Income Fund (the "Predecessor Fund") and, accordingly, the Predecessor Fund's performance and financial history have become the performance and financial history of the Fund. The Predecessor Fund transferred all of the net assets of Class A, Class C, Class K, Class R and Class Y shares in exchange for the Fund's Class A, Class C, Class R6, Class R and Class Y shares, respectively, on April 1, 2025 pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization (the "Reorganization") which was approved by the shareholders of the Predecessor Fund on March 27, 2025. Accordingly, the Reorganization, which was a tax-free exchange, had no effect on the Fund's operations. The investment objective of the Fund is to produce a high level of current income.

The Fund offers ﬁve classes of shares designated as Class A, Class C, Class R6, Class R and Class Y shares. Each class of shares represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments of the Fund and has identical rights (based on relative net asset values) to assets and liquidation proceeds. Share classes can bear different rates of class-speciﬁc fees and expenses, such as transfer agent and distribution fees. Differences in class-speciﬁc fees and expenses will result in differences in net investment income and, therefore, the payment of different dividends from net investment income earned by each class. The Second Amended and Restated Trust Instrument of the Trust gives the Board of Trustees the ﬂexibility to specify either per-share voting or dollar-weighted voting when submitting matters for shareholder approval. Under per-share voting, each share of a class of the Fund is entitled to one vote. Under dollar-weighted voting, a shareholder's voting power is determined not by the number of shares owned, but by the dollar value of the shares on the record date. Each share class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters affecting only that class, including with respect to the distribution plan for that class. There is no distribution plan for Class R6 or Class Y shares.

During the periods covered by these financial statements, Amundi Asset Management US, Inc., an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Amundi and Amundi's wholly owned subsidiary, Amundi USA, Inc., served as the Fund's investment adviser ("Amundi US"). Effective April 1, 2025, Victory

Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital" or the "Adviser") serves as the Fund's investment adviser. See Note 10. During the periods covered by these financial statements, Amundi Distributor US, Inc., an affiliate of Amundi US, served as the Fund's distributor (the "Distributor").

The Fund is required to comply with Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, which governs the use of derivatives by registered investment companies. Rule 18f-4 permits funds to enter into derivatives transactions (as defined in Rule 18f-4) and certain other transactions notwithstanding the restrictions on the issuance of "senior securities" under Section 18 of the 1940 Act. In accordance with Rule 18f-4, the Fund has established and maintains a comprehensive derivatives risk management program, has appointed a derivatives risk manager and complies with a relative or absolute limit on fund leverage risk calculated based on value-at-risk ("VaR").

The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07) during the period. The Fund's adoption of the new standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Fund's financial position or results of operations. The Fund's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has been identified as the Chief Operations Decision Maker (CODM) who assesses performance and allocates resources with respect to the Fund. The Fund's operations constitute a single operating segment and therefore, a single reportable segment, because the Fund has a single investment strategy as disclosed in its prospectus, against which the CODM manages the business activities using information of the Fund as a whole, and assesses performance of the Fund. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is the same as that presented within the Fund's financial statements.

The Fund is an investment company and follows investment company accounting and reporting guidance under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP"). U.S. GAAP requires the management of the Fund to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the ﬁnancial statements, and the reported amounts of income, expenses and gain or loss on investments during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The following is a summary of signiﬁcant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its ﬁnancial statements:

| **A.** | **Security Valuation** |
|  | The net asset value of the Fund is computed once daily, on each day the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open, as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE. |
|  | Fixed income securities are valued by using prices supplied by independent pricing services, which consider such factors as market prices, market events, quotations from one or more brokers, Treasury spreads, yields, maturities and ratings, or may use a pricing matrix or other fair value methods or techniques to provide an estimated value of the security or instrument. A pricing matrix is a means of valuing a debt security on the basis of current market prices for other debt securities, historical trading patterns in the market for fixed income securities and/or other factors. Non-U.S. debt securities that are listed on an exchange will be valued at the bid price obtained from an independent third party pricing service. When independent third party pricing services are unable to supply prices, or when prices or market quotations are considered to be unreliable, the value of that security may be determined using quotations from one or more broker-dealers. |
|  | Loan interests are valued at the mean between the last available bid and asked prices from one or more brokers or dealers as obtained from Loan Pricing Corporation, an independent third party pricing service. If price information is not available from Loan Pricing Corporation, or if the price information is deemed to be unreliable, price information will be obtained from an alternative loan interest pricing service. If no reliable price quotes are available from either the primary or alternative pricing service, broker quotes will be solicited. |
|  | Event-linked bonds are valued at the bid price obtained from an independent third party pricing service. Other insurance-linked securities (including reinsurance sidecars, collateralized reinsurance and industry loss warranties) may be valued at the bid price obtained from an independent pricing service, or through a third party using a pricing matrix, insurance industry valuation models, or other fair value methods or techniques to provide an estimated value of the instrument. |
|  | Equity securities that have traded on an exchange are valued by using the last sale price on the principal exchange where they are traded. Equity securities that have not traded on the date of valuation, or securities for which sale prices are not available, generally are valued using the mean between the last bid and asked prices or, if both last bid and asked prices are not available, at the last quoted bid price. Last sale and bid and asked prices are provided by independent third party pricing services. In the case of equity securities not traded on an exchange, |

| prices are typically determined by independent third party pricing services using a variety of techniques and methods. |
| The value of foreign securities is translated into U.S. dollars based on foreign currency exchange rate quotations supplied by a third party pricing source. Trading in non-U.S. equity securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of such times. The Adviser may use a fair value model developed by an independent pricing service to value non-U.S. equity securities. |
| Options contracts are generally valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices on the principal exchange where they are traded. Over-the-counter ("OTC") options and options on swaps ("swaptions") are valued using prices supplied by independent pricing services, which consider such factors as market prices, market events, quotations from one or more brokers, Treasury spreads, yields, maturities and ratings, or may use a pricing matrix or other fair value methods or techniques to provide an estimated value of the security or instrument. |
| Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued daily using the foreign exchange rate or, for longer term forward contract positions, the spot currency rate and the forward points on a daily basis, in each case provided by a third party pricing service. Contracts whose forward settlement date falls between two quoted days are valued by interpolation. |
| Futures contracts are generally valued at the closing settlement price established by the exchange on which they are traded. |
| Swap contracts, including interest rate swaps, caps and floors (other than centrally cleared swap contracts), are valued at the dealer quotations obtained from reputable International Swap Dealers Association members. Centrally cleared swaps are valued at the daily settlement price provided by the central clearing counterparty. |
| Shares of open-end registered investment companies (including money market mutual funds) are valued at such funds' net asset value. |
| Securities or loan interests for which independent pricing services or broker-dealers are unable to supply prices or for which market prices and/or quotations are not readily available or are considered to be unreliable are valued by a fair valuation team comprised of certain personnel of the Adviser. The Adviser is designated as the valuation designee for the Fund pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The |

|:---|:---|
|  | Adviser's fair valuation team is responsible for monitoring developments that may impact fair valued securities. |
|  | Inputs used when applying fair value methods to value a security may include credit ratings, the financial condition of the company, current market conditions and comparable securities. The Adviser may use fair value methods if it is determined that a significant event has occurred after the close of the exchange or market on which the security trades and prior to the determination of the Fund's net asset value. Examples of a significant event might include political or economic news, corporate restructurings, natural disasters, terrorist activity or trading halts. Thus, the valuation of the Fund's securities may differ significantly from exchange prices, and such differences could be material. |
|  | Repurchase agreements are valued at par. Cash may include overnight time deposits at approved financial institutions. |
| **B.** | **Investment Income and Transactions** |
|  | Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are recorded as soon as the Fund becomes aware of the ex-dividend data in the exercise of reasonable diligence. |
|  | Interest income, including interest on income-bearing cash accounts, is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend and interest income are reported net of unrecoverable foreign taxes withheld at the applicable country rates and net of income accrued on defaulted securities. |
|  | Interest and dividend income payable by delivery of additional shares is reclassified as PIK (payment-in-kind) income upon receipt and is included in interest and dividend income, respectively. |
|  | Principal amounts of mortgage-backed securities are adjusted for monthly paydowns. Premiums and discounts related to certain mortgage-backed securities are amortized or accreted in proportion to the monthly paydowns. All discounts/premiums on purchase prices of debt securities are accreted/amortized for financial reporting purposes over the life of the respective securities, and such accretion/amortization is included in interest income. |
|  | Security transactions are recorded as of trade date. Gains and losses on sales of investments are calculated on the identified cost method for both financial reporting and federal income tax purposes. |

| **C.** | **Foreign Currency Translation** |
|  | The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates. |
|  | Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions, if any, represent, among other things, the net realized gains and losses on foreign currency exchange contracts, disposition of foreign currencies and the difference between the amount of income accrued and the U.S. dollars actually received. Further, the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments are not segregated on the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in the market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. |
| **D.** | **Federal Income Taxes** |
|  | It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net taxable income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. As of March 31, 2025, the Fund did not accrue any interest or penalties with respect to uncertain tax positions, which, if applicable, would be recorded as an income tax expense on the Statement of Operations. Tax returns filed within the prior three years remain subject to examination by federal and state tax authorities. |
|  | In determining the daily net asset value, the Fund estimates the reserve for such taxes, if any, associated with investments in certain countries. The estimated reserve for the capital gains is based on the net unrealized appreciation on certain portfolio securities, the holding period of such securities and the related tax rates, tax loss carryforward (if applicable) and other such factors. As of March 31, 2025, the Fund had accrued $137,886 in reserve for repatriation taxes related to capital gains. |
|  | The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Distributions in excess of net investment income or net realized gains are temporary over distributions for financial statement purposes resulting from differences in the recognition or classification of income or distributions for financial statement and tax purposes. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character, but are not adjusted for temporary differences. |

| A portion of the dividend income recorded by the Fund is from distributions by publicly traded real estate investment trusts ("REITs"), and such distributions for tax purposes may also consist of capital gains and return of capital. The actual return of capital and capital gains portions of such distributions will be determined by formal notifications from the REITs subsequent to the calendar year-end. Distributions received from the REITs that are determined to be a return of capital are recorded by the Fund as a reduction of the cost basis of the securities held and those determined to be capital gain are reflected as such on the Statement of Operations. |
| The tax character of current year distributions payable will be determined at the end of the current taxable year. The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended September 30, 2024 was as follows: |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;Undistributed ordinary income | $25449397 |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;Other book/tax temporary differences | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2745680) |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Total** | **$(433248240)** |

---

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized depreciation is attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains on investments in passive foreign investment companies, the book/tax differences in the adjustments relating to insurance-linked securities, the tax treatment of premium and amortization, and the accrual of income on securities in default.

| **F.** | **Class Allocations** |
|  | Income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are calculated at the Fund level and allocated daily to each class of shares based on its respective percentage of adjusted net assets at the beginning of the day. |
|  | Distribution fees are calculated based on the average daily net asset value attributable to Class A, Class C and Class R shares of the Fund, respectively (see Note 5). Class K and Class Y shares of the Predecessor Fund did not pay distribution fees. All expenses and fees paid to the Fund's transfer agent for its services are allocated among the classes of shares based on the number of accounts in each class and the ratable allocation of related out-of-pocket expenses (see Note 4). |
|  | The Fund declares as daily dividends substantially all of its net investment income. All dividends are paid on a monthly basis. Short-term capital gain distributions, if any, may be declared with the daily dividends. Distributions to shareholders are recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Distributions paid by the Fund with respect to each class of shares are calculated in the same manner and at the same time, except that net investment income dividends to Class A, Class C, Class R6, Class R and Class Y shares can reflect different transfer agent and distribution expense rates. |
| **G.** | **Risks** |
|  | The value of securities held by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic, political or regulatory conditions, recessions, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, inflation, changes in interest rates, armed conflict such as between Russia and Ukraine or in the Middle East, sanctions against Russia, other nations or individuals or companies and possible countermeasures, lack of liquidity in the bond markets or adverse investor sentiment. In the past several years, financial markets have experienced increased volatility, depressed valuations, decreased liquidity and heightened uncertainty. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread. Inflation and interest rates may increase. These circumstances could adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Fund's investments and negatively impact the Fund's performance. |
|  | Some sectors of the economy and individual issuers have experienced or may experience particularly large losses. Periods of extreme volatility in the financial markets, reduced liquidity of many instruments, increased government debt, inflation, and disruptions to supply chains, consumer |

| demand and employee availability, may continue for some time. Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Russian securities lost all, or nearly all, their market value. Other securities or markets could be similarly affected by past or future political, geopolitical or other events or conditions. |
| Governments and central banks, including the U.S. Federal Reserve, have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. These actions have resulted in significant expansion of public debt, including in the U.S. The consequences of high public debt, including its future impact on the economy and securities markets, may not be known for some time. |
| The U.S. and other countries are periodically involved in disputes over trade and other matters, which may result in tariffs, investment restrictions and adverse impacts on affected companies and securities. For example, the U.S. has imposed tariffs and other trade barriers on Chinese exports, has restricted sales of certain categories of goods to China, and has established barriers to investments in China. Trade disputes may adversely affect the economies of the U.S. and its trading partners, as well as companies directly or indirectly affected and financial markets generally. If the political climate between the U.S. and China does not improve or continues to deteriorate, if China enters into military conflict with Taiwan, the Philippines or another neighbor, or if other geopolitical conflicts develop or get worse, economies, markets and individual securities may be severely affected both regionally and globally, and the value of the Fund's assets may go down. |
| At times, the Fund's investments may represent industries or industry sectors that are interrelated or have common risks, making the Fund more susceptible to any economic, political, or regulatory developments or other risks affecting those industries and sectors. |
| The Fund may invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities. The value of mortgage-related and asset-backed securities will be influenced by factors affecting the assets underlying such securities. As a result, during periods of declining asset value, difficult or frozen credit markets, swings in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. Mortgage-backed securities tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rate than other types of debt securities. These securities are also subject to prepayment and extension risks. Some of these securities may receive little or no collateral protection from the underlying assets and are thus subject to the risk of default. The risk of such defaults is |

| generally higher in the case of mortgage-backed investments offered by non-governmental issuers and those that include so-called "sub-prime" mortgages. The structure of some of these securities may be complex and there may be less available information than for other types of debt securities. Upon the occurrence of certain triggering events or defaults, the Fund may become the holder of underlying assets at a time when those assets may be difficult to sell or may be sold only at a loss. |
| The Fund may invest in credit risk transfer securities. Credit risk transfer securities are unguaranteed and unsecured debt securities issued by government sponsored enterprises and therefore are not directly linked to or backed by the underlying mortgage loans. As a result, in the event that a government sponsored enterprise fails to pay principal or interest on its credit risk transfer securities or goes through a bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, holders of such credit risk transfer securities have no direct recourse to the underlying mortgage loans and will generally receive recovery on par with other unsecured note holders in such a scenario. The risks associated with an investment in credit risk transfer securities are different than the risks associated with an investment in mortgage-backed securities issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, or other government sponsored enterprise or issued by a private issuer, because some or all of the mortgage default or credit risk associated with the underlying mortgage loans is transferred to investors. As a result, investors in these securities could lose some or all of their investment in these securities if the underlying mortgage loans default. |
| The Fund invests in below-investment-grade (high-yield) debt securities and preferred stocks. Some of these high-yield securities may be convertible into equity securities of the issuer. Debt securities rated below-investment-grade are commonly referred to as "junk bonds" and are considered speculative with respect to the issuer's capacity to pay interest and repay principal. These securities involve greater risk of loss, are subject to greater price volatility, and may be less liquid and more difficult to value, especially during periods of economic uncertainty or change, than higher rated debt securities. |
| The market prices of the Fund's fixed income securities may fluctuate significantly when interest rates change. The value of your investment will generally go down when interest rates rise. A rise in rates tends to have a greater impact on the prices of longer term or duration securities. For example, if interest rates increase by 1%, the value of a Fund's portfolio with a portfolio duration of ten years would be expected to decrease by 10%, all other things being equal. A general rise in interest rates could adversely affect the price and liquidity of fixed income |

| securities. The maturity of a security may be significantly longer than its effective duration. A security's maturity and other features may be more relevant than its effective duration in determining the security's sensitivity to other factors affecting the issuer or markets generally, such as changes in credit quality or in the yield premium that the market may establish for certain types of securities (sometimes called "credit spread"). In general, the longer its maturity the more a security may be susceptible to these factors. When the credit spread for a fixed income security goes up, or "widens", the value of the security will generally go down. |
| If an issuer or guarantor of a security held by the Fund or a counterparty to a financial contract with the Fund defaults on its obligation to pay principal and/or interest, has its credit rating downgraded or is perceived to be less creditworthy, or the credit quality or value of any underlying assets declines, the value of your investment will typically decline. Changes in actual or perceived creditworthiness may occur quickly. The Fund could be delayed or hindered in its enforcement of rights against an issuer, guarantor or counterparty. |
| The Fund's investments in foreign markets and countries with limited developing markets may subject the Fund to a greater degree of risk than investments in a developed market. These risks include disruptive political or economic conditions, military conflicts and sanctions, terrorism, sustained economic downturns, financial instability, less liquid trading markets, extreme price volatility, currency risks, reduction of government or central bank support, inadequate accounting standards, tariffs, tax disputes or other tax burdens, nationalization or expropriation of assets and the imposition of adverse governmental laws, arbitrary application of laws and regulations or lack of rule of law and investment and repatriation restrictions. Lack of information and less market regulation also may affect the value of these securities. Withholding and other non-U.S. taxes may decrease the Fund's return. Non-U.S. issuers may be located in parts of the world that have historically been prone to natural disasters. Investing in depositary receipts is subject to many of the same risks as investing directly in non-U.S. issuers. Depositary receipts may involve higher expenses and may trade at a discount (or premium) to the underlying security. |
| Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. In response to the military action by Russia, various countries, including the U.S., the United Kingdom, and European Union issued broad-ranging economic sanctions against Russia and Belarus and certain companies and individuals. Since then, Russian securities lost all, or nearly all, their market value, and many other issuers, securities and markets have |

| been adversely affected. The United States and other countries may impose sanctions on other countries, companies and individuals in light of Russia's military invasion. The extent and duration of the military action or future escalation of such hostilities, the extent and impact of existing and future sanctions, market disruptions and volatility, and the result of any diplomatic negotiations cannot be predicted. These and any related events could have a significant impact on the value and liquidity of certain Fund investments, on Fund performance and the value of an investment in the Fund, particularly with respect to securities and commodities, such as oil, natural gas and food commodities, as well as other sectors with exposure to Russian issuers or issuers in other countries affected by the invasion, and are likely to have collateral impacts on market sectors globally. |
| The Fund's investments, payment obligations and financing terms may be based on floating rates, such as LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) or SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate). ICE Benchmark Administration, the administrator of LIBOR, has ceased publication of most LIBOR settings on a representative basis. Actions by regulators have resulted in the establishment of alternative reference rates to LIBOR in most major currencies. In the U.S., a common benchmark replacement is based on the SOFR published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, including certain spread adjustments and benchmark replacement conforming changes, although other benchmark replacements (without or without spread adjustments) may be used in certain transactions. The impact of the transition from LIBOR on the Fund's transactions and financial markets generally cannot yet be determined. The transition away from LIBOR may lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets for instruments that have relied on LIBOR and may adversely affect the Fund's performance. |
| With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet to conduct business, the Fund is susceptible to operational, information security and related risks. While the Adviser has established business continuity plans in the event of, and risk management systems to prevent, limit or mitigate, such cyber-attacks, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems, including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified. Furthermore, the Fund cannot control the cybersecurity plans and systems put in place by service providers to the Fund such as the Fund's custodian and accounting agent, and the Fund's transfer agent. In addition, many beneficial owners of Fund shares hold them through accounts at broker-dealers, retirement platforms and other financial market participants over which neither the Fund nor the Adviser exercises control. Each of these may in turn rely on service providers to |

|  | them, which are also subject to the risk of cyber-attacks. Cybersecurity failures or breaches at the Adviser or the Fund's service providers or intermediaries have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, interference with the Fund's ability to calculate its net asset value, impediments to trading, the inability of Fund shareholders to effect share purchases, redemptions or exchanges or receive distributions, loss of or unauthorized access to private shareholder information and violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, or additional compliance costs. Such costs and losses may not be covered under any insurance. In addition, maintaining vigilance against cyber-attacks may involve substantial costs over time, and system enhancements may themselves be subject to cyber-attacks. |
|  | The Fund's prospectus contains unaudited information regarding the Fund's principal risks. Please refer to that document when considering the Fund's principal risks. |
| **H.** | **Restricted Securities** |
|  | Restricted Securities are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Restricted securities generally are resold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933. Private placement securities are generally considered to be restricted except for those securities traded between qualiﬁed institutional investors under the provisions of Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. |
|  | Disposal of restricted investments may involve negotiations and expenses, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difﬁcult to achieve. Restricted investments held by the Fund at March 31, 2025 are listed in the Schedule of Investments. |
| **I.** | **Insurance-Linked Securities ("ILS")** |
|  | The Fund invests in ILS. The Fund could lose a portion or all of the principal it has invested in an ILS, and the right to additional interest or dividend payments with respect to the security, upon the occurrence of one or more trigger events, as deﬁned within the terms of an insurance-linked security. Trigger events, generally, are hurricanes, earthquakes, or other natural events of a speciﬁc size or magnitude that occur in a designated geographic region during a speciﬁed time period, and/or that involve losses or other metrics that exceed a speciﬁc amount. There is no way to accurately predict whether a trigger event will occur, and accordingly, ILS carry signiﬁcant risk. The Fund is entitled to receive principal, and interest and/or dividend payments so long as no trigger event occurs of the description and magnitude speciﬁed by the |

|  | instrument. In addition to the speciﬁed trigger events, ILS may expose the Fund to other risks, including but not limited to issuer (credit) default, adverse regulatory or jurisdictional interpretations and adverse tax consequences. |
|  | The Fund's investments in ILS may include event-linked bonds. ILS also may include special purpose vehicles ("SPVs") or similar instruments structured to comprise a portion of a reinsurer's catastrophe-oriented business, known as quota share instruments (sometimes referred to as reinsurance sidecars), or to provide reinsurance relating to speciﬁc risks to insurance or reinsurance companies through a collateralized instrument, known as collateralized reinsurance. Structured reinsurance investments also may include industry loss warranties ("ILWs"). A traditional ILW takes the form of a bilateral reinsurance contract, but there are also products that take the form of derivatives, collateralized structures, or exchange-traded instruments. |
|  | Where the ILS are based on the performance of underlying reinsurance contracts, the Fund has limited transparency into the individual underlying contracts, and therefore must rely upon the risk assessment and sound underwriting practices of the issuer. Accordingly, it may be more difficult for the Fund's investment adviser to fully evaluate the underlying risk profile of the Fund's structured reinsurance investments, and therefore the Fund's assets are placed at greater risk of loss than if the Fund's investment adviser had more complete information. Structured reinsurance instruments generally will be considered illiquid securities by the Fund. These securities may be difficult to purchase, sell or unwind. Illiquid securities also may be difficult to value. If the Fund is forced to sell an illiquid asset, the Fund may be forced to sell at a loss. |
| **J.** | **Repurchase Agreements** |
|  | Repurchase agreements are arrangements under which the Fund purchases securities from a broker-dealer or a bank, called the counterparty, upon the agreement of the counterparty to repurchase the securities from the Fund at a later date, and at a specific price, which is typically higher than the purchase price paid by the Fund. The securities purchased serve as the Fund**'**s collateral for the obligation of the counterparty to repurchase the securities. The value of the collateral, including accrued interest, is required to be equal to or in excess of the repurchase price. The collateral for all repurchase agreements is held in safekeeping in the customer-only account of the Fund**'**s custodian or a sub-custodian of the Fund. The Adviser is responsible for determining that the value of the collateral remains at least equal to the repurchase price. In the event of a default by the counterparty, the Fund is entitled |

