## Frequently Asked Questions

### What does CFO invest in?

The VictoryShares US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF aims to mirror the investment performance of the Nasdaq Victory US Large Cap 500 Long/Cash Volatility Weighted Index (referred to as the Long/Cash Index), prior to any fees or expenses. This fund employs a distinctive volatility weighting approach, which integrates fundamental criteria to potentially outperform conventional market capitalization-weighted indexing strategies. The underlying Long/Cash Index strategically reduces its equity market exposure during periods of significant downturns, then re-enters the market once asset prices have either fallen further or recovered. The Long/Cash Index's valuation is derived from the month-end price of the Nasdaq Victory US Large Cap 500 Volatility Weighted Index, known as the "Reference Index." Its tactical exit and reinvestment decisions are driven by the Reference Index's month-end value in comparison to its All-Time Highest Daily Closing Value (AHDCV), which signifies the highest daily closing price the Reference Index has achieved since its creation.

### How does CFO charge its expense ratio?

The expense ratio is deducted in tiny daily slices from CFO's net asset value (NAV). You never see a bill. The price quoted on every exchange is already net of fees. There's no "fee day" to avoid; the cost is continuous and built into the trading price.

### Why does CFO cost more than a fund like VOO?

CFO's strategy (current expense ratio 0.39%) is different from a broad-market index tracker like VOO, so its fee belongs to a different cohort. The Cost Verdict card above shows you where CFO sits within its own category, which is the comparison that actually matters.
