IRA DISTRIBUTION WITHHOLDING DISCLOSURE
We generally must withhold federal income tax at a rate of 10% of the taxable portion of your distribution and, if you live in a state that requires state income tax withholding, at your state's tax rate. However, you may elect not to have withholding apply or to have income tax withheld at a higher rate. Any withholding election that you make will apply to any subsequent distribution unless and until you change or revoke the election. If you wish to make a withholding election, or change or revoke a prior withholding election, call (800) 235-8396, and form W-4P (OMB No. 1545-0074 withholding certificate for pension or annuity payments) will be electronically sent.
If you do not have a withholding election in place by the date of a distribution, federal income tax will be withheld from the taxable portion of your distribution at a rate of 10%. If you must pay estimated taxes, you may be subject to estimated tax penalties if your estimated tax payments are not sufficient and sufficient tax is not withheld from your distribution.
For more specific information, please consult your tax adviser.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
1. Organization:
USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 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 Aggressive Growth 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 risks 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.
12
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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.
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 January 31, 2021, 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 | | $ | 2,026,864 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 2,026,864 | | |
Collateral for Securities Loaned | | | 6,162 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | 6,162 | | |
Total | | $ | 2,033,026 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 2,033,026 | | |
For the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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.
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.

(Unaudited)
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 January 31, 2021.
Value of Securities on Loan | | Non-Cash Collateral | | Cash Collateral | |
$ | 5,975 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 6,162 | | |
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.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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 July 31.
Management of the Fund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax years, which includes the current fiscal tax year end). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
Allocations:
Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund, while expenses that are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust, or jointly with an affiliated trust, are allocated among the respective funds in the Trust and/or affiliated trust based upon net assets or another appropriate basis.
Income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses such as transfer agent fees, state registration fees, and printing fees), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets on the date income is earned or expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred.
3. Purchases and Sales:
Cost of purchases and proceeds from sales/maturities of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) for the six months ended January 31, 2021, were as follows for the Fund (amounts in thousands):
| | Excluding U.S. Government Securities | |
| | Purchases | | Sales | |
| | | | $ | 478,214 | | | $ | 556,887 | | |
There were no purchases or sales of U.S. government securities during the six months ended January 31, 2021.
4. Affiliated Fund Ownership:
The Fund offers its shares for investment by other USAA Mutual Funds. The fund-of-funds do not invest in the underlying funds for the purpose of exercising management or control, and the affiliated fund-of-funds' annual and semi-annual reports may be viewed at vcm.com. As of January 31, 2021, certain fund-of-funds owned total outstanding shares of the Fund as follows:
Affiliated USAA Fund | | Ownership % | |
USAA Cornerstone Conservative Fund | | | 0.1 | | |
USAA Cornerstone Equity Fund | | | 0.5 | | |
5. 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.
15
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive a base fee and a performance adjustment. The Fund's base fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.50% of the first $750 million of the Fund's average daily net assets, 0.40% of that portion of the Fund's average daily net assets over $750 million but not over $1.5 billion, and 0.33% of that portion of the Fund's average daily net assets over $1.5 billion. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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 VCM. 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 period beginning July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020. Only performance beginning as of July 1, 2019, and thereafter, is utilized in calculating future performance adjustments.
The performance adjustment for each share class is accrued daily and calculated monthly by comparing each class' performance to that of the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index. The Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index tracks the total return performance of each class within the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds category.
The performance period for each share class consists of the current month plus the previous 35 months (or the number of months beginning July 1, 2019, if fewer). The following table is utilized to determine the extent of the performance adjustment:
Over/Under Performance Relative to Index (in basis points)(a) | | Annual Adjustment Rate (in basis points)(a) | |
+/- 100 to 400 | | +/- 4 | |
+/- 401 to 700 | | +/- 5 | |
+/- 701 and greater | | +/- 6 | |
(a) Based on the difference between average annual performance of the relevant share class of the Fund and its relevant Lipper index, rounded to the nearest basis point. Average daily net assets of the share class are calculated over a rolling 36 month period.
Each class' annual performance adjustment rate is multiplied by the average daily net assets of 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 Large-Cap Growth Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
For the period August 1, 2020 to January 31, 2021, performance adjustments were $(367) and $(3) for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, in thousands, respectively. Performance adjustments were (0.04)% and (0.04)% for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, respectively, of average daily net assets.
The Trust relies on an exemptive order granted to VCM and its affiliated funds by the SEC in March 2019 permitting the use of a "manager-of-managers" structure for certain funds. Under a manager-of-managers structure, the investment adviser may select (with approval of the Board and without shareholder approval) one or more subadvisers to manage the day-to-day investment of a fund's assets. For the six months ended January 31, 2021, the Fund had no subadvisors.

