David Brown, chairman and CEO of VCTR, said, “This new repurchase program is the largest in our history and allows us to remain flexible and opportunistic with our capital.” He further added “As a growth company, our capital allocation strategy directly supports our strategy for increasing earnings and cash flow.

Supported by its cash flow and earnings strength, Victory Capital is expected to continue with efficient capital distribution activities in the future. Through this, it will keep driving investors’ confidence in the stock.