|  | to sell the securities, but the Fund may not be able to sell them for the price at which they were purchased, thus causing a loss to the Fund. Additionally, if the counterparty becomes insolvent, there is some risk that the Fund will not have a right to the securities, or the immediate right to sell the securities. |
|  | Open repurchase agreements at March 31, 2025 are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments. |
| **K.** | **Purchased Options** |
|  | The Fund may purchase put and call options to seek to increase total return. Purchased call and put options entitle the Fund to buy and sell a specified number of shares or units of a particular security, currency or index at a specified price at a specific date or within a specific period of time. Upon the purchase of a call or put option, the premium paid by the Fund is included on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment. All premiums are marked-to-market daily, and any unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded on the Fund's Statement of Operations. As the purchaser of an index option, the Fund has the right to receive a cash payment equal to any depreciation in the value of the index below the strike price of the option (in the case of a put) or equal to any appreciation in the value of the index over the strike price of the option (in the case of a call) as of the valuation date of the option. Premiums paid for purchased call and put options which have expired are treated as realized losses on investments on the Statement of Operations. Upon the exercise or closing of a purchased put option, the premium is offset against the proceeds on the sale of the underlying security or financial instrument in order to determine the realized gain or loss on investments. Upon the exercise or closing of a purchased call option, the premium is added to the cost of the security or financial instrument. The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium originally paid. |
|  | The average market value of purchased options contracts open during the six months ended March 31, 2025 was $663,083. There were no open purchased options contracts at March 31, 2025. |
| **L.** | **Option Writing** |
|  | The Fund may write put and covered call options to seek to increase total return. When an option is written, the Fund receives a premium and becomes obligated to purchase or sell the underlying security at a fixed price, upon the exercise of the option. When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as "Written options outstanding" on the Statement of Assets |

|  | and Liabilities and is subsequently adjusted to the current value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains from investments on the Statement of Operations. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain on the Statement of Operations, or, if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss on the Statement of Operations. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or loss. The Fund as writer of an option bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. |
|  | The average market value of written options for the six months ended March 31, 2025 was $(331541). There were no open written options contracts at March 31, 2025. |
| **M.** | **Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts** |
|  | The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts ("contracts") for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. All contracts are marked-to-market daily at the applicable exchange rates, and any resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded in the Fund's financial statements. The Fund records realized gains and losses at the time a contract is offset by entry into a closing transaction or extinguished by delivery of the currency. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar (see Note 8). |
|  | During the six months ended March 31, 2025, the Predecessor Fund had entered into various forward foreign currency exchange contracts that obligated the Fund to deliver or take delivery of currencies at specified future maturity dates. Alternatively, prior to the settlement date of a forward foreign currency exchange contract, the Fund may close out such contract by entering into an offsetting contract. |
|  | The average market value of forward foreign currency exchange contracts open during the six months ended March 31, 2025 was $159,285,003 and $140,333,651 for buys and sells, respectively. Open forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding at March 31, 2025 are listed in the Schedule of Investments. |

| **N.** | **TBA Purchases and Sales Commitments** |
|  | The Fund may enter into to-be-announced (TBA) purchases or sales commitments (collectively, TBA transactions), pursuant to which it agrees to purchase or sell, respectively, mortgage-backed securities for a fixed unit price, with payment and delivery at a scheduled future date beyond the customary settlement period for such securities. With TBA transactions, the particular securities to be received or delivered by the Fund are not identified at the trade date; however, the securities must meet specified terms, including issuer, rate, and mortgage term, and be within industry-accepted "good delivery" standards. The Fund may enter into TBA transactions with the intention of taking possession of or relinquishing the underlying securities, may elect to extend the settlement by "rolling" the transaction, and/or may use TBA transactions to gain or reduce interim exposure to underlying securities. Until settlement, the Fund maintains liquid assets sufficient to settle its commitment to purchase a TBA or, in the case of a sale commitment, the Fund maintains an entitlement to the security to be sold. |
|  | To mitigate counterparty risk, the Fund has entered into agreements with TBA counterparties that provide for collateral and the right to offset amounts due to or from those counterparties under specified conditions. Subject to minimum transfer amounts, collateral requirements are determined and transfers made based on the net aggregate unrealized gain or loss on all TBA commitments with a particular counterparty. At any time, the Fund's risk of loss from a particular counterparty related to its TBA commitments is the aggregate unrealized gain on appreciated TBAs in excess of unrealized loss on depreciated TBAs and collateral received, if any, from such counterparty. As of March 31, 2025, the amount of cash deposited with a broker as collateral is recorded as "Collateral due from broker for TBA sales commitments" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and totalled $574,000. No collateral was pledged by counterparties for TBAs. |
| **O.** | **Futures Contracts** |
|  | The Fund may enter into futures transactions in order to attempt to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices and currency exchange rates or to seek to increase total return. Futures contracts are types of derivatives. |
|  | All futures contracts entered into by the Fund are traded on a futures exchange. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with a broker an amount of cash or securities equal to the minimum "initial margin" requirements of the associated futures exchange. The amount of cash deposited with the broker as collateral at |

|  | March 31, 2025 is recorded as "Futures collateral" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
|  | Subsequent payments for futures contracts ("variation margin") are paid or received by the Fund, depending on the daily fluctuation in the value of the contracts, and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Cash received from or paid to the broker related to previous margin movement is held in a segregated account at the broker and is recorded as either "Due from broker for futures" or "Due to broker for futures" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contract is closed, the Fund realizes a gain or loss equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract as well as any fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates where applicable. Futures contracts are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and currency exchange rate risk. Changes in value of the contracts may not directly correlate to the changes in value of the underlying securities. With futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures are exchange-traded and the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. |
|  | The average notional values of long position and short position futures contracts during the six months ended March 31, 2025 were $1,217,609,782 and $126,427,794, respectively. Open futures contracts outstanding at March 31, 2025 are listed in the Schedule of Investments. |
| **P.** | **Credit Default Swap Contracts** |
|  | A credit default swap is a contract between a buyer of protection and a seller of protection against a pre-defined credit event or an underlying reference obligation, which may be a single security or a basket or index of securities. The Fund may buy or sell credit default swap contracts to seek to increase the Fund's income, or to attempt to hedge the risk of default on portfolio securities. A credit default swap index is used to hedge risk or take a position on a basket of credit entities or indices. |
|  | As a seller of protection, the Fund would be required to pay the notional (or other agreed-upon) value of the referenced debt obligation to the counterparty in the event of a default by a U.S. or foreign corporate issuer of a debt obligation, which would likely result in a loss to the Fund. In return, the Fund would receive from the counterparty a periodic stream of payments during the term of the contract, provided that no event of default occurred. The maximum exposure of loss to the seller would be the notional value of the credit default swaps outstanding. If no default occurs, the Fund would keep the stream of payments and would have no payment obligation. The Fund may also buy credit default |

| swap contracts in order to hedge against the risk of default of debt securities, in which case the Fund would function as the counterparty referenced above. |
| As a buyer of protection, the Fund makes an upfront or periodic payment to the protection seller in exchange for the right to receive a contingent payment. An upfront payment made by the Fund, as the protection buyer, is recorded within the "Swap contracts, at value" line item on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Periodic payments received or paid by the Fund are recorded as realized gains or losses on the Statement of Operations. |
| Credit default swap contracts are marked-to-market daily using valuations supplied by independent sources, and the change in value, if any, is recorded within the "Swap contracts, at value" line item on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments received or made as a result of a credit event or upon termination of the contract are recognized, net of the appropriate amount of the upfront payment, as realized gains or losses on the Statement of Operations. |
| Credit default swap contracts involving the sale of protection may involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the referenced debt instrument directly. Credit default swap contracts are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk. If the Fund is a protection buyer and no credit event occurs, it will lose its investment. If the Fund is a protection seller and a credit event occurs, the value of the referenced debt instrument received by the Fund, together with the periodic payments received, may be less than the amount the Fund pays to the protection buyer, resulting in a loss to the Fund. In addition, obligations under sell protection credit default swaps may be partially offset by net amounts received from settlement of buy protection credit default swaps entered into by the Fund for the same reference obligation with the same counterparty. |
| The Fund may invest in credit default swap index products ("CDX"). A CDX is a swap on an index of credit default swaps. CDXs allow an investor to manage credit risk or take a position on a basket of credit entities (such as credit default swaps or commercial mortgage-backed securities) in a more efficient manner than transacting in a single-name credit default swap. If a credit event occurs in one of the underlying companies, the protection is paid out via the delivery of the defaulted bond by the buyer of protection in return for a payment of notional value of the defaulted bond by the seller of protection or it may be settled through a cash settlement between the two parties. The underlying company is then removed from the index. If the Fund holds a |

| long position in a CDX, the Fund would indirectly bear its proportionate share of any expenses paid by a CDX. A fund holding a long position in CDXs typically receives income from principal or interest paid on the underlying securities. By investing in CDXs, the Fund could be exposed to liquidity risk, counterparty risk, credit risk of the issuers of the underlying loan obligations and of the CDX markets, and operational risks. If there is a default by the CDX counterparty, the Fund will have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreements related to the transaction. CDXs also bear the risk that the Fund will not be able to meet its obligation to the counterparty. |
| Certain swap contracts that are cleared through a central clearinghouse are referred to as centrally cleared swaps. All payments made or received by the Fund are pursuant to a centrally cleared swap contract with the central clearing party rather than the original counterparty. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap contract, the Fund is required to make an initial margin deposit, either in cash or in securities. The daily change in value on open centrally cleared contracts is recorded as "Variation margin for centrally cleared swap contracts" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Cash received from or paid to the broker related to previous margin movement is held in a segregated account at the broker and is recorded as either "Due from broker for swaps" or "Due to broker for swaps" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The amount of cash deposited with a broker as collateral at March 31, 2025 is recorded as "Swaps collateral" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
| The average notional value of credit default swap contracts buy protection open during the six months ended March 31, 2025 was $424,942,429. Open credit default swap contracts at March 31, 2025 are listed in the Schedule of Investments. |

2. Investment Advisory Agreement

The Adviser manages the Fund's portfolio. Management fees payable under the Fund's Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser are calculated daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.60% of the Fund's average daily net assets up to $1 billion, 0.55% on the next $9 billion and 0.50% on assets over $10 billion. Prior to the Reorganization, Amundi Asset Management US, Inc. ("Amundi US") served as the investment adviser of the Predecessor Fund. Under an investment management agreement with Amundi US, the Predecessor Fund paid management fees at the annual rate of 0.60% of the Fund's average daily net assets up to $1 billion, 0.55% on the next $9 billion and 0.50% on assets over $10 billion. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, the effective management fee (excluding waivers

and/or reimbursements) was equivalent to 0.56% (annualized) of the Fund's average daily net assets.

The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and/or reimburse expenses so that the total annual fund operating expenses (excluding certain items such as interest, taxes, brokerage commissions) do not exceed 1.07%, 1.69%, 0.59%, 1.34% and 0.69% of the Fund's Class A, Class C, Class R6, Class R and Class Y shares, respectively. These expense limitations are in effect through April 1, 2028. The Adviser is permitted to recoup advisory fees waived and expenses reimbursed for up to two years after the date of the waiver or reimbursement, subject to the lesser of any operating expense limits in effect at the time of (a) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (b) the recoupment, after giving effect to the recoupment amount. The agreement may only be terminated by the Fund's Board of Trustees. There can be no assurance that the Adviser will extend the expense limitation agreement for a class of shares beyond the date referred to above.

Prior to the Reorganization, Amundi US contractually agreed to limit ordinary operating expenses (ordinary operating expenses means all fund expenses other than taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation) to the extent required to reduce Fund expenses to 0.59% and 0.69% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class K and Class Y shares, respectively. These expense limitations were in effect during the six months ended March 31, 2025. Fees waived and expenses reimbursed during the six months ended are reflected on the Statement of Operations.

In addition, under the Predecessor Fund's management and administration agreements with Amundi US, certain other services and costs, including accounting, regulatory reporting and insurance premiums, were paid by the Predecessor Fund as administrative reimbursements. Reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities is $628,933 in management fees payable to the Adviser at March 31, 2025.

3. Compensation of Officers and Trustees

The Fund pays an annual fee to its Trustees. Except for the chief compliance officer, the Fund does not pay any salary or other compensation to its officers. The Fund pays a portion of the chief compliance officer's compensation for his services as the Fund's chief compliance officer. The Adviser pays the remaining portion of the chief compliance officer's compensation. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, the Predecessor Fund paid $88,560 in Officers' and Trustees' compensation, which is reflected on the Statement of Operations as Officers' and Trustees' fees. At March 31, 2025, on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities, the Predecessor

Fund had a payable for Trustees' fees of $5,426 and a payable for administrative expenses of $96,554, which includes the payable for Officers' compensation.

4. Transfer Agent

BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. serves as the transfer agent to the Fund and the Predecessor Fund at negotiated rates. Transfer agent fees and payables shown on the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, respectively, include sub-transfer agent expenses incurred through the Predecessor Fund's omnibus relationship contracts.

In addition, during the periods covered by the financial statements the Predecessor Fund reimbursed the transfer agent for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the transfer agent related to shareholder communications activities such as proxy and statement mailings, and outgoing phone calls. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, such out-of-pocket expenses by class of shares were as follows:

5. Distribution and Service Plans

The Predecessor Fund adopted a distribution plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to its Class A, Class C and Class R shares. Pursuant to the Plan, Predecessor Fund paid its distributor 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares as compensation for personal services and/or account maintenance services or distribution services with regard to Class A shares. Pursuant to the Plan, the Predecessor Fund also paid its distributor 1.00% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares. The fee for Class C shares consisted of a 0.25% service fee and a 0.75% distribution fee paid as compensation for personal services and/or account maintenance services or distribution services with regard to Class C shares. Pursuant to the Plan, the Fund further pays the Distributor 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares for distribution services. Reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities is $62,159 in distribution fees payable to Amundi Distributor US, Inc, the Predecessor Fund's distributor at March 31, 2025.

The Fund also has adopted a separate service plan for Class R shares (the "Service Plan"). The Service Plan authorizes the Fund to pay securities dealers, plan administrators or other service organizations that agree to provide certain services to retirement plans or plan participants holding shares of the Fund a service fee of up to 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares held by such plans.

In addition, redemptions of Class A and Class C shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC"). A CDSC of 1.00% may be imposed on redemptions of certain net asset value purchases of Class A shares within 12 months of purchase. Redemptions of Class C shares within 12 months of purchase are subject to a CDSC of 1.00% based on the lower of cost or market value of shares being redeemed. Shares purchased as part of an exchange remain subject to any CDSC that applied to the original purchase of those shares. There is no CDSC for Class R6, Class R or Class Y shares. Proceeds from the CDSCs were paid to the Predecessor Fund's distributor. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, CDSCs in the amount of $740 were paid to Amundi Distributor US, Inc, the Predecessor Fund's distributor.

6. Line of Credit Facility

During the periods covered by these financial statements, the Predecessor Fund participated in a committed, unsecured revolving line of credit ("credit facility"). Borrowings were used solely for temporary or emergency purposes. The Predecessor Fund was permitted to borrow up to the lesser of the amount available under the credit facility or the limits set for borrowing by the Predecessor Fund's prospectus and the 1940 Act. The Predecessor Fund participated in a credit facility in the amount of $250 million. The commitment fee with respect to the credit facility was 0.20% of the daily unused portion of each lender's commitment. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, the Predecessor Fund had no borrowings under the credit facility.

7. Master Netting Agreements

The Fund has entered into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement ("ISDA Master Agreement") or similar agreement with substantially all of its derivative counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs the trading of certain Over the Counter ("OTC") derivatives and typically contains, among other things, close-out and set- off provisions which apply upon the occurrence of an event of default and/or a termination event as deﬁned under the relevant ISDA Master Agreement. The ISDA Master Agreement may also give a party the right to

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_Amund_6d220a55-60a2-4212-b81e-d6656214f7f3_TOC)

terminate all transactions traded under such agreement if, among other things, there is deterioration in the credit quality of the other party.

Upon an event of default or a termination of the ISDA Master Agreement, the non-defaulting party has the right to close-out all transactions under such agreement and to net amounts owed under each transaction to determine one net amount payable by one party to the other. The right to close out and net payments across all transactions under the ISDA Master Agreement could result in a reduction of the Fund's credit risk to its counterparty equal to any amounts payable by the Fund under the applicable transactions, if any. However, the Fund's right to set-off may be restricted or prohibited by the bankruptcy or insolvency laws of the particular jurisdiction to which each speciﬁc ISDA Master Agreement of each counterparty is subject.

The collateral requirements for derivatives transactions under an ISDA Master Agreement are governed by a credit support annex to the ISDA Master Agreement. Collateral requirements are generally determined at the close of business each day and are typically based on changes in market values for each transaction under an ISDA Master Agreement and netted into one amount for such agreement. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a counterparty is subject to threshold (a "minimum transfer amount") before a transfer is required, which may vary by counterparty. Collateral pledged for the beneﬁt of the Fund and/or counterparty is held in segregated accounts by the Fund's custodian and cannot be sold, re- pledged, assigned or otherwise used while pledged. Cash that has been segregated to cover the Fund's collateral obligations, if any, will be reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as "Swaps collateral". Securities pledged by the Fund as collateral, if any, are identiﬁed as such in the Schedule of Investments.

10. Subsequent Event

On April 1, 2025 (the "Closing Date"), the Predecessor Fund was reorganized with the Fund (the "Reorganization"). The purpose of this transaction was to combine two funds with similar investment objectives and strategies.

This tax-free Reorganization was accomplished by exchanging the assets and liabilities of the Predecessor Fund for shares of the Fund. Shareholders holding Class A, Class C, Class K, Class R and Class Y shares of the Predecessor Fund received Class A, Class C, Class R6, Class R and Class Y shares of the Fund, respectively, in the Reorganization. The investment portfolio of the Predecessor Fund, with an aggregate value of $3,484,675,210 and an identified cost of $3,640,129,391 at April 1, 2025, was the principal asset acquired by the Fund.

The Predecessor Fund was the accounting survivor of the Reorganization. Accordingly, the Predecessor Fund's performance and financial history have become the performance and financial history of the Fund.

### Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement
Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital") serves as the investment adviser to Victory Pioneer Strategic Income Fund (the "Fund") pursuant to an investment advisory agreement between Victory Capital and the Fund (the "Investment Advisory Agreement").

The Fund is newly-organized and was established in connection with the reorganization of Pioneer Strategic Income (the "Predecessor Fund") into the Fund (the "Reorganization"). The Predecessor Fund and the Fund entered into the Reorganization in connection with the contribution of Amundi Asset Management US, Inc. ("Amundi US"), the Predecessor Fund's investment adviser, to Victory Capital Holdings, Inc. ("Victory Capital Holdings"), the parent company of Victory Capital (the "Transaction"). The Reorganization was approved by shareholders of the Predecessor Fund at a meeting held on March 27, 2025 and was consummated on April 1, 2025.

The Trustees of the Fund, including all of the Independent Trustees, met to consider the Investment Advisory Agreement at an in-person meeting held on December 16, 2024. The Independent Trustees also served on the Board of Trustees of the Predecessor Fund.

To assist the Trustees in their consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, Victory Capital provided extensive information to the Trustees regarding the Reorganization, the Transaction and the investment advisory services to be provided by Victory Capital under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Before and during the December 16, 2024 meeting, the Trustees sought additional information as they deemed necessary and appropriate. In connection with their consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Independent Trustees worked with their independent legal counsel to prepare requests for additional information that were submitted to Victory Capital and Amundi US. The Trustees' requests for information sought information relevant to the Trustees' consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement and anticipated impacts of the Reorganization and the Transaction on the Fund and its shareholders. The Independent Trustees met with senior management representatives of Victory Capital and Amundi US on numerous occasions to discuss various aspects of the Reorganization and the Transaction, to review information provided to assist the Independent Trustees in their consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Reorganization and the Transaction, and to make supplemental due diligence requests for additional information from Victory Capital and Amundi US with respect to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Reorganization and the

Transaction. Victory Capital and Amundi US provided documents and information in response to the requests from the Independent Trustees, as well as made presentations to, and responded to questions from, the Independent Trustees.

Prior to voting on the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Independent Trustees reviewed the Reorganization, the Transaction and the Investment Advisory Agreement with representatives of Amundi US and Victory Capital, counsel to the Fund and counsel to the Independent Trustees. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the Reorganization, the Transaction and the Investment Advisory Agreement with their independent legal counsel in private sessions at which no representatives of Amundi US, Victory Capital or counsel to the Fund were present.

The Trustees' evaluation of the Investment Advisory Agreement reflected information provided specifically in connection with their review of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as well as, where relevant, information that was previously furnished to the Independent Trustees in connection with the renewal of the Predecessor Fund's investment advisory agreement with Amundi US (the "Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement") at an in-person meeting of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held on September 17, 2024 and at other meetings of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees throughout the prior year.

Among other things, the Trustees considered:

(i) that, in the Transaction, Amundi US would be combined into Victory Capital Holdings in exchange for shares of Victory Capital Holdings issued to Amundi Asset Management S.A.S. ("Amundi"), the parent company of Amundi US, without Amundi becoming a controlling stockholder of Victory Capital Holdings, and that Victory Capital Holdings and Amundi would establish a long-term reciprocal distribution partnership;

(ii) representations by Victory Capital regarding the reputation, experience, financial strength and resources of Victory Capital and its investment franchises;

(iii) that Victory Capital informed the Trustees that the portfolio managers of the Predecessor Fund were expected to continue to act as portfolio managers of the Fund following the consummation of the Reorganization as members of Pioneer Investments, a planned Victory Capital investment franchise, managing the Fund using the same investment approach under which the Predecessor Fund was managed, and the Trustees considered the historical investment performance record of the Predecessor Fund under such investment approach;

(iv) the non-investment resources, infrastructure and personnel of Victory Capital that would be involved in Victory Capital's services to the Fund, including Victory Capital's legal and operational structure, risk management, administrative, legal, compliance and cybersecurity functions;

(v) Victory Capital's distribution capabilities, including its significant network of intermediary relationships, which may provide additional opportunities for the Fund to grow assets and lower fees and expenses through increased economies of scale;

(vi) Victory Capital's broad distribution network and a large fund family of Victory Funds may also provide opportunities for asset growth for the Fund and economies of scale through the potential to negotiate lower fee rates from service providers and to determine based on the assets of the entire Victory Fund complex;

(vii) the fact that the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Fund would be the same as the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Predecessor Fund;

(viii) the fact that the Independent Trustees received full comparative fee and expense data in connection with their approval of the continuance of the Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement at the in-person meeting of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held on September 17, 2024;

(ix) that Victory Capital agreed with the Trustees that, for at least three years after the closing of the Reorganization, Victory Capital would waive fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the Fund's total net annual operating expenses (excluding certain customary items) does not exceed the lower of (i) the total net annual operating expenses associated with investing in the Predecessor Fund after application of expense limitation arrangements in effect for the Predecessor Fund, if any, or (ii) the total net annual operating expenses of the Predecessor Fund as of the end of the Predecessor Fund's most recent fiscal year at the time of the closing of the Reorganization, and that the contractual expense limitation agreement permits Victory Capital to recoup advisory fees waived and expenses reimbursed for up to two years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement took place, subject to the lesser of any operating expense limitation in effect at the time of: (1) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (2) recoupment, after giving effect to the recoupment amount;

(xi) that Victory Capital had acquired and integrated several investment management companies;

(xii) that Victory Capital had agreed to conduct, and use reasonable best efforts to cause its affiliates to conduct, its business in compliance with Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act so as not to impose an "unfair burden" on the Fund; and

(xiii) the potential benefits to the shareholders of the Fund, including continuity of portfolio management and operating efficiencies due to the greater scale of Victory Capital that may be achieved from the Reorganization.

Certain of these considerations are discussed in more detail below.

The Trustees also requested, obtained and considered the following information in connection with their evaluation of the Reorganization, the Transaction and the Investment Advisory Agreement for the Fund: (i) memoranda provided by Fund counsel that summarized the legal standards and other considerations that are relevant to the Trustees in their deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement; and (ii) the financial statements of Victory Capital, a profitability analysis provided by Victory Capital, and an analysis from Victory Capital as to possible economies of scale. The Independent Trustees further considered materials provided in connection with their review of the Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement, including information regarding the qualifications of the investment management team for the Fund, as well as the level of investment by the Fund's portfolio managers in the Fund. In addition, the Independent Trustees considered the information provided at and in connection with regularly scheduled meetings of the Board of Trustees of the Predecessor Fund throughout the year regarding the Predecessor Fund's performance and risk attributes, including through meetings with investment management personnel, and took into account other information related to the Predecessor Fund provided to the Independent Trustees at regularly scheduled meetings.

