Dear Shareholder,
When we look back on 2020, we will undoubtedly remember it as an extraordinary year. A year ago, no one could have imagined the unusual events that would challenge us personally, professionally, and collectively as a nation. But in retrospect, the trajectory of financial markets over the past year was nothing short of extraordinary.
The year began with rudimentary worries, such as economic growth rates, trade deals, and interest rates. But a novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") and the subsequent worldwide spread of COVID-19 became an unprecedented event. To combat the pandemic, governments everywhere issued austere shelter-in-place orders, and the global economy slowed markedly. Equity markets sold off sharply in March and April, and second quarter domestic GDP contracted by an alarming annual rate of 31.4%, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce.
It's no surprise that so many investors flocked to the perceived safety of U.S. Treasurys. Meanwhile, liquidity evaporated (for a short spell) in many other segments of the fixed-income market, including higher-yielding credits and municipal bonds. The outlook was tenuous, and credit spreads widened while prices declined for most securities perceived to be higher risk.
A response, however, came swiftly. The U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") and other monetary authorities worldwide leapt into action—cutting interest rates, (re)starting quantitative easing and, in the case of the Fed, launching an array of programs to provide liquidity to stabilize fixed-income markets. The U.S. government also stepped up to provide fiscal stimulus in the form of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act).
It was impressive how quickly those actions helped end the stock market's free fall and restore order across much of the fixed-income universe. The rebound was almost as robust as the drawdown, and third quarter GDP (the most recent finalized data available) grew at a 33.4% annualized rate, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Late in the year, markets were alternately fueled and roiled by a contentious election season, growing optimism for an effective vaccine, and a fluid debate regarding the need for additional fiscal stimulus. Ultimately, stocks were propelled higher in the fourth quarter when it became clear that Congress would provide another dose of fiscal stimulus in the form of direct payments, more unemployment insurance, and additional aid to businesses.
Through all the unprecedented events and extreme volatility, the S&P 500® Index registered an impressive annual return of 18.40% for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2020. Meanwhile, the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasurys declined 95 basis points over the same period, reflecting both the Fed's interest rate cuts and its pledge to keep rates low for longer. The yield on 10-Year U.S. Treasurys was 0.93% as of December 31, 2020.
While markets endured and performed admirably during 2020, perhaps the key takeaway is that the unexpected can and will happen. That's why it's important to remain focused on your long-term investment goals and avoid making emotional decisions.

• What were the market conditions over the reporting period?
In an unprecedented 2020, investors witnessed a tale of two markets.
2020 started strong, with the positive market momentum carrying over from 2019. By the end of February, however, there was a historic global financial market panic selloff as the spread of COVID-19 caused a sharp decline in expectations for economic growth and corporate earnings.
The U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") quickly stepped into the market panic and provided an armada of liquidity programs, such as quantitative easing, which resulted in a rebound in investor confidence. This return of confidence led an equally remarkable rally through the rest of the year, despite some periods of fear and concerns around a resurgence of the virus. The remainder of the year brought a dramatic reversal from the difficult environment that characterized the first three months. While COVID-19 cases continued to rise, particularly in the final two weeks of June, investors grew increasingly confident that the economy would be able to recover from its sharp downturn led by a series of better-than-expected economic reports coupled with the aggressive response by the Fed. In addition to reiterating its commitment to keep short-term interest rates near zero for an extended period, the Fed announced the direct purchase of both individual bonds and exchange-traded bond funds.
Despite ongoing uncertainty regarding the economic outlook, investors continued to display a robust appetite for risk. The near-zero interest rate policy of the Fed, together with the ultra-low rates in place in other major world economies, as well as greater appetite for fiscal spending, was a key catalyst for market performance.
Investors' appetite for risk improved considerably in early November, when the approval of vaccines for COVID-19 raised expectations that the world economy could gradually return to normal in 2021. The conclusion of the U.S. elections, which removed a source of uncertainty that had depressed performance in September and October, was an additional tailwind. The markets were also aided by continued indications that the Fed and other central banks would maintain their highly accommodative policies indefinitely, not least an agreement on a new round of U.S. fiscal stimulus further cheered investors in late December. Together, these developments outweighed negative headlines surrounding renewed lockdowns and the persistence of COVID-19.
As the dust settled on a tumultuous and historic year, global financial markets reflected the optimism of a reflating global economic environment in a post-pandemic future. All the major global equity market indexes had posted strong returns, with bonds following suit. In the United States, large-cap value stocks had a very strong rebound in the fourth quarter in anticipation of economic reflation. However, those returns were still dwarfed by the enormous annual returns posted by large-cap growth stocks, led by the technology and consumer discretionary 'stay-at-home' stocks.

Managers' Commentary (continued)
• How did the USAA Target Retirement Funds (the "Funds") perform during the reporting period?
Each Fund's investment objective is to provide capital appreciation and current income consistent with its current investment allocation. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the total returns for each of the Funds are shown below, along with the return of the relevant benchmark index:
USAA Target Retirement Funds | S&P Target Date Indices | MSCI All- Country World Index | |||||||||||||
USAA Target Retirement Income Fund | 8.73 | % | 8.81 | % | — | ||||||||||
USAA Target Retirement 2030 Fund | 9.25 | % | 11.91 | % | — | ||||||||||
USAA Target Retirement 2040 Fund | 9.22 | % | 13.37 | % | — | ||||||||||
USAA Target Retirement 2050 Fund | 10.52 | % | 13.86 | % | 16.25 | % | |||||||||
USAA Target Retirement 2060 Fund | 10.17 | % | 13.99 | % | 16.25 | % |
• What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?
In an unprecedented year, all five of the USAA Target Retirement Funds had solid returns during 2020. The Funds performed as expected, with returns in between those of stocks and bonds. The larger gains for the longer-dated portfolios reflect the progressively higher weighting in equities as the target dates of the five funds increase.
The results of the Funds' underlying drivers mirrored the overall investment backdrop. The equity portfolio experienced gains, with larger increases for domestic equities versus the developed international and emerging markets. Holdings in investment-grade, fixed- income securities added value in the aggregate, with positions in short-term debt and government issues posting gains.
We maintained a steady approach through the turbulence of the past year. As always, we sought to provide broad exposure to the global financial markets, but we also overweighted (took larger relative positions) or underweighted (took lower relative positions) in certain asset classes based on valuations and fundamentals. In this vein, we continued to tilt the portfolios toward the international markets — both developed and emerging — versus the United States. We believe this positioning is warranted from a longer-term standpoint due to the more attractive valuations and greater latitude for better-than-expected economic growth outside of the United States.
We will continue to remain true to our longstanding strategy of using fundamentals and valuations to construct portfolios designed to deliver favorable results over a full market cycle.
Thank you for allowing us to assist you with your investment needs.

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 December 31, 2020 |
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 46 funds and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with no par value. Each Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.
The accompanying financial statements are those of the following five Funds (collectively, the "Funds" and individually, a "Fund"):
Funds (Legal Name) | Funds (Short Name) | ||||||
USAA Target Retirement Income Fund | Target Income Fund | ||||||
USAA Target Retirement 2030 Fund | Target 2030 Fund | ||||||
USAA Target Retirement 2040 Fund | Target 2040 Fund | ||||||
USAA Target Retirement 2050 Fund | Target 2050 Fund | ||||||
USAA Target Retirement 2060 Fund | Target 2060 Fund |
Each Fund is a "fund of funds" in that it invests in a selection of affiliated mutual funds and exchange- traded funds managed by the Funds' Adviser, Victory Capital Management Inc., an affiliate of the Fund.
On June 11, 2020, the Board of the Trust approved a Plan of Reorganization and Termination pursuant to which the USAA Target Retirement 2020 Fund would be reorganized with and into the USAA Target Retirement Income Fund in what would be a tax-free reorganization (the "Reorganization"). The Funds have the same investment objectives, substantially the same principal investment strategies, and the same principal risks. The Reorganization occurred on November 20, 2020. See Note 9 for additional information.
Each Fund may rely on certain Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") exemptive orders or rules that permit funds meeting various conditions to invest in an Exchange-Traded Fund ("ETF") in amounts exceeding limits set forth in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that would otherwise be applicable.
Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with 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 Funds follow the specialized accounting and reporting requirements under GAAP that are applicable to investment companies under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.
Investment Valuation:
The Funds record investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
32
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 |
The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Funds' investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities or interest rates applicable to those securities, etc.)
• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuation techniques are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with entering into those investments.
Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or 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 Funds' valuation policies and procedures, which are approved by the Board.
Portfolio securities listed or traded on securities exchanges, including Exchange-Traded Funds ("ETFs"), American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") and Rights, are valued at the closing price on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, if available, or 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.
Investments in the underlying affiliated Funds and other open-end investment companies, other than ETFs, are valued at their net asset value ("NAV") at the end of each business day and are typically categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
The underlying affiliated Funds have specific valuation procedures. In the event that price quotations or valuations are not readily available, are not reflective of market value, or a significant event has been recognized in relation to a security or class of securities, the securities are valued in good faith by the Committee in accordance with valuation procedures approved by the Board. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and the actual price realized from the sale of a security may differ materially from the fair value price. Valuing these securities at fair value is intended to cause the Fund's NAV to be more reliable than it otherwise would be.
A summary of the valuations as of December 31, 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 year ended December 31, 2020, there were no transfers in or out of the Level 3 fair value hierarchy.
Investment Companies:
Exchange-Traded Funds:
The Funds may invest in ETFs, the shares of which are bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and represents a portfolio of securities often designed to track the performance and dividend yield of a particular domestic or foreign market index. The Funds may purchase shares of an ETF to temporarily gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market while awaiting purchase of underlying securities. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track, although the lack of liquidity of an ETF could result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.
Open-End Funds:
The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the board of directors of the underlying funds.
Investment Transactions and Related Income:
Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Dividend income and capital gain distributions from the underlying affiliated funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discount. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.
Securities Lending:
The Funds, through a securities lending agreement with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), may lend securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. Borrowers are required to secure their loans for collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non-U.S. securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls associated with increases in the valuation of the securities loaned are cured the next business day once the shortfall exceeds $100 thousand. Collateral may be cash, U.S. government securities, or other securities as permitted by SEC guidelines.
34
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 |
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 Funds also earn a return from the collateral. The Funds pay Citibank various fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral and fees based on the investment income received from securities lending activities. Securities lending income (net of these fees) is disclosed on the Statement of Operations. Loans are terminable upon demand and the borrower must return the loaned securities within the lesser of one standard settlement period or five business days. Risks relating to securities-lending transactions include that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or return the securities when due, and that the value of the short-term investments will be less than the amount of cash collateral required to be returned to the borrower. The Funds' agreement with Citibank does not include master netting provisions. Non- cash collateral received by the Funds may not be sold or re-pledged, except to satisfy borrower default. Cash collateral is listed on each Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments and Financial Statements while non-cash collateral is not included. The following table (amounts in thousands) is a summary of the Fund's securities lending transactions as of December 31, 2020:
Value of Securities on Loan | Non-Cash Collateral | Cash Collateral | |||||||||||||
Target 2040 Fund | $ | 178 | $ | — | $ | 183 |
Federal Income Taxes:
It is each Fund's policy to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Fund has a tax year end of December 31.
Management of the Funds have reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax 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 Funds are charged to the Funds, while expenses that are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust, or jointly with an affiliated trust, are allocated among the respective funds in the Trust and/or affiliated trust based upon net assets or another appropriate basis.
3. Purchases and Sales:
Cost of purchases and proceeds from sales/maturities of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) for the year ended December 31, 2020, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

4. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties:
Investment Advisory Fees:
Investment advisory services are provided to the Funds by the Adviser, a New York corporation registered as an investment adviser with the SEC.

The CCO is an employee of the Adviser, which pays the compensation of the CCO and support staff. Funds in the Trust, Victory Variable Insurance Funds, Victory Portfolios, and Victory Portfolios II (collectively, the "Victory Funds Complex") in the aggregate, compensate the Adviser for these services. Amounts incurred during the year ended December 31, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Compliance fees.

The Adviser has entered into an expense limitation agreement with the Funds until at least June 30, 2023. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for each respective Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser.

36
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 |
the expense limits. As of December 31, 2020, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) are as follows:
In effect July 1, 2019 until June 30, 2023 | |||||||
Target Income Fund | 0.07 | % | |||||

Certain officers and/or interested trustees of the Funds are also officers and/or employees of the Adviser, Administrator, Sub-Administrator, Sub-Fund Accountant, Custodian and Distributor.
5. Risks:
The Funds may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
Geopolitical/Natural Disaster Risk — 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. Likewise, systemic market dislocations of the kind that occurred during the financial crisis that began in 2008, if repeated, would be highly disruptive to economies and markets, adversely affecting individual companies and industries, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of a Fund's investments. Some countries, including the United States, are adopting more protectionist trade policies and moving away from the tighter financial industry regulations that followed the 2008 financial crisis, which may also affect the value of a Fund's investments.
Political events within the United States at times have resulted, and may in the future result, in a shutdown of government services, which could negatively affect the U.S. economy, decrease the value of a Fund's investments, increase uncertainty in or impair the operation of the U.S. or other securities markets and degrade investor and consumer confidence, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree.
An outbreak of disease called COVID-19 has spread internationally. The transmission of COVID-19 and efforts to contain its spread have resulted in international, national and local border closings and other significant travel restrictions and disruptions, significant disruptions to business operations, supply chains and consumer activity, significant challenges in healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines and general concern and uncertainty. These negative impacts have caused significant volatility and declines in global financial markets, which have caused losses for Fund investors during and subsequent to period end. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may last for an extended period of time, and could result in a substantial economic downturn or recession. Public health crises may
37
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 |
exacerbate other pre-existing political, social, economic, market and financial risks. The extent of the impact to the financial performance of the Funds' investments will depend on future developments, including (i) the duration and spread of the outbreak, (ii) the restrictions and advisories, (iii) the effects on the financial markets, and (iv) the effects on the economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Affiliated Funds Risk — The risks of each Fund directly correspond to the risks of the underlying affiliated funds in which the Fund invests. By investing in the underlying affiliated funds, the Fund has exposure to the risk of many different areas of the market. The degree to which the risks described below apply to the Fund varies according to the Fund's asset allocation. For instance, the more the Fund is allocated to stock funds, the greater the risk associated with equity securities. The Funds are also subject to asset allocation risk (i.e., the risk that allocations will not produce the intended results) and to management risk (i.e., the risk that the selection of underlying affiliated funds will not produce the intended results).
Conflict of Interest Risk — In managing a Fund that invests in underlying affiliated funds, the Adviser may have conflicts of interest in allocating the Fund's assets among the various underlying affiliated funds. This is because the fees payable by some of the underlying affiliated funds to the Adviser and/or its affiliates are higher than the fees payable by other underlying affiliated funds, and because the Adviser also manages and administers the underlying affiliated funds.
Stock Market Risk — Overall stock market risks may affect the value of each 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.
Debt Securities Risk — The Fund may invest in underlying affiliated funds that invest in debt securities or other income-producing securities. 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.
6. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:
Line of Credit:
For the year ended December 31, 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, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with Victory Floating Rate Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the agreement is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended December 31, 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 presented on the Statements of Operations under Line of credit fee
The Funds did not utilize the Line of Credit during the year ended December 31, 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 Funds to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other Fund, that is permitted to participate in the Facility, 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, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund's borrowing restrictions. The interfund
38
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 |
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 each Fund during the period, if applicable, is presented on the Statements of Operations under Interest expense on interfund lending. As a Lender, interest earned by each Fund during the period, if applicable, is presented on the Statements of Operations under Interfund lending income.
The average borrowing and lending for the days outstanding and average interest rate for each Fund during the year ended December 31, 2020 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Borrower or Lender | Amount Outstanding at December 31, 2020 | Average Borrowing* | Days Borrowing Outstanding | Average Interest Rate* | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Target Income Fund | Borrower | $ | — | $ | 1,301 | 6 | 1.39 | % | $ | 1,909 |
* For the year ended December 31, 2020, based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding.
7. Federal Income Tax Information:
Distributions of net investment income, if any, are made quarterly by Target Income Fund and annually by each of the other Funds. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually by each Fund.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively, distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Funds may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
As of December 31, 2020, on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, reclassification adjustments were as follows(amounts in thousands):
Total Accumulated Earnings/(Loss) | Capital | ||||||||||
Target Income Fund | $ | (1,925 | ) | $ | 1,925 |
The tax character of distributions paid during the tax years ended, as noted below, were as follows (amounts in thousands)(total distributions paid may differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because, for tax purposes, dividends are recognized when actually paid).

