PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
"...[W]E HAVE BELIEVED FOR SOME TIME THE
ECONOMIC RECOVERY WILL BE MORE GRADUAL [PHOTO OF BROOKS ENGLEHARDT]
THAN THE MARKET'S INITIAL EXPECTATIONS."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AUGUST 2014
The six-month reporting period was a reminder that nothing should be taken for
granted, especially when it comes to the economy and financial markets. In
January 2014, when the six-month period began, many observers anticipated U.S.
economic growth of more than 3% in 2014. Interest rates were expected to rise
once the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) began tapering (or reducing) its
quantitative easing (QE) asset purchases. The equity market was expected to
become more volatile, as Fed tapering continued. Instead, stock market
volatility remained low, interest rates fell, and U.S. economic growth slowed.
At USAA Asset Management Company, we have believed for some time the economic
recovery will be more gradual than the market's initial expectations. Indeed,
economic growth disappointed many during the reporting period, contracting by
2.9% in the first quarter of 2014. Some attributed the deceleration to the
extreme winter weather, but we are not entirely convinced. For example, in
Canada, where the winter weather was equally harsh, economic growth remained
positive. In the second quarter, economic growth appeared to pick up -
manufacturing data and construction spending improved, for example - suggesting
the economy was getting healthier. Nevertheless, we believe that gross domestic
product growth for 2014 is likely to fall short of the market's expectations at
the beginning of the year.
At the same time, inflationary pressures are increasing. The Fed has a
long-stated inflation target of 2%. By many measures, inflation is at or near
that range. If inflation continues to rise, the Fed may taper its QE asset
purchases more aggressively.
Meanwhile, the U.S. stock market generated positive returns during the reporting
period, with little to no increase in market volatility. International stocks
also generated positive returns. We remain concerned, and are also
================================================================================
================================================================================
uncertain, if the improving economy can generate the revenue and earnings growth
needed to justify current valuations and serve as a foundation for future price
gains. Valuations will continue to rise, in our opinion, if economic growth
accelerates and profit margins can maintain their current levels. If growth
stalls and profit margins decrease, earnings may disappoint and stocks may trim
their gains. Based on fundamental valuation at the time of this writing, we are
more optimistic about the near-term prospects for international stocks than for
U.S. stocks.
As for interest rates, they declined after the Fed started tapering its QE asset
purchases. By the end of the reporting period, the Fed - which had bought $85
billion of U.S. Treasury securities and mortgage-backed securities every month
during 2013 - had cut its asset purchases by more than half, with $35 billion
slated for purchase in July 2014. Longer-term interest rates, which had been
expected to increase, dropped and bond prices (which tend to move inversely with
rates) increased. We have long believed that, while interest rates would rise
over the longer term, it would be at a much more gradual pace than the market
was expecting.
In the months ahead, we will continue to monitor the direction of interest rates
and central bank policy, as well as the financial markets, corporate earnings,
economic trends, and other factors that could potentially affect your
investments. Assuming the U.S. economy regains its footing and continues to
strengthen, we expect the Fed to end its QE asset purchases by the end of 2014.
We believe that other global central banks are likely to maintain their easy
monetary policies, using rate cuts and/or asset purchases, to boost economic
growth in their countries and to support their financial markets.
On behalf of everyone at USAA Asset Management Company, thank you for allowing
us to help you manage your investments. We appreciate your continued investment
in our family of mutual funds.
Sincerely,
/S/ BROOKS ENGLEHARDT
Brooks Englehardt
President
USAA Asset Management Company
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. o As interest rates rise,
bond prices generally fall; given the historically low interest rate
environment, risks associated with rising interest rates may be heightened.

FUND OBJECTIVE
THE USAA GLOBAL MANAGED VOLATILITY FUND (THE FUND) SEEKS TO ATTAIN LONG-TERM
CAPITAL APPRECIATION WHILE ATTEMPTING TO REDUCE VOLATILITY DURING UNFAVORABLE
MARKET CONDITIONS.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TYPES OF INVESTMENTS
The Fund employs several strategies across multiple asset classes in seeking to
achieve its objective. The Fund's principal strategy is to combine a portfolio
of domestic and foreign equity and debt securities with the use of alternative
investment strategies to provide growth with greater downside risk controls.
The Fund may invest in multiple asset classes including U.S. stocks, non-U.S.
stocks in developed and emerging markets, global real estate securities, and
fixed-income securities. The Fund will move its allocation between these asset
classes to take advantage of opportunities and to manage risk.
IRA DISTRIBUTION WITHHOLDING DISCLOSURE
We generally must withhold federal income tax at a rate of 10% of the taxable
portion of your distribution and, if you live in a state that requires state
income tax withholding, at your state's set rate. However, you may elect not to
have withholding apply or to have income tax withheld at a higher rate. If you
wish to make such an election, please call USAA Asset Management Company at
(800) 531-USAA (8722).
If you must pay estimated taxes, you may be subject to estimated tax penalties
if your estimated tax payments are not sufficient and sufficient tax is not

o 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 six-month reporting period ended June 30, 2014, the Fund Shares and
Institutional Shares had a total return of 2.69% and 2.78%, respectively.
This compares to a total return of 6.18% for the MSCI All-Country World
Index and 3.93% for the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, the Fund's
benchmarks.
USAA Asset Management Company is the Fund's investment adviser. As the
investment adviser, USAA Asset Management Company employs dedicated
resources to support the research, selection, and monitoring of the Fund's
subadvisers. QS Investors, LLC (QS) and Quantitative Management Associates
LLC (QMA) are subadvisers to the Fund. The investment adviser and each
subadviser provide day-to-day discretionary management for a portion of the
Fund's assets.
PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS.
Refer to page 7 for benchmark definitions.
*Per the prospectus dated May 1, 2014, this portfolio manager no longer is a
co-manager of the Fund.
================================================================================
2 | USAA GLOBAL MANAGED VOLATILITY FUND
================================================================================
o WHAT FACTORS HELPED AND HURT FUND PERFORMANCE?
