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 tax rate. However, you may elect not to have withholding apply or to have income tax withheld at a higher rate. Any withholding election that you make will apply to any subsequent distribution unless and until you change or revoke the election. If you wish to make a withholding election, or change or revoke a prior withholding election, call (800) 235-8396.

If you do not have a withholding election in place by the date of a distribution, federal income tax will be withheld from the taxable portion of your distribution at a rate of 10%. 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 withheld from your distribution.

For more specific information, please consult your tax adviser.

Portfolio Ratings Mix:

September 30, 2020

(% 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 prerefunded and escrowed-to-maturity municipal bonds that are not rated are treated as AAA for credit quality purposes.

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

**  For the period beginning July 1, 2019, the amount of any waivers or reimbursements and the amount of any recoupment is calculated without regard to the impact of any performance adjustment to the Fund's management fee.

^  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)  Not annualized for periods less than one year.

(b)  Annualized for periods less than one year.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2020
 

  (Unaudited)

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 California Bond Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers three classes of shares: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares and Class A shares. The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.

Effective June 29, 2020, the Fund's Institutional Shares commenced operations and the Adviser Shares were redesignated Class A shares and became subject to a front-end sales charge.

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.

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 generally accepted accounting principles 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.

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

USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements — continued
September 30, 2020
 

  (Unaudited)

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 are typically categorized as Level 2 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 are typically 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 September 30, 2020, 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 six months ended September 30, 2020, there were no transfers in or out of the Level 3 fair value hierarchy.

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 NAV. 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 on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments.

Municipal Obligations:

The values of municipal obligations can fluctuate and may be affected by adverse tax, legislative, or political changes, and by financial developments affecting municipal issuers. Payment of municipal obligations may depend on a relatively limited source of revenue, resulting in greater credit risk. Future changes in federal tax laws or the activity of an issuer may adversely affect the tax-exempt status of municipal obligations.

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.

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 March 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 years, which includes the current fiscal tax year end). 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, 12b-1 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. For the six months ended September 30, 2020, the Fund engaged in the following securities transactions with affiliated funds, which resulted in the following net realized gains (losses) (amounts in thousands):

Fees Paid Indirectly:

3. Purchases and Sales:

4. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties:

Investment Advisory Fees:

Investment advisory services are provided to the Fund by Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or 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 rates of 0.50% of the first $50 million of the Fund's average daily net assets, 0.40% of that portion of average daily net assets over $50 million but not over $100 million, and 0.30% of that portion of the Fund's average daily net assets over $100 million. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Investment Advisory fees.

Effective July 1, 2019, no performance adjustments were made for the periods beginning July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020. Only performance beginning as of July 1, 2019, and thereafter is utilized in calculating future performance adjustments.

The performance adjustment for each share class is accrued daily and calculated monthly by comparing each class' performance to that of the Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds Index. The Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds Index tracks the total return performance of funds within the Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds category.

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 Lipper 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 the 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 California Municipal Debt Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.

For the period July 1, 2020, to September 30, 2020, performance adjustments for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A shares were $93, less than $1, and $1 thousand, respectively. For the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A shares, the performance adjustments were 0.02%, less than 0.01%, and 0.02% of average daily net assets, respectively.

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. Under a manager-of-managers structure, the investment adviser may select (with approval of the Board and without

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 of the Fund Shares, and Class A shares, 0.10% of average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares, respectively.

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. Amounts incurred for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Compliance fees.

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.

For the six months ended September 30, 2020, the Distributor didn't receive any commissions.

Other Fees:

Citibank serves as the Fund's custodian.

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

The Adviser has entered into an expense limitation agreement with the Fund until at least July 31, 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. As of September 30, 2020, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) are 0.54%, 0.50%, and 0.80% for the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A 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 September 30, 2020, the following amounts were available to be repaid to the Adviser (amounts in thousands). The Fund has not recorded any amounts available to be repaid as a liability due to an assessment that such repayment is not probable at September 30, 2020.

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 six months ended September 30, 2020.

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.

Global economies and financial markets are increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibilities that conditions in one country or region might adversely affect issuers in another country or region. Geopolitical and other risks, including war, terrorism, trade disputes, political or economic dysfunction within some nations, public health crises and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods, may add to instability in world economies and markets generally. Changes in trade policies and international trade agreements could affect the economies of many countries in unpredictable ways. Epidemics and/or pandemics, such as the coronavirus (or COVID-19), may result in, among other things, closing borders, disruptions to healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and consumer activity, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The impact may be short-term or may last for extended periods.

The COVID-19 pandemic, which has spread rapidly across the world, has led and will continue to lead for an unknown period of time to disruptions in local, regional, national and global markets and economies. Among other things, the outbreak has resulted in, and until fully resolved is likely to continue to result in, among other things (1) government imposition of various forms of "stay at home" orders and the closing of "non-essential" businesses, resulting in significant disruption to the businesses of many issuers as well as lay-offs of employees: (2) increased requests by issuers of debt instruments for


23


USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements — continued
September 30, 2020
 

  (Unaudited)

amendments and waivers of agreements to avoid default and increased defaults: (3) volatility and disruption of markets, including greater volatility in pricing and spreads; and (4) rapidly evolving proposals and/or actions by state and federal governments to address problems being experienced by the markets and by businesses and the economy in general.

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.

The value of a debt security or other income-producing security changes in response to various factors, including, for example, market-related factors (such as changes in interest rates or changes in the risk appetite of investors generally) and changes in the actual or perceived ability of the issuer (or of issuers generally) to meet its (or their) obligations.

Other factors that may affect the value of debt securities, include, among others, public health crises and responses by governments and companies to such crises. These and other events may affect the creditworthiness of the issuer of a debt security and may impair an issuers ability to timely meet its debt obligations as they come due.

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 tax-exempt 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; conversely, when interest rates fall, bond prices rise. The price volatility of a bond also depends on its duration. Generally, the longer the duration of a bond, the greater is its sensitivity to interest rates. To compensate investors for this higher interest rate risk, bonds with longer durations generally offer higher yields than bonds with shorter durations. The ability of an issuer of a debt security to repay principal prior to a security's maturity can increase the security's sensitivity to interest rate changes.

Decisions by the U.S. Federal Reserve (also known as the "Fed") regarding interest rate and monetary policy, which can be difficult to predict and sometimes change direction suddenly in response to economic and market events, can have a significant effect on the value of fixed-income securities as well as the overall strength of the U.S. economy. Precise interest rate predictions are difficult to make, and interest rates may change unexpectedly and dramatically in response to extreme changes in market or economic conditions. As a result, the value of fixed-income securities may vary widely under certain market conditions.

6. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:

Line of Credit:

For the six months ended September 30, 2020, the Victory Funds Complex participated in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 29, 2020, with a termination date of June 28, 2021. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex may 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, (herein, the "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. For the six months ended September 30, 2020, Citibank received 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. Effective June 29, 2020, under an amended Line of Credit agreement, Citibank will also receive an annual upfront fee of 0.10% on the $300 million committed line of credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex will pay a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee.

  (Unaudited)

Interest charged to each Fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Line of credit fees.

The Fund had no borrowings under the Line of Credit agreement during the six months ended September 30, 2020.

Interfund Lending:

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 Funds 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, if any, during the period is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Interfund lending fees. As a Lender, interest earned by the Fund, if any, 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 six months ended September 30, 2020.

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

The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (deficit) will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending March 31, 2021.

During the most recent tax year ended March 31, 2020, the Fund had net capital loss carryforwards as shown in the table below (amounts in thousands). It is unlikely that the Board will authorize a distribution of capital gains realized in the future until the capital loss carryforwards have been used.

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information

Proxy Voting:

Information regarding the policies and procedures the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling (800) 539-3863. The information is also included in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Information relating to how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent 12 months ended June 30 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments:

The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. Forms N-PORT are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Expense Examples

As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases; 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 April 1, 2020, through September 30, 2020 (unless noted otherwise).

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.

Liquidity Risk Management Program:

The USAA Mutual Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the "LRMP") as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration the Fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions; its short and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other liquidity management tools such as available funding sources including the Victory Funds Complex Interfund Lending Facility and Line of Credit (discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements). The USAA Mutual Funds' Board of Trustees approved the appointment of the Fund's investment adviser, Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital"), as the administrator of the LRMP. At an in-person meeting held on February 26, 2020, Victory Capital provided an oral and written report to the Trustees on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP during the previous year.

Victory Capital manages liquidity risks associated with the Fund's investments by monitoring, among other things, cash and cash equivalents, any use of derivatives, the concentration of investments, the appropriateness of the Fund's investment strategy, and by classifying every fund investment as either highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid or illiquid on at least a monthly basis. To assist with the classification of Fund investments, Victory Capital has retained a third-party provider of liquidity evaluation services. This provider determines preliminary liquidity classifications for all portfolio holdings based upon portfolio-level data and certain assumptions provided by Victory Capital. Victory Capital reviews the preliminary liquidity classifications, and, when appropriate, considers other information including input from the Fund's portfolio managers (including the portfolio managers employed by any investment sub-advisers) in determining final liquidity classifications.

The report from Victory Capital concluded that the Fund did not experience any significant liquidity challenges during the covered period, and the Fund's LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage its liquidity risk. The report also concluded that the LRMP continues to operate adequately and effectively to enable Victory Capital to oversee and manage liquidity risk and ensure the Fund is able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution to the remaining investors' interest in the Fund. During the review period, the Fund's portfolio consisted primarily of highly liquid investments, which are defined as cash and any investments reasonably expected to be converted to cash in current market conditions in three business days or less without significantly changing the market value of the investment. Therefore, the Fund has not adopted a Highly Liquid Investment Minimum. The Fund's investments were below the limitation on illiquid investments during the review period. Additionally, Victory Capital indicated that no events occurred that would require the filing of Form N-LIQUID and recommended no material changes to the LRMP.

*  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.

**  For the period beginning July 1, 2019, the amount of any waivers or reimbursements and the amount of any recoupment is calculated without regard to the impact of any performance adjustment to the Fund's management fee.

^  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)  Not annualized for periods less than one year.

(b)  Annualized for periods less than one year.

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

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

  Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2020
 

  (Unaudited)

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 Equity Income 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.

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 generally accepted accounting principles 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.

The Adviser has established the Pricing and Liquidity Committee (the "Committee"), and subject to the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "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 at the Nasdaq 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

  (Unaudited)

available bid quotation on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value ("NAV"). These valuations are typically 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 are typically 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 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 NAV 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 September 30, 2020, 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:

Exchange-Traded Funds:

The Fund may invest in ETFs, 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. A 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.

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 has 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 on the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio of 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 September 30, 2020.

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 March 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 years, which includes the current fiscal tax year end). 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 six months ended September 30, 2020, were as follows for the Fund (amounts in thousands):

4. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties:

Investment Advisory Fees:

Investment advisory services are provided to the Fund by Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or 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 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Investment Advisory fees.

  (Unaudited)

Effective July 1, 2019, no performance adjustments were made for the periods beginning July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020. Only performance beginning as of July 1, 2019, and thereafter is utilized in calculating future performance adjustments.

The performance adjustment for each share class is accrued daily and calculated monthly by comparing each class' performance to that of the Lipper Global Equity Income Funds Index. The Lipper Global Equity Income Funds Index tracks the total return performance of funds within the Lipper Global Equity Income Funds category.

