Fund Details
Victory 500 Index Member Overview
Victory 500 Index Member (USSPX) is a passively managed U.S. Equity Large Blend fund. Victory Capital Management Inc. launched the fund in 1996.
The investment seeks to match, before fees and expenses, the performance of the stocks composing the Victory US Large Cap 500 Index. The fund's principal investment strategy is, under normal market conditions, to invest at least 80% of the fund's assets in the common stocks of companies composing the index. In seeking to track the performance of the index, the fund's subadviser attempts to allocate the fund's investments among stocks in approximately the same weightings as the index, beginning with the stocks that make up the larger portion of the index's value.

Assets Under Management
The fund has $4 billion in total assets, which is below the $6 billion average for the Large Blend category.

Victory 500 Index Member has an expense ratio of 0.23%, which is 72% lower than its category average, making the fund expense ratio grade a A. While it is difficult to predict returns, it is known that high annual expense ratios reduce your rate of return, and excessive fees are difficult to overcome. Active management normally comes with higher expense ratios than passive index management. Certain investment categories such as small company and foreign also normally have higher expense ratios. It is best to compare fund expense ratios against the category averages for meaningful assessments.