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.

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 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 Fund's investments will depend on future developments,
18
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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.
Market Risk — Overall 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 Stock 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 six months ended January 31, 2021, 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 six months ended January 31, 2021, Citibank received an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $300 million for providing the Line of Credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex pays a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest (one month LIBOR plus one percent) on amounts borrowed. Effective June 29, 2020, under an amended Line of Credit agreement, Citibank will also receive an annual upfront fee of 0.10% on the $300 million committed line of credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex will pay a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Interest charged to each Fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Line of credit fees.
The Fund had no borrowings under the Line of Credit agreement during the six-months ended January 31, 2021.
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
19
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
emergency purposes. The interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. As a Borrower, interest charged to the Fund, if any, during the period is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Interfund lending fees. As a Lender, interest earned by the Fund, if any, during the period is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Income on Interfund lending.
The Fund did not utilize or participate in the Facility during the six months ended January 31, 2021.
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.
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (deficit) will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending July 31, 2021.
At July 31, 2020, the Fund had net capital loss carryforwards as shown in the table below (amounts in thousands). It is unlikely that the Board will authorize a distribution of capital gains realized in the future until the capital loss carryforwards have been used.
Short-Term Amount | | Long-Term Amount | | Total | |

Effective February 12, 2021, Wasif Latif is no longer a portfolio manager of the Fund.

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information
Proxy Voting:
Information regarding the policies and procedures the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling (800) 539-3863. The information is also included in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Information relating to how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent 12 months ended June 30 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments:
The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. 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 August 1, 2020 through January 31, 2021.
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 8/1/20 | | Actual Ending Account Value 1/31/21 | | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 1/31/21 | | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 8/1/20- 1/31/21* | | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 8/1/20- 1/31/21* | | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 8/1/20- 1/31/21 | |
Fund Shares | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,137.00 | | | $ | 1,021.98 | | | $ | 3.45 | | | $ | 3.26 | | | | 0.64 | % | |
Institutional Shares | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,137.00 | | | | 1,021.88 | | | | 3.56 | | | | 3.36 | | | | 0.66 | | |
* Expenses are equal to the average account value multiplied by the Fund's annualized expense ratio multiplied by 184/365 (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 (the "Agreement")
USAA Aggressive Growth 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
22
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Supplemental Information — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(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 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.
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-year period ended September 30, 2020, and was below the average of its performance universe and its Lipper index for the 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 for the Fund's longer-term underperformance. The Board also considered management's discussion of recent changes made to the Fund and the Fund's more recent improved performance.
Compensation and Profitability — The Board took into consideration the level and method of computing the management fee. The information considered by the Board included operating profit margin information for the Adviser's business as a whole. The Board also received and considered profitability information related to
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.
23
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Supplemental Information — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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 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 noted that the Fund has advisory fee breakpoints that allow the Fund to participate in economies of scale and that such economies of scale were currently reflected in the advisory fee. The Board also considered the fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements by the Adviser. 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.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
1. Organization:
USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 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 Capital Growth 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 risks 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.
30
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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.
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 January 31, 2021, 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 | | $ | 557,654 | | | $ | 247,600 | | | $ | 12 | | | $ | 805,266 | | |
Rights | | | 9 | | | | 7 | | | | — | | | | 16 | | |
Exchange-Traded Funds | | | 1,307 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | 1,307 | | |
Collateral for Securities Loaned | | | 6,773 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | 6,773 | | |
Total | | $ | 565,743 | | | $ | 247,607 | | | $ | 12 | | | $ | 813,362 | | |
For the six months ended January 31, 2021, there were no transfers in or out of the Level 3 fair value hierarchy.
Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"):
The Fund may invest in REITs, which report information on the source of their distributions annually. REITs are pooled investment vehicles that invest primarily in income producing real estate or real estate related loans or interests (such as mortgages). Certain distributions received from REITs during the year are recorded as realized gains or return of capital as estimated by the Fund or when such information becomes known.
Investment Companies:
Exchange-Traded Funds:
The Fund may invest in ETFs, 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 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.
31
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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 January 31, 2021, the Fund had no open forward foreign exchange currency contracts.
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