At the December 16, 2024 meeting, based on their evaluation of the information provided, the Trustees including the Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the Investment Advisory Agreement. In approving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered various factors that they determined were relevant, including the factors described below. The Trustees did not identify any single factor as the controlling factor in their determinations.

#### Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Trustees considered that the Fund is newly-organized and was established in connection with the Reorganization. The Trustees considered that the investment objective, principal investment strategies and principal risks of the Fund are the same as those of the Predecessor Fund. The Trustees also considered Victory Capital's representation that, under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund would be managed using the same investment approach under which the Predecessor Fund was managed.

The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services that had been provided by Amundi US to the Predecessor Fund and that were expected to be provided by Victory Capital to the Fund following the consummation of the Reorganization, taking into account the investment objective and principal investment strategies of the Fund.

The Trustees considered information provided by Victory Capital regarding its business and operating structure, scale of operations, leadership and reputation. The Trustees also considered the capabilities, resources, and personnel of Victory Capital, in order to determine whether Victory Capital is capable of providing at least the same level of investment management services provided to the Predecessor Fund. The Trustees received information regarding Victory Capital's plans to integrate Amundi US investment personnel into Victory Capital as members of Pioneer Investments, a Victory Capital investment franchise. The Independent Trustees noted that they had considered the qualifications of the portfolio managers at Amundi US at meetings of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held prior to September 17, 2024.

The Trustees considered the non-investment resources, infrastructure and personnel of Victory Capital that would be involved in Victory Capital's services to the Fund, including Victory Capital's compliance, risk management, cybersecurity and legal resources and personnel. The Trustees also reviewed information provided by Victory Capital related to its business, legal, and regulatory affairs, including information regarding the resources available to Victory Capital to provide the services specified under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also considered Victory Capital's financial condition, and noted that Victory Capital was expected to be able to provide a high level of service to the Fund and continuously invest and re-invest in its investment management business.

The Trustees considered that Amundi US supervised and monitored the performance of the Predecessor Fund's service providers and provided the Predecessor Fund with personnel (including Fund officers) and other resources that were necessary for the Predecessor Fund's business

122Victory Pioneer Strategic Income Fund \| Semi-Annual \| 3/31/25

------

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_Amund_6d220a55-60a2-4212-b81e-d6656214f7f3_TOC)

management and operations, and considered the personnel and resources that Victory Capital proposed to provide with respect to such services for the Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also considered that, as administrator, Amundi US was responsible for the administration of the Predecessor Fund's business and other affairs and that, following the Reorganization, Victory Capital would be responsible for the administration of the Fund's business and other affairs. The Trustees considered that the fees Victory Capital would charge for administration services were higher than the fees that Amundi US received as reimbursement for services rendered, and considered Victory Capital's explanation of the reasons for the differences in administration fees charged by Victory Capital and Amundi US as well as the expense limitation arrangement proposed to be implemented for the Fund for at least three years following the completion of the Reorganization.

Based on these considerations, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services that Victory Capital would provide to the Fund would be satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement.

#### Performance of the Fund
The Fund is newly-organized and does not have a performance history. The Trustees considered that the Fund succeeded to the performance history of the Predecessor Fund in the Reorganization. In considering the Predecessor Fund's performance, the Independent Trustees regularly reviewed and discussed throughout the year data and information comparing the Predecessor Fund's performance with the performance of its peer group of funds, as classified by Morningstar, Inc. (Morningstar), and with the performance of the Predecessor Fund's benchmark index. They also discussed the Predecessor Fund's performance with the Predecessor Fund's portfolio managers on a regular basis. The Independent Trustees' regular reviews and discussions with respect to the Predecessor Fund were factored into the Trustees' deliberations concerning the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement.

In addition, the Trustees considered that the Predecessor Fund's portfolio managers were expected to continue to act as portfolio managers of the Fund following the consummation of the Reorganization as members of Pioneer Investments, a Victory Capital investment franchise. The Trustees also considered that the investment objective and principal investment strategies of the Fund are the same as those of the Predecessor Fund.

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_Amund_6d220a55-60a2-4212-b81e-d6656214f7f3_TOC)

#### Advisory Fee and Expenses
The Independent Trustees considered that the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement would be the same as the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Predecessor Fund. The Independent Trustees also considered that, for at least three years after the close of the Reorganization, Victory Capital had agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of the Fund so that its total net operating expenses (excluding certain customary items) does not exceed the lower of (i) the total net annual operating expenses associated with investing in the Predecessor Fund after application of expense limitation arrangements in effect for the Predecessor Fund, if any, or (ii) the total net annual operating expenses of the Predecessor Fund as of the end of the Predecessor Fund's most recent fiscal year, at the time of the closing of the Reorganization. The Independent Trustees also considered that they had received full comparative fee and expense data in connection with their approval of the continuance of the Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement at the in-person meeting of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held on September 17, 2024. The Trustees concluded that the proposed advisory fee payable by the Fund to Victory Capital was reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of services to be provided by Victory Capital.

#### Profitability
The Trustees considered information provided by Victory Capital regarding the estimated profitability of Victory Capital with respect to the advisory services proposed to be provided by Victory Capital to the Fund, including the methodology used by Victory Capital in allocating certain of its costs to the management of the Fund. The Trustees also considered Victory Capital's estimated profit margins in connection with the overall operation of the Fund. The Trustees considered the investments Victory Capital expected to make to support and grow the Pioneer funds brand and the costs to integrate the Amundi US/Pioneer Funds business into Victory Capital. The Trustees also considered information regarding Victory Capital's profit margins with respect to the funds it currently manages. The Trustees considered Victory Capital's representation that the fully integrated Amundi US/Pioneer Funds business, including investments to support ongoing growth, was expected to have a positive impact on Victory Capital's overall financial profitability. The Trustees considered Victory Capital's current profit margins in comparison to the limited industry data available and noted that the profitability of any adviser was affected by numerous factors, including its organizational structure and method for

------

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_Amund_6d220a55-60a2-4212-b81e-d6656214f7f3_TOC)

allocating expenses. The Trustees concluded that Victory Capital's estimated profitability with respect to the management of the Fund was not unreasonable.

#### Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the extent to which Victory Capital may realize economies of scale or other efficiencies in managing and supporting the Fund. The Trustees noted the breakpoints in the management fee schedule. The Trustees recognize that economies of scale are difficult to identify and quantify, and that, among other factors that may be relevant, are the following: fee levels, expense subsidization, investment by Victory Capital in research and analytical capabilities and Victory Capital's commitment and resource allocation to the Fund. The Trustees noted that profitability also may be an indicator of the availability of any economies of scale, although profitability may vary for other reasons including due to reductions in expenses. The Trustees concluded that economies of scale, if any, would be appropriately shared with the Fund.

#### Other Benefits
The Trustees considered the other benefits that Victory Capital may enjoy from its relationship with the Fund. The Trustees considered the character and amount of fees to be paid by the Fund, other than under the Investment Advisory Agreement, for services to be provided by Victory Capital and its affiliates. The Trustees further considered the revenues and profitability of Victory Capital's businesses other than the Fund business. To the extent applicable, the Trustees also considered the potential benefits to the Fund and to Victory Capital and its affiliates from the use of "soft" commission dollars generated by the Fund to pay for research and brokerage services.

The Trustees noted that the completion of the Transaction would result in a long-term reciprocal distribution partnership between Amundi and Victory Capital, and that Victory Capital may benefit from Amundi's ability to market the services of Victory Capital globally, including in an increase of the overall scale of Victory Capital. The Trustees considered that the Transaction would significantly increase Victory Capital's assets under management and expand Victory Capital's investment capabilities. The Trustees considered that this increased size and diversification could facilitate Victory Capital's continued investment in its business and products, which Victory Capital would be able to leverage across a broader base of assets. The Trustees considered that Victory Capital and the Fund are expected to receive reciprocal intangible benefits from the relationship,

including mutual brand recognition. The Trustees concluded that any such benefits received by Victory Capital as a result of its relationship with the Fund were reasonable.

#### Conclusion
After consideration of the factors described above as well as other factors, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the Investment Advisory Agreement, including the fees payable thereunder, was fair and reasonable and voted to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement.

### Notes to Financial Statements \| 3/31/25
(unaudited)

1. Organization and Signiﬁcant Accounting Policies

Victory Pioneer Intrinsic Value Fund (the "Fund") is one of 29 portfolios comprising Victory Portfolios IV (the "Trust"), a Delaware statutory trust. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund, which commenced operations on April 1, 2025, is the successor to Pioneer Intrinsic Value Fund (the "Predecessor Fund") and, accordingly, the Predecessor Fund's performance and financial history have become the performance and financial history of the Fund. The Predecessor Fund transferred all of the net assets of Class A, Class C and Class Y shares in exchange for the Fund's Class A, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively, on April 1, 2025 pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization (the "Reorganization") which was approved by the shareholders of the Predecessor Fund on March 27, 2025. Accordingly, the Reorganization, which was a tax-free exchange, had no effect on the Fund's operations. The Fund's investment objective is to seek long-term capital growth.

The Fund offers three classes of shares designated as Class A, Class C and Class Y shares. Class A, Class C and Class Y commenced operations on May 10, 2021. Each class of shares represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments of the Fund and has identical rights (based on relative net asset values) to assets and liquidation proceeds. Share classes can bear different rates of class-speciﬁc fees and expenses, such as transfer agent and distribution fees. Differences in class-speciﬁc fees and expenses will result in differences in net investment income and, therefore, the payment of different dividends from net investment income earned by each class. The Second Amended and Restated Trust Instrument of the Trust gives the Board of Trustees the ﬂexibility to specify either per-share voting or dollar-weighted voting when submitting matters for shareholder approval. Under per-share voting, each share of a class of the Fund is entitled to one vote. Under dollar-weighted voting, a shareholder's voting power is determined not by the number of shares owned, but by the dollar value of the shares on the record date. Each share class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters affecting only that class, including with respect to the distribution plan for that class. There is no distribution plan for Class Y shares.

During the periods covered by these financial statements, Amundi Asset Management US, Inc., an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Amundi and Amundi's wholly owned subsidiary, Amundi USA, Inc., served as the

Fund's investment adviser ("Amundi US"). Effective April 1, 2025, Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital" or the "Adviser") serves as the Fund's investment adviser. See Note 6. During the periods covered by these financial statements, Amundi Distributor US, Inc., an afﬁliate of Amundi US, served as the Fund's distributor (the "Distributor").

The Fund is required to comply with Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, which governs the use of derivatives by registered investment companies. Rule 18f-4 permits funds to enter into derivatives transactions (as defined in Rule 18f-4) and certain other transactions notwithstanding the restrictions on the issuance of "senior securities" under Section 18 of the 1940 Act. In accordance with Rule 18f-4, the Fund has established and maintains a comprehensive derivatives risk management program, has appointed a derivatives risk manager and complies with a relative or absolute limit on fund leverage risk calculated based on value-at-risk ("VaR").

The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07) during the period. The Fund's adoption of the new standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Fund's financial position or results of operations. The Fund's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has been identified as the Chief Operations Decision Maker (CODM) who assesses performance and allocates resources with respect to the Fund. The Fund's operations constitute a single operating segment and therefore, a single reportable segment, because the Fund has a single investment strategy as disclosed in its prospectus, against which the CODM manages the business activities using information of the Fund as a whole, and assesses performance of the Fund. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is the same as that presented within the Fund's financial statements.

The Fund is an investment company and follows investment company accounting and reporting guidance under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP"). U.S. GAAP requires the management of the Fund to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the ﬁnancial statements, and the reported amounts of income, expenses and gain or loss on investments during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The following is a summary of signiﬁcant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its ﬁnancial statements:

| **A.** | **Security Valuation** |
|  | The net asset value of the Fund is computed once daily, on each day the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open, as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE. |
|  | Equity securities that have traded on an exchange are valued by using the last sale price on the principal exchange where they are traded. Equity securities that have not traded on the date of valuation, or securities for which sale prices are not available, generally are valued using the mean between the last bid and asked prices or, if both last bid and asked prices are not available, at the last quoted bid price. Last sale and bid and asked prices are provided by independent third party pricing services. In the case of equity securities not traded on an exchange, prices are typically determined by independent third party pricing services using a variety of techniques and methods. |
|  | The value of foreign securities is translated into U.S. dollars based on foreign currency exchange rate quotations supplied by a third party pricing source. Trading in non-U.S. equity securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of such times. The Adviser may use a fair value model developed by an independent pricing service to value non-U.S. equity securities. |
|  | Shares of open-end registered investment companies (including money market mutual funds) are valued at such funds' net asset value. |
|  | Securities for which independent pricing services or broker-dealers are unable to supply prices or for which market prices and/or quotations are not readily available or are considered to be unreliable are valued by a fair valuation team comprised of certain personnel of Adviser. The Adviser is designated as the valuation designee for the Fund pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Adviser's fair valuation team is responsible for monitoring developments that may impact fair valued securities. |
|  | Inputs used when applying fair value methods to value a security may include credit ratings, the financial condition of the company, current market conditions and comparable securities. The Adviser may use fair value methods if it is determined that a significant event has occurred after the close of the exchange or market on which the security trades and prior to the determination of the Fund's net asset value. Examples of a significant event might include political or economic news, corporate restructurings, natural disasters, terrorist activity or trading |

| **B.** | **Investment Income and Transactions** |
|  | Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are recorded as soon as the Fund becomes aware of the ex-dividend data in the exercise of reasonable diligence. |
|  | Interest income, including interest on income-bearing cash accounts, is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend and interest income are reported net of unrecoverable foreign taxes withheld at the applicable country rates and net of income accrued on defaulted securities. |
|  | Interest and dividend income payable by delivery of additional shares is reclassified as PIK (payment-in-kind) income upon receipt and is included in interest and dividend income, respectively. |
|  | Security transactions are recorded as of trade date. Gains and losses on sales of investments are calculated on the identified cost method for both financial reporting and federal income tax purposes. |
| **C.** | **Foreign Currency Translation** |
|  | The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates. |
|  | Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions, if any, represent, among other things, the net realized gains and losses on foreign currency exchange contracts, disposition of foreign currencies and the difference between the amount of income accrued and the U.S. dollars actually received. Further, the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments are not segregated on the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in the market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. |
| **D.** | **Federal Income Taxes** |
|  | It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net taxable income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. As of March 31, 2025, the Fund did not accrue any interest or |

| The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Distributions in excess of net investment income or net realized gains are temporary over distributions for financial statement purposes resulting from differences in the recognition or classification of income or distributions for financial statement and tax purposes. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character, but are not adjusted for temporary differences. |
| The tax character of current year distributions payable will be determined at the end of the current taxable year. The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended September 30, 2024 was as follows: |

|  | During the periods covered by these financial statements, distribution fees are calculated based on the average daily net asset value attributable to Class A and Class C shares of the Fund, respectively (see Note 5). Class Y shares of the Predecessor Fund did not pay distribution fees. All expenses and fees paid to the Fund's transfer agent for its services were allocated among the classes of shares based on the number of accounts in each class and the ratable allocation of related out-of-pocket expenses (see Note 4). |
|  | During the periods covered by these financial statements, distributions to shareholders were recorded as of the ex-dividend date. During the periods covered by these financial statements, distributions paid by the Predecessor Fund with respect to each class of shares were calculated in the same manner and at the same time, except that net investment income dividends to Class A, Class C and Class Y shares of the Predecessor Fund reflected different transfer agent and distribution expense rates. |
| **G.** | **Risks** |
|  | The value of securities held by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic, political or regulatory conditions, recessions, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, inflation, changes in interest rates, armed conflict such as between Russia and Ukraine or in the Middle East, sanctions against Russia, other nations or individuals or companies and possible countermeasures, lack of liquidity in the bond markets or adverse investor sentiment. In the past several years, financial markets have experienced increased volatility, depressed valuations, decreased liquidity and heightened uncertainty. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread. Inflation and interest rates may increase. These circumstances could adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Fund's investments and negatively impact the Fund's performance. |
|  | Some sectors of the economy and individual issuers have experienced or may experience particularly large losses. Periods of extreme volatility in the financial markets, reduced liquidity of many instruments, increased government debt, inflation, and disruptions to supply chains, consumer demand and employee availability, may continue for some time. Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Russian securities lost all, or nearly all, their market value. Other securities or markets could be similarly affected by past or future political, geopolitical or other events or conditions. |

| Governments and central banks, including the U.S. Federal Reserve, have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. These actions have resulted in significant expansion of public debt, including in the U.S. The consequences of high public debt, including its future impact on the economy and securities markets, may not be known for some time. |
| The U.S. and other countries are periodically involved in disputes over trade and other matters, which may result in tariffs, investment restrictions and adverse impacts on affected companies and securities. For example, the U.S. has imposed tariffs and other trade barriers on Chinese exports, has restricted sales of certain categories of goods to China, and has established barriers to investments in China. Trade disputes may adversely affect the economies of the U.S. and its trading partners, as well as companies directly or indirectly affected and financial markets generally. If the political climate between the U.S. and China does not improve or continues to deteriorate, if China enters into military conflict with Taiwan, the Philippines or another neighbor, or if other geopolitical conflicts develop or get worse, economies, markets and individual securities may be severely affected both regionally and globally, and the value of the Fund's assets may go down. |
| At times, the Fund's investments may represent industries or industry sectors that are interrelated or have common risks, making the Fund more susceptible to any economic, political, or regulatory developments or other risks affecting those industries and sectors. |
| The Fund may invest in equity securities of large companies. Large companies may fall out of favor with investors and underperform the overall equity market. |
| Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. In response to the military action by Russia, various countries, including the U.S., the United Kingdom, and European Union issued broad-ranging economic sanctions against Russia and Belarus and certain companies and individuals. Since then, Russian securities lost all, or nearly all, their market value, and many other issuers, securities and markets have been adversely affected. The United States and other countries may impose sanctions on other countries, companies and individuals in light of Russia's military invasion. The extent and duration of the military action or future escalation of such hostilities, the extent and impact of existing and future sanctions, market disruptions and volatility, and the result of any diplomatic negotiations cannot be predicted. These and any related events could have a significant impact on the value and liquidity of certain Fund investments, on Fund performance and the value of an |

| With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet to conduct business, the Fund is susceptible to operational, information security and related risks. While the Adviser has established business continuity plans in the event of, and risk management systems to prevent, limit or mitigate, such cyber-attacks, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems, including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified. Furthermore, the Fund cannot control the cybersecurity plans and systems put in place by service providers to the Fund such as the Fund's custodian and accounting agent, and the Fund's transfer agent. In addition, many beneficial owners of Fund shares hold them through accounts at broker-dealers, retirement platforms and other financial market participants over which neither the Fund nor the Adviser exercises control. Each of these may in turn rely on service providers to them, which are also subject to the risk of cyber-attacks. Cybersecurity failures or breaches at the Adviser or the Fund's service providers or intermediaries have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, interference with the Fund's ability to calculate its net asset value, impediments to trading, the inability of Fund shareholders to effect share purchases, redemptions or exchanges or receive distributions, loss of or unauthorized access to private shareholder information and violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, or additional compliance costs. Such costs and losses may not be covered under any insurance. In addition, maintaining vigilance against cyber-attacks may involve substantial costs over time, and system enhancements may themselves be subject to cyber-attacks. |

the Reorganization, Amundi Asset Management US, Inc. ("Amundi US") served as the investment adviser of the Predecessor Fund. Under an investment management agreement with Amundi US, the Predecessor Fund paid management fees at the annual rate of 0.45% of the Fund's average daily net assets up to $1 billion and 0.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets over $1 billion. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, the effective management fee (excluding waivers and/or assumption of expenses) was equivalent to 0.45% (annualized) of the Fund's average daily net assets.

The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and/or reimburse expenses so that the total annual fund operating expenses (excluding certain items such as interest, taxes, brokerage commissions) do not exceed 0.85%, 1.60% and 0.55% of the Fund's Class A, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively. These expense limitations are in effect through April 1, 2028. The Adviser is permitted to recoup advisory fees waived and expenses reimbursed for up to two years after the date of the waiver or reimbursement, subject to the lesser of any operating expense limits in effect at the time of (a) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (b) the recoupment, after giving effect to the recoupment amount. The agreement may only be terminated by the Fund's Board of Trustees. There can be no assurance that the Adviser will extend the expense limitation agreement for a class of shares beyond the date referred to above.

Prior to the Reorganization, Amundi US contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse ordinary operating expenses (ordinary operating expenses means all Fund expenses other than taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation) to the extent required to reduce Fund expenses to 0.85%, 1.60% and 0.55% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively. These expense limitations were in effect during the six months ended March 31, 2025. Fees waived and expenses reimbursed during the six months ended March 31, 2025 are reflected on the Statement of Operations.

In addition, under the Predecessor Fund's management and administration agreements with Amundi US, certain other services and costs, including accounting, regulatory reporting and insurance premiums, were paid by the Predecessor Fund as administrative reimbursements. Reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities is $312 in management fees payable to Amundi US at March 31, 2025.

The Fund pays an annual fee to its Trustees. Except for the chief compliance officer, the Fund does not pay any salary or other compensation to its officers. The Fund pays a portion of the chief compliance officer's compensation for his services as the Fund's chief compliance officer. The Adviser pays the remaining portion of the chief compliance officer's compensation. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, the Predecessor Fund paid $3,760 in Officers' and Trustees' compensation, which is reflected on the Statement of Operations as Officers' and Trustees' fees. At March 31, 2025, on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities, the Predecessor Fund had a payable for Trustees' fees of $7 and a payable for administrative expenses of $49, which includes the payable for Officers' compensation.

4. Transfer Agent

BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. serves as the transfer agent to the Fund and the Predecessor Fund at negotiated rates. Transfer agent fees and payables shown on the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, respectively, include sub-transfer agent expenses incurred through the Predecessor Fund's omnibus relationship contracts.

In addition, during the periods covered by the financial statements the Predecessor Fund reimbursed the transfer agent for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the transfer agent related to shareholder communications activities such as proxy and statement mailings, and outgoing phone calls. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, such out-of-pocket expenses by class of shares were as follows:

5. Distribution Plan

The Predecessor Fund adopted a distribution plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 with respect to its Class A and Class C shares.

paid as compensation for personal services and/or account maintenance services or distribution services with regard to Class C shares. Reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities is $256 in distribution fees payable to the Amundi Distributors US, Inc., the Predecessor Fund's distributor, at March 31, 2025.

In addition, redemptions of Class A and Class C shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC"). A CDSC of 1.00% may be imposed on redemptions of certain net asset value purchases of Class A shares within 12 months of purchase. Redemptions of Class C shares within 12 months of purchase are subject to a CDSC of 1.00%, based on the lower of cost or market value of shares being redeemed. Shares purchased as part of an exchange remain subject to any CDSC that applied to the original purchase of those shares. There is no CDSC for Class Y shares. Proceeds from the CDSCs were paid to the Predecessor Fund's distributor. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, no CDSCs were paid to Amundi Distributor US, Inc., the Predecessor Fund's distributor.

6. Subsequent Event

On April 1, 2025 (the "Closing Date"), the Predecessor Fund was reorganized with the Fund (the "Reorganization"). The purpose of this transaction was to combine two funds with similar investment objectives and strategies.

This tax-free Reorganization was accomplished by exchanging the assets and liabilities of the Predecessor Fund for shares of the Fund. Shareholders holding Class A, Class C and Class Y shares of the Predecessor Fund received Class A, Class C and Class Y shares of the Fund, respectively, in the Reorganization. The investment portfolio of the Predecessor Fund, with an aggregate value of $1,679,359 and an identified cost of $1,494,402 at April 1, 2025, was the principal asset acquired by the Fund.

The Predecessor Fund was the accounting survivor of the Reorganization. Accordingly, the Predecessor Fund's performance and financial history have become the performance and financial history of the Fund.