The Fund's objective is to provide exposure to the long-term upside of the
global stock markets and at the same time attempt to smooth volatility and
manage the risk of serious losses. While the Fund indeed produced a
positive total return with below-average volatility during the first half,
it fell short of its benchmark returns due to the impact of its hedging
strategy. This strategy, which is designed to help cushion the impact of
large stock market sell-offs, detracted from performance at a time of
strong returns for global stocks. However, we continue to view the hedging
strategy as a way to protect against the potential for unexpected downturns
in the global stock markets, and we believe the substantial increase in
U.S. stock market valuations warrants continued hedging in the portfolio.
We believe this hedging strategy is essential to our goal of limiting the
Fund's share price volatility over time.
The Fund's holdings in the global stock and bond markets delivered positive
performance across the board during the past six months.
The Fund's domestic stock allocation added value in the first half of the
year, as the U.S. market produced a healthy gain as a result of improving
economic growth and hearty investor risk appetites. The domestic stock
portfolio - which is managed by QS - outperformed the Fund's benchmarks
during the reporting period. The Fund's domestic allocation is invested
entirely in large-cap stocks. The Fund did not hold any small-cap stocks
during the first six months of 2014, based on our belief that the asset
class has become overvalued following its strong performance in 2013.
The Fund's substantial developed-market international stock allocation
incorporates exchange-traded funds (ETFs), as well as a portfolio of
individual stocks managed by QMA. QMA generated a positive absolute return
and outpaced its benchmark by a wide margin, which aided Fund performance.
The Fund's position in an ETF linked to European stocks also was a plus
given that the region outperformed the broader international markets.
However, the Fund's holding in an ETF linked to the German stock market
detracted from returns. At USAA Asset Management Company, we continue to
believe the foreign markets in general, and Europe in particular, are a
source of opportunity at a
================================================================================
MANAGER(S) COMMENTARY ON THE FUND | 3
================================================================================
time in which U.S. stocks are trading above longer-term averages based on
many valuation metrics.
The Fund's position in the emerging markets, which we achieve via
broad-based and individual-country ETFs, was an additional positive for Fund
performance. Signs of stabilizing growth trends in large economies such as
China, India, and Brazil led to renewed investor interest in this market
segment. Within the Fund's emerging-market allocation, we added quite a bit
of value through our decision to target ETFs that focus on specific
countries and market segments. We generated substantial outperformance
relative to the broader asset class via ETFs that are invested in small-cap
stocks and a select group of specific countries that includes India, the
Philippines, and Turkey. The Fund continues to hold a sizeable position in
the emerging markets, as we believe the asset class remains undervalued in
light of the faster growth, lower government debt, and favorable
demographics relative to the developed markets.
The Fund also holds a modest allocation to bonds in order to generate
income, improve portfolio diversification, and achieve a measure of
defensiveness against financial-market volatility. The Fund's bond
portfolio outpaced the broader bond market in the first half of 2014 thanks
to robust individual security selection. Instead of attempting to generate
outperformance by taking on interest-rate risk, we seek to do so through
individual security selection in the more credit-sensitive areas of the
market - an approach that worked well in the past six months.
o WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE ECONOMY AND FINANCIAL MARKETS?
We believe the renewed strength in market segments that lagged in 2013-
such as bonds, gold stocks, and emerging market stocks - helps illustrate
the value of our steady approach. Rather than trying to chase performance
in whatever the "hot" market segment happens to be at any given time, we
build well-diversified portfolios that are designed to outperform over the
long term.
While stocks and bonds both performed very well in the first half,
investors now face the challenge of determining where the markets go from
here. On the plus side, we see little on the horizon to disrupt key
================================================================================
4 | USAA GLOBAL MANAGED VOLATILITY FUND
================================================================================
pillars of market performance, including the gradual economic expansion,
favorable central bank policies, and the unattractive return potential of
the lowest-risk investments. At the same time, it's important to keep in
mind that the financial-market strength of the past five years has
coincided with a massive expansion of the U.S. Federal Reserve's (the Fed)
balance sheet. Now that the Fed is tapering its quantitative easing policy,
it may become more difficult for the U.S. markets to maintain their upward
trajectories.
Despite this potential headwind, recent market performance indicates a high
degree of complacency among investors. Additionally, U.S. stocks have moved
to slightly overvalued levels. Together with the strong stock market return
of the first half of the year - and indeed, the past five years - we
believe this raises the odds that the favorable performance trends of the
first half may be vulnerable to unexpected developments.
Our approach to this investment environment is to keep a close eye on the
potential risks rather than attempting to chase incremental returns in
market segments that no longer offer value. Instead, we continue to use our
diversified, global approach to identify areas of the market that offer the
combination of strong fundamentals and attractive valuations, while tilting
away from those that no longer offer a compelling risk-return profile. We
believe this long-term, value-driven methodology will be critical to
generating outperformance in the second half of the year and beyond.
Thank you for your investment in the Fund.
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are subject to risks similar to those of
stocks. Investment returns may fluctuate and are subject to market
volatility, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed or sold, may be
worth more or less than their original cost. o Alternative investments
carry specific investor qualifications which can include high income and
net-worth requirements as well as relatively high investment minimums. They
are complex investment vehicles, generally carry high costs, substantial
risks, and may be highly volatile. There is often limited (or even
non-existent) liquidity and a lack of transparency regarding the underlying
assets. o Diversification is a technique intended to help reduce risk and
does not guarantee a profit or prevent a loss. o Foreign investing is
subject to additional risks, such as currency fluctuations, market
illiquidity, and political instability. Emerging market countries are most
volatile. Emerging market countries are less diverse and mature than other
countries and tend to be politically less stable. o As interest rates rise,
existing bond prices generally fall; given the historically low interest
rate environment, risks associated with rising interest rates may be
heightened.

Data since Fund inception 7/31/08 to 6/30/14.
The graph illustrates the comparison of a $10,000 hypothetical investment in the
USAA Global Managed Volatility Fund Institutional Shares to the benchmarks
listed above (see page 7 for benchmark definitions).
Past performance is no guarantee of future results, and the cumulative
performance quoted does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder
would pay on distributions or the redemption of shares. Indexes are unmanaged
and you cannot invest directly in an index. The return information for the
indexes does not reflect the deduction of any fees or expenses.

