Fees and Expenses

We are committed to being fully transparent about fees and expenses, enabling investors to make informed decisions.

Annual Fund Operating Expenses of the member shares of the Fund are listed below. The Expense Calculator is provided to help you assess the impact of operating expenses on the Fund’s potential returns.  The calculator allows you to assume that you have made a hypothetical investment of any amount for a 10-year period, and that your investment earns a 5% return each year. The example assumes that the Fund’s net operating expenses through Year 1 and 2 are the same as those shown in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses table of the Fund’s Prospectus under “Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver/Expense Reimbursement” and, for all subsequent periods are the same as those shown under “Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses.” The example reflects the impact of sales loads where applicable. Based on these assumptions, the calculator shows, for each year and cumulatively for all 10 years, (1) the fees and the costs (the “Expenses”) associated with your investment and (2) the difference (the “Dollar Impact on Return”) between your return if the Fund had not incurred the Expenses and your return after giving effect to the Expenses. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

Carefully consider a fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses before investing. To obtain a prospectus or summary prospectus containing this and other important information, visit www.vcm.com/prospectus. Read it carefully before investing.

All investing involves risk, including the potential loss of principal.

Other share classes are available. Not all share classes are available to all investors.

Investments in small- and mid-cap companies typically exhibit higher volatility.

To the extent the Fund invests in a small number of issuers, its value may be more negatively affected by the decline in market value of a particular security than if the Fund invested in a larger number of issuers.

International investments may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuation in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles or from economic or political instability in other nations.

Investments concentrated in an industry or group of industries may face more risks and exhibit higher volatility than investments that are more broadly diversified over industries or sectors.

The profitability of companies in the healthcare sector may be affected by government regulations and healthcare programs, fluctuations in the cost of, and demand for, medical products and services and product liability claims.

Investments in companies in the industrials sector, including producers of durable goods and companies that process raw materials, may be adversely affected by changes in supply and demand for products and services, governmental regulation and changes spending policies, world events and economic conditions.

Information technology companies are particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technological product cycles, severe competition and government regulation.

The Fund may frequently change its holdings, resulting in higher fees, lower returns, and more capital gains.

The value of your investment is also subject to geopolitical risks such as wars, terrorism, environmental disasters, and public health crises; the risk of technology malfunctions or disruptions; and the responses to such events by governments and/or individual companies.

The Morningstar RatingTM for funds, or “star rating,” is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed- end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product’s monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The Morningstar Rating does not include any adjustment for sales loads. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods.

Fund performance used for the rankings reflects certain fee waivers, without which, Morningstar rankings would have been lower and Morningstar ratings may have been lower.
