For more specific information, please consult your tax adviser.

(Unaudited)

Dear Shareholder,

As we turn the page into a new decade, it's hard not to reflect on the fact that we have been enjoying the longest-ever bull market in U.S. equities. The run has been impressive, and despite periods of tumult and plenty of negative news, the bull market endured throughout 2019.

For the annual reporting period ended December 31, 2019, the S&P 500® Index ("S&P 500") posted impressive gains of almost 29%. This represents the greatest one-year gain since 2013 and also illustrates a swift bounce-back after a precipitous drop late in 2018. The move higher supports the notion that underlying fundamentals of U.S. companies drive performance, rather than the political news and headline fears that often capture the attention of investors.

Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised at the impressive performance of equities. The U.S. economy—the world's largest—remains on solid footing and has been a key driver of both domestic and international stocks. Robust job creation, near-record low unemployment, and steady consumer spending continue and offer reasons for further optimism. Meanwhile, inflation remains muted, and the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") and other major global central banks have taken an accommodative stance. In fact, the Fed has cut interest rates by a total of 0.75% over three meetings last July, September, and October.

The risk-on attitudes of investors, coupled with the accommodative monetary policy, had an expected impact on U.S. Treasury yields. The 10-year Treasury yield declined significantly over the course of 2019, falling from 2.66% to 1.92% at year-end. More interesting, however, was that the yield on 10-year Treasurys fell below shorter-term yields for the first time since before the 2007-2008 Global Financial Crisis. This inverted yield curve spooked investors for a spell, only to revert back to a traditional upward sloping yield curve by the end of 2019.

The robust domestic economy, low interest rates, and ample liquidity from central banks provided a potent tonic for the stock market in 2019. In fact, at year-end 2019, the S&P 500 was approaching its highest valuation level since 1999. This reminds all of us to retain some historical context on the bull market. Many of us remember the Global Financial Crisis and, before that, the collapse of the dot-com bubble. Although those are now but a distant memory (and we are not forecasting such tumult), we should not forget that stocks don't always go up and cycles don't last forever. In other words, valuations still matter.

The key point is not to discount the risks. In addition to lofty valuations, investors need to keep apprised of trade disputes, geopolitical hotspots, a contentious U.S. election, and a host of other potential headwinds. Yet it is these very risks—these cross-currents—that may create pricing dislocations. This is an environment in which we believe our Victory Capital independent investment franchises can thrive.

On the following pages, you will find information relating to your USAA Funds investment. If you have any questions, we encourage you to contact your financial adviser. Or, if you invest with us directly, you may call (800) 235-8396, or visit our website at www.usaa.com.

Manager's Commentary

Victory Solutions

Mannik S. Dhillon, CFA, CAIA

Wasif A. Latif

•  What where the market conditions during the reporting period?

The broad U.S. equity market as measured by the S&P 500® Index registered a very strong return for 2019, outpacing the return of the Wilshire 4500 Completion IndexSM (the "Benchmark Index") despite a few trade war related scares in the middle of the year. The market staged a strong fourth quarter to end the year and continued the longest bull market on record. U.S. equity securities surged during the year, aided by clear messaging from the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") of a continued accommodative stance along with additional liquidity in the overnight interbank lending market. Indications of continued U.S. economic growth led by the consumer, as well as improvement in economic activity overseas, boosted investor confidence. This confluence of a stable economic environment, an accommodative Fed, and a resolution in sight for the trade war helped push stocks higher throughout the year.

•  How did the USAA Extended Market Index Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?

Against this backdrop, the Fund posted a strong total return of 27.94% for the reporting period ended December 31, 2019, while its Benchmark Index posted a return of 28.05%.

•  Please describe sector performance during the reporting period

During the year, in terms of sector returns within the Benchmark Index, information technology stocks were the highlight performers, while communications services and consumer discretionary also were strong contributors. Energy stocks trailed the rest of the market through this period.

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your investment needs.

Effective July 1, 2019, the Wilshire 4500 Completion Index replaced the Dow Jones U.S. Completion Total Stock Market Index as the Fund's primary broad-based securities market index in connection with a change in the Fund's investment objective.

High double-digit returns are attributable, in part, to unusually favorable market conditions and may not be repeated or consistently achieved in the future.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. To obtain performance information current to the most recent month's end, please visit www.usaa.com.

Total return measures the price change in a share assuming the reinvestment of all net investment income and realized capital gain distributions, if any. The total returns quoted do not reflect adjustments made to the enclosed financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles or the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on net investment income and realized capital gain distributions, including reinvested distributions, or redemptions of shares.

The total return figures set forth above include all waivers of fees for various periods since inception. Without such fee waivers, the total returns would have been lower.

Investment Overview (continued)

USAA Extended Market Index Fund — Growth of $10,000

1The Wilshire 4500 Completion Index is a market cap-weighted index consisting of the small and mid-cap companies in the U.S. equity market. The Index consists of securities within the Wilshire 5000 Total Market Index (Parent Index) after eliminating the companies included in the S&P 500 Index. The Parent Index measures performance of all U.S. equity securities with readily available price data. There are no expenses associated with the index, while there are expenses associated with the Fund. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

2The Dow Jones U.S. Completion Total Stock Market Index is a subset of the Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index that excludes components of the S&P 500 Index. The Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index is an all-inclusive measure composed of all U.S. equity securities with readily available prices. This broad index is divided according to stock-size segment, style, and sector to create distinct sub-indexes that track every major segment of the market. There are no expenses associated with the index, while there are expenses associated with the Fund. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

The graph reflects investment of growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

Dow Jones U.S. Completion Total Stock Market Index is a service mark of Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Dow Jones will have no liability in connection with the Fund. Specifically, Dow Jones makes no warranty, express or implied, and Dow Jones disclaims any warranty about: the results to be obtained by the Fund, the owner of the Fund, or any other person in connection with the use of the Dow Jones U.S. Completion Total Stock Market Index and the data included in the Dow Jones U.S. Completion Total Stock Market Index; the accuracy or completeness of the Dow Jones U.S. Completion Total Stock Market Index and any related data; the merchantability and the fitness for a particular purpose or use of the Dow Jones U.S. Completion Total Stock Market Index and/or its related data; Dow Jones will have no liability for any errors, omissions, or interruptions in the Dow Jones U.S. Completion Total Stock Market Index or related data; under no circumstances will Dow Jones be liable for any lost profits or indirect, punitive, special, or consequential damages or losses, even if Dow Jones knows that they might occur.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA Extended Market Index Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA Extended Market Index Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting the USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of December 31, 2019, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund at December 31, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

                                   

 

We have served as the auditor of one or more Victory Capital investment companies since 1995.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2019
 

1. Organization:

USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 47 funds and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with no par value.

The accompanying financial statements are those of the USAA Extended Market Index Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.

On November 6, 2018, United Services Automobile Association ("USAA"), the parent company of USAA Asset Management Company ("AMCO"), the investment adviser to the Fund, and USAA Transfer Agency Company, d/b/a USAA Shareholder Account Services ("SAS"), the transfer agent to the Fund, announced that AMCO and SAS would be acquired by Victory Capital Holdings Inc., a global investment management firm headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio (the "Transaction"). The Transaction closed on July 1, 2019. A special shareholder meeting was held on April 18, 2019, at which shareholders of the Fund approved a new investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or "Adviser"). Effective July 1, 2019, VCM replaced AMCO as the investment adviser to the Fund and Victory Capital Transfer Agency Company replaced SAS as the Fund's transfer agent. In addition, effective on that same date, shareholders of the Fund also elected the following two new directors to the Board of the Trust to serve upon the closing of the Transaction: (1) David C. Brown, to serve as an Interested Trustee; and (2) John C. Walters, to serve as an Independent Trustee.

Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent 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. The Fund follows the specialized accounting and reporting requirements under GAAP that are applicable to investment companies under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.

Investment Valuation:

The Fund records investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Fund's investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

• Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities or interest rates applicable to those securities, etc.)

• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuation techniques are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with entering into those investments.


52



USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements — continued
December 31, 2019
 

The Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") has established the Pricing and Liquidity Committee (the "Committee"), and subject to Board oversight, the Committee administers and oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures, which are approved by the Board.

Portfolio securities listed or traded on securities exchanges, including exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") and Rights, are valued at the closing price on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, if available, or the over-the-counter markets, are valued at the last sales price or official closing price. If there have been no sales for that day on the exchange or system, then a security is valued at the last available bid quotation on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded. In each of these situations, valuations typically are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value. These valuations typically are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Futures are valued at the settlement price at the close of market on the principal exchange on which they are traded or, in the absence of any transactions that day, the last sale on the prior trading date. These valuations typically are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Debt securities of United States ("U.S.") issuers, along with corporate and municipal securities, including short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less, may be valued using evaluated bid or the last sales price to price securities by dealers or an independent pricing service approved by the Board. These valuations typically are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Effective July 1, 2019 the valuation methodology applied to certain debt securities changed. Securities that were previously valued at an evaluated mean are now valued at the evaluated bid or the last sales price.

In the event that price quotations or valuations are not readily available, are not reflective of market value, or a significant event has been recognized in relation to a security or class of securities, the securities are valued in good faith by the Committee in accordance with valuation procedures approved by the Board. These valuations typically are categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, based on the observability of inputs used to determine the fair value. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and the actual price realized from the sale of a security may differ materially from the fair value price. Valuing these securities at fair value is intended to cause the Fund's net asset value ("NAV") to be more reliable than it otherwise would be.

A summary of the valuations as of December 31, 2019, based upon the three levels defined above, is included in the table below while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed in the Schedule of Portfolio Investments (amounts in thousands):

Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"):

The Fund may invest in REITs, which report information on the source of their distributions annually. REITs are pooled investment vehicles that invest primarily in income producing real estate or real estate related loans or interests (such as mortgages). Certain distributions received from REITs during the year are recorded as realized gains or return of capital as estimated by the Fund or when such information becomes known.

Investment Companies:

The Fund may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the board of directors of the underlying funds.

Derivative Instruments:

Futures Contracts:

The Fund may enter into contracts for the future delivery of securities or foreign currencies and futures contracts based on a specific security, class of securities, foreign currency or an index, and purchase or sell options on any such futures contracts. A futures contract on a securities index is an agreement obligating either party to pay, and entitling the other party to receive, while the contract is outstanding, cash payments based on the level of a specified securities index. No physical delivery of the underlying asset is made. The Fund may use futures contracts to gain exposure to, or hedge against, changes in the value of equities, interest rates, or foreign currencies. The acquisition of put and call options on futures contracts will give the Fund the right (but not the obligation), for a specified price, to sell or to purchase the underlying futures contract, upon exercise of the option, at any time during the option period. Futures transactions involve brokerage costs and require the Fund to segregate assets to cover contracts that would require it to purchase securities or currencies. A good faith margin deposit, known as initial margin, of cash or government securities with a broker or custodian is required to initiate and maintain open positions in futures contracts. Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund based on the change in the market value of the position and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is closed out, at which time the gain or loss is realized. The Fund may lose the expected benefit of futures transactions if interest rates, exchange rates or securities prices change in an unanticipated manner. Such unanticipated changes may also result in lower overall performance than if the Fund had not entered into any futures transactions. In addition, the value of the Fund's futures positions may not prove to be perfectly or even highly correlated with the value of its portfolio securities or foreign currencies, limiting the Fund's ability to hedge effectively against interest rate, exchange rate and/or market risk and giving rise to additional risks. There is no assurance of liquidity in the secondary market for purposes of closing out futures positions. With exchange-listed futures contracts, counterparty credit risk to the Fund is limited to the exchange's clearinghouse which, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures contracts, guarantees the transactions against default from the actual counterparty to the transaction. The Fund's derivative agreements held at December 31, 2019, did not include master netting provisions.

All open derivative positions at year end are reflected in the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The underlying face value of open derivative positions relative to the Fund's net assets at year end is generally representative of the notional amount of open positions to net assets throughout the year.

Investment Transactions and Related Income:

Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discount. 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.

Withholding taxes on interest, dividends and gains as a result of certain investments in ADRs by the Fund have been provided for in accordance with each investment's applicable country's tax rules and rates.

Securities Lending:

The Fund, through a securities lending agreement with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), may lend its securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. Borrowers are required to secure their loans for collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non-U.S. securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls associated with increases in the valuation of the securities loaned are cured the next business day once the shortfall exceeds $100 thousand. Collateral may be cash, U.S. government securities, or other securities as permitted by SEC guidelines. Cash collateral may be invested in high-quality short-term investments, primarily open-end investment companies. Collateral requirements are determined daily based on the value of the Fund's securities on loan as of the end of the prior business day. During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the Fund any dividends or interest paid on such securities plus any fee negotiated between the parties to the lending agreement. The Fund also earns a return from the collateral. The Fund pays Citibank various fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral and fees based on the investment income received from securities lending activities. Securities lending income (net of these fees) is disclosed on the Statement of Operations. Loans are terminable upon demand and the borrower must return the loaned securities within the lesser of one standard settlement period or five business days. Risks relating to securities-lending transactions include that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or return the securities when due, and that the value of the short-term investments will be less than the amount of cash collateral required to be returned to the borrower. The Fund's agreement with Citibank does not include master netting provisions. Non-cash collateral received by the Fund may not be sold or re-pledged except to satisfy borrower default. Cash collateral is listed in the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments and Financial Statements while non-cash collateral is not included. The following table (amounts in thousands) is a summary of the Fund's securities lending transactions as of December 31, 2019:

It is the Fund's policy 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 gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Fund has a tax year end of December 31.

Management of the Fund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.

Allocations:

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund, while expenses that are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust, or jointly with an affiliated trust, are allocated among the respective funds in the Trust and/or affiliated trust based upon net assets or another appropriate basis.

3. Purchases and Sales:

Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. Interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures, which are capitalized in accordance with GAAP, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund's business are excluded from the expense limits. Effective July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019, the expense limit (excluding voluntary waivers) is 0.43%.

Under this expense limitation agreement, the Fund has agreed to repay fees and expenses that were waived or reimbursed by the Adviser for a period up to three years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement took place, subject to the lesser of any operating expense limits in effect at the time of: (a) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (b) the recoupment, after giving effect to the recoupment amount. As of December 31, 2019, there are no amounts available to be repaid to the Adviser.

The Adviser, may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Fund in maintaining competitive expense ratios.

Certain officers and/or interested trustees of the Fund are also officers and/or employees of the Adviser, Administrator, Sub-Administrator, Sub-Fund Accountant, and Legal.

5. Risks:

The Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.

The equity securities held in the Fund are subject to stock market risk. A company's stock price in general may decline over short or even extended periods, regardless of the success or failure of a company's operations. Stock markets tend to run in cycles, with periods when stock prices generally go up and periods when stock prices generally go down. Equity securities tend to be more volatile than debt securities.

The Fund invests in small- and mid-cap companies, which may be more vulnerable than larger companies to adverse business or economic conditions. Securities of small- and mid-cap companies may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of larger companies or the market in general and, therefore, may involve greater risk than investing in securities of larger companies.

The Fund may invest in futures, options, and other types of derivatives linked to the performance of the Index or other indices that are highly correlated with the Index. Risks associated with derivatives include the risk that the derivative is not well-correlated with the security, index, ETF, or currency to which it relates; the risk that derivatives used for risk management or to gain market exposure may not have the intended effects and may result in losses, underperformance, or missed opportunities; the risk that the Fund will be unable to sell the derivative because of an illiquid secondary market; the risk that a counterparty is unwilling or unable to meet its obligation; the risk of interest rate movements; and the risk that the derivatives transaction could expose the Fund to the effects of leverage, which could increase the Fund's market exposure, magnify investment risks and losses, and cause losses to be realized more quickly. There is no guarantee that derivative techniques will be employed or that they will work as intended, and their use could lower returns or even result in losses to the Fund.

6. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:

Line of Credit:

Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, the Victory Funds Complex participates in a short-term, demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex could borrow up to $600 million, of which $300 million is committed and $300 million is uncommitted. $40 million of the Line of Credit is reserved for use by the Victory Floating Rate Fund, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with that Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the agreement is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. Citibank receives an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $300 million for providing the Line of Credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex pays a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest (one month LIBOR plus one percent) on amounts borrowed. Interest charged to the Fund during the period is presented on the Statement of Operations under line of credit fees.