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)
 

+/- 100 to 400

   

+/- 4

   

+/- 401 to 700

   

+/- 5

   

+/- 701 and greater

   

+/- 6

   

(a) Based on the difference between average annual performance of the relevant share class of the Fund and its relevant Lipper 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 the 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 Global Equity Income Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.

For the period July 1, 2020, to September 30, 2020, performance adjustments for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares were $8 and $1 thousand, respectively. For both Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, the performance adjustments were 0.02% of average daily net assets.

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. 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 six months ended September 30, 2020, the Fund had no subadvisers.

Administration and Servicing Fees:

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% and 0.10% of average daily net assets of the Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, respectively. Amounts incurred for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Administration fees.

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.

Complex") in the aggregate, compensates the Adviser for these services. Amounts incurred for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Compliance fees.

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 Fund 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. Amounts incurred for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Sub-Administration fees.

Transfer Agency Fees:

Victory Capital Transfer Agency, Inc. ("VCTA"), 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 Institutional Shares are paid monthly based on a fee accrued daily at an annualized rate of 0.10% of average daily net assets, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Transfer Agent fees.

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. VCTA provides FIS Investor Services LLC a fee for providing these services.

Distributor/Underwriting Services:

Victory Capital Services, 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. Effective June 30, 2020, the Distributor's name was changed from Victory Capital Advisers, Inc.

Other Fees:

Citibank serves as the Fund's custodian.

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

The Adviser has entered into an expense limitation agreement with the Fund until at least July 31, 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. As of September 30, 2020, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) are 1.00% and 0.90% for the Fund Shares and Institutional 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 September 30, 2020, the following amounts were available to be repaid to the Adviser (amounts in thousands). The Fund has not recorded any amounts available to be repaid as a liability due to an assessment that such repayment is not probable at September 30, 2020.

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 six months ended September 30, 2020.

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.

Global economies and financial markets are increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibilities that conditions in one country or region might adversely affect issuers in another country or region. Geopolitical and other risks, including war, terrorism, trade disputes, political or economic dysfunction within some nations, public health crises and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods, may add to instability in world economies and markets generally. Changes in trade policies and international trade agreements could affect the economies of many countries in unpredictable ways. Epidemics and/or pandemics, such as the coronavirus (or COVID-19), may result in, among other things, closing borders, disruptions to healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and consumer activity, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The impact may be short-term or may last for extended periods.

The COVID-19 pandemic, which has spread rapidly across the world, has led and will continue to lead for an unknown period of time to disruptions in local, regional, national and global markets and economies. Among other things, the outbreak has resulted in, and until fully resolved is likely to continue to result in, among other things (1) government imposition of various forms of "stay at home" orders and the closing of "non-essential" businesses, resulting in significant disruption to the businesses of many issuers as well as lay-offs of employees: (2) increased requests by issuers of debt instruments for amendments and waivers of agreements to avoid default and increased defaults: (3) volatility and disruption of markets, including greater volatility in pricing and spreads; and (4) rapidly evolving proposals and/or actions by state and federal governments to address problems being experienced by the markets and by businesses and the economy in general.

Overall stock market risks may affect the value of the Fund. Domestic and international factors such as political events, war, trade disputes, interest rate levels and other fiscal and monetary policy changes, pandemics and other public health crises, and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods, may add to instability in world economies and markets generally. The impact of these and other factors may be short-term or may last for extended periods.

The value of the equity securities in which the Fund invests may decline in response to developments affecting individual companies and/or general economic conditions. A company's earnings or dividends may not increase as expected due to poor management decisions, competitive pressures, breakthroughs in technology, reliance on suppliers, labor problems or shortages, corporate restructurings, fraudulent disclosures, natural disasters, military confrontations, war, terrorism, public health crises, or other events, conditions, and factors. Price changes may be temporary or last for extended periods.

Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market.

6. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:

Line of Credit:

For the six months ended September 30, 2020, the Victory Funds Complex participated in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 29, 2020, with a termination date of June 28, 2021. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex may 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 (herein, the "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. For the six months ended September 30, 2020, Citibank received 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. Effective June 29, 2020, under an amended Line of Credit agreement, Citibank will also receive an annual upfront fee of 0.10% on the $300 million committed line of credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex will pay a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Interest charged to each Fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Line of credit fees.

The Fund had no borrowings under the Line of Credit agreement during the six months ended September 30, 2020.

Interfund Lending:

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 Funds 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, if any, during the period is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Interfund lending fees. As a Lender, interest earned by the Fund, if any, 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 six months ended September 30, 2020.

7. Federal Income Tax Information:

The Fund intends to declare and 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 tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (deficit) will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending March 31, 2021.

At March 31, 2020, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards, for federal income tax purposes.

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information

Proxy Voting:

Information regarding the policies and procedures the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling (800) 539-3863. The information is also included in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Information relating to how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent 12 months ended June 30 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments:

The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. Forms N-PORT are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Expense Examples

As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases; 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 April 1, 2020, through September 30, 2020.

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.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The USAA Mutual Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the "LRMP") as required by Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act as amended. The LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration the Fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions; its short and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other liquidity management tools such as available funding sources including the Victory Funds Complex Interfund Lending Facility and Line of Credit (discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements). The USAA Mutual Funds' Board of Trustees approved the appointment of the Fund's investment adviser, Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital"), as the administrator of the LRMP. At an in-person meeting held on February 26, 2020, Victory Capital provided an oral and written report to the Trustees on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP during the previous year.

Victory Capital manages liquidity risks associated with the Fund's investments by monitoring, among other things, cash and cash equivalents, any use of derivatives, the concentration of investments, the appropriateness of the Fund's investment strategy, and by classifying every fund investment as either highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid or illiquid on at least a monthly basis. To assist with the classification of Fund investments, Victory Capital has retained a third-party provider of liquidity evaluation services. This provider determines preliminary liquidity classifications for all portfolio holdings based upon portfolio-level data and certain assumptions provided by Victory Capital. Victory Capital reviews the preliminary liquidity classifications, and, when appropriate, considers other information including input from the Fund's portfolio managers (including the portfolio managers employed by any investment sub-advisers) in determining final liquidity classifications.

The report from Victory Capital concluded that the Fund did not experience any significant liquidity challenges during the covered period, and the Fund's LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage its liquidity risk. The report also concluded that the LRMP continues to operate adequately and effectively to enable Victory Capital to oversee and manage liquidity risk and ensure the Fund is able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution to the remaining investors' interest in the Fund. During the review period, the Fund's portfolio consisted primarily of highly liquid investments, which are defined as cash and any investments reasonably expected to be converted to cash in current market conditions in three business days or less without significantly changing the market value of the investment. Therefore, the Fund has not adopted a Highly Liquid Investment Minimum. The Fund's investments were below the limitation on illiquid investments during the review period. Additionally, Victory Capital indicated that no events occurred that would require the filing of Form N-LIQUID and recommended no material changes to the LRMP.

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 tax rate. However, you may elect not to have withholding apply or to have income tax withheld at a higher rate. Any withholding election that you make will apply to any subsequent distribution unless and until you change or revoke the election. If you wish to make a withholding election, or change or revoke a prior withholding election, call (800) 235-8396.

If you do not have a withholding election in place by the date of a distribution, federal income tax will be withheld from the taxable portion of your distribution at a rate of 10%. 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 withheld from your distribution.

For more specific information, please consult your tax adviser.

Portfolio Ratings Mix:

September 30, 2020

(% 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.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2020
 

  (Unaudited)

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 New York Bond Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers three classes of shares: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A shares. The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.

Effective June 29, 2020, the Fund's Institutional Shares commenced operations and the Adviser Shares were redesignated Class A shares and became subject to a front-end sales charge.

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.

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 generally accepted accounting principles 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.

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


16


USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements — continued
September 30, 2020
 

  (Unaudited)

Portfolio securities listed or traded on securities exchanges, including exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), are valued at the closing price on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, if available, or at the Nasdaq 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 are typically 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 are typically categorized as Level 2 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 are typically 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 September 30, 2020, based upon the three levels defined above, is included in the table below while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments (amounts in thousands):

For the six months ended September 30, 2020, there were no transfers in or out of the Level 3 fair value hierarchy.

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 NAV. 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 on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments.

Municipal Obligations:

The values of municipal obligations can fluctuate and may be affected by adverse tax, legislative, or political changes, and by financial developments affecting municipal issuers. Payment of municipal obligations may depend on a relatively limited source of revenue, resulting in greater credit risk. Future changes in federal tax laws or the activity of an issuer may adversely affect the tax-exempt status of municipal obligations.

  (Unaudited)

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.

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 March 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 years, which includes the current fiscal tax year end). 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, 12b-1 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. For the six months ended September 30, 2020, the Fund engaged in the following securities transactions with affiliated funds, which resulted in the following net realized gains (losses) (amounts in thousands):

4. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties:

Investment Advisory Fees:

Investment advisory services are provided to the Fund by Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or 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 rates of 0.50% of the first $50 million of the Fund's average daily net assets, 0.40% of that portion of average daily net assets over $50 million but not over $100 million, and 0.30% of that portion of the Fund's average daily net assets over $100 million. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Investment Advisory fees.

Effective July 1, 2019, no performance adjustments were made for the periods beginning July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020. Only performance beginning as of July 1, 2019, and thereafter is utilized in calculating future performance adjustments.

The performance adjustment for each share class is accrued daily and calculated monthly by comparing each class' performance to that of the Lipper New York Municipal Debt Funds Index. The Lipper New York Municipal Debt Funds Index tracks the total return performance of funds within the Lipper New York Municipal Debt Funds category.

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
 

Annual Adjustment Rate

 

(in basis Rate points)(a)

 

(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 Lipper 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 the 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


19


USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements — continued
September 30, 2020
 

  (Unaudited)

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 New York Municipal Debt Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.

For the period July 1, 2020, to September 30, 2020, performance adjustments for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A shares were $24, less than $1 thousand, and less than $1 thousand, respectively. For the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A shares, the performance adjustments were 0.02%, less than 0.01%, and 0.01% of average daily net assets, respectively.

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. 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 six months ended September 30, 2020, the Fund had no subadvisers.

Administration and Servicing Fees:

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 of the Fund Shares, and Class A shares, 0.10% of average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares, respectively. Amounts incurred for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Administration fees.

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. Amounts incurred for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Compliance fees.

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 Fund 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. Amounts incurred for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Sub-Administration fees.

Transfer Agency Fees:

Victory Capital Transfer Agency, Inc. ("VCTA"), 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 Class A shares are paid monthly based on a fee accrued daily at an annualized rate of 0.10%, of average daily net assets, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Transfer Agent fees.

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. VCTA provides FIS Investor Services LLC a fee for providing these services.

Distributor/Underwriting Services:

Victory Capital Services, 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. Effective June 30, 2020, the Distributor's name was changed from Victory Capital Advisers, Inc. Pursuant to the Distribution and Service Plans adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Distributor may receive a monthly distribution and service fee, at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares. The distribution and service fees paid to the Distributor may be used by the Distributor to pay for activity primarily intended to result in the sale of Class A shares. Amounts incurred and paid to the Distributor for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as 12b-1 fees.

In addition, the Distributor is entitled to receive commission on sales of the Class A shares of the Fund. For the six months ended September 30, 2020, the Distributor didn't receive any commissions.

Other Fees:

Citibank serves as the Fund's custodian.