(Unaudited)
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 January 31, 2021.
Value of Securities on Loan | | Non-Cash Collateral | | Cash Collateral | |
$ | 6,365 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 6,773 | | |
Foreign Currency Translations:
The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities of the Fund denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts, and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the date of the transactions. The Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are disclosed as net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments and foreign currency translations on the Statement of Operations. Any realized gains or losses from these fluctuations, including foreign currency arising from in-kind redemptions, are disclosed as net realized gains or losses from investment transactions and foreign currency translations on the Statement of Operations.
Foreign Taxes:
The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes related to foreign income received (a portion of which may be reclaimable), capital gains on the sale of securities, and certain foreign currency transactions. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Fund invests.
Federal Income Taxes:
It is the Fund's policy to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Fund has a tax year end of July 31.
Management of the Fund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax years, which includes the current fiscal tax year end). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
Allocations:
Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund, while expenses that are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust, or jointly with an affiliated trust, are allocated among the respective funds in the Trust and/or affiliated trust based upon net assets or another appropriate basis.
Income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses such as transfer agent fees, state registration fees, and printing fees), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets on the date income is earned or expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred.

| | Excluding U.S. Government Securities | |
| | Purchases | | Sales | |
| | | | $ | 240,066 | | | $ | 293,672 | | |
There were no purchases or sales of U.S. government securities during the six months ended January 31, 2021.
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 0.75% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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 VCM. The Transaction closed on July 1, 2019, and effective July 1, 2019, VCM replaced AMCO as the investment adviser to the Fund and no performance adjustments were made for the period beginning July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020. Only performance beginning as of July 1, 2019, and thereafter is utilized in calculating future performance adjustments.
The performance adjustment for each share class is accrued daily and calculated monthly by comparing each class' performance to that of the Lipper Global Funds Index. The Lipper Global Funds Index tracks the total return performance of each class within the Lipper Global Funds category.
The performance period for each share class consists of the current month plus the previous 35 months (or the number of months beginning July 1, 2019, if fewer). The following table is utilized to determine the extent of the performance adjustment:
Over/Under Performance Relative to Index (in basis points)(a) | | Annual Adjustment Rate (in basis points)(a) | |
+/- 100 to 400 | | +/- 4 | |
+/- 401 to 700 | | +/- 5 | |
+/- 701 and greater | | +/- 6 | |
(a) Based on the difference between average annual performance of the relevant share class of the Fund and its relevant Lipper index, rounded to the nearest basis point. Average daily net assets of the share class are calculated over a rolling 36 month period.
34
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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 Global Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
For the period August 1, 2020 to January 31, 2021, performance fees were $(195) and $(12) for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, respectively, in thousands. Performance adjustments were (0.05)% and (0.29)% for Fund Shares and Institutional 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 six months ended January 31, 2021, the Fund had no subadvisors.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM serves as the Fund's administrator and fund accountant. Under the Fund Administration, Servicing, and Accounting Agreement, VCM is paid for its services an annual fee at a rate of 0.15% and 0.10% of average daily net assets of the Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, respectively. Amounts incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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 six months ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Compliance fees.
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. ("Citi"), an affiliate of Citibank, acts as sub-administrator and sub-fund accountant to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Administration and Sub-Fund Accounting Services Agreement between VCM and Citi. VCM pays Citi a fee for providing these services. The Trust reimburses VCM and Citi for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing these services and certain other expenses specifically allocated to the Fund. Amounts incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Sub-Administration fees.
Transfer Agency Fees:
Victory Capital Transfer Agency, Inc. ("VCTA"), an affiliate of the Adviser provides transfer agency services to the Fund. VCTA provides transfer agent services to the Fund Shares based on an annual charge of $23 per shareholder account plus out-of-pocket expenses. VCTA pays a portion of these fees to certain intermediaries for the administration and servicing of accounts that are held with such intermediaries. Transfer agent's fees are accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.10% of average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the six months ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Transfer Agent fees.
FIS Investor Services LLC serves as sub-transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agent Agreement between VCTA and FIS Investor Services LLC. VCTA provides FIS Investor Services LLC a fee for providing these services.

