Past performance does not guarantee future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current performance may be lower or higher. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. ETF shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Market price returns are based on price of the last reported trade on the fund’s primary exchange. If you trade your shares at another time, your return may differ. ETF redemptions are limited and commissions are often charged on each trade. ETFs may trade at a premium or discount to their net asset value.

Returns include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Performance for periods greater than one year is annualized.

Fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements were in place for some or all periods shown, without which, fund performance would have been lower.

Net expense ratios reflect the contractual waiver and/or reimbursement of management fees through October 31, 2024.

High, double-digit returns are highly unusual and cannot be sustained. Investors should be aware that these returns were primarily achieved during favorable market conditions. 

Calendar year returns are shown at NAV.

Quality Structure

Credit quality ratings on underlying securities of the fund reflect the highest long-term rating from S&P, Moody’s, or Fitch, and are converted to the equivalent S&P major rating category. S&P rates securities in descending order as AAA, AA, A, BBB, BB, B, CCC, CC, C and D. Unrated securities do not necessarily indicate low quality. Below-investment-grade is represented by a rating of BB and below. Quality ratings are subject to change.

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 vcm.com/prospectus. Read it carefully before investing.

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

The Fund has the same risks as the underlying securities traded on the exchange throughout the day and will incur the expenses of the underlying ETFs in which it invests. ETFs may trade at a premium or discount to their net asset value.

In addition to the normal risks associated with investing, fixed income securities are subject to interest rate, inflation, credit and default risk. The bond market is volatile. Bonds and bond funds will decrease in value as interest rates rise and vice versa. Credit risk refers to the possibility that debt issuers may not be able to make principal and interest payments or may have their debt downgraded by ratings agencies.

High yield securities may be more volatile, be subject to greater levels of credit or default risk, and may be less liquid and more difficult to sell at an advantageous time or price than higher-rated securities of similar maturity. 

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 Bloomberg 1–3 Year Credit Index (BBg US Agg Credit (1-3 Y) measures the performance of investment grade corporate debt and sovereign, supranational, local authority and non-U.S. agency bonds that have a remaining maturity of at least one year and less than three years.

Neither Morningstar nor its content providers are responsible for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

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.