For the period of January 1, 2014, through June 30, 2014, equity securities with
a fair value of $18,811,000 were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1. Due to an
assessment of events at the beginning of the reporting period, this security had
adjustments to its foreign market closing prices to reflect changes in value
that occurred after the close of foreign markets and prior to the close of the
U.S. securities markets. The foreign market closing adjustments were not deemed
necessary at the end of the period. The Fund's policy is to recognize any
transfers into and out of the levels as of the beginning of the period in which
the event or circumstance that caused the transfer occurred.

NOTES TO PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS
June 30, 2014 (unaudited)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o GENERAL NOTES
Market values of securities are determined by procedures and practices
discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements.
The portfolio of investments category percentages shown represent the
percentages of the investments to net assets, and, in total, may not equal
100%. A category percentage of 0.0% represents less than 0.1% of net
assets. Investments in foreign securities were 55.6% of net assets at
June 30, 2014.
The 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.
o CATEGORIES AND DEFINITIONS
ASSET-BACKED AND COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES - Asset-backed
securities represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable
from, a stream of payments generated by particular assets. Commercial
mortgage-backed securities reflect an interest in, and are secured by,
mortgage loans on commercial real property. These securities represent
ownership in a pool of loans and are divided into pieces (tranches) with
varying maturities. The stated final maturity of such securities represents
when the final principal payment will be made for all underlying loans.
The weighted average life is the average time for principal to be repaid,
which is calculated by assuming prepayment rates of the underlying loans.
The weighted average life is likely to be substantially shorter than the
stated final maturity as a result of scheduled principal payments and
================================================================================
NOTES TO PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS | 37
================================================================================
unscheduled principal prepayments. Stated interest rates on commercial
mortgage-backed securities may change slightly over time as underlying
mortgages pay down.
EURODOLLAR AND YANKEE OBLIGATIONS - Eurodollar obligations are dollar-
denominated instruments that are issued outside the U.S. capital markets by
foreign corporations and financial institutions and by foreign branches of
U.S. corporations and financial institutions. Yankee obligations are
dollar-denominated instruments that are issued by foreign issuers in the
U.S. capital markets.
o PORTFOLIO ABBREVIATION(S) AND DESCRIPTION(S)
ADR - American depositary receipts are receipts issued by a U.S. bank
evidencing ownership of foreign shares. Dividends are paid in U.S. dollars.
REIT - Real estate investment trust
CREDIT ENHANCEMENTS - add the financial strength of the provider of the
enhancement to support the issuer's ability to repay the principal and
interest payments when due. The enhancement may be provided by a
high-quality bank, insurance company or other corporation, or a collateral
trust. The enhancements do not guarantee the market values of the
securities.
(INS) Principal and interest payments are insured by MBIA Insurance
Corp. Although bond insurance reduces the risk of loss due to
default by an issuer, such bonds remain subject to the risk that
value may fluctuate for other reasons, and there is no assurance
that the insurance company will meet its obligations.
o SPECIFIC NOTES
(a) The security, or a portion thereof, is segregated to cover the value of
open futures contracts at June 30, 2014.
(b) Security deemed illiquid by USAA Asset Management Company (the
Manager), under liquidity guidelines approved by the USAA Mutual Funds
Trust's Board of Trustees (the Board). The aggregate market value of
these securities at June 30, 2014, was zero.
================================================================================
38 | USAA GLOBAL MANAGED VOLATILITY FUND
================================================================================
(c) Security was fair valued at June 30, 2014, by the Manager in accordance
with valuation procedures approved by the Board. The total value of all
such securities was zero.
(d) Restricted security that is not registered under the Securities Act of
1933. A resale of this security in the United States may occur in an
exempt transaction to a qualified institutional buyer as defined by
Rule 144A, and as such has been deemed liquid by the Manager under
liquidity guidelines approved by the Board, unless otherwise noted as
illiquid.
(e) Variable-rate or floating-rate security - interest rate is adjusted
periodically. The interest rate disclosed represents the rate at June
30, 2014.
(f) Security is perpetual and has no final maturity date but may be subject
to calls at various dates in the future.
(g) Senior loan (loan) - is not registered under the Securities Act of
1933. The loan contains certain restrictions on resale and cannot be
sold publicly. The interest rate is adjusted periodically, and the rate
disclosed represents the current rate at June 30, 2014. The weighted
average life of the loan is likely to be shorter than the stated final
maturity date due to mandatory or optional prepayments. The loan is
deemed liquid by the Manager, under liquidity guidelines approved by
the Board, unless otherwise noted as illiquid.
(h) At June 30, 2014, the issuer was in default with respect to interest
and/or principal payments.
(i) Securities with a value of $40,000 are segregated as collateral for
initial margin requirements on open futures contracts.
(j) Zero-coupon security. Rate represents the effective yield at the date
of purchase.
(k) Rate represents the money market fund annualized seven-day yield at
June 30, 2014.
* Non-income-producing security.

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
USAA MUTUAL FUNDS TRUST (the Trust), registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), is an open-end management investment company
organized as a Delaware statutory trust consisting of 52 separate funds. The
information presented in this semiannual report pertains only to the USAA Global
Managed Volatility Fund (the Fund), which is classified as diversified under the
1940 Act. The Fund's investment objective is to attain long-term capital
appreciation while attempting to reduce volatility during unfavorable market
conditions.
The Fund consists of two classes of shares: Global Managed Volatility Fund
Shares (Fund Shares) and Global Managed Volatility Fund Institutional Shares
(Institutional Shares). Each class of shares has equal rights to assets and
earnings, except that each class bears certain class-related expenses specific
to the particular class. These expenses include administration and servicing
fees, transfer agent fees, postage, shareholder reporting fees, and certain
registration and custodian fees. Expenses not attributable to a specific class,
income, and realized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class
of shares based on each class's relative net assets. Each class has exclusive
voting rights on matters related solely to that class and separate voting rights
on matters that relate to both classes. The Institutional Shares are available
for investment through a USAA discretionary managed account program, and certain
advisory programs sponsored by financial intermediaries, such as brokerage
firms, investment advisors, financial planners, third-party administrators, and
insurance companies. Institutional Shares also are available to institutional
investors, which include retirement plans, endowments, foundations, and bank
trusts, as well as other persons or legal entities that the Fund may approve
from time to time, or for purchase
================================================================================
44 | USAA GLOBAL MANAGED VOLATILITY FUND
================================================================================
by a USAA Fund participating in a fund-of-funds investment strategy (USAA
fund-of-funds) and not to the general public.