Distributor/Underwriting Services:
Victory Capital Services, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as distributor for the continuous offering of the shares of the Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement between the Distributor and the Trust and receives no fee or other compensation for these services.
Other Fees:
Citibank serves as the Fund's custodian. The Fund pays Citibank a fee for providing these services. Amounts incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Custodian 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 November 30, 2021. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of the Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. Interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures, which are capitalized in accordance with GAAP, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund's business are excluded from the expense limits. As of January 31, 2021, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 1.12% and 1.10% for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, respectively.
Under this expense limitation agreement, the Fund has agreed to repay fees and expenses that were waived or reimbursed by the Adviser for a period up to three years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement took place, subject to the lesser of any operating expense limits in effect at the time of: (a) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (b) the recoupment, after giving effect to the recoupment amount. As of January 31, 2021, 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 January 31, 2021.
Expires July 31, 2023 | | Expires July 31, 2024 | | Total | |
$ | 133 | | | $ | 16 | | | $ | 149 | | |
The Adviser may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Fund in maintaining competitive expense ratios. Voluntary waivers and reimbursements applicable to the Fund are not available to be recouped at a future time. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the six months ended January 31, 2021.
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
36
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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 Fund's 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.
Market Risk — Overall 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 six months ended January 31, 2021, 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 six months ended January 31, 2021, 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
37
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
agreement, Citibank will also receive an annual upfront fee of 0.10% on the $300 million committed line of credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex will pay a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Interest charged to each Fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Line of credit fees.
The Fund had no borrowings under the Line of Credit agreement during the six months ended January 31, 2021.
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 presented on the Statement of Operations under Interfund lending.
The Fund did not utilize or participate in the Facility during the six months ended January 31, 2021.
7. Federal Income Tax Information:
The Fund intends to distribute any net investment income annually. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (deficit) will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending July 31, 2021.
As of the tax year ended July 31, 2020, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.
8. Subsequent Events:
Effective February 12, 2021, Wasif Latif is no longer a portfolio manager of the Fund.

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information
Proxy Voting:
Information regarding the policies and procedures the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling (800) 539-3863. The information is also included in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Information relating to how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent 12 months ended June 30 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments:
The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. 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 August 1, 2020 through January 31, 2021.
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 8/1/20 | | Actual Ending Account Value 1/31/21 | | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 1/31/21 | | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 8/1/20- 1/31/21* | | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 8/1/20- 1/31/21* | | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 8/1/20- 1/31/21 | |
Fund Shares | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,137.10 | | | $ | 1,019.81 | | | $ | 5.76 | | | $ | 5.45 | | | | 1.07 | % | |
Institutional Shares | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,139.30 | | | | 1,021.12 | | | | 4.37 | | | | 4.13 | | | | 0.81 | % | |
* Expenses are equal to the average account value multiplied by the Fund's annualized expense ratio multiplied by 184/365 (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 (the "Agreement")
USAA Capital Growth 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 programs, each of which had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market, and other developments.
40
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Supplemental Information — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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 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 above the median of its expense group and equal to the median of 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-, 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
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.
41
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Supplemental Information — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(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 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.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
1. Organization:
USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 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 Growth & Income Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers three classes of shares: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares and Class A. 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 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 risks 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.

