Introduction to Corporate Social Responsibility
Victory Capital began the year with a familiar challenge: a changing pandemic that complicated our employees' safe return to the office. Still our employees' underlying energy and determination to deliver for our clients and shareholders never wavered.
Our people are a driving force behind many of the accomplishments detailed in this report, and they will help tell the story of our 2021 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Responsible Investing (RI) accomplishments.
Creating an inclusive culture
Victory Capital is focused on creating an inclusive culture because we understand it is a crucial aspect of effective teams. Our employees come from diverse backgrounds, and it is imperative that everyone feels valued and respected at work.
Teambuilding
We established a teambuilding platform intended to strengthen the bonds between co-workers across functional and departmental lines. Victory’s online bulletin board, Voices of Appreciation, lets Victory Capital colleagues recognize team members in other departments for their exceptional performance.

Diversity and inclusion training
Today’s workforce is as diverse as it has ever been, and this usually beneficial group dynamic provides many opportunities for potential conflict, shared understanding, and ongoing improvement.
Our strategic alliance with Xavier University of Louisiana
In April 2021, Victory Capital proudly announced a strategic alliance with XULA, America’s only historically Black Roman Catholic university.
Our primary objective for entering into this relationship includes promoting a robust pipeline of high-quality candidates to build their careers in the investment management industry.
Compound Return - Investment in the Future
To put into perspective our vision of the strategic alliance we have with Xavier University of Louisiana, consider the potential impact this may have on students. Perhaps one or more of the Victory Capital Scholars, or those working on the investment fund, could become summer interns at our company.

Responsible investing
Victory Capital believes that investing in sustainable companies may improve risk-adjusted performance over time. Companies that are able to properly manage their material ESG risks (or take advantage of their specific ESG opportunities) are often more sustainable than their competitors. In some cases, they may also produce better long-term investment returns for shareholders.
Franchise Profile – THB Asset Management
THB is made up of a diverse team of investment professionals from all over the world, whose varied experiences and opinions inform their investment decisions.
THB seeks opportunities in capacity-constrained asset classes such as small- and micro-capitalization companies. The availability of third-party ESG research in these asset classes is scarce. So, THB developed a proprietary ESG rating system.