A. SECURITY VALUATION - The Trust's Board of Trustees (the Board) has
established the Valuation 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. Among other
things, these policies and procedures allow the Fund to utilize independent
pricing services, quotations from securities dealers, and a wide variety of
sources and information to establish and adjust the fair value of
securities as events occur and circumstances warrant.
The Committee reports to the Board on a quarterly basis and makes
recommendations to the Board as to pricing methodologies and services used
by the Fund and presents additional information to the Board regarding
application of the pricing and fair valuation policies and procedures
during the preceding quarter.
The Committee meets as often as necessary to make pricing and fair value
determinations. In addition, the Committee holds regular monthly meetings
to review prior actions taken by the Committee and USAA Asset Management
Company (the Manager). Among other things, these monthly meetings include a
review and analysis of back testing reports, pricing service quotation
comparisons, illiquid securities and fair value determinations, pricing
movements, and daily stale price monitoring.
The value of each security is determined (as of the close of trading on the
New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each business day the NYSE is open) as
set forth below:
1. Equity securities, including Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), except as
otherwise noted, traded primarily on a domestic securities exchange or
the Nasdaq over-the-counter markets, are valued at the last sales price
or official closing price on the exchange or primary market on which
they trade. Equity securities traded primarily on foreign securities
exchanges or markets are valued at the last quoted sales price, or the
most recently determined official closing price calculated according to
local market convention, available at the time
================================================================================
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | 45
================================================================================
the Fund is valued. If no last sale or official closing price is
reported or available, the average of the bid and asked prices
generally is used.
2. Equity securities trading in various foreign markets may take place on
days when the NYSE is closed. Further, when the NYSE is open, the
foreign markets may be closed. Therefore, the calculation of the Fund's
net asset value (NAV) may not take place at the same time the prices of
certain foreign securities held by the Fund are determined. In most
cases, events affecting the values of foreign securities that occur
between the time of their last quoted sales or official closing prices
and the close of normal trading on the NYSE on a day the Fund's NAV is
calculated will not be reflected in the value of the Fund's foreign
securities. However, the Manager, an affiliate of the Fund, and the
Fund's subadviser(s), if applicable, will monitor for events that would
materially affect the value of the Fund's foreign securities. The
Fund's subadviser(s) has agreed to notify the Manager of significant
events it identifies that would materially affect the value of the
Fund's foreign securities. If the Manager determines that a particular
event would materially affect the value of the Fund's foreign
securities, then the Manager, under valuation procedures approved by
the Board, will consider such available information that it deems
relevant to determine a fair value for the affected foreign securities.
In addition, the Fund may use information from an external vendor or
other sources to adjust the foreign market closing prices of foreign
equity securities to reflect what the Fund believes to be the fair
value of the securities as of the close of the NYSE. Fair valuation of
affected foreign equity securities may occur frequently based on an
assessment that events that occur on a fairly regular basis (such as
U.S. market movements) are significant.
3. Investments in open-end investment companies, hedge, or other funds,
other than ETFs, are valued at their NAV at the end of each business
day.
4. Debt securities purchased with original or remaining maturities of 60
days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates market
value.
================================================================================
46 | USAA GLOBAL MANAGED VOLATILITY FUND
================================================================================
5. Debt securities with maturities greater than 60 days are valued each
business day by a pricing service (the Service) approved by the Board.
The Service uses an evaluated mean between quoted bid and asked prices
or the last sales price to price securities when, in the Service's
judgment, these prices are readily available and are representative of
the securities' market values. For many securities, such prices are not
readily available. The Service generally prices these securities based
on methods that include consideration of yields or prices of securities
of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, and type; indications as to
values from dealers in securities; and general market conditions.
6. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates market
value.
7. Futures are valued based upon the last sale price at the close of
market on the principal exchange on which they are traded.
8. 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 prices 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.
9. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are
considered unreliable, or whose values have been materially affected by
events occurring after the close of their primary markets but before
the pricing of the Fund, are valued in good faith at fair value, using
methods determined by the Manager in consultation with the Fund's
subadviser(s), if applicable, under 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.
Fair value methods used by the Manager include, but are not limited to,
obtaining market quotations from secondary pricing services,
================================================================================
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | 47
================================================================================
broker-dealers, or widely used quotation systems. General factors
considered in determining the fair value of securities include
fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of any
restrictions on disposition of the securities, and an evaluation of the
forces that influenced the market in which the securities are purchased
and sold.
B. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS - 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
three-level valuation hierarchy disclosed in the portfolio of investments
is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or
liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as
follows:
Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices
(unadjusted) in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology are other significant
observable inputs, including quoted prices for similar securities, inputs
that are observable for the securities, either directly or indirectly, and
market-corroborated inputs such as market indices. Level 2 securities
include bonds, which are valued based on methods discussed in Note 1A5.
Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and
significant to the fair value measurement, including the Manager's own
assumptions in determining the fair value.
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily
an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
C. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES - 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
================================================================================
48 | USAA GLOBAL MANAGED VOLATILITY FUND
================================================================================
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 trade. The Fund's derivative agreements held at
June 30, 2014 did not include master netting provisions.
FUTURES CONTRACTS - The Fund is subject to equity price risk, interest rate
risk, and foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of
pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may use futures contracts to
gain exposure to, or hedge against, changes in the value of equities,
interest rates, or foreign currencies. A futures contract represents a
commitment for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price
on a specified date. Upon entering into such contracts, the Fund is
required to deposit with the broker in either cash or securities an initial
margin in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount.
Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund
each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract,
and are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or
losses. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or
loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time
it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Upon entering into
such contracts, the Fund bears the risk of interest or exchange rates or
securities prices moving unexpectedly in an unfavorable direction, in which
case, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures
contracts.
OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS - 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, 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.
================================================================================
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | 49
================================================================================
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.

D. SECURITIES PURCHASED 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. During the period prior to
settlement, these securities do not earn interest, are subject to market
fluctuation, and may increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery.
The Fund receives a commitment fee for delayed draws on loans. The Fund
maintains segregated assets with a market value equal to or greater
================================================================================
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | 51
================================================================================
than the amount of its purchase commitments. The purchase of securities on
a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis and delayed-draw loan commitments
may increase the volatility of the Fund's NAV to the extent that the Fund
makes such purchases and commitments while remaining substantially fully
invested.
E. FEDERAL TAXES - The Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated
investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its income to
its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
F. INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES - Security transactions are accounted for on the
date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Gains or losses
from sales of investment securities are computed on the identified cost
basis. Dividend income, less foreign taxes, if any, is recorded on the
ex-dividend date. If the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends
from foreign securities are recorded upon notification. Interest income is
recorded daily on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums are amortized
over the life of the respective securities, using the effective yield
method for long-term securities and the straight-line method for short-term
securities.
G. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS - The Fund's assets may be invested in the
securities of foreign issuers and may be traded in foreign currency. Since
the Fund's accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars, foreign
currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following bases:
1. Purchases and sales of securities, income, and expenses at the exchange
rate obtained from an independent pricing service on the respective
dates of such transactions.
2. Market value of securities, other assets, and liabilities at the
exchange rate obtained from an independent pricing service on a daily
basis.
The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations
resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the
fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held.
Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or
loss from investments.
================================================================================
52 | USAA GLOBAL MANAGED VOLATILITY FUND
================================================================================
Separately, net realized foreign currency gains/losses may arise from sales
of foreign currency, currency gains/losses realized between the trade and
settlement dates on security transactions, and from the difference between
amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on
the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts received.
At the end of the Fund's fiscal year, these net realized foreign currency
gains/losses are reclassified from accumulated net realized gain/loss to
accumulated undistributed net investment income on the statement of assets
and liabilities as such amounts are treated as ordinary income/loss for tax
purposes. Net unrealized foreign currency exchange gains/losses arise from
changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in
securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.
H. EXPENSES PAID INDIRECTLY - A portion of the brokerage commissions that the
Fund pays may be recaptured as a credit that is tracked and used by the
custodian to directly reduce expenses paid by the Fund. In addition,
through arrangements with the Fund's custodian and other banks utilized by
the Fund for cash management purposes, realized credits, if any, generated
from cash balances in the Fund's bank accounts may be used to directly
reduce the Fund's expenses. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2014,
the Fund did not receive any brokerage commission recapture credits. For
the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, there were no custodian and other
bank credits.
I. INDEMNIFICATIONS - 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 Trust. In addition, in the normal course
of business, the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of
representations and warranties that provide general indemnifications. The
Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would
involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet
occurred. However, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.
J. USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts in the
financial statements.
================================================================================
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | 53
================================================================================
(2) LINE OF CREDIT
The Fund participates in a joint, short-term, revolving, committed loan
agreement of $500 million with USAA Capital Corporation (CAPCO), an affiliate of
the Manager. The purpose of the agreement is to meet temporary or emergency cash
needs, including redemption requests that might otherwise require the untimely
disposition of securities. Subject to availability, the Fund may borrow from
CAPCO an amount up to 5% of the Fund's total assets at an interest rate based on
the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR).
The USAA Funds that are party to the loan agreement are assessed facility fees
by CAPCO in the amount of 7.0 basis points of the amount of the committed loan
agreement. The facility fees are allocated among the Funds based on their
respective average net assets for the period.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, the Fund paid CAPCO facility fees
of $1,000, which represents 0.5% of the total fees paid to CAPCO by the USAA
Funds. The Fund had no borrowings under this agreement during the six-month
period ended June 30, 2014.
(3) DISTRIBUTIONS
The tax basis of distributions and accumulated undistributed net investment
income will be determined based upon the Fund's tax year-end of December 31,
2014, in accordance with applicable tax law.
Distributions of realized gains from security transactions not offset by capital
losses are made annually in the succeeding fiscal year or as otherwise required
to avoid the payment of federal taxes.
The Fund is permitted to carry forward net capital losses indefinitely.
Additionally, such capital losses that are carried forward will retain their
character as short-term and/or long-term capital losses. Post-enactment capital
loss carryforwards must be used before pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards.
As a result, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to
expire unused.
At December 31, 2013, the Fund had no pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards
and post-enactment capital loss carryforwards of $10,262,000, for federal income
tax purposes. It is unlikely that the Board will authorize a
================================================================================
54 | USAA GLOBAL MANAGED VOLATILITY FUND
================================================================================
distribution of capital gains realized in the future until the capital loss
carryforwards have been used or expire.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, the Fund did not incur any income
tax, interest, or penalties, and has recorded no liability for net unrecognized
tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions. On an ongoing basis the
Manager will monitor its tax positions to determine if adustments to this
conclusion are necessary. The statute of limitations on the Fund's tax return
filings generally remains open for the three preceeding fiscal reporting year
ends and remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state
taxing authorities.
(4) INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Cost of purchases and proceeds from sales/maturities of securities, excluding
short-term securities, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, were
$132,879,000 and $187,024,000, respectively.
As of June 30, 2014, the cost of securities, including short-term securities,
for federal income tax purposes, was approximately the same as that reported in
the financial statements.
Gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments as of June 30,
2014, were $59,996,000 and $5,534,000, respectively, resulting in net unrealized
appreciation of $54,462,000.

(6) TRANSACTIONS WITH MANAGER
A. MANAGEMENT FEES - The Manager provides investment management services to
the Fund pursuant to an Advisory Agreement. Under this agreement, the
Manager is responsible for managing the business and affairs of the Fund,
and for directly managing the day-to-day investment of a portion of the
Fund's assets, subject to the authority of and supervision by the Board.