Prior to the Transaction on July 1, 2019, the line of credit among the Trust, with respect to its funds, and USAA Capital Corporation ("CAPCO") terminated. For the period from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019, the Fund paid CAPCO facility fees of $3 thousand.

The Fund had no borrowings under either agreement with Citibank or CAPCO during the year ended December 31, 2019.

Interfund Lending:

Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, the Trust and Adviser rely on an exemptive order granted by the SEC in March 2017 (the "Order"), permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the "Facility"). The Facility allows the Fund to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other Fund in the Victory Fund Complex relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are allowed for temporary or emergency purposes. The interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. As a Borrower, interest charged to the Fund during the period is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Interest expense on Interfund lending. As a Lender, interest earned by the Fund during the period is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Income on Interfund lending.

The Fund did not utilize or participate in the Facility during the period from July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019.

7. Federal Income Tax Information:

The Fund intends to distribute any net investment income annually. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.

The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax

regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The following permanent reclassifications were made between capital accounts to reflect the portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders that was claimed as a distribution for income tax purposes during the year ended December 31, 2019 (amounts in thousands):

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019.

The Actual Expense figures in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

The Hypothetical Expense figures in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note the expenses shown in the table below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Dear Shareholder,

As we turn the page into a new decade, it's hard not to reflect on the fact that we have been enjoying the longest-ever bull market in U.S. equities. The run has been impressive, and despite periods of tumult and plenty of negative news, the bull market endured throughout 2019.

For the annual reporting period ended December 31, 2019, the S&P 500® Index ("S&P 500") posted impressive gains of almost 29%. This represents the greatest one-year gain since 2013 and also illustrates a swift bounce-back after a precipitous drop late in 2018. The move higher supports the notion that underlying fundamentals of U.S. companies drive performance, rather than the political news and headline fears that often capture the attention of investors.

Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised at the impressive performance of equities. The U.S. economy—the world's largest—remains on solid footing and has been a key driver of both domestic and international stocks. Robust job creation, near-record low unemployment, and steady consumer spending continue and offer reasons for further optimism. Meanwhile, inflation remains muted, and the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") and other major global central banks have taken an accommodative stance. In fact, the Fed has cut interest rates by a total of 0.75% over three meetings last July, September, and October.

The risk-on attitudes of investors, coupled with the accommodative monetary policy, had an expected impact on U.S. Treasury yields. The 10-year Treasury yield declined significantly over the course of 2019, falling from 2.66% to 1.92% at year-end. More interesting, however, was that the yield on 10-year Treasurys fell below shorter-term yields for the first time since before the 2007-2008 Global Financial Crisis. This inverted yield curve spooked investors for a spell, only to revert back to a traditional upward sloping yield curve by the end of 2019.

The robust domestic economy, low interest rates, and ample liquidity from central banks provided a potent tonic for the stock market in 2019. In fact, at year-end 2019, the S&P 500 was approaching its highest valuation level since 1999. This reminds all of us to retain some historical context on the bull market. Many of us remember the Global Financial Crisis and, before that, the collapse of the dot-com bubble. Although those are now but a distant memory (and we are not forecasting such tumult), we should not forget that stocks don't always go up and cycles don't last forever. In other words, valuations still matter.

The key point is not to discount the risks. In addition to lofty valuations, investors need to keep apprised of trade disputes, geopolitical hotspots, a contentious U.S. election, and a host of other potential headwinds. Yet it is these very risks—these cross-currents—that may create pricing dislocations. This is an environment in which we believe our Victory Capital independent investment franchises can thrive.

On the following pages, you will find information relating to your USAA Funds investment. If you have any questions, we encourage you to contact your financial adviser. Or, if you invest with us directly, you may call (800) 235-8396, or visit our website at www.usaa.com.

USAA Global Managed Volatility Fund

Manager's Commentary

Victory Solutions
Wasif A. Latif
Lance Humphrey, CFA

•  How did the global financial markets perform during the reporting period?

The broad U.S. equity market as measured by the S&P 500® Index registered a very strong return for 2019, outpacing the return of global stocks as measured by the MSCI All-Country World Index. Despite a few trade war related scares in the middle of the year, the market staged a strong fourth quarter to end the year and continued the longest bull market on record. U.S. equities surged during the year, aided by clear messaging from the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") of a continued accommodative stance along with additional liquidity in the overnight interbank lending market. Indications of continued U.S. economic growth led by the consumer, as well as improvement in economic activity overseas, boosted investor confidence. This confluence of a stable economic environment, an accommodative Fed, and a resolution in sight for the trade war helped push stocks higher throughout the year.

Growth-style investments continued their outperformance of the past few years in 2019 with a strong showing, led by information technology and communication services domestically, while the value-style investments underperformed the market. Regionally, the U.S. market outperformed the non-U.S. markets, aided by the information technology companies that also are globally dominant in their industries.

•  How did the USAA Global Managed Volatility Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?

The Fund has two share classes: Fund Shares and Institutional Shares. For the reporting period ended December 31, 2019, the Fund Shares and Institutional Shares had total returns of 21.69% and 21.97%, respectively. This compares to total returns of 26.60% for the MSCI All-Country World Index (the "Index") and 18.98% for the Global Managed Volatility Composite Index.

•  Please discuss the factors that helped and hurt performance during the reporting period.

The Fund seeks to provide diversified exposure to global equities through investments in individual stocks and exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"). We strive to construct a portfolio that can participate in equities' longer-term performance while also managing the risk of large market downturns.

The Fund performed as expected in 2019, posting very strong absolute returns, but lagging the even stronger return of global stocks. The Fund's risk-conscious approach of emphasizing quality, value, and lower volatility stocks within each region and sector was a drag on its relative performance given the strength of the market in the year. During the two instances of market volatility in the middle of the year, our emphasis on risk


4



USAA Mutual Funds Trust (Unaudited)

USAA Global Managed Volatility Fund (continued)

management added value amid the downturn in stock prices. However, the overall sentiment of the year was one of risk on, and the Fund is likely to lag in such an environment.

Our emphasis on companies with attractive valuations and improving fundamentals put the portfolio somewhat out of step with the stronger showing for lower-quality and momentum-driven stocks through the end of year, especially in the fourth quarter. In addition, our value-oriented posture prevented us from fully participating in the strong returns for the growth style in that time.

The Fund's hedging strategy, which is designed to help cushion the impact of large stock market sell-offs, was also a modest detractor due its drag on return in the year. The Fund established its hedges by using derivatives; specifically, options on the S&P 500 Index.

Thank you for allowing us to help you manage your investments.

Total return measures the price change in a share assuming the reinvestment of all net investment income and realized capital gain distributions, if any. The total returns quoted do not reflect adjustments made to the enclosed financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles or the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on net investment income and realized capital gain distributions, including reinvested distributions, or redemptions of shares.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA Global Managed Volatility Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA Global Managed Volatility Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting the USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of December 31, 2019, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund at December 31, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

                                   

 

We have served as the auditor of one or more Victory Capital investment companies since 1995.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2019
 

1. Organization:

USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 47 funds and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with no par value.

The accompanying financial statements are those of the USAA Global Managed Volatility Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers two classes of shares: Fund Shares and Institutional Shares. The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.

Each class of shares of the Fund has substantially identical rights and privileges except with respect to fees paid under distribution plans, expenses allocable exclusively to each class of shares, voting rights on matters solely affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange privilege of each class of shares.

On November 6, 2018, United Services Automobile Association ("USAA"), the parent company of USAA Asset Management Company ("AMCO"), the investment adviser to the Fund, and USAA Transfer Agency Company, d/b/a USAA Shareholder Account Services ("SAS"), the transfer agent to the Fund, announced that AMCO and SAS would be acquired by Victory Capital Holdings Inc., a global investment management firm headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio (the "Transaction"). The Transaction closed on July 1, 2019. A special shareholder meeting was held on April 18, 2019, at which shareholders of the Fund approved a new investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or "Adviser"). Effective July 1, 2019, VCM replaced AMCO as the investment adviser to the Fund and Victory Capital Transfer Agency Company replaced SAS as the Fund's transfer agent. In addition, effective on that same date, shareholders of the Fund also elected the following two new directors to the Board of the Trust to serve upon the closing of the Transaction: (1) David C. Brown, to serve as an Interested Trustee; and (2) John C. Walters, to serve as an Independent Trustee.

Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent 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. The Fund follows the specialized accounting and reporting requirements under GAAP that are applicable to investment companies under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.

Investment Valuation:

The Fund records investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Fund's investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

• Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities or interest rates applicable to those securities, etc.)


26



USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements — continued
December 31, 2019
 

• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuation techniques are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with entering into those investments.

The Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") has established the Pricing and Liquidity Committee (the "Committee"), and subject to Board oversight, the Committee administers and oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures, which are approved by the Board.

Portfolio securities listed or traded on securities exchanges, including exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), and Rights, are valued at the closing price on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, if available, or the over-the-counter markets, are valued at the last sales price or official closing price. If there have been no sales for that day on the exchange or system, then a security is valued at the last available bid quotation on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded. In each of these situations, valuations typically are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value. These valuations typically are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Futures are valued at the settlement price at the close of market on the principal exchange on which they are traded or, in the absence of any transactions that day, the last sale on the prior trading date. These valuations typically are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Options are valued by a pricing service at the National Best Bid/Offer (NBBO) composite price, which is derived from the best available bid and ask price in all participating options exchanges determined to most closely reflect market value of the options at the time of computation of the Fund's NAV. These valuations typically are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Debt securities of United States ("U.S.") issuers, along with corporate and municipal securities, including short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less, may be valued using evaluated bid or the last sales price to price securities by dealers or an independent pricing service approved by the Board. These valuations typically are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Effective July 1, 2019 the valuation methodology applied to certain debt securities changed. Securities that were previously valued at an evaluated mean are now valued at the evaluated bid or the last sales price.

In the event that price quotations or valuations are not readily available, are not reflective of market value, or a significant event has been recognized in relation to a security or class of securities, the securities are valued in good faith by the Committee in accordance with valuation procedures approved by the Board. These valuations typically are categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, based on the observability of inputs used to determine the fair value. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and the actual price realized from the sale of a security may differ materially from the fair value price. Valuing these securities at fair value is intended to cause the Fund's net asset value ("NAV") to be more reliable than it otherwise would be.

In accordance with procedures adopted by the Board, fair value pricing may be used if events materially affecting the value of foreign securities occur between the time the exchange on which they are traded closes and the time the Fund's net asset value is calculated. The Fund uses a systematic valuation model, provided daily by an independent third party to fair value its international equity securities. These valuations are considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

A summary of the valuations as of December 31, 2019, based upon the three levels defined above, is included in the table below while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed in the Schedule of Portfolio Investments (amounts in thousands):

For the year ended December 31, 2019, there were no transfers in or out of the Level 3 fair value hierarchy.

Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"):

The Fund may invest in REITs, which report information on the source of their distributions annually. REITs are pooled investment vehicles that invest primarily in income producing real estate or real estate related loans or interests (such as mortgages). Certain distributions received from REITs during the year are recorded as realized gains or return of capital as estimated by the Fund or when such information becomes known.

Investment Companies:

Exchange-Traded Funds:

The Fund may invest in ETFs. ETFs are a type of index fund, the shares of which are bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and represents a fixed portfolio of securities designed to track the performance and dividend yield of a particular domestic or foreign market index. The Fund may purchase shares of an ETF to temporarily gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market while awaiting purchase of underlying securities. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track, although the lack of liquidity of an ETF could result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.

Open-End Funds:

The Fund may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the board of directors of the underlying funds.

Securities Purchased on a Delayed-Delivery or When-Issued Basis:

The Fund may purchase securities on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis or for delayed draws on loans can take place a month or more after the trade date. At the time the Fund makes the commitment to purchase a security on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis, the Fund records the transaction and reflects the value of the security in determining net asset value. No interest accrues to the Fund until the transaction settles and payment takes place. A segregated account is established and the Fund maintains cash and/or marketable securities at least equal in value to commitments for delayed-delivery or when-issued securities. If the Fund owns delayed-delivery or when-issued securities, these values are included in "Payable for investments purchased" on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the segregated assets are identified in the Schedule of Portfolio Investments.

Foreign Exchange Currency Contracts:

The Fund may enter into foreign exchange currency contracts to convert U.S. dollars to and from various foreign currencies. A foreign exchange currency contract is an obligation by the Fund to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date at a price (in U.S. dollars) set at the time of the contract. The Fund does not engage in "cross-currency" foreign exchange contracts (i.e., contracts to purchase or sell one foreign currency in exchange for another foreign currency). The Fund's foreign exchange currency contracts might be considered spot contracts (typically a contract of one week or


28



USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements — continued
December 31, 2019
 

less) or forward contracts (typically a contract term over one week). A spot contract is entered into for purposes of hedging against foreign currency fluctuations relating to a specific portfolio transaction, such as the delay between a security transaction trade date and settlement date. Forward contracts are entered into for purposes of hedging portfolio holdings or concentrations of such holdings. Each foreign exchange currency contract is adjusted daily by the prevailing spot or forward rate of the underlying currency, and any appreciation or depreciation is recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the contract settlement date, at which time the Fund records realized gains or losses equal to the difference between the value of a contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The Fund could be exposed to risk if a counterparty is unable to meet the terms of a foreign exchange currency contract or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. In addition, the use of foreign exchange currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. As of December 31, 2019, the Fund had no open forward foreign exchange currency contracts.

Derivative Instruments:

The Fund may buy, sell, and enter into certain types of derivatives, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, options, and options on futures contracts, under circumstances in which such instruments are expected by the portfolio manager to aid in achieving the Fund's investment objective. The Fund also may use derivatives in circumstances where the portfolio manager believes they offer an economical means of gaining exposure to a particular asset class or securities market or to keep cash on hand to meet shareholder redemptions or other needs while maintaining exposure to the market. With exchange-listed futures contracts and options, counterparty credit risk to the Fund is limited to the exchange's clearinghouse which, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures contracts and options, guarantees the transactions against default from the actual counterparty to the transaction. The Fund's derivative agreements held at December 31, 2019, did not include master netting provisions.

Futures Contracts:

The Fund may enter into contracts for the future delivery of securities or foreign currencies and futures contracts based on a specific security, class of securities, foreign currency or an index, and purchase or sell options on any such futures contracts. A futures contract on a securities index is an agreement obligating either party to pay, and entitling the other party to receive, while the contract is outstanding, cash payments based on the level of a specified securities index. No physical delivery of the underlying asset is made. The Fund may use futures contracts to gain exposure to, or hedge against, changes in the value of equities, interest rates, or foreign currencies. The acquisition of put and call options on futures contracts will give the Fund the right (but not the obligation), for a specified price, to sell or to purchase the underlying futures contract, upon exercise of the option, at any time during the option period. Futures transactions involve brokerage costs and require the Fund to segregate assets to cover contracts that would require it to purchase securities or currencies. A good faith margin deposit, known as initial margin, of cash or government securities with a broker or custodian is required to initiate and maintain open positions in futures contracts. Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund based on the change in the market value of the position and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is closed out, at which time the gain or loss is realized. The Fund may lose the expected benefit of futures transactions if interest rates, exchange rates or securities prices change in an unanticipated manner. Such unanticipated changes may also result in lower overall performance than if the Fund had not entered into any futures transactions. In addition, the value of the Fund's futures positions may not prove to be perfectly or even highly correlated with the value of its portfolio securities or foreign currencies, limiting the Fund's ability to hedge effectively against interest rate, exchange rate and/or market risk and giving rise to additional risks. There is no assurance of liquidity in the secondary market for purposes of closing out futures positions. The Fund invested in futures contracts during the year ended December 31, 2019, but did not hold futures contracts at year end.