9. Acquisition of USAA Target Retirement 2020 Fund:
On November 20, 2020, the USAA Target Retirement 2020 Fund was acquired by the USAA Target Retirement Income Fund pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization and Termination, which was approved by the Board on June 11, 2020. The Reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 44,513 thousand shares of the Fund (valued at $513,117 thousand) for 43,772 thousand shares of the USAA Target Retirement 2020 Fund (100% of the voting equity interests) outstanding on November 20, 2020. The reason for the Reorganization was to combine two funds with comparable investment objectives to create one larger fund with the potential for lower total operating expenses borne by shareholders. In addition, as disclosed in the Funds' prospectuses, once a Fund reaches its target date and its asset allocation is similar to the USAA Target Retirement Income Fund, the Board may reorganize the Fund
50
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 |
into the USAA Target Retirement Income Fund. The tax-free exchange of shares by the USAA Target Retirement Income Fund for the assets and liabilities of the USAA Target Retirement 2020 Fund (100% of the voting equity interest) on the date of the reorganization was as follows (amounts in thousands):
Shares Issued by Target Income Fund | Total Net Assets of the Target 2020 Fund | Merger Ratio | Prior to reorganization Total Net Assets of the Target Income Fund | After reorganization Total Net Assets of the Target Income Fund | |||||||||||||||
44,513 | $ | 513,117 | (b) | 1.02 | % | $ | 308,335 | (a) | $ | 821,452 |
(a) Includes undistributed net investment income of $5,414 thousand and unrealized appreciation on investments of $29,437 thousand with a fair value of $307,072 thousand and identified cost of $277,635 thousand.
(b) Includes $54,480 thousand of unrealized appreciation on investments.
The Reorganization was accounted for as an asset acquisition of the USAA Target Retirement 2020 Fund (the "Acquired Fund") by the USAA Target Retirement Income Fund (the "Acquiring Fund") in accordance with the asset acquisition method of accounting as detailed in ASC 805-50, Business Combinations — Related Issues. The fair value of the Reorganization consideration paid by the USAA Target Retirement Income Fund was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values as of the date of acquisition and did not give rise to goodwill. As a result of the reorganization, the Acquiring Fund is the legal and accounting survivor.
Assets received, and shares issued by the Target Retirement Income Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received by the Target Retirement Income Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the portfolio's realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable for tax purposes. The Statements of Operations, Statements of Changes in Net Assets and the Financial Highlights for the current period do not include any pre-merger activity of the Acquired Fund and prior reporting periods of the accounting survivor are not restated.
The pro forma results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020, assuming the reorganization had been completed on January 1, 2020 (the beginning of the annual period), are as follows (amounts in thousands):
Net investment income | $ | 21,813 | |||||
Net realized gain on investments | $ | 12,280 | |||||
Change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on investments | $ | 32,341 | |||||
Net increase in net assets resulting from operations | $ | 66,434 |

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA Target Retirement Income Fund, USAA Target Retirement 2030 Fund, USAA Target Retirement 2040 Fund, USAA Target Retirement 2050 Fund, and USAA Target Retirement 2060 Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of USAA Target Retirement Income Fund, USAA Target Retirement 2030 Fund, USAA Target Retirement 2040 Fund, USAA Target Retirement 2050 Fund, and USAA Target Retirement 2060 Fund (the "Funds") (five of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedules of portfolio investments, as of December 31, 2020, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds at December 31, 2020, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and their financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds' financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2020, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more Victory Capital investment companies since 1995.

Expense Examples
As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2020 through December 31, 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.

Considerations of the Board in Continuing the Investment Advisory Agreement
USAA Target Retirement Funds
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") held on December 10-11, 2020, the Board, including the Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Trust (the "Independent Trustees"), approved for an annual period the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") between the Trust and Victory Capital Management Inc. (the "Adviser") with respect to the each of Target Retirement Income Fund, Target Retirement 2020 Fund1, Target Retirement 2030 Fund, Target Retirement 2040 Fund, Target Retirement 2050 Fund and Target Retirement 2060 Fund (each, a "Fund" and together, the "Funds"). Prior to the December 10-11, 2020 meeting at which the Advisory Agreement was approved, the Independent Trustees also discussed and considered information regarding the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement at a meeting held on November 19, 2020.
In advance of the foregoing meetings, the Trustees received and considered a variety of information relating to the Advisory Agreement and the Adviser, and were given the opportunity to ask questions and request additional information from management. The information provided to the Board included, among other things: (i) a separate report prepared by an independent third party of mutual fund data, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Funds' investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable investment companies; (ii) information concerning the services rendered to the Funds, as well as information regarding the Adviser's revenues and costs of providing services to the Funds and compensation paid to affiliates of the Adviser; and (iii) information about the Adviser's operations and personnel. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees reviewed the proposed continuance of the Advisory Agreement with management and with experienced independent counsel retained by the Independent Trustees ("Independent Counsel") and received materials from such Independent Counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Funds in private sessions with Independent Counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
At each regularly scheduled meeting of the Board and its committees, the Board receives and reviews, among other things, information concerning the Funds' performance and related services provided by the Adviser. At the meeting at which the renewal of the Advisory Agreement is considered, particular focus is given to information concerning Fund performance, fees and total expenses as compared to comparable investment companies, and the Adviser's profitability with respect to the Funds. However, the Board noted that the evaluation process with respect to the Adviser is an ongoing one. In this regard, the Board's and its committees' consideration of the Advisory Agreement included information previously received at such meetings.
Advisory Agreement
After full consideration of a variety of factors, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Advisory Agreement. In approving the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors. Throughout their deliberations, the Independent Trustees were represented and assisted by Independent Counsel.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services — In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Adviser relating to its operations and personnel. The Board also took into account its knowledge of the Adviser's management and the quality of the performance of the Adviser's duties through Board meetings, discussions, and reports during the preceding year. The Board considered the fees paid to the Adviser and the services provided to the Funds by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, as well as other services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates under other agreements, and the personnel who provide these services. In addition to the investment

(Unaudited)
advisory services provided to the Funds, the Adviser and its affiliates provide administrative services, shareholder services, oversight of Fund accounting, marketing services, assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, and other services necessary for the operation of the Funds and the Trust.
The Board considered the scope of services provided by, and the undertakings required of, the Adviser in connection with those services, including, among other things, maintaining (i) its own and the Funds' compliance programs, (ii) risk management programs, (iii) liquidity risk management programs, and (iv) cybersecurity programs, each of which had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market, and other developments. The Board also considered the significant risks assumed by the Adviser in connection with the services provided to the Funds, including investment, operational, enterprise, litigation, regulatory and compliance risks.
The Board considered the Adviser's management style and the performance of the Adviser's duties under the Advisory Agreement. The Board considered the level and depth of knowledge of the Adviser, including the professional experience and qualifications of its senior and investment personnel, as well as current staffing levels. The Adviser's role in coordinating the activities of the Funds' other service providers was also considered. The Board also considered the Adviser's risk management processes. The Board considered the Adviser's financial condition and that it had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide the same scope and high quality of services under the Advisory Agreement. In reviewing the Advisory Agreement, the Board focused on the experience, resources, and strengths of the Adviser and its affiliates in managing the Funds, as well as the other funds in the Trust.
The Board also reviewed the compliance and administrative services provided to the Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates, including the Adviser's oversight of the Funds' day-to-day operations and oversight of Fund accounting. The Trustees, guided also by information obtained from their experiences as trustees of the Trust, also focused on the quality of the Adviser's compliance and administrative staff.
Expenses and Performance — In connection with its consideration of the Advisory Agreement, the Board evaluated the Funds' advisory fees and total expense ratios as compared to other open-end investment companies deemed to be comparable to the Funds as determined by the independent third party in its report. The Funds' expenses were compared to (i) a group of investment companies chosen by the independent third party to be comparable to the Funds based upon certain factors, including fund type, comparability of investment objective and classification, sales load type, asset size, and expense components (the "expense group") and (ii) a larger group of investment companies with the same investment classification/objective as the Fund regardless of asset size, excluding outliers (the "expense universe"). The Board noted that the Adviser does not receive a management fee from the Funds. The data indicated that each Fund's total expenses, which included underlying expenses and after any reimbursements, were below the median of its respective expense group and its respective expense universe. The Board also took into account the Adviser's current undertakings to maintain expense limitations for the Funds. The Board took into account the various other services provided to the Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates, and noted the high quality of services received by the Funds.
In considering the Funds' performance, the Board noted that it reviews at its regularly scheduled meetings information about the Funds' performance results. The Trustees also reviewed various comparative data provided to them in connection with their consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Funds' average annual total returns relative to their Lipper indexes and other mutual funds deemed to be in their peer groups by the independent third party in its report (the "performance universe"). Each Fund's performance universe consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional open-end investment companies with the same classification/objective as the Fund regardless of asset size or primary channel of distribution. This comparison indicated that, among other data, the performance of the Target Retirement Income Fund was above the average of its performance universe for the one-, five- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2020, and was below the average of its performance universe for the three-year period ended September 30, 2020, and was below its Lipper index for the one-, three, five- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2020; the performance of the Target Retirement 2020 Fund was below the average of its performance universe and its Lipper index for the one-, three- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2020, and was above the average of its performance universe and below its Lipper index for the five-year period ended September 30, 2020; the performance of each of the Target Retirement 2030 Fund, Target Retirement 2040 Fund and Target Retirement 2050 Fund was below the average of its performance universe and its Lipper index for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2020; and the performance of the
62

(Unaudited)
Target Retirement 2060 Fund was below the average of its performance universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended September 30, 2020 and below its Lipper index for the one- and three-year periods ended September 30, 2020. The Board took into account management's discussion of the Funds' performance, including certain differences in the Funds' investment approach as compared to the investment approaches used by other funds in the peer universes and the impact of market conditions on the Funds' performance relative to their peers.
Compensation and Profitability — The Board took into consideration that the Adviser does not receive a management fee from the Funds. The information considered by the Board included operating profit margin information for the Adviser's business as a whole. The Board also received and considered profitability information related to the revenues from the Funds. This information included a review of the methodology used in the allocation of certain costs to the Funds. In considering the profitability data with respect to each Fund, the Trustees noted that the Adviser reimbursed or waived a portion of each Fund's expenses. The Trustees reviewed the profitability of the Adviser's relationship with the Funds before tax expenses. The Board was also provided with a profitability analysis of other publicly traded asset managers prepared by an independent information service. In reviewing the overall profitability of each Fund to the Adviser, the Board also considered the fact that the Adviser and its affiliates provide shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Fund for which they receive compensation. The Board also took into account the Adviser's receipt of management fees from the underlying funds in which the Funds invest. The Board also considered the possible direct and indirect benefits to the Adviser from its relationship with the Trust, including that the Adviser may derive reputational and other benefits from its association with the Funds. The Trustees recognized that the Adviser should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits in exchange for the level of services it provides to the Funds and the entrepreneurial and other risks that it assumes as Adviser.
Economies of Scale — With respect to the consideration of any economies of scale to be realized by the Funds, the Board took into account that the Adviser does not receive any advisory fees under the Advisory Agreement. The Board took into account management's discussion of the Funds' current advisory fee structure. The Board also considered the fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements by the Adviser. The Board also considered the effect of the Funds' change in size, if any, on their performance and fees, noting that the Funds may realize other economies of scale if assets increase proportionally more than expenses. The Board determined that the current investment management fee structure was reasonable.
Conclusions — The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Advisory Agreement with the Adviser with respect to each Fund: (i) the Adviser has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Advisory Agreement; (ii) the Adviser maintains an appropriate compliance program; (iii) the performance of each Fund is reasonable in relation to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant indices in view of the Fund's investment approach and the Adviser is appropriately monitoring the Fund's performance; (iv) each Fund's advisory expenses are reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Adviser; and (v) the Adviser's and its affiliates' level of profitability from their relationship with each Fund is reasonable in light of the nature and high quality of services provided by the Adviser and the type of funds. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that continuation of the Advisory Agreement would be in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

Dear Shareholder,
When we look back on 2020, we will undoubtedly remember it as an extraordinary year. A year ago, no one could have imagined the unusual events that would challenge us personally, professionally, and collectively as a nation. But in retrospect, the trajectory of financial markets over the past year was nothing short of extraordinary.
The year began with rudimentary worries, such as economic growth rates, trade deals, and interest rates. But a novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") and the subsequent worldwide spread of COVID-19 became an unprecedented event. To combat the pandemic, governments everywhere issued austere shelter-in-place orders, and the global economy slowed markedly. Equity markets sold off sharply in March and April, and second quarter domestic GDP contracted by an alarming annual rate of 31.4%, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce.
It's no surprise that so many investors flocked to the perceived safety of U.S. Treasurys. Meanwhile, liquidity evaporated (for a short spell) in many other segments of the fixed-income market, including higher-yielding credits and municipal bonds. The outlook was tenuous, and credit spreads widened while prices declined for most securities perceived to be higher risk.
A response, however, came swiftly. The U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") and other monetary authorities worldwide leapt into action—cutting interest rates, (re)starting quantitative easing and, in the case of the Fed, launching an array of programs to provide liquidity to stabilize fixed-income markets. The U.S. government also stepped up to provide fiscal stimulus in the form of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act).
It was impressive how quickly those actions helped end the stock market's free fall and restore order across much of the fixed-income universe. The rebound was almost as robust as the drawdown, and third quarter GDP (the most recent finalized data available) grew at a 33.4% annualized rate, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Late in the year, markets were alternately fueled and roiled by a contentious election season, growing optimism for an effective vaccine, and a fluid debate regarding the need for additional fiscal stimulus. Ultimately, stocks were propelled higher in the fourth quarter when it became clear that Congress would provide another dose of fiscal stimulus in the form of direct payments, more unemployment insurance, and additional aid to businesses.
Through all the unprecedented events and extreme volatility, the S&P 500® Index registered an impressive annual return of 18.40% for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2020. Meanwhile, the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasurys declined 95 basis points over the same period, reflecting both the Fed's interest rate cuts and its pledge to keep rates low for longer. The yield on 10-Year U.S. Treasurys was 0.93% as of December 31, 2020.
While markets endured and performed admirably during 2020, perhaps the key takeaway is that the unexpected can and will happen. That's why it's important to remain focused on your long-term investment goals and avoid making emotional decisions.