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

The Adviser has entered into an expense limitation agreement with the Fund until at least July 31, 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. As of September 30, 2020, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) are 0.65%, 0.61%, and 0.90% for the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A 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 September 30, 2020, the following amounts were available to be repaid to the Adviser (amounts in thousands). The Fund has not recorded any amounts available to be repaid as a liability due to an assessment that such repayment is not probable at September 30, 2020.

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 six months ended September 30, 2020.

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.

Global economies and financial markets are increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibilities that conditions in one country or region might adversely affect issuers in another country or region. Geopolitical and other risks, including war, terrorism, trade disputes, political or economic dysfunction within some nations, public health crises and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods, may add to instability in world economies

and markets generally. Changes in trade policies and international trade agreements could affect the economies of many countries in unpredictable ways. Epidemics and/or pandemics, such as the coronavirus (or COVID-19), may result in, among other things, closing borders, disruptions to healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and consumer activity, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The impact may be short-term or may last for extended periods.

The COVID-19 pandemic, which has spread rapidly across the world, has led and will continue to lead for an unknown period of time to disruptions in local, regional, national and global markets and economies. Among other things, the outbreak has resulted in, and until fully resolved is likely to continue to result in, among other things (1) government imposition of various forms of "stay at home" orders and the closing of "non-essential" businesses, resulting in significant disruption to the businesses of many issuers as well as lay-offs of employees: (2) increased requests by issuers of debt instruments for amendments and waivers of agreements to avoid default and increased defaults: (3) volatility and disruption of markets, including greater volatility in pricing and spreads; and (4) rapidly evolving proposals and/or actions by state and federal governments to address problems being experienced by the markets and by businesses and the economy in general.

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.

The value of a debt security or other income-producing security changes in response to various factors, including, for example, market-related factors (such as changes in interest rates or changes in the risk appetite of investors generally) and changes in the actual or perceived ability of the issuer (or of issuers generally) to meet its (or their) obligations.

Other factors that may affect the value of debt securities, include, among others, public health crises and responses by governments and companies to such crises. These and other events may affect the creditworthiness of the issuer of a debt security and may impair an issuers ability to timely meet its debt obligations as they come due.

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 tax-exempt 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; conversely, when interest rates fall, bond prices rise. The price volatility of a bond also depends on its duration. Generally, the longer the duration of a bond, the greater is its sensitivity to interest rates. To compensate investors for this higher interest rate risk, bonds with longer durations generally offer higher yields than bonds with shorter durations. The ability of an issuer of a debt security to repay principal prior to a security's maturity can increase the security's sensitivity to interest rate changes.

Decisions by the U.S. Federal Reserve (also known as the "Fed") regarding interest rate and monetary policy, which can be difficult to predict and sometimes change direction suddenly in response to economic and market events, can have a significant effect on the value of fixed-income securities as well as the overall strength of the U.S. economy. Precise interest rate predictions are difficult to make, and interest rates may change unexpectedly and dramatically in response to extreme changes in market or economic conditions. As a result, the value of fixed- income securities may vary widely under certain market conditions.

6. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:

Line of Credit:

For the six months ended September 30, 2020, the Victory Funds Complex participated in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 29, 2020, with a termination date of June 28, 2021. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex may 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, (herein, the "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. For the six months ended September 30, 2020, Citibank received 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. Effective June 29, 2020, under an amended Line of Credit agreement, Citibank will also receive an annual upfront fee of 0.10% on the $300 million committed line of credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex will pay a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Interest charged to each Fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Line of credit fees.

The Fund had no borrowings under the Line of Credit agreement during the six months ended September 30, 2020.

Interfund Lending:

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 Funds 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, if any, during the period is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Interfund lending fees. As a Lender, interest earned by the Fund, if any, 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 six months ended September 30, 2020.

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

The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (deficit) will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending March 31, 2021.

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information

Proxy Voting:

Information regarding the policies and procedures the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling (800) 539-3863. The information is also included in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Information relating to how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent 12 months ended June 30 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments:

The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. Forms N-PORT are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Expense Examples

As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases; 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 April 1, 2020, through September 30, 2020 (unless noted otherwise).

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.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The USAA Mutual Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the "LRMP") as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration the Fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions; its short and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other liquidity management tools such as available funding sources including the Victory Funds Complex Interfund Lending Facility and Line of Credit (discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements). The USAA Mutual Funds' Board of Trustees approved the appointment of the Fund's investment adviser, Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital"), as the administrator of the LRMP. At an in-person meeting held on February 26, 2020, Victory Capital provided an oral and written report to the Trustees on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP during the previous year.

Victory Capital manages liquidity risks associated with the Fund's investments by monitoring, among other things, cash and cash equivalents, any use of derivatives, the concentration of investments, the appropriateness of the Fund's investment strategy, and by classifying every fund investment as either highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid or illiquid on at least a monthly basis. To assist with the classification of Fund investments, Victory Capital has retained a third-party provider of liquidity evaluation services. This provider determines preliminary liquidity classifications for all portfolio holdings based upon portfolio-level data and certain assumptions provided by Victory Capital. Victory Capital reviews the preliminary liquidity classifications, and, when appropriate, considers other information including input from the Fund's portfolio managers (including the portfolio managers employed by any investment sub-advisers) in determining final liquidity classifications.

The report from Victory Capital concluded that the Fund did not experience any significant liquidity challenges during the covered period, and the Fund's LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage its liquidity risk. The report also concluded that the LRMP continues to operate adequately and effectively to enable Victory Capital to oversee and manage liquidity risk and ensure the Fund is able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution to the remaining investors' interest in the Fund. During the review period, the Fund's portfolio consisted primarily of highly liquid investments, which are defined as cash and any investments reasonably expected to be converted to cash in current market conditions in three business days or less without significantly changing the market value of the investment. Therefore, the Fund has not adopted a Highly Liquid Investment Minimum. The Fund's investments were below the limitation on illiquid investments during the review period. Additionally, Victory Capital indicated that no events occurred that would require the filing of Form N-LIQUID and recommended no material changes to the LRMP.

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 tax rate. However, you may elect not to have withholding apply or to have income tax withheld at a higher rate. Any withholding election that you make will apply to any subsequent distribution unless and until you change or revoke the election. If you wish to make a withholding election, or change or revoke a prior withholding election, call (800) 235-8396.

If you do not have a withholding election in place by the date of a distribution, federal income tax will be withheld from the taxable portion of your distribution at a rate of 10%.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2020
 

  (Unaudited)  

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 Target Managed Allocation Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.

The Fund is not offered for sale directly to the general public and is available currently for investment only to other USAA Mutual Funds participating in a fund-of-funds investment strategy or other persons or legal entities that the Fund may approve from time to time.

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 generally accepted accounting principals 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.

The Adviser has established the Pricing and Liquidity Committee (the "Committee"), and subject to the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "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"), are valued at the closing price on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, if available, or at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price. If there have been no sales for that day on the exchange


10


USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements — continued
September 30, 2020
 

  (Unaudited)  

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 are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value ("NAV"). These valuations are typically 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 are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or an exchange on which they are traded. These valuations are typically 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 are typically 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 NAV to be more reliable than it otherwise would be.

A summary of the valuations as of September 30, 2020, based upon the three levels defined above, is included in the table below while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments (amounts in thousands):

For the six months ended September 30, 2020, 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.

  (Unaudited)  

Investment Companies:

Exchange-Traded Funds:

The Fund may invest in ETFs, 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.

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 enter into futures contracts in an effort to hedge market risks. 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 collateral held by the Fund is presented on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under Deposit with broker for futures contracts.

During the six months ended September 30, 2020, the Fund entered into futures contracts primarily to aid in achieving the Fund's investment objective.

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

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 on the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio of Investments and Financial Statements while non-cash collateral is not included.

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 transactions 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 March 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 years, which includes the current fiscal tax year end). 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.

5. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties:

Investment Advisory Fees:

Investment advisory services are provided to the Fund by Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or 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 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Investment Advisory fees.

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. 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 six months ended September 30, 2020, the Fund had no subadvisers.

Administration and Servicing Fees:

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 0.05% of average daily net assets of the Fund. Amounts incurred for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Administration fees.

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


15


USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements — continued
September 30, 2020
 

  (Unaudited)  

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. Amounts incurred for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Compliance fees.

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 Fund 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. Amounts incurred during the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Sub-Administration fees.

Transfer Agency Fees:

Victory Capital Transfer Agency, Inc. ("VCTA"), provides transfer agency services to the Fund. VCTA, an affiliate of the Adviser, provides transfer agent services based on a fee accrued daily at an annualized rate of 0.05% of the Fund's average daily net assets, plus out of pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Transfer Agent fees.

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. VCTA provides FIS Investor Services LLC a fee for providing these services.

Distributor/Underwriting Services:

Victory Capital Services, 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. Effective June 30, 2020, the Distributor's name was changed from Victory Capital Advisers, Inc.

Other Fees:

Citibank serves as the Fund's custodian.

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

The Adviser has entered into an expense limitation agreement with the Fund until at least July 31, 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 the Fund 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. As of September 30, 2020, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) is 0.65%.

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 September 30, 2020, there are no amounts available to be repaid to the Adviser. The Fund has not recorded any amounts available to be repaid as a liability due to an assessment that such repayment is not probable at September 30, 2020.

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


16


USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements — continued
September 30, 2020
 

  (Unaudited)  

available to be recouped at a future time. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the six months ended September 30, 2020.

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.

Global economies and financial markets are increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibilities that conditions in one country or region might adversely affect issuers in another country or region. Geopolitical and other risks, including war, terrorism, trade disputes, political or economic dysfunction within some nations, public health crises and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods, may add to instability in world economies and markets generally. Changes in trade policies and international trade agreements could affect the economies of many countries in unpredictable ways. Epidemics and/or pandemics, such as the coronavirus (or COVID-19), may result in, among other things, closing borders, disruptions to healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and consumer activity, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The impact may be short-term or may last for extended periods.

The COVID-19 pandemic, which has spread rapidly across the world, has led and will continue to lead for an unknown period of time to disruptions in local, regional, national and global markets and economies. Among other things, the outbreak has resulted in, and until fully resolved is likely to continue to result in, among other things (1) government imposition of various forms of "stay at home" orders and the closing of "non-essential" businesses, resulting in significant disruption to the businesses of many issuers as well as lay-offs of employees: (2) increased requests by issuers of debt instruments for amendments and waivers of agreements to avoid default and increased defaults: (3) volatility and disruption of markets, including greater volatility in pricing and spreads; and (4) rapidly evolving proposals and/or actions by state and federal governments to address problems being experienced by the markets and by businesses and the economy in general.

The Fund may change the allocation of its portfolio holdings on a frequent basis, which may result in higher portfolio turnover. In purchasing and selling securities in order to reallocate the portfolio, the Fund will pay more brokerage commissions than it would without a reallocation policy. In addition, the Fund may have a higher proportion of capital gains and a potentially lower return than a fund that does not reallocate from time to time.

ETFs, which generally are registered investment companies, incur their own management and other fees and expenses, such as trustees' fees, operating expenses, registration fees, and marketing expenses, a proportionate share of which will be borne indirectly by the Fund as a shareholder in an ETF. As a result, the Fund's investment in an ETF will cause the Fund to indirectly bear the fees and expenses of the ETF and, in turn, the Fund's performance may be lower than if the Fund were to invest directly in the underlying securities held by the ETF. For investments in affiliated ETFs, the Fund's management fee is reimbursed by the Adviser to the extent of the indirect management fee incurred through the Fund's investment in the affiliated ETFs. The Adviser may have conflicts of interest in allocating assets among affiliated and unaffiliated ETFs, because the Adviser also manages and administers the affiliated ETFs, and the Adviser and its affiliates receive other fees from the affiliated ETFs. In addition, the Fund also will be subject to the risks associated with the securities or other investments held by the ETFs.