The Manager also is authorized to select (with approval of the Board and
without shareholder approval) one or more
================================================================================
56 | USAA GLOBAL MANAGED VOLATILITY FUND
================================================================================
subadvisers to manage the actual day-to-day investment of a portion of the
Fund's assets.
The Manager monitors each subadviser's performance through quantitative and
qualitative analysis and periodically reports to the Board as to whether
each subadviser's agreement should be renewed, terminated, or modified. The
Manager also is responsible for allocating assets to the subadviser(s). The
allocation for each subadviser could range from 0% to 100% of the Fund's
assets, and the Manager could change the allocations without shareholder
approval.
The Fund's management fees are accrued daily and paid monthly at an
annualized rate of 0.60% of the Fund's average net assets for the fiscal
year. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, the Fund incurred total
management fees, paid or payable to the Manager, of $988,000.
B. SUBADVISORY ARRANGEMENT(S) - The Manager has entered into investment
subadvisory agreements with Quantitative Management Associates, LLC (QMA)
and QS Investors, LLC (QS), under which each subadviser provides day-to-day
discretionary management of a portion of the Fund's assets in accordance
with the Fund's investment objectives, policies, and restrictions, subject
to the general supervision of the Board and the Manager.
The Manager (not the Fund) pays QMA a subadvisory fee in the annual amount
of 0.25% of the portion of the Fund's average net assets that QMA manages.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, the Manager incurred
subadvisory fees, paid or payable to QMA, of $70,000.
The Manager (not the Fund) pays QS a subadvisory fee in an annual amount of
0.15% of the portion of the Fund's average net assets that QS manages. For
the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, the Manager incurred subadvisory
fees, paid or payable to QS, of $92,000.
C. ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING FEES - The Manager provides certain
administration and servicing functions for the Fund. For such services, the
Manager receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate
of 0.15% of average net assets of the Fund Shares, and
================================================================================
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | 57
================================================================================
0.05% of average net assets of the Institutional Shares. For the six-month
period ended June 30, 2014, the Fund Shares and Institutional Shares
incurred administration and servicing fees, paid or payable to the Manager,
of $10,000 and $79,000, respectively.
In addition to the services provided under its Administration and Servicing
Agreement with the Fund, the Manager also provides certain compliance and
legal services for the benefit of the Fund. The Board has approved the
reimbursement of a portion of these expenses incurred by the Manager. For
the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, the Fund reimbursed the Manager
$4,000 for these compliance and legal services. These expenses are
included in the professional fees on the Fund's statement of operations.
D. EXPENSE LIMITATION - The Manager voluntarily agreed, through May 1, 2015,
to limit the total annual operating expenses of the Fund Shares to 1.10% of
its average net assets, excluding extraordinary expenses, and before
reductions of any expenses paid indirectly, and will reimburse the Fund for
all expenses in excess of that amount. This expense limitation arrangement
may not be changed or terminated through May 1, 2015, without approval of
the Board, and may be changed or terminated by the Manager at any time
after that date. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, the Fund
incurred reimbursable expenses of $17,000, of which $4,000 was receivable
from the Manager.
E. TRANSFER AGENT'S FEES - USAA Transfer Agency Company, d/b/a USAA
Shareholder Account Services (SAS), an affiliate of the Manager, provides
transfer agent services to the Fund. Transfer agent's fees for Fund Shares
are paid monthly based on an annual charge of $23.00 per shareholder
account plus out-of-pocket expenses. SAS 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 are paid monthly based on a fee accrued daily at an
annualized rate of 0.05% of the Institutional Shares' average net assets,
plus out-of-pocket expenses. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2014,
the Fund Shares and Institutional Shares incurred transfer agent's fees,
paid or payable to SAS, of $4,000 and $79,000, respectively.
================================================================================
58 | USAA GLOBAL MANAGED VOLATILITY FUND
================================================================================
F. UNDERWRITING SERVICES - USAA Investment Management Company provides
exclusive underwriting and distribution of the Fund's shares on a
continuing best-efforts basis and receives no commissions or fees for this
service.
(7) TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Certain trustees and officers of the Fund are also directors, officers, and/or
employees of the Manager. None of the affiliated trustees or Fund officers
received any compensation from the Fund.
The Manager is indirectly wholly owned by United Services Automobile Association
(USAA), a large, diversified financial services institution. At June 30, 2014,
USAA and its affiliates owned 478,000 Fund Shares, which represents 36.4% of the
Fund Shares, and 1.7% of the Fund.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE
June 30, 2014 (unaudited)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXAMPLE
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: direct costs, such
as wire fees, redemption fees, and low balance fees; and indirect costs,
including management fees, transfer agency fees, and other Fund operating
expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your indirect costs,
also referred to as "ongoing costs" (in dollars), of investing in the Fund and
to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual
funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the
period and held for the entire six-month period of January 1, 2014, through June
30, 2014.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The line labeled "actual" under each share class in the table on the next page
provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may
use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested at the
beginning of the period, 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 for your share
class in the "actual" line under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period" to
estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The line labeled "hypothetical" under each share class in the table provides
information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on
the Fund's actual expense ratios for each class and an assumed rate of return of
5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return.
================================================================================
62 | USAA GLOBAL MANAGED VOLATILITY FUND
================================================================================
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 the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other
funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical
examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your
ongoing costs only and do not reflect any direct costs, such as wire fees,
redemption fees, or low balance fees. Therefore, the line labeled "hypothetical"
is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the
relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these direct
costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

the six-month period of January 1, 2014, through June 30, 2014.

ADVISORY AGREEMENT(S)
June 30, 2014 (unaudited)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At an in-person meeting of the Board of Trustees (the Board) held on April 30,
2014, the Board, including the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the
Trust (the Independent Trustees), approved for an annual period the continuance
of the Advisory Agreement between the Trust and the Manager with respect to the
Fund and the Subadvisory Agreements between the Manager and the Subadvisers with
respect to the Fund.