The Trustees of the fund have authorized the liquidation of the fund. It is anticipated that the fund will be liquidated on or about July 25, 2025 (the "Liquidation Date"). The fund will discontinue accepting requests from new accounts to purchase shares or process exchanges into the fund effective at the close of business on May 23, 2025. The fund will discontinue accepting requests from existing accounts to purchase shares or process exchanges into the fund effective at the close of business on July 18, 2025. Shares purchased through any dividend reinvestment and certain automatic investments will continue to be processed up to the Liquidation Date. The

fund also may accept additional investments from established employer-sponsored retirement plans up to the Liquidation Date.

Prior to the fund's liquidation, all or a substantial portion of the fund's assets may be invested in cash, cash equivalents and debt securities with remaining maturities of less than one year. When invested in such instruments in anticipation of the liquidation, the fund may not be able to achieve its investment objectives.

Shareholders can redeem their shares of the fund at any time prior to liquidation.

### Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement
Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital") serves as the investment adviser to Victory Pioneer Intrinsic Value Fund (the "Fund") pursuant to an investment advisory agreement between Victory Capital and the Fund (the "Investment Advisory Agreement").

The Fund is newly-organized and was established in connection with the reorganization of Pioneer Intrinsic Value Fund (the "Predecessor Fund") into the Fund (the "Reorganization"). The Predecessor Fund and the Fund entered into the Reorganization in connection with the contribution of Amundi Asset Management US, Inc. ("Amundi US"), the Predecessor Fund's investment adviser, to Victory Capital Holdings, Inc. ("Victory Capital Holdings"), the parent company of Victory Capital (the "Transaction"). The Reorganization was approved by shareholders of the Predecessor Fund at a meeting held on March 27, 2025 and was consummated on April 1, 2025.

The Trustees of the Fund, including all of the Independent Trustees, met to consider the Investment Advisory Agreement at an in-person meeting held on December 16, 2024. The Independent Trustees also served on the Board of Trustees of the Predecessor Fund.

To assist the Trustees in their consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, Victory Capital provided extensive information to the Trustees regarding the Reorganization, the Transaction and the investment advisory services to be provided by Victory Capital under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Before and during the December 16, 2024 meeting, the Trustees sought additional information as they deemed necessary and appropriate. In connection with their consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Independent Trustees worked with their independent legal counsel to prepare requests for additional information that were submitted to Victory Capital and Amundi US. The Trustees' requests for information sought information relevant to the Trustees' consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement and anticipated impacts of the Reorganization and the Transaction on the Fund and its shareholders. The Independent Trustees met with senior management representatives of Victory Capital and Amundi US on numerous occasions to discuss various aspects of the Reorganization and the Transaction, to review information provided to assist the Independent Trustees in their consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Reorganization and the Transaction, and to make supplemental due diligence requests for additional information from Victory Capital and Amundi US with respect to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Reorganization and the

Transaction. Victory Capital and Amundi US provided documents and information in response to the requests from the Independent Trustees, as well as made presentations to, and responded to questions from, the Independent Trustees.

Prior to voting on the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Independent Trustees reviewed the Reorganization, the Transaction and the Investment Advisory Agreement with representatives of Amundi US and Victory Capital, counsel to the Fund and counsel to the Independent Trustees. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the Reorganization, the Transaction and the Investment Advisory Agreement with their independent legal counsel in private sessions at which no representatives of Amundi US, Victory Capital or counsel to the Fund were present.

The Trustees' evaluation of the Investment Advisory Agreement reflected information provided specifically in connection with their review of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as well as, where relevant, information that was previously furnished to the Independent Trustees in connection with the renewal of the Predecessor Fund's investment advisory agreement with Amundi US (the "Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement") at an in-person meeting of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held on September 17, 2024 and at other meetings of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees throughout the prior year.

Among other things, the Trustees considered:

(i) that, in the Transaction, Amundi US would be combined into Victory Capital Holdings in exchange for shares of Victory Capital Holdings issued to Amundi Asset Management S.A.S. ("Amundi"), the parent company of Amundi US, without Amundi becoming a controlling stockholder of Victory Capital Holdings, and that Victory Capital Holdings and Amundi would establish a long-term reciprocal distribution partnership;

(ii) representations by Victory Capital regarding the reputation, experience, financial strength and resources of Victory Capital and its investment franchises;

(iii) that Victory Capital informed the Trustees that the portfolio managers of the Predecessor Fund were expected to continue to act as portfolio managers of the Fund following the consummation of the Reorganization as members of Pioneer Investments, a planned Victory Capital investment franchise, managing the Fund using the same investment approach under which the Predecessor Fund was managed, and the Trustees considered the historical investment performance record of the Predecessor Fund under such investment approach;

(iv) the non-investment resources, infrastructure and personnel of Victory Capital that would be involved in Victory Capital's services to the Fund, including Victory Capital's legal and operational structure, risk management, administrative, legal, compliance and cybersecurity functions;

(v) Victory Capital's distribution capabilities, including its significant network of intermediary relationships, which may provide additional opportunities for the Fund to grow assets and lower fees and expenses through increased economies of scale;

(vi) Victory Capital's broad distribution network and a large fund family of Victory Funds may also provide opportunities for asset growth for the Fund and economies of scale through the potential to negotiate lower fee rates from service providers and to determine based on the assets of the entire Victory Fund complex;

(vii) the fact that the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Fund would be the same as the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Predecessor Fund;

(viii) the fact that the Independent Trustees received full comparative fee and expense data in connection with their approval of the continuance of the Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement at the in-person meeting of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held on September 17, 2024;

(ix) that Victory Capital agreed with the Trustees that, for at least three years after the closing of the Reorganization, Victory Capital would waive fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the Fund's total net annual operating expenses (excluding certain customary items) does not exceed the lower of (i) the total net annual operating expenses associated with investing in the Predecessor Fund after application of expense limitation arrangements in effect for the Predecessor Fund, if any, or (ii) the total net annual operating expenses of the Predecessor Fund as of the end of the Predecessor Fund's most recent fiscal year at the time of the closing of the Reorganization, and that the contractual expense limitation agreement permits Victory Capital to recoup advisory fees waived and expenses reimbursed for up to two years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement took place, subject to the lesser of any operating expense limitation in effect at the time of: (1) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (2) recoupment, after giving effect to the recoupment amount;

(x) that the investment objective, principal investment strategies and principal risks of the Fund are the same as those of the Predecessor Fund;

(xi) that Victory Capital had acquired and integrated several investment management companies;

(xii) that Victory Capital had agreed to conduct, and use reasonable best efforts to cause its affiliates to conduct, its business in compliance with Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act so as not to impose an "unfair burden" on the Fund; and

(xiii) the potential benefits to the shareholders of the Fund, including continuity of portfolio management and operating efficiencies due to the greater scale of Victory Capital that may be achieved from the Reorganization.

Certain of these considerations are discussed in more detail below.

The Trustees also requested, obtained and considered the following information in connection with their evaluation of the Reorganization, the Transaction and the Investment Advisory Agreement for the Fund: (i) memoranda provided by Fund counsel that summarized the legal standards and other considerations that are relevant to the Trustees in their deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement; and (ii) the financial statements of Victory Capital, a profitability analysis provided by Victory Capital, and an analysis from Victory Capital as to possible economies of scale. The Independent Trustees further considered materials provided in connection with their review of the Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement, including information regarding the qualifications of the investment management team for the Fund, as well as the level of investment by the Fund's portfolio managers in the Fund. In addition, the Independent Trustees considered the information provided at and in connection with regularly scheduled meetings of the Board of Trustees of the Predecessor Fund throughout the year regarding the Predecessor Fund's performance and risk attributes, including through meetings with investment management personnel, and took into account other information related to the Predecessor Fund provided to the Independent Trustees at regularly scheduled meetings.

At the December 16, 2024 meeting, based on their evaluation of the information provided, the Trustees including the Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the Investment Advisory Agreement. In approving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered various factors that they determined were relevant, including the factors described below. The Trustees did not identify any single factor as the controlling factor in their determinations.

#### Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Trustees considered that the Fund is newly-organized and was established in connection with the Reorganization. The Trustees considered that the investment objective, principal investment strategies and principal risks of the Fund are the same as those of the Predecessor Fund. The Trustees also considered Victory Capital's representation that, under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund would be managed using the same investment approach under which the Predecessor Fund was managed.

The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services that had been provided by Amundi US to the Predecessor Fund and that were expected to be provided by Victory Capital to the Fund following the consummation of the Reorganization, taking into account the investment objective and principal investment strategies of the Fund.

The Trustees considered information provided by Victory Capital regarding its business and operating structure, scale of operations, leadership and reputation. The Trustees also considered the capabilities, resources, and personnel of Victory Capital, in order to determine whether Victory Capital is capable of providing at least the same level of investment management services provided to the Predecessor Fund. The Trustees received information regarding Victory Capital's plans to integrate Amundi US investment personnel into Victory Capital as members of Pioneer Investments, a Victory Capital investment franchise. The Independent Trustees noted that they had considered the qualifications of the portfolio managers at Amundi US at meetings of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held prior to September 17, 2024.

The Trustees considered the non-investment resources, infrastructure and personnel of Victory Capital that would be involved in Victory Capital's services to the Fund, including Victory Capital's compliance, risk management, cybersecurity and legal resources and personnel. The Trustees also reviewed information provided by Victory Capital related to its business, legal, and regulatory affairs, including information regarding the resources available to Victory Capital to provide the services specified under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also considered Victory Capital's financial condition, and noted that Victory Capital was expected to be able to provide a high level of service to the Fund and continuously invest and re-invest in its investment management business.

The Trustees considered that Amundi US supervised and monitored the performance of the Predecessor Fund's service providers and provided the Predecessor Fund with personnel (including Fund officers) and other resources that were necessary for the Predecessor Fund's business

management and operations, and considered the personnel and resources that Victory Capital proposed to provide with respect to such services for the Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also considered that, as administrator, Amundi US was responsible for the administration of the Predecessor Fund's business and other affairs and that, following the Reorganization, Victory Capital would be responsible for the administration of the Fund's business and other affairs. The Trustees considered that the fees Victory Capital would charge for administration services were higher than the fees that Amundi US received as reimbursement for services rendered, and considered Victory Capital's explanation of the reasons for the differences in administration fees charged by Victory Capital and Amundi US as well as the expense limitation arrangement proposed to be implemented for the Fund for at least three years following the completion of the Reorganization.

Based on these considerations, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services that Victory Capital would provide to the Fund would be satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement.

#### Performance of the Fund
The Fund is newly-organized and does not have a performance history. The Trustees considered that the Fund succeeded to the performance history of the Predecessor Fund in the Reorganization. In considering the Predecessor Fund's performance, the Independent Trustees regularly reviewed and discussed throughout the year data and information comparing the Predecessor Fund's performance with the performance of its peer group of funds, as classified by Morningstar, Inc. (Morningstar), and with the performance of the Predecessor Fund's benchmark index. They also discussed the Predecessor Fund's performance with the Predecessor Fund's portfolio managers on a regular basis. The Independent Trustees' regular reviews and discussions with respect to the Predecessor Fund were factored into the Trustees' deliberations concerning the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement.

In addition, the Trustees considered that the Predecessor Fund's portfolio managers were expected to continue to act as portfolio managers of the Fund following the consummation of the Reorganization as members of Pioneer Investments, a Victory Capital investment franchise. The Trustees also considered that the investment objective and principal investment strategies of the Fund are the same as those of the Predecessor Fund.

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_Amund_a5923388-a167-4fc3-9802-f661a6991af9_TOC)

#### Advisory Fee and Expenses
The Independent Trustees considered that the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement would be the same as the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Predecessor Fund. The Independent Trustees also considered that, for at least three years after the close of the Reorganization, Victory Capital had agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of the Fund so that its total net operating expenses (excluding certain customary items) does not exceed the lower of (i) the total net annual operating expenses associated with investing in the Predecessor Fund after application of expense limitation arrangements in effect for the Predecessor Fund, if any, or (ii) the total net annual operating expenses of the Predecessor Fund as of the end of the Predecessor Fund's most recent fiscal year, at the time of the closing of the Reorganization. The Independent Trustees also considered that they had received full comparative fee and expense data in connection with their approval of the continuance of the Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement at the in-person meeting of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held on September 17, 2024. The Trustees concluded that the proposed advisory fee payable by the Fund to Victory Capital was reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of services to be provided by Victory Capital.

#### Profitability
The Trustees considered information provided by Victory Capital regarding the estimated profitability of Victory Capital with respect to the advisory services proposed to be provided by Victory Capital to the Fund, including the methodology used by Victory Capital in allocating certain of its costs to the management of the Fund. The Trustees also considered Victory Capital's estimated profit margins in connection with the overall operation of the Fund. The Trustees considered the investments Victory Capital expected to make to support and grow the Pioneer funds brand and the costs to integrate the Amundi US/Pioneer Funds business into Victory Capital. The Trustees also considered information regarding Victory Capital's profit margins with respect to the funds it currently manages. The Trustees considered Victory Capital's representation that the fully integrated Amundi US/Pioneer Funds business, including investments to support ongoing growth, was expected to have a positive impact on Victory Capital's overall financial profitability. The Trustees considered Victory Capital's current profit margins in comparison to the limited industry data available and noted that the profitability of any adviser was affected by numerous factors, including its organizational structure and method for

------

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_Amund_a5923388-a167-4fc3-9802-f661a6991af9_TOC)

allocating expenses. The Trustees concluded that Victory Capital's estimated profitability with respect to the management of the Fund was not unreasonable.

#### Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the extent to which Victory Capital may realize economies of scale or other efficiencies in managing and supporting the Fund. The Trustees noted the breakpoints in the management fee schedule. The Trustees recognize that economies of scale are difficult to identify and quantify, and that, among other factors that may be relevant, are the following: fee levels, expense subsidization, investment by Victory Capital in research and analytical capabilities and Victory Capital's commitment and resource allocation to the Fund. The Trustees noted that profitability also may be an indicator of the availability of any economies of scale, although profitability may vary for other reasons including due to reductions in expenses. The Trustees concluded that economies of scale, if any, would be appropriately shared with the Fund.

#### Other Benefits
The Trustees considered the other benefits that Victory Capital may enjoy from its relationship with the Fund. The Trustees considered the character and amount of fees to be paid by the Fund, other than under the Investment Advisory Agreement, for services to be provided by Victory Capital and its affiliates. The Trustees further considered the revenues and profitability of Victory Capital's businesses other than the Fund business. To the extent applicable, the Trustees also considered the potential benefits to the Fund and to Victory Capital and its affiliates from the use of "soft" commission dollars generated by the Fund to pay for research and brokerage services.

The Trustees noted that the completion of the Transaction would result in a long-term reciprocal distribution partnership between Amundi and Victory Capital, and that Victory Capital may benefit from Amundi's ability to market the services of Victory Capital globally, including in an increase of the overall scale of Victory Capital. The Trustees considered that the Transaction would significantly increase Victory Capital's assets under management and expand Victory Capital's investment capabilities. The Trustees considered that this increased size and diversification could facilitate Victory Capital's continued investment in its business and products, which Victory Capital would be able to leverage across a broader base of assets. The Trustees considered that Victory Capital and the Fund are expected to receive reciprocal intangible benefits from the relationship,

including mutual brand recognition. The Trustees concluded that any such benefits received by Victory Capital as a result of its relationship with the Fund were reasonable.

#### Conclusion
After consideration of the factors described above as well as other factors, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the Investment Advisory Agreement, including the fees payable thereunder, was fair and reasonable and voted to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement.

### Notes to Financial Statements \| 3/31/25
(unaudited)

1. Organization and Signiﬁcant Accounting Policies

Victory Pioneer Global Value Fund (the "Fund") is one of 29 portfolios comprising Victory Portfolios IV (the "Trust"), a Delaware statutory trust. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") as a diversified, open end management investment company. The Fund, which commenced operations on April 1, 2025, is the successor to Pioneer Global Sustainable Value Fund (the "Predecessor Fund") and, accordingly, the Predecessor Fund's performance and financial history have become the performance and financial history of the Fund. The Predecessor Fund transferred all of the net assets of Class A, Class C and Class Y shares in exchange for the Fund's Class A, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively, on April 1, 2025 pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization (the "Reorganization") which was approved by the shareholders of the Predecessor Fund on March 27, 2025. Accordingly, the Reorganization, which was a tax-free exchange, had no effect on the Fund's operations. The Fund's investment objective is to seek long-term capital growth.

The Fund offers three classes of shares designated as Class A, Class C and Class Y shares. Class A, Class C and Class Y commenced operations on May 10, 2021. Each class of shares represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments of the Fund and has identical rights (based on relative net asset values) to assets and liquidation proceeds. Share classes can bear different rates of class-specific fees and expenses, such as transfer agent and distribution fees. Differences in class specific fees and expenses will result in differences in net investment income and, therefore, the payment of different dividends from net investment income earned by each class. The Second Amended and Restated Trust Instrument of the Trust gives the Board of Trustees the flexibility to specify either per-share voting or dollar-weighted voting when submitting matters for shareholder approval. Under per-share voting, each share of a class of the Fund is entitled to one vote. Under dollar-weighted voting, a shareholder's voting power is determined not by the number of shares owned, but by the dollar value of the shares on the record date. Each share class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters affecting only that class, including with respect to the distribution plan for that class. There is no distribution plan for Class Y shares.

During the periods covered by these financial statements, Amundi Asset Management US, Inc., an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Amundi and Amundi's wholly owned subsidiary, Amundi USA, Inc., served as the

Fund's investment adviser ("Amundi US"). Effective April 1, 2025, Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital" or "the Adviser") serves as the Fund's investment adviser. See Note 6. During the periods covered by these financial statements, Amundi Distributor US, Inc., an affiliate of the Amundi US, served as the Fund's distributor (the "Distributor").

The Fund is required to comply with Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, which governs the use of derivatives by registered investment companies. Rule 18f-4 permits funds to enter into derivatives transactions (as defined in Rule 18f-4) and certain other transactions notwithstanding the restrictions on the issuance of "senior securities" under Section 18 of the 1940 Act. In accordance with Rule 18f-4, the Fund has established and maintains a comprehensive derivatives risk management program, has appointed a derivatives risk manager and complies with a relative or absolute limit on fund leverage risk calculated based on value-at-risk ("VaR").

The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07) during the period. The Fund's adoption of the new standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Fund's financial position or results of operations. The Fund's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has been identified as the Chief Operations Decision Maker (CODM) who assesses performance and allocates resources with respect to the Fund. The Fund's operations constitute a single operating segment and therefore, a single reportable segment, because the Fund has a single investment strategy as disclosed in its prospectus, against which the CODM manages the business activities using information of the Fund as a whole, and assesses performance of the Fund. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is the same as that presented within the Fund's financial statements.

The Fund is an investment company and follows investment company accounting and reporting guidance under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP"). U.S. GAAP requires the management of the Fund to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the ﬁnancial statements, and the reported amounts of income, expenses and gain or loss on investments during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The following is a summary of signiﬁcant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its ﬁnancial statements:

|:---|:---|
| **A.** | **Security Valuation** |
|  | The net asset value of the Fund is computed once daily, on each day the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open, as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE. |
|  | Equity securities that have traded on an exchange are valued by using the last sale price on the principal exchange where they are traded. Equity securities that have not traded on the date of valuation, or securities for which sale prices are not available, generally are valued using the mean between the last bid and asked prices or, if both last bid and asked prices are not available, at the last quoted bid price. Last sale and bid and asked prices are provided by independent third party pricing services. In the case of equity securities not traded on an exchange, prices are typically determined by independent third party pricing services using a variety of techniques and methods. |
|  | The value of foreign securities is translated into U.S. dollars based on foreign currency exchange rate quotations supplied by a third party pricing source. Trading in non-U.S. equity securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of such times. The Adviser may use a fair value model developed by an independent pricing service to value non-U.S. equity securities. |
|  | Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued daily using the foreign exchange rate or, for longer term forward contract positions, the spot currency rate and the forward points on a daily basis, in each case provided by a third party pricing service. Contracts whose forward settlement date falls between two quoted days are valued by interpolation. |
|  | Securities for which independent pricing services or broker-dealers are unable to supply prices or for which market prices and/or quotations are not readily available or are considered to be unreliable are valued by a fair valuation team comprised of certain personnel of the Adviser. The Adviser is designated as the valuation designee for the Fund pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Adviser's fair valuation team is responsible for monitoring developments that may impact fair valued securities. |
|  | Inputs used when applying fair value methods to value a security may include credit ratings, the financial condition of the company, current market conditions and comparable securities. The Adviser may use fair value methods if it is determined that a significant event has occurred |

|  | after the close of the exchange or market on which the security trades and prior to the determination of the Fund's net asset value. Examples of a significant event might include political or economic news, corporate restructurings, natural disasters, terrorist activity or trading halts. Thus, the valuation of the Fund's securities may differ significantly from exchange prices, and such differences could be material. |
| **B.** | **Investment Income and Transactions** |
|  | Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are recorded as soon as the Fund becomes aware of the ex-dividend data in the exercise of reasonable diligence. |
|  | Interest income, including interest on income-bearing cash accounts, is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend and interest income are reported net of unrecoverable foreign taxes withheld at the applicable country rates and net of income accrued on defaulted securities. |
|  | Interest and dividend income payable by delivery of additional shares is reclassified as PIK (payment-in-kind) income upon receipt and is included in interest and dividend income, respectively. |
|  | Security transactions are recorded as of trade date. Gains and losses on sales of investments are calculated on the identified cost method for both financial reporting and federal income tax purposes. |
| **C.** | **Foreign Currency Translation** |
|  | The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates. |
|  | Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions, if any, represent, among other things, the net realized gains and losses on foreign currency exchange contracts, disposition of foreign currencies and the difference between the amount of income accrued and the U.S. dollars actually received. Further, the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments are not segregated on the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in the market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. |

|:---|:---|
| **D.** | **Federal Income Taxes** |
|  | It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net taxable income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. As of March 31, 2025, the Fund did not accrue any interest or penalties with respect to uncertain tax positions, which, if applicable, would be recorded as an income tax expense on the Statement of Operations. Tax returns filed within the prior three years remain subject to examination by federal and state tax authorities. |
|  | The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Distributions in excess of net investment income or net realized gains are temporary over distributions for financial statement purposes resulting from differences in the recognition or classification of income or distributions for financial statement and tax purposes. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character, but are not adjusted for temporary differences. |
|  | The tax character of current year distributions payable will be determined at the end of the current taxable year. The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended September 30, 2024 was as follows: |

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **2024** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Distributions paid from:** |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Ordinary income | $59395 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Total** | **$59395** |

The following shows the components of distributable earnings (losses) on a federal income tax basis at September 30, 2024:

|:---|:---|
|  | **2024** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Distributable earnings/(losses):** |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Undistributed ordinary income | $82121 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Undistributed long-term capital gains | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;72815 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Net unrealized appreciation | &nbsp;&nbsp;481073 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Total** | **$636009** |

---

The differences between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation are attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and the mark to market of passive foreign income companies.