2020 started strong, with the positive market momentum carrying over from 2019. By the end of February, however, there was a historic global financial market panic selloff as the spread of COVID-19 caused a sharp decline in expectations for economic growth and corporate earnings.
The U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) quickly stepped into the market panic and provided an armada of liquidity programs, such as quantitative easing, which resulted in a rebound in investor confidence. This return of confidence led an equally remarkable rally through the rest of the year, despite some periods of fear and concerns around a resurgence of the virus. The remainder of the year brought a dramatic reversal from the difficult environment that characterized the first three months. While COVID-19 cases continued to rise, particularly in the final two weeks of June, investors grew increasingly confident that the economy would be able to recover from its sharp downturn led by a series of better-than-expected economic reports coupled with the aggressive response by the Fed. In addition to reiterating its commitment to keep short-term interest rates near zero for an extended period, the Fed announced the direct purchase of both individual bonds and exchange-traded bond funds.
Despite ongoing uncertainty regarding the economic outlook, investors continued to display a robust appetite for risk. The near-zero interest rate policy of the Fed, together with the ultra-low rates in place in other major world economies, as well as greater appetite for fiscal spending, was a key catalyst for market performance.
Investors' appetite for risk improved considerably in early November, when the approval of vaccines for COVID-19 raised expectations that the world economy could gradually return to normal in 2021. The conclusion of the U.S. elections, which removed a source of uncertainty that had depressed performance in September and October, was an additional tailwind. The markets were also aided by continued indications that the Fed and other central banks would maintain their highly accommodative policies indefinitely, not least an agreement on a new round of U.S. fiscal stimulus further cheered investors in late December. Together, these developments outweighed negative headlines surrounding renewed lockdowns and the persistence of COVID-19.
As the dust settled on a tumultuous and historic year, global financial markets reflected the optimism of a reflating global economic environment in a post-pandemic future. All the major global equity market indexes had posted strong returns, with bonds following suit. In the United States, large-cap value stocks had a very strong rebound in the fourth

quarter in anticipation of economic reflation. However, those returns were still dwarfed by the enormous annual returns posted by large-cap growth stocks, led by the information technology and consumer discretionary 'stay-at-home' stocks.
• How did the USAA 500 Index Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?
The Fund has two share classes: Member Shares and Reward Shares. For the reporting period ended December 31, 2020, the Fund closely tracked its benchmark, the broad-based Victory US Large Cap 500 Index (the "Index") with the Member Shares and Reward Shares returning 21.22% and 21.35%, respectively, versus the Index, which returned 21.56%. The Index emphasizes large U.S. company stocks and is not available for direct investment.
• Please describe sector performance during the reporting period.
During the year, the Fund's strong absolute return was led by technology and consumer discretionary stocks. The strong return in these sectors more than offset the underperformance in the real estate and utilities sectors.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2020 |
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 46 funds and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with no par value.
The accompanying financial statements are those of the USAA 500 Index Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers two classes of shares Member Shares and Reward Shares. The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.
Each class of shares of the Fund has substantially identical rights and privileges, except with respect to fees paid under distribution plans, expenses allocable exclusively to each class of shares, voting rights on matters solely affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange privilege of each class of shares.
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.
Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or 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
26
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 |
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.
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.
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 December 31, 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):
Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | ||||||||||||||||

^ Futures contracts are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the investment.
For the year ended December 31, 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.
Investment Companies:
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.
27
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 |
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 against 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 reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under Deposit with brokers for futures contract.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Fund entered into futures contracts primarily for the strategy of gaining exposure to a particular asset class or securities market.
Summary of Derivative Instruments:
The following table summarizes the fair values of derivative instruments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, categorized by risk exposure, as of December 31, 2020 (amounts in thousands):
Assets | |||||||
Variation Margin Receivable on Open Futures Contracts* | |||||||

* Includes cumulative unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of futures contracts as reported on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments. Only current day's variation margin for futures contracts is reported within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The following table presents the effect of derivative instruments on the Statement of Operations, categorized by risk exposure, for the year ended December 31, 2020 (amounts in thousands):

Net Realized Gains (Losses) from Futures Contracts | Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation/Depreciation on Futures Contracts | ||||||||||
Equity Risk Exposure | $ | 5,393 | $ | (75 | ) |
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 year end is generally representative of the notional amount of open positions to net assets throughout the year.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 |
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 Securities and Exchange Commission ("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 Investments and Financial Statements while non-cash collateral is not included.
The following table (amounts in thousands) is a summary of the Fund's securities lending transactions as of December 31, 2020.
Value of Securities on Loan | Non-Cash Collateral | Cash Collateral | |||||||||
$ | 21,651 | $ | — | $ | 22,697 |
Federal Income Taxes:
It is the Fund's policy to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Fund has a tax year end of December 31.
Management of the Fund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax 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.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 |
The Adviser has entered into an expense limitation agreement with the Fund until at least June 30, 2023. 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 December 31, 2020, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) are 0.25% and 0.15% for Member Shares and Reward Shares, respectively.

As of December 31, 2020, the following amounts are 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 December 31, 2020
Expires December 31, 2022 | Expires December 31, 2023 | Total | |||||||||||||

Certain officers and/or interested trustees of the Fund are also officers and/or employees of the Adviser, Administrator, Sub-Administrator, Sub-Fund Accountant, Custodian and Distributor.
6. Risks:
The Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
Geopolitical/Natural Disaster Risk — 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. Likewise, systemic market dislocations of the kind that occurred during the financial crisis that began in 2008, if repeated, would be highly disruptive to economies and markets, adversely affecting individual companies and industries, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of a Fund's investments. Some countries, including the United States, are adopting more protectionist trade policies and moving away from the tighter financial industry regulations that followed the 2008 financial crisis, which may also affect the value of a Fund's investments.
Political events within the United States at times have resulted, and may in the future result, in a shutdown of government services, which could negatively affect the U.S. economy, decrease the value of a Fund's investments, increase uncertainty in or impair the operation of the U.S. or other securities markets and degrade investor and consumer confidence, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree.
An outbreak of disease called COVID-19 has spread internationally. The transmission of COVID-19 and efforts to contain its spread have resulted in international, national and local border closings and other significant travel restrictions and disruptions, significant disruptions to business operations, supply
32
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 |
chains and consumer activity, significant challenges in healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines and general concern and uncertainty. These negative impacts have caused significant volatility and declines in global financial markets, which have caused losses for Fund investors during and subsequent to period end. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may last for an extended period of time, and could result in a substantial economic downturn or recession. Public health crises may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social, economic, market and financial risks. The extent of the impact to the financial performance of the Funds' investments will depend on future developments, including (i) the duration and spread of the outbreak, (ii) the restrictions and advisories, (iii) the effects on the financial markets, and (iv) the effects on the economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Stock Market Risk — 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.
Equity Risk — 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.
Large-Capitalization Risk — The Fund invests in large-capitalization companies. Such investments may go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions and may underperform other market segments. Some large capitalization companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges and attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion. As such, returns on investments in stocks of large-capitalization companies could trail the returns on investments in stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies.
7. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:
Line of Credit:
For the year ended December 31, 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, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with Victory Floating Rate Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the agreement is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended December 31, 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 year ended December 31, 2020.
33
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 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, that is permitted to participate in the Facility, 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, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund's borrowing restrictions. 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 year ended December 31, 2020 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Borrower or Lender | Amount Outstanding at December 31, 2020 | Average Borrowing* | Days Borrowing Outstanding | Average Interest Rate* | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | ||||||||||||||||||
Borrower | $ | — | $ | 1,971 | 1 | 0.83 | % | $ | 1,971 |
* For the year ended December 31, 2020, based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding.
8. Federal Income Tax Information:
The Fund intends to distribute any net investment income quarterly. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
As of December 31, 2020, on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, reclassification adjustments were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Total accumulated earnings/(loss) | Capital | ||||||

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA 500 Index Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA 500 Index Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of December 31, 2020, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund at December 31, 2020, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2020, by correspondence with the custodian. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more Victory Capital investment companies since 1995.

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. Form N-PORT is 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 account maintenance fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2020 through December 31, 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.
Beginning Account Value 7/1/20 | Actual Ending Account Value 12/31/20 | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 12/31/20 | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 7/1/20- 12/31/20* | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 7/1/20- 12/31/20* | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 7/1/20- 12/31/20 | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Considerations of the Board in Continuing the Investment Advisory Agreement
USAA 500 Index Fund (the "Fund")
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") held on December 10-11, 2020, the Board, including the Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Trust (the "Independent Trustees"), approved for an annual period the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") between the Trust and Victory Capital Management Inc. (the "Adviser") with respect to the Fund. Prior to the December 10-11, 2020 meeting at which the Advisory Agreement was approved, the Independent Trustees also discussed and considered information regarding the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement at a meeting held on November 19, 2020.
In advance of the foregoing meetings, the Trustees received and considered a variety of information relating to the Advisory Agreement and the Adviser, and were given the opportunity to ask questions and request additional information from management. The information provided to the Board included, among other things: (i) a separate report prepared by an independent third party of mutual fund data, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Fund's investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable investment companies; (ii) information concerning the services rendered to the Fund, as well as information regarding the Adviser's revenues and costs of providing services to the Fund and compensation paid to affiliates of the Adviser; and (iii) information about the Adviser's operations and personnel. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees reviewed the proposed continuance of the Advisory Agreement with management and with experienced independent counsel retained by the Independent Trustees ("Independent Counsel") and received materials from such Independent Counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund in private sessions with Independent Counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
At each regularly scheduled meeting of the Board and its committees, the Board receives and reviews, among other things, information concerning the Fund's performance and related services provided by the Adviser. At the meeting at which the renewal of the Advisory Agreement is considered, particular focus is given to information concerning Fund performance, fees and total expenses as compared to comparable investment companies, and the Adviser's profitability with respect to the Fund. However, the Board noted that the evaluation process with respect to the Adviser is an ongoing one. In this regard, the Board's and its committees' consideration of the Advisory Agreement included information previously received at such meetings.
Advisory Agreement
After full consideration of a variety of factors, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Advisory Agreement. In approving the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors. Throughout their deliberations, the Independent Trustees were represented and assisted by Independent Counsel.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services — In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Adviser relating to its operations and personnel. The Board also took into account its knowledge of the Adviser's management and the quality of the performance of the Adviser's duties through Board meetings, discussions, and reports during the preceding year. The Board considered the fees paid to the Adviser and the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, as well as other services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates under other agreements, and the personnel who provide these services. In addition to the investment advisory services provided to the Fund, the Adviser and its affiliates provide administrative services, shareholder services, oversight of Fund accounting, marketing services, assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, and other services necessary for the operation of the Fund and the Trust.
The Board considered the scope of services provided by, and the undertakings required of, the Adviser in connection with those services, including, among other things, maintaining (i) its own and the Fund's compliance programs, (ii) risk management programs, (iii) liquidity risk management programs, and (iv) cybersecurity
45
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Supplemental Information — continued December 31, 2020 |
programs, each of which had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market, and other developments. The Board also considered the significant risks assumed by the Adviser in connection with the services provided to the Fund, including investment, operational, enterprise, litigation, regulatory and compliance risks.
The Board considered the Adviser's management style and the performance of the Adviser's duties under the Advisory Agreement. The Board considered the level and depth of knowledge of the Adviser, including the professional experience and qualifications of its senior and investment personnel, as well as current staffing levels. The allocation of the Fund's brokerage, including the Adviser's process for monitoring "best execution," also was considered. The Adviser's role in coordinating the activities of the Fund's other service providers was also considered. The Board also considered the Adviser's risk management processes. The Board considered the Adviser's financial condition and that it had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide the same scope and high quality of services under the Advisory Agreement. In reviewing the Advisory Agreement, the Board focused on the experience, resources, and strengths of the Adviser and its affiliates in managing the Fund, as well as the other funds in the Trust.
The Board also reviewed the compliance and administrative services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates, including the Adviser's oversight of the Fund's day-to-day operations and oversight of Fund accounting. The Trustees, guided also by information obtained from their experiences as trustees of the Trust, also focused on the quality of the Adviser's compliance and administrative staff.
Expenses and Performance — In connection with its consideration of the Advisory Agreement, the Board evaluated the Fund's advisory fees and total expense ratio as compared to other open-end investment companies deemed to be comparable to the Fund as determined by the independent third party in its report. The Fund's expenses were compared to (i) a group of investment companies chosen by the independent third party to be comparable to the Fund based upon certain factors, including fund type, comparability of investment objective and classification, sales load type, asset size, and expense components (the "expense group") and (ii) a larger group of investment companies with the same investment classification/objective as the Fund regardless of asset size, excluding outliers (the "expense universe"). Among other data, the Board noted that the Fund's management fee rate — which includes advisory and administrative services as well as any fee waivers and reimbursements — was above the median of its expense group and below the median of its expense universe for Member Shares and below the median of its expense group and expense universe for Reward Shares. The data indicated that the Fund's total expenses, including after any reimbursements, were below the median of its expense group and its expense universe for Member Shares and Reward Shares. The Board also took into account the Adviser's current undertakings to maintain expense limitations for the Fund. The Board took into account the various other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates, and noted the high quality of services received by the Fund. The Board also noted the high level of correlation between the S&P 500 Index and the Fund and the relatively low tracking error between the Fund and the S&P 500 Index, and noted that it reviews such information on a periodic basis.
In considering the Fund's performance, the Board noted that it reviews at its regularly scheduled meetings information about the Fund's performance results. The Trustees also reviewed various comparative data provided to them in connection with their consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Fund's average annual total returns relative to its Lipper index and other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group by the independent third party in its report (the "performance universe"). The Fund's performance universe consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional open-end investment companies with the same classification/objective as the Fund regardless of asset size or primary channel of distribution. This comparison indicated that, among other data, the performance of the Fund's Member Shares and Reward Shares was above the average of its performance universe and its Lipper index for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2020.
Compensation and Profitability — The Board took into consideration the level and method of computing the management fee. The information considered by the Board included operating profit margin information for the Adviser's business as a whole. The Board also received and considered profitability information related to the management revenues from the Fund. This information included a review of the methodology used in the allocation of certain costs to the Fund. In considering the profitability data with respect to the Fund, the Trustees noted that the Adviser reimbursed or waived a portion of its management fees to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed the profitability of the Adviser's relationship with the Fund before tax expenses. The Board was also provided
46
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Supplemental Information — continued December 31, 2020 |
with a profitability analysis of other publicly traded asset managers prepared by an independent information service. In reviewing the overall profitability of the management fee to the Adviser, the Board also considered the fact that the Adviser and its affiliates provide shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Fund for which they receive compensation. The Board also considered the possible direct and indirect benefits to the Adviser from its relationship with the Trust, including that the Adviser may derive reputational and other benefits from its association with the Fund. The Trustees recognized that the Adviser should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits in exchange for the level of services it provides to the Fund and the entrepreneurial and other risks that it assumes as Adviser.
Economies of Scale — The Board considered whether there should be changes in the management fee rate or structure in order to enable the Fund to participate in any economies of scale. The Board also considered the fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements by the Adviser. The Board took into account management's discussion of the Fund's current advisory fee structure. The Board also considered the effect of the change in size, if any, of each of the Fund's classes on its performance and fees, noting that the Fund may realize other economies of scale if assets increase proportionally more than expenses. The Board determined that the current investment management fee structure was reasonable.
Conclusions — The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Fund's Advisory Agreement with the Adviser: (i) the Adviser has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Advisory Agreement; (ii) the Adviser maintains an appropriate compliance program; (iii) the overall performance of the Fund is reasonable in relation to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant indices and in view of the Fund's investment objective of tracking its designated index; (iv) the Fund's advisory expenses are reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Adviser; and (v) the Adviser's and its affiliates' level of profitability from their relationship with the Fund is reasonable in light of the nature and high quality of services provided by the Adviser and the type of fund. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that continuation of the Advisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Dear Shareholder,
When we look back on 2020, we will undoubtedly remember it as an extraordinary year. A year ago, no one could have imagined the unusual events that would challenge us personally, professionally, and collectively as a nation. But in retrospect, the trajectory of financial markets over the past year was nothing short of extraordinary.
The year began with rudimentary worries, such as economic growth rates, trade deals, and interest rates. But a novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") and the subsequent worldwide spread of COVID-19 became an unprecedented event. To combat the pandemic, governments everywhere issued austere shelter-in-place orders, and the global economy slowed markedly. Equity markets sold off sharply in March and April, and second quarter domestic GDP contracted by an alarming annual rate of 31.4%, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce.
It's no surprise that so many investors flocked to the perceived safety of U.S. Treasurys. Meanwhile, liquidity evaporated (for a short spell) in many other segments of the fixed-income market, including higher-yielding credits and municipal bonds. The outlook was tenuous, and credit spreads widened while prices declined for most securities perceived to be higher risk.
A response, however, came swiftly. The U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") and other monetary authorities worldwide leapt into action—cutting interest rates, (re)starting quantitative easing and, in the case of the Fed, launching an array of programs to provide liquidity to stabilize fixed-income markets. The U.S. government also stepped up to provide fiscal stimulus in the form of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act).
It was impressive how quickly those actions helped end the stock market's free fall and restore order across much of the fixed-income universe. The rebound was almost as robust as the drawdown, and third quarter GDP (the most recent finalized data available) grew at a 33.4% annualized rate, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Late in the year, markets were alternately fueled and roiled by a contentious election season, growing optimism for an effective vaccine, and a fluid debate regarding the need for additional fiscal stimulus. Ultimately, stocks were propelled higher in the fourth quarter when it became clear that Congress would provide another dose of fiscal stimulus in the form of direct payments, more unemployment insurance, and additional aid to businesses.
Through all the unprecedented events and extreme volatility, the S&P 500® Index registered an impressive annual return of 18.40% for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2020. Meanwhile, the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasurys declined 95 basis points over the same period, reflecting both the Fed's interest rate cuts and its pledge to keep rates low for longer. The yield on 10-Year U.S. Treasurys was 0.93% as of December 31, 2020.
While markets endured and performed admirably during 2020, perhaps the key takeaway is that the unexpected can and will happen. That's why it's important to remain focused on your long-term investment goals and avoid making emotional decisions.