The value of a debt security or other income-producing security changes in response to various factors, including, for example, market-related factors (such as changes in interest rates or changes in the risk appetite of investors generally) and changes in the actual or perceived ability of the issuer (or of issuers generally) to meet its (or their) obligations.

7. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:

Line of Credit:

For the six months ended September 30, 2020, the Victory Funds Complex participated in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 29, 2020, with a termination date of June 28, 2021. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex may 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, (herein, the "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. For the six months ended September 30, 2020, Citibank received 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. Effective June 29, 2020, under an amended Line of Credit agreement, Citibank will also receive an annual upfront fee of 0.10% on the $300 million committed line of credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex will pay a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Interest charged to each Fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Line of credit fees.

The Fund had no borrowings under the Line of Credit agreement during the six months ended September 30, 2020.

Interfund Lending:

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 Funds 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, if any, during the period is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Interfund lending fees. As a Lender, interest earned by the Fund, if any, during the period is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Income on Interfund lending.

The average borrowing or lending for the days outstanding and average interest rate for the Fund during the six months ended September 30, 2020 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

8. Federal Income Tax Information:

The Fund intends to declare and 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

  (Unaudited)  

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 tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (deficit) will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending March 31, 2021.

At March 31, 2020, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards, for federal income tax purposes.

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information

Proxy Voting:

Information regarding the policies and procedures the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling (800) 539-3863. The information is also included in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Information relating to how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent 12 months ended June 30 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments:

The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. Forms N-PORT are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

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 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 April 1, 2020, through September 30, 2020.

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.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The USAA Mutual Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the "LRMP") as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration the Fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions; its short and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other liquidity management tools such as available funding sources including the Victory Funds Complex Interfund Lending Facility and Line of Credit (discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements). The USAA Mutual Funds' Board of Trustees approved the appointment of the Fund's investment adviser, Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital"), as the administrator of the LRMP. At an in-person meeting held on February 26, 2020, Victory Capital provided an oral and written report to the Trustees on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP during the previous year.

Victory Capital manages liquidity risks associated with the Fund's investments by monitoring, among other things, cash and cash equivalents, any use of derivatives, the concentration of investments, the appropriateness of the Fund's investment strategy, and by classifying every fund investment as either highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid or illiquid on at least a monthly basis. To assist with the classification of Fund investments, Victory Capital has retained a third-party provider of liquidity evaluation services. This provider determines preliminary liquidity classifications for all portfolio holdings based upon portfolio-level data and certain assumptions provided by Victory Capital. Victory Capital reviews the preliminary liquidity classifications, and, when appropriate, considers other information including input from the Fund's portfolio managers (including the portfolio managers employed by any investment sub-advisers) in determining final liquidity classifications.

The report from Victory Capital concluded that the Fund did not experience any significant liquidity challenges during the covered period, and the Fund's LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage its liquidity risk. The report also concluded that the LRMP continues to operate adequately and effectively to enable Victory Capital to oversee and manage liquidity risk and ensure the Fund is able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution to the remaining investors' interest in the Fund. During the review period, the Fund's portfolio consisted primarily of highly liquid investments, which are defined as cash and any investments reasonably expected to be converted to cash in current market conditions in three business days or less without significantly changing the market value of the investment. Therefore, the Fund has not adopted a Highly Liquid Investment Minimum. The Fund's investments were below the limitation on illiquid investments during the review period. Additionally, Victory Capital indicated that no events occurred that would require the filing of Form N-LIQUID and recommended no material changes to the LRMP.

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 tax rate. However, you may elect not to have withholding apply or to have income tax withheld at a higher rate. Any withholding election that you make will apply to any subsequent distribution unless and until you change or revoke the election. If you wish to make a withholding election, or change or revoke a prior withholding election, call (800) 235-8396.

If you do not have a withholding election in place by the date of a distribution, federal income tax will be withheld from the taxable portion of your distribution at a rate of 10%. 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 withheld from your distribution.

For more specific information, please consult your tax adviser.

Portfolio Ratings Mix:

September 30, 2020

(% 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.

*  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.

**  For the period beginning July 1, 2019, the amount of any waivers or reimbursements and the amount of any recoupment is calculated without regard to the impact of any performance adjustment to the Fund's management fee.

^  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.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2020
 

  (Unaudited)

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 Tax Exempt Intermediate-Term Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers three classes of shares: Fund Shares, Institutional shares, and Class A shares. The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.

Effective June 29, 2020, the Fund's Institutional Shares commenced operations and the Adviser Shares were redesignated Class A shares and became subject to a front-end sales charge.

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.

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 generally accepted accounting principles 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.

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

USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements — continued

  (Unaudited)

Portfolio securities listed or traded on securities exchanges, including exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), are valued at the closing price on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, if available, or at the Nasdaq 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 are typically 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 are typically categorized as Level 2 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 are typically 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 September 30, 2020, based upon the three levels defined above, is included in the table below while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments (amounts in thousands):

For the six months ended September 30, 2020, there were no transfers in or out of the Level 3 fair value hierarchy.

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 NAV. 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 on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments.

Municipal Obligations:

The values of municipal obligations can fluctuate and may be affected by adverse tax, legislative, or political changes, and by financial developments affecting municipal issuers. Payment of municipal obligations may depend on a relatively limited source of revenue, resulting in greater credit risk. Future changes in federal tax laws or the activity of an issuer may adversely affect the tax-exempt status of municipal obligations.

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.

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 March 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 years, which includes the current fiscal tax year end). 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, 12b-1 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-advser. 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. For the six months ended September 30, 2020, the Fund engaged in the following securities transactions with affiliated funds, which resulted in the following net realized gains (losses) (amounts in thousands):

4. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties:

Investment Advisory Fees:

Investment advisory services are provided to the Fund by Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or 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 0.28% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Investment Advisory fees.

Effective July 1, 2019, no performance adjustments were made for the periods beginning July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020. Only performance beginning as of July 1, 2019, and thereafter is utilized in calculating future performance adjustments.

The performance adjustment for each share class is accrued daily and calculated monthly by comparing the each class' performance to that of the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Index. The Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Index tracks the total return performance of funds within the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds category.

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 Lipper 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 the 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.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements — continued
September 30, 2020
 

  (Unaudited)

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

For the period July 1 2020, to September 30, 2020, performance adjustments for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A shares were $162, less than $(1), and $(2) thousand, respectively. For the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A shares, the performance adjustments were less than 0.01%, less than (0.01)%, and (0.01)% of average daily net assets, respectively.

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. 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 six months ended September 30, 2020, the Fund had no subadvisers.

Administration and Servicing Fees:

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 of the Fund Shares, and Class A shares, 0.10% of average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares, respectively. Amounts incurred for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Administration fees.

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. Amounts incurred for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Compliance fees.

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 Fund 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. Amounts incurred for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Sub-Administration fees.

Transfer Agency Fees:

Victory Capital Transfer Agency, Inc. ("VCTA"), 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 Class A shares are paid monthly based on a fee accrued daily at an annualized rate of 0.10%, of average daily net assets, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Transfer Agent fees.

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. VCTA provides FIS Investor Services LLC a fee for providing these services.

Distributor/Underwriting Services:

Victory Capital Services, 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. Effective June 30, 2020, the Distributor's name was changed from Victory Capital Advisers, Inc. Pursuant to the Distribution and Service Plans adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Distributor may receive a monthly distribution and service fee, at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares. The distribution and service fees paid to the Distributor may be used by the Distributor to pay for activity primarily intended to result in the sale of Class A shares. Amounts incurred and paid to the Distributor for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as 12b-1 Fees.

In addition, the Distributor is entitled to receive commission on sales of the Class A shares of the Fund. For the six months ended September 30, 2020, the Distributor received approximately less than $1 thousand from commissions earned on sales of Class A shares of the Fund.

Other Fees:

Citibank serves as the Fund's custodian.

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

The Adviser has entered into an expense limitation agreement with the Fund until at least July 31, 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. As of September 30, 2020, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) are 0.48%, 0.44%, and 0.75% for the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A 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 September 30, 2020, the following amounts were available to be repaid to the Adviser (amounts in thousands). The Fund has not recorded any amounts available to be repaid as a liability due to an assessment that such repayment is not probable at September 30, 2020.

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 six months ended September 30, 2020.

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.

Global economies and financial markets are increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibilities that conditions in one country or region might adversely affect issuers in another country or region. Geopolitical and other risks, including war, terrorism, trade disputes, political or economic dysfunction within some nations, public health crises and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods, may add to instability in world economies

and markets generally. Changes in trade policies and international trade agreements could affect the economies of many countries in unpredictable ways. Epidemics and/or pandemics, such as the coronavirus (or COVID-19), may result in, among other things, closing borders, disruptions to healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and consumer activity, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The impact may be short-term or may last for extended periods.

The COVID-19 pandemic, which has spread rapidly across the world, has led and will continue to lead for an unknown period of time to disruptions in local, regional, national and global markets and economies. Among other things, the outbreak has resulted in, and until fully resolved is likely to continue to result in, among other things (1) government imposition of various forms of "stay at home" orders and the closing of "non-essential" businesses, resulting in significant disruption to the businesses of many issuers as well as lay-offs of employees: (2) increased requests by issuers of debt instruments for amendments and waivers of agreements to avoid default and increased defaults: (3) volatility and disruption of markets, including greater volatility in pricing and spreads; and (4) rapidly evolving proposals and/or actions by state and federal governments to address problems being experienced by the markets and by businesses and the economy in general.

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.

The value of a debt security or other income-producing security changes in response to various factors, including, for example, market-related factors (such as changes in interest rates or changes in the risk appetite of investors generally) and changes in the actual or perceived ability of the issuer (or of issuers generally) to meet its (or their) obligations.

Other factors that may affect the value of debt securities, include, among others, public health crises and responses by governments and companies to such crises. These and other events may affect the creditworthiness of the issuer of a debt security and may impair an issuers ability to timely meet its debt obligations as they come due.

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 tax-exempt 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; conversely, when interest rates fall, bond prices rise. The price volatility of a bond also depends on its duration. Generally, the longer the duration of a bond, the greater is its sensitivity to interest rates. To compensate investors for this higher interest rate risk, bonds with longer durations generally offer higher yields than bonds with shorter durations. The ability of an issuer of a debt security to repay principal prior to a security's maturity can increase the security's sensitivity to interest rate changes.

Decisions by the U.S. Federal Reserve (also known as the "Fed") regarding interest rate and monetary policy, which can be difficult to predict and sometimes change direction suddenly in response to economic and market events, can have a significant effect on the value of fixed-income securities as well as the overall strength of the U.S. economy. Precise interest rate predictions are difficult to make, and interest rates may change unexpectedly and dramatically in response to extreme changes in market or economic conditions. As a result, the value of fixed- income securities may vary widely under certain market conditions.