| **E.** | **Fund Shares** |
|  | The Fund records sales and repurchases of its shares as of trade date. The Amundi Distributors US, Inc., the Predecessor Fund's distributor, earned $282 in underwriting commissions on the sale of Class A shares during the six months ended March 31, 2025. |
| **F.** | **Class Allocations** |
|  | Income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are calculated at the Fund level and allocated daily to each class of shares based on its respective percentage of adjusted net assets at the beginning of the day. |
|  | Distribution fees are calculated based on the average daily net asset value attributable to Class A and Class C shares of the Fund, respectively (see Note 5). Class Y shares of the Predecessor Fund did not pay distribution fees. All expenses and fees paid to the Fund's transfer agent for its services are allocated among the classes of shares based on the number of accounts in each class and the ratable allocation of related out-of-pocket expenses (see Note 4). |
|  | During the periods covered by these financial statements, distributions to shareholders were recorded as of the ex-dividend date. During the periods covered by these financial statements, distributions paid by the Predecessor Fund with respect to each class of shares were calculated in the same manner and at the same time, except that net investment income dividends to Class A, Class C and Class Y shares of the Predecessor Fund reflected different transfer agent and distribution expense rates. |
| **G.** | **Risks** |
|  | The value of securities held by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic, political or regulatory conditions, recessions, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, inflation, changes in interest rates, armed conflict such as between Russia and Ukraine or in the Middle East, sanctions against Russia, other nations or individuals or companies and possible countermeasures, lack of liquidity in the bond markets or adverse investor sentiment. In the past several years, financial markets have experienced increased volatility, depressed valuations, decreased liquidity and heightened uncertainty. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread. Inflation and interest rates may increase. These circumstances could |

|:---|
| adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Fund's investments and negatively impact the Fund's performance. |
| Some sectors of the economy and individual issuers have experienced or may experience particularly large losses. Periods of extreme volatility in the financial markets, reduced liquidity of many instruments, increased government debt, inflation, and disruptions to supply chains, consumer demand and employee availability, may continue for some time. Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Russian securities lost all, or nearly all, their market value. Other securities or markets could be similarly affected by past or future political, geopolitical or other events or conditions. |
| Governments and central banks, including the U.S. Federal Reserve, have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. These actions have resulted in significant expansion of public debt, including in the U.S. The consequences of high public debt, including its future impact on the economy and securities markets, may not be known for some time. |
| The U.S. and other countries are periodically involved in disputes over trade and other matters, which may result in tariffs, investment restrictions and adverse impacts on affected companies and securities. For example, the U.S. has imposed tariffs and other trade barriers on Chinese exports, has restricted sales of certain categories of goods to China, and has established barriers to investments in China. Trade disputes may adversely affect the economies of the U.S. and its trading partners, as well as companies directly or indirectly affected and financial markets generally. If the political climate between the U.S. and China does not improve or continues to deteriorate, if China enters into military conflict with Taiwan, the Philippines or another neighbor, or if other geopolitical conflicts develop or get worse, economies, markets and individual securities may be severely affected both regionally and globally, and the value of the Fund's assets may go down. |
| At times, the Fund's investments may represent industries or industry sectors that are interrelated or have common risks, making the Fund more susceptible to any economic, political, or regulatory developments or other risks affecting those industries and sectors. |
| Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of borrowings, if any, for investment purposes) in securities of issuers that the Adviser believes adhere to the Fund's ESG criteria. The Fund's ESG criteria exclude securities of issuers in certain industries, and the Adviser considers ESG factors in making investment decisions. Excluding specific issuers limits the universe of |

| investments available to the Fund as compared with other funds that do not consider ESG criteria or ESG factors, which may mean forgoing some investment opportunities available to funds that do not consider ESG criteria or ESG factors. Accordingly, the Fund may underperform other funds that do not utilize an investment strategy that considers ESG criteria or ESG factors. However, the strategy of seeking to identify companies with sustainable business models is believed to provide potential return and risk benefits, including the selection of issuers with fewer ESG-related risks. In considering ESG factors, the Adviser may use third party ESG ratings information that it believes to be reliable, but such information may not be accurate or complete, or may be biased. |
| The Fund may invest in small and mid-sized companies. Compared to large companies, small and mid-sized companies, and the market for their equity securities, may be more sensitive to changes in earnings results and investor expectations or poor economic or market conditions, including those experienced during a recession, have more limited product lines, operating histories, markets or capital resources, may be dependent upon a limited management group, experience sharper swings in market values, have limited liquidity, be harder to value or to sell at the times and prices the Adviser thinks appropriate, and offer greater potential for gain and loss. |
| Normally, the Fund invests at least a minimum percentage of its net assets in issuers located outside of the United States. The Fund's investments in foreign markets and countries with limited developing markets may subject the Fund to a greater degree of risk than investments in a developed market. These risks include disruptive political or economic conditions, military conflicts and sanctions, terrorism, sustained economic downturns, financial instability, less liquid trading markets, extreme price volatility, currency risks, reduction of government or central bank support, inadequate accounting standards, tariffs, tax disputes or other tax burdens, nationalization or expropriation of assets, and the imposition of adverse governmental laws, arbitrary application of laws and regulations or lack of rule of law and investment and repatriation restrictions. Lack of information and less market regulation also may affect the value of these securities. Withholding and other non-U.S. taxes may decrease the Fund's return. Non-U.S. issuers may be located in parts of the world that have historically been prone to natural disasters. Investing in depositary receipts is subject to many of the same risks as investing directly in non-U.S. issuers. Depositary receipts may involve higher expenses and may trade at a discount (or premium) to the underlying security. |

| Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. In response to the military action by Russia, various countries, including the U.S., the United Kingdom, and European Union issued broad-ranging economic sanctions against Russia and Belarus and certain companies and individuals. Since then, Russian securities lost all, or nearly all, their market value, and many other issuers, securities and markets have been adversely affected. The United States and other countries may impose sanctions on other countries, companies and individuals in light of Russia's military invasion. The extent and duration of the military action or future escalation of such hostilities, the extent and impact of existing and future sanctions, market disruptions and volatility, and the result of any diplomatic negotiations cannot be predicted. These and any related events could have a significant impact on the value and liquidity of certain Fund investments, on Fund performance and the value of an investment in the Fund, particularly with respect to securities and commodities, such as oil, natural gas and food commodities, as well as other sectors with exposure to Russian issuers or issuers in other countries affected by the invasion, and are likely to have collateral impacts on market sectors globally. |
| With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet to conduct business, the Fund is susceptible to operational, information security and related risks. While the Adviser has established business continuity plans in the event of, and risk management systems to prevent, limit or mitigate, such cyber-attacks, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems, including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified. Furthermore, the Fund cannot control the cybersecurity plans and systems put in place by service providers to the Fund such as the Fund's custodian and accounting agent, and the Fund's transfer agent. In addition, many beneficial owners of Fund shares hold them through accounts at broker-dealers, retirement platforms and other financial market participants over which neither the Fund nor the Adviser exercises control. Each of these may in turn rely on service providers to them, which are also subject to the risk of cyber-attacks. Cybersecurity failures or breaches at the Adviser or the Fund's service providers or intermediaries have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, interference with the Fund's ability to calculate its net asset value, impediments to trading, the inability of Fund shareholders to effect share purchases, redemptions or exchanges or receive distributions, loss of or unauthorized access to private shareholder information and violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, or additional compliance costs. Such costs and losses may not be covered under any insurance. In addition, maintaining vigilance against cyber- |

attacks may involve substantial costs over time, and system enhancements may themselves be subject to cyber-attacks. <br> The Fund's prospectus contains unaudited information regarding the Fund's principal risks. Please refer to that document when considering the Fund's principal risks.

2. Investment Advisory Agreement

The Adviser manages the Fund's portfolio. Management fees payable under the Fund's Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser are calculated daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.65% of the Fund's average daily net assets up to $1 billion and 0.60% of the Fund's average daily net assets over $1 billion. Prior to the Reorganization, Amundi Asset Management US, Inc. ("Amundi US") served as the investment adviser of the Predecessor Fund. Under an investment management agreement with Amundi US, the Predecessor Fund paid management fees at the annual rate of 0.65% of the Fund's average daily net assets up to $1 billion and 0.60% of the Fund's average daily net assets over $1 billion. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, the effective management fee (excluding waivers and/or assumption of expenses) was equivalent to 0.65% (annualized) of the Fund's average daily net assets.

The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and/or reimburse expenses so that the total annual fund operating expenses (excluding certain items such as interest, taxes, brokerage commissions) do not exceed 1.00%, 1.71% and 0.70% of the Fund's Class A, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively. These expense limitations are in effect through April 1, 2028. The Adviser is permitted to recoup advisory fees waived and expenses reimbursed for up to two years after the date of the waiver or reimbursement, subject to the lesser of any operating expense limits in effect at the time of (a) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (b) the recoupment, after giving effect to the recoupment amount. The agreement may only be terminated by the Fund's Board of Trustees. There can be no assurance that the Adviser will extend the expense limitation agreement for a class of shares beyond the date referred to above.

Prior to the Reorganization, Amundi US contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse ordinary operating expenses (ordinary operating expenses means all fund expenses other than taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation) of the Fund to the extent required to reduce Fund expenses to 1.00%, 1.75% and 0.70% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively. These expense limitations were in effect during the six months ended March 31, 2025. Fees waived and expenses

reimbursed during the six months ended March 31, 2025 are reflected on the Statement of Operations.

In addition, under the Predecessor Fund's management and administration agreements with Amundi US, certain other services and costs, including accounting, regulatory reporting and insurance premiums, were paid by the Predecessor Fund as administrative reimbursements. Reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities is $696 in management fees payable to the Adviser at March 31, 2025.

3. Compensation of Officers and Trustees

The Fund pays an annual fee to its Trustees. Except for the chief compliance officer, the Fund does not pay any salary or other compensation to its officers. The Fund pays a portion of the chief compliance officer's compensation for his services as the Fund's chief compliance officer. The Adviser pays the remaining portion of the chief compliance officer's compensation. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, the Predecessor Fund paid $3,756 in Officers' and Trustees' compensation, which is reflected on the Statement of Operations as Officers' and Trustees' fees. At March 31, 2025, on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities, the Predecessor Fund had a payable for Trustees' fees of $1 and a payable for administrative expenses of $75, which includes the payable for Officers' compensation.

4. Transfer Agent

BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. serves as the transfer agent to the Fund and the Predecessor Fund at negotiated rates. Transfer agent fees and payables shown on the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, respectively, include sub-transfer agent expenses incurred through the Predecessor Fund's omnibus relationship contracts.

In addition, during the periods covered by the financial statements the Predecessor Fund reimbursed the transfer agent for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the transfer agent related to shareholder communications activities such as proxy and statement mailings, and outgoing phone calls. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, such out-of-pocket expenses by class of shares were as follows:

5. Distribution Plan

The Predecessor Fund adopted a distribution plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 with respect to its Class A and Class C shares. Pursuant to the Plan, the Predecessor Fund paid its distributor the Distributor 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares as compensation for personal services and/or account maintenance services or distribution services with regard to Class A shares. Pursuant to the Plan, the Predecessor Fund also paid its distributor 1.00% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares. The fee for Class C shares consisted of a 0.25% service fee and a 0.75% distribution fee paid as compensation for personal services and/or account maintenance services or distribution services with regard to Class C shares. Reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities is $380 in distribution fees payable to the Amundi Distributors US, Inc., the Predecessor Fund's distributor, at March 31, 2025.

In addition, redemptions of Class A and Class C shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC"). A CDSC of 1.00% may be imposed on redemptions of certain net asset value purchases of Class A shares within 12 months of purchase. Redemptions of Class C shares within 12 months of purchase are subject to a CDSC of 1.00%, based on the lower of cost or market value of shares being redeemed. Shares purchased as part of an exchange remain subject to any CDSC that applied to the original purchase of those shares. There is no CDSC for Class Y shares. Proceeds from the CDSCs were paid to the Predecessor Fund's distributor. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, CDSCs in the amount of $2,205 were paid to Amundi Distributor US, Inc, the Predecessor Fund's distributor.

6. Subsequent Event

On April 1, 2025 (the "Closing Date"), the Predecessor Fund was reorganized with the Fund (the "Reorganization"). The purpose of this transaction was to combine two funds with similar investment objectives and strategies.

This tax-free Reorganization was accomplished by exchanging the assets and liabilities of the Predecessor Fund for shares of the Fund. Shareholders holding Class A, Class C and Class Y shares of the Predecessor Fund received Class A, Class C and Class Y shares of the Fund, respectively, in the Reorganization. The investment portfolio of the Predecessor Fund, with an aggregate value of $2,973,505 and an identified cost of $2,595,454 at April 1, 2025, was the principal asset acquired by the Fund.

The Predecessor Fund was the accounting survivor of the Reorganization. Accordingly, the Predecessor Fund's performance and financial history have become the performance and financial history of the Fund.

The Trustees of the fund have authorized the liquidation of the fund. It is anticipated that the fund will be liquidated on or about July 25, 2025 (the "Liquidation Date"). The fund will discontinue accepting requests from new accounts to purchase shares or process exchanges into the fund effective at the close of business on May 23, 2025. The fund will discontinue accepting requests from existing accounts to purchase shares or process exchanges into the fund effective at the close of business on July 18, 2025. Shares purchased through any dividend reinvestment and certain automatic investments will continue to be processed up to the Liquidation Date. The fund also may accept additional investments from established employer-sponsored retirement plans up to the Liquidation Date.

Prior to the fund's liquidation, all or a substantial portion of the fund's assets may be invested in cash, cash equivalents and debt securities with remaining maturities of less than one year. When invested in such instruments in anticipation of the liquidation, the fund may not be able to achieve its investment objectives.

Shareholders can redeem their shares of the fund at any time prior to liquidation.

### Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement
Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital") serves as the investment adviser to Victory Pioneer Global Value Fund (the "Fund") pursuant to an investment advisory agreement between Victory Capital and the Fund (the "Investment Advisory Agreement").

The Fund is newly-organized and was established in connection with the reorganization of Pioneer Global Sustainable Value Fund (the "Predecessor Fund") into the Fund (the "Reorganization"). The Predecessor Fund and the Fund entered into the Reorganization in connection with the contribution of Amundi Asset Management US, Inc. ("Amundi US"), the Predecessor Fund's investment adviser, to Victory Capital Holdings, Inc. ("Victory Capital Holdings"), the parent company of Victory Capital (the "Transaction"). The Reorganization was approved by shareholders of the Predecessor Fund at a meeting held on March 27, 2025 and was consummated on April 1, 2025.

The Trustees of the Fund, including all of the Independent Trustees, met to consider the Investment Advisory Agreement at an in-person meeting held on December 16, 2024. The Independent Trustees also served on the Board of Trustees of the Predecessor Fund.

To assist the Trustees in their consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, Victory Capital provided extensive information to the Trustees regarding the Reorganization, the Transaction and the investment advisory services to be provided by Victory Capital under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Before and during the December 16, 2024 meeting, the Trustees sought additional information as they deemed necessary and appropriate. In connection with their consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Independent Trustees worked with their independent legal counsel to prepare requests for additional information that were submitted to Victory Capital and Amundi US. The Trustees' requests for information sought information relevant to the Trustees' consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement and anticipated impacts of the Reorganization and the Transaction on the Fund and its shareholders. The Independent Trustees met with senior management representatives of Victory Capital and Amundi US on numerous occasions to discuss various aspects of the Reorganization and the Transaction, to review information provided to assist the Independent Trustees in their consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Reorganization and the Transaction, and to make supplemental due diligence requests for additional information from Victory Capital and Amundi US with respect to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Reorganization and the

Transaction. Victory Capital and Amundi US provided documents and information in response to the requests from the Independent Trustees, as well as made presentations to, and responded to questions from, the Independent Trustees.

Prior to voting on the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Independent Trustees reviewed the Reorganization, the Transaction and the Investment Advisory Agreement with representatives of Amundi US and Victory Capital, counsel to the Fund and counsel to the Independent Trustees. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the Reorganization, the Transaction and the Investment Advisory Agreement with their independent legal counsel in private sessions at which no representatives of Amundi US, Victory Capital or counsel to the Fund were present.

The Trustees' evaluation of the Investment Advisory Agreement reflected information provided specifically in connection with their review of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as well as, where relevant, information that was previously furnished to the Independent Trustees in connection with the renewal of the Predecessor Fund's investment advisory agreement with Amundi US (the "Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement") at an in-person meeting of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held on September 17, 2024 and at other meetings of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees throughout the prior year.

Among other things, the Trustees considered:

(i) that, in the Transaction, Amundi US would be combined into Victory Capital Holdings in exchange for shares of Victory Capital Holdings issued to Amundi Asset Management S.A.S. ("Amundi"), the parent company of Amundi US, without Amundi becoming a controlling stockholder of Victory Capital Holdings, and that Victory Capital Holdings and Amundi would establish a long-term reciprocal distribution partnership;

(ii) representations by Victory Capital regarding the reputation, experience, financial strength and resources of Victory Capital and its investment franchises;

(iii) that Victory Capital informed the Trustees that the portfolio managers of the Predecessor Fund were expected to continue to act as portfolio managers of the Fund following the consummation of the Reorganization as members of Pioneer Investments, a planned Victory Capital investment franchise, managing the Fund using the same investment approach under which the Predecessor Fund was managed, and the Trustees considered the historical investment performance record of the Predecessor Fund under such investment approach;

(iv) the non-investment resources, infrastructure and personnel of Victory Capital that would be involved in Victory Capital's services to the Fund, including Victory Capital's legal and operational structure, risk management, administrative, legal, compliance and cybersecurity functions;

(v) Victory Capital's distribution capabilities, including its significant network of intermediary relationships, which may provide additional opportunities for the Fund to grow assets and lower fees and expenses through increased economies of scale;

(vi) Victory Capital's broad distribution network and a large fund family of Victory Funds may also provide opportunities for asset growth for the Fund and economies of scale through the potential to negotiate lower fee rates from service providers and to determine based on the assets of the entire Victory Fund complex;

(vii) the fact that the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Fund would be the same as the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Predecessor Fund;

(viii) the fact that the Independent Trustees received full comparative fee and expense data in connection with their approval of the continuance of the Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement at the in-person meeting of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held on September 17, 2024;

(ix) that Victory Capital agreed with the Trustees that, for at least three years after the closing of the Reorganization, Victory Capital would waive fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the Fund's total net annual operating expenses (excluding certain customary items) does not exceed the lower of (i) the total net annual operating expenses associated with investing in the Predecessor Fund after application of expense limitation arrangements in effect for the Predecessor Fund, if any, or (ii) the total net annual operating expenses of the Predecessor Fund as of the end of the Predecessor Fund's most recent fiscal year at the time of the closing of the Reorganization, and that the contractual expense limitation agreement permits Victory Capital to recoup advisory fees waived and expenses reimbursed for up to two years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement took place, subject to the lesser of any operating expense limitation in effect at the time of: (1) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (2) recoupment, after giving effect to the recoupment amount;

(x) that the investment objective, principal investment strategies and principal risks of the Fund are the same as those of the Predecessor Fund,

except that the Fund is not required to invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of borrowings, if any, for investment purposes) in securities that Victory Capital believes adhere to "ESG criteria;"

(xi) that Victory Capital had acquired and integrated several investment management companies;

(xii) that Victory Capital had agreed to conduct, and use reasonable best efforts to cause its affiliates to conduct, its business in compliance with Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act so as not to impose an "unfair burden" on the Fund; and

(xiii) the potential benefits to the shareholders of the Fund, including continuity of portfolio management and operating efficiencies due to the greater scale of Victory Capital that may be achieved from the Reorganization.

Certain of these considerations are discussed in more detail below.

The Trustees also requested, obtained and considered the following information in connection with their evaluation of the Reorganization, the Transaction and the Investment Advisory Agreement for the Fund: (i) memoranda provided by Fund counsel that summarized the legal standards and other considerations that are relevant to the Trustees in their deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement; and (ii) the financial statements of Victory Capital, a profitability analysis provided by Victory Capital, and an analysis from Victory Capital as to possible economies of scale. The Independent Trustees further considered materials provided in connection with their review of the Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement, including information regarding the qualifications of the investment management team for the Fund, as well as the level of investment by the Fund's portfolio managers in the Fund. In addition, the Independent Trustees considered the information provided at and in connection with regularly scheduled meetings of the Board of Trustees of the Predecessor Fund throughout the year regarding the Predecessor Fund's performance and risk attributes, including through meetings with investment management personnel, and took into account other information related to the Predecessor Fund provided to the Independent Trustees at regularly scheduled meetings.

At the December 16, 2024 meeting, based on their evaluation of the information provided, the Trustees including the Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the Investment Advisory Agreement. In approving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered various factors that they determined were relevant, including the factors

------

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_Amund_cb27222f-3e72-4edf-ade4-dc70b984b9d7_TOC)

described below. The Trustees did not identify any single factor as the controlling factor in their determinations.

#### Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Trustees considered that the Fund is newly-organized and was established in connection with the Reorganization. The Trustees considered that the investment objective, principal investment strategies and principal risks of the Fund are the same as those of the Predecessor Fund, except that the Fund is not required to invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of borrowings, if any, for investment purposes) in securities that Victory Capital believes adhere to "ESG criteria." The Trustees also considered Victory Capital's representation that, under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund would be managed using the same investment approach under which the Predecessor Fund was managed.

The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services that had been provided by Amundi US to the Predecessor Fund and that were expected to be provided by Victory Capital to the Fund following the consummation of the Reorganization, taking into account the investment objective and principal investment strategies of the Fund.

The Trustees considered information provided by Victory Capital regarding its business and operating structure, scale of operations, leadership and reputation. The Trustees also considered the capabilities, resources, and personnel of Victory Capital, in order to determine whether Victory Capital is capable of providing at least the same level of investment management services provided to the Predecessor Fund. The Trustees received information regarding Victory Capital's plans to integrate Amundi US investment personnel into Victory Capital as members of Pioneer Investments, a Victory Capital investment franchise. The Independent Trustees noted that they had considered the qualifications of the portfolio managers at Amundi US at meetings of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held prior to September 17, 2024.

The Trustees considered the non-investment resources, infrastructure and personnel of Victory Capital that would be involved in Victory Capital's services to the Fund, including Victory Capital's compliance, risk management, cybersecurity and legal resources and personnel. The Trustees also reviewed information provided by Victory Capital related to its business, legal, and regulatory affairs, including information regarding the resources available to Victory Capital to provide the services specified under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also considered Victory Capital's financial condition, and noted that Victory Capital was expected to be able to provide a high level of service to the Fund and continuously invest and re-invest in its investment management business.

32Victory Pioneer Global Value Fund \| Semi-Annual \| 3/31/25

------

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_Amund_cb27222f-3e72-4edf-ade4-dc70b984b9d7_TOC)

The Trustees considered that Amundi US supervised and monitored the performance of the Predecessor Fund's service providers and provided the Predecessor Fund with personnel (including Fund officers) and other resources that were necessary for the Predecessor Fund's business management and operations, and considered the personnel and resources that Victory Capital proposed to provide with respect to such services for the Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also considered that, as administrator, Amundi US was responsible for the administration of the Predecessor Fund's business and other affairs and that, following the Reorganization, Victory Capital would be responsible for the administration of the Fund's business and other affairs. The Trustees considered that the fees Victory Capital would charge for administration services were higher than the fees that Amundi US received as reimbursement for services rendered, and considered Victory Capital's explanation of the reasons for the differences in administration fees charged by Victory Capital and Amundi US as well as the expense limitation arrangement proposed to be implemented for the Fund for at least three years following the completion of the Reorganization.

Based on these considerations, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services that Victory Capital would provide to the Fund would be satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement.

#### Performance of the Trust
The Fund is newly-organized and does not have a performance history. The Trustees considered that the Fund succeeded to the performance history of the Predecessor Fund in the Reorganization. In considering the Predecessor Fund's performance, the Independent Trustees regularly reviewed and discussed throughout the year data and information comparing the Predecessor Fund's performance with the performance of its peer group of funds, as classified by Morningstar, Inc. (Morningstar), and with the performance of the Predecessor Fund's benchmark index. They also discussed the Predecessor Fund's performance with the Predecessor Fund's portfolio managers on a regular basis. The Independent Trustees' regular reviews and discussions with respect to the Predecessor Fund were factored into the Trustees' deliberations concerning the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement.

In addition, the Trustees considered that the Predecessor Fund's portfolio managers were expected to continue to act as portfolio managers of the Fund following the consummation of the Reorganization as members of Pioneer Investments, a Victory Capital investment franchise. The Trustees also considered that the investment objective and principal investment

------

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_Amund_cb27222f-3e72-4edf-ade4-dc70b984b9d7_TOC)

strategies of the Fund are the same as those of the Predecessor Fund, except that the Fund is not required to invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of borrowings, if any, for investment purposes) in securities that the adviser believes adhere to "ESG criteria."

#### Advisory Fee and Expenses
The Independent Trustees considered that the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement would be the same as the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Predecessor Fund. The Independent Trustees also considered that, for at least three years after the close of the Reorganization, Victory Capital had agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of the Fund so that its total net operating expenses (excluding certain customary items) does not exceed the lower of (i) the total net annual operating expenses associated with investing in the Predecessor Fund after application of expense limitation arrangements in effect for the Predecessor Fund, if any, or (ii) the total net annual operating expenses of the Predecessor Fund as of the end of the Predecessor Fund's most recent fiscal year, at the time of the closing of the Reorganization. The Independent Trustees also considered that they had received full comparative fee and expense data in connection with their approval of the continuance of the Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement at the in-person meeting of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held on September 17, 2024. The Trustees concluded that the proposed advisory fee payable by the Fund to Victory Capital was reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of services to be provided by Victory Capital.