• What were the market conditions over the reporting period?
In an unprecedented 2020, investors witnessed a tale of two markets.
2020 started strong, with the positive market momentum carrying over from 2019. By the end of February, however, there was a historic global financial market panic selloff as the spread of COVID-19 caused a sharp decline in expectations for economic growth and corporate earnings.
The U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") quickly stepped into the market panic and provided an armada of liquidity programs, such as quantitative easing, which resulted in a rebound in investor confidence. This return of confidence led an equally remarkable rally through the rest of the year, despite some periods of fear and concerns around a resurgence of the virus. The remainder of the year brought a dramatic reversal from the difficult environment that characterized the first three months. While COVID-19 cases continued to rise, particularly in the final two weeks of June, investors grew increasingly confident that the economy would be able to recover from its sharp downturn led by a series of better-than-expected economic reports coupled with the aggressive response by the Fed. In addition to reiterating its commitment to keep short-term interest rates near zero for an extended period, the Fed announced the direct purchase of both individual bonds and exchange-traded bond funds.
Despite ongoing uncertainty regarding the economic outlook, investors continued to display a robust appetite for risk. The near-zero interest rate policy of the Fed, together with the ultra-low rates in place in other major world economies, as well as greater appetite for fiscal spending, was a key catalyst for market performance.
Investors' appetite for risk improved considerably in early November, when the approval of vaccines for COVID-19 raised expectations that the world economy could gradually return to normal in 2021. The conclusion of the U.S. elections, which removed a source of uncertainty that had depressed performance in September and October, was an additional tailwind. The markets were also aided by continued indications that the Fed and other central banks would maintain their highly accommodative policies indefinitely, not least an agreement on a new round of U.S. fiscal stimulus further cheered investors in late December. Together, these developments outweighed negative headlines surrounding renewed lockdowns and the persistence of COVID-19.
As the dust settled on a tumultuous and historic year, global financial markets reflected the optimism of a reflating global economic environment in a post-pandemic future. All the major global equity market indexes had posted strong returns, with bonds following

suit. In the United States, large-cap value stocks had a very strong rebound in the fourth quarter in anticipation of economic reflation. However, those returns were still dwarfed by the enormous annual returns posted by large-cap growth stocks, led by the technology and consumer discretionary 'stay-at-home' stocks.
• How did the USAA Global Managed Volatility Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?
The Fund has two share classes: Fund Shares and Institutional Shares. For the reporting period ended December 31, 2020, the Fund Shares and Institutional Shares had total returns of 6.25% and 6.44%, respectively. This compares to total returns of 16.25% for the MSCI All-Country World Index and 12.10% for the Global Managed Volatility Composite Index.
• What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?
The Fund seeks to provide diversified exposure to global equities through investments in individual stocks and exchange-traded funds. We strive to construct a portfolio that can participate in equities' longer-term performance while also managing the risk of large market downturns.
The Fund performed as expected in 2020, posting very strong absolute returns, but lagging the even stronger return of global stocks. The Fund's risk-conscious approach of emphasizing quality, value, and lower volatility stocks within each region and sector were a drag on its relative performance given the strength of the market in the year. During the market volatility in the beginning of the year, our emphasis on risk management added value amid the downturn in stock prices. However, the overall sentiment of the year was risk-on, and the Fund historically lags in such an environment.
Our emphasis on companies with attractive valuations and improving fundamentals put the portfolio somewhat out of step with the stronger showing for momentum-driven stocks that rallied after equity markets made their lows in March. In addition, our value-oriented posture prevented us from fully participating in the strong returns for the growth style in that time.
The Fund's hedging strategy, which is designed to help cushion the impact of large stock market selloffs, behaved as designed during the drawdown at the beginning of the year and provided a modest tailwind for return in 2020. The Fund established its hedges by using derivatives; specifically, options on the S&P 500® Index.
Thank you for allowing us to assist you with your investment needs.

The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Total return measures the price change in a share assuming the reinvestment of all net investment income and realized capital gain distributions, if any. The total returns quoted do not reflect adjustments made to the enclosed financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles or the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on net investment income and realized capital gain distributions, including reinvested distributions, or redemptions of shares. The total return figures set forth above include all waivers of fees. Without such fee waivers, the total returns would have been lower.
+The since inception performance of the MSCI All-Country World Index and Global Managed Volatility Composite Index are calculated from July 12, 2013 through December 31, 2020.
USAA Global Managed Volatility Fund — Growth of $10,000
1The unmanaged MSCI All-Country World Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging markets. This index does not include the effect of expenses or taxes, is not a representative of the Fund and it is not possible to invest directly in an index.
2The Global Managed Volatility Composite Index is a combination of unmanaged indexes representing the Fund's model allocation, and consists of the MSCI All-Country World Index (70%) and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury – Bills (1-3M) (30%). This index does not include the effect of expenses or taxes, is not a representative of the Fund and it is not possible to invest directly in an index.
The graph reflects investment growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund.
The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.
*The performance of the MSCI All-Country World Index and the Global Managed Volatility Composite Index are calculated from the end of the month, July 31, 2013, while the inception date of the USAA Global Managed Volatility Fund Shares is July 12, 2013. There may be a slight variation of performance numbers because of this difference.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2020 |
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 46 funds and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with no par value.
The accompanying financial statements are those of the USAA Global Managed Volatility Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers two classes of shares: Fund Shares and Institutional Shares. The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.
Each class of shares of the Fund has substantially identical rights and privileges, except with respect to fees paid under distribution plans, expenses allocable exclusively to each class of shares, voting rights on matters solely affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange privilege of each class of shares.
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.
Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or 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.
28
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 |
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 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 their net asset value ("NAV"). These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Options are valued by a pricing service at the National Best Bid/Offer (NBBO) composite price, which is derived from the best available bid and ask price in all participating options exchanges determined to most closely reflect market value of the options at the time of computation of the Fund's NAV. These valuations typically are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
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. The valuations are considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
A summary of the valuations as of December 31, 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):
Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | ||||||||||||||||
Common Stocks | $ | 455,448 | $ | 254,250 | $ | 7 | $ | 709,705 | |||||||||||

Total | $ | 482,676 | $ | 254,250 | $ | 7 | $ | 736,933 |
For the year ended December 31, 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.
29
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 |
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 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.
Foreign Exchange Currency Contracts:
The Fund may enter into foreign exchange currency contracts to convert U.S. dollars to and from various foreign currencies. A foreign exchange currency contract is an obligation by the Fund to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date at a price (in U.S. dollars) set at the time of the contract. The Fund does not engage in "cross-currency" foreign exchange contracts (i.e., contracts to purchase or sell one foreign currency in exchange for another foreign currency). The Fund's foreign exchange currency contracts might be considered spot contracts (typically a contract of one week or less) or forward contracts (typically a contract term over one week). A spot contract is entered into for purposes of hedging against foreign currency fluctuations relating to a specific portfolio transaction, such as the delay between a security transaction trade date and settlement date. Forward contracts are entered into for purposes of hedging portfolio holdings or concentrations of such holdings. Each foreign exchange currency contract is adjusted daily by the prevailing spot or forward rate of the underlying currency, and any appreciation or depreciation is recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the contract settlement date, at which time the Fund records realized gains or losses equal to the difference between the value of a contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The Fund could be exposed to risk if a counterparty is unable to meet the terms of a foreign exchange currency contract or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. In addition, the use of foreign exchange currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. As of December 31, 2020, the Fund had no open forward foreign exchange currency contracts.
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 against 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
30
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 |
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 reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under Deposit with brokers for futures contract.
The Fund held no futures contracts during the year ended December 31, 2020.
Options:
The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may use options on underlying instruments, namely, equity securities, ETFs, and equity indexes, to gain exposure to, or hedge against, changes in the value of equity securities, ETFs, or equity indexes. A call option gives the purchaser the right to buy, and the writer the obligation to sell, the underlying instrument at a specified price during a specified period. Conversely, a put option gives the purchaser the right to sell, and the writer the obligation to buy, the underlying instrument at a specified price during a specified period. The purchaser of the option pays a premium to the writer of the option.
Premiums paid for purchased options are included on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment. If a purchased option expires unexercised, the premium paid is recognized as a realized loss. If a purchased call option on a security is exercised, the cost of the security acquired includes the exercise price and the premium paid. If a purchased put option on a security is exercised, the realized gain or loss on the security sold is determined from the exercise price, the original cost of the security, and the premium paid. The risk associated with purchasing a call or put option is limited to the premium paid.
Premiums received from writing options are included on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. If a written option expires unexercised, the premium received is recognized as a realized gain. If a written call option on a security is exercised, the realized gain or loss on the security sold is determined from the exercise price, the original cost of the security, and the premium received. If a written put option on a security is exercised, the cost of the security acquired is the exercise price paid less the premium received. The Fund, as a writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.
In an attempt to reduce the Fund's volatility over time, the Fund may implement a strategy that involves purchasing and selling options on indexes or ETFs that represent the Fund's exposure against a highly correlated stock portfolio. The combination of the diversified stock portfolio with index or ETF options is designed to provide the Fund with consistent returns over a wide range of equity market environments. This strategy may not fully protect the Fund against declines in the portfolio's value, and the Fund could experience a loss. Options on ETFs are similar to options on individual securities in that the holder of the ETF call (or put) has the right to receive (or sell) shares of the underlying ETF at the strike price on or before exercise date. Options on securities indexes are different from options on individual securities in that the holder of the index option has the right to receive an amount of cash equal to the difference between the exercise price and the settlement value of the underlying index as defined by the exchange. If an index option is exercised, the realized gain or loss is determined by the exercise price, the settlement value, and the premium amount paid or received.
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
31
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 |
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 Securities and Exchange Commission ("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 Investments and Financial Statements while non-cash collateral is not included.
The following table (amounts in thousands) is a summary of the Fund's securities lending transactions as of December 31, 2020.
Value of Securities on Loan | Non-Cash Collateral | Cash Collateral | |||||||||
$ | 4,379 | $ | — | $ | 4,576 |
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.
32
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 |
Federal Income Taxes:
It is the Fund's policy to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Fund has a tax year end of December 31.
Management of the Fund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax 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.

The Adviser has entered into an expense limitation agreement with the Fund until at least June 30, 2023. 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 December 31, 2020, the following amounts are 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 December 31, 2020.
Expires December 31, 2022 | Expires December 31, 2023 | Total | |||||||||
$ | 249 | $ | 368 | $ | 617 |

Certain officers and/or interested trustees of the Fund are also officers and/or employees of the Adviser, Administrator, Sub-Administrator, Sub-Fund Accountant, Custodian and Distributor.
6. Risks:
The Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
Geopolitical/Natural Disaster Risk — 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. Likewise, systemic market dislocations of the kind that occurred during the financial crisis that began in 2008, if repeated, would be highly disruptive to economies and markets, adversely affecting individual companies and industries, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of a Fund's investments. Some countries, including the United
35
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 |
States, are adopting more protectionist trade policies and moving away from the tighter financial industry regulations that followed the 2008 financial crisis, which may also affect the value of a Fund's investments.
Political events within the United States at times have resulted, and may in the future result, in a shutdown of government services, which could negatively affect the U.S. economy, decrease the value of a Fund's investments, increase uncertainty in or impair the operation of the U.S. or other securities markets and degrade investor and consumer confidence, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree.
An outbreak of disease called COVID-19 has spread internationally. The transmission of COVID-19 and efforts to contain its spread have resulted in international, national and local border closings and other significant travel restrictions and disruptions, significant disruptions to business operations, supply chains and consumer activity, significant challenges in healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines and general concern and uncertainty. These negative impacts have caused significant volatility and declines in global financial markets, which have caused losses for Fund investors during and subsequent to period end. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may last for an extended period of time, and could result in a substantial economic downturn or recession. Public health crises may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social, economic, market and financial risks. The extent of the impact to the financial performance of the Funds' investments will depend on future developments, including (i) the duration and spread of the outbreak, (ii) the restrictions and advisories, (iii) the effects on the financial markets, and (iv) the effects on the economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Stock Market Risk — 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.
Equity Risk — 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 Securities Risk — 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.
7. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:
Line of Credit:
For the year ended December 31, 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, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, Victory Floating Rate Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the agreement is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended December 31, 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
36
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 |
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 year ended December 31, 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, that is permitted to participate in the Facility, 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, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund's borrowing restrictions. 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 year ended December 31, 2020 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Borrower or Lender | Amount Outstanding at December 31, 2020 | Average Borrowing* | Days Borrowing Outstanding | Average Interest Rate* | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | ||||||||||||||||||

* For the year ended December 31, 2020, based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding.
8. Federal Income Tax Information:
The Fund intends to distribute any net investment income annually. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
As of December 31, 2020, on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, reclassification adjustments were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Total accumulated earnings/(loss) | Capital | ||||||
$ | (7,867 | ) | $ | 7,867 |
The tax character of distributions paid during the tax years ended as noted below, were as follows (total distributions paid may differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because, for tax purposes, dividends are recognized when actually paid) (amounts in thousands).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA Global Managed Volatility Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA Global Managed Volatility Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of December 31, 2020, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund at December 31, 2020, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2020, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more Victory Capital investment companies since 1995.

