Investment
Review and
Outlook

1997 began with some trepidation among fund managers, whose overriding
concern was, "How long will this scenario of low inflation and high
employment last?" The Federal Reserve Board, which sets monetary policy,
seemed to share this concern when 
it raised the Federal Funds rate by a quarter of a percentage point
in March. This move was deemed "anticipatory" because visible signs
of inflation had not yet kicked in.

The market is concerned about inflation and the resultant impact on
interest rates because this affects the value of the future stream
of cash flows. For now this concern has been lulled by recent economic
reports that indicate that inflation has not yet become a major problem.
Of these, perhaps the most important was the employment cost index
(released April 29) which revealed no appreciable acceleration in
wages and salaries, despite the tightest labor market in some years.

Thus, despite the strong GDP growth rate of 5.8% in the first quarter
of 1997, the Federal Reserve Board left interest rates unchanged at
its subsequent meeting on May 20. The support for this move came in
the form of retail sales, which slipped in April, and factory 
production, which declined for the first time in more than a year. As of 
April, producer prices had also fallen for four months in a row. On the 
flip side, the unemployment rate--the percentage of labor force that 
cannot find work--is at a 30 year low, well below the "natural" rate 
that economists consider sustainable without inflation.

Business cycles--alternate periods of boom and recessions--have been
an inevitable feature of the economy. Given the fact that the current
business expansion has completed its sixth year, and is one of the
longest on record, it is natural for the financial markets to feel
some anxiety. Improved inventory management by companies and more
effective monetary policy by the Fed are possibly stretching out the
current period of expansion. The primary source of current economic
strength is consumer spending, which is being fueled by a strong labor
market and rising income levels. But some of this current strength in 
spending is being borrowed from the future, and therefore it is likely 
that the second half of 1997 will see activity slowing to a more 
sustainable pace.

The Victory Portfolios                     Notes to Financial Statements
Institutional Money Market Fund                           April 30, 1997
                                                             (Unaudited)

1. Organization:

The Victory Portfolios (collectively, the "Funds" and individually,
a "Fund") were organized on February 5, 1986, and are registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the "1940 Act") as
an open-end investment company established as a Delaware business
trust. The Funds are authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares
which are units of beneficial interest without par value. The Funds
presently offer shares of 26 active funds. The accompanying financial
statements and financial highlights are those of the Institutional
Money Market (the "Fund") only. 

The Fund is authorized to issues two classes of shares: Investor Shares
and Select Shares. Each class of shares has identical rights and 
privileges except with respect to fees paid under shareholders service 
plans, expenses allocable exclusively to each class of shares, voting 
rights on matters affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange 
privilege of each class of shares.

The Fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income as is consistent
with preserving capital and providing liquidity.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed
by the Fund in the preparation of their financial statements. The
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting 
principles. The preparation of financial statements requires management 
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the 
reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results 
could differ from those estimates.

Securities Valuation:

Investments of the Fund are valued at either amortized cost which
approximates market value, or at original cost which, combined with
accrued interest, approximates market value. Under the amortized cost
valuation method, discount or premium is amortized on a constant basis
to the maturity of the security. In addition, the Fund may not (a)
purchase any instrument with a remaining maturity greater than 397
days unless such instrument is subject to a demand feature, or (b)
maintain a dollar-weighted-average portfolio maturity which exceeds
90 days.

Securities Transactions and Related Income:

Securities transactions are accounted for on the date the security
is purchased or sold (trade date). Interest income is recognized on
the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the pro rata 
amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Dividend income is 
recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of foreign taxes withheld. Gains 
or losses realized on sales of securities are determined by comparing 
the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales 
proceeds. 

Repurchase Agreements:

The Fund may acquire repurchase agreements from financial institutions
such as banks and broker-dealers which the Fund's investment adviser
deems creditworthy under guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees,
subject to the seller's agreement to repurchase such securities at
a mutually agreed-upon date and price. The repurchase price generally
equals the price paid by a Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis
of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate
on the underlying Fund securities. The seller, under a repurchase
agreement, is required to maintain the value of collateral held pursuant
to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price (including
accrued interest). Securities subject to repurchase agreements are
held by the Fund's custodian or another qualified custodian or in
the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. Repurchase agreements
are considered to be loans by the Fund under the 1940 Act.

Securities Purchased on a When-Issued Basis:

The Fund may purchase securities on a "when-issued" basis. When-issued
securities are securities purchased for delivery beyond the normal
settlement date at a stated price and/or yield, thereby, involving
the risk that the price and/or yield obtained may be more or less
than those available in the market when delivery takes place. At the
time the Fund makes the commitment to purchase a security on a when-
issued basis, the Fund records the transaction and reflects the value of
the security in determining net asset value. Normally, the settlement
date occurs within one month of the purchase. A segregated account
is established and the Fund maintain cash and marketable securities
at least equal in value to commitments for when-issued securities.
Securities purchased on a when-issued basis do not earn income until
settlement date.

Dividends to Shareholders:

Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly
for the Fund. Distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are
declared and distributed at least annually.

Dividends from net investment income and from net realized capital
gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations
which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These
differences are primarily due to differing treatments for mortgage-
backed securities, foreign currency transactions, expiring capital loss 
carryforwards and deferrals of certain losses. Permanent book and tax 
basis differences are reflected in the components of net assets.

Federal Income Taxes:

It is the policy of the Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated
investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain
investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal
Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and
net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or 
substantially all, federal income taxes.

Other:

Expenses that are directly related to one of the Fund are charged
directly to that Fund. Other operating expenses of the Fund are prorated
on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate basis. Fees
paid under the Fund's shareholder servicing or distribution plans
are borne by the specific class of shares to which they apply.

3. Related Party Transactions:

Investment advisory services are provided to the Fund by Key Asset
Management Inc. ("the Adviser"), a wholly owned subsidiary of KeyBank
National Association ("Key"), formerly Society National Bank, a wholly
owned subsidiary of KeyCorp. On February 28, 1997, Key Asset Management
Inc. became the surviving corporation after the reorganization of
four indirect investment adviser subsidiaries of KeyCorp, including
KeyCorp Mutual Fund Advisers. Under the terms of the investment advisory
agreements, the Adviser is entitled to receive fees based on a 
percentage of the average daily net assets of the Fund. KeyTrust Company 
of Ohio N.A., serving as custodian for all of the Fund, received 
custodian fees in addition to reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket 
expenses incurred.

Key and its affiliated brokerage and banking companies also serve
as Shareholder Servicing Agents for the Institutional Money Market
Fund (Select Shares). As such, Key and its affiliates provide support
services to their clients who are shareholders, which may include
establishing and maintaining accounts and records, processing dividend
and distribution payments, providing account information, assisting
in processing of purchase, exchange and redemption requests, and 
assisting shareholders in changing dividend options, account 
designations and addresses. For providing such services, Key and its 
affiliates may receive a fee of up to 0.25% of the average daily net 
assets of the Fund serviced. 

BISYS Fund Services (the "Administrator"), an indirect, wholly-owned
subsidiary of The BISYS Group, Inc. ("BISYS") serves as the 
administrator and distributor to the Fund. Certain officers of the Fund 
are affiliated with BISYS. Such officers receive no direct payments or 
fees from the Fund for serving as officers of the Fund.

Under the terms of the administration agreement, the Administrator's
fee is computed at the annual rate of 0.15% of the average daily net
assets of the Fund.

Fees may be voluntarily reduced to assist the Fund in maintaining
competitive expense ratios.