Options:

The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may use options on underlying instruments, namely, equity securities, ETFs, and equity indexes,


29



USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements — continued
December 31, 2019
 

to gain exposure to, or hedge against, changes in the value of equity securities, ETFs, or equity indexes. A call option gives the purchaser the right to buy, and the writer the obligation to sell, the underlying instrument at a specified price during a specified period. Conversely, a put option gives the purchaser the right to sell, and the writer the obligation to buy, the underlying instrument at a specified price during a specified period. The purchaser of the option pays a premium to the writer of the option.

Premiums paid for purchased options are included in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment. If a purchased option expires unexercised, the premium paid is recognized as a realized loss. If a purchased call option on a security is exercised, the cost of the security acquired includes the exercise price and the premium paid. If a purchased put option on a security is exercised, the realized gain or loss on the security sold is determined from the exercise price, the original cost of the security, and the premium paid. The risk associated with purchasing a call or put option is limited to the premium paid.

Premiums received from writing options are included in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. If a written option expires unexercised, the premium received is recognized as a realized gain. If a written call option on a security is exercised, the realized gain or loss on the security sold is determined from the exercise price, the original cost of the security, and the premium received. If a written put option on a security is exercised, the cost of the security acquired is the exercise price paid less the premium received. The Fund, as a writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.

In an attempt to reduce the Fund's volatility over time, the Fund may implement a strategy that involves purchasing and selling options on indexes or ETFs that represent the Fund's exposure against a highly correlated stock portfolio. The combination of the diversified stock portfolio with index or ETF options is designed to provide the Fund with consistent returns over a wide range of equity market environments. This strategy may not fully protect the Fund against declines in the portfolio's value, and the Fund could experience a loss. Options on ETFs are similar to options on individual securities in that the holder of the ETF call (or put) has the right to receive (or sell) shares of the underlying ETF at the strike price on or before exercise date. Options on securities indexes are different from options on individual securities in that the holder of the index option has the right to receive an amount of cash equal to the difference between the exercise price and the settlement value of the underlying index as defined by the exchange. If an index option is exercised, the realized gain or loss is determined by the exercise price, the settlement value, and the premium amount paid or received.

All open derivative positions at year end are reflected in the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The underlying face value of open derivative positions relative to the Fund's net assets at year end is generally representative of the notional amount of open positions to net assets throughout the year.

Investment Transactions and Related Income:

Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is determined on the basis


30



USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements — continued

of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discount. 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.

Securities Lending:

The Fund, through a securities lending agreement with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), may lend its securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. Borrowers are required to secure their loans for collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non-U.S. securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls associated with increases in the valuation of the securities loaned are cured the next business day once the shortfall exceeds $100 thousand. Collateral may be cash, U.S. government securities, or other securities as permitted by SEC guidelines. Cash collateral may be invested in high-quality short-term investments, primarily open-end investment companies. Collateral requirements are determined daily based on the value of the Fund's securities on loan as of the end of the prior business day. During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the Fund any dividends or interest paid on such securities plus any fee negotiated between the parties to the lending agreement. The Fund also earns a return from the collateral. The Fund pays Citibank various fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral and fees based on the investment income received from securities lending activities. Securities lending income (net of these fees) is disclosed on the Statement of Operations. Loans are terminable upon demand and the borrower must return the loaned securities within the lesser of one standard settlement period or five business days. Risks relating to securities-lending transactions include that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or return the securities when due, and that the value of the short-term investments will be less than the amount of cash collateral required to be returned to the borrower. The Fund's agreement with Citibank does not include master netting provisions. Non-cash collateral received by the Fund may not be sold or re-pledged except to satisfy borrower default. Cash collateral is listed in the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments and Financial Statements while non-cash collateral is not included. The following table (amounts in thousands) is a summary of the Fund's securities lending transactions as of December 31, 2019:

Foreign Currency Translations:

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities of the Fund denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts, and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the date of the transactions. The Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are disclosed as net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments and foreign currency translations on the Statement of Operations. Any realized gains or losses from these fluctuations, including foreign currency arising from in-kind redemptions, are disclosed as net realized gains or losses from investment transactions and foreign currency translations on the Statement of Operations.

Foreign Taxes:

The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes related to foreign income received (a portion of which may be reclaimable), capital gains on the sale of securities, and certain foreign currency transactions. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Fund invests.

Federal Income Taxes:

It is the Fund's policy 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 gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Fund has a tax year end of December 31.

Management of the Fund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.

Allocations:

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund, while expenses that are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust, or jointly with an affiliated trust, are allocated among the respective funds in the Trust and/or affiliated trust based upon net assets or another appropriate basis.

Income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses such as transfer agent fees, state registration fees, and printing fees), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets on the date income is earned or expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of the Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. Interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures, which are capitalized in accordance with GAAP, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund's business are excluded from the expense limits.

to the Adviser (amounts in thousands). Amounts repaid to the Adviser during the year ended December 31, 2019, if any, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as "Expenses waived/reimbursed by Adviser."

The Adviser, may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Fund in maintaining competitive expense ratios.

Certain officers and/or interested trustees of the Fund are also officers and/or employees of the Adviser, Administrator, Sub-Administrator, Sub-Fund Accountant, and Legal.

6. Risks:

The Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.

The Fund focuses on stocks and ETFs that emphasize certain investment factors such as momentum, value, and quality, or that could lower volatility in the Fund's returns. The Fund uses quantitative analysis to allocate exposure to individual factors in an attempt to limit the amount of risk any individual factor contributes to the Fund and to reduce the Fund's volatility. The Fund will adjust its investments among asset classes and factor exposures to take advantage of opportunities and to manage risk. The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio holdings.

In an attempt to reduce the Fund's volatility over time, the Fund may implement an option-based risk-management strategy. This strategy involves purchasing and selling options on component indices or corresponding ETFs. This option strategy may not fully protect the Fund against declines in the value of its portfolio, and the Fund could experience a loss. The Fund also invests in other derivatives, including equity futures. Futures typically are used as a liquid and economical means of managing tactical allocations to asset classes or factors.

Diversification in the Fund's portfolio, combined with the use of call and put options, is designed to provide the Fund with fairly consistent returns over a wide range of market environments.

7. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:

Line of Credit:

Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, the Victory Funds Complex participates in a short-term, demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex could borrow up to $600 million, of which $300 million is committed and $300 million is uncommitted. $40 million of the Line of Credit is reserved for use by the Victory Floating Rate Fund, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with that Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the agreement is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. Citibank receives an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $300 million for providing the Line of Credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex pays a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest (one month LIBOR plus one percent) on amounts borrowed. Interest charged to the Fund during the period is presented on the Statement of Operations under line of credit fees.

Prior to the Transaction on July 1, 2019, the line of credit among the Trust, with respect to its funds, and USAA Capital Corporation ("CAPCO") terminated. For the period from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019, the Fund paid CAPCO facility fees of $4 thousand.

The Fund had no borrowings under either agreement with Citibank or CAPCO during the year ended December 31, 2019.

Interfund Lending:

Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, the Trust and Adviser rely on an exemptive order granted by the SEC in March 2017 (the "Order"), permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the "Facility"). The Facility allows the Fund to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other Fund in the Victory Fund Complex relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are allowed for temporary or emergency purposes. The interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. As a Borrower, interest charged to the Fund during the period is presented on the Statement of Operations under Interest expense on Interfund lending. As a Lender, interest earned by the Fund during the period is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Income on Interfund lending.

The average borrowing and lending for the days outstanding and average interest rate for the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2019 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

8. Federal Income Tax Information:

The Fund intends to distribute any net investment income annually. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.

The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

As of December 31, 2019 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, there were no permanent book-to- tax difference reclassification adjustments.

The tax character of distributions paid during the tax years ended, as noted below, were as follows (total distributions paid may differ from the Statement of Changes in Net Assets because, for tax purposes, dividends are recognized when actually paid) (amounts in thousands):

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019.

The Actual Expense figures in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

The Hypothetical Expense figures in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note the expenses shown in the table below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Dear Shareholder,

As we turn the page into a new decade, it's hard not to reflect on the fact that we have been enjoying the longest-ever bull market in U.S. equities. The run has been impressive, and despite periods of tumult and plenty of negative news, the bull market endured throughout 2019.

For the annual reporting period ended December 31, 2019, the S&P 500® Index ("S&P 500") posted impressive gains of almost 29%. This represents the greatest one-year gain since 2013 and also illustrates a swift bounce-back after a precipitous drop late in 2018. The move higher supports the notion that underlying fundamentals of U.S. companies drive performance, rather than the political news and headline fears that often capture the attention of investors.

Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised at the impressive performance of equities. The U.S. economy—the world's largest—remains on solid footing and has been a key driver of both domestic and international stocks. Robust job creation, near-record low unemployment, and steady consumer spending continue and offer reasons for further optimism. Meanwhile, inflation remains muted, and the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") and other major global central banks have taken an accommodative stance. In fact, the Fed has cut interest rates by a total of 0.75% over three meetings last July, September, and October.

The risk-on attitudes of investors, coupled with the accommodative monetary policy, had an expected impact on U.S. Treasury yields. The 10-year Treasury yield declined significantly over the course of 2019, falling from 2.66% to 1.92% at year-end. More interesting, however, was that the yield on 10-year Treasurys fell below shorter-term yields for the first time since before the 2007-2008 Global Financial Crisis. This inverted yield curve spooked investors for a spell, only to revert back to a traditional upward sloping yield curve by the end of 2019.

The robust domestic economy, low interest rates, and ample liquidity from central banks provided a potent tonic for the stock market in 2019. In fact, at year-end 2019, the S&P 500 was approaching its highest valuation level since 1999. This reminds all of us to retain some historical context on the bull market. Many of us remember the Global Financial Crisis and, before that, the collapse of the dot-com bubble. Although those are now but a distant memory (and we are not forecasting such tumult), we should not forget that stocks don't always go up and cycles don't last forever. In other words, valuations still matter.

The key point is not to discount the risks. In addition to lofty valuations, investors need to keep apprised of trade disputes, geopolitical hotspots, a contentious U.S. election, and a host of other potential headwinds. Yet it is these very risks—these cross-currents—that may create pricing dislocations. This is an environment in which we believe our Victory Capital independent investment franchises can thrive.

On the following pages, you will find information relating to your USAA Funds investment. If you have any questions, we encourage you to contact your financial adviser. Or, if you invest with us directly, you may call (800) 235-8396, or visit our website at www.usaa.com.

Manager's Commentary

Victory Solutions
Mannik S. Dhillon, CFA, CAIA
Wasif A. Latif

•  What were the market conditions during the reporting period?

The broad U.S. equity market as measured by the S&P 500® Index registered a very strong return for 2019, outpacing the return of global stocks as measured by the MSCI All-Country World Index. However, it was the information technology heavy Nasdaq Composite Index that had even higher returns for the year.

Despite a few trade war related scares in the middle of the year, the market staged a strong fourth quarter to end the year and continued the longest bull market on record. U.S. equities surged during the year, aided by clear messaging from the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") of a continued accommodative stance along with additional liquidity in the overnight interbank lending market. Indications of continued U.S. economic growth led by the consumer, as well as improvement in economic activity overseas, boosted investor confidence. This confluence of a stable economic environment, an accommodative Fed, and a resolution in sight for the trade war helped push stocks higher throughout the year.

Growth-style investments continued their outperformance of the past few years in 2019 with a strong showing, led by information technology and communication services domestically, while the value-style investments underperformed the market. Regionally, the U.S. market outperformed the non-U.S. markets, aided by the information technology companies that also are globally dominant in their industries.

•  How did the USAA Nasdaq-100 Index Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?

The Fund has two share classes: Funds Shares and R6 Shares. The Fund closely tracked its benchmark, the broad-based Nasdaq-100 Index (the "Index"), during the reporting period ended December 31, 2019. The Fund Shares and R6 Shares had total returns of 38.86% and 38.99%, respectively, while the Index returned an impressive 39.46%. The Index represents 100 of the largest nonfinancial companies listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market® and is not available for direct investment.

•  Please describe sector performance during the reporting period.

U.S. large-cap equities outperformed mid-cap equities, represented by the S&P Midcap 400 Index, which returned 26.20%.

The top performing sectors over this period were information technology and communication services while energy was the weakest performing sector for the year.

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your investment needs.

High double-digit returns are attributable, in part, to unusually favorable market conditions and may not be repeated or consistently achieved in the future.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. To obtain performance information current to the most recent month's end, please visit www.usaa.com.

Total return measures the price change in a share assuming the reinvestment of all net investment income and realized capital gain distributions, if any. The total returns quoted do not reflect adjustments made to the enclosed financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles or the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on net investment income and realized capital gain distributions, including reinvested distributions, or redemptions of shares.

The total return figures set forth above include all waivers of fees for various periods since inception. Without such fee waivers, the total returns would have been lower.

We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

                                   

 

We have served as the auditor of one or more Victory Capital investment companies since 1995.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2019
 

1. Organization:

USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 47 funds and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with no par value.

The accompanying financial statements are those of the USAA Nasdaq-100 Index Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers two classes of shares: Fund Shares and R6 Shares. The Fund is classified as non-diversified under the 1940 Act.

Each class of shares of the Fund has substantially identical rights and privileges except with respect to fees paid under distribution plans, expenses allocable exclusively to each class of shares, voting rights on matters solely affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange privilege of each class of shares.

On November 6, 2018, United Services Automobile Association ("USAA"), the parent company of USAA Asset Management Company ("AMCO"), the investment adviser to the Fund, and USAA Transfer Agency Company, d/b/a USAA Shareholder Account Services ("SAS"), the transfer agent to the Fund, announced that AMCO and SAS would be acquired by Victory Capital Holdings Inc., a global investment management firm headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio (the "Transaction"). The Transaction closed on July 1, 2019. A special shareholder meeting was held on April 18, 2019, at which shareholders of the Fund approved a new investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or "Adviser"). Effective July 1, 2019, VCM replaced AMCO as the investment adviser to the Fund and Victory Capital Transfer Agency Company replaced SAS as the Fund's transfer agent. In addition, effective on that same date, shareholders of the Fund also elected the following two new directors to the Board of the Trust to serve upon the closing of the Transaction: (1) David C. Brown, to serve as an Interested Trustee; and (2) John C. Walters, to serve as an Independent Trustee.

Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent 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. The Fund follows the specialized accounting and reporting requirements under GAAP that are applicable to investment companies under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.

Investment Valuation:

The Fund records investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Fund's investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

• Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities or interest rates applicable to those securities, etc.)


18



USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements — continued
December 31, 2019
 

• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuation techniques are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with entering into those investments.

The Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") has established the Pricing and Liquidity Committee (the "Committee"), and subject to Board oversight, the Committee administers and oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures, which are approved by the Board.

Portfolio securities listed or traded on securities exchanges, including exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") and Rights, are valued at the closing price on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, if available, or the over-the-counter markets, are valued at the last sales price or official closing price. If there have been no sales for that day on the exchange or system, then a security is valued at the last available bid quotation on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded. In each of these situations, valuations typically are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value. These valuations typically are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Futures are valued at the settlement price at the close of market on the principal exchange on which they are traded or, in the absence of any transactions that day, the last sale on the prior trading date. These valuations typically are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Debt securities of United States ("U.S.") issuers, along with corporate and municipal securities, including short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less, may be valued using evaluated bid or the last sales price to price securities by dealers or an independent pricing service approved by the Board. These valuations typically are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Effective July 1, 2019 the valuation methodology applied to certain debt securities changed. Securities that were previously valued at an evaluated mean are now valued at the evaluated bid or the last sales price.

In the event that price quotations or valuations are not readily available, are not reflective of market value, or a significant event has been recognized in relation to a security or class of securities, the securities are valued in good faith by the Committee in accordance with valuation procedures approved by the Board. These valuations typically are categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, based on the observability of inputs used to determine the fair value. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and the actual price realized from the sale of a security may differ materially from the fair value price. Valuing these securities at fair value is intended to cause the Fund's net asset value ("NAV") to be more reliable than it otherwise would be.

A summary of the valuations as of December 31, 2019, based upon the three levels defined above, is included in the table below while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed in the Schedule of Portfolio Investments (amounts in thousands):

For the year ended December 31, 2019, there were no transfers in or out of the Level 3 fair value hierarchy.

Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"):

The Fund may invest in REITs, which report information on the source of their distributions annually. REITs are pooled investment vehicles that invest primarily in income producing real estate or real estate related loans or interests (such as mortgages). Certain distributions received from REITs during the year are recorded as realized gains or return of capital as estimated by the Fund or when such information becomes known.

Investment Companies:

The Fund may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the board of directors of the underlying funds.

Derivative Instruments:

Futures Contracts:

The Fund may enter into contracts for the future delivery of securities or foreign currencies and futures contracts based on a specific security, class of securities, foreign currency or an index, and purchase or sell options on any such futures contracts. A futures contract on a securities index is an agreement obligating either party to pay, and entitling the other party to receive, while the contract is outstanding, cash payments based on the level of a specified securities index. No physical delivery of the underlying asset is made. The Fund may use futures contracts to gain exposure to, or hedge against, changes in the value of equities, interest rates, or foreign currencies. The acquisition of put and call options on futures contracts will give the Fund the right (but not the obligation), for a specified price, to sell or to purchase the underlying futures contract, upon exercise of the option, at any time during the option period. Futures transactions involve brokerage costs and require the Fund to segregate assets to cover contracts that would require it to purchase securities or currencies. A good faith margin deposit, known as initial margin, of cash or government securities with a broker or custodian is required to initiate and maintain open positions in futures contracts. Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund based on the change in the market value of the position and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is closed out, at which time the gain or loss is realized. The Fund may lose the expected benefit of futures transactions if interest rates, exchange rates or securities prices change in an unanticipated manner. Such unanticipated changes may also result in lower overall performance than if the Fund had not entered into any futures transactions. In addition, the value of the Fund's futures positions may not prove to be perfectly or even highly correlated with the value of its portfolio securities or foreign currencies, limiting the Fund's ability to hedge effectively against interest rate, exchange rate and/or market risk and giving rise to additional risks. There is no assurance of liquidity in the secondary market for purposes of closing out futures positions. With exchange-listed futures contracts, counterparty credit risk to the Fund is limited to the exchange's clearinghouse which, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures contracts, guarantees the transactions against default from the actual counterparty to the transaction. The Fund's derivative agreements held at December 31, 2019, did not include master netting provisions.

Summary of Derivative Instruments:

All open derivative positions at year end are reflected in the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The underlying face value of open derivative positions relative to the Fund's net assets at year end is generally representative of the notional amount of open positions to net assets throughout the year.

Investment Transactions and Related Income:

Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discount. 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.

Withholding taxes on interest, dividends and gains as a result of certain investments in ADRs by the Fund have been provided for in accordance with each investment's applicable country's tax rules and rates.

Securities Lending:

The Fund, through a securities lending agreement with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), may lend its securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. Borrowers are required to secure their loans for collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non-U.S. securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls associated with increases in the valuation of the securities loaned are cured the next business day once the shortfall exceeds $100 thousand. Collateral may be cash, U.S. government securities, or other securities as permitted by SEC guidelines. Cash collateral may be invested in high-quality short-term investments, primarily open-end investment companies. Collateral requirements are determined daily based on the value of the Fund's securities on loan as of the end of the prior business day. During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the Fund any dividends or interest paid on such securities plus any fee negotiated between the parties to the lending agreement. The Fund also earns a return from the collateral. The Fund pays Citibank various fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral and fees based on the investment income received from securities lending activities. Securities lending income (net of these fees) is disclosed on the Statement of Operations. Loans are terminable upon demand and the borrower must return the loaned securities within the lesser of one standard settlement period or five business days. Risks relating to securities-lending transactions include that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or return the securities when due, and that the value of the short-term investments will be less than the amount of cash collateral required to be returned to the borrower. The Fund's agreement with Citibank does not include master netting provisions. Non-cash collateral received by the Fund may not be sold or re-pledged except to satisfy borrower default. Cash collateral is listed in the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments and Financial Statements while

Federal Income Taxes:

It is the Fund's policy 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 gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Fund has a tax year end of December 31.

Management of the Fund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.

Allocations:

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund, while expenses that are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust, or jointly with an affiliated trust, are allocated among the respective funds in the Trust and/or affiliated trust based upon net assets or another appropriate basis.

Income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses such as transfer agent fees, state registration fees, and printing fees), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets on the date income is earned or expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred.

3. Purchases and Sales:

Cost of purchases and proceeds from sales/maturities of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) for the year ended December 31, 2019, were as follows for the Fund (amounts in thousands):

4. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties:

Investment Advisory and Management Fees:

Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, investment advisory services are provided to the Fund by the Adviser, a New York corporation registered as an investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Adviser is a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Victory Capital Holdings, Inc., a publicly traded Delaware corporation, and a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Victory Capital Operating, LLC. Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive fees accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The amount incurred and paid to VCM from July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019, was $2,263 thousand and is reflected on the Statement of Operations as Investment Advisory fees.


22



USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements — continued
December 31, 2019
 

Prior to the Transaction on July 1, 2019, AMCO provided investment management services to the Fund pursuant to an Advisory Agreement. Under this agreement, AMCO was responsible for managing the business and affairs of the Fund. The Manager was authorized to select (with approval of the Board and without shareholder approval) one or more subadvisers to manage the day-to-day investment of all or a portion of the Fund's assets. The Manager entered into an Investment Subadvisory Agreement with Northern Trust Investments (NTI), under which NTI directed the investment and reinvestment of the Fund's assets (as allocated from time to time by the Manager). The Fund's investment management fee was accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The amount incurred and paid to AMCO from January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019, was $2,016 thousand and is reflected on the Statement of Operations as Investment Advisory fees.

Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, the Trust relies on an exemptive order granted to VCM and its affiliated funds by the SEC in March 2019 permitting the use of a "manager-of-managers" structure for certain funds. Prior to that date, the Trust relied on a similar exemptive order granted by the SEC to the Trust and its affiliated persons. Under a manager-of-managers structure, the investment adviser may select (with approval of the Board and without shareholder approval) one or more subadvisers to manage the day-to-day investment of a fund's assets.

Effective July 1, 2019, Victory Capital's internal investment team, Victory Solutions, began managing the Fund's assets. NTI no longer serves as a subadviser to the Fund.

Administration and Servicing Fees:

Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, VCM serves as the Fund's administrator and fund accountant. Under the Fund Administration, Servicing and Accounting Agreement, VCM is paid for its services an annual fee at a rate of 0.15% of average daily net assets for the Fund Shares and 0.05% of average daily net assets of the R6 Shares. Amounts incurred from July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019, were $1,684 and $4 thousand for Fund Shares and R6 Shares, respectively. These amounts are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Administration fees.

Prior to the Transaction on July 1, 2019, AMCO provided certain administration and servicing functions for the Fund. For such services, AMCO received a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.15% of average daily net assets for the Fund Shares and 0.05% of average daily net assets of the R6 Shares. Amounts incurred from January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019, were $1,501 and $4 thousand for Fund Shares and R6 Shares, respectively. These amounts are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Administration fees.

Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, the Fund (as part of the Trust) has entered into an agreement to provide compliance services with the Adviser, pursuant to which the Adviser furnishes its compliance personnel, including the services of the Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO"), and other resources reasonably necessary to provide the Trust with compliance oversight services related to the design, administration, and oversight of a compliance program for the Trust in accordance with Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The CCO is an employee of the Adviser, which pays the compensation of the CCO and support staff. Funds in the Trust, Victory Variable Insurance Funds, Victory Portfolios, and Victory Portfolios II (collectively, the "Victory Funds Complex") in the aggregate, compensate the Adviser for these services. The amount incurred during the period from July 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019, is reflected on the Statement of Operations as Compliance fees.

Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. ("Citi"), an affiliate of Citibank, acts as sub-administrator and sub-fund accountant to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Administration and Sub-Fund Accounting Services Agreement between VCM and Citi. VCM pays Citi a fee for providing these services. The Trust reimburses VCM and Citi for all of their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing these services and certain other expenses specifically allocated to the Fund under the Fund Administration, Servicing, and Accounting Agreement.

In addition to the services provided under its Administration and Servicing Agreement with the Fund, AMCO also provided certain compliance and legal services for the benefit of the Fund prior to the Transaction on July 1, 2019. The Board approved the reimbursement of a portion of these expenses incurred by AMCO.

Transfer Agency Fees:

Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, Victory Capital Transfer Agency, Inc. ("VCTA"), (formerly, USAA Shareholder Account Services ("SAS")), provides transfer agency services to the Fund. VCTA, an affiliate of the Adviser, provides transfer agent services to the Fund Shares based on an annual charge of $23 per shareholder account plus out-of-pocket expenses. VCTA pays a portion of these fees to certain intermediaries for the administration and servicing of accounts that are held with such intermediaries. Transfer agent's fees for R6 Shares are paid monthly based on a fee accrued daily at an annualized rate of 0.01% of average daily net assets, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA from July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019, were $1,023 and $1 thousand for Fund Shares and R6 Shares, respectively. Amounts incurred and paid to SAS from January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019, were $893 and $1 thousand for Fund Shares and R6 Shares, respectively. These amounts are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Transfer Agent fees.

Distributor/Underwriting Services:

Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, Victory Capital Advisers, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as distributor for the continuous offering of the shares of the Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement between the Distributor and the Trust.

Prior to the Transaction on July 1, 2019, USAA Investment Management Company provided exclusive underwriting and distribution of the Fund's shares on a continuing best-efforts basis.

Other Fees:

Prior to the Transaction on July 1, 2019, State Street Bank and Trust Company served as the Fund's accounting agent and custodian.

Effective August 5, 2019, Citibank, N.A., serves as the Fund's custodian.

K&L Gates LLP provides legal services to the Trust.

Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, the Adviser has entered into an expense limitation agreement with the Fund until at least June 30, 2021. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of the Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. Interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures, which are capitalized in accordance with GAAP, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund's business are excluded from the expense limits. Effective July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 0.48% and 0.40% for Fund Shares and R6 Shares, respectively.

Under this expense limitation agreement, the Fund has agreed to repay fees and expenses that were waived or reimbursed by the Adviser for a period up to three years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement took place, subject to the lesser of any operating expense limits in effect at the time of: (a) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (b) the recoupment, after giving effect to the recoupment amount. As of December 31, 2019, there are no amounts available to be repaid to the Adviser.

The Adviser, may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Fund in maintaining competitive expense ratios. Voluntary waivers and reimbursements applicable to the Fund are not available to be recouped at a future time. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Prior to the Transaction on July 1, 2019, AMCO agreed, through April 30, 2020, to limit the total annual operating expenses of the R6 Shares to 0.40% of average daily net assets, excluding extraordinary expenses and before reductions of any expenses paid indirectly, and to reimburse the R6 Share for all expenses in excess of those amounts. Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, this expense limit is no longer in effect. For the period from January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019, the Fund incurred reimbursements of $4 thousand. This amount is reflected on the Statement of Operations as "Expenses waived/reimbursed by AMCO."

5. Risks:

The Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.

The equity securities in the Fund's portfolio are subject to stock market risk. A company's stock price in general may decline over short or even extended periods, regardless of the success or failure of the company's operations. Stock markets tend to run in cycles, with periods when stock prices generally go up and periods when stock prices generally go down. Equity securities tend to be more volatile than debt securities. In addition, to the degree the Fund invests in foreign securities, there is a possibility that the value of the Fund's investments in foreign securities will decrease because of unique risks, such as currency exchange-rate fluctuations; foreign market illiquidity; emerging-market risk; increased price volatility; uncertain political conditions; exchange-control regulations; foreign ownership limits; different accounting, reporting, and disclosure requirements; difficulties in obtaining legal judgments; and foreign withholding taxes.

The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a single issuer, such as a single stock or bond. Because a relatively high percentage of the Fund's total assets may be invested in the securities of a single issuer or a limited number of issuers, the securities of the Fund may be more sensitive to changes in the market value of a single issuer, a limited number of issuers, or large companies generally. Such a focused investment strategy may increase the volatility of the Fund's investment results because this Fund may be more susceptible to risks associated with a single issuer or economic, political, or regulatory event compared to those of a diversified fund.

The returns from a specific type of security or sector may trail returns from other asset classes, sectors, or the overall market. For example, the stocks that make up the Nasdaq-100 Index currently are heavily weighted in the technology sectors. High volatility or poor performance of the sectors will directly affect the Fund's performance. Sectors will go through cycles of doing better or worse than stocks or bonds in general. These periods may last for several years.

While the Fund attempts to match the Nasdaq-100 Index as closely as possible, the ability of the Fund to meet its investment objective depends to some extent on the cash flow in and out of the Fund. The Fund's performance may be affected by factors such as the size of the Fund's portfolio, transaction costs, management fees and expenses, and brokerage commissions and fees. Changes in the Fund's cash flow may affect how closely the Fund will track the Nasdaq-100 Index.

6. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:

Line of Credit:

Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, the Victory Funds Complex participates in a short-term, demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex could borrow up to $600 million, of which $300 million is committed and $300 million is uncommitted. $40 million of the Line of Credit is reserved for use by the Victory Floating Rate Fund, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with that Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the agreement is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. Citibank receives an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $300 million for providing the Line of Credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex pays a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest (one month LIBOR plus one percent) on amounts borrowed. Interest charged to the Fund during the period is presented on the Statement of Operations under line of credit fees.

Prior to the Transaction on July 1, 2019, the line of credit among the Trust, with respect to its funds, and USAA Capital Corporation ("CAPCO") terminated. For the period from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019, the Fund paid CAPCO facility fees of $8 thousand.

The Fund had no borrowings under either agreement with Citibank or CAPCO during the year ended December 31, 2019.

Interfund Lending:

Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, the Trust and Adviser rely on an exemptive order granted by the SEC in March 2017 (the "Order"), permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the "Facility"). The Facility allows the Fund to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other Fund in the Victory Fund Complex relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are allowed for temporary or emergency purposes. The interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. As a Borrower, interest charged to the Fund during the period is presented on the Statement of Operations under Interest expense on Interfund lending. As a Lender, interest earned by the Fund during the period is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Income on Interfund lending.

The average borrowing and lending for the days outstanding and average interest rate for the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2019 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

7. Federal Income Tax Information:

The Fund intends to distribute any net investment income annually. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.

The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

As of December 31, 2019 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, there were no permanent book-to-tax difference reclassification adjustments.

The tax character of distributions paid during the tax years ended, as noted below, were as follows (total distributions paid may differ from the Statement of Changes in Net Assets because, for tax purposes, dividends are recognized when actually paid) (amounts in thousands):

*  Qualified late-year losses are comprised of post-October capital losses incurred after October 31 and certain late-year ordinary losses. Late-year ordinary losses represent ordinary losses incurred after December 31 and specified losses incurred after October 31. These losses are deemed to arise on the first day of the Fund's next taxable year.

**  The difference between the book-basis and tax-basis of unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and non-REIT return of capital dividend adjustments.

During the tax year ended December 31, 2019, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards, for federal income tax purposes.

As of December 31, 2019, the cost basis for federal income tax purposes, gross unrealized appreciation, gross unrealized depreciation, and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for investments were as follows (amounts in thousands):

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019.

The Actual Expense figures in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

The Hypothetical Expense figures in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note the expenses shown in the table below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Dear Shareholder,

As we turn the page into a new decade, it's hard not to reflect on the fact that we have been enjoying the longest-ever bull market in U.S. equities. The run has been impressive, and despite periods of tumult and plenty of negative news, the bull market endured throughout 2019.

For the annual reporting period ended December 31, 2019, the S&P 500® Index ("S&P 500") posted impressive gains of almost 29%. This represents the greatest one-year gain since 2013 and also illustrates a swift bounce-back after a precipitous drop late in 2018. The move higher supports the notion that underlying fundamentals of U.S. companies drive performance, rather than the political news and headline fears that often capture the attention of investors.

Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised at the impressive performance of equities. The U.S. economy—the world's largest—remains on solid footing and has been a key driver of both domestic and international stocks. Robust job creation, near-record low unemployment, and steady consumer spending continue and offer reasons for further optimism. Meanwhile, inflation remains muted, and the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") and other major global central banks have taken an accommodative stance. In fact, the Fed has cut interest rates by a total of 0.75% over three meetings last July, September, and October.

The risk-on attitudes of investors, coupled with the accommodative monetary policy, had an expected impact on U.S. Treasury yields. The 10-year Treasury yield declined significantly over the course of 2019, falling from 2.66% to 1.92% at year-end. More interesting, however, was that the yield on 10-year Treasurys fell below shorter-term yields for the first time since before the 2007-2008 Global Financial Crisis. This inverted yield curve spooked investors for a spell, only to revert back to a traditional upward sloping yield curve by the end of 2019.

The robust domestic economy, low interest rates, and ample liquidity from central banks provided a potent tonic for the stock market in 2019. In fact, at year-end 2019, the S&P 500 was approaching its highest valuation level since 1999. This reminds all of us to retain some historical context on the bull market. Many of us remember the Global Financial Crisis and, before that, the collapse of the dot-com bubble. Although those are now but a distant memory (and we are not forecasting such tumult), we should not forget that stocks don't always go up and cycles don't last forever. In other words, valuations still matter.

The key point is not to discount the risks. In addition to lofty valuations, investors need to keep apprised of trade disputes, geopolitical hotspots, a contentious U.S. election, and a host of other potential headwinds. Yet it is these very risks—these cross-currents—that may create pricing dislocations. This is an environment in which we believe our Victory Capital independent investment franchises can thrive.

On the following pages, you will find information relating to your USAA Funds investment. If you have any questions, we encourage you to contact your financial adviser. Or, if you invest with us directly, you may call (800) 235-8396, or visit our website at www.usaa.com.

USAA 500 Index Fund

Manager's Commentary

Victory Solutions
Mannik S. Dhillon, CFA, CAIA
Wasif A. Latif

•  What were the market conditions during the reporting period?

The year 2019 was very good for stocks, especially in the United States. The broad U.S. equity market as measured by the S&P 500® Index registered a very strong return for 2019, outpacing the return of global stocks as measured by the MSCI All-Country World Index. However, it was the information technology heavy Nasdaq Composite Index that had even higher returns for the year. On the flip side, international and emerging market equity securities lagged the global market even though they were both up double digits in absolute terms.

Despite a few trade war related scares in the middle of the year, the market staged a strong fourth quarter to end the year and continued the longest bull market on record. U.S. equities surged during the year, aided by clear messaging from the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") of a continued accommodative stance along with additional liquidity in the overnight interbank lending market. Indications of continued U.S. economic growth led by the consumer, as well as improvement in economic activity overseas, boosted investor confidence. This confluence of a stable economic environment, an accommodative Fed, and a resolution in sight for the trade war helped push stocks higher throughout the year.

Growth-style investments continued their outperformance of the past few years in 2019 with a strong showing, led by information technology and communication services domestically, while the value-style investments underperformed the market. Regionally, the U.S. market outperformed the non-U.S. markets, aided by the information technology companies that also are globally dominant in their industries.

•  How did the USAA 500 Index Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?

The Fund has two share classes: Member Shares and Reward Shares. For the reporting period ended December 31, 2019, the Fund closely tracked its benchmark, the broad-based Victory US Large Cap 500 Index (the "Index") with the Member Shares and Reward Shares returning 31.19% and 31.29%, respectively, versus the Index, which returned 31.88%. The Index emphasizes large U.S. company stocks and is not available for direct investment.

•  Please describe sector performance during the reporting period.

Large-cap U.S. equity securities outperformed developed equity securities outside of the United States, as represented by the MSCI All-Country World ex U.S. Index, which returned 21.51%.

Information technology stocks were the highlight performers, while communications services and consumer discretionary also were strong contributors. Energy stocks trailed the rest of the market during the reporting period.

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your investment needs.

High double-digit returns are attributable, in part, to unusually favorable market conditions and may not be repeated or consistently achieved in the future.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. To obtain performance information current to the most recent month's end, please visit www.usaa.com.

Total return measures the price change in a share assuming the reinvestment of all net investment income and realized capital gain distributions, if any. The total returns quoted do not reflect adjustments made to the enclosed financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles or the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on net investment income and realized capital gain distributions, including reinvested distributions, or redemptions of shares.

The total return figures set forth above include all waivers of fees for various periods since inception. Without such fee waivers, the total returns would have been lower.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA 500 Index Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA 500 Index Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting the USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of December 31, 2019, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund at December 31, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

                                   

 

We have served as the auditor of one or more Victory Capital investment companies since 1995.

*  Assumes reinvestment of all net investment income and realized capital gain distributions, if any, during the period; does not reflect $10 annual account maintenance fee. Includes adjustments in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and could differ from the Lipper reported return.

^  The net expense ratio may not correlate to the applicable expense limits in place during the period since the current contractual expense limitation is applied for a two-year period beginning July 1, 2019, and in effect through June 30, 2021, instead of coinciding with the Fund's fiscal year end. Details of the current contractual expense limitation in effect can be found in Note 5 of the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

(a)  Portfolio turnover is calculated on the basis of the Fund as a whole without distinguishing between the classes of shares issued.

(b)  Per share net investment income (loss) has been calculated using the average daily shares method.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2019
 

1. Organization:

USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 47 funds and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with no par value.

The accompanying financial statements are those of the USAA 500 Index Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers two classes of shares: Member Shares and Reward Shares. The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.

Each class of shares of the Fund has substantially identical rights and privileges except with respect to fees paid under distribution plans, expenses allocable exclusively to each class of shares, voting rights on matters solely affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange privilege of each class of shares.

On November 6, 2018, United Services Automobile Association ("USAA"), the parent company of USAA Asset Management Company ("AMCO"), the investment adviser to the Fund, and USAA Transfer Agency Company, d/b/a USAA Shareholder Account Services ("SAS"), the transfer agent to the Fund, announced that AMCO and SAS would be acquired by Victory Capital Holdings Inc., a global investment management firm headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio (the "Transaction"). The Transaction closed on July 1, 2019. A special shareholder meeting was held on April 18, 2019, at which shareholders of the Fund approved a new investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or "Adviser"). Effective July 1, 2019, VCM replaced AMCO as the investment adviser to the Fund and Victory Capital Transfer Agency Company replaced SAS as the Fund's transfer agent. In addition, effective on that same date, shareholders of the Fund also elected the following two new directors to the Board of the Trust to serve upon the closing of the Transaction: (1) David C. Brown, to serve as an Interested Trustee; and (2) John C. Walters, to serve as an Independent Trustee.

Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent 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. The Fund follows the specialized accounting and reporting requirements under GAAP that are applicable to investment companies under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.

Investment Valuation:

The Fund records investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Fund's investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

• Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities or interest rates applicable to those securities, etc.)


26



USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements — continued
December 31, 2019
 

• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuation techniques are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with entering into those investments.

The Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") has established the Pricing and Liquidity Committee (the "Committee") subject to Board oversight, the Committee administers and oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures, which are approved by the Board.

Portfolio securities listed or traded on securities exchanges, including exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") and Rights, are valued at the closing price on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, if available, or the over-the-counter markets, are valued at the last sales price or official closing price. If there have been no sales for that day on the exchange or system, then a security is valued at the last available bid quotation on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded. In each of these situations, valuations typically are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value. These valuations typically are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Futures are valued at the settlement price at the close of market on the principal exchange on which they are traded or, in the absence of any transactions that day, the last sale on the prior trading date. These valuations typically are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

In the event that price quotations or valuations are not readily available, are not reflective of market value, or a significant event has been recognized in relation to a security or class of securities, the securities are valued in good faith by the Committee in accordance with valuation procedures approved by the Board. These valuations typically are categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, based on the observability of inputs used to determine the fair value. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and the actual price realized from the sale of a security may differ materially from the fair value price. Valuing these securities at fair value is intended to cause the Fund's net asset value ("NAV") to be more reliable than it otherwise would be.

A summary of the valuations as of December 31, 2019, based upon the three levels defined above, is included in the table below while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed in the Schedule of Portfolio Investments (amounts in thousands):

^  Futures Contracts are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the investment.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, there were no transfers in or out of the Level 3 fair value hierarchy.

Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"):

The Fund may invest in REITs, which report information on the source of their distributions annually. REITs are pooled investment vehicles that invest primarily in income producing real estate or real estate related loans or interests (such as mortgages). Certain distributions received from REITs during the year are recorded as realized gains or return of capital as estimated by the Fund or when such information becomes known.

Investment Companies:

The Fund may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the board of directors of the underlying funds.

Derivative Instruments:

Futures Contracts:

The Fund may enter into contracts for the future delivery of securities or foreign currencies and futures contracts based on a specific security, class of securities, foreign currency or an index, and purchase or sell options on any such futures contracts. A futures contract on a securities index is an agreement obligating either party to pay, and entitling the other party to receive, while the contract is outstanding, cash payments based on the level of a specified securities index. No physical delivery of the underlying asset is made. The Fund may use futures contracts to gain exposure to, or hedge against, changes in the value of equities, interest rates, or foreign currencies. The acquisition of put and call options on futures contracts will give the Fund the right (but not the obligation), for a specified price, to sell or to purchase the underlying futures contract, upon exercise of the option, at any time during the option period. Futures transactions involve brokerage costs and require the Fund to segregate assets to cover contracts that would require it to purchase securities or currencies. A good faith margin deposit, known as initial margin, of cash or government securities with a broker or custodian is required to initiate and maintain open positions in futures contracts. Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund based on the change in the market value of the position and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is closed out, at which time the gain or loss is realized. The Fund may lose the expected benefit of futures transactions if interest rates, exchange rates or securities prices change in an unanticipated manner. Such unanticipated changes may also result in lower overall performance than if the Fund had not entered into any futures transactions. In addition, the value of the Fund's futures positions may not prove to be perfectly or even highly correlated with the value of its portfolio securities or foreign currencies, limiting the Fund's ability to hedge effectively against interest rate, exchange rate and/or market risk and giving rise to additional risks. There is no assurance of liquidity in the secondary market for purposes of closing out futures positions. With exchange-listed futures contracts, counterparty credit risk to the Fund is limited to the exchange's clearinghouse which, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures contracts, guarantees the transactions against default from the actual counterparty to the transaction. The Fund's derivative agreements held at December 31, 2019, did not include master netting provisions.

All open derivative positions at year end are reflected in the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The underlying face value of open derivative positions relative to the Fund's net assets at year end is generally representative of the notional amount of open positions to net assets throughout the year.

Investment Transactions and Related Income:

Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discount. 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.

Securities Lending:

The Fund, through a securities lending agreement with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), may lend its securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. Borrowers are required to secure their loans for collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non-U.S. securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls associated with increases in the valuation of the securities loaned are cured the next business day once the shortfall exceeds $100 thousand. Collateral may be cash, U.S. government securities, or other securities as permitted by SEC guidelines. Cash collateral may be invested in high-quality short-term investments, primarily open-end investment companies. Collateral requirements are determined daily based on the value of the Fund's securities on loan as of the end of the prior business day. During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the Fund any dividends or interest paid on such securities plus any fee negotiated between the parties to the lending agreement. The Fund also earns a return from the collateral. The Fund pays Citibank various fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral and fees based on the investment income received from securities lending activities. Securities lending income (net of these fees) is disclosed on the Statement of Operations. Loans are terminable upon demand and the borrower must return the loaned securities within the lesser of one standard settlement period or five business days. Risks relating to securities-lending transactions include that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or return the securities when due, and that the value of the short-term investments will be less than the amount of cash collateral required to be returned to the borrower. The Fund's agreement with Citibank does not include master netting provisions. Non-cash collateral received by the Fund may not be sold or re-pledged except to satisfy borrower default. Cash collateral is listed in the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments and Financial Statements while non-cash collateral is not included. The following table (amounts in thousands) is a summary of the Fund's securities lending transactions as of December 31, 2019.

Federal Income Taxes:

It is the Fund's policy 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 gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Fund has a tax year end of December 31.

Management of the Fund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.

Allocations:

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund, while expenses that are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust, or jointly with an affiliated trust, are allocated among the respective funds in the Trust and/or affiliated trust based upon net assets or another appropriate basis.

Income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses such as transfer agent fees, state registration fees, and printing fees), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets on the date income is earned or expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred.

3. Purchases and Sales:

Cost of purchases and proceeds from sales/maturities of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) for the year ended December 31, 2019 were as follows for the Fund (amounts in thousands):

net assets. The amount incurred and paid to VCM from July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019, was $3,902 thousand and is reflected on the Statement of Operations as Investment Advisory fees.

Prior to the Transaction on July 1, 2019, AMCO provided investment management services to the Fund pursuant to an Advisory Agreement. Under this agreement, AMCO was responsible for managing the business and affairs of the Fund. The Manager was authorized to select (with approval of the Board and without shareholder approval) one or more subadvisers to manage the day-to-day investment of all or a portion of the Fund's assets. The Manager entered into an Investment Subadvisory Agreement with Northern Trust Investments (NTI), under which NTI directed the investment and reinvestment of the Fund's assets (as allocated from time to time by the Manager). The Fund's investment management fee was accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.10% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The amount incurred and paid to AMCO from January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019 was $3,637 thousand and reflected on the Statement of Operations as Investment Advisory fees.

Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, the Trust relies on an exemptive order granted to VCM and its affiliated funds by the SEC in March 2019 permitting the use of a "manager-of-managers" structure for certain funds. Prior to that date, the Trust relied on a similar exemptive order granted by the SEC to the Trust and its affiliated persons. Under a manager-of-managers structure, the investment adviser may select (with approval of the Board and without shareholder approval) one or more subadvisers to manage the day-to-day investment of a fund's assets.

Effective July 1, 2019, Victory Capital's internal investment team, Victory Solutions, began managing the Fund's assets. NTI no longer serves as a subadviser to the Fund.

Administration and Servicing Fees:

Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, VCM serves as the Fund's administrator and fund accountant. Under the Fund Administration, Servicing and Accounting Agreement, VCM is paid for its services an annual fee at a rate of 0.06% of average daily net assets of the Fund. Amounts incurred from July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019, were $1,049 and $1,292 thousand for Member Shares and Reward Shares, respectively. These amounts are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Administration fees.

Prior to the Transaction on July 1, 2019, AMCO provided certain administration and servicing functions for the Fund. For such services, AMCO received a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.06% of average daily net assets of the Fund.

These amounts are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Administration fees.

Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, the Fund (as part of the Trust) has entered into an agreement to provide compliance services with the Adviser, pursuant to which the Adviser furnishes its compliance personnel, including the services of the Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO"), and other resources reasonably necessary to provide the Trust with compliance oversight services related to the design, administration and oversight of a compliance program for the Trust in accordance with Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The CCO is an employee of the Adviser, which pays the compensation of the CCO and support staff. Funds in the Trust, Victory Variable Insurance Funds, Victory Portfolios, and Victory Portfolios II (collectively, the "Victory Funds Complex") in the aggregate, compensate the Adviser for these services. The amount incurred during the period from July 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019, is reflected on the Statement of Operations as Compliance fees.

Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. ("Citi"), an affiliate of Citibank, acts as sub-administrator and sub-fund accountant to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Administration and Sub-Fund Accounting Services Agreement between VCM and Citi. VCM pays Citi a fee for providing these services. The Trust reimburses VCM and Citi for all of their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing these services and certain other expenses specifically allocated to the Funds, under the Fund Administration, Servicing, and Accounting Agreement.

In addition to the services provided under its Administration and Servicing Agreement with the Fund, AMCO also provided certain compliance and legal services for the benefit of the Fund prior to the Transaction on July 1, 2019.

Transfer Agency Fees:

Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, Victory Capital Transfer Agency, Inc. ("VCTA"), (formerly, USAA Shareholder Account Services ("SAS")), provides transfer agency services to the Fund. VCTA, an affiliate of the Adviser, provides transfer agent services based on an annual charge of $20 per shareholder account plus out-of-pocket expenses. VCTA pays a portion of these fees to certain intermediaries for the administration and servicing of accounts that are held with such intermediaries. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA from July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019, were $1,454 and $191 thousand for Member Shares and Reward Shares, respectively. Amounts incurred and paid to SAS from January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019, were $1,395 and $168 thousand for Member Shares and Reward Shares, respectively. These amounts are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Transfer Agent fees.