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 July 1, 2020 through December 31, 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.
Beginning Account Value 7/1/20 | Actual Ending Account Value 12/31/20 | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 12/31/20 | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 7/1/20- 12/31/20* | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 7/1/20- 12/31/20* | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 7/1/20- 12/31/20 | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Considerations of the Board in Continuing the Investment Advisory Agreement
USAA Global Managed Volatility Fund (the "Fund")
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") held on December 10-11, 2020, the Board, including the Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Trust (the "Independent Trustees"), approved for an annual period the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") between the Trust and Victory Capital Management Inc. (the "Adviser") with respect to the Fund. Prior to the December 10-11, 2020 meeting at which the Advisory Agreement was approved, the Independent Trustees also discussed and considered information regarding the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement at a meeting held on November 19, 2020.
In advance of the foregoing meetings, the Trustees received and considered a variety of information relating to the Advisory Agreement and the Adviser, and were given the opportunity to ask questions and request additional information from management. The information provided to the Board included, among other things: (i) a separate report prepared by an independent third party of mutual fund data, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Fund's investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable investment companies; (ii) information concerning the services rendered to the Fund, as well as information regarding the Adviser's revenues and costs of providing services to the Fund and compensation paid to affiliates of the Adviser; and (iii) information about the Adviser's operations and personnel. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees reviewed the proposed continuance of the Advisory Agreement with management and with experienced independent counsel retained by the Independent Trustees ("Independent Counsel") and received materials from such Independent Counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund in private sessions with Independent Counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
At each regularly scheduled meeting of the Board and its committees, the Board receives and reviews, among other things, information concerning the Fund's performance and related services provided by the Adviser. At the meeting at which the renewal of the Advisory Agreement is considered, particular focus is given to information concerning Fund performance, fees and total expenses as compared to comparable investment companies, and the Adviser's profitability with respect to the Fund. However, the Board noted that the evaluation process with respect to the Adviser is an ongoing one. In this regard, the Board's and its committees' consideration of the Advisory Agreement included information previously received at such meetings.
Advisory Agreement
After full consideration of a variety of factors, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Advisory Agreement. In approving the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors. Throughout their deliberations, the Independent Trustees were represented and assisted by Independent Counsel.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services — In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Adviser relating to its operations and personnel. The Board also took into account its knowledge of the Adviser's management and the quality of the performance of the Adviser's duties through Board meetings, discussions, and reports during the preceding year. The Board considered the fees paid to the Adviser and the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, as well as other services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates under other agreements, and the personnel who provide these services. In addition to the investment advisory services provided to the Fund, the Adviser and its affiliates provide administrative services, shareholder services, oversight of Fund accounting, marketing services, assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, and other services necessary for the operation of the Fund and the Trust.
The Board considered the scope of services provided by, and the undertakings required of, the Adviser in connection with those services, including, among other things, maintaining (i) its own and the Fund's compliance programs, (ii) risk management programs, (iii) liquidity risk management programs, and (iv) cybersecurity
48
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Supplemental Information — continued December 31, 2020 |
programs, each of which had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market, and other developments. The Board also considered the significant risks assumed by the Adviser in connection with the services provided to the Fund, including investment, operational, enterprise, litigation, regulatory and compliance risks.
The Board considered the Adviser's management style and the performance of the Adviser's duties under the Advisory Agreement. The Board considered the level and depth of knowledge of the Adviser, including the professional experience and qualifications of its senior and investment personnel, as well as current staffing levels. The allocation of the Fund's brokerage, including the Adviser's process for monitoring "best execution," also was considered. The Adviser's role in coordinating the activities of the Fund's other service providers was also considered. The Board also considered the Adviser's risk management processes. The Board considered the Adviser's financial condition and that it had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide the same scope and high quality of services under the Advisory Agreement. In reviewing the Advisory Agreement, the Board focused on the experience, resources, and strengths of the Adviser and its affiliates in managing the Fund, as well as the other funds in the Trust.
The Board also reviewed the compliance and administrative services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates, including the Adviser's oversight of the Fund's day-to-day operations and oversight of Fund accounting. The Trustees, guided also by information obtained from their experiences as trustees of the Trust, also focused on the quality of the Adviser's compliance and administrative staff.
Expenses and Performance — In connection with its consideration of the Advisory Agreement, the Board evaluated the Fund's advisory fees and total expense ratio as compared to other open-end investment companies deemed to be comparable to the Fund as determined by the independent third party in its report. The Fund's expenses were compared to (i) a group of investment companies chosen by the independent third party to be comparable to the Fund based upon certain factors, including fund type, comparability of investment objective and classification, sales load type, asset size, and expense components (the "expense group") and (ii) a larger group of investment companies with the same investment classification/objective as the Fund regardless of asset size, excluding outliers (the "expense universe"). Among other data, the Board noted that the Fund's management fee rate — which includes advisory and administrative services as well as any fee waivers and reimbursements — was below the median of its expense group and its expense universe. The data indicated that the Fund's total expenses, including underlying fund expenses and after any reimbursements, were below the median of its expense group and its expense universe. The Board also took into account the Adviser's current undertakings to maintain expense limitations for the Fund. The Board took into account the various other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates, and noted the high quality of services received by the Fund.
In considering the Fund's performance, the Board noted that it reviews at its regularly scheduled meetings information about the Fund's performance results. The Trustees also reviewed various comparative data provided to them in connection with their consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Fund's average annual total returns relative to its Lipper index and other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group by the independent third party in its report (the "performance universe"). The Fund's performance universe consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional open-end investment companies with the same classification/objective as the Fund regardless of asset size or primary channel of distribution. This comparison indicated that, among other data, the Fund's performance was below the average of its performance universe and its Lipper index for the one-year period ended September 30, 2020, was above the average of its performance universe for the three- and five-year periods ended September 30, 2020, and was below its Lipper index for the three- and five-year periods ended September 30, 2020.
Compensation and Profitability — The Board took into consideration the level and method of computing the management fee. The information considered by the Board included operating profit margin information for the Adviser's business as a whole. The Board also received and considered profitability information related to the management revenues from the Fund. This information included a review of the methodology used in the allocation of certain costs to the Fund. In considering the profitability data with respect to the Fund, the Trustees noted that the Adviser reimbursed or waived a portion of its management fees to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed the profitability of the Adviser's relationship with the Fund before tax expenses. The Board was also provided with a profitability analysis of other publicly traded asset managers prepared by an independent information service. In reviewing the overall profitability of the management fee to the Adviser, the Board also considered the fact that the Adviser and its affiliates provide shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Fund
49
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Supplemental Information — continued December 31, 2020 |
for which they receive compensation. The Board also considered the possible direct and indirect benefits to the Adviser from its relationship with the Trust, including that the Adviser may derive reputational and other benefits from its association with the Fund. The Trustees recognized that the Adviser should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits in exchange for the level of services it provides to the Fund and the entrepreneurial and other risks that it assumes as Adviser.
Economies of Scale — The Board considered whether there should be changes in the management fee rate or structure in order to enable the Fund to participate in any economies of scale. The Board also considered the fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements by the Adviser. The Board took into account management's discussion of the Fund's current advisory fee structure. The Board also considered the effect of the Fund's change in size, if any, on its performance and fees, noting that the Fund may realize other economies of scale if assets increase proportionally more than some expenses. The Board determined that the current investment management fee structure was reasonable.
Conclusions — The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Fund's Advisory Agreement with the Adviser: (i) the Adviser has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Advisory Agreement; (ii) the Adviser maintains an appropriate compliance program; (iii) the overall performance of the Fund is reasonable in relation to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant indices; (iv) the Fund's advisory expenses are reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Adviser; and (v) the Adviser's and its affiliates' level of profitability from their relationship with the Fund is reasonable in light of the nature and high quality of services provided by the Adviser and the type of fund. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that continuation of the Advisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Dear Shareholder,
When we look back on 2020, we will undoubtedly remember it as an extraordinary year. A year ago, no one could have imagined the unusual events that would challenge us personally, professionally, and collectively as a nation. But in retrospect, the trajectory of financial markets over the past year was nothing short of extraordinary.
The year began with rudimentary worries, such as economic growth rates, trade deals, and interest rates. But a novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") and the subsequent worldwide spread of COVID-19 became an unprecedented event. To combat the pandemic, governments everywhere issued austere shelter-in-place orders, and the global economy slowed markedly. Equity markets sold off sharply in March and April, and second quarter domestic GDP contracted by an alarming annual rate of 31.4%, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce.
It's no surprise that so many investors flocked to the perceived safety of U.S. Treasurys. Meanwhile, liquidity evaporated (for a short spell) in many other segments of the fixed-income market, including higher-yielding credits and municipal bonds. The outlook was tenuous, and credit spreads widened while prices declined for most securities perceived to be higher risk.
A response, however, came swiftly. The U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") and other monetary authorities worldwide leapt into action—cutting interest rates, (re)starting quantitative easing and, in the case of the Fed, launching an array of programs to provide liquidity to stabilize fixed-income markets. The U.S. government also stepped up to provide fiscal stimulus in the form of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act).
It was impressive how quickly those actions helped end the stock market's free fall and restore order across much of the fixed-income universe. The rebound was almost as robust as the drawdown, and third quarter GDP (the most recent finalized data available) grew at a 33.4% annualized rate, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Late in the year, markets were alternately fueled and roiled by a contentious election season, growing optimism for an effective vaccine, and a fluid debate regarding the need for additional fiscal stimulus. Ultimately, stocks were propelled higher in the fourth quarter when it became clear that Congress would provide another dose of fiscal stimulus in the form of direct payments, more unemployment insurance, and additional aid to businesses.
Through all the unprecedented events and extreme volatility, the S&P 500® Index registered an impressive annual return of 18.40% for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2020. Meanwhile, the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasurys declined 95 basis points over the same period, reflecting both the Fed's interest rate cuts and its pledge to keep rates low for longer. The yield on 10-Year U.S. Treasurys was 0.93% as of December 31, 2020.
While markets endured and performed admirably during 2020, perhaps the key takeaway is that the unexpected can and will happen. That's why it's important to remain focused on your long-term investment goals and avoid making emotional decisions.

• What were the market conditions over the reporting period?
In an unprecedented 2020, investors witnessed a tale of two markets.
2020 started strong, with the positive market momentum carrying over from 2019. By the end of February, however, there was a historic global financial market panic selloff as the spread of COVID-19 caused a sharp decline in expectations for economic growth and corporate earnings.
The U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") quickly stepped into the market panic and provided an armada of liquidity programs, such as quantitative easing, which resulted in a rebound in investor confidence. This return of confidence led an equally remarkable rally through the rest of the year, despite some periods of fear and concerns around a resurgence of the virus. The remainder of the year brought a dramatic reversal from the difficult environment that characterized the first three months. While COVID-19 cases continued to rise, particularly in the final two weeks of June, investors grew increasingly confident that the economy would be able to recover from its sharp downturn led by a series of better-than-expected economic reports coupled with the aggressive response by the Fed. In addition to reiterating its commitment to keep short-term interest rates near zero for an extended period, the Fed announced the direct purchase of both individual bonds and exchange-traded bond funds.
Despite ongoing uncertainty regarding the economic outlook, investors continued to display a robust appetite for risk. The near-zero interest rate policy of the Fed, together with the ultra-low rates in place in other major world economies, as well as greater appetite for fiscal spending, was a key catalyst for market performance.
Investors' appetite for risk improved considerably in early November, when the approval of vaccines for COVID-19 raised expectations that the world economy could gradually return to normal in 2021. The conclusion of the U.S. elections, which removed a source of uncertainty that had depressed performance in September and October, was an additional tailwind. The markets were also aided by continued indications that the Fed and other central banks would maintain their highly accommodative policies indefinitely, not least an agreement on a new round of U.S. fiscal stimulus further cheered investors in late December. Together, these developments outweighed negative headlines surrounding renewed lockdowns and the persistence of COVID-19.
As the dust settled on a tumultuous and historic year, global financial markets reflected the optimism of a reflating global economic environment in a post-pandemic future. All the major global equity market indexes had posted strong returns, with bonds following suit. In the United States, large-cap value stocks had a very strong rebound in the fourth quarter in anticipation of economic reflation. However, those returns were still dwarfed

by the enormous annual returns posted by large-cap growth stocks, led by the information technology and consumer discretionary 'stay-at-home' stocks.
• How did the USAA Extended Market Index Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?
Against this backdrop, the Fund posted a strong total return of 31.20% for the reporting period ended December 31, 2020, while its benchmark index, the Wilshire 4500 Completion Index, posted a return of 31.99%.
• Please describe sector performance during the reporting period.
During the year, the Fund's strong absolute return was led by consumer discretionary and information technology stocks. The strong return in these sectors more than offset the underperformance in the Energy, real estate and utilities sectors.
Thank you for allowing us to assist you with your investment needs.

The total returns quoted do not reflect adjustments made to the enclosed financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles or the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on net investment income and realized capital gain distributions, including reinvested distributions, or redemptions of shares. The total return figures set forth above include all waivers of fees. Without such fee waivers, the total returns would have been lower.
USAA Extended Market Index Fund — Growth of $10,000
1The Wilshire 4500 Completion Index is a market cap-weighted index consisting of the small and mid-cap companies in the U.S. equity market. The Index consists of securities within the Wilshire 5000 Total Market Index (Parent Index) after eliminating the companies included in the S&P 500 Index. The Parent Index measures performance of all U.S. equity securities with readily available price data. This index does not include the effect of expenses or taxes, is not a representative of the Fund and it is not possible to invest directly in an index.
The graph reflects investment growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund.
The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2020 |
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 46 funds and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with no par value.
The accompanying financial statements are those of the USAA Extended Market Index Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.
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.
Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or 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 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.
76
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 |
Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value ("NAV"). These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 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.
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. The valuations are considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
A summary of the valuations as of December 31, 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):
Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | ||||||||||||||||

(a) Zero market value security.
For the year ended December 31, 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.
77
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 |
Investment Companies:
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 against 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 reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under Deposit with brokers for futures contract.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Fund entered into futures contracts primarily for the strategy of gaining exposure to a particular asset class or securities market.
Summary of Derivative Instruments:
The following table summarizes the fair values of derivative instruments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, categorized by risk exposure, as of December 31, 2020 (amounts in thousands):

The following table presents the effect of derivative instruments on the Statement of Operations, categorized by risk exposure, for the year ended December 31, 2020 (amounts in thousands):

Net Realized Gains (Losses) from Futures Contracts | Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation/Depreciation on Futures Contracts | ||||||||||
Equity Risk Exposure | $ | 2,618 | $ | 123 |
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 year end is generally representative of the notional amount of open positions to net assets throughout the year.
Investment Transactions and Related Income:
Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discount. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.
Securities Lending:
The Fund, through a securities lending agreement with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), may lend its securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. Borrowers are required to secure their loans for collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non-U.S. securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls associated with increases in the valuation of the securities loaned are cured the next business day once the shortfall exceeds $100 thousand. Collateral may be cash, U.S. government securities, or other securities as permitted by Securities and Exchange Commission ("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 Investments and Financial Statements while non-cash collateral is not included.
The following table (amounts in thousands) is a summary of the Fund's securities lending transactions as of December 31, 2020.
Value of Securities on Loan | Non-Cash Collateral | Cash Collateral | |||||||||
$ | 35,583 | $ | — | $ | 37,493 |
79
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 |
Foreign Taxes:
The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes related to foreign income received (a portion of which may be reclaimable), capital gains on the sale of securities, and certain foreign currency transactions. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Fund invests.
Federal Income Taxes:
It is the Fund's policy to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Fund has a tax year end of December 31.
Management of the Fund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax 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.
3. Purchases and Sales:
Cost of purchases and proceeds from sales/maturities of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) for the year ended December 31, 2020, were as follows for the Fund (amounts in thousands):
Excluding U.S. Government Securities | |||||||||||
Purchases | Sales | ||||||||||
$ | 227,818 | $ | 312,115 |
There were no purchases or sales of U.S. government securities during the year ended December 31, 2020
4. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties:
Investment Advisory Fees:
Investment advisory services are provided to the Fund by the Adviser, which is a New York corporation registered as an investment adviser with the SEC.

5. Risks:
The Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
Geopolitical/Natural Disaster Risk — 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. Likewise, systemic market dislocations of the kind that occurred during the financial crisis that began in 2008, if repeated, would be highly disruptive to economies and markets, adversely affecting individual companies and industries, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of a Fund's investments. Some countries, including the United States, are adopting more protectionist trade policies and moving away from the tighter financial industry regulations that followed the 2008 financial crisis, which may also affect the value of a Fund's investments.
Political events within the United States at times have resulted, and may in the future result, in a shutdown of government services, which could negatively affect the U.S. economy, decrease the value of a Fund's investments, increase uncertainty in or impair the operation of the U.S. or other securities markets and degrade investor and consumer confidence, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree.
An outbreak of disease called COVID-19 has spread internationally. The transmission of COVID-19 and efforts to contain its spread have resulted in international, national and local border closings and other significant travel restrictions and disruptions, significant disruptions to business operations, supply chains and consumer activity, significant challenges in healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines and general concern and uncertainty. These negative impacts have caused significant volatility and declines in global financial markets, which have caused losses for Fund investors during and subsequent to period end. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may last for an extended period of time, and could result in a substantial economic downturn or recession. Public health crises may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social, economic, market and financial risks. The extent of the impact to the financial performance of the Funds' investments will depend on future developments, including (i) the duration and spread of the outbreak, (ii) the restrictions and advisories, (iii) the effects on the financial markets, and (iv) the effects on the economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
82
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 |
Stock Market Risk — 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.
Equity Risk — 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.
Small-Capitalization and Mid-Capitalization Stock Risk — The Fund invests in small- and mid-capitalization companies, which may be more vulnerable than larger companies to adverse business or economic conditions. Securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of larger companies or the market in general and, therefore, may involve greater risk than investing in securities of larger companies.
6. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:
Line of Credit:
For the year ended December 31, 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, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with Victory Floating Rate Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the agreement is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended December 31, 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 year ended December 31, 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, that is permitted to participate in the Facility, 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, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund's borrowing restrictions. 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 distribute any net investment income annually. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
As of December 31, 2020, on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, reclassification adjustments were as follows (amounts in thousands):

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA Extended Market Index Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA Extended Market Index Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of December 31, 2020, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund at December 31, 2020, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2020, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more Victory Capital investment companies since 1995.

Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2020 through December 31, 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.
Beginning Account Value 7/1/20 | Actual Ending Account Value 12/31/20 | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 12/31/20 | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 7/1/20- 12/31/20* | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 7/1/20- 12/31/20* | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 7/1/20- 12/31/20 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
$ | 1,000.00 | $ | 1,402.40 | $ | 1,023.18 | $ | 2.36 | $ | 1.98 | 0.39 | % |
* Expenses are equal to the average account value multiplied by the Fund's annualized expense ratio multiplied by 184/366 (the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year).