(Unaudited)
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.
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 January 31, 2021, 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 | | $ | 1,916,083 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 1,916,083 | | |
Collateral for Securities Loaned | | | 10,291 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | 10,291 | | |
Total | | $ | 1,926,374 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 1,926,374 | | |
For the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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.
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 January 31, 2021.
Value of Securities on Loan | | Non-Cash Collateral | | Cash Collateral | |
$ | 9,860 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 10,291 | | |
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 July 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.

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 0.60% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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 VCM. The Transaction closed on July 1, 2019, and effective July 1, 2019, VCM replaced AMCO as the investment adviser to the Fund and no performance adjustments were made for the period beginning July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020. Only performance beginning as of July 1, 2019, and thereafter is utilized in calculating future performance adjustments.
The performance adjustment for each share class is accrued daily and calculated monthly by comparing each class' performance to that of the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index. The Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index tracks the total return performance of each class within the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds category.
The performance period for each share class consists of the current month plus the previous 35 months (or the number of months beginning July 1, 2019, if fewer). The following table is utilized to determine the extent of the performance adjustment:
Over/Under Performance Relative to Index (in basis points)(a) | | Annual Adjustment Rate (in basis points)(a) | |
+/- 100 to 400 | | +/- 4 | |
+/- 401 to 700 | | +/- 5 | |
+/- 701 and greater | | +/- 6 | |
(a) Based on the difference between average annual performance of the relevant share class of the Fund and its relevant Lipper index, rounded to the nearest basis point. Average daily net assets of the share class are calculated over a rolling 36 month period.
Each class' annual performance adjustment rate is multiplied by the average daily net assets of each respective class over the entire performance period, which is then multiplied by a fraction, the
21
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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 Multi-Cap Core Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
For the period August 1, 2020 to January 31, 2021, performance fees were $(364), $(38) and $(2) for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares and Class A, respectively, in thousands. Performance adjustments were (0.04)%, (0.04)% and (0.05)% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares and Class A, respectively.
The Trust relies on an exemptive order granted to VCM and its affiliated funds by the SEC in March 2019 permitting the use of a "manager-of-managers" structure for certain funds. Under a manager-of-managers structure, the investment adviser may select (with approval of the Board and without shareholder approval) one or more subadvisers to manage the day-to-day investment of a fund's assets. For the six months ended January 31, 2021, the Fund had no subadvisors.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM serves as the Fund's administrator and fund accountant. Under the Fund Administration, Servicing, and Accounting Agreement, VCM is paid for its services an annual fee at a rate of 0.15%, 0.10% and 0.15% of average daily net assets of the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares and Class A, respectively. Amounts incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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 six months ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Compliance fees.
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. ("Citi"), an affiliate of Citibank, acts as sub-administrator and sub-fund accountant to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Administration and Sub-Fund Accounting Services Agreement between VCM and Citi. VCM pays Citi a fee for providing these services. The Trust reimburses VCM and Citi for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing these services and certain other expenses specifically allocated to the Fund. Amounts incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Sub-Administration fees.
Transfer Agency Fees:
Victory Capital Transfer Agency, Inc. ("VCTA"), an affiliate of the Adviser provides transfer agency services to the Fund. VCTA provides transfer agent services to the Fund Shares based on an annual charge of $23 per shareholder account plus out-of-pocket expenses. VCTA pays a portion of these fees to certain intermediaries for the administration and servicing of accounts that are held with such intermediaries. Transfer agent's fees are accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.10% and 0.10% of average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares and Class A, respectively, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the six months ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Transfer Agent fees.
FIS Investor Services LLC serves as sub-transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agent Agreement between VCTA and FIS Investor Services LLC. VCTA provides FIS Investor Services LLC a fee for providing these services.