#### Profitability
The Trustees considered information provided by Victory Capital regarding the estimated profitability of Victory Capital with respect to the advisory services proposed to be provided by Victory Capital to the Fund, including the methodology used by Victory Capital in allocating certain of its costs to the management of the Fund. The Trustees also considered Victory Capital's estimated profit margins in connection with the overall operation of the Fund. The Trustees considered the investments Victory Capital expected to make to support and grow the Pioneer funds brand and the costs to integrate the Amundi US/Pioneer Funds business into Victory Capital. The Trustees also considered information regarding Victory Capital's profit margins with respect to the funds it currently manages. The Trustees considered Victory Capital's representation that the fully integrated Amundi US/Pioneer Funds business, including investments to support ongoing growth, was expected to have a positive impact on Victory Capital's overall financial profitability. The Trustees considered Victory Capital's current profit margins in comparison to the limited industry data

34Victory Pioneer Global Value Fund \| Semi-Annual \| 3/31/25

------

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_Amund_cb27222f-3e72-4edf-ade4-dc70b984b9d7_TOC)

available and noted that the profitability of any adviser was affected by numerous factors, including its organizational structure and method for allocating expenses. The Trustees concluded that Victory Capital's estimated profitability with respect to the management of the Fund was not unreasonable.

#### Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the extent to which Victory Capital may realize economies of scale or other efficiencies in managing and supporting the Fund. The Trustees noted the breakpoints in the management fee schedule. The Trustees recognize that economies of scale are difficult to identify and quantify, and that, among other factors that may be relevant, are the following: fee levels, expense subsidization, investment by Victory Capital in research and analytical capabilities and Victory Capital's commitment and resource allocation to the Fund. The Trustees noted that profitability also may be an indicator of the availability of any economies of scale, although profitability may vary for other reasons including due to reductions in expenses. The Trustees concluded that economies of scale, if any, would be appropriately shared with the Fund.

#### Other Benefits
The Trustees considered the other benefits that Victory Capital may enjoy from its relationship with the Fund. The Trustees considered the character and amount of fees to be paid by the Fund, other than under the Investment Advisory Agreement, for services to be provided by Victory Capital and its affiliates. The Trustees further considered the revenues and profitability of Victory Capital's businesses other than the Fund business. To the extent applicable, the Trustees also considered the potential benefits to the Fund and to Victory Capital and its affiliates from the use of "soft" commission dollars generated by the Fund to pay for research and brokerage services.

The Trustees noted that the completion of the Transaction would result in a long-term reciprocal distribution partnership between Amundi and Victory Capital, and that Victory Capital may benefit from Amundi's ability to market the services of Victory Capital globally, including in an increase of the overall scale of Victory Capital. The Trustees considered that the Transaction would significantly increase Victory Capital's assets under management and expand Victory Capital's investment capabilities. The Trustees considered that this increased size and diversification could facilitate Victory Capital's continued investment in its business and products, which Victory Capital would be able to leverage across a broader base of assets. The Trustees considered that Victory Capital and the Fund are expected to receive reciprocal intangible benefits from the relationship,

including mutual brand recognition. The Trustees concluded that any such benefits received by Victory Capital as a result of its relationship with the Fund were reasonable.

#### Conclusion
After consideration of the factors described above as well as other factors, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the Investment Advisory Agreement, including the fees payable thereunder, was fair and reasonable and voted to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement.

### Notes to Financial Statements \| 3/31/25
(unaudited)

1. Organization and Signiﬁcant Accounting Policies

Victory Pioneer Global Growth Fund (the "Fund") is one of 29 portfolios comprising Victory Portfolios IV (the "Trust"), a Delaware statutory trust. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") as a diversified, open end management investment company. The Fund, which commenced operations on April 1, 2025, is the successor to Pioneer Global Sustainable Growth Fund (the "Predecessor Fund") and, accordingly, the Predecessor Fund's performance and financial history have become the performance and financial history of the Fund. The Predecessor Fund transferred all of the net assets of Class A, Class C and Class Y shares in exchange for the Fund's Class A, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively, on April 1, 2025 pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization (the "Reorganization") which was approved by the shareholders of the Predecessor Fund on March 27, 2025. Accordingly, the Reorganization, which was a tax-free exchange, had no effect on the Fund's operations. The Fund's investment objective is to seek long-term capital growth.

The Fund offers three classes of shares designated as Class A, Class C and Class Y shares. Class A, Class C and Class Y commenced operations on May 10, 2021. Each class of shares represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments of the Fund and has identical rights (based on relative net asset values) to assets and liquidation proceeds. Share classes can bear different rates of class-specific fees and expenses, such as transfer agent and distribution fees. Differences in class specific fees and expenses will result in differences in net investment income and, therefore, the payment of different dividends from net investment income earned by each class. The Second Amended and Restated Trust Instrument of the Trust gives the Board of Trustees the flexibility to specify either per-share voting or dollar-weighted voting when submitting matters for shareholder approval. Under per-share voting, each share of a class of the Fund is entitled to one vote. Under dollar-weighted voting, a shareholder's voting power is determined not by the number of shares owned, but by the dollar value of the shares on the record date. Each share class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters affecting only that class, including with respect to the distribution plan for that class. There is no distribution plan for Class Y shares.

During the periods covered by these financial statements, Amundi Asset Management US, Inc., an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Amundi and Amundi's wholly owned subsidiary, Amundi USA, Inc., served as the

Fund's investment adviser ("Amundi US"). Effective April 1, 2025, Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital" or "the Adviser") serves as the Fund's investment adviser. See Note 6. During the periods covered by these financial statements, Amundi Distributor US, Inc., an affiliate of the Amundi US, served as the Fund's distributor (the "Distributor").

The Fund is required to comply with Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, which governs the use of derivatives by registered investment companies. Rule 18f-4 permits funds to enter into derivatives transactions (as defined in Rule 18f-4) and certain other transactions notwithstanding the restrictions on the issuance of "senior securities" under Section 18 of the 1940 Act. In accordance with Rule 18f-4, the Fund has established and maintains a comprehensive derivatives risk management program, has appointed a derivatives risk manager and complies with a relative or absolute limit on fund leverage risk calculated based on value-at-risk ("VaR").

The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07) during the period. The Fund's adoption of the new standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Fund's financial position or results of operations. The Fund's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has been identified as the Chief Operations Decision Maker (CODM) who assesses performance and allocates resources with respect to the Fund. The Fund's operations constitute a single operating segment and therefore, a single reportable segment, because the Fund has a single investment strategy as disclosed in its prospectus, against which the CODM manages the business activities using information of the Fund as a whole, and assesses performance of the Fund. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is the same as that presented within the Fund's financial statements.

The Fund is an investment company and follows investment company accounting and reporting guidance under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP"). U.S. GAAP requires the management of the Fund to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the ﬁnancial statements, and the reported amounts of income, expenses and gain or loss on investments during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The following is a summary of signiﬁcant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its ﬁnancial statements:

| **A.** | **Security Valuation** |
|  | The net asset value of the Fund is computed once daily, on each day the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open, as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE. |
|  | Equity securities that have traded on an exchange are valued by using the last sale price on the principal exchange where they are traded. Equity securities that have not traded on the date of valuation, or securities for which sale prices are not available, generally are valued using the mean between the last bid and asked prices or, if both last bid and asked prices are not available, at the last quoted bid price. Last sale and bid and asked prices are provided by independent third party pricing services. In the case of equity securities not traded on an exchange, prices are typically determined by independent third party pricing services using a variety of techniques and methods. |
|  | The value of foreign securities is translated into U.S. dollars based on foreign currency exchange rate quotations supplied by a third party pricing source. Trading in non-U.S. equity securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of such times. The Adviser may use a fair value model developed by an independent pricing service to value non-U.S. equity securities. |
|  | Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued daily using the foreign exchange rate or, for longer term forward contract positions, the spot currency rate and the forward points on a daily basis, in each case provided by a third party pricing service. Contracts whose forward settlement date falls between two quoted days are valued by interpolation. |
|  | Securities or loan interests for which independent pricing services or broker-dealers are unable to supply prices or for which market prices and/or quotations are not readily available or are considered to be unreliable are valued by a fair valuation team comprised of certain personnel of the Adviser. The Adviser is designated as the valuation designee for the Fund pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Adviser's fair valuation team is responsible for monitoring developments that may impact fair valued securities. |
|  | Inputs used when applying fair value methods to value a security may include credit ratings, the financial condition of the company, current market conditions and comparable securities. The Adviser may use fair value methods if it is determined that a significant event has occurred |

|  | after the close of the exchange or market on which the security trades and prior to the determination of the Fund's net asset value. Examples of a significant event might include political or economic news, corporate restructurings, natural disasters, terrorist activity or trading halts. Thus, the valuation of the Fund's securities may differ significantly from exchange prices, and such differences could be material. |
| **B.** | **Investment Income and Transactions** |
|  | Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are recorded as soon as the Fund becomes aware of the ex-dividend data in the exercise of reasonable diligence. |
|  | Interest income, including interest on income-bearing cash accounts, is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend and interest income are reported net of unrecoverable foreign taxes withheld at the applicable country rates and net of income accrued on defaulted securities. |
|  | Interest and dividend income payable by delivery of additional shares is reclassified as PIK (payment-in-kind) income upon receipt and is included in interest and dividend income, respectively. |
|  | Security transactions are recorded as of trade date. Gains and losses on sales of investments are calculated on the identified cost method for both financial reporting and federal income tax purposes. |
| **C.** | **Foreign Currency Translation** |
|  | The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates. |
|  | Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions, if any, represent, among other things, the net realized gains and losses on foreign currency exchange contracts, disposition of foreign currencies and the difference between the amount of income accrued and the U.S. dollars actually received. Further, the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments are not segregated on the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in the market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. |

|:---|:---|
| **D.** | **Federal Income Taxes** |
|  | It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net taxable income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. As of March 31, 2025, the Fund did not accrue any interest or penalties with respect to uncertain tax positions, which, if applicable, would be recorded as an income tax expense on the Statement of Operations. Tax returns filed within the prior three years remain subject to examination by federal and state tax authorities. |
|  | The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Distributions in excess of net investment income or net realized gains are temporary over distributions for financial statement purposes resulting from differences in the recognition or classification of income or distributions for financial statement and tax purposes. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character, but are not adjusted for temporary differences. |
|  | The tax character of current year distributions payable will be determined at the end of the current taxable year. The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended September 30, 2024 was as follows: |

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **2024** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Distributions paid from:** |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Ordinary income | $7877 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Total** | **$7877** |

The following shows the components of distributable earnings (losses) on a federal income tax basis at September 30, 2024:

| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Distributable earnings/(losses):** |  |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;Net unrealized appreciation | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;748744 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Total** | **$574008** |

---

The differences between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation are attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

| **E.** | **Fund Shares** |
|  | The Fund records sales and repurchases of its shares as of trade date. The Amundi Distributors US, Inc., the Predecessor Fund's distributor, earned $21 in underwriting commissions on the sale of Class A shares during the six months ended March 31, 2025. |
| **F.** | **Class Allocations** |
|  | Income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are calculated at the Fund level and allocated daily to each class of shares based on its respective percentage of adjusted net assets at the beginning of the day. |
|  | During the periods covered by these financial statements, distribution fees were calculated based on the average daily net asset value attributable to Class A and Class C shares of the Fund, respectively (see Note 5). Class Y shares of the Predecessor Fund did not pay distribution fees. All expenses and fees paid to the Fund's transfer agent for its services were allocated among the classes of shares based on the number of accounts in each class and the ratable allocation of related out-of-pocket expenses (see Note 4). |
|  | During the periods covered by these financial statements, distributions to shareholders were recorded as of the ex-dividend date. During the periods covered by these financial statements, distributions paid by the Predecessor Fund with respect to each class of shares were calculated in the same manner and at the same time, except that net investment income dividends to Class A, Class C and Class Y shares of the Predecessor Fund reflected different transfer agent and distribution expense rates. |
| **G.** | **Risks** |
|  | The value of securities held by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic, political or regulatory conditions, recessions, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, inflation, changes in interest rates, armed conflict such as between Russia and Ukraine or in the Middle East, sanctions against Russia, other nations or individuals or companies and possible countermeasures, lack of liquidity in the bond markets or adverse investor sentiment. In the past several years, financial markets have experienced increased volatility, depressed valuations, decreased liquidity and heightened uncertainty. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread. Inflation and interest rates may increase. These circumstances could |

|:---|
| adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Fund's investments and negatively impact the Fund's performance. |
| Some sectors of the economy and individual issuers have experienced or may experience particularly large losses. Periods of extreme volatility in the financial markets, reduced liquidity of many instruments, increased government debt, inflation, and disruptions to supply chains, consumer demand and employee availability, may continue for some time. Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Russian securities lost all, or nearly all, their market value. Other securities or markets could be similarly affected by past or future political, geopolitical or other events or conditions. |
| Governments and central banks, including the U.S. Federal Reserve, have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. These actions have resulted in significant expansion of public debt, including in the U.S. The consequences of high public debt, including its future impact on the economy and securities markets, may not be known for some time. |
| The U.S. and other countries are periodically involved in disputes over trade and other matters, which may result in tariffs, investment restrictions and adverse impacts on affected companies and securities. For example, the U.S. has imposed tariffs and other trade barriers on Chinese exports, has restricted sales of certain categories of goods to China, and has established barriers to investments in China. Trade disputes may adversely affect the economies of the U.S. and its trading partners, as well as companies directly or indirectly affected and financial markets generally. If the political climate between the U.S. and China does not improve or continues to deteriorate, if China enters into military conflict with Taiwan, the Philippines or another neighbor, or if other geopolitical conflicts develop or get worse, economies, markets and individual securities may be severely affected both regionally and globally, and the value of the Fund's assets may go down. |
| At times, the Fund's investments may represent industries or industry sectors that are interrelated or have common risks, making the Fund more susceptible to any economic, political, or regulatory developments or other risks affecting those industries and sectors. |
| The Fund may invest in small and mid-sized companies. Compared to large companies, small and mid-sized companies, and the market for their equity securities, may be more sensitive to changes in earnings results and investor expectations or poor economic or market conditions, including those experienced during a recession, have more limited product lines, operating histories, markets or capital resources, may be |

| dependent upon a limited management group, experience sharper swings in market values, have limited liquidity, be harder to value or to sell at the times and prices the Adviser thinks appropriate, and offer greater potential for gain and loss. |
| Normally, the Fund invests at least a minimum percentage of its net assets in issuers located outside of the United States. The Fund's investments in foreign markets and countries with limited developing markets may subject the Fund to a greater degree of risk than investments in a developed market. These risks include disruptive political or economic conditions, military conflicts and sanctions, terrorism, sustained economic downturns, financial instability, less liquid trading markets, extreme price volatility, currency risks, reduction of government or central bank support, inadequate accounting standards, tariffs, tax disputes or other tax burdens, nationalization or expropriation of assets, and the imposition of adverse governmental laws, arbitrary application of laws and regulations or lack of rule of law and investment and repatriation restrictions. Lack of information and less market regulation also may affect the value of these securities. Withholding and other non-U.S. taxes may decrease the Fund's return. Non-U.S. issuers may be located in parts of the world that have historically been prone to natural disasters. Investing in depositary receipts is subject to many of the same risks as investing directly in non-U.S. issuers. Depositary receipts may involve higher expenses and may trade at a discount (or premium) to the underlying security. |
| Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. In response to the military action by Russia, various countries, including the U.S., the United Kingdom, and European Union issued broad-ranging economic sanctions against Russia and Belarus and certain companies and individuals. Since then, Russian securities lost all, or nearly all, their market value, and many other issuers, securities and markets have been adversely affected. The United States and other countries may impose sanctions on other countries, companies and individuals in light of Russia's military invasion. The extent and duration of the military action or future escalation of such hostilities, the extent and impact of existing and future sanctions, market disruptions and volatility, and the result of any diplomatic negotiations cannot be predicted. These and any related events could have a significant impact on the value and liquidity of certain Fund investments, on Fund performance and the value of an investment in the Fund, particularly with respect to securities and commodities, such as oil, natural gas and food commodities, as well as other sectors with exposure to Russian issuers or issuers in other |

|  | countries affected by the invasion, and are likely to have collateral impacts on market sectors globally. |
|  | With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet to conduct business, the Fund is susceptible to operational, information security and related risks. While the Adviser has established business continuity plans in the event of, and risk management systems to prevent, limit or mitigate, such cyber-attacks, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems, including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified. Furthermore, the Fund cannot control the cybersecurity plans and systems put in place by service providers to the Fund such as the Fund's custodian and accounting agent, and the Fund's transfer agent. In addition, many beneficial owners of Fund shares hold them through accounts at broker-dealers, retirement platforms and other financial market participants over which neither the Fund nor the Adviser exercises control. Each of these may in turn rely on service providers to them, which are also subject to the risk of cyber-attacks. Cybersecurity failures or breaches at the Adviser or the Fund's service providers or intermediaries have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, interference with the Fund's ability to calculate its net asset value, impediments to trading, the inability of Fund shareholders to effect share purchases, redemptions or exchanges or receive distributions, loss of or unauthorized access to private shareholder information and violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, or additional compliance costs. Such costs and losses may not be covered under any insurance. In addition, maintaining vigilance against cyber-attacks may involve substantial costs over time, and system enhancements may themselves be subject to cyber-attacks. |
|  | The Fund's prospectus contains unaudited information regarding the Fund's principal risks. Please refer to that document when considering the Fund's principal risks. |
| **H.** | **Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts** |
|  | The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts ("contracts") for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. All contracts are marked-to-market daily at the applicable exchange rates, and any resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded in the Fund's financial statements. The Fund records realized gains and losses at the time a contract is offset by entry into a closing transaction or extinguished by delivery of the currency. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract and from |

| During the six months ended March 31, 2025, the Predecessor Fund had entered into various forward foreign currency exchange contracts that obligated the Fund to deliver or take delivery of currencies at specified future maturity dates. Alternatively, prior to the settlement date of a forward foreign currency exchange contract, the Fund may close out such contract by entering into an offsetting contract. |
| The average market value of forward foreign currency exchange contracts open during the six months ended March 31, 2025 was $0 for sells. There were no open forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding at March 31, 2025. |

2. Investment Advisory Agreement

The Adviser manages the Fund's portfolio. During the periods covered by these financial statements, Amundi US served as the Fund's investment adviser. Management fees payable under the Fund's Investment Advisory Agreement with Amundi US were calculated daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.65% of the Fund's average daily net assets up to $1 billion and 0.60% of the Fund's average daily net assets over $1 billion. Prior to the Reorganization, Amundi Asset Management US, Inc. ("Amundi US") served as the investment adviser of the Predecessor Fund. Under an investment management agreement with Amundi US, the Predecessor Fund paid management fees at the annual rate of 0.65% of the Fund's average dailynet assets up to $1 billion and 0.60% of the Fund's average daily net assets over $1 billion.For the six months ended March 31, 2025, the effective management fee (excluding waivers and/or assumption of expenses) was equivalent to 0.65% (annualized) of the Fund's average daily net assets.

The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and/or reimburse expenses so that the total annual fund operating expenses (excluding certain items such as interest, taxes, brokerage commissions) do not exceed 1.00%, 1.72% and 0.70% of the Fund's Class A, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively. These expense limitations are in effect through April 1, 2028. The Adviser is permitted to recoup advisory fees waived and expenses reimbursed for up to two years after the date of the waiver or reimbursement, subject to the lesser of any operating expense limits in effect at the time of (a) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (b) the recoupment, after giving effect to the recoupment amount. The agreement may only be terminated by the Fund's Board of Trustees. There can be no assurance that the Adviser will extend the expense limitation agreement for a class of shares beyond the date referred to above.

Prior to the Reorganization, Amundi US contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse ordinary operating expenses (ordinary operating expenses means all fund expenses other than taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation) of the Fund to the extent required to reduce Fund expenses to 1.00%, 1.75% and 0.70% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively. These expense limitations were in effect during the six months ended February 28, 2025. Fees waived and expenses reimbursed during the six months ended March 31, 2025, are reflected on the Statement of Operations.

In addition, under the Predecessor Fund's management and administration agreements with Amundi US, certain other services and costs, including accounting, regulatory reporting and insurance premiums, were paid by the Predecessor Fund as administrative reimbursements. Reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities is $639 in management fees payable to the Adviser at March 31, 2025.

3. Compensation of Officers and Trustees

The Fund pays an annual fee to its Trustees. Except for the chief compliance officer, the Fund does not pay any salary or other compensation to its officers. The Fund pays a portion of the chief compliance officer's compensation for his services as the Fund's chief compliance officer. The Adviser pays the remaining portion of the chief compliance officer's compensation. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, the Predecessor Fund paid $3,744 in Officers' and Trustees' compensation, which is reflected on the Statement of Operations as Officers' and Trustees' fees. At March 31, 2025, on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities, the Predecessor Fund had a payable for Trustees' fees of $1 and a payable for administrative expenses of $74, which includes the payable for Officers' compensation.

4. Transfer Agent

6. Subsequent Event

On April 1, 2025 (the "Closing Date"), the Predecessor Fund was reorganized with the Fund (the "Reorganization"). The purpose of this transaction was to combine two funds with similar investment objectives and strategies.

This tax-free Reorganization was accomplished by exchanging the assets

and liabilities of the Predecessor Fund for shares of the Fund. Shareholders holding Class A, Class C and Class Y shares of the Predecessor Fund received Class A, Class C and Class Y shares of the Fund, respectively, in the Reorganization. The investment portfolio of the Predecessor Fund, with an aggregate value of $2,676,384 and an identified cost of $2,061,816 at April 1, 2025, was the principal asset acquired by the Fund.

The Predecessor Fund was the accounting survivor of the Reorganization.Accordingly, the Predecessor Fund's performance and financial history have become the performance and financial history of the Fund.

The Trustees of the fund have authorized the liquidation of the fund. It is anticipated that the fund will be liquidated on or about July 25, 2025 (the "Liquidation Date"). The fund will discontinue accepting requests from new accounts to purchase shares or process exchanges into the fund effective at the close of business on May 23, 2025. The fund will discontinue accepting requests from existing accounts to purchase shares or process exchanges into the fund effective at the close of business on July 18, 2025. Shares purchased through any dividend reinvestment and certain automatic investments will continue to be processed up to the Liquidation Date. The fund also may accept additional investments from established employer-sponsored retirement plans up to the Liquidation Date.

Prior to the fund's liquidation, all or a substantial portion of the fund's assets may be invested in cash, cash equivalents and debt securities with remaining maturities of less than one year. When invested in such instruments in anticipation of the liquidation, the fund may not be able to achieve its investment objectives.

Shareholders can redeem their shares of the fund at any time prior to liquidation.

### Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement with Victory Capital Management Inc.
Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital") serves as the investment adviser to Victory Pioneer Global Growth Fund (the "Fund") pursuant to an investment advisory agreement between Victory Capital and the Fund (the "Investment Advisory Agreement").

The Fund is newly-organized and was established in connection with the reorganization of Pioneer Global Sustainable Growth Fund (the "Predecessor Fund") into the Fund (the "Reorganization"). The Predecessor Fund and the Fund entered into the Reorganization in connection with the contribution of Amundi Asset Management US, Inc. ("Amundi US"), the Predecessor Fund's investment adviser, to Victory Capital Holdings, Inc. ("Victory Capital Holdings"), the parent company of Victory Capital (the "Transaction"). The Reorganization was approved by shareholders of the Predecessor Fund at a meeting held on March 27, 2025 and was consummated on April 1, 2025.

The Trustees of the Fund, including all of the Independent Trustees, met to consider the Investment Advisory Agreement at an in-person meeting held on December 16, 2024. The Independent Trustees also served on the Board of Trustees of the Predecessor Fund.