Considerations of the Board in Continuing the Investment Advisory Agreement
USAA Extended Market Index Fund (the "Fund")
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") held on December 10-11, 2020, the Board, including the Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Trust (the "Independent Trustees"), approved for an annual period the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") between the Trust and Victory Capital Management Inc. (the "Adviser") with respect to the Fund. Prior to the December 10-11, 2020 meeting at which the Advisory Agreement was approved, the Independent Trustees also discussed and considered information regarding the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement at a meeting held on November 19, 2020.
In advance of the foregoing meetings, the Trustees received and considered a variety of information relating to the Advisory Agreement and the Adviser, and were given the opportunity to ask questions and request additional information from management. The information provided to the Board included, among other things: (i) a separate report prepared by an independent third party of mutual fund data, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Fund's investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable investment companies; (ii) information concerning the services rendered to the Fund, as well as information regarding the Adviser's revenues and costs of providing services to the Fund and compensation paid to affiliates of the Adviser; and (iii) information about the Adviser's operations and personnel. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees reviewed the proposed continuance of the Advisory Agreement with management and with experienced independent counsel retained by the Independent Trustees ("Independent Counsel") and received materials from such Independent Counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund in private sessions with Independent Counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
At each regularly scheduled meeting of the Board and its committees, the Board receives and reviews, among other things, information concerning the Fund's performance and related services provided by the Adviser. At the meeting at which the renewal of the Advisory Agreement is considered, particular focus is given to information concerning Fund performance, fees and total expenses as compared to comparable investment companies, and the Adviser's profitability with respect to the Fund. However, the Board noted that the evaluation process with respect to the Adviser is an ongoing one. In this regard, the Board's and its committees' consideration of the Advisory Agreement included information previously received at such meetings.
Advisory Agreement
After full consideration of a variety of factors, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Advisory Agreement. In approving the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors. Throughout their deliberations, the Independent Trustees were represented and assisted by Independent Counsel.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services — In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Adviser relating to its operations and personnel. The Board also took into account its knowledge of the Adviser's management and the quality of the performance of the Adviser's duties through Board meetings, discussions, and reports during the preceding year. The Board considered the fees paid to the Adviser and the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, as well as other services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates under other agreements, and the personnel who provide these services. In addition to the investment advisory services provided to the Fund, the Adviser and its affiliates provide administrative services, shareholder services, oversight of Fund accounting, marketing services, assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, and other services necessary for the operation of the Fund and the Trust.
The Board considered the scope of services provided by, and the undertakings required of, the Adviser in connection with those services, including, among other things, maintaining (i) its own and the Fund's compliance programs, (ii) risk management programs, (iii) liquidity risk management programs, and (iv) cybersecurity
95
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Supplemental Information — continued December 31, 2020 |
(Unaudited)
programs, each of which had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market, and other developments. The Board also considered the significant risks assumed by the Adviser in connection with the services provided to the Fund, including investment, operational, enterprise, litigation, regulatory and compliance risks.
The Board considered the Adviser's management style and the performance of the Adviser's duties under the Advisory Agreement. The Board considered the level and depth of knowledge of the Adviser, including the professional experience and qualifications of its senior and investment personnel, as well as current staffing levels. The allocation of the Fund's brokerage, including the Adviser's process for monitoring "best execution," also was considered. The Adviser's role in coordinating the activities of the Fund's other service providers was also considered. The Board also considered the Adviser's risk management processes. The Board considered the Adviser's financial condition and that it had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide the same scope and high quality of services under the Advisory Agreement. In reviewing the Advisory Agreement, the Board focused on the experience, resources, and strengths of the Adviser and its affiliates in managing the Fund, as well as the other funds in the Trust.
The Board also reviewed the compliance and administrative services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates, including the Adviser's oversight of the Fund's day-to-day operations and oversight of Fund accounting. The Trustees, guided also by information obtained from their experiences as trustees of the Trust, also focused on the quality of the Adviser's compliance and administrative staff.
Expenses and Performance — In connection with its consideration of the Advisory Agreement, the Board evaluated the Fund's advisory fees and total expense ratio as compared to other open-end investment companies deemed to be comparable to the Fund as determined by the independent third party in its report. The Fund's expenses were compared to (i) a group of investment companies chosen by the independent third party to be comparable to the Fund based upon certain factors, including fund type, comparability of investment objective and classification, sales load type, asset size, and expense components (the "expense group") and (ii) a larger group of investment companies with the same investment classification/objective as the Fund regardless of asset size, excluding outliers (the "expense universe"). Among other data, the Board noted that the Fund's management fee rate — which includes advisory and administrative services as well as any fee waivers and reimbursements — was below the median of its expense group and its expense universe. The data indicated that the Fund's total expenses, including after any reimbursements, were below the median of its expense group and its expense universe. The Board took into account the various other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates, and noted the high quality of services received by the Fund. The Board also noted the high level of correlation between the Fund and its benchmark index and the relatively low tracking error between the Fund and its benchmark index, and noted that it reviews such information on a periodic basis.
In considering the Fund's performance, the Board noted that it reviews at its regularly scheduled meetings information about the Fund's performance results. The Trustees also reviewed various comparative data provided to them in connection with their consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Fund's average annual total returns relative to its Lipper index and other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group by the independent third party in its report (the "performance universe"). The Fund's performance universe consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional open-end investment companies with the same classification/objective as the Fund regardless of asset size or primary channel of distribution. This comparison indicated that, among other data, the Fund's performance was below the average of its performance universe and its Lipper index for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2020. The Board took into account management's discussion of the Fund's performance, including the reasons the Fund underperformed its performance universe as well as the extent to which the Fund's met its investment objective of tracking its designated index.
Compensation and Profitability — The Board took into consideration the level and method of computing the management fee. The information considered by the Board included operating profit margin information for the Adviser's business as a whole. The Board also received and considered profitability information related to the management revenues from the Fund. This information included a review of the methodology used in the allocation of certain costs to the Fund. In considering the profitability data with respect to the Fund, the Trustees noted that the Adviser reimbursed or waived a portion of its management fees to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed the profitability of the Adviser's relationship with the Fund before tax expenses. The Board was also provided with a profitability analysis of other publicly traded asset managers prepared by an independent information

(Unaudited)
service. In reviewing the overall profitability of the management fee to the Adviser, the Board also considered the fact that the Adviser and its affiliates provide shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Fund for which they receive compensation. The Board also considered the possible direct and indirect benefits to the Adviser from its relationship with the Trust, including that the Adviser may derive reputational and other benefits from its association with the Fund. The Trustees recognized that the Adviser should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits in exchange for the level of services it provides to the Fund and the entrepreneurial and other risks that it assumes as Adviser.
Economies of Scale — The Board considered whether there should be changes in the management fee rate or structure in order to enable the Fund to participate in any economies of scale. The Board also considered the fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements by the Adviser. The Board took into account management's discussion of the Fund's current advisory fee structure. The Board also considered the effect of the Fund's change in size, if any, on its performance and fees, noting that the Fund may realize other economies of scale if assets increase proportionally more than expenses. The Board determined that the current investment management fee structure was reasonable.
Conclusions — The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Fund's Advisory Agreement with the Adviser: (i) the Adviser has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Advisory Agreement; (ii) the Adviser maintains an appropriate compliance program; (iii) the overall performance of the Fund is reasonable in relation to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant indices and in view of the Fund's investment objective of tracking its designated index; (iv) the Fund's advisory expenses are reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Adviser; and (v) the Adviser's and its affiliates' level of profitability from their relationship with the Fund is reasonable in light of the nature and high quality of services provided by the Adviser and the type of fund. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that continuation of the Advisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Dear Shareholder,
When we look back on 2020, we will undoubtedly remember it as an extraordinary year. A year ago, no one could have imagined the unusual events that would challenge us personally, professionally, and collectively as a nation. But in retrospect, the trajectory of financial markets over the past year was nothing short of extraordinary.
The year began with rudimentary worries, such as economic growth rates, trade deals, and interest rates. But a novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") and the subsequent worldwide spread of COVID-19 became an unprecedented event. To combat the pandemic, governments everywhere issued austere shelter-in-place orders, and the global economy slowed markedly. Equity markets sold off sharply in March and April, and second quarter domestic GDP contracted by an alarming annual rate of 31.4%, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce.
It's no surprise that so many investors flocked to the perceived safety of U.S. Treasurys. Meanwhile, liquidity evaporated (for a short spell) in many other segments of the fixed-income market, including higher-yielding credits and municipal bonds. The outlook was tenuous, and credit spreads widened while prices declined for most securities perceived to be higher risk.
A response, however, came swiftly. The U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") and other monetary authorities worldwide leapt into action—cutting interest rates, (re)starting quantitative easing and, in the case of the Fed, launching an array of programs to provide liquidity to stabilize fixed-income markets. The U.S. government also stepped up to provide fiscal stimulus in the form of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act).
It was impressive how quickly those actions helped end the stock market's free fall and restore order across much of the fixed-income universe. The rebound was almost as robust as the drawdown, and third quarter GDP (the most recent finalized data available) grew at a 33.4% annualized rate, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Late in the year, markets were alternately fueled and roiled by a contentious election season, growing optimism for an effective vaccine, and a fluid debate regarding the need for additional fiscal stimulus. Ultimately, stocks were propelled higher in the fourth quarter when it became clear that Congress would provide another dose of fiscal stimulus in the form of direct payments, more unemployment insurance, and additional aid to businesses.
Through all the unprecedented events and extreme volatility, the S&P 500® Index registered an impressive annual return of 18.40% for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2020. Meanwhile, the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasurys declined 95 basis points over the same period, reflecting both the Fed's interest rate cuts and its pledge to keep rates low for longer. The yield on 10-Year U.S. Treasurys was 0.93% as of December 31, 2020.
While markets endured and performed admirably during 2020, perhaps the key takeaway is that the unexpected can and will happen. That's why it's important to remain focused on your long-term investment goals and avoid making emotional decisions.

• What were the market conditions over the reporting period?
In an unprecedented 2020, investors witnessed a tale of two markets.
2020 started strong, with the positive market momentum carrying over from 2019. By the end of February, however, there was a historic global financial market panic selloff as the spread of COVID-19 caused a sharp decline in expectations for economic growth and corporate earnings.
The U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") quickly stepped into the market panic and provided an armada of liquidity programs, such as quantitative easing, which resulted in a rebound in investor confidence. This return of confidence led an equally remarkable rally through the rest of the year, despite some periods of fear and concerns around a resurgence of the virus. The remainder of the year brought a dramatic reversal from the difficult environment that characterized the first three months. While COVID-19 cases continued to rise, particularly in the final two weeks of June, investors grew increasingly confident that the economy would be able to recover from its sharp downturn led by a series of better-than-expected economic reports coupled with the aggressive response by the Fed. In addition to reiterating its commitment to keep short-term interest rates near zero for an extended period, the Fed announced the direct purchase of both individual bonds and exchange-traded bond funds.
Despite ongoing uncertainty regarding the economic outlook, investors continued to display a robust appetite for risk. The near-zero interest rate policy of the Fed, together with the ultra-low rates in place in other major world economies, as well as greater appetite for fiscal spending, was a key catalyst for market performance.
Investors' appetite for risk improved considerably in early November, when the approval of vaccines for COVID-19 raised expectations that the world economy could gradually return to normal in 2021. The conclusion of the U.S. elections, which removed a source of uncertainty that had depressed performance in September and October, was an additional tailwind. The markets were also aided by continued indications that the Fed and other central banks would maintain their highly accommodative policies indefinitely, not least an agreement on a new round of U.S. fiscal stimulus further cheered investors in late December. Together, these developments outweighed negative headlines surrounding renewed lockdowns and the persistence of COVID-19.
As the dust settled on a tumultuous and historic year, global financial markets reflected the optimism of a reflating global economic environment in a post-pandemic future. All the major global equity market indexes had posted strong returns, with bonds following suit. In the United States, large-cap value stocks had a very strong rebound in the fourth

Manager's Commentary (continued)
quarter in anticipation of economic reflation. However, those returns were still dwarfed by the enormous annual returns posted by large-cap growth stocks, led by the information technology and consumer discretionary 'stay-at-home' stocks.
• How did the USAA Nasdaq-100 Index Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?
The Fund has five share classes: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, Class C and R6 Shares. The Fund closely tracked its benchmark, the broad-based Nasdaq-100 Index (the "Index"), during the reporting period ended December 31, 2020. The Fund Shares and R6 Shares had total returns of 48.30% and 48.51%, respectively. The Institutional Shares, Class A, and Class C commenced operations on June 29, 2020, and from that time through December 31, 2020, had total returns of 29.60%, 29.46%, and 28.95%, respectively. This compares to total returns of 48.88% for the Index. The Index represents 100 of the largest nonfinancial companies listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market® and is not available for direct investment.
• Please describe sector performance during the reporting period.
In 2020, the Nasdaq 100 Index outperformed the S&P 500 Index, which returned 18.40%.
The outperformance of the growth focused Nasdaq 100 Index was led by information technology and consumer discretionary stocks. The strong return in these sectors more than offset the underperformance in the consumer staples and utilities sectors.
Thank you for allowing us to assist you with your investment needs.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2020 |
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 46 funds and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with no par value.
The accompanying financial statements are those of the USAA Nasdaq-100 Index Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers five classes of shares: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, Class C and R6 Shares. The Fund is classified as non-diversified under the 1940 Act. The Institutional Shares, Class A and Class C were effective June 29, 2020.
Each class of shares of the Fund has substantially identical rights and privileges, except with respect to sales charges, 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.
Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or 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.
18
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 |
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 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.
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 December 31, 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):
Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | ||||||||||||||||
Common Stocks | $ | 3,658,832 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 3,658,832 | |||||||||||

Total | $ | 635 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 635 |
^ Futures contracts are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the investment.
For the year ended December 31, 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.
Investment Companies:
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.
19
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 |
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 against 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 reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under Deposit with brokers for futures contracts.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Fund entered into futures contracts primarily for the strategy of gaining exposure to a particular asset class or securities market.
Summary of Derivative Instruments:
The following table summarizes the fair values of derivative instruments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, categorized by risk exposure, as of December 31, 2020 (amounts in thousands):

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 |
All open derivative positions at period 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.
Withholding taxes on interest, dividends and gains as a result of certain investments in ADRs by the Fund have been provided for in accordance with each investment's applicable country's tax rules and rates.
Securities Lending:
The Fund, through a securities lending agreement with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), may lend its securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. Borrowers are required to secure their loans for collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non-U.S. securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls associated with increases in the valuation of the securities loaned are cured the next business day once the shortfall exceeds $100 thousand. Collateral may be cash, U.S. government securities, or other securities as permitted by Securities and Exchange Commission ("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 Investments and Financial Statements while non-cash collateral is not included.
The following table (amounts in thousands) is a summary of the Fund's securities lending transactions as of December 31, 2020.
Value of Securities on Loan | Non-Cash Collateral | Cash Collateral | |||||||||
$ | 8,109 | $ | — | $ | 8.550 |
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.
21
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 |
Federal Income Taxes:
It is the Fund's policy to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Fund has a tax year end of December 31.
Management of the Fund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax 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.
3. Purchases and Sales:
Cost of purchases and proceeds from sales/maturities of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) for the year ended December 31, 2020, were as follows for the Fund (amounts in thousands):
Excluding U.S. Government Securities | |||||||||||
Purchases | Sales | ||||||||||
$ | 522,141 | $ | 495,966 |
There were no purchases or sales of U.S. government securities during the year ended December 31, 2020
4. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties:
Investment Advisory Fees:
Investment advisory services are provided to the Fund by the Adviser, which is a New York corporation registered as an investment adviser with the SEC.

Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive fees accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the year ended December 31, 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 year ended December 31, 2020, the Fund had no subadvisers.