Distributor/Underwriting Services:
Victory Capital Services, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as distributor for the continuous offering of the shares of the Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement between the Distributor and the Trust.
Pursuant to the Distribution and Service Plans adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Distributor may receive a monthly distribution and service fee, at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A. The distribution and service fees paid to the Distributor may be used by the Distributor to pay for activity primarily intended to result in the sale of Class A. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the period ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as 12b-1 fees.
In addition, the Distributor is entitled to receive commissions on sales of Class A. For the six months ended January 31, 2021, the Distributor received less than $1 thousand from commissions earned on sales of Class A.
Other Fees:
Citibank serves as the Fund's custodian. The Fund pays Citibank a fee for providing these services. Amounts incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Custodian 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 November 30, 2021. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of the Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. Interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures, which are capitalized in accordance with GAAP, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund's business are excluded from the expense limits. As of January 31, 2021, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 0.88%, 0.84%, and 1.15% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares and Class A, 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 January 31, 2021, 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 January 31, 2021.
Expires July 31, 2022 | | Expires July 31, 2023 | | Total | |
$ | 4 | | | $ | 12 | | | $ | 16 | | |
The Adviser may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Fund in maintaining competitive expense ratios. Voluntary waivers and reimbursements applicable to the Fund are not available to be recouped at a future time. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the six months ended January 31, 2021.
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
23
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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 Fund's 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.
Market Risk — Overall 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 six months ended January 31, 2021, 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
24
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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 six months ended January 31, 2021, Citibank received an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $300 million for providing the Line of Credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex pays a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest (one month LIBOR plus one percent) on amounts borrowed. Effective June 29, 2020, under an amended Line of Credit agreement, Citibank will also receive an annual upfront fee of 0.10% on the $300 million committed line of credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex will pay a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Interest charged to each Fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Line of credit fees.
The Fund had no borrowings under the Line of Credit agreement during the six months ended January 31, 2021.
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 presented on the Statement of Operations under Interfund lending.
The Fund did not utilize or participate in the Facility during the six months ended January 31, 2021.
7. Federal Income Tax Information:
The Fund intends to distribute any net investment income quarterly. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (deficit) will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending July 31, 2021.
At July 31, 2020, the Fund had net capital loss carryforwards as shown in the table below (amounts in thousands). It is unlikely that the Board will authorize a distribution of capital gains realized in the future until the capital loss carryforwards have been used.
Short-Term Amount | | Long-Term Amount | | Total | |
$ | 39,007 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 39,007 | | |
8. Subsequent Events:
Effective February 12, 2021, Wasif Latif is no longer a portfolio manager of the Fund.

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information
Proxy Voting:
Information regarding the policies and procedures the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling (800) 539-3863. The information is also included in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Information relating to how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent 12 months ended June 30 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments:
The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. 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 August 1, 2020 through January 31, 2021.
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 8/1/20 | | Actual Ending Account Value 1/31/21 | | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 1/31/21 | | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 8/1/20- 1/31/21* | | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 8/1/20- 1/31/21* | | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 8/1/20- 1/31/21 | |
Fund Shares | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,136.00 | | | $ | 1,021.07 | | | $ | 4.41 | | | $ | 4.18 | | | | 0.82 | % | |
Institutional Shares | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,136.90 | | | | 1,021.27 | | | | 4.20 | | | | 3.97 | | | | 0.78 | % | |
Class A | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,134.60 | | | | 1,019.61 | | | | 5.97 | | | | 5.65 | | | | 1.11 | % | |
* Expenses are equal to the average account value multiplied by the Fund's annualized expense ratio multiplied by 184/365 (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 (the "Agreement")
USAA Growth & Income 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

(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 below the median of 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 below the median of 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 below its Lipper index for the one-year period ended September 30, 2020, was below the average of its performance universe and its Lipper index for the 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 Board took into account management's discussion of the Fund's performance, including the reasons for the Fund's longer-term underperformance. The Board also considered management's discussion of recent changes made to the Fund and the Fund's more recent improved performance.
Compensation and Profitability — The Board took into consideration the level and method of computing the management fee. The information considered by the Board included operating profit margin information for the Adviser's business as a whole. The Board also received and considered profitability information related to
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.