To assist the Trustees in their consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, Victory Capital provided extensive information to the Trustees regarding the Reorganization, the Transaction and the investment advisory services to be provided by Victory Capital under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Before and during the December 16, 2024 meeting, the Trustees sought additional information as they deemed necessary and appropriate. In connection with their consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Independent Trustees worked with their independent legal counsel to prepare requests for additional information that were submitted to Victory Capital and Amundi US. The Trustees' requests for information sought information relevant to the Trustees' consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement and anticipated impacts of the Reorganization and the Transaction on the Fund and its shareholders. The Independent Trustees met with senior management representatives of Victory Capital and Amundi US on numerous occasions to discuss various aspects of the Reorganization and the Transaction, to review information provided to assist the Independent Trustees in their consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Reorganization and the Transaction, and to make supplemental due diligence requests for

additional information from Victory Capital and Amundi US with respect to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Reorganization and the Transaction. Victory Capital and Amundi US provided documents and information in response to the requests from the Independent Trustees, as well as made presentations to, and responded to questions from, the Independent Trustees.

Prior to voting on the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Independent Trustees reviewed the Reorganization, the Transaction and the Investment Advisory Agreement with representatives of Amundi US and Victory Capital, counsel to the Fund and counsel to the Independent Trustees. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the Reorganization, the Transaction and the Investment Advisory Agreement with their independent legal counsel in private sessions at which no representatives of Amundi US, Victory Capital or counsel to the Fund were present.

The Trustees' evaluation of the Investment Advisory Agreement reflected information provided specifically in connection with their review of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as well as, where relevant, information that was previously furnished to the Independent Trustees in connection with the renewal of the Predecessor Fund's investment advisory agreement with Amundi US (the "Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement") at an in-person meeting of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held on September 17, 2024 and at other meetings of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees throughout the prior year.

Among other things, the Trustees considered:

(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; that, in the Transaction, Amundi US would be combined into Victory Capital Holdings in exchange for shares of Victory Capital Holdings issued to Amundi Asset Management S.A.S. ("Amundi"), the parent company of Amundi US, without Amundi becoming a controlling stockholder of Victory Capital Holdings, and that Victory Capital Holdings and Amundi would establish a long-term reciprocal distribution partnership;

(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; representations by Victory Capital regarding the reputation, experience, financial strength and resources of Victory Capital and its investment franchises;

(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; that Victory Capital informed the Trustees that the portfolio managers of the Predecessor Fund were expected to continue to act as portfolio managers of the Fund following the consummation of the Reorganization as members of Pioneer Investments, a planned Victory Capital investment franchise, managing the Fund using the same investment approach under which the Predecessor Fund was managed, and

the Trustees considered the historical investment performance record of the Predecessor Fund under such investment approach;

(iv) the non-investment resources, infrastructure and personnel of Victory Capital that would be involved in Victory Capital's services to the Fund, including Victory Capital's legal and operational structure, risk management, administrative, legal, compliance and cybersecurity functions;

(v)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Victory Capital's distribution capabilities, including its significant network of intermediary relationships, which may provide additional opportunities for the Fund to grow assets and lower fees and expenses through increased economies of scale;

(vi) Victory Capital's broad distribution network and a large fund family of Victory Funds may also provide opportunities for asset growth for the Fund and economies of scale through the potential to negotiate lower fee rates from service providers and to determine based on the assets of the entire Victory Fund complex;

(vii) the fact that the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Fund would be the same as the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Predecessor Fund;

(viii) the fact that the Independent Trustees received full comparative fee and expense data in connection with their approval of the continuance of the Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement at the in-person meeting of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held on September 17, 2024;

(ix) that Victory Capital agreed with the Trustees that, for at least three years after the closing of the Reorganization, Victory Capital would waive fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the Fund's total net annual operating expenses (excluding certain customary items) does not exceed the lower of (i) the total net annual operating expenses associated with investing in the Predecessor Fund after application of expense limitation arrangements in effect for the Predecessor Fund, if any, or (ii) the total net annual operating expenses of the Predecessor Fund as of the end of the Predecessor Fund's most recent fiscal year at the time of the closing of the Reorganization, and that the contractual expense limitation agreement permits Victory Capital to recoup advisory fees waived and expenses reimbursed for up to two years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement took place, subject to the lesser of any operating expense limitation in effect at the time of: (1) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (2) recoupment, after giving effect to the recoupment amount;

(x) that the investment objective, principal investment strategies and principal risks of the Fund are the same as those of the Predecessor Fund, except that the Fund is not required to invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of borrowings, if any, for investment purposes) in securities that Victory Capital believes adhere to "ESG criteria;"

(xi) that Victory Capital had acquired and integrated several investment management companies;

(xii) that Victory Capital had agreed to conduct, and use reasonable best efforts to cause its affiliates to conduct, its business in compliance with Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act so as not to impose an "unfair burden" on the Fund; and

(xiii) the potential benefits to the shareholders of the Fund, including continuity of portfolio management and operating efficiencies due to the greater scale of Victory Capital that may be achieved from the Reorganization.

Certain of these considerations are discussed in more detail below.

The Trustees also requested, obtained and considered the following information in connection with their evaluation of the Reorganization, the Transaction and the Investment Advisory Agreement for the Fund: (i) memoranda provided by Fund counsel that summarized the legal standards and other considerations that are relevant to the Trustees in their deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement; and (ii) the financial statements of Victory Capital, a profitability analysis provided by Victory Capital, and an analysis from Victory Capital as to possible economies of scale. The Independent Trustees further considered materials provided in connection with their review of the Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement, including information regarding the qualifications of the investment management team for the Fund, as well as the level of investment by the Fund's portfolio managers in the Fund. In addition, the Independent Trustees considered the information provided at and in connection with regularly scheduled meetings of the Board of Trustees of the Predecessor Fund throughout the year regarding the Predecessor Fund's performance and risk attributes, including through meetings with investment management personnel, and took into account other information related to the Predecessor Fund provided to the Independent Trustees at regularly scheduled meetings.

At the December 16, 2024 meeting, based on their evaluation of the information provided, the Trustees including the Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the Investment Advisory Agreement. In approving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered

------

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_Amund_3ef3af74-bfd2-4690-be0d-cbecc5778c33_TOC)

various factors that they determined were relevant, including the factors described below. The Trustees did not identify any single factor as the controlling factor in their determinations.

#### Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Trustees considered that the Fund is newly-organized and was established in connection with the Reorganization. The Trustees considered that the investment objective, principal investment strategies and principal risks of the Fund are the same as those of the Predecessor Fund, except that the Fund is not required to invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of borrowings, if any, for investment purposes) in securities that Victory Capital believes adhere to "ESG criteria." The Trustees also considered Victory Capital's representation that, under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund would be managed using the same investment approach under which the Predecessor Fund was managed.

The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services that had been provided by Amundi US to the Predecessor Fund and that were expected to be provided by Victory Capital to the Fund following the consummation of the Reorganization, taking into account the investment objective and principal investment strategies of the Fund.

The Trustees considered information provided by Victory Capital regarding its business and operating structure, scale of operations, leadership and reputation. The Trustees also considered the capabilities, resources, and personnel of Victory Capital, in order to determine whether Victory Capital is capable of providing at least the same level of investment management services provided to the Predecessor Fund. The Trustees received information regarding Victory Capital's plans to integrate Amundi US investment personnel into Victory Capital as members of Pioneer Investments, a Victory Capital investment franchise. The Independent Trustees noted that they had considered the qualifications of the portfolio managers at Amundi US at meetings of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held prior to September 17, 2024.

The Trustees considered the non-investment resources, infrastructure and personnel of Victory Capital that would be involved in Victory Capital's services to the Fund, including Victory Capital's compliance, risk management, cybersecurity and legal resources and personnel. The Trustees also reviewed information provided by Victory Capital related to its business, legal, and regulatory affairs, including information regarding the resources available to Victory Capital to provide the services specified under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also considered Victory Capital's financial condition, and noted that Victory Capital was

------

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_Amund_3ef3af74-bfd2-4690-be0d-cbecc5778c33_TOC)

expected to be able to provide a high level of service to the Fund and continuously invest and re-invest in its investment management business.

The Trustees considered that Amundi US supervised and monitored the performance of the Predecessor Fund's service providers and provided the Predecessor Fund with personnel (including Fund officers) and other resources that were necessary for the Predecessor Fund's business management and operations, and considered the personnel and resources that Victory Capital proposed to provide with respect to such services for the Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also considered that, as administrator, Amundi US was responsible for the administration of the Predecessor Fund's business and other affairs and that, following the Reorganization, Victory Capital would be responsible for the administration of the Fund's business and other affairs. The Trustees considered that the fees Victory Capital would charge for administration services were higher than the fees that Amundi US received as reimbursement for services rendered, and considered Victory Capital's explanation of the reasons for the differences in administration fees charged by Victory Capital and Amundi US as well as the expense limitation arrangement proposed to be implemented for the Fund for at least three years following the completion of the Reorganization.

Based on these considerations, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services that Victory Capital would provide to the Fund would be satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement.

#### Performance of the Trust
The Fund is newly-organized and does not have a performance history. The Trustees considered that the Fund succeeded to the performance history of the Predecessor Fund in the Reorganization. In considering the Predecessor Fund's performance, the Independent Trustees regularly reviewed and discussed throughout the year data and information comparing the Predecessor Fund's performance with the performance of its peer group of funds, as classified by Morningstar, Inc. (Morningstar), and with the performance of the Predecessor Fund's benchmark index. They also discussed the Predecessor Fund's performance with the Predecessor Fund's portfolio managers on a regular basis. The Independent Trustees' regular reviews and discussions with respect to the Predecessor Fund were factored into the Trustees' deliberations concerning the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement.

In addition, the Trustees considered that the Predecessor Fund's portfolio managers were expected to continue to act as portfolio managers of the Fund following the consummation of the Reorganization as members of

Pioneer Investments, a Victory Capital investment franchise. The Trustees also considered that the investment objective and principal investment strategies of the Fund are the same as those of the Predecessor Fund, except that the Fund is not required to invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of borrowings, if any, for investment purposes) in securities that the adviser believes adhere to "ESG criteria."

#### Advisory Fee and Expenses
The Independent Trustees considered that the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement would be the same as the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Predecessor Fund. The Independent Trustees also considered that, for at least three years after the close of the Reorganization, Victory Capital had agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of the Fund so that its total net operating expenses (excluding certain customary items) does not exceed the lower of (i) the total net annual operating expenses associated with investing in the Predecessor Fund after application of expense limitation arrangements in effect for the Predecessor Fund, if any, or (ii) the total net annual operating expenses of the Predecessor Fund as of the end of the Predecessor Fund's most recent fiscal year, at the time of the closing of the Reorganization. The Independent Trustees also considered that they had received full comparative fee and expense data in connection with their approval of the continuance of the Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement at the in-person meeting of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held on September 17, 2024. The Trustees concluded that the proposed advisory fee payable by the Fund to Victory Capital was reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of services to be provided by Victory Capital.

#### Profitability
The Trustees considered information provided by Victory Capital regarding the estimated profitability of Victory Capital with respect to the advisory services proposed to be provided by Victory Capital to the Fund, including the methodology used by Victory Capital in allocating certain of its costs to the management of the Fund. The Trustees also considered Victory Capital's estimated profit margins in connection with the overall operation of the Fund. The Trustees considered the investments Victory Capital expected to make to support and grow the Pioneer funds brand and the costs to integrate the Amundi US/Pioneer Funds business into Victory Capital. The Trustees also considered information regarding Victory Capital's profit margins with respect to the funds it currently manages. The Trustees considered Victory Capital's representation that the fully integrated Amundi US/Pioneer Funds business, including investments to support ongoing growth, was expected to have a positive impact on Victory

------

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_Amund_3ef3af74-bfd2-4690-be0d-cbecc5778c33_TOC)

Capital's overall financial profitability. The Trustees considered Victory Capital's current profit margins in comparison to the limited industry data available and noted that the profitability of any adviser was affected by numerous factors, including its organizational structure and method for allocating expenses. The Trustees concluded that Victory Capital's estimated profitability with respect to the management of the Fund was not unreasonable.

#### Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the extent to which Victory Capital may realize economies of scale or other efficiencies in managing and supporting the Fund. The Trustees noted the breakpoints in the management fee schedule. The Trustees recognize that economies of scale are difficult to identify and quantify, and that, among other factors that may be relevant, are the following: fee levels, expense subsidization, investment by Victory Capital in research and analytical capabilities and Victory Capital's commitment and resource allocation to the Fund. The Trustees noted that profitability also may be an indicator of the availability of any economies of scale, although profitability may vary for other reasons including due to reductions in expenses. The Trustees concluded that economies of scale, if any, would be appropriately shared with the Fund.

#### Other Benefits
The Trustees considered the other benefits that Victory Capital may enjoy from its relationship with the Fund. The Trustees considered the character and amount of fees to be paid by the Fund, other than under the Investment Advisory Agreement, for services to be provided by Victory Capital and its affiliates. The Trustees further considered the revenues and profitability of Victory Capital's businesses other than the Fund business. To the extent applicable, the Trustees also considered the potential benefits to the Fund and to Victory Capital and its affiliates from the use of "soft" commission dollars generated by the Fund to pay for research and brokerage services.

The Trustees noted that the completion of the Transaction would result in a long-term reciprocal distribution partnership between Amundi and Victory Capital, and that Victory Capital may benefit from Amundi's ability to market the services of Victory Capital globally, including in an increase of the overall scale of Victory Capital. The Trustees considered that the Transaction would significantly increase Victory Capital's assets under management and expand Victory Capital's investment capabilities. The Trustees considered that this increased size and diversification could facilitate Victory Capital's continued investment in its business and products, which Victory Capital would be able to leverage across a broader

base of assets. The Trustees considered that Victory Capital and the Fund are expected to receive reciprocal intangible benefits from the relationship, including mutual brand recognition. The Trustees concluded that any such benefits received by Victory Capital as a result of its relationship with the Fund were reasonable.

#### Conclusion
After consideration of the factors described above as well as other factors, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the Investment Advisory Agreement, including the fees payable thereunder, was fair and reasonable and voted to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement.

Item 11. STATEMENT REGARDING BASIS FOR APPROVAL OF INVESMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT. (Unaudited)

#### Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement
Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital") serves as the investment adviser to Victory Pioneer Strategic Income Fund (the "Fund") pursuant to an investment advisory agreement between Victory Capital and the Fund (the "Investment Advisory Agreement").

The Fund is newly-organized and was established in connection with the reorganization of Pioneer Strategic Income (the "Predecessor Fund") into the Fund (the "Reorganization"). The Predecessor Fund and the Fund entered into the Reorganization in connection with the contribution of Amundi Asset Management US, Inc. ("Amundi US"), the Predecessor Fund's investment adviser, to Victory Capital Holdings, Inc. ("Victory Capital Holdings"), the parent company of Victory Capital (the "Transaction"). The Reorganization was approved by shareholders of the Predecessor Fund at a meeting held on March 27, 2025 and was consummated on April 1, 2025.

The Trustees of the Fund, including all of the Independent Trustees, met to consider the Investment Advisory Agreement at an in-person meeting held on December 16, 2024. The Independent Trustees also served on the Board of Trustees of the Predecessor Fund.

To assist the Trustees in their consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, Victory Capital provided extensive information to the Trustees regarding the Reorganization, the Transaction and the investment advisory services to be provided by Victory Capital under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Before and during the December 16, 2024 meeting, the Trustees sought additional information as they deemed necessary and appropriate. In connection with their consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Independent Trustees worked with their independent legal counsel to prepare requests for additional information that were submitted to Victory Capital and Amundi US. The Trustees' requests for information sought information relevant to the Trustees' consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement and anticipated impacts of the Reorganization and the Transaction on the Fund and its shareholders. The Independent Trustees met with senior management representatives of Victory Capital and Amundi US on numerous occasions to discuss various aspects of the Reorganization and the Transaction, to review information provided to assist the Independent Trustees in their consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Reorganization and the Transaction, and to make supplemental due diligence requests for additional information from Victory Capital and Amundi US with respect to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Reorganization and the Transaction. Victory Capital and Amundi US provided documents and information in response to the requests from the Independent Trustees, as well as made presentations to, and responded to questions from, the Independent Trustees.

Prior to voting on the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Independent Trustees reviewed the Reorganization, the Transaction and the Investment Advisory Agreement with representatives of Amundi US and Victory Capital, counsel to the Fund and counsel to the Independent Trustees. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the Reorganization, the Transaction and the Investment Advisory Agreement with their independent legal counsel in private sessions at which no representatives of Amundi US, Victory Capital or counsel to the Fund were present.

------

The Trustees' evaluation of the Investment Advisory Agreement reflected information provided specifically in connection with their review of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as well as, where relevant, information that was previously furnished to the Independent Trustees in connection with the renewal of the Predecessor Fund's investment advisory agreement with Amundi US (the "Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement") at an in-person meeting of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held on September 17, 2024 and at other meetings of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees throughout the prior year.

Among other things, the Trustees considered:

(i) that, in the Transaction, Amundi US would be combined into Victory Capital Holdings in exchange for shares of Victory Capital Holdings issued to Amundi Asset Management S.A.S. ("Amundi"), the parent company of Amundi US, without Amundi becoming a controlling stockholder of Victory Capital Holdings, and that Victory Capital Holdings and Amundi would establish a long-term reciprocal distribution partnership;

(ii) representations by Victory Capital regarding the reputation, experience, financial strength and resources of Victory Capital and its investment franchises;

(iii) that Victory Capital informed the Trustees that the portfolio managers of the Predecessor Fund were expected to continue to act as portfolio managers of the Fund following the consummation of the Reorganization as members of Pioneer Investments, a planned Victory Capital investment franchise, managing the Fund using the same investment approach under which the Predecessor Fund was managed, and the Trustees considered the historical investment performance record of the Predecessor Fund under such investment approach;

(iv) the non-investment resources, infrastructure and personnel of Victory Capital that would be involved in Victory Capital's services to the Fund, including Victory Capital's legal and operational structure, risk management, administrative, legal, compliance and cybersecurity functions;

(v) Victory Capital's distribution capabilities, including its significant network of intermediary relationships, which may provide additional opportunities for the Fund to grow assets and lower fees and expenses through increased economies of scale;

(i) memoranda provided by Fund counsel that summarized the legal standards and other considerations that are relevant to the Trustees in their deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement; and (ii) the financial statements of Victory Capital, a profitability analysis provided by Victory Capital, and an analysis from Victory Capital as to possible economies of scale. The Independent Trustees further considered materials provided in connection with their review of the Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement, including information regarding the qualifications of the investment management team for the Fund, as well as the level of investment by the Fund's portfolio managers in the Fund. In addition, the Independent Trustees considered the information provided at and in connection with regularly scheduled meetings of the Board of Trustees of the Predecessor Fund throughout the year regarding the Predecessor Fund's performance and risk attributes, including through meetings with investment management personnel, and took into account other information related to the Predecessor Fund provided to the Independent Trustees at regularly scheduled meetings.

At the December 16, 2024 meeting, based on their evaluation of the information provided, the Trustees including the Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the Investment Advisory Agreement. In approving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered various factors that they determined were relevant, including the factors described below. The Trustees did not identify any single factor as the controlling factor in their determinations.

#### Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Trustees considered that the Fund is newly-organized and was established in connection with the Reorganization. The Trustees considered that the investment objective, principal investment strategies and principal risks of the Fund are the same as those of the Predecessor Fund. The Trustees also considered Victory Capital's representation that, under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund would be managed using the same investment approach under which the Predecessor Fund was managed.

The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services that had been provided by Amundi US to the Predecessor Fund and that were expected to be provided by Victory Capital to the Fund following the consummation of the Reorganization, taking into account the investment objective and principal investment strategies of the Fund.

------

The Trustees considered information provided by Victory Capital regarding its business and operating structure, scale of operations, leadership and reputation. The Trustees also considered the capabilities, resources, and personnel of Victory Capital, in order to determine whether Victory Capital is capable of providing at least the same level of investment management services provided to the Predecessor Fund. The Trustees received information regarding Victory Capital's plans to integrate Amundi US investment personnel into Victory Capital as members of Pioneer Investments, a Victory Capital investment franchise. The Independent Trustees noted that they had considered the qualifications of the portfolio managers at Amundi US at meetings of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held prior to September 17, 2024.

The Trustees considered the non-investment resources, infrastructure and personnel of Victory Capital that would be involved in Victory Capital's services to the Fund, including Victory Capital's compliance, risk management, cybersecurity and legal resources and personnel. The Trustees also reviewed information provided by Victory Capital related to its business, legal, and regulatory affairs, including information regarding the resources available to Victory Capital to provide the services specified under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also considered Victory Capital's financial condition, and noted that Victory Capital was expected to be able to provide a high level of service to the Fund and continuously invest and re-invest in its investment management business. The Trustees considered that Amundi US supervised and monitored the performance of the Predecessor Fund's service providers and provided the Predecessor Fund with personnel (including Fund officers) and other resources that were necessary for the Predecessor Fund's business management and operations, and considered the personnel and resources that Victory Capital proposed to provide with respect to such services for the Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also considered that, as administrator, Amundi US was responsible for the administration of the Predecessor Fund's business and other affairs and that, following the Reorganization, Victory Capital would be responsible for the administration of the Fund's business and other affairs. The Trustees considered that the fees Victory Capital would charge for administration services were higher than the fees that Amundi US received as reimbursement for services rendered, and considered Victory Capital's explanation of the reasons for the differences in administration fees charged by Victory Capital and Amundi US as well as the expense limitation arrangement proposed to be implemented for the Fund for at least three years following the completion of the Reorganization. Based on these considerations, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services that Victory Capital would provide to the Fund would be satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement.

#### Performance of the Fund
The Fund is newly-organized and does not have a performance history. The Trustees considered that the Fund succeeded to the performance history of the Predecessor Fund in the Reorganization. In considering the Predecessor Fund's performance, the Independent Trustees regularly reviewed and discussed throughout the year data and information comparing the Predecessor Fund's performance with the performance of its peer group of funds, as classified by Morningstar, Inc. (Morningstar), and with the performance of the Predecessor Fund's benchmark index. They also discussed the Predecessor Fund's performance with the Predecessor Fund's portfolio managers on a regular basis. The Independent Trustees' regular reviews and discussions with respect to the Predecessor Fund were factored into the Trustees' deliberations concerning the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement.

------

In addition, the Trustees considered that the Predecessor Fund's portfolio managers were expected to continue to act as portfolio managers of the Fund following the consummation of the Reorganization as members of Pioneer Investments, a Victory Capital investment franchise. The Trustees also considered that the investment objective and principal investment strategies of the Fund are the same as those of the Predecessor Fund.

#### Advisory Fee and Expenses
The Independent Trustees considered that the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement would be the same as the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Predecessor Fund. The Independent Trustees also considered that, for at least three years after the close of the Reorganization, Victory Capital had agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of the Fund so that its total net operating expenses (excluding certain customary items) does not exceed the lower of (i) the total net annual operating expenses associated with investing in the Predecessor Fund after application of expense limitation arrangements in effect for the Predecessor Fund, if any, or (ii) the total net annual operating expenses of the Predecessor Fund as of the end of the Predecessor Fund's most recent fiscal year, at the time of the closing of the Reorganization. The Independent Trustees also considered that they had received full comparative fee and expense data in connection with their approval of the continuance of the Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement at the in-person meeting of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held on September 17, 2024. The Trustees concluded that the proposed advisory fee payable by the Fund to Victory Capital was reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of services to be provided by Victory Capital.

#### Profitability
The Trustees considered information provided by Victory Capital regarding the estimated profitability of Victory Capital with respect to the advisory services proposed to be provided by Victory Capital to the Fund, including the methodology used by Victory Capital in allocating certain of its costs to the management of the Fund. The Trustees also considered Victory Capital's estimated profit margins in connection with the overall operation of the Fund. The Trustees considered the investments Victory Capital expected to make to support and grow the Pioneer funds brand and the costs to integrate the Amundi US/Pioneer Funds business into Victory Capital. The Trustees also considered information regarding Victory Capital's profit margins with respect to the funds it currently manages. The Trustees considered Victory Capital's representation that the fully integrated Amundi US/Pioneer Funds business, including investments to support ongoing growth, was expected to have a positive impact on Victory Capital's overall financial profitability. The Trustees considered Victory Capital's current profit margins in comparison to the limited industry data available and noted that the profitability of any adviser was affected by numerous factors, including its organizational structure and method for allocating expenses. The Trustees concluded that Victory Capital's estimated profitability with respect to the management of the Fund was not unreasonable.