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 June 30, 2023. 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 December 31, 2020, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) are 0.48%, 0.44%, 0.70%, 1.45% and 0.40% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, Class C, and R6 Shares, respectively.
Under this expense limitation agreement, the Fund has agreed to repay fees and expenses that were waived or reimbursed by the Adviser for a period up to three years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement took place, subject to the lesser of any operating expense limits in effect at the time of: (a) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (b) the recoupment, after giving effect to the recoupment amount. As of December 31, 2020, the following amounts are 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 December 31, 2020.
Expires December 31, 2023 | Total | ||||||
$ | 22 | $ | 22 |
The Adviser may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Fund in maintaining competitive expense ratios. Voluntary waivers and reimbursements applicable to the Fund are not available to be recouped at a future time. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the year ended December 31, 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, Custodian and Distributor.
5. Risks:
The Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
Geopolitical/Natural Disaster Risk — 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. Likewise, systemic market dislocations of the kind that occurred during the financial crisis that began in 2008, if repeated, would be highly disruptive to economies and markets, adversely affecting individual companies and industries, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of a Fund's investments. Some countries, including the United States, are adopting more protectionist trade policies and moving away from the tighter financial industry regulations that followed the 2008 financial crisis, which may also affect the value of a Fund's investments.
Political events within the United States at times have resulted, and may in the future result, in a shutdown of government services, which could negatively affect the U.S. economy, decrease the value

of a Fund's investments, increase uncertainty in or impair the operation of the U.S. or other securities markets and degrade investor and consumer confidence, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree.
An outbreak of disease called COVID-19 has spread internationally. The transmission of COVID-19 and efforts to contain its spread have resulted in international, national and local border closings and other significant travel restrictions and disruptions, significant disruptions to business operations, supply chains and consumer activity, significant challenges in healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines and general concern and uncertainty. These negative impacts have caused significant volatility and declines in global financial markets, which have caused losses for Fund investors during and subsequent to period end. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may last for an extended period of time, and could result in a substantial economic downturn or recession. Public health crises may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social, economic, market and financial risks. The extent of the impact to the financial performance of the Funds' investments will depend on future developments, including (i) the duration and spread of the outbreak, (ii) the restrictions and advisories, (iii) the effects on the financial markets, and (iv) the effects on the economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Stock Market Risk — 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.
Equity Risk — 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 Securities Risk — 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 year ended December 31, 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, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with Victory Floating Rate Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the agreement is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended December 31, 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 year ended December 31, 2020.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 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, that is permitted to participate in the Facility, 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, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund's borrowing restrictions. 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 year ended December 31, 2020.
7. Federal Income Tax Information:
The Fund intends to distribute any net investment income annually. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
As of December 31, 2020, on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, there were no permanent book-to-tax difference reclassification adjustments.
The tax character of distributions paid during the tax years ended as noted below, were as follows (total distributions paid may differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because, for tax purposes, dividends are recognized when actually paid) (amounts in thousands).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA Nasdaq-100 Index Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA Nasdaq-100 Index Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of December 31, 2020, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund at December 31, 2020, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2020, by correspondence with the custodian. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more Victory Capital investment companies since 1995.

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. Form N-PORT is 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 July 1, 2020 through December 31, 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.

Considerations of the Board in Continuing the Investment Advisory Agreement
USAA Nasdaq-100 Index Fund (the "Fund")
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") held on December 10-11, 2020, the Board, including the Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Trust (the "Independent Trustees"), approved for an annual period the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") between the Trust and Victory Capital Management Inc. (the "Adviser") with respect to the Fund. Prior to the December 10-11, 2020 meeting at which the Advisory Agreement was approved, the Independent Trustees also discussed and considered information regarding the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement at a meeting held on November 19, 2020.
In advance of the foregoing meetings, the Trustees received and considered a variety of information relating to the Advisory Agreement and the Adviser, and were given the opportunity to ask questions and request additional information from management. The information provided to the Board included, among other things: (i) a separate report prepared by an independent third party of mutual fund data, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Fund's investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable investment companies; (ii) information concerning the services rendered to the Fund, as well as information regarding the Adviser's revenues and costs of providing services to the Fund and compensation paid to affiliates of the Adviser; and (iii) information about the Adviser's operations and personnel. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees reviewed the proposed continuance of the Advisory Agreement with management and with experienced independent counsel retained by the Independent Trustees ("Independent Counsel") and received materials from such Independent Counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund in private sessions with Independent Counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
At each regularly scheduled meeting of the Board and its committees, the Board receives and reviews, among other things, information concerning the Fund's performance and related services provided by the Adviser. At the meeting at which the renewal of the Advisory Agreement is considered, particular focus is given to information concerning Fund performance, fees and total expenses as compared to comparable investment companies, and the Adviser's profitability with respect to the Fund. However, the Board noted that the evaluation process with respect to the Adviser is an ongoing one. In this regard, the Board's and its committees' consideration of the Advisory Agreement included information previously received at such meetings.
Advisory Agreement
After full consideration of a variety of factors, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Advisory Agreement. In approving the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors. Throughout their deliberations, the Independent Trustees were represented and assisted by Independent Counsel.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services — In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Adviser relating to its operations and personnel. The Board also took into account its knowledge of the Adviser's management and the quality of the performance of the Adviser's duties through Board meetings, discussions, and reports during the preceding year. The Board considered the fees paid to the Adviser and the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, as well as other services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates under other agreements, and the personnel who provide these services. In addition to the investment advisory services provided to the Fund, the Adviser and its affiliates provide administrative services, shareholder services, oversight of Fund accounting, marketing services, assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, and other services necessary for the operation of the Fund and the Trust.
The Board considered the scope of services provided by, and the undertakings required of, the Adviser in connection with those services, including, among other things, maintaining (i) its own and the Fund's compliance programs, (ii) risk management programs, (iii) liquidity risk management programs, and (iv) cybersecurity
37

(Unaudited)
programs, each of which had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market, and other developments. The Board also considered the significant risks assumed by the Adviser in connection with the services provided to the Fund, including investment, operational, enterprise, litigation, regulatory and compliance risks.
The Board considered the Adviser's management style and the performance of the Adviser's duties under the Advisory Agreement. The Board considered the level and depth of knowledge of the Adviser, including the professional experience and qualifications of its senior and investment personnel, as well as current staffing levels. The allocation of the Fund's brokerage, including the Adviser's process for monitoring "best execution," also was considered. The Adviser's role in coordinating the activities of the Fund's other service providers was also considered. The Board also considered the Adviser's risk management processes. The Board considered the Adviser's financial condition and that it had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide the same scope and high quality of services under the Advisory Agreement. In reviewing the Advisory Agreement, the Board focused on the experience, resources, and strengths of the Adviser and its affiliates in managing the Fund, as well as the other funds in the Trust.
The Board also reviewed the compliance and administrative services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates, including the Adviser's oversight of the Fund's day-to-day operations and oversight of Fund accounting. The Trustees, guided also by information obtained from their experiences as trustees of the Trust, also focused on the quality of the Adviser's compliance and administrative staff.
Expenses and Performance — In connection with its consideration of the Advisory Agreement, the Board evaluated the Fund's advisory fees and total expense ratio as compared to other open-end investment companies deemed to be comparable to the Fund as determined by the independent third party in its report. The Fund's expenses were compared to (i) a group of investment companies chosen by the independent third party to be comparable to the Fund based upon certain factors, including fund type, comparability of investment objective and classification, sales load type, asset size, and expense components (the "expense group") and (ii) a larger group of investment companies with the same investment classification/objective as the Fund regardless of asset size, excluding outliers (the "expense universe"). Among other data, the Board noted that the Fund's management fee rate — which includes advisory and administrative services as well as any fee waivers and reimbursements — was below the median of its expense group and its expense universe. The data indicated that the Fund's total expenses, including after any reimbursements, were below the median of its expense group and its expense universe. The Board also took into account the Adviser's current undertakings to maintain expense limitations for the Fund. The Board took into account the various other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates, and noted the high quality of services received by the Fund. The Board also noted the high level of correlation between the Nasdaq-100 Index and the Fund and the relatively low tracking error between the Fund and the Nasdaq-100 Index, and noted that it reviews such information on a periodic basis.
In considering the Fund's performance, the Board noted that it reviews at its regularly scheduled meetings information about the Fund's performance results. The Trustees also reviewed various comparative data provided to them in connection with their consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Fund's average annual total returns relative to its Lipper index and other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group by the independent third party in its report (the "performance universe"). The Fund's performance universe consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional open-end investment companies with the same classification/objective as the Fund regardless of asset size or primary channel of distribution. This comparison indicated that, among other data, the Fund's performance was above the average of its performance universe and its Lipper index for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2020.
Compensation and Profitability — The Board took into consideration the level and method of computing the management fee. The information considered by the Board included operating profit margin information for the Adviser's business as a whole. The Board also received and considered profitability information related to the management revenues from the Fund. This information included a review of the methodology used in the allocation of certain costs to the Fund. In considering the profitability data with respect to the Fund, the Trustees noted that the Adviser reimbursed or waived a portion of its management fees to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed the profitability of the Adviser's relationship with the Fund before tax expenses. The Board was also provided with a profitability analysis of other publicly traded asset managers prepared by an independent information service. In reviewing the overall profitability of the management fee to the Adviser, the Board also considered

(Unaudited)
the fact that the Adviser and its affiliates provide shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Fund for which they receive compensation. The Board also considered the possible direct and indirect benefits to the Adviser from its relationship with the Trust, including that the Adviser may derive reputational and other benefits from its association with the Fund. The Trustees recognized that the Adviser should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits in exchange for the level of services it provides to the Fund and the entrepreneurial and other risks that it assumes as Adviser.
Economies of Scale — The Board considered whether there should be changes in the management fee rate or structure in order to enable the Fund to participate in any economies of scale. The Board also considered the fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements by the Adviser. The Board took into account management's discussion of the Fund's current advisory fee structure. The Board also considered the effect of the Fund's change in size, if any, on its performance and fees, noting that the Fund may realize other economies of scale if assets increase proportionally more than expenses. The Board determined that the current investment management fee structure was reasonable.
Conclusions — The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Fund's Advisory Agreement with the Adviser: (i) the Adviser has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Advisory Agreement; (ii) the Adviser maintains an appropriate compliance program; (iii) the overall performance of the Fund is reasonable in relation to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant indices and in view of the Fund's investment objective of tracking its designated index; (iv) the Fund's advisory expenses are reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Adviser; and (v) the Adviser's and its affiliates' level of profitability from their relationship with the Fund is reasonable in light of the nature and high quality of services provided by the Adviser and the type of fund. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that continuation of the Advisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Dear Shareholder,
When we look back on 2020, we will undoubtedly remember it as an extraordinary year. A year ago, no one could have imagined the unusual events that would challenge us personally, professionally, and collectively as a nation. But in retrospect, the trajectory of financial markets over the past year was nothing short of extraordinary.
The year began with rudimentary worries, such as economic growth rates, trade deals, and interest rates. But a novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") and the subsequent worldwide spread of COVID-19 became an unprecedented event. To combat the pandemic, governments everywhere issued austere shelter-in-place orders, and the global economy slowed markedly. Equity markets sold off sharply in March and April, and second quarter domestic GDP contracted by an alarming annual rate of 31.4%, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce.
It's no surprise that so many investors flocked to the perceived safety of U.S. Treasurys. Meanwhile, liquidity evaporated (for a short spell) in many other segments of the fixed-income market, including higher-yielding credits and municipal bonds. The outlook was tenuous, and credit spreads widened while prices declined for most securities perceived to be higher risk.
A response, however, came swiftly. The U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") and other monetary authorities worldwide leapt into action—cutting interest rates, (re)starting quantitative easing and, in the case of the Fed, launching an array of programs to provide liquidity to stabilize fixed-income markets. The U.S. government also stepped up to provide fiscal stimulus in the form of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act).
It was impressive how quickly those actions helped end the stock market's free fall and restore order across much of the fixed-income universe. The rebound was almost as robust as the drawdown, and third quarter GDP (the most recent finalized data available) grew at a 33.4% annualized rate, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Late in the year, markets were alternately fueled and roiled by a contentious election season, growing optimism for an effective vaccine, and a fluid debate regarding the need for additional fiscal stimulus. Ultimately, stocks were propelled higher in the fourth quarter when it became clear that Congress would provide another dose of fiscal stimulus in the form of direct payments, more unemployment insurance, and additional aid to businesses.
Through all the unprecedented events and extreme volatility, the S&P 500® Index registered an impressive annual return of 18.40% for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2020. Meanwhile, the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasurys declined 95 basis points over the same period, reflecting both the Fed's interest rate cuts and its pledge to keep rates low for longer. The yield on 10-Year U.S. Treasurys was 0.93% as of December 31, 2020.
While markets endured and performed admirably during 2020, perhaps the key takeaway is that the unexpected can and will happen. That's why it's important to remain focused on your long-term investment goals and avoid making emotional decisions.

• What were the market conditions over the reporting period?
Economic conditions generally were favorable entering 2020 as gross domestic product ("GDP") increased at an annual rate of 2.1% in the fourth quarter of 2019. Further, at the end of 2019, the unemployment rate of 3.5% was at the lowest level since 1969 when it touched 3.4%, inflation was benign at 1.8%, and interest rates were low with the Federal Funds Rate targeted at a range of between 1.50% and 1.75%. The economic momentum was short-lived, however, as a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19, started spreading rapidly in the Chinese city of Wuhan in late 2019 and shortly thereafter began showing up in other countries. Ultimately, COVID-19 became a pandemic and countries around the world, including the United States, began "locking down" their economies in an all-out effort to contain the virus. In the United States, the lockdowns began in March and significantly affected almost every area of the economy. Real GDP fell 5% in the first quarter of 2020, and a record 32.9% in the second quarter of 2020, thus officially marking the economy as being in a recession for the first time since 2009.
In the United States, the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic significantly altered market conditions and economic growth expectations. Market volatility far surpassed levels seen during the Global Financial Crisis; the steepness and rapidity of the decline in equity indices was even more pronounced than in 2008-2009 and, in many respects, more closely resembled that seen in the 1930s. Credit spreads tumbled violently across all fixed-income asset classes, and the new issue market was temporarily frozen. Short-term credit markets, usually reliably stable and orderly, sharply dislocated and nearly ceased to function, a result of indiscriminate selling to raise liquidity. The policy response to restore financial system order from the country's monetary authorities and the federal government was quick and substantial. The U.S. Federal Reserve reduced its federal funds rate nearly to zero, re-instituted various Financial Crisis-era credit support programs, and even added new tools to support an economy under fierce assault from the pandemic. The federal government acted to support the economy with Congress and the President passing a $2 trillion relief package in March 2020, and a second round of stimulus of $900 billion passing in December 2020.
The coordinated monetary and fiscal programs to stem the economic malaise caused by COVID-19 markedly improved sentiment and markets rebounded. After credit markets reopened, corporations' desire to stockpile liquidity in the face of unprecedented uncertainty led to a deluge of bond issuance. Issuance of debt rated investment grade in 2020 reached a record of $1.76 trillion, easily surpassing the prior peak of $1.25 trillion in 2017 by $500 billion with issuers preferring longer tenor paper, even as the yield curve

Manager's Commentary (continued)
steepened. Issuance of floating rate paper in the front end of the curve declined dramatically by $51 billion, or 31%, and practically was nonexistent for a couple of quarters. That technical weighed on existing paper, which lagged its fixed-rate counterparts in the early months of the spread recovery. Overall, the Barclays Intermediate Investment Grade Corporate Index spread started the reporting period at approximately +93 basis points and ended at +96 basis points, only three basis points wider. The modest year-end spread change masks an approximate 277 basis point selloff to a wide of +373 basis points in the first quarter of 2020. The 1-3yr Corporate Index fell by an even greater amount with spreads hitting a wide of +390 basis points, highlighting the aforementioned dislocation.
• How did the USAA Ultra Short-Term Bond Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?
The Fund has four share classes: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A and R6 Shares. For the reporting period ended December 31, 2020, the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and R6 Shares had total returns of 2.81%, 2.87%, and 3.02%, respectively. Class A commenced operations on June 29, 2020, and from that time through December 31, 2020, had a total return of 3.02%. This compares to total returns of 0.58% for the FTSE 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index (formerly the Citigroup 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index) and 1.84% for the Lipper Ultra Short Obligations Funds Index.
• What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?
The Fund was focused on maintaining adequate liquidity for much of the first half of the reporting period in the wake of the pandemic. In keeping with our disciplined investment approach, we selectively sought relative value opportunities among various sectors near the front end of the yield curve. As always, we worked closely with our in-house team of credit analysts, who use independent credit research, to continuously monitor Fund holdings for both creditworthiness and relative value, and to identify and evaluate potential investments. As the Fund entered the reporting period with a longer duration than the FTSE 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index and the Lipper Ultra Short Obligations Funds Index, declining short-term interest rates were a meaningful positive contributor to performance. Tightening credit spreads also added to performance. Throughout all types of interest rate and credit spread environments, we intend to seek out what we believe are selective opportunities along the front end of curve.
At the end of the reporting period, the Fund had a weighted average maturity of less than one year at 0.81. The portfolio's duration, which is a measure of its sensitivity to changes in interest rates, was slightly lower at 0.75. Both of these measures are notably down from the prior reporting period, which generally were in line with historical norms. We expect this to be the case going forward to lessen NAV volatility and better align with preservation of principal, one of the Fund's investment objectives.
Thank you for allowing us to assist you with your investment needs.