In advance of the meeting, the Trustees received and considered a variety of
information relating to the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreements and
the Manager and each Subadviser, and were given the opportunity to ask questions
and request additional information from management. The information provided to
the Board included, among other things: (i) a separate report prepared by an
independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the
Fund's investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable investment
companies; (ii) information concerning the services rendered to the Fund, as
well as information regarding the Manager's revenues and costs of providing
services to the Fund and compensation paid to affiliates of the Manager; and
(iii) information about the Manager's and Subadvisers' operations and personnel.
Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees reviewed the proposed continuance of
the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreements with management and with
experienced independent counsel and received materials from such counsel
discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed
continuation of the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreements with respect
to the Fund. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the proposed continuation of
the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements with respect to the Fund
in private sessions with their counsel at which no representatives of management
were present.
At each regularly scheduled meeting of the Board and its committees, the Board
receives and reviews, among other things, information concerning the Fund's
performance and related services provided by the Manager and each Subadviser. At
the meeting at which the renewal of the Advisory Agreement
================================================================================
64 | USAA GLOBAL MANAGED VOLATILITY FUND
================================================================================
and Subadvisory Agreements is considered, particular focus is given to
information concerning Fund performance, comparability of fees and total
expenses, and profitability. However, the Board noted that the evaluation
process with respect to the Manager and each Subadviser is an ongoing one. In
this regard, the Board's and its committees' consideration of the Advisory
Agreement and Subadvisory Agreements included certain information previously
received at such meetings.
ADVISORY AGREEMENT
After full consideration of a variety of factors, the Board, including the
Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Advisory Agreement. In approving the
Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as
controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to various
factors. Throughout their deliberations, the Independent Trustees were
represented and assisted by independent counsel.
NATURE, EXTENT, AND QUALITY OF SERVICES - In considering the nature, extent, and
quality of the services provided by the Manager under the Advisory Agreement,
the Board reviewed information provided by the Manager relating to its
operations and personnel. The Board also took into account its knowledge of the
Manager's management and the quality of the performance of the Manager's duties
through Board meetings, discussions, and reports during the preceding year. The
Board considered the fees paid to the Manager and the services provided to the
Fund by the Manager under the Advisory Agreement, as well as other services
provided by the Manager and its affiliates under other agreements, and the
personnel who provide these services. In addition to the investment advisory
services provided to the Fund, the Manager and its affiliates provide
administrative services, stockholder services, oversight of Fund accounting,
marketing services, assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, and
other services necessary for the operation of the Fund and the Trust.
The Board considered the Manager's management style and the performance of the
Manager's duties under the Advisory Agreement. The Board considered the level
and depth of knowledge of the Manager, including the professional experience and
qualifications of its senior and investment personnel, as well as current
staffing levels. The Board discussed the Manager's effectiveness in
================================================================================
ADVISORY AGREEMENT(S) | 65
================================================================================
monitoring the performance of each Subadviser and its timeliness in responding
to performance issues. The allocation of the Fund's brokerage, including the
Manager's process for monitoring "best execution," also was considered. The
Manager's role in coordinating the activities of the Fund's other service
providers was also considered. The Board also considered the Manager's risk
management processes. The Board considered the Manager's financial condition and
that it had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide the same scope and
high quality of services under the Advisory Agreement. In reviewing the Advisory
Agreement, the Board focused on the experience, resources, and strengths of the
Manager and its affiliates in managing the Fund, as well as the other funds in
the Trust.
The Board also reviewed the compliance and administrative services provided to
the Fund by the Manager, including the Manager's oversight of the Fund's
day-to-day operations and oversight of Fund accounting. The Trustees, guided
also by information obtained from their experiences as trustees of the Trust,
also focused on the quality of the Manager's compliance and administrative
staff.
EXPENSES AND PERFORMANCE - In connection with its consideration of the Advisory
Agreement, the Board evaluated the Fund's advisory fees and total expense ratio
as compared to other open-end investment companies deemed to be comparable to
the Fund as determined by the independent third party in its report. The Fund's
expenses were compared to (i) a group of investment companies chosen by the
independent third party to be comparable to the Fund based upon certain factors,
including fund type, comparability of investment objective and classification,
sales load type (in this case, institutional investment companies), asset size,
and expense components (the "expense group") and (ii) a larger group of
investment companies that includes institutional investment companies in the
same investment classification/objective as the Fund regardless of asset size,
excluding outliers (the "expense universe"). Among other data, the Board noted
that the Fund's management fee rate - which includes advisory and administrative
services - was below the median of its expense group and its expense universe.
The data indicated that the Fund's total expenses were below the median of its
expense group and its expense universe. The Board took into account the various
services provided to the Fund by the Manager and its affiliates, including the
high quality of services received by the Fund from the Manager. The Board also
noted the level and method of
================================================================================
66 | USAA GLOBAL MANAGED VOLATILITY FUND
================================================================================
computing the management fee. The Board also took into account that the
subadvisory fees under the Subadvisory Agreements are paid by the Manager. The
Board also considered and discussed information about the Subadvisers' fees,
including the amount of management fees retained by the Manager after payment of
the subadvisory fees.
In considering the Fund's performance, the Board noted that it reviews at its
regularly scheduled meetings information about the Fund's performance results.
The Trustees also reviewed various comparative data provided to them in
connection with their consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Agreement,
including, among other information, a comparison of the Fund's average annual
total return with its Lipper index and with that of other mutual funds deemed to
be in its peer group by the independent third party in its report (the
"performance universe"). The Fund's performance universe consisted of the Fund
and all retail and institutional open-end investment companies with the same
classification/objective as the Fund regardless of asset size or primary channel
of distribution. This comparison indicated that, among other data, the Fund's
performance was above the average of its performance universe and lower than its
Lipper index for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2013, and
was lower than the average of its performance universe and its Lipper index for
the five-year period ended December 31, 2013. The Board also noted that the
Fund's percentile performance ranking was in the top 40% of its performance
universe for the one-year period ended December 31, 2013 and was in the bottom
50% of its performance universe for the three- and five-year periods ended
December 31, 2013. The Board took into account management's discussion of the
Fund's performance and recent steps taken by management to address the Fund's
performance.