Many debt securities, derivatives and other financial instruments, including some of the Fund's investments, use the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") as the reference or benchmark rate for variable interest rate calculations. However, the use of LIBOR started to come under pressure following manipulation allegations in 2012. Despite increased regulation and other corrective actions since that time, concerns have arisen regarding its viability as a benchmark, due largely to reduced activity in

the financial markets that it measures. In June 2017, the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a group of large U.S. banks working with the Federal Reserve, announced its selection of a new Secured Overnight Funding Rate ("SOFR"), which is intended to be a broad measure of secured overnight U.S. Treasury repo rates, as an appropriate replacement for LIBOR. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York began publishing the SOFR in 2018, expecting that it could be used on a voluntary basis in new instruments and transactions. Bank working groups and regulators in other countries have suggested other alternatives for their markets, including the Sterling Overnight Interbank Average Rate ("SONIA") in England. In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA"), the United Kingdom financial regulatory body, announced that after 2021 it will cease its active encouragement of UK banks to provide the quotations needed to sustain LIBOR. That announcement suggests that LIBOR may cease to be published after that time. The roughly three-year period until the end of 2021 is expected to be enough time for market participants to transition to the use of a different benchmark for both new and existing securities and transactions. Various financial industry groups have begun planning for that transition, but there are obstacles to converting certain longer-term securities and transactions to a new benchmark. Transition planning is at an early stage, and neither the effect of the transition process nor its ultimate success can yet be known. The transition process might lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets that currently rely on the LIBOR to determine interest rates. It could also lead to a reduction in the value of some LIBOR-based investments and reduce the effectiveness of new hedges placed against existing LIBOR-based instruments. Since the usefulness of LIBOR as a benchmark could deteriorate during the transition period, these effects could occur before the end of 2021.

6. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:

Line of Credit:

For the six months ended September 30, 2020, the Victory Funds Complex participated in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 29, 2020 with a termination date of June 28, 2021. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex may 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, (herein, the "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. For the six months ended September 30, 2020, Citibank received 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. Effective June 29, 2020, under an amended Line of Credit agreement, Citibank will also receive an annual upfront fee of 0.10% on the $300 million committed line of credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex will pay a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Interest charged to each Fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statements of Operations under Line of credit fees.

The Fund had no borrowings under the Line of Credit agreement during the six months ended September 30, 2020.

Interfund Lending:

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 Funds 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, if any, during the period is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Interfund lending fees. As a Lender, interest earned by the Fund, if any, 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 six months ended September 30, 2020.

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

The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (deficit) will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending March 31, 2021.

At March 31, 2020, the Fund had net capital loss carryforwards as shown in the table below (amounts in thousands). It is unlikely that the Board will authorize a distribution of capital gains realized in the future until the capital loss carryforwards have been used.

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information

Proxy Voting:

Information regarding the policies and procedures the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling (800) 539-3863. The information is also included in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Information relating to how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent 12 months ended June 30 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments:

The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. Forms N-PORT are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Expense Examples

As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases; 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 April 1, 2020, through September 30, 2020 (unless noted otherwise).

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.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The USAA Mutual Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the "LRMP") as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration the Fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions; its short and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other liquidity management tools such as available funding sources including the Victory Funds Complex Interfund Lending Facility and Line of Credit (discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements). The USAA Mutual Funds' Board of Trustees approved the appointment of the Fund's investment adviser, Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital"), as the administrator of the LRMP. At an in-person meeting held on February 26, 2020, Victory Capital provided an oral and written report to the Trustees on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP during the previous year.

Victory Capital manages liquidity risks associated with the Fund's investments by monitoring, among other things, cash and cash equivalents, any use of derivatives, the concentration of investments, the appropriateness of the Fund's investment strategy, and by classifying every fund investment as either highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid or illiquid on at least a monthly basis. To assist with the classification of Fund investments, Victory Capital has retained a third-party provider of liquidity evaluation services. This provider determines preliminary liquidity classifications for all portfolio holdings based upon portfolio-level data and certain assumptions provided by Victory Capital. Victory Capital reviews the preliminary liquidity classifications, and, when appropriate, considers other information including input from the Fund's portfolio managers (including the portfolio managers employed by any investment sub-advisers) in determining final liquidity classifications.

The report from Victory Capital concluded that the Fund did not experience any significant liquidity challenges during the covered period, and the Fund's LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage its liquidity risk. The report also concluded that the LRMP continues to operate adequately and effectively to enable Victory Capital to oversee and manage liquidity risk and ensure the Fund is able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution to the remaining investors' interest in the Fund. During the review period, the Fund's portfolio consisted primarily of highly liquid investments, which are defined as cash and any investments reasonably expected to be converted to cash in current market conditions in three business days or less without significantly changing the market value of the investment. Therefore, the Fund has not adopted a Highly Liquid Investment Minimum. The Fund's investments were below the limitation on illiquid investments during the review period. Additionally, Victory Capital indicated that no events occurred that would require the filing of Form N-LIQUID and recommended no material changes to the LRMP.

(% 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.

*  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.

**  For the period beginning July 1, 2019, the amount of any waivers or reimbursements and the amount of any recoupment is calculated without regard to the impact of any performance adjustment to the Fund's management fee.

^  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)  Not annualized for periods less than one year.

(b)  Annualized for periods less than one year.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2020
 

  (Unaudited)

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 Tax Exempt Long-Term Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers three classes of shares: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A shares. The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.

Effective June 29, 2020, the Fund's Institutional Shares commenced operations and the Adviser Shares were redesignated Class A shares and became subject to a front-end sales charge.

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.

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 generally accepted accounting principles 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.

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

  (Unaudited)

Portfolio securities listed or traded on securities exchanges, including exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), are valued at the closing price on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, if available, or at the Nasdaq 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 are typically 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 are typically categorized as Level 2 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 are typically 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 September 30, 2020, based upon the three levels defined above, is included in the table below while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments (amounts in thousands):

For the six months ended September 30, 2020, there were no transfers in or out of the Level 3 fair value hierarchy.

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 NAV. 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 on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments.

Municipal Obligations:

The values of municipal obligations can fluctuate and may be affected by adverse tax, legislative, or political changes, and by financial developments affecting municipal issuers. Payment of municipal obligations may depend on a relatively limited source of revenue, resulting in greater credit risk. Future changes in federal tax laws or the activity of an issuer may adversely affect the tax-exempt status of municipal obligations.

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.

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 March 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 years, which includes the current fiscal tax year end). 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, 12b-1 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. For the six months ended September 30, 2020, the Fund engaged in the following securities transactions with affiliated funds, which resulted in the following net realized gains (losses) (amounts in thousands):

4. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties:

Investment Advisory Fees:

Investment advisory services are provided to the Fund by Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or 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 0.28% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Investment Advisory fees.

Effective July 1, 2019, no performance adjustments were made for the periods beginning July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020. Only performance beginning as of July 1, 2019, and thereafter is utilized in calculating future performance adjustments.

The performance adjustment for each share class is accrued daily and calculated monthly by comparing each class' performance to that of the Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds Index. The Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds Index tracks the total return performance of funds within the Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds category.

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 Lipper 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 the 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.


35


USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements — continued

  (Unaudited)

Under the performance fee arrangement, each class pays a positive performance fee adjustment for a performance period whenever the class outperforms the Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.

For the period July 1, 2020, to September 30, 2020, performance adjustments for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares and Class A shares were $(83), less than $(1), and $(1) thousand, respectively. For the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A shares, the performance adjustments were less than (0.01)%, less than (0.01)%, and (0.02)% of average daily net assets, respectively.

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. 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 six months ended September 30, 2020, the Fund had no subadvisers.

Administration and Servicing Fees:

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 of the Fund Shares, and Class A shares, 0.10% of average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares, respectively. Amounts incurred for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Administration fees.

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. Amounts incurred for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Compliance fees.

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 Fund 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. Amounts incurred for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Sub-Administration fees.

Transfer Agency Fees:

Victory Capital Transfer Agency, Inc. ("VCTA"), 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 Class A shares are paid monthly based on a fee accrued daily at an annualized rate of 0.10%, of average daily net assets, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Transfer Agent fees.

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. VCTA provides FIS Investor Services LLC a fee for providing these services.

Distributor/Underwriting Services:

Victory Capital Services, 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. Effective June 30, 2020, the Distributor's name was changed from Victory Capital Advisers, Inc. Pursuant to the Distribution and Service Plans adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Distributor may receive a monthly distribution and service fee, at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares. The distribution and service fees paid to the Distributor may be used by the Distributor to pay for activity primarily intended to result in the sale of Class A shares. Amounts incurred and paid to the Distributor for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as 12b-1 fees.

In addition, the Distributor is entitled to receive commission on sales of the Class A shares of the Fund. For the six months ended September 30, 2020, the Distributor didn't receive any commissions.

Other Fees:

Citibank serves as the Fund's custodian.

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

The Adviser has entered into an expense limitation agreement with the Fund until at least July 31, 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. As of September 30, 2020, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) are 0.48%, 0.44%, and 0.70% for the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A 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 September 30, 2020, the following amounts were available to be repaid to the Adviser (amounts in thousands). The Fund has not recorded any amounts available to be repaid as a liability due to an assessment that such repayment is not probable at September 30, 2020.

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.

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.

Global economies and financial markets are increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibilities that conditions in one country or region might adversely affect issuers in another country or region. Geopolitical and other risks, including war, terrorism, trade disputes, political or economic dysfunction within some nations, public health crises and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods, may add to instability in world economies and markets generally. Changes in trade policies and international trade agreements could affect the


37


USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements — continued
September 30, 2020
 

  (Unaudited)

economies of many countries in unpredictable ways. Epidemics and/or pandemics, such as the coronavirus (or COVID-19), may result in, among other things, closing borders, disruptions to healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and consumer activity, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The impact may be short-term or may last for extended periods.

The COVID-19 pandemic, which has spread rapidly across the world, has led and will continue to lead for an unknown period of time to disruptions in local, regional, national and global markets and economies. Among other things, the outbreak has resulted in, and until fully resolved is likely to continue to result in, among other things (1) government imposition of various forms of "stay at home" orders and the closing of "non-essential" businesses, resulting in significant disruption to the businesses of many issuers as well as lay-offs of employees: (2) increased requests by issuers of debt instruments for amendments and waivers of agreements to avoid default and increased defaults: (3) volatility and disruption of markets, including greater volatility in pricing and spreads; and (4) rapidly evolving proposals and/or actions by state and federal governments to address problems being experienced by the markets and by businesses and the economy in general.

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.

The value of a debt security or other income-producing security changes in response to various factors, including, for example, market-related factors (such as changes in interest rates or changes in the risk appetite of investors generally) and changes in the actual or perceived ability of the issuer (or of issuers generally) to meet its (or their) obligations.

Other factors that may affect the value of debt securities, include, among others, public health crises and responses by governments and companies to such crises. These and other events may affect the creditworthiness of the issuer of a debt security and may impair an issuers ability to timely meet its debt obligations as they come due.

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 tax-exempt 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; conversely, when interest rates fall, bond prices rise. The price volatility of a bond also depends on its duration. Generally, the longer the duration of a bond, the greater is its sensitivity to interest rates. To compensate investors for this higher interest rate risk, bonds with longer durations generally offer higher yields than bonds with shorter durations. The ability of an issuer of a debt security to repay principal prior to a security's maturity can increase the security's sensitivity to interest rate changes.