VCTA (formerly SAS) assesses a $10 annual account maintenance fee to the Member Shares to allocate part of the fixed cost of maintaining shareholder accounts. This fee is charged directly to the shareholders' accounts and does not impact the Fund. The fee is waived on accounts with balances of $10 thousand or more.

Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, FIS Investor Services LLC serves as sub-transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agent Agreement between VCTA and FIS Investor Services LLC.

Prior to the Transaction on July 1, 2019, USAA Investment Management Company provided exclusive underwriting and distribution of the Fund's shares on a continuing, best-efforts basis.

K&L Gates LLP provides legal services to the Trust.

Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, the Adviser has entered into an expense limitation agreement with the Fund until at least June 30, 2021. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of the Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. Interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures, which are capitalized in accordance with GAAP, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund's business are excluded from the expense limits. Effective July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 0.25% and 0.15% for Member Shares and Reward Shares, respectively.

Under this expense limitation agreement, the Fund has agreed to repay fees and expenses that were waived or reimbursed by the Adviser for a period up to three years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement took place, subject to the lesser of any operating expense limits in effect at the time of: (a) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (b) the recoupment, after giving effect to the recoupment amount.

The Adviser, may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Fund in maintaining competitive expense ratios.

Prior to the Transaction on July 1, 2019, AMCO agreed, through April 30, 2020, to limit the total annual operating expenses of the Member Shares and Reward Shares to 0.25% and 0.15%, respectively, of average daily net assets, excluding extraordinary expenses and before reductions of any expenses paid indirectly, and to reimburse the Fund Shares and Institutional Share for all expenses in excess of those amounts. Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, this expense limit is no longer in effect. For the period from January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019, the Fund incurred reimbursements of $785 thousand. This amount is reflected on the Statement of Operations as "Expenses waived/reimbursed by AMCO."

Certain officers and/or interested trustees of the Fund are also officers and/or employees of the Adviser, Administrator, Sub-Administrator, Sub-Fund Accountant, and Legal.

6. Risks:

The Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.

The equity securities in the Fund's portfolio are subject to stock market risk. A company's stock price in general may decline over short or even extended periods, regardless of the success or failure of the company's operations. Stock markets tend to run in cycles, with periods when stock prices generally go up and periods when stock prices generally go down. Equity securities tend to be more volatile than debt securities.

While the Fund attempts to match the Victory US Large Cap 500 Index as closely as possible, the ability of the Fund to meet its investment objective depends to some extent on the cash flow in and out of the Fund. The Fund's performance may be affected by factors such as the size of the Fund's portfolio, transaction costs, management fees and expenses, and brokerage commissions and fees. Changes in the Fund's cash flow may affect how closely the Fund will track the Victory US Large Cap 500 Index.

A Fund may invest in futures, options, and other types of derivatives. Risks associated with derivatives include the risk that the derivative is not well-correlated with the security, index, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), or currency to which it relates; the risk that the use of derivatives may not have the intended effects and may result in losses, underperformance, or missed opportunities; the risk that a Fund will be unable to sell the derivative because of an illiquid secondary market; the risk that a counterparty is unwilling or unable to meet its obligation; the risk of interest rate movements; and the risk that the derivatives transaction could expose a Fund to the effects of leverage, which could increase a Fund's market exposure, magnify investment risks and losses, and cause losses to be realized more quickly. There is no guarantee that derivative techniques will be employed or that they will work as intended, and their use could lower returns or even result in losses to a Fund.

7. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:

Line of Credit:

Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, the Victory Funds Complex participates in a short-term, demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex could borrow up to $600 million, of which $300 million is committed and $300 million is uncommitted. $40 million of the Line of Credit is reserved for use by the Victory Floating Rate Fund, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with that Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the agreement is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. Citibank receives an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $300 million for providing the Line of Credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex pays a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest (one month LIBOR plus one percent) on amounts borrowed. Interest charged to the Fund during the period is presented on the Statement of Operations under line of credit fees.

Prior to the Transaction on July 1, 2019, the line of credit among the Trust, with respect to its funds, and USAA Capital Corporation ("CAPCO") terminated. For the period from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019, the Fund paid CAPCO facility fees of $31 thousand.

The Fund had no borrowings under either agreement with Citibank or CAPCO during the year ended December 31, 2019.

Interfund Lending:

Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, the Trust and Adviser rely on an exemptive order granted by the SEC in March 2017 (the "Order"), permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the "Facility"). The Facility allows the Fund to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other Fund in the Victory Fund Complex relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are allowed for temporary or emergency purposes. The interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. As a Borrower, interest charged to the Fund during the period is presented on the Statement of Operations under Interest expense on Interfund lending. As a Lender, interest earned by the Fund during the period is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Income on Interfund lending.

The Fund did not utilize or participate in the Facility during the period from July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019.

8. Federal Income Tax Information:

The Fund intends to distribute any net investment income quarterly. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.

The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The following permanent reclassifications were made between capital accounts to reflect the portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders that was claimed as a distribution for income tax purposes during the year ended December 31, 2019 (amounts in thousands):

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including account maintenance fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019.

The Actual Expense figures in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period

The Hypothetical Expense figures in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note the expenses shown in the table below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Dear Shareholder,

As we turn the page into a new decade, it's hard not to reflect on the fact that we have been enjoying the longest-ever bull market in U.S. equities. The run has been impressive, and despite periods of tumult and plenty of negative news, the bull market endured throughout 2019.

For the annual reporting period ended December 31, 2019, the S&P 500® Index ("S&P 500") posted impressive gains of almost 29%. This represents the greatest one-year gain since 2013 and also illustrates a swift bounce-back after a precipitous drop late in 2018. The move higher supports the notion that underlying fundamentals of U.S. companies drive performance, rather than the political news and headline fears that often capture the attention of investors.

Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised at the impressive performance of equities. The U.S. economy—the world's largest—remains on solid footing and has been a key driver of both domestic and international stocks. Robust job creation, near-record low unemployment, and steady consumer spending continue and offer reasons for further optimism. Meanwhile, inflation remains muted, and the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") and other major global central banks have taken an accommodative stance. In fact, the Fed has cut interest rates by a total of 0.75% over three meetings last July, September, and October.

The risk-on attitudes of investors, coupled with the accommodative monetary policy, had an expected impact on U.S. Treasury yields. The 10-year Treasury yield declined significantly over the course of 2019, falling from 2.66% to 1.92% at year-end. More interesting, however, was that the yield on 10-year Treasurys fell below shorter-term yields for the first time since before the 2007-2008 Global Financial Crisis. This inverted yield curve spooked investors for a spell, only to revert back to a traditional upward sloping yield curve by the end of 2019.

The robust domestic economy, low interest rates, and ample liquidity from central banks provided a potent tonic for the stock market in 2019. In fact, at year-end 2019, the S&P 500 was approaching its highest valuation level since 1999. This reminds all of us to retain some historical context on the bull market. Many of us remember the Global Financial Crisis and, before that, the collapse of the dot-com bubble. Although those are now but a distant memory (and we are not forecasting such tumult), we should not forget that stocks don't always go up and cycles don't last forever. In other words, valuations still matter.

The key point is not to discount the risks. In addition to lofty valuations, investors need to keep apprised of trade disputes, geopolitical hotspots, a contentious U.S. election, and a host of other potential headwinds. Yet it is these very risks—these cross-currents—that may create pricing dislocations. This is an environment in which we believe our Victory Capital independent investment franchises can thrive.

On the following pages, you will find information relating to your USAA Funds investment. If you have any questions, we encourage you to contact your financial adviser. Or, if you invest with us directly, you may call (800) 235-8396, or visit our website at www.usaa.com.

Manager's Commentary

Victory Solutions

Wasif A. Latif
Lance Humphrey, CFA

•  How did the global financial markets perform during the reporting period?

The year 2019 was very good for stocks, especially in the United States.

The broad U.S. equity market as measured by the S&P 500® Index registered a very strong return for 2019, outpacing the return of global stocks as measured by the MSCI All-Country World Index. However, it was the information technology heavy Nasdaq Composite Index that had even higher returns for the year. On the flip side, international and emerging market equity securities lagged the global market even though they were both up double digits in absolute terms.

Despite a few trade war related scares in the middle of the year, the market staged a strong fourth quarter to end the year and continued the longest bull market on record. U.S. equities surged during the year, aided by clear messaging from the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") of a continued accommodative stance along with additional liquidity in the overnight interbank lending market. Indications of continued U.S. economic growth led by the consumer, as well as improvement in economic activity overseas, boosted investor confidence. This confluence of a stable economic environment, an accommodative Fed, and a resolution in sight for the trade war helped push stocks higher throughout the year.

Growth style investments continued their outperformance of the past few years in 2019 with a strong showing, led by information technology and communication services domestically while the value investment style underperformed the market. Regionally, the U.S. market outperformed the non-U.S. markets, aided by the information technology companies that also are globally dominant in their industries.

Additionally, bonds were up in 2019. In the fixed-income arena, it was corporate bonds that led the way in 2019, while U.S. Treasurys lagged. High-yield corporate bonds also posted strong double digit returns but lagged behind those of investment-grade credit ratings during 2019.

•  How did the USAA Target Retirement Funds (the "Funds") perform during the reporting period?

Each Fund's investment objective is to provide capital appreciation and current income consistent with its current investment allocation. For the reporting period ended

•  What factors helped and hurt the Funds' performance?

Consistent with a time in which most segments of the financial markets had strong positive returns, all six of the USAA Target Retirement Funds had solid double-digit returns during 2019. The Funds performed as expected, with returns in between those of stocks and bonds. The larger gains for the longer-dated portfolios reflect the progressively higher weighting in equities as the target dates of the six funds increase.

The results of the Funds underlying drivers mirrored the overall investment backdrop. The equity portfolio experienced gains, with larger increases for domestic equities versus the developed international and emerging markets. Holdings in investment-grade, fixed-income securities added value in the aggregate, with positions in short-term debt and government issues posting gains.

We maintained a steady approach in the past year. As always, we sought to provide broad exposure to the global financial markets, but we also overweighted (took larger relative positions) or underweighted (took lower relative positions) in certain asset classes based on valuations and fundamentals. In this vein, we continued to tilt the portfolios toward the international markets—both developed and emerging—versus the United States. We believe this positioning is warranted from a longer-term standpoint due to the more attractive valuations and greater latitude for better-than-expected economic growth outside of the United States.

We continue to hold a cautious view regarding the outlook for the financial markets. We believe the economic expansion may have reached its later stages, which translates to higher risks from uncertainty surrounding trade policy, corporate earnings prospects, and the geopolitical landscape. Amid this uncertain outlook, we remain true to our longstanding strategy of using fundamentals and valuations to construct portfolios designed to deliver favorable results over a full market cycle.

Thank you for allowing us to help you manage your investments.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. To obtain performance information current to the most recent month's end, please visit www.usaa.com.

Total return measures the price change in a share assuming the reinvestment of all net investment income and realized capital gain distributions, if any. The total returns quoted do not reflect adjustments made to the enclosed financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles or the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on net investment income and realized capital gain distributions, including reinvested distributions, or redemptions of shares.

The total return figures set forth above include all waivers of fees for various periods since inception. Without such fee waivers, the total returns would have been lower.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA Target Retirement Income Fund, USAA Target Retirement 2020 Fund, USAA Target Retirement 2030 Fund, USAA Target Retirement 2040 Fund, USAA Target Retirement 2050 Fund, and USAA Target Retirement 2060 Fund:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of USAA Target Retirement Income Fund, USAA Target Retirement 2020 Fund, USAA Target Retirement 2030 Fund, USAA Target Retirement 2040 Fund, USAA Target Retirement 2050 Fund, and USAA Target Retirement 2060 Fund (the "Funds") (six of the funds constituting the USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedules of portfolio investments, as of December 31, 2019, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds at December 31, 2019, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and their financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds' financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

                                   

 

We have served as the auditor of one or more Victory Capital investment companies since 1995.

*  Assumes reinvestment of all net investment income and realized capital gain distributions, if any, during the period. Includes adjustments in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and could differ from the Lipper reported return.

^  The net expense ratio may not correlate to the applicable expense limits in place during the period since the current contractual expense limitation is applied for a two-year period beginning July 1, 2019, and in effect through June 30, 2021, instead of coinciding with the Fund's fiscal year end. Details of the current contractual expense limitation in effect can be found in Note 4 of the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

(a)  The expense ratios exclude the impact of expenses paid to each underlying fund.

(b)  Per share net investment income (loss) has been calculated using the average daily shares method.

(c)  Overall increase in purchases and sales of securities.

  Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2019
 

1. Organization:

USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 47 funds and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with no par value. Each Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.

The accompanying financial statements are those of the following six Funds (collectively, the "Funds" and individually, a "Fund"):

Funds (Legal Name)

 

Funds (Short Name)

 

USAA Target Retirement Income Fund

 

Target Income

 

USAA Target Retirement 2020 Fund

 

Target 2020

 

USAA Target Retirement 2030 Fund

 

Target 2030

 

USAA Target Retirement 2040 Fund

 

Target 2040

 

USAA Target Retirement 2050 Fund

 

Target 2050

 

USAA Target Retirement 2060 Fund

 

Target 2060

 

Each Fund is a "fund of funds" in that it invests in a selection of affiliated mutual funds and exchange-traded funds managed by the Funds' Adviser, Victory Capital Management Inc., an affiliate of the Fund.

Each Fund may rely on certain Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") exemptive orders or rules that permit funds meeting various conditions to invest in an exchange-traded fund (ETF) in amounts exceeding limits set forth in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that would otherwise be applicable.

On November 6, 2018, United Services Automobile Association ("USAA"), the parent company of USAA Asset Management Company ("AMCO"), the investment adviser to the Funds, and USAA Transfer Agency Company, d/b/a USAA Shareholder Account Services ("SAS"), the transfer agent to the Funds, announced that AMCO and SAS would be acquired by Victory Capital Holdings Inc., a global investment management firm headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio (the "Transaction"). The Transaction closed on July 1, 2019. A special shareholder meeting was held on April 18, 2019, at which shareholders of the Funds approved a new investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, and Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or "Adviser"). Effective July 1, 2019, VCM replaced AMCO as the investment adviser to the Funds and Victory Capital Transfer Agency Company replaced SAS as the Funds' transfer agent. In addition, effective on that same date, shareholders of the Funds also elected the following two new directors to the Board of the Trust to serve upon the closing of the Transaction: (1) David C. Brown, to serve as an Interested Trustee; and (2) John C. Walters, to serve as an Independent Trustee.

Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect that risk of loss to be remote.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent 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. The Funds follow the specialized accounting and reporting requirements under GAAP that are applicable to investment companies under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.

Investment Valuation:

The Funds record investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Funds' investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

• Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities or interest rates applicable to those securities, etc.)

• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuation techniques are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with entering into those investments.

The Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") has established the Pricing and Liquidity Committee (the "Committee"), and subject to Board oversight, the Committee administers and oversees the Funds' valuation policies and procedures, which are approved by the Board.

Portfolio securities listed or traded on securities exchanges, including exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") and Rights, are valued at the closing price on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, if available, or the over-the-counter markets, are valued at the last sales price or official closing price. If there have been no sales for that day on the exchange or system, then a security is valued at the last available bid quotation on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded. In each of these situations, valuations typically are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Investments in the underlying affiliated Funds and other open-end investment companies, other than exchange-traded funds (ETFs), are valued at their net asset value ("NAV") at the end of each business day and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The underlying affiliated Funds have specific valuation procedures. In the event that price quotations or valuations are not readily available, are not reflective of market value, or a significant event has been recognized in relation to a security or class of securities, the securities are valued in good faith by the Committee in accordance with valuation procedures approved by the Board. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and the actual price realized from the sale of a security may differ materially from the fair value price. Valuing these securities at fair value is intended to cause the Fund's NAV to be more reliable than it otherwise would be.