------

#### Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the extent to which Victory Capital may realize economies of scale or other efficiencies in managing and supporting the Fund. The Trustees noted the breakpoints in the management fee schedule. The Trustees recognize that economies of scale are difficult to identify and quantify, and that, among other factors that may be relevant, are the following: fee levels, expense subsidization, investment by Victory Capital in research and analytical capabilities and Victory Capital's commitment and resource allocation to the Fund. The Trustees noted that profitability also may be an indicator of the availability of any economies of scale, although profitability may vary for other reasons including due to reductions in expenses. The Trustees concluded that economies of scale, if any, would be appropriately shared with the Fund.

#### Other Benefits
The Trustees considered the other benefits that Victory Capital may enjoy from its relationship with the Fund. The Trustees considered the character and amount of fees to be paid by the Fund, other than under the Investment Advisory Agreement, for services to be provided by Victory Capital and its affiliates. The Trustees further considered the revenues and profitability of Victory Capital's businesses other than the Fund business. To the extent applicable, the Trustees also considered the potential benefits to the Fund and to Victory Capital and its affiliates from the use of "soft" commission dollars generated by the Fund to pay for research and brokerage services.

The Trustees noted that the completion of the Transaction would result in a long-term reciprocal distribution partnership between Amundi and Victory Capital, and that Victory Capital may benefit from Amundi's ability to market the services of Victory Capital globally, including in an increase of the overall scale of Victory Capital. The Trustees considered that the Transaction would significantly increase Victory Capital's assets under management and expand Victory Capital's investment capabilities. The Trustees considered that this increased size and diversification could facilitate Victory Capital's continued investment in its business and products, which Victory Capital would be able to leverage across a broader base of assets. The Trustees considered that Victory Capital and the Fund are expected to receive reciprocal intangible benefits from the relationship, including mutual brand recognition. The Trustees concluded that any such benefits received by Victory Capital as a result of its relationship with the Fund were reasonable.

#### Conclusion
After consideration of the factors described above as well as other factors, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the Investment Advisory Agreement, including the fees payable thereunder, was fair and reasonable and voted to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement.

#### Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement
Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital") serves as the investment adviser to Victory Pioneer Intrinsic Value Fund (the "Fund") pursuant to an investment advisory agreement between Victory Capital and the Fund (the "Investment Advisory Agreement").

The Fund is newly-organized and was established in connection with the reorganization of Pioneer Intrinsic Value Fund (the "Predecessor Fund") into the Fund (the "Reorganization"). The Predecessor Fund and the Fund entered into the Reorganization in connection with the contribution of Amundi Asset Management US, Inc. ("Amundi US"), the Predecessor Fund's investment adviser, to Victory Capital Holdings, Inc. ("Victory Capital Holdings"), the parent company of Victory Capital (the "Transaction"). The Reorganization was approved by shareholders of the Predecessor Fund at a meeting held on March 27, 2025 and was consummated on April 1, 2025.

------

The Trustees of the Fund, including all of the Independent Trustees, met to consider the Investment Advisory Agreement at an in-person meeting held on December 16, 2024. The Independent Trustees also served on the Board of Trustees of the Predecessor Fund.

To assist the Trustees in their consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, Victory Capital provided extensive information to the Trustees regarding the Reorganization, the Transaction and the investment advisory services to be provided by Victory Capital under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Before and during the December 16, 2024 meeting, the Trustees sought additional information as they deemed necessary and appropriate. In connection with their consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Independent Trustees worked with their independent legal counsel to prepare requests for additional information that were submitted to Victory Capital and Amundi US. The Trustees' requests for information sought information relevant to the Trustees' consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement and anticipated impacts of the Reorganization and the Transaction on the Fund and its shareholders. The Independent Trustees met with senior management representatives of Victory Capital and Amundi US on numerous occasions to discuss various aspects of the Reorganization and the Transaction, to review information provided to assist the Independent Trustees in their consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Reorganization and the Transaction, and to make supplemental due diligence requests for additional information from Victory Capital and Amundi US with respect to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Reorganization and the Transaction. Victory Capital and Amundi US provided documents and information in response to the requests from the Independent Trustees, as well as made presentations to, and responded to questions from, the Independent Trustees.

Prior to voting on the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Independent Trustees reviewed the Reorganization, the Transaction and the Investment Advisory Agreement with representatives of Amundi US and Victory Capital, counsel to the Fund and counsel to the Independent Trustees. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the Reorganization, the Transaction and the Investment Advisory Agreement with their independent legal counsel in private sessions at which no representatives of Amundi US, Victory Capital or counsel to the Fund were present.

The Trustees' evaluation of the Investment Advisory Agreement reflected information provided specifically in connection with their review of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as well as, where relevant, information that was previously furnished to the Independent Trustees in connection with the renewal of the Predecessor Fund's investment advisory agreement with Amundi US (the "Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement") at an in-person meeting of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held on September 17, 2024 and at other meetings of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees throughout the prior year.

Among other things, the Trustees considered:

(i) that, in the Transaction, Amundi US would be combined into Victory Capital Holdings in exchange for shares of Victory Capital Holdings issued to Amundi Asset Management S.A.S. ("Amundi"), the parent company of Amundi US, without Amundi becoming a controlling stockholder of Victory Capital Holdings, and that Victory Capital Holdings and Amundi would establish a long-term reciprocal distribution partnership;

(ii) representations by Victory Capital regarding the reputation, experience, financial strength and resources of Victory Capital and its investment franchises;

------

(iii) that Victory Capital informed the Trustees that the portfolio managers of the Predecessor Fund were expected to continue to act as portfolio managers of the Fund following the consummation of the Reorganization as members of Pioneer Investments, a planned Victory Capital investment franchise, managing the Fund using the same investment approach under which the Predecessor Fund was managed, and the Trustees considered the historical investment performance record of the Predecessor Fund under such investment approach;

(iv) the non-investment resources, infrastructure and personnel of Victory Capital that would be involved in Victory Capital's services to the Fund, including Victory Capital's legal and operational structure, risk management, administrative, legal, compliance and cybersecurity functions;

(v) Victory Capital's distribution capabilities, including its significant network of intermediary relationships, which may provide additional opportunities for the Fund to grow assets and lower fees and expenses through increased economies of scale;

(vi) Victory Capital's broad distribution network and a large fund family of Victory Funds may also provide opportunities for asset growth for the Fund and economies of scale through the potential to negotiate lower fee rates from service providers and to determine based on the assets of the entire Victory Fund complex;

(vii) the fact that the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Fund would be the same as the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Predecessor Fund;

(viii) the fact that the Independent Trustees received full comparative fee and expense data in connection with their approval of the continuance of the Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement at the in-person meeting of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held on September 17, 2024;

(ix) that Victory Capital agreed with the Trustees that, for at least three years after the closing of the Reorganization, Victory Capital would waive fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the Fund's total net annual operating expenses (excluding certain customary items) does not exceed the lower of (i) the total net annual operating expenses associated with investing in the Predecessor Fund after application of expense limitation arrangements in effect for the Predecessor Fund, if any, or (ii) the total net annual operating expenses of the Predecessor Fund as of the end of the Predecessor Fund's most recent fiscal year at the time of the closing of the Reorganization, and that the contractual expense limitation agreement permits Victory Capital to recoup advisory fees waived and expenses reimbursed for up to two years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement took place, subject to the lesser of any operating expense limitation in effect at the time of: (1) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (2) recoupment, after giving effect to the recoupment amount;

The Trustees also requested, obtained and considered the following information in connection with their evaluation of the Reorganization, the Transaction and the Investment Advisory Agreement for the Fund:

(i) memoranda provided by Fund counsel that summarized the legal standards and other considerations that are relevant to the Trustees in their deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement; and (ii) the financial statements of Victory Capital, a profitability analysis provided by Victory Capital, and an analysis from Victory Capital as to possible economies of scale.

The Independent Trustees further considered materials provided in connection with their review of the Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement, including information regarding the qualifications of the investment management team for the Fund, as well as the level of investment by the Fund's portfolio managers in the Fund. In addition, the Independent Trustees considered the information provided at and in connection with regularly scheduled meetings of the Board of Trustees of the Predecessor Fund throughout the year regarding the Predecessor Fund's performance and risk attributes, including through meetings with investment management personnel, and took into account other information related to the Predecessor Fund provided to the Independent Trustees at regularly scheduled meetings.

------

At the December 16, 2024 meeting, based on their evaluation of the information provided, the Trustees including the Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the Investment Advisory Agreement. In approving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered various factors that they determined were relevant, including the factors described below. The Trustees did not identify any single factor as the controlling factor in their determinations.

#### Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Trustees considered that the Fund is newly-organized and was established in connection with the Reorganization. The Trustees considered that the investment objective, principal investment strategies and principal risks of the Fund are the same as those of the Predecessor Fund, except that the Fund is not required to invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of borrowings, if any, for investment purposes) in securities that Victory Capital believes adhere to "ESG criteria." The Trustees also considered Victory Capital's representation that, under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund would be managed using the same investment approach under which the Predecessor Fund was managed.

The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services that had been provided by Amundi US to the Predecessor Fund and that were expected to be provided by Victory Capital to the Fund following the consummation of the Reorganization, taking into account the investment objective and principal investment strategies of the Fund.

The Trustees considered information provided by Victory Capital regarding its business and operating structure, scale of operations, leadership and reputation. The Trustees also considered the capabilities, resources, and personnel of Victory Capital, in order to determine whether Victory Capital is capable of providing at least the same level of investment management services provided to the Predecessor Fund. The Trustees received information regarding Victory Capital's plans to integrate Amundi US investment personnel into Victory Capital as members of Pioneer Investments, a Victory Capital investment franchise. The Independent Trustees noted that they had considered the qualifications of the portfolio managers at Amundi US at meetings of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held prior to September 17, 2024.

The Trustees considered the non-investment resources, infrastructure and personnel of Victory Capital that would be involved in Victory Capital's services to the Fund, including Victory Capital's compliance, risk management, cybersecurity and legal resources and personnel. The Trustees also reviewed information provided by Victory Capital related to its business, legal, and regulatory affairs, including information regarding the resources available to Victory Capital to provide the services specified under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also considered Victory Capital's financial condition, and noted that Victory Capital was expected to be able to provide a high level of service to the Fund and continuously invest and re-invest in its investment management business. The Trustees considered that Amundi US supervised and monitored the performance of the Predecessor Fund's service providers and provided the Predecessor Fund with personnel (including Fund officers) and other resources that were necessary for the Predecessor Fund's business management and operations, and considered the personnel and resources that Victory Capital proposed to provide with respect to such services for the Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also considered that, as administrator, Amundi US was responsible for the administration of the Predecessor Fund's business and other affairs and that, following the Reorganization, Victory Capital would be responsible for

------

the administration of the Fund's business and other affairs. The Trustees considered that the fees Victory Capital would charge for administration services were higher than the fees that Amundi US received as reimbursement for services rendered, and considered Victory Capital's explanation of the reasons for the differences in administration fees charged by Victory Capital and Amundi US as well as the expense limitation arrangement proposed to be implemented for the Fund for at least three years following the completion of the Reorganization. Based on these considerations, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services that Victory Capital would provide to the Fund would be satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement.

#### Performance of the Trust
The Fund is newly-organized and does not have a performance history. The Trustees considered that the Fund succeeded to the performance history of the Predecessor Fund in the Reorganization. In considering the Predecessor Fund's performance, the Independent Trustees regularly reviewed and discussed throughout the year data and information comparing the Predecessor Fund's performance with the performance of its peer group of funds, as classified by Morningstar, Inc. (Morningstar), and with the performance of the Predecessor Fund's benchmark index. They also discussed the Predecessor Fund's performance with the Predecessor Fund's portfolio managers on a regular basis. The Independent Trustees' regular reviews and discussions with respect to the Predecessor Fund were factored into the Trustees' deliberations concerning the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement.

In addition, the Trustees considered that the Predecessor Fund's portfolio managers were expected to continue to act as portfolio managers of the Fund following the consummation of the Reorganization as members of Pioneer Investments, a Victory Capital investment franchise. The Trustees also considered that the investment objective and principal investment strategies of the Fund are the same as those of the Predecessor Fund, except that the Fund is not required to invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of borrowings, if any, for investment purposes) in securities that the adviser believes adhere to "ESG criteria."

#### Advisory Fee and Expenses
The Independent Trustees considered that the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement would be the same as the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Predecessor Fund. The Independent Trustees also considered that, for at least three years after the close of the Reorganization, Victory Capital had agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of the Fund so that its total net operating expenses (excluding certain customary items) does not exceed the lower of (i) the total net annual operating expenses associated with investing in the Predecessor Fund after application of expense limitation arrangements in effect for the Predecessor Fund, if any, or (ii) the total net annual operating expenses of the Predecessor Fund as of the end of the Predecessor Fund's most recent fiscal year, at the time of the closing of the Reorganization. The Independent Trustees also considered that they had received full comparative fee and expense data in connection with their approval of the continuance of the Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement at the in-person meeting of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held on September 17, 2024. The Trustees concluded that the proposed advisory fee payable by the Fund to Victory Capital was reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of services to be provided by Victory Capital.

------

#### Profitability
The Trustees considered information provided by Victory Capital regarding the estimated profitability of Victory Capital with respect to the advisory services proposed to be provided by Victory Capital to the Fund, including the methodology used by Victory Capital in allocating certain of its costs to the management of the Fund. The Trustees also considered Victory Capital's estimated profit margins in connection with the overall operation of the Fund. The Trustees considered the investments Victory Capital expected to make to support and grow the Pioneer funds brand and the costs to integrate the Amundi US/Pioneer Funds business into Victory Capital. The Trustees also considered information regarding Victory Capital's profit margins with respect to the funds it currently manages. The Trustees considered Victory Capital's representation that the fully integrated Amundi US/Pioneer Funds business, including investments to support ongoing growth, was expected to have a positive impact on Victory Capital's overall financial profitability. The Trustees considered Victory Capital's current profit margins in comparison to the limited industry data available and noted that the profitability of any adviser was affected by numerous factors, including its organizational structure and method for allocating expenses. The Trustees concluded that Victory Capital's estimated profitability with respect to the management of the Fund was not unreasonable.

#### Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the extent to which Victory Capital may realize economies of scale or other efficiencies in managing and supporting the Fund. The Trustees noted the breakpoints in the management fee schedule. The Trustees recognize that economies of scale are difficult to identify and quantify, and that, among other factors that may be relevant, are the following: fee levels, expense subsidization, investment by Victory Capital in research and analytical capabilities and Victory Capital's commitment and resource allocation to the Fund. The Trustees noted that profitability also may be an indicator of the availability of any economies of scale, although profitability may vary for other reasons including due to reductions in expenses. The Trustees concluded that economies of scale, if any, would be appropriately shared with the Fund.

#### Other Benefits
The Trustees considered the other benefits that Victory Capital may enjoy from its relationship with the Fund. The Trustees considered the character and amount of fees to be paid by the Fund, other than under the Investment Advisory Agreement, for services to be provided by Victory Capital and its affiliates. The Trustees further considered the revenues and profitability of Victory Capital's businesses other than the Fund business. To the extent applicable, the Trustees also considered the potential benefits to the Fund and to Victory Capital and its affiliates from the use of "soft" commission dollars generated by the Fund to pay for research and brokerage services.

The Trustees noted that the completion of the Transaction would result in a long-term reciprocal distribution partnership between Amundi and Victory Capital, and that Victory Capital may benefit from Amundi's ability to market the services of Victory Capital globally, including in an increase of the overall scale of Victory Capital. The Trustees considered that the Transaction would significantly increase Victory Capital's assets under management and expand Victory Capital's investment capabilities. The Trustees considered that this increased size and diversification could facilitate Victory Capital's continued investment in its business and products, which Victory Capital would be able to leverage across a broader base of assets. The Trustees considered that Victory Capital and the Fund are expected to receive reciprocal intangible benefits from the relationship, including mutual brand recognition. The Trustees concluded that any such benefits received by Victory Capital as a result of its relationship with the Fund were reasonable.

------

#### Conclusion
After consideration of the factors described above as well as other factors, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the Investment Advisory Agreement, including the fees payable thereunder, was fair and reasonable and voted to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement.

#### Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement
Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital") serves as the investment adviser to Victory Pioneer Global Value Fund (the "Fund") pursuant to an investment advisory agreement between Victory Capital and the Fund (the "Investment Advisory Agreement").

The Fund is newly-organized and was established in connection with the reorganization of Pioneer Global Sustainable Value Fund (the "Predecessor Fund") into the Fund (the "Reorganization"). The Predecessor Fund and the Fund entered into the Reorganization in connection with the contribution of Amundi Asset Management US, Inc. ("Amundi US"), the Predecessor Fund's investment adviser, to Victory Capital Holdings, Inc. ("Victory Capital Holdings"), the parent company of Victory Capital (the "Transaction"). The Reorganization was approved by shareholders of the Predecessor Fund at a meeting held on March 27, 2025 and was consummated on April 1, 2025.

The Trustees of the Fund, including all of the Independent Trustees, met to consider the Investment Advisory Agreement at an in-person meeting held on December 16, 2024. The Independent Trustees also served on the Board of Trustees of the Predecessor Fund.

To assist the Trustees in their consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, Victory Capital provided extensive information to the Trustees regarding the Reorganization, the Transaction and the investment advisory services to be provided by Victory Capital under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Before and during the December 16, 2024 meeting, the Trustees sought additional information as they deemed necessary and appropriate. In connection with their consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Independent Trustees worked with their independent legal counsel to prepare requests for additional information that were submitted to Victory Capital and Amundi US. The Trustees' requests for information sought information relevant to the Trustees' consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement and anticipated impacts of the Reorganization and the Transaction on the Fund and its shareholders. The Independent Trustees met with senior management representatives of Victory Capital and Amundi US on numerous occasions to discuss various aspects of the Reorganization and the Transaction, to review information provided to assist the Independent Trustees in their consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Reorganization and the Transaction, and to make supplemental due diligence requests for additional information from Victory Capital and Amundi US with respect to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Reorganization and the Transaction. Victory Capital and Amundi US provided documents and information in response to the requests from the Independent Trustees, as well as made presentations to, and responded to questions from, the Independent Trustees.

------

Prior to voting on the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Independent Trustees reviewed the Reorganization, the Transaction and the Investment Advisory Agreement with representatives of Amundi US and Victory Capital, counsel to the Fund and counsel to the Independent Trustees. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the Reorganization, the Transaction and the Investment Advisory Agreement with their independent legal counsel in private sessions at which no representatives of Amundi US, Victory Capital or counsel to the Fund were present.

The Trustees' evaluation of the Investment Advisory Agreement reflected information provided specifically in connection with their review of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as well as, where relevant, information that was previously furnished to the Independent Trustees in connection with the renewal of the Predecessor Fund's investment advisory agreement with Amundi US (the "Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement") at an in-person meeting of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held on September 17, 2024 and at other meetings of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees throughout the prior year.

Among other things, the Trustees considered:

(i) that, in the Transaction, Amundi US would be combined into Victory Capital Holdings in exchange for shares of Victory Capital Holdings issued to Amundi Asset Management S.A.S. ("Amundi"), the parent company of Amundi US, without Amundi becoming a controlling stockholder of Victory Capital Holdings, and that Victory Capital Holdings and Amundi would establish a long-term reciprocal distribution partnership;

(ii) representations by Victory Capital regarding the reputation, experience, financial strength and resources of Victory Capital and its investment franchises;

(iii) that Victory Capital informed the Trustees that the portfolio managers of the Predecessor Fund were expected to continue to act as portfolio managers of the Fund following the consummation of the Reorganization as members of Pioneer Investments, a planned Victory Capital investment franchise, managing the Fund using the same investment approach under which the Predecessor Fund was managed, and the Trustees considered the historical investment performance record of the Predecessor Fund under such investment approach;

(iv) the non-investment resources, infrastructure and personnel of Victory Capital that would be involved in Victory Capital's services to the Fund, including Victory Capital's legal and operational structure, risk management, administrative, legal, compliance and cybersecurity functions;

(v) Victory Capital's distribution capabilities, including its significant network of intermediary relationships, which may provide additional opportunities for the Fund to grow assets and lower fees and expenses through increased economies of scale;

(vi) Victory Capital's broad distribution network and a large fund family of Victory Funds may also provide opportunities for asset growth for the Fund and economies of scale through the potential to negotiate lower fee rates from service providers and to determine based on the assets of the entire Victory Fund complex;

(vii) the fact that the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Fund would be the same as the contractual advisory fee rate payable by the Predecessor Fund;

(viii) the fact that the Independent Trustees received full comparative fee and expense data in connection with their approval of the continuance of the Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement at the in-person meeting of the Predecessor Fund's Board of Trustees held on September 17, 2024;

(ix) that Victory Capital agreed with the Trustees that, for at least three years after the closing of the Reorganization, Victory Capital would waive fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the Fund's total net annual

------

operating expenses (excluding certain customary items) does not exceed the lower of (i) the total net annual operating expenses associated with investing in the Predecessor Fund after application of expense limitation arrangements in effect for the Predecessor Fund, if any, or (ii) the total net annual operating expenses of the Predecessor Fund as of the end of the Predecessor Fund's most recent fiscal year at the time of the closing of the Reorganization, and that the contractual expense limitation agreement permits Victory Capital to recoup advisory fees waived and expenses reimbursed for up to two years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement took place, subject to the lesser of any operating expense limitation in effect at the time of: (1) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (2) recoupment, after giving effect to the recoupment amount;

(x) that the investment objective, principal investment strategies and principal risks of the Fund are the same as those of the Predecessor Fund, except that the Fund is not required to invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of borrowings, if any, for investment purposes) in securities that Victory Capital believes adhere to "ESG criteria;"

(xi) that Victory Capital had acquired and integrated several investment management companies;

(xii) that Victory Capital had agreed to conduct, and use reasonable best efforts to cause its affiliates to conduct, its business in compliance with Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act so as not to impose an "unfair burden" on the Fund; and

(xiii) the potential benefits to the shareholders of the Fund, including continuity of portfolio management and operating efficiencies due to the greater scale of Victory Capital that may be achieved from the Reorganization.

Certain of these considerations are discussed in more detail below.

The Trustees also requested, obtained and considered the following information in connection with their evaluation of the Reorganization, the Transaction and the Investment Advisory Agreement for the Fund:

(i) memoranda provided by Fund counsel that summarized the legal standards and other considerations that are relevant to the Trustees in their deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement; and (ii) the financial statements of Victory Capital, a profitability analysis provided by Victory Capital, and an analysis from Victory Capital as to possible economies of scale. The Independent Trustees further considered materials provided in connection with their review of the Predecessor Fund Investment Advisory Agreement, including information regarding the qualifications of the investment management team for the Fund, as well as the level of investment by the Fund's portfolio managers in the Fund. In addition, the Independent Trustees considered the information provided at and in connection with regularly scheduled meetings of the Board of Trustees of the Predecessor Fund throughout the year regarding the Predecessor Fund's performance and risk attributes, including through meetings with investment management personnel, and took into account other information related to the Predecessor Fund provided to the Independent Trustees at regularly scheduled meetings.

**CODE OF CONDUCT** 

**FOR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL OFFICER** 

**I.** **Covered Officers/Purpose of the Code** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**A.** This Code of Conduct (the "Code") applies to the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of the Funds, and the "Covered Officers", each of whom is set forth in Exhibit A, for the purpose of promoting:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between
personal and professional relationships;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that a registrant files
with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and in other public communications made by the Trusts;

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. Accountability for adherence to the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**B.** 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** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**B. Obligations of Covered Officers.** Each Covered Officer must:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**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 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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Service as a director on the board of any public or private company; The receipt, as an officer of the Trusts,
of any gift in excess of $100;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**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** 

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 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.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**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** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**A. Responsibilities and conduct.** Each Covered Officer must

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**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.

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

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

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

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

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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.

**VIII.** **Internal Use** 

The Code is intended solely for the internal use by the Trusts and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of the Trusts, as to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion.