Decisions by the U.S. Federal Reserve (also known as the "Fed") regarding interest rate and monetary policy, which can be difficult to predict and sometimes change direction suddenly in response to economic and market events, can have a significant effect on the value of fixed-income securities as well as the overall strength of the U.S. economy. Precise interest rate predictions are difficult to make, and interest rates may change unexpectedly and dramatically in response to extreme changes in market or economic conditions. As a result, the value of fixed- income securities may vary widely under certain market conditions.

Many debt securities, derivatives and other financial instruments, including some of the Fund's investments, use the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") as the reference or benchmark rate for variable interest rate calculations. However, the use of LIBOR started to come under pressure following manipulation allegations in 2012. Despite increased regulation and other corrective actions since that time, concerns have arisen regarding its viability as a benchmark, due largely to reduced activity in the financial markets that it measures. In June 2017, the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a


38


USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements — continued
September 30, 2020
 

  (Unaudited)

group of large U.S. banks working with the Federal Reserve, announced its selection of a new Secured Overnight Funding Rate ("SOFR"), which is intended to be a broad measure of secured overnight U.S. Treasury repo rates, as an appropriate replacement for LIBOR. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York began publishing the SOFR in 2018, expecting that it could be used on a voluntary basis in new instruments and transactions. Bank working groups and regulators in other countries have suggested other alternatives for their markets, including the Sterling Overnight Interbank Average Rate ("SONIA") in England. In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA"), the United Kingdom financial regulatory body, announced that after 2021 it will cease its active encouragement of UK banks to provide the quotations needed to sustain LIBOR. That announcement suggests that LIBOR may cease to be published after that time. The roughly three-year period until the end of 2021 is expected to be enough time for market participants to transition to the use of a different benchmark for both new and existing securities and transactions. Various financial industry groups have begun planning for that transition, but there are obstacles to converting certain longer-term securities and transactions to a new benchmark. Transition planning is at an early stage, and neither the effect of the transition process nor its ultimate success can yet be known. The transition process might lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets that currently rely on the LIBOR to determine interest rates. It could also lead to a reduction in the value of some LIBOR-based investments and reduce the effectiveness of new hedges placed against existing LIBOR-based instruments. Since the usefulness of LIBOR as a benchmark could deteriorate during the transition period, these effects could occur before the end of 2021.

6. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:

Line of Credit:

For the six months ended September 30, 2020, the Victory Funds Complex participated in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 29, 2020, with a termination date of June 28, 2021. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex may 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, (herein, the "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. For the six months ended September 30, 2020, Citibank received 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. Effective June 29, 2020, under an amended Line of Credit agreement, Citibank will also receive an annual upfront fee of 0.10% on the $300 million committed line of credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex will pay a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Interest charged to each Fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Line of credit fees.

The Fund had no borrowings under the Line of Credit agreement during the six months ended September 30, 2020.

Interfund Lending:

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 Funds 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, if any, during the period is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Interfund lending fees. As a Lender, interest earned by the Fund, if any, during the period is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Income on Interfund lending.

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

The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (deficit) will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending March 31, 2021.

During the most recent tax year ended March 31, 2020, the Fund had net capital loss carryforwards as shown in the table below (amounts in thousands). It is unlikely that the Board will authorize a distribution of capital gains realized in the future until the capital loss carryforwards have been used.

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information

Proxy Voting:

Information regarding the policies and procedures the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling (800) 539-3863. The information is also included in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Information relating to how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent 12 months ended June 30 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments:

The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. Forms N-PORT are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Expense Examples

As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases; 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 April 1, 2020, through September 30, 2020 (unless noted otherwise).

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.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The USAA Mutual Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the "LRMP") as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration the Fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions; its short and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other liquidity management tools such as available funding sources including the Victory Funds Complex Interfund Lending Facility and Line of Credit (discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements). The USAA Mutual Funds' Board of Trustees approved the appointment of the Fund's investment adviser, Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital"), as the administrator of the LRMP. At an in-person meeting held on February 26, 2020, Victory Capital provided an oral and written report to the Trustees on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP during the previous year.

Victory Capital manages liquidity risks associated with the Fund's investments by monitoring, among other things, cash and cash equivalents, any use of derivatives, the concentration of investments, the appropriateness of the Fund's investment strategy, and by classifying every fund investment as either highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid or illiquid on at least a monthly basis. To assist with the classification of Fund investments, Victory Capital has retained a third-party provider of liquidity evaluation services. This provider determines preliminary liquidity classifications for all portfolio holdings based upon portfolio-level data and certain assumptions provided by Victory Capital. Victory Capital reviews the preliminary liquidity classifications, and, when appropriate, considers other information including input from the Fund's portfolio managers (including the portfolio managers employed by any investment sub-advisers) in determining final liquidity classifications.

The report from Victory Capital concluded that the Fund did not experience any significant liquidity challenges during the covered period, and the Fund's LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage its liquidity risk. The report also concluded that the LRMP continues to operate adequately and effectively to enable Victory Capital to oversee and manage liquidity risk and ensure the Fund is able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution to the remaining investors' interest in the Fund. During the review period, the Fund's portfolio consisted primarily of highly liquid investments, which are defined as cash and any investments reasonably expected to be converted to cash in current market conditions in three business days or less without significantly changing the market value of the investment. Therefore, the Fund has not adopted a Highly Liquid Investment Minimum. The Fund's investments were below the limitation on illiquid investments during the review period. Additionally, Victory Capital indicated that no events occurred that would require the filing of Form N-LIQUID and recommended no material changes to the LRMP.

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 tax rate. However, you may elect not to have withholding apply or to have income tax withheld at a higher rate. Any withholding election that you make will apply to any subsequent distribution unless and until you change or revoke the election. If you wish to make a withholding election, or change or revoke a prior withholding election, call (800) 235-8396.

If you do not have a withholding election in place by the date of a distribution, federal income tax will be withheld from the taxable portion of your distribution at a rate of 10%. 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 withheld from your distribution.

For more specific information, please consult your tax adviser.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2020
 

  (Unaudited)

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 Tax Exempt Money Market Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.

The Fund operates as a retail money market fund in compliance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act; and as a retail money market fund, shares of the Fund are available for sale only to accounts that are beneficially owned by natural persons.

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 generally accepted accounting principles 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 inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the 1940 Act. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

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)

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

All securities held in the Fund are short-term debt securities, which are valued pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This method values a security at its purchase price, and thereafter, assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any premiums or discounts. Securities for which amortized cost

  (Unaudited)

valuations are considered unreliable or whose values have been materially affected by a significant event are valued in good faith, at fair value, using methods determined by the Committee, under procedures to stabilize net assets and valuation procedures approved by the Board.

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 ("NAV"). 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 on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments.

Municipal Obligations:

The values of municipal obligations can fluctuate and may be affected by adverse tax, legislative, or political changes, and by financial developments affecting municipal issuers. Payment of municipal obligations may depend on a relatively limited source of revenue, resulting in greater credit risk. Future changes in federal tax laws or the activity of an issuer may adversely affect the tax-exempt status of municipal obligations.

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.

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 March 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 years, which includes the current fiscal tax year end). 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.

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

3. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties:

Investment Advisory Fees:

Investment advisory services are provided to the Fund by Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or 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. The Fund's Investment Adviser fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.28% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Investment Advisory fees.

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. 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 six months ended September 30, 2020, the Fund had no subadvisers.

Administration and Servicing Fees:

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 0.10% of average daily net assets of the Fund. Amounts incurred from for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Administration fees.

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. Amounts incurred for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Compliance fees.

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 Fund 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. Amounts incurred for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Sub-Administration fees.

Transfer Agency Fees:

Victory Capital Transfer Agency, Inc. ("VCTA"), provides transfer agency services to the Fund. Transfer agent's fees for the Fund are paid monthly based on a fee accrued daily at an annualized rate of 0.15% of average daily net assets, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Transfer Agent fees.

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. VCTA provides FIS Investor Services LLC a fee for providing these services.

Distributor/Underwriting Services:

Victory Capital Services, 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. Effective June 30, 2020, the Distributor's name was changed from Victory Capital Advisers, Inc.

Other Fees:

Citibank serves as the Fund's custodian.

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

The Adviser has entered into an expense limitation agreement with the Fund until at least July 31, 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 the Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit . 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. As of September 30, 2020, the expense limit (excluding voluntary waivers) is 0.56%.

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.

Amendment #1 to the expense limitation agreement was effective March 23, 2020. Under this amendment, the Adviser agreed to further reimburse fees in excess of the Fund's expense limit agreement of 0.56% dated July 1, 2019. These voluntary reductions, to the extent necessary, are to maintain a certain minimum net yield of the Fund. Under this agreement to reimburse additional fees, 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, to the extent any repayments would not cause the Fund's net yield to fall below the Fund's minimum yield at the time of: (a) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (b) the expense limit in effect at the time of the extra waiver. As of September 30, 2020, the following amounts were available to be repaid to the Adviser (amounts in thousands). The Fund has not recorded any amounts available to be repaid as a liability due to an assessment that such repayment is not probable at September 30, 2020.

4. Risks:

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

Global economies and financial markets are increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibilities that conditions in one country or region might adversely affect issuers in another country or region. Geopolitical and other risks, including war, terrorism, trade disputes, political or economic dysfunction within some nations, public health crises and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods, may add to instability in world economies and markets generally. Changes in trade policies and international trade agreements could affect the economies of many countries in unpredictable ways. Epidemics and/or pandemics, such as the coronavirus (or COVID-19), may result in, among other things, closing borders, disruptions to healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and consumer activity, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The impact may be short-term or may last for extended periods.

The COVID-19 pandemic, which has spread rapidly across the world, has led and will continue to lead for an unknown period of time to disruptions in local, regional, national and global markets and economies. Among other things, the outbreak has resulted in, and until fully resolved is likely to continue to result in, among other things (1) government imposition of various forms of "stay at home" orders and the closing of "non-essential" businesses, resulting in significant disruption to the businesses of many issuers as well as lay-offs of employees: (2) increased requests by issuers of debt instruments for amendments and waivers of agreements to avoid default and increased defaults: (3) volatility and disruption of markets, including greater volatility in pricing and spreads; and (4) rapidly evolving proposals and/or actions by state and federal governments to address problems being experienced by the markets and by businesses and the economy in general.

You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. The Fund may impose a fee upon the sale of your shares or may temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares if the Fund's liquidity falls below required minimums because of certain market conditions or other factors. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") or any other government agency. The Fund's sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the Fund at any time.

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.

The Fund also is subject to the possibility that the value of its investments will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates, changes in supply of and demand for tax-exempt securities, or other market factors.

Decisions by the U.S. Federal Reserve (also known as the "Fed") regarding interest rate and monetary policy, which can be difficult to predict and sometimes change direction suddenly in response to economic and market events, can have a significant effect on the value of fixed-income securities as well as the overall strength of the U.S. economy. Precise interest rate predictions are difficult to make, and interest rates may change unexpectedly and dramatically in response to extreme changes in market or economic conditions. As a result, the value of fixed- income-securities may vary widely under certain market conditions.

5. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:

Line of Credit:

For the six months ended September 30, 2020, the Victory Funds Complex participated in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 29, 2020, with a termination date of June 28, 2021. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex may 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, (herein, the "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. For the six months ended September 30, 2020, Citibank received 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. Effective June 29, 2020, under an amended Line of Credit agreement, Citibank will also receive an annual upfront fee of 0.10% on the $300 million committed line of credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex will pay a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Interest charged to each Fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Line of credit fees.