A summary of the valuations as of December 31, 2019, based upon the three levels defined above, is included in the table below while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed in the Schedule of Portfolio Investments (amounts in thousands):

For the year ended December 31, 2019, there were no transfers in or out of the Level 3 fair value hierarchy.

Investment Companies:

Exchange-Traded Funds:

The Funds may invest in ETFs. ETFs are a type of index fund, the shares of which are bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and represents a fixed portfolio of securities designed to track the performance and dividend yield of a particular domestic or foreign market index. The Funds may purchase shares of an ETF to temporarily gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market while awaiting purchase of underlying securities. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track, although the lack of liquidity of an ETF could result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.

Open-End Funds:

The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the board of directors of the underlying funds.

Investment Transactions and Related Income:

Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Dividend income and capital gain distributions from the underlying USAA Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discount. 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.

Securities Lending:

The Funds, through a securities lending agreement with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), may lend securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. Borrowers are required to secure their loans for collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non-U.S. securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls associated with increases in the valuation of the securities loaned are cured the next business day once the shortfall exceeds $100 thousand. Collateral may be cash, U.S. government securities, or other securities as permitted by SEC guidelines. Cash collateral may be invested in high-quality short-term investments, primarily open-end investment companies. Collateral requirements are determined daily based on the value of the Fund's securities on loan as of the end of the prior business day. During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the Fund any dividends or interest paid on such securities plus any fee negotiated between the parties to the lending agreement. The Fund also earns a return from the collateral. The Fund pays Citibank various fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral and fees based on the investment income received from securities lending activities. Securities lending income (net of these fees) is disclosed on the Statement of Operations. Loans are terminable upon demand and the borrower must return the loaned securities within the lesser of one standard settlement period or five business days. Risks relating to securities-lending transactions include that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or return the securities when due, and that the value of the short-term investments will be less than the amount of cash collateral required to be returned to the borrower. The Funds' agreement with Citibank does not include master netting provisions. Non-cash collateral received by the Fund may not be sold or re-pledged except to satisfy borrower default. Cash collateral is listed in each Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments and Financial Statements while non-cash collateral is not included. The following table (amounts in thousands) is a summary of the Fund's securities lending transactions as of December 31, 2019:

Federal Income Taxes:

It is each Fund's policy 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 gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Fund has a tax year end of December 31.

Management of the Funds have reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.

Allocations:

Expenses directly attributable to the Funds are charged to the Funds, while expenses that are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust, or jointly with an affiliated trust, are allocated among the respective funds in the Trust and/or affiliated trust based upon net assets or another appropriate basis.

Certain officers and/or interested trustees of the Fund are also officers and/or employees of the Adviser, Administrator, Sub-Administrator, Sub-Fund Accountant, and Legal.

5. Risks:

The Funds may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.

Any investment involves risk, and there is no assurance that the each Fund's objective will be achieved. Each Fund is actively managed and the investment techniques and risk analyses used by each Fund's manager(s) may not produce the desired results. As you consider an investment in the Fund, you also should take into account your tolerance for the daily fluctuations of the financial markets and whether you can afford to leave your money in the Fund for long periods of time to ride out down periods. As with other mutual funds, losing money is a risk of investing in the Fund.

The risks of each Fund directly correspond to the risks of the underlying affiliated funds in which each Fund invests. By investing in the underlying affiliated funds, the Fund has exposure to the risk of many different areas of the market. The degree to which the risks described below apply to the Fund varies according to the Fund's asset allocation. For instance, the more the Fund is allocated to stock funds, the greater the risk associated with equity securities. The Funds are also subject to asset allocation risk (i.e., the risk that allocations will not produce the intended results) and to management risk (i.e., the risk that the selection of underlying affiliated funds will not produce the intended results).

In managing a Fund that invests in underlying affiliated funds, the Adviser may have conflicts of interest in allocating the Fund's assets among the various underlying affiliated funds. This is because the fees payable by some of the underlying affiliated funds to the Adviser and/or its affiliates are higher than the fees payable by other underlying affiliated funds, and because the Adviser also manages and administers the underlying affiliated funds.

6. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:

Line of Credit:

Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, the Victory Funds Complex participates in a short-term, demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex could borrow up to $600 million, of which $300 million is committed and $300 million is uncommitted. $40 million of the Line of Credit is reserved for use by the Victory Floating Rate Fund, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with that Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the agreement is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. Citibank receives an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $300 million for providing the Line of Credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex pays a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest (one month LIBOR plus one percent) on amounts borrowed. Interest charged to the Funds during the period is presented on the Statements of Operations under line of credit fees.

Prior to the Transaction on July 1, 2019, the line of credit among the Trust, with respect to its funds, and USAA Capital Corporation ("CAPCO") terminated. For the period from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019, the Funds paid CAPCO the following facility fees (amounts in thousands):

The Funds had no borrowings under either agreement with Citibank or CAPCO during the year ended December 31, 2019.

Interfund Lending:

Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, the Trust and Adviser rely on an exemptive order granted by the SEC in March 2017 (the "Order"), permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the "Facility"). The Facility allows the Funds to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other Fund in the Victory Fund Complex relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are allowed for temporary or emergency purposes. The interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. As a Borrower, interest charged to the Fund during the period is presented on the Statements of Operations under Interest expense on Interfund lending. As a Lender, interest earned by the Fund during the period is reflected on the Statements of Operations under Income on Interfund lending.

The average borrowing and lending for the days outstanding and average interest rate for each Fund during the year ended December 31, 2019 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

7. Federal Income Tax Information:

Distributions of net investment income, if any, are made quarterly by Target Income and annually by each of the other Funds. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually by each Fund.

The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Funds may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The following permanent reclassifications were made between capital accounts to reflect the portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders that was claimed as a distribution for income tax purposes during the year ended December 31, 2019 (amounts in thousands):

Expense Examples

As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019.

The Actual Expense figures in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

The Hypothetical Expense figures in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note the expenses shown in the table below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Dear Shareholder,

As we turn the page into a new decade, it's hard not to reflect on the fact that we have been enjoying the longest-ever bull market in U.S. equities. The run has been impressive, and despite periods of tumult and plenty of negative news, the bull market endured throughout 2019.

For the annual reporting period ended December 31, 2019, the S&P 500® Index ("S&P 500") posted impressive gains of almost 29%. This represents the greatest one-year gain since 2013 and also illustrates a swift bounce-back after a precipitous drop late in 2018. The move higher supports the notion that underlying fundamentals of U.S. companies drive performance, rather than the political news and headline fears that often capture the attention of investors.

Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised at the impressive performance of equities. The U.S. economy—the world's largest—remains on solid footing and has been a key driver of both domestic and international stocks. Robust job creation, near-record low unemployment, and steady consumer spending continue and offer reasons for further optimism. Meanwhile, inflation remains muted, and the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") and other major global central banks have taken an accommodative stance. In fact, the Fed has cut interest rates by a total of 0.75% over three meetings last July, September, and October.

The risk-on attitudes of investors, coupled with the accommodative monetary policy, had an expected impact on U.S. Treasury yields. The 10-year Treasury yield declined significantly over the course of 2019, falling from 2.66% to 1.92% at year-end. More interesting, however, was that the yield on 10-year Treasurys fell below shorter-term yields for the first time since before the 2007-2008 Global Financial Crisis. This inverted yield curve spooked investors for a spell, only to revert back to a traditional upward sloping yield curve by the end of 2019.

The robust domestic economy, low interest rates, and ample liquidity from central banks provided a potent tonic for the stock market in 2019. In fact, at year-end 2019, the S&P 500 was approaching its highest valuation level since 1999. This reminds all of us to retain some historical context on the bull market. Many of us remember the Global Financial Crisis and, before that, the collapse of the dot-com bubble. Although those are now but a distant memory (and we are not forecasting such tumult), we should not forget that stocks don't always go up and cycles don't last forever. In other words, valuations still matter.

The key point is not to discount the risks. In addition to lofty valuations, investors need to keep apprised of trade disputes, geopolitical hotspots, a contentious U.S. election, and a host of other potential headwinds. Yet it is these very risks—these cross-currents—that may create pricing dislocations. This is an environment in which we believe our Victory Capital independent investment franchises can thrive.

On the following pages, you will find information relating to your USAA Funds investment. If you have any questions, we encourage you to contact your financial adviser. Or, if you invest with us directly, you may call (800) 235-8396, or visit our website at www.usaa.com.

USAA Ultra Short-Term Bond Fund

Manager's Commentary

USAA Investments, A Victory Capital Investment Franchise
Douglas Rollwitz
Brian Smith
Jim Jackson
Neal Graves

•  What were the market conditions during the reporting period?

Bond yields ended the reporting period of December 31, 2019 lower than they began, as the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") loosened monetary policy. Fed policymakers lowered the federal funds ("fed funds") rate three times during 2019—by 0.25% on each occasion—to a range between 1.50% and 1.75% at the end of the reporting period. Rates were left unchanged at the last meeting of the year in December with the Fed expecting the economy to continue improving. Regarding the Fed's balance sheet, a normalization program that took place between October 2017 and August 2019 gradually decreased it to $3.8 trillion from $4.4 trillion, before rising again starting in September 2019. In September, there was a serious funding shortfall in the repo market, and the Fed responded with a series of liquidity injections aimed at preventing further capital droughts and stabilizing short term rates. The Fed balance sheet ended the year at just under $4.2 trillion.

The other noteworthy event in the market was the yield curve inversion. In August 2019, the yield on a 10-year U.S. Treasury note fell below the yield on a two-year note for the first time since 2007 in what is commonly known as a yield curve inversion. While interest rates set by the Fed have a significant influence on short-term U.S. Treasury yields, market forces such as investor sentiment and demand for various tenors of bonds determine the actual shape of the yield curve. Yield curve inversions are not a common occurrence and have preceded the past seven recessions, with the average lead time being 14 months. Global economic activity picked up markedly late in 2019, and the year ended with a normally sloped yield curve. As a reference, the one-year U.S. Treasury yield started the reporting period at 2.60% and closed it at 1.57%.

The investment-grade new issue market priced $1.128 trillion of primary corporate supply in 2019, down only modestly at 1.8% year-over-year, but the lowest gross issuance since 2014. Demand for bonds was strong and credit spreads tightened significantly throughout 2019. The investment-grade index spread started the reporting period at approximately +200 basis points and ended at +128 basis points. Higher quality A-rated paper tightened in as well, starting the period at +122 basis points and ending at +72 basis points. An influx of demand from foreign buyers was a contributing factor to spread tightening, as many of these investors were fleeing negative yields in their local markets.

•  How did the USAA Ultra Short-Term Bond Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?

The Fund has three share classes: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and R6 Shares. For the reporting period ended December 31, 2019, the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and R6 shares had total returns of 4.37%, 4.43%, and 4.70%, respectively. This compares

USAA Mutual Funds Trust (Unaudited)

USAA Ultra Short-Term Bond Fund (continued)

Manager's Commentary (continued)

to total returns of 2.25% for the Citigroup 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index and 3.05% for the Lipper Ultra Short Obligations Funds Index.

•  What were your strategies for the Fund during the reporting period?

Maintaining our investment approach, we selectively sought relative value opportunities among various sectors near the front end of the yield curve. As always, we worked closely with our in-house team of credit analysts, who use independent credit research to identify and evaluate potential investments. Our credit analysts also continuously monitored every bond in the portfolio. As the Fund entered the reporting period with a longer duration than the Citigroup 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index and the Lipper Ultra Short Obligations Funds Index, declining short-term interest rates were a meaningful positive contributor to performance. Tightening credit spreads also added to performance. Throughout all types of interest rate and credit spread environments, we intend to seek out what we believe are selective opportunities along the front end of curve.

At the end of the reporting period, the Fund had a weighted average maturity ("WAM") of close to one year at 1.01. The portfolio's duration, which is a measure of its sensitivity to changes in interest rates, was one year.

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your investment needs.

(% of Net Assets)

This chart reflects the highest long-term rating from a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (NRSRO), with the four highest long-term credit ratings labeled, in descending order of credit quality, AAA, AA, A, and BBB. These categories represent investment-grade quality. NRSRO ratings are shown because they provide independent analysis of the credit quality of the Fund's investments. Victory Capital Management, Inc. ("Adviser") also performs its own fundamental credit analysis of each security. As part of its fundamental credit analysis, the Adviser considers various criteria, including industry specific actions, peer comparisons, payment ranking, and structure specific characteristics. Any of the Fund's securities that are not rated by an NRSRO appear in the chart above as "Unrated," but these securities are analyzed and monitored by the Adviser on an ongoing basis. Government securities that are issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. government and pre-refunded and escrowed-to-maturity municipal bonds that are not rated are treated as AAA for credit quality purposes.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA Ultra Short-Term Bond Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA Ultra Short-Term Bond Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting the USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of December 31, 2019, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund at December 31, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian and agent banks. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

                                   

 

We have served as the auditor of one or more Victory Capital investment companies since 1995.

*  Assumes reinvestment of all net investment income and realized capital gain distributions, if any, during the period. Includes adjustments in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and could differ from the Lipper reported return.

Details of the current contractual expense limitation in effect can be found in Note 4 of the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

(a)  Not annualized for periods less than one year.

(b)  Annualized for periods less than one year.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2019
 

1. Organization:

USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 47 funds and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with no par value.

The accompanying financial statements are those of the USAA Ultra Short-Term Bond Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers three classes of shares: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and R6 Shares. The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.

Each class of shares of the Fund has substantially identical rights and privileges except with respect to fees paid under distribution plans, expenses allocable exclusively to each class of shares, voting rights on matters solely affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange privilege of each class of shares.

On November 6, 2018, United Services Automobile Association ("USAA"), the parent company of USAA Asset Management Company ("AMCO"), the investment adviser to the Fund, and USAA Transfer Agency Company, d/b/a USAA Shareholder Account Services ("SAS"), the transfer agent to the Fund, announced that AMCO and SAS would be acquired by Victory Capital Holdings Inc., a global investment management firm headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio (the "Transaction"). The Transaction closed on July 1, 2019. A special shareholder meeting was held on April 18, 2019, at which shareholders of the Fund approved a new investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or "Adviser"). Effective July 1, 2019, VCM replaced AMCO as the investment adviser to the Fund and Victory Capital Transfer Agency Company replaced SAS as the Fund's transfer agent. In addition, effective on that same date, shareholders of the Fund also elected the following two new directors to the Board of the Trust to serve upon the closing of the Transaction: (1) David C. Brown, to serve as an Interested Trustee; and (2) John C. Walters, to serve as an Independent Trustee.

Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent 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. The Fund follows the specialized accounting and reporting requirements under GAAP that are applicable to investment companies under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.

Investment Valuation:

The Fund records investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Fund's investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

• Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities or interest rates applicable to those securities, etc.)


26



USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements — continued

• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuation techniques are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with entering into those investments.

The Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") has established the Pricing and Liquidity Committee (the "Committee") and, subject to Board oversight, the Committee administers and oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures, which are approved by the Board.

Portfolio securities listed or traded on securities exchanges, including exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") and Rights, are valued at the closing price on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, if available, or the over-the-counter markets, are valued at the last sales price or official closing price. If there have been no sales for that day on the exchange or system, then a security is valued at the last available bid quotation on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded. In each of these situations, valuations typically are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value. These valuations typically are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Debt securities of United States ("U.S.") issuers, along with corporate and municipal securities, including short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less, may be valued using evaluated bid or the last sales price to price securities by dealers or an independent pricing service approved by the Board. These valuations typically are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Effective July 1, 2019 the valuation methodology applied to certain debt securities changed. Securities that were previously valued at an evaluated mean are now valued at the evaluated bid or the last sales price.

In the event that price quotations or valuations are not readily available, are not reflective of market value, or a significant event has been recognized in relation to a security or class of securities, the securities are valued in good faith by the Committee in accordance with valuation procedures approved by the Board. These valuations typically are categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, based on the observability of inputs used to determine the fair value. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and the actual price realized from the sale of a security may differ materially from the fair value price. Valuing these securities at fair value is intended to cause the Fund's net asset value ("NAV") to be more reliable than it otherwise would be.