COMPENSATION AND PROFITABILITY - The Board took into consideration the level and
method of computing the management fee. The information considered by the Board
included operating profit margin information for the Manager's business as a
whole. The Board also received and considered profitability information related
to the management revenues from the Fund. This information included a review of
the methodology used in the allocation of certain costs to the Fund. The
Trustees reviewed the profitability of the Manager's relationship with the Fund
before tax expenses. In considering the profitability data with respect to the
Fund, the Trustees noted that the
================================================================================
ADVISORY AGREEMENT(S) | 67
================================================================================
Manager pays the subadvisory fees. In reviewing the overall profitability of the
management fee to the Manager, the Board also considered the fact that
affiliates provide shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Fund
for which they receive compensation. The Board also considered the possible
direct and indirect benefits to the Manager from its relationship with the
Trust, including that the Manager may derive reputational and other benefits
from its association with the Fund. The Trustees recognized that the Manager
should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits in exchange for the
level of services it provides to the Fund and the entrepreneurial risk that it
assumes as Manager.
ECONOMIES OF SCALE - The Board considered whether there should be changes in the
management fee rate or structure in order to enable the Fund to participate in
any economies of scale. The Board took into account management's discussion of
the Fund's current advisory fee structure. The Board also considered the effect
of the Fund's growth and size on its performance and fees, noting that if the
Fund's assets increase over time, the Fund may realize other economies of scale
if assets increase proportionally more than some expenses. The Board determined
that the current investment management fee structure was reasonable.
CONCLUSIONS - The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Fund's
Advisory Agreement with the Manager, among others: (i) the Manager has
demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the
duties required of it under the Advisory Agreement; (ii) the Manager maintains
an appropriate compliance program; (iii) the performance of the Fund is being
addressed; (iv) the Fund's advisory expenses are reasonable in relation to those
of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Manager; and (v) the
Manager's and its affiliates' level of profitability from their relationship
with the Fund is reasonable. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that
continuation of the Advisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the
Fund and its shareholders.
SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS
In approving each Subadvisory Agreement with respect to the Fund, the Board
considered various factors, among them: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of
services provided to the Fund by the respective Subadviser, including the
================================================================================
68 | USAA GLOBAL MANAGED VOLATILITY FUND
================================================================================
personnel providing services; (ii) each Subadviser's compensation and any other
benefits derived from the subadvisory relationship; (iii) comparisons, to the
extent applicable, of subadvisory fees and performance to comparable investment
companies; and (iv) the terms of each Subadvisory Agreement. The Board's
analysis of these factors is set forth below.
After full consideration of a variety of factors, the Board including the
Independent Trustees, voted to approve each Subadvisory Agreement. In approving
each Subadvisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as
controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to various
factors. Throughout their deliberations, the Independent Trustees were
represented and assisted by independent counsel.
NATURE, EXTENT, AND QUALITY OF SERVICES PROVIDED; INVESTMENT PERSONNEL - The
Board considered information provided to it regarding the services provided by
each Subadviser, including information presented periodically throughout the
previous year. The Board considered each Subadviser's level of knowledge and
investment style. The Board reviewed the experience and credentials of the
investment personnel who would be responsible for managing the investment of
portfolio securities with respect to the Fund and each Subadviser's level of
staffing. The Board noted that the materials provided to it by each Subadviser
indicated that the method of compensating portfolio managers is reasonable and
includes appropriate mechanisms to prevent a manager with underperformance from
taking undue risks. The Board also noted each Subadviser's brokerage practices.
The Board also considered each Subadviser's regulatory and compliance history.
The Board also took into account each Subadviser's risk management processes.
The Board noted that the Manager's monitoring processes of the Subadvisers would
include: (i) regular telephonic meetings to discuss, among other matters,
investment strategies, and to review portfolio performance; (ii) monthly
portfolio compliance checklists and quarterly compliance certifications to the
Board; and (iii) due diligence reviews of each Subadviser.
SUBADVISER COMPENSATION - The Board also took into consideration the financial
condition of each Subadviser. In considering the cost of services to be provided
by each Subadviser and the profitability to each Subadviser of its relationship
with the Fund, the Board noted that the fees under the Subadvisory Agreements
were paid by the Manager. The Board also relied
================================================================================
ADVISORY AGREEMENT(S) | 69
================================================================================
on the ability of the Manager to negotiate the Subadvisory Agreements and the
fees thereunder at arm's length. For the above reasons, the Board determined
that the profitability of each Subadviser from its relationship with the Fund
was not a material factor in its deliberations with respect to the consideration
of the approval of the Subadvisory Agreement. For similar reasons, the Board
concluded that the potential for economies of scale in each Subadviser's
management of the Fund was not a material factor in considering the Subadvisory
Agreement.
SUBADVISORY FEES AND FUND PERFORMANCE - The Board compared the subadvisory fees
for the Fund with the fees each Subadviser charges to comparable clients, as
applicable. The Board considered that the Fund pays a management fee to the
Manager and that, in turn, the Manager pays a subadvisory fee to each
Subadviser. As noted above, the Board considered the Fund's performance during
the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2013, as compared to
the Fund's peer group and noted that the Board reviews at its regularly
scheduled meetings information about the Fund's performance results. The Board
also considered the performance of each Subadviser. The Board noted the
Manager's expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment
style, and risk-adjusted performance of each Subadviser. The Board was mindful
of the Manager's focus on each Subadviser's performance and the explanations of
management regarding the performance of the Fund. The Board also noted each
Subadviser's long-term performance record for similar accounts, as applicable.
CONCLUSIONS - The Board reached the following conclusions regarding each
Subadvisory Agreement, among others: (i) each Subadviser is qualified to manage
a portion of the Fund's assets in accordance with its investment objectives and
policies; (ii) each Subadviser maintains an appropriate compliance program;
(iii) the performance of the Fund is being addressed; and (iv) the Fund's
advisory expenses are reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to
the services to be provided by the Manager and each Subadviser. Based on its
conclusions, the Board determined that approval of each Subadvisory Agreement
with respect to the Fund would be in the best interests of the Fund and its
shareholders.