The Fund had no borrowings under the Line of Credit agreement during the six months ended September 30, 2020.

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

The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (deficit) will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending March 31, 2021.

During the most recent tax year ended March 31, 2020, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards, for federal income tax purposes.

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information

Proxy Voting:

Information regarding the policies and procedures the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling (800) 539-3863. The information is also included in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Information relating to how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent 12 months ended June 30 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments:

The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. Forms N-PORT are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

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 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 April 1, 2020, through September 30, 2020.

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.

Portfolio Ratings Mix:

September 30, 2020

(% 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.

*  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.

**  For the period beginning July 1, 2019, the amount of any waivers or reimbursements and the amount of any recoupment is calculated without regard to the impact of any performance adjustment to the Fund's management fee.

^  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)  Not annualized for periods less than one year.

(b)  Annualized for periods less than one year.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2020
 

  (Unaudited)  

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 Tax Exempt Short-Term Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers three classes of shares: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A shares. The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.

Effective June 29, 2020, the Fund's Institutional Shares commenced operations and the Adviser Shares were redesignated Class A shares and became subject to a front-end sales charge.

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.

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 generally accepted accounting principles 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.

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

USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements — continued

  (Unaudited)  

Portfolio securities listed or traded on securities exchanges, including exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), are valued at the closing price on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, if available, or at the Nasdaq 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 are typically 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 are typically categorized as Level 2 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 are typically 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 September 30, 2020, based upon the three levels defined above, is included in the table below while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments (amounts in thousands):

For the six months ended September 30, 2020, there were no transfers in or out of the Level 3 fair value hierarchy.

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 NAV. 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 on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments.

Municipal Obligations:

The values of municipal obligations can fluctuate and may be affected by adverse tax, legislative, or political changes, and by financial developments affecting municipal issuers. Payment of municipal obligations may depend on a relatively limited source of revenue, resulting in greater credit risk. Future changes in federal tax laws or the activity of an issuer may adversely affect the tax-exempt status of municipal obligations.

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.

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 March 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 years, which includes the current fiscal tax year end). 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, 12b-1 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. For the six months ended September 30, 2020, the Fund engaged in the following securities transactions with affiliated funds, which resulted in the following net realized gains (losses) (amounts in thousands):

4. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties:

Investment Advisory Fees:

Investment advisory services are provided to the Fund by Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or 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 0.28% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Investment Advisory fees.

Effective July 1, 2019, no performance adjustments were made for the periods beginning July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020. Only performance beginning as of July 1, 2019, and thereafter is utilized in calculating future performance adjustments.

The performance adjustment for each share class is accrued daily and calculated monthly by comparing the each class' performance to that of the Lipper Short Municipal Debt Funds Index. The Lipper Short Municipal Debt Funds Index tracks the total return performance of funds within the Lipper Short Municipal Debt Funds category.

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 Lipper 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 the 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.


27


USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements — continued
September 30, 2020
 

  (Unaudited)  

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

For the period July 1, 2020, to September 30, 2020, performance adjustments for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares were $46, and less than $1 thousand, respectively. There were no performance adjustments for Class A shares for the period July 1, 2020, through September 30, 2020. For both Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, the performance adjustment were less than 0.01% of average daily net assets.

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. 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 six months ended September 30, 2020, the Fund had no subadvisers.

Administration and Servicing Fees:

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 of the Fund Shares, and Class A shares, 0.10% of average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares, respectively. Amounts incurred for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Administration fees.

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. Amounts incurred for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Compliance fees.

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 Fund 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. Amounts incurred for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Sub-Administration fees.

Transfer Agency Fees:

Victory Capital Transfer Agency, Inc. ("VCTA"), 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 Class A shares are paid monthly based on a fee accrued daily at an annualized rate of 0.10%, of average daily net assets, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Transfer Agent fees.

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. VCTA provides FIS Investor Services LLC a fee for providing these services.

Distributor/Underwriting Services:

Victory Capital Services, 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. Effective June 30, 2020, the Distributor's name was changed from Victory Capital Advisers, Inc. Pursuant to the Distribution and Service Plans adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Distributor may receive a monthly distribution and service fee, at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares. The distribution and service fees paid to the Distributor may be used by the Distributor to pay for activity primarily intended to result in the sale of Class A shares. Amounts incurred and paid to the Distributor for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as 12b-1 fees.

In addition, the Distributor is entitled to receive commission on sales of the Class A shares of the Fund. For the six months ended September 30, 2020, the Distributor didn't receive any commissions.

Other Fees:

Citibank serves as the Fund's custodian.

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

The Adviser has entered into an expense limitation agreement with the Fund until at least July 31, 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. As of September 30, 2020, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) are 0.51%, 0.47%, and 0.75% for the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A 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 September 30, 2020, the following amounts were available to be repaid to the Adviser (amounts in thousands). The Fund has not recorded any amounts available to be repaid as a liability due to an assessment that such repayment is not probable at September 30, 2020.

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 six months ended September 30, 2020.

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.

Global economies and financial markets are increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibilities that conditions in one country or region might adversely affect issuers in another country or region. Geopolitical and other risks, including war, terrorism, trade disputes, political or economic dysfunction within some nations, public health crises and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods, may add to instability in world economies

and markets generally. Changes in trade policies and international trade agreements could affect the economies of many countries in unpredictable ways. Epidemics and/or pandemics, such as the coronavirus (or COVID-19), may result in, among other things, closing borders, disruptions to healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and consumer activity, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The impact may be short-term or may last for extended periods.

The COVID-19 pandemic, which has spread rapidly across the world, has led and will continue to lead for an unknown period of time to disruptions in local, regional, national and global markets and economies. Among other things, the outbreak has resulted in, and until fully resolved is likely to continue to result in, among other things (1) government imposition of various forms of "stay at home" orders and the closing of "non-essential" businesses, resulting in significant disruption to the businesses of many issuers as well as lay-offs of employees: (2) increased requests by issuers of debt instruments for amendments and waivers of agreements to avoid default and increased defaults: (3) volatility and disruption of markets, including greater volatility in pricing and spreads; and (4) rapidly evolving proposals and/or actions by state and federal governments to address problems being experienced by the markets and by businesses and the economy in general.

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.

The value of a debt security or other income-producing security changes in response to various factors, including, for example, market-related factors (such as changes in interest rates or changes in the risk appetite of investors generally) and changes in the actual or perceived ability of the issuer (or of issuers generally) to meet its (or their) obligations.

Other factors that may affect the value of debt securities, include, among others, public health crises and responses by governments and companies to such crises. These and other events may affect the creditworthiness of the issuer of a debt security and may impair an issuers ability to timely meet its debt obligations as they come due.

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 tax-exempt 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; conversely, when interest rates fall, bond prices rise. The price volatility of a bond also depends on its duration. Generally, the longer the duration of a bond, the greater is its sensitivity to interest rates. To compensate investors for this higher interest rate risk, bonds with longer durations generally offer higher yields than bonds with shorter durations. The ability of an issuer of a debt security to repay principal prior to a security's maturity can increase the security's sensitivity to interest rate changes.

Decisions by the U.S. Federal Reserve (also known as the "Fed") regarding interest rate and monetary policy, which can be difficult to predict and sometimes change direction suddenly in response to economic and market events, can have a significant effect on the value of fixed-income securities as well as the overall strength of the U.S. economy. Precise interest rate predictions are difficult to make, and interest rates may change unexpectedly and dramatically in response to extreme changes in market or economic conditions. As a result, the value of fixed- income securities may vary widely under certain market conditions.

Many debt securities, derivatives and other financial instruments, including some of the Fund's investment, use the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") as the reference or benchmark rate for variable interest rate calculations. However, the use of LIBOR started to come under pressure following manipulation allegations in 2012. Despite increased regulation and other corrective actions since that time, concerns have arisen regarding its viability as a benchmark, due largely to reduced activity in

  (Unaudited)  

the financial markets that it measures. In June 2017, the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a group of large U.S. banks working with the Federal Reserve, announced its selection of a new Secured Overnight Funding Rate ("SOFR"), which is intended to be a broad measure of secured overnight U.S. Treasury repo rates, as an appropriate replacement for LIBOR. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York began publishing the SOFR in 2018, expecting that it could be used on a voluntary basis in new instruments and transactions. Bank working groups and regulators in other countries have suggested other alternatives for their markets, including the Sterling Overnight Interbank Average Rate ("SONIA") in England. In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA"), the United Kingdom financial regulatory body, announced that after 2021 it will cease its active encouragement of UK banks to provide the quotations needed to sustain LIBOR. That announcement suggests that LIBOR may cease to be published after that time. The roughly three-year period until the end of 2021 is expected to be enough time for market participants to transition to the use of a different benchmark for both new and existing securities and transactions. Various financial industry groups have begun planning for that transition, but there are obstacles to converting certain longer-term securities and transactions to a new benchmark. Transition planning is at an early stage, and neither the effect of the transition process nor its ultimate success can yet be known. The transition process might lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets that currently rely on the LIBOR to determine interest rates. It could also lead to a reduction in the value of some LIBOR-based investments and reduce the effectiveness of new hedges placed against existing LIBOR-based instruments. Since the usefulness of LIBOR as a benchmark could deteriorate during the transition period, these effects could occur before the end of 2021.

6. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:

Line of Credit:

For the six months ended September 30, 2020, the Victory Funds Complex participated in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 29, 2020, with a termination date of June 28, 2021. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex may 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, (herein, the "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. For the six months ended September 30, 2020, Citibank received 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. Effective June 29, 2020, under an amended Line of Credit agreement, Citibank will also receive an annual upfront fee of 0.10% on the $300 million committed line of credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex will pay a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Interest charged to each Fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Line of credit fees.

The Fund had no borrowings under the Line of Credit agreement during the six months ended September 30, 2020.

Interfund Lending:

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 Funds 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, if any, during the period is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Interfund lending fees. As a Lender, interest earned by the Fund, if any, during the period is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Income on Interfund lending.

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

The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (deficit) will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending March 31, 2021.

During the most recent tax year ended March 31, 2020, the Fund had net capital loss carryforwards as shown in the table below (amounts in thousands). It is unlikely that the Board will authorize a distribution of capital gains realized in the future until the capital loss carryforwards have been used.

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information

Proxy Voting:

Information regarding the policies and procedures the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling (800) 539-3863. The information is also included in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Information relating to how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent 12 months ended June 30 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments:

The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. Forms N-PORT are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Expense Examples

As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases; 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 April 1, 2020, through September 30, 2020 (unless noted otherwise).

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.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The USAA Mutual Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the "LRMP") as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration the Fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions; its short and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other liquidity management tools such as available funding sources including the Victory Funds Complex Interfund Lending Facility and Line of Credit (discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements). The USAA Mutual Funds' Board of Trustees approved the appointment of the Fund's investment adviser, Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital"), as the administrator of the LRMP. At an in-person meeting held on February 26, 2020, Victory Capital provided an oral and written report to the Trustees on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP during the previous year.

Victory Capital manages liquidity risks associated with the Fund's investments by monitoring, among other things, cash and cash equivalents, any use of derivatives, the concentration of investments, the appropriateness of the Fund's investment strategy, and by classifying every fund investment as either highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid or illiquid on at least a monthly basis. To assist with the classification of Fund investments, Victory Capital has retained a third-party provider of liquidity evaluation services. This provider determines preliminary liquidity classifications for all portfolio holdings based upon portfolio-level data and certain assumptions provided by Victory Capital. Victory Capital reviews the preliminary liquidity classifications, and, when appropriate, considers other information including input from the Fund's portfolio managers (including the portfolio managers employed by any investment sub-advisers) in determining final liquidity classifications.