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 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 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.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
1. Organization:
USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 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 Growth 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 risks 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.
12
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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.
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 January 31, 2021, 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 | | $ | 3,132,932 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 3,132,932 | | |
Collateral for Securities Loaned | | | 15,653 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | 15,653 | | |
Total | | $ | 3,148,585 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 3,148,585 | | |
For the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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.
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.
13
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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 January 31, 2021.
Value of Securities on Loan | | Non-Cash Collateral | | Cash Collateral | |
$ | 15,115 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 15,653 | | |
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 July 31.
Management of the Fund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax years, which includes the current fiscal tax year end). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
Allocations:
Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund, while expenses that are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust, or jointly with an affiliated trust, are allocated among the respective funds in the Trust and/or affiliated trust based upon net assets or another appropriate basis.
Income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses such as transfer agent fees, state registration fees, and printing fees), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to

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 0.65% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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 VCM. The Transaction closed on July 1, 2019, and effective July 1, 2019, VCM replaced AMCO as the investment adviser to the Fund and no performance adjustments were made for the period beginning July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020. Only performance beginning as of July 1, 2019, and thereafter is utilized in calculating future performance adjustments.
15

(Unaudited)
The performance adjustment for each share class is accrued daily and calculated monthly by comparing each class' performance to that of the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index. The Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index tracks the total return performance of each class within the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds category.
The performance period for each share class consists of the current month plus the previous 35 months (or the number of months beginning July 1, 2019, if fewer). The following table is utilized to determine the extent of the performance adjustment:
Over/Under Performance Relative to Index (in basis points)(a) | | Annual Adjustment Rate (in basis points)(a) | |
+/- 100 to 400 | | +/- 4 | |
+/- 401 to 700 | | +/- 5 | |
+/- 701 and greater | | +/- 6 | |
(a) Based on the difference between average annual performance of the relevant share class of the Fund and its relevant Lipper index, rounded to the nearest basis point. Average daily net assets of the share class are calculated over a rolling 36 month period.
Each class' annual performance adjustment rate is multiplied by the average daily net assets of 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 Large-Cap Growth Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
For the period August 1, 2020 to January 31, 2021, performance fees were $(430) and $(274) for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, respectively, in thousands. Performance adjustments were (0.04)% and (0.05)% for Fund Shares and Institutional 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.
VCM has entered into a Subadvisory Agreement with Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. ("Loomis Sayles"), under which Loomis Sayles directs the investment and reinvestment of a portion of the Fund's assets (as allocated from time to time by VCM). These arrangements provide for monthly fees that are paid by VCM. VCM (not the Fund) pays the subadviser fees.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM serves as the Fund's administrator and fund accountant. Under the Fund Administration, Servicing, and Accounting Agreement, VCM is paid for its services an annual fee at a rate of 0.15% and 0.10% of average daily net assets of the Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, respectively. Amounts incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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

Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. ("Citi"), an affiliate of Citibank, acts as sub-administrator and sub-fund accountant to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Administration and Sub-Fund Accounting Services Agreement between VCM and Citi.

