Quality Structure

Credit quality ratings on underlying securities of the fund reflect the lowest 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.

The fund's objective is to provide an attractive total return primarily through high current income and secondarily through capital appreciation. The Fund's principal investment strategy is to primarily invest its assets in a broad range of U.S. dollar-denominated high-yield securities, including bonds (often referred to as "junk" bonds), convertible securities, leveraged loans, or preferred stocks, with an emphasis on non-investment-grade debt securities. Although the fund will invest primarily in U.S. securities, it may invest without limit in dollar-denominated foreign securities and to a limited extent in non-dollar-denominated foreign securities, including in each case emerging markets securities.

Carefully consider a fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses before investing. This and other information can be found in the fund's prospectus or, if available, the summary prospectus, which may be obtained by visiting the Mutual Fund and ETF prospectus pages at vcm.com. Read the prospectus 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.

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.

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 U.S. High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Bond Index (BBg US High Yield 2% I C) seeks to measure fixed rate, non-investment grade debt securities that are dollar denominated and nonconvertible. The index limits the maximum exposure to any one issuer to 2%.

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.