A summary of the valuations as of December 31, 2019, based upon the three levels defined above, is included in the table below while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed in the Schedule of Portfolio Investments (amounts in thousands):

Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"):

The Fund may invest in REITs, which report information on the source of their distributions annually. REITs are pooled investment vehicles that invest primarily in income producing real estate or real estate related loans or interests (such as mortgages). Certain distributions received from REITs during the year are recorded as realized gains or return of capital as estimated by the Fund or when such information becomes known.

Investment Companies:

The Fund may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the board of directors of the underlying funds.

Securities Purchased on a Delayed-Delivery or When-Issued Basis:

The Fund may purchase securities on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis or for delayed draws on loans can take place a month or more after the trade date. At the time the Fund makes the commitment to purchase a security on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis, the Fund records the transaction and reflects the value of the security in determining net asset value. No interest accrues to the Fund until the transaction settles and payment takes place. A segregated account is established and the Fund maintains cash and/or marketable securities at least equal in value to commitments for delayed-delivery or when-issued securities. If the Fund owns delayed-delivery or when-issued securities, these values are included in "Payable for investments purchased" on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the segregated assets are identified in the Schedule of Portfolio Investments.

Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities:

The values of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Fund to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The values of mortgage and asset-backed securities depend in part on the credit quality and adequacy of the underlying assets or collateral and may fluctuate in response to the market's perception of these factors as well as current and future repayment rates. Some mortgage-backed securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government (e.g., mortgage-backed securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association, commonly known as "Ginnie Mae"), while other mortgage-backed securities (e.g., mortgage-backed securities issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, commonly known as "Fannie Mae" and "Freddie Mac"), are backed only by the credit of the government entity issuing them. In addition, some mortgage-backed securities are issued by private entities and, as such, are not guaranteed by the U.S. government or any agency or instrumentality of the U.S. government.

Investment Transactions and Related Income:

Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discount. 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.

Securities Lending:

The Fund, through a securities lending agreement with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), may lend its securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers, to earn additional income, net of


28

income retained by Citibank. Borrowers are required to secure their loans for collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non-U.S. securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls associated with increases in the valuation of the securities loaned are cured the next business day once the shortfall exceeds $100 thousand. Collateral may be cash, U.S. government securities, or other securities as permitted by SEC guidelines. Cash collateral may be invested in high-quality short-term investments, primarily open-end investment companies. Collateral requirements are determined daily based on the value of the Fund's securities on loan as of the end of the prior business day. During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the Fund any dividends or interest paid on such securities plus any fee negotiated between the parties to the lending agreement. The Fund also earns a return from the collateral. The Fund pays Citibank various fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral and fees based on the investment income received from securities lending activities. Securities lending income (net of these fees) is disclosed on the Statement of Operations. Loans are terminable upon demand and the borrower must return the loaned securities within the lesser of one standard settlement period or five business days. Risks relating to securities-lending transactions include that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or return the securities when due, and that the value of the short-term investments will be less than the amount of cash collateral required to be returned to the borrower. The Fund's agreement with Citibank does not include master netting provisions. Non-cash collateral received by the Fund may not be sold or re-pledged except to satisfy borrower default. Cash collateral is listed in the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments and Financial Statements while non-cash collateral is not included. The following table (amounts in thousands) is a summary of the Fund's securities lending transactions as of December 31, 2019:

Federal Income Taxes:

It is the Fund's policy 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 gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Fund has a tax year end of December 31.

Management of the Fund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.

Allocations:

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund, while expenses that are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust, or jointly with an affiliated trust, are allocated among the respective funds in the Trust and/or affiliated trust based upon net assets or another appropriate basis.

Income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses such as transfer agent fees, state registration fees, and printing fees), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets on the date income is earned or expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred.

Cross-Trade Transactions:

Pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act, the Fund may engage in cross-trades, which are securities transactions with affiliated investment companies and advisory accounts managed by the Adviser and any applicable sub-adviser. Any such purchase or sale transaction must be effected without brokerage commission or other remuneration, except for customary transfer fees. The transaction must be effected at the current market price, which is either the security's last sale price on an exchange or, if there are

no transactions in the security that day, at the average of the highest bid and lowest asked price.

4. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties:

Investment Advisory and Management Fees:

Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, investment advisory services are provided to the Fund by the Adviser, a New York corporation registered as an investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Adviser is a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Victory Capital Holdings, Inc., a publicly traded Delaware corporation, and a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Victory Capital Operating, LLC. Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive a base fee and a performance adjustment. The Fund's base fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.24% of average daily net assets. The amount incurred and paid to VCM from July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019, was $358 thousand and is reflected on the Statement of Operations as Investment Advisory fees.

Prior to the Transaction on July 1, 2019, AMCO provided investment management services to the Fund pursuant to an Advisory Agreement. Under this agreement, AMCO was responsible for managing the business and affairs of the Fund, and for directly managing day-to-day investment of the Fund's assets, subject to the authority of and supervision by the Board. The investment management fee for the Fund was comprised of a base fee and a performance adjustment. The Fund's base fee was accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.24% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, no performance adjustments will be made for periods beginning July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020. Only performance beginning as of July 1, 2019, and thereafter will be utilized in calculating future performance adjustments.

Prior to the Transaction on July 1, 2019, the performance adjustment for each share class was calculated monthly by comparing the Fund's performance to that of the Lipper Ultra Short Obligations Funds Index. The Lipper Ultra Short Obligations Funds Index, which measures the performance of funds tracked by Lipper that invest at least 65% of their assets in investment grade debt issues, or better, and maintain a portfolio dollar-weighted average maturity between 91 days and 365 days.


30



USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements — continued
December 31, 2019
 

The performance period for each share class consists of the current month plus the previous 35 months (or the number of months beginning July 1, 2019, if fewer). The following table is utilized to determine the extent of the performance adjustment:

Over/Under Performance
Relative to Index (in basis
points)(a)
  Annual Adjustment Rate
(in basis points)(a)
 

+/- 20 to 50

 

+/- 4

 

+/- 51 to 100

 

+/- 5

 

+/- 101 and greater

 

+/- 6

 

(a)  Based on the difference between average annual performance of the relevant share class of the Fund and its relevant index, rounded to the nearest basis point. Average daily net assets of the share class are calculated over a rolling 36-month period.

Each class' annual performance adjustment rate is multiplied by the average daily net assets of each respective class over the entire performance period, which is then multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the month and the denominator of which is 365 (366 in leap years). The resulting amount is then added to (in the case of overperformance), or subtracted from (in the case of underperformance) the base fee.

Under the performance fee arrangement, each class pays a positive performance fee adjustment for a performance period whenever the class outperforms the Lipper Ultra Short Obligations Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.

For the period January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019, performance adjustments for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and R6 Shares were $55, $1, and $1 thousand, respectively. Base fees incurred and paid to AMCO from January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019 were $357 thousand and are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Investment Advisory fees.

Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, the Trust relies on an exemptive order granted to VCM and its affiliated funds by the SEC in March 2019 permitting the use of a "manager-of-managers" structure for certain funds. Prior to that date, the Trust relied on a similar exemptive order granted by the SEC to the Trust and its affiliated persons. Under a manager-of-managers structure, the investment adviser may select (with approval of the Board and without shareholder approval) one or more subadvisers to manage the day-to-day investment of a fund's assets. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Fund had no subadvisers.

Administration and Servicing Fees:

Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, VCM serves as the Fund's administrator and fund accountant. Under the Fund Administration, Servicing and Accounting Agreement, VCM is paid for its services an annual fee at a rate of 0.15% of average daily net assets for the Fund Shares, 0.10% of average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares, and 0.05% of average daily net assets of the R6 Shares. Amounts incurred from July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019, were $209, $6, and $2 thousand for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and R6 Shares, respectively. These amounts are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Administration fees.

Prior to the Transaction on July 1, 2019, AMCO provided certain administration and servicing functions for the Fund. For such services, AMCO received a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.15% of average daily net assets for the Fund Shares, 0.10% of average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares, and 0.05% of average daily net assets of the R6 Shares, respectively. Amounts incurred from January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019, were $211, $6 and $1 thousand for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and R6 Shares, respectively. These amounts are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Administration fees.

Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, the Fund (as part of the Trust) has entered into an agreement to provide compliance services with the Adviser, pursuant to which the Adviser furnishes its compliance personnel, including the services of the Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO"), and other resources reasonably necessary to provide the Trust with compliance oversight services related to the design, administration and oversight of a compliance program for the Trust in accordance with Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The CCO is an employee of the Adviser, which pays the compensation of the CCO and support staff. Funds in the Trust, Victory Variable Insurance Funds, Victory Portfolios, and Victory Portfolios II (collectively, the "Victory Funds Complex") in the aggregate, compensates the Adviser for these services. The amount incurred during the period from July 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 is reflected on the Statement of Operations as Compliance fees.

("Citi"), an affiliate of Citibank, acts as sub-administrator and sub-fund accountant to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Administration and Sub-Fund Accounting Services Agreement between VCM and Citi. VCM pays Citi a fee for providing these services. The Trust reimburses VCM and Citi for all of their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing these services and certain other expenses specifically allocated to the Fund under the Fund Administration, Servicing, and Accounting Agreement.

In addition to the services provided under its Administration and Servicing Agreement with the Fund, AMCO also provided certain compliance and legal services for the benefit of the Fund prior to the Transaction on July 1, 2019. The Board approved the reimbursement of a portion of these expenses incurred by AMCO.

Transfer Agency Fees:

Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, Victory Capital Transfer Agency, Inc. ("VCTA"), (formerly, USAA Shareholder Account Services ("SAS")), provides transfer agency services to the Fund. VCTA, an affiliate of the Adviser, provides transfer agent services to the Fund Shares based on an annual charge of $25.50 per shareholder account plus out-of-pocket expenses. VCTA pays a portion of these fees to certain intermediaries for the administration and servicing of accounts that are held with such intermediaries. Transfer agent's fees for Institutional Shares and R6 Shares are paid monthly based on a fee accrued daily at an annualized rate of 0.10% and 0.01% of average daily net assets, respectively, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA from July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019 were $213, $6, and $1 thousand for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and R6 Shares, respectively. Amounts incurred and paid to SAS from January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019 were $71, $6 thousand, and less than $500 for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and R6 Shares, respectively. These amounts are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Transfer Agent fees.

Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, FIS Investor Services LLC serves as sub-transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agent Agreement between VCTA and FIS Investor Services LLC.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements — continued
December 31, 2019
 

Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, the Adviser has entered into an expense limitation agreement with the Fund until at least June 30, 2021. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of the Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. Interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures, which are capitalized in accordance with GAAP, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund's business are excluded from the expense limits. Effective July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 0.60%, 0.55%, and 0.39% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and R6 Shares, respectively.

Under this expense limitation agreement, the Fund has agreed to repay fees and expenses that were waived or reimbursed by the Adviser for a period up to three years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement took place, subject to the lesser of any operating expense limits in effect at the time of: (a) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (b) the recoupment, after giving effect to the recoupment amount. As of December 31, 2019, the following amounts are available to be repaid to the Adviser (amounts in thousands). The amount repaid to the Adviser during the year ended December 31, 2019 is reflected on the Statement of Operations as "Expenses waived/reimbursed by Adviser."

The Adviser, may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Fund in maintaining competitive expense ratios. Voluntary waivers and reimbursements applicable to the Fund are not available to be recouped at a future time. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Prior to the Transaction on July 1, 2019, AMCO agreed, through April 30, 2020, to limit the total annual operating expenses of the Institutional Shares and R6 Shares to 0.55% and 0.39%, respectively, of average daily net assets, excluding extraordinary expenses and before reductions of any expenses paid indirectly, and to reimburse the Institutional Shares and R6 Share for all expenses in excess of those amounts. Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, these expense limits are no longer in effect. For the period from January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019, the Fund incurred reimbursements of $24 thousand. This amount is reflected on the Statement of Operations as "Expenses waived/reimbursed by AMCO."

Certain officers and/or interested trustees of the Fund are also officers and/or employees of the Adviser, Administrator, Sub-Administrator, Sub-Fund Accountant, and Legal.

5. Risks:

The Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.

The fixed-income securities in the Fund's portfolio are subject to credit risk, which is the possibility that an issuer of a fixed-income security will fail to make timely interest and/or principal payments on its securities or that negative market perceptions of the issuer's ability to make such payments will cause the price of that security to decline. The Fund accepts some credit risk as a recognized means to enhance an investor's return. All fixed-income securities, varying from the highest quality to the very speculative, have some degree of credit risk. Fixed-income securities rated below investment grade, also known as "junk" or high-yield bonds, generally entail greater economic, credit, and liquidity risk than investment-grade securities. Their prices may be more volatile, especially during economic downturns, financial setbacks, or liquidity events.

The Fund is subject to the risk that the market value of the bonds in its portfolio will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates, changes in the supply of and demand for debt securities, and other market factors. Bond prices generally are linked to the prevailing market interest rates. In general, when interest rates rise, bond prices fall; and conversely, when interest rates fall, bond prices rise. The price volatility of a bond also depends on its maturity. Generally, the longer the maturity of a bond, the


33



USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements — continued
December 31, 2019
 

greater is its sensitivity to interest rates. To compensate investors for this higher interest rate risk, bonds with longer maturities generally offer higher yields than bonds with shorter maturities. The Fund may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates due to the current period of historically low rates. The ability of an issuer of a debt security to repay principal prior to a security's maturity can cause greater price volatility if interest rates change.

The Fund is subject to legislative risk, which is the risk that changes in government policies may affect the value of the investments held by the Fund in ways we cannot anticipate, and that such policies could have an adverse impact on the value of the Fund's investments and the Fund's net asset value.

6. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:

Line of Credit:

Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, the Victory Funds Complex participates in a short-term, demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex could borrow up to $600 million, of which $300 million is committed and $300 million is uncommitted. $40 million of the Line of Credit is reserved for use by the Victory Floating Rate Fund, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with that Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the agreement is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. Citibank receives an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $300 million for providing the Line of Credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex pays a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest (one month LIBOR plus one percent) on amounts borrowed. Interest charged to the Fund during the period is presented on the Statement of Operations under line of credit fees.

Prior to the Transaction on July 1, 2019, the line of credit among the Trust, with respect to its funds, and USAA Capital Corporation ("CAPCO") terminated. For the period from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019, the Fund paid CAPCO facility fees of $1 thousand.

The Fund had no borrowings under either agreement with Citibank or CAPCO during the year ended December 31, 2019.

Interfund Lending:

Effective with the Transaction on July 1, 2019, the Trust and Adviser rely on an exemptive order granted by the SEC in March 2017 (the "Order"), permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the "Facility"). The Facility allows the Fund to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other Fund in the Victory Fund Complex relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are allowed for temporary or emergency purposes. The interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. As a Borrower, interest charged to the Fund during the period is presented on the Statement of Operations under Interest expense on Interfund lending. As a Lender, interest earned by the Fund during the period is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Income on Interfund lending.

The Fund did not utilize or participate in the Facility during the period from July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019.

7. Federal Income Tax Information:

The Fund intends to declare daily and distribute any net investment income monthly. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.

The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital.


34



USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements — continued
December 31, 2019
 

Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

As of December 31, 2019 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, there were no permanent book-to-tax difference reclassification adjustments.

The tax character of distributions paid during the tax years ended, as noted below, were as follows (total distributions paid may differ from the Statement of Changes in Net Assets because, for tax purposes, dividends are recognized when actually paid) (amounts in thousands):

8. Recent Accounting Prounouncements

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Premium Amortization of Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in the ASU shorten the premium amortization period on a purchased callable debt security from the security's contractual life to the earliest call date. ASU 2017-08 became effective for funds with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Adviser has determined the adoption of this standard has no significant impact on the financial statements and reporting disclosures of the Fund.

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019.

The Actual Expense figures in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

The Hypothetical Expense figures in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note the expenses shown in the table below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