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 December 31, 2020 |
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 46 funds and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with no par value.
The accompanying financial statements are those of the USAA Ultra Short-Term Bond Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers four classes of shares: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, (effective June 29, 2020) and R6 Shares. The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.
Each class of shares of the Fund has substantially identical rights and privileges, except with respect to fees paid under distribution plans, expenses allocable exclusively to each class of shares, voting rights on matters solely affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange privilege of each class of shares.
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.
Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or 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.
28
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 |
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 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 their 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.
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 December 31, 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):

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:
Open-End Funds:
The Fund may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the board of directors of the underlying funds.
Securities Purchased on a Delayed-Delivery or When-Issued Basis:
The Fund may purchase securities on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis or for delayed draws on loans can take place a month or more after the trade date. At the time the Fund makes the commitment to purchase a security on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis, the Fund records the transaction and reflects the value of the security in determining 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.
Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities:
The values of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Fund to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The values of mortgage and asset-backed securities depend in part on the credit quality and adequacy of the underlying assets or collateral and may fluctuate in response to the market's perception of these factors as well as current and future repayment rates. Some mortgage-backed securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government (e.g., mortgage-backed securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association, commonly known as "Ginnie Mae"), while other mortgage-backed securities (e.g., mortgage-backed securities issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, commonly known as "Fannie Mae" and "Freddie Mac", respectively), are backed only by the credit of the government entity issuing them. In addition, some mortgage-backed securities are issued by private entities and, as such, are not guaranteed by the U.S. government or any agency or instrumentality of the U.S. government.
Leveraged Loans:
The Fund may invest in leveraged loans, a type of bank loan. Leveraged loans are adjustable-rate bank loans made to companies rated below investment grade. The interest rates on leveraged loans are reset periodically based upon the fluctuations of a base interest rate such as LIBOR and a "spread" above that base interest rate that represents a risk premium to the lending banks and/or other participating investors. Many bank loans bear an adjustable rate of interest; however, leveraged loans provide for a greater "spread" over the base interest rate than other bank loans because they are considered to represent a greater credit risk. Because they are perceived to represent a greater credit risk, leveraged loans possess certain attributes that are similar to high-yield securities. However, because they are often secured by collateral of the borrower, leveraged loans possess certain attributes that are similar to other bank loans.

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 Securities and Exchange Commission ("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 Investments and Financial Statements while non-cash collateral is not included.
The following table (amounts in thousands) is a summary of the Fund's securities lending transactions as of December 31, 2020.
Value of Securities on Loan | Non-Cash Collateral | Cash Collateral | |||||||||
$ | 479 | $ | — | $ | 491 |
Federal Income Taxes:
It is the Fund's policy to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Fund has a tax year end of December 31.
Management of the Fund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax 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 year ended December 31, 2020, the Fund engaged in the following securities transactions with affiliated funds, which resulted in the following net realized gains (losses) (amounts in thousands):
Purchases | Sales | Gains (Losses) | |||||||||

4. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties:
Investment Advisory Fees:
Investment advisory services are provided to the Fund by the Adviser, which is a New York corporation registered as an investment adviser with the SEC. The Adviser is a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Victory Capital Holdings, Inc., a publicly traded Delaware corporation, and a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Victory Capital Operating, LLC.
Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive a base fee and a performance adjustment. The Fund's base fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.24% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the year ended December 31, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Investment Advisory fees.
On November 6, 2018, United Services Automobile Association ("USAA"), the parent company of USAA Asset Management Company ("AMCO"), the prior investment adviser to the Fund announced that AMCO would be acquired by Victory Capital Holdings Inc.(the "Transaction"). A special shareholder meeting was held on April 18, 2019, at which shareholders of the Fund approved a new investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital"). The Transaction closed on July 1, 2019. Effective July 1, 2019, VCM replaced AMCO as the investment adviser to the Fund and no performance adjustments were made for the periods beginning
32
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 |
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 Ultra Short Obligations Funds Index. The Lipper Ultra Short Obligations Funds Index tracks the total return performance of each class within the Lipper Ultra Short Obligations 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 each respective class over the entire performance period, which is then multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the month and the denominator of which is 365 (366 in leap years). The resulting amount is then added to (in the case of overperformance), or subtracted from (in the case of underperformance) the base fee.
Under the performance fee arrangement, each class pays a positive performance fee adjustment for a performance period whenever the class outperforms the Lipper Ultra Short Obligations Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
For the period July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020, performance adjustments were $29 thousand, $1 thousand, less than ($1) thousand, and $1 thousand for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A and R6 Shares, respectively. Performance adjustments were 0.01%, 0.01%, less than (0.01)%, and 0.02% of average daily net assets for the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A and R6 Shares, 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 year ended December 31, 2020, the Fund had no subadvisors.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM serves as the Fund's administrator and fund accountant. Under the Administration and Fund Accounting Agreement, VCM is paid for its services an annual fee at a rate of 0.15%, 0.10%, 0.15% and 0.05% of average daily net assets of the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, and R6 Shares, respectively. Amounts incurred for the year ended December 31, 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, compensate the Adviser for these services. Amounts incurred for the year ended December 31, 2020, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Compliance fees.

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 June 30, 2023. 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 December 31, 2020, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 0.60%, 0.55%, 0.85%, and 0.39% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A and R6 Shares, respectively.
Under this expense limitation agreement, the Fund has agreed to repay fees and expenses that were waived or reimbursed by the Adviser for a period up to three years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement took place, subject to the lesser of any operating expense limits in effect at the time of: (a) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (b) the recoupment, after giving effect to the recoupment amount. As of December 31, 2020, the following amounts are available to be repaid

The Adviser, may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Fund in maintaining competitive expense ratios. Voluntary waivers and reimbursements applicable to the Fund are not available to be recouped at a future time. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the year ended December 31, 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, Custodian and Distributor.
5. Risks:
The Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
Geopolitical/Natural Disaster Risk — 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. Likewise, systemic market dislocations of the kind that occurred during the financial crisis that began in 2008, if repeated, would be highly disruptive to economies and markets, adversely affecting individual companies and industries, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of a Fund's investments. Some countries, including the United States, are adopting more protectionist trade policies and moving away from the tighter financial industry regulations that followed the 2008 financial crisis, which may also affect the value of a Fund's investments.
Political events within the United States at times have resulted, and may in the future result, in a shutdown of government services, which could negatively affect the U.S. economy, decrease the value of a Fund's investments, increase uncertainty in or impair the operation of the U.S. or other securities markets and degrade investor and consumer confidence, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree.
An outbreak of disease called COVID-19 has spread internationally. The transmission of COVID-19 and efforts to contain its spread have resulted in international, national and local border closings and other significant travel restrictions and disruptions, significant disruptions to business operations, supply chains and consumer activity, significant challenges in healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines and general concern and uncertainty. These negative impacts have caused significant volatility and declines in global financial markets, which have caused losses for Fund investors during and subsequent to period end. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may last for an extended period of time, and could result in a substantial economic downturn or recession. Public health crises may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social, economic, market and financial risks. The extent of the impact to the financial performance of the Funds' investments will depend on future developments, including (i) the duration and spread of the outbreak, (ii) the restrictions and advisories, (iii) the effects on the financial markets, and (iv) the effects on the economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Credit Risk — 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
35
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 |
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.
Debt Securities 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.
Management Risk — The Fund is actively managed, and the investment techniques and risk analyses used by the Fund's portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
LIBOR Discontinuation Risk — 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. For U.S. dollar LIBOR, however, the relevant date may be deferred to June 30, 2023 for the most common tenors (overnight and one, three, six and 12 months). As to those tenors, the LIBOR administrator has published a consultation regarding its intention to cease publication of U.S. dollar LIBOR as of June 30, 2023 (instead of December 31, 2021, as previously expected), apparently based on continued rate submissions from banks. It is expected that there will 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. Although the foregoing may provide some sense of timing, there is no assurance that LIBOR, or any particular currency and tenor, will continue to be published until any particular date, and it appears highly likely that LIBOR will be discontinued or modified after December 31, 2021 or June 30, 2023, depending on the currency and tenor. 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.
Foreign Securities Risk — 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 year ended December 31, 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, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with Victory Floating Rate Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the agreement is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended December 31, 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 year ended December 31, 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, that is permitted to participate in the Facility, 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, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund's borrowing restrictions. 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 year ended December 31, 2020 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Borrower or Lender | Amount Outstanding at December 31, 2020 | Average Borrowing* | Days Borrowing Outstanding | Average Interest Rate* | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | ||||||||||||||||||
Borrower | $ | — | $ | 4,541 | 1 | 0.89 | % | $ | 4,541 |
* For the year ended December 31, 2020, based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding.
7. Federal Income Tax Information:
The Fund intends to 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
37
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued December 31, 2020 |
the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
As of December 31, 2020, on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, there were no permanent book-to-tax difference reclassification adjustments.
The tax character of distributions paid during the tax years ended as noted below, were as follows (total distributions paid may differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because, for tax purposes, dividends are recognized when actually paid) (amounts in thousands).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA Ultra Short-Term Bond Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA Ultra Short-Term Bond Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of December 31, 2020, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund at December 31, 2020, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2020, by correspondence with the custodian, agent banks, and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more Victory Capital investment companies since 1995.

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. Form N-PORT is 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 July 1, 2020 through December 31, 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.

Considerations of the Board in Continuing the Investment Advisory Agreement
USAA Ultra Short-Term Bond Fund (the "Fund")
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") held on December 10-11, 2020, the Board, including the Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Trust (the "Independent Trustees"), approved for an annual period the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") between the Trust and Victory Capital Management Inc. (the "Adviser") with respect to the Fund. Prior to the December 10-11, 2020 meeting at which the Advisory Agreement was approved, the Independent Trustees also discussed and considered information regarding the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement at a meeting held on November 19, 2020.
In advance of the foregoing meetings, the Trustees received and considered a variety of information relating to the Advisory Agreement and the Adviser, and were given the opportunity to ask questions and request additional information from management. The information provided to the Board included, among other things: (i) a separate report prepared by an independent third party of mutual fund data, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Fund's investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable investment companies; (ii) information concerning the services rendered to the Fund, as well as information regarding the Adviser's revenues and costs of providing services to the Fund and compensation paid to affiliates of the Adviser; and (iii) information about the Adviser's operations and personnel. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees reviewed the proposed continuance of the Advisory Agreement with management and with experienced independent counsel retained by the Independent Trustees ("Independent Counsel") and received materials from such Independent Counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund in private sessions with Independent Counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
At each regularly scheduled meeting of the Board and its committees, the Board receives and reviews, among other things, information concerning the Fund's performance and related services provided by the Adviser. At the meeting at which the renewal of the Advisory Agreement is considered, particular focus is given to information concerning Fund performance, fees and total expenses as compared to comparable investment companies, and the Adviser's profitability with respect to the Fund. However, the Board noted that the evaluation process with respect to the Adviser is an ongoing one. In this regard, the Board's and its committees' consideration of the Advisory Agreement included information previously received at such meetings.
Advisory Agreement
After full consideration of a variety of factors, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Advisory Agreement. In approving the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors. Throughout their deliberations, the Independent Trustees were represented and assisted by Independent Counsel.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services — In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Adviser relating to its operations and personnel. The Board also took into account its knowledge of the Adviser's management and the quality of the performance of the Adviser's duties through Board meetings, discussions, and reports during the preceding year. The Board considered the fees paid to the Adviser and the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, as well as other services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates under other agreements, and the personnel who provide these services. In addition to the investment advisory services provided to the Fund, the Adviser and its affiliates provide administrative services, shareholder services, oversight of Fund accounting, marketing services, assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, and other services necessary for the operation of the Fund and the Trust.
The Board considered the scope of services provided by, and the undertakings required of, the Adviser in connection with those services, including, among other things, maintaining (i) its own and the Fund's compliance programs, (ii) risk management programs, (iii) liquidity risk management programs, and (iv) cybersecurity
48
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Supplemental Information — continued December 31, 2020 |
(Unaudited)
programs, each of which had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market, and other developments. The Board also considered the significant risks assumed by the Adviser in connection with the services provided to the Fund, including investment, operational, enterprise, litigation, regulatory and compliance risks.
The Board considered the Adviser's management style and the performance of the Adviser's duties under the Advisory Agreement. The Board considered the level and depth of knowledge of the Adviser, including the professional experience and qualifications of its senior and investment personnel, as well as current staffing levels. The allocation of the Fund's brokerage, including the Adviser's process for monitoring "best execution," also was considered. The Adviser's role in coordinating the activities of the Fund's other service providers was also considered. The Board also considered the Adviser's risk management processes. The Board considered the Adviser's financial condition and that it had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide the same scope and high quality of services under the Advisory Agreement. In reviewing the Advisory Agreement, the Board focused on the experience, resources, and strengths of the Adviser and its affiliates in managing the Fund, as well as the other funds in the Trust.
The Board also reviewed the compliance and administrative services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates, including the Adviser's oversight of the Fund's day-to-day operations and oversight of Fund accounting. The Trustees, guided also by information obtained from their experiences as trustees of the Trust, also focused on the quality of the Adviser's compliance and administrative staff.
Expenses and Performance — In connection with its consideration of the Advisory Agreement, the Board evaluated the Fund's advisory fees and total expense ratio as compared to other open-end investment companies deemed to be comparable to the Fund as determined by the independent third party in its report. The Fund's expenses were compared to (i) a group of investment companies chosen by the independent third party to be comparable to the Fund based upon certain factors, including fund type, comparability of investment objective and classification, sales load type, asset size, and expense components (the "expense group") and (ii) a larger group of investment companies with the same investment classification/objective as the Fund regardless of asset size, excluding outliers (the "expense universe"). Among other data, the Board noted that the Fund's management fee rate — which includes advisory and administrative services and the effects of any performance adjustment1, as well as any fee waivers and reimbursements — was above the median of its expense group and its expense universe. The data indicated that the Fund's total expenses, including after any reimbursements, were above the median of its expense group and its expense universe. The Board also took into account the Adviser's current undertakings to maintain expense limitations for the Fund. The Board took into account the various other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates, and noted the high quality of services received by the Fund.
In considering the Fund's performance, the Board noted that it reviews at its regularly scheduled meetings information about the Fund's performance results. The Trustees also reviewed various comparative data provided to them in connection with their consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Fund's average annual total returns relative to its Lipper index and other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group by the independent third party in its report (the "performance universe"). The Fund's performance universe consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional open-end investment companies with the same classification/objective as the Fund regardless of asset size or primary channel of distribution. This comparison indicated that, among other data, the Fund's performance was above the average of its performance universe and its Lipper index for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended September 30, 2020.
Compensation and Profitability — The Board took into consideration the level and method of computing the management fee. The information considered by the Board included operating profit margin information for the Adviser's business as a whole. The Board also received and considered profitability information related to the management revenues from the Fund. This information included a review of the methodology used in the allocation of certain costs to the Fund. In considering the profitability data with respect to the Fund, the Trustees noted that the Adviser reimbursed or waived a portion of its management fees to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed the profitability of the Adviser's relationship with the Fund before tax expenses. The Board was also provided
1 The Adviser has agreed that no performance adjustment (positive or negative) would be made to the amount payable to the Adviser from July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020.
49
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Supplemental Information — continued December 31, 2020 |
(Unaudited)
with a profitability analysis of other publicly traded asset managers prepared by an independent information service. In reviewing the overall profitability of the management fee to the Adviser, the Board also considered the fact that the Adviser and its affiliates provide shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Fund for which they receive compensation. The Board also considered the possible direct and indirect benefits to the Adviser from its relationship with the Trust, including that the Adviser may derive reputational and other benefits from its association with the Fund. The Trustees recognized that the Adviser should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits in exchange for the level of services it provides to the Fund and the entrepreneurial and other risks that it assumes as Adviser.
Economies of Scale — The Board considered whether there should be changes in the management fee rate or structure in order to enable the Fund to participate in any economies of scale. The Board also considered the fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements by the Adviser. The Board took into account management's discussion of the Fund's current advisory fee structure. The Board also considered the effect of the Fund's change in size, if any, on its performance and fees, noting that the Fund may realize other economies of scale if assets increase proportionally more than expenses. The Board determined that the current investment management fee structure was reasonable.
Conclusions — The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Fund's Advisory Agreement with the Adviser: (i) the Adviser has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Advisory Agreement; (ii) the Adviser maintains an appropriate compliance program; (iii) the overall performance of the Fund is reasonable in relation to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant indices; (iv) the Fund's advisory expenses are reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Adviser; and (v) the Adviser's and its affiliates' level of profitability from their relationship with the Fund is reasonable in light of the nature and high quality of services provided by the Adviser and the type of fund. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that continuation of the Advisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