The report from Victory Capital concluded that the Fund did not experience any significant liquidity challenges during the covered period, and the Fund's LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage its liquidity risk. The report also concluded that the LRMP continues to operate adequately and effectively to enable Victory Capital to oversee and manage liquidity risk and ensure the Fund is able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution to the remaining investors' interest in the Fund. During the review period, the Fund's portfolio consisted primarily of highly liquid investments, which are defined as cash and any investments reasonably expected to be converted to cash in current market conditions in three business days or less without significantly changing the market value of the investment. Therefore, the Fund has not adopted a Highly Liquid Investment Minimum. The Fund's investments were below the limitation on illiquid investments during the review period. Additionally, Victory Capital indicated that no events occurred that would require the filing of Form N-LIQUID and recommended no material changes to the LRMP.

(% 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.

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

**  For the period beginning July 1, 2019, the amount of any waivers or reimbursements and the amount of any recoupment is calculated without regard to the impact of any performance adjustment to the Fund's management fee.

^  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)  Not annualized for periods less than one year.

(b)  Annualized for periods less than one year.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2020
 

  (Unaudited)

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 Virginia Bond Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers three classes of shares: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A shares. The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.

Effective June 29, 2020, the Fund's Institutional Shares commenced operations and the Adviser Shares were redesignated Class A shares and became subject to a front-end sales charge.

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.

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 generally accepted accounting principles 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.

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

  (Unaudited)

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 are typically categorized as Level 2 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 are typically 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 September 30, 2020, based upon the three levels defined above, is included in the table below while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments (amounts in thousands):

For the six months ended September 30, 2020, there were no transfers in or out of the Level 3 fair value hierarchy.

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 NAV. 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 on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments.

Municipal Obligations:

The values of municipal obligations can fluctuate and may be affected by adverse tax, legislative, or political changes, and by financial developments affecting municipal issuers. Payment of municipal obligations may depend on a relatively limited source of revenue, resulting in greater credit risk. Future changes in federal tax laws or the activity of an issuer may adversely affect the tax-exempt status of municipal obligations.

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.

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 March 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 years, which includes the current fiscal tax year end). 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, 12b-1 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. For the six months ended September 30, 2020, the Fund engaged in the following securities transactions with affiliated funds, which resulted in the following net realized gains (losses) (amounts in thousands):

4. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties:

Investment Advisory Fees:

Investment advisory services are provided to the Fund by Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or 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 rates of 0.50% of the first $50 million of the Fund's average daily net assets, 0.40% of that portion of average daily net assets over $50 million but not over $100 million, and 0.30% of that portion of the Fund's average daily net assets over $100 million. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Investment Advisory fees.

Effective July 1, 2019, no performance adjustments were made for the periods beginning July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020. Only performance beginning as of July 1, 2019, and thereafter is utilized in calculating future performance adjustments.

The performance adjustment for each share class is accrued daily and calculated monthly by comparing each class' performance to that of the Lipper Virginia Municipal Debt Funds Index. The Lipper Virginia Municipal Debt Funds Index tracks the total return performance of funds within the Lipper Virginia Municipal Debt Funds category.

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 Lipper 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 the 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 Virginia Municipal Debt Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.

For the period July 1, 2020, to September 30, 2020, performance adjustments for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A shares were $(77), less than $(1), and $(2) thousand, respectively. For the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A shares, the performance adjustments were (0.02)%, Less than (0.01)%, and (0.02)% of average daily net assets, respectively.

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. 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 six months ended September 30, 2020, the Fund had no subadvisers.

Administration and Servicing Fees:

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 Class A shares, 0.10% of average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares, respectively. Amounts incurred for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Administration fees.

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. Amounts incurred for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Compliance fees.

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 Fund 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. Amounts incurred for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Sub-Administration fees.

Transfer Agency Fees:

Victory Capital Transfer Agency, Inc. ("VCTA"), 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 Class A shares are paid monthly based on a fee accrued daily at an annualized rate of 0.10%, of average daily net assets, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Transfer Agent fees.

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. VCTA provides FIS Investor Services LLC a fee for providing these services.

Distributor/Underwriting Services:

Victory Capital Services, 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. Effective June 30, 2020, the Distributor's name was changed from Victory Capital Advisers, Inc. Pursuant to the Distribution and Service Plans adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Distributor may receive a monthly distribution and service fee, at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares. The distribution and service fees paid to the Distributor may be used by the Distributor to pay for activity primarily intended to result in the sale of Class A shares. Amounts incurred and paid to the Distributor for the six months ended September 30, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as 12b-1 fees.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  (Unaudited)

In addition, the Distributor is entitled to receive commission on sales of the Class A shares of the Fund. For the six months ended September 30, 2020, the Distributor received approximately less than $1 thousand from commissions earned on sales of Class A shares of the Fund.

Other Fees:

Citibank serves as the Fund's custodian.

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

The Adviser has entered into an expense limitation agreement with the Fund until at least July 31, 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. As of September 30, 2020, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) are 0.54%, 0.50%, and 0.80% for the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A 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 September 30, 2020, the following amounts were available to be repaid to the Adviser (amounts in thousands). The Fund has not recorded any amounts available to be repaid as a liability due to an assessment that such repayment is not probable at September 30, 2020.

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 six months ended September 30, 2020.

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.

Global economies and financial markets are increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibilities that conditions in one country or region might adversely affect issuers in another country or region. Geopolitical and other risks, including war, terrorism, trade disputes, political or economic dysfunction within some nations, public health crises and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods, may add to instability in world economies and markets generally. Changes in trade policies and international trade agreements could affect the economies of many countries in unpredictable ways. Epidemics and/or pandemics, such as the coronavirus (or COVID-19), may result in, among other things, closing borders, disruptions to healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and consumer activity, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The impact may be short-term or may last for extended periods.

The COVID-19 pandemic, which has spread rapidly across the world, has led and will continue to lead for an unknown period of time to disruptions in local, regional, national and global markets and economies. Among other things, the outbreak has resulted in, and until fully resolved is likely to continue


23


USAA Mutual Funds Trust

  Notes to Financial Statements — continued
September 30, 2020
 

  (Unaudited)

to result in, among other things (1) government imposition of various forms of "stay at home" orders and the closing of "non-essential" businesses, resulting in significant disruption to the businesses of many issuers as well as lay-offs of employees: (2) increased requests by issuers of debt instruments for amendments and waivers of agreements to avoid default and increased defaults: (3) volatility and disruption of markets, including greater volatility in pricing and spreads; and (4) rapidly evolving proposals and/or actions by state and federal governments to address problems being experienced by the markets and by businesses and the economy in general.

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.

The value of a debt security or other income-producing security changes in response to various factors, including, for example, market-related factors (such as changes in interest rates or changes in the risk appetite of investors generally) and changes in the actual or perceived ability of the issuer (or of issuers generally) to meet its (or their) obligations.

Other factors that may affect the value of debt securities, include, among others, public health crises and responses by governments and companies to such crises. These and other events may affect the creditworthiness of the issuer of a debt security and may impair an issuers ability to timely meet its debt obligations as they come due.

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 tax-exempt 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; conversely, when interest rates fall, bond prices rise. The price volatility of a bond also depends on its duration. Generally, the longer the duration of a bond, the greater is its sensitivity to interest rates. To compensate investors for this higher interest rate risk, bonds with longer durations generally offer higher yields than bonds with shorter durations. The ability of an issuer of a debt security to repay principal prior to a security's maturity can increase the security's sensitivity to interest rate changes.

Decisions by the U.S. Federal Reserve (also known as the "Fed") regarding interest rate and monetary policy, which can be difficult to predict and sometimes change direction suddenly in response to economic and market events, can have a significant effect on the value of fixed-income securities as well as the overall strength of the U.S. economy. Precise interest rate predictions are difficult to make, and interest rates may change unexpectedly and dramatically in response to extreme changes in market or economic conditions. As a result, the value of fixed- income securities may vary widely under certain market conditions.

6. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:

Line of Credit:

For the six months ended September 30, 2020, the Victory Funds Complex participated in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 29, 2020, with a termination date of June 28, 2021. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex may 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, (herein, the "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. For the six months ended September 30, 2020, Citibank received 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. Effective June 29, 2020, under an amended Line of Credit agreement, Citibank will also receive an annual upfront fee of 0.10% on the $300 million committed line of credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex will pay a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Interest charged to each Fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Line of credit fees.

The Fund had no borrowings under the Line of Credit agreement during the six months ended September 30, 2020.

Interfund Lending:

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 Funds 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, if any, during the period is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Interfund lending fees. As a Lender, interest earned by the Fund, if any, 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 six months ended September 30, 2020.

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

The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (deficit) will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending March 31, 2021.

At March 31, 2020, the Fund had net capital loss carryforwards as shown in the table below (amounts in thousands). It is unlikely that the Board will authorize a distribution of capital gains realized in the future until the capital loss carryforwards have been used.

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information

Proxy Voting:

Information regarding the policies and procedures the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling (800) 539-3863. The information is also included in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Information relating to how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent 12 months ended June 30 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments:

The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. Forms N-PORT are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Expense Examples

As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases; 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 April 1, 2020, through September 30, 2020 (unless noted otherwise).

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.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The USAA Mutual Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the "LRMP") as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration the Fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions; its short and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other liquidity management tools such as available funding sources including the Victory Funds Complex Interfund Lending Facility and Line of Credit (discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements). The USAA Mutual Funds' Board of Trustees approved the appointment of the Fund's investment adviser, Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital"), as the administrator of the LRMP. At an in-person meeting held on February 26, 2020, Victory Capital provided an oral and written report to the Trustees on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP during the previous year.

Victory Capital manages liquidity risks associated with the Fund's investments by monitoring, among other things, cash and cash equivalents, any use of derivatives, the concentration of investments, the appropriateness of the Fund's investment strategy, and by classifying every fund investment as either highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid or illiquid on at least a monthly basis. To assist with the classification of Fund investments, Victory Capital has retained a third-party provider of liquidity evaluation services. This provider determines preliminary liquidity classifications for all portfolio holdings based upon portfolio-level data and certain assumptions provided by Victory Capital. Victory Capital reviews the preliminary liquidity classifications, and, when appropriate, considers other information including input from the Fund's portfolio managers (including the portfolio managers employed by any investment sub-advisers) in determining final liquidity classifications.

The report from Victory Capital concluded that the Fund did not experience any significant liquidity challenges during the covered period, and the Fund's LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage its liquidity risk. The report also concluded that the LRMP continues to operate adequately and effectively to enable Victory Capital to oversee and manage liquidity risk and ensure the Fund is able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution to the remaining investors' interest in the Fund. During the review period, the Fund's portfolio consisted primarily of highly liquid investments, which are defined as cash and any investments reasonably expected to be converted to cash in current market conditions in three business days or less without significantly changing the market value of the investment. Therefore, the Fund has not adopted a Highly Liquid Investment Minimum. The Fund's investments were below the limitation on illiquid investments during the review period. Additionally, Victory Capital indicated that no events occurred that would require the filing of Form N-LIQUID and recommended no material changes to the LRMP.