The Trust reimburses VCM and Citi for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing these services and certain other expenses specifically allocated to the Fund. Amounts incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Sub-Administration fees.
Transfer Agency Fees:
Victory Capital Transfer Agency, Inc. ("VCTA"), an affiliate of the Adviser provides transfer agency services to the Fund. VCTA provides transfer agent services to the Fund Shares based on an annual charge of $23 per shareholder account plus out-of-pocket expenses. VCTA pays a portion of these fees to certain intermediaries for the administration and servicing of accounts that are held with such intermediaries. Transfer agent's fees are accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.10% of average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the six months ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Transfer Agent 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 November 30, 2021. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of the Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. Interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures, which are capitalized in accordance with GAAP, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund's business are excluded from the expense limits. As of January 31, 2021, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 0.92% and 0.88% for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, respectively.
Under this expense limitation agreement, the Fund has agreed to repay fees and expenses that were waived or reimbursed by the Adviser for a period up to three years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement took place, subject to the lesser of any operating expense limits in effect at the time of: (a) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (b) the recoupment, after giving effect to the recoupment amount. As of January 31, 2021, there are no amounts available to be repaid to the Adviser.
17
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
The Adviser may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Fund in maintaining competitive expense ratios. Voluntary waivers and reimbursements applicable to the Fund are not available to be recouped at a future time. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the six months ended January 31, 2021.
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 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 Fund's 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.
Market Risk — Overall 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
18
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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 six months ended January 31, 2021, 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 six months ended January 31, 2021, Citibank received an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $300 million for providing the Line of Credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex pays a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest (one month LIBOR plus one percent) on amounts borrowed. Effective June 29, 2020, under an amended Line of Credit agreement, Citibank will also receive an annual upfront fee of 0.10% on the $300 million committed line of credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex will pay a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Interest charged to each Fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Line of credit fees.
The Fund had no borrowings under the Line of Credit agreement during the six months ended January 31, 2021.
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 presented on the Statement of Operations under Interfund lending.
The average borrowing or lending for the days outstanding and average interest rate for the Fund during the six months ended January 31, 2021 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | Borrower or Lender | | Amount Outstanding at January 31, 2021 | | Average Borrowing* | | Days Borrowing Outstanding | | Average Interest Rate* | | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | |
| | | | Borrower | | $ | — | | | $ | 5,023 | | | | 15 | | | | 0.68 | % | | $ | 10,650 | | |
* For the six months ended January 31, 2021, based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding.

(Unaudited)
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.
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (deficit) will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending July 31, 2021.
As of the tax year ended July 31, 2020, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.
9. Subsequent Events:
Effective February 12, 2021, Wasif Latif is no longer a portfolio manager of the Fund.

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information
Proxy Voting:
Information regarding the policies and procedures the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling (800) 539-3863. The information is also included in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Information relating to how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent 12 months ended June 30 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments:
The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. 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 August 1, 2020 through January 31, 2021.
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 8/1/20 | | Actual Ending Account Value 1/31/21 | | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 1/31/21 | | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 8/1/20- 1/31/21* | | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 8/1/20- 1/31/21* | | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 8/1/20- 1/31/21 | |
Fund Shares | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,131.80 | | | $ | 1,020.97 | | | $ | 4.51 | | | $ | 4.28 | | | | 0.84 | % | |
Institutional Shares | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,132.10 | | | | 1,021.07 | | | | 4.41 | | | | 4.18 | | | | 0.82 | % | |
* Expenses are equal to the average account value multiplied by the Fund's annualized expense ratio multiplied by 184/365 (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 (the "Agreement")
USAA Growth 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") and the Subadvisory Agreement between the Adviser and Loomis, Sayles & Company, LP (the "Subadviser") 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 and Subadvisory 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 Subadvisory Agreement and the Adviser and the Subadviser, and were given the opportunity to ask questions and request additional information from management. The information provided to the Board included, among other things: (i) a separate report prepared by an independent third party 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 and the Subadviser's operations and personnel. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees reviewed the proposed continuance of the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory 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 and the Subadvisory Agreement with respect to the Fund. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement with respect to the Fund in private sessions with Independent Counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
The Board considered the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement separately in the course of its review. In doing so, the Board noted the respective roles of the Adviser and the Subadviser in providing services to the Fund.
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 and the Subadviser. At the meeting at which the renewal of the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory 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 and the Subadviser is an ongoing one. In this regard, the Board's and its committees' consideration of the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory 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
22
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Supplemental Information — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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 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 Board considered the Adviser's process for monitoring the performance of the Subadviser and the Adviser's timeliness in responding to performance issues. 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. The Board also took into account that the subadvisory fees under the Subadvisory Agreement are paid by the Adviser. The Board also considered and discussed information about the Subadviser's fees, including the amount of management fees retained by the Adviser after payment of the subadvisory fees.
In considering the Fund's performance, the Board noted that it reviews at its regularly scheduled meetings information about the Fund's performance results. The Trustees also reviewed various comparative data provided to them in connection with their consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Fund's average annual total 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
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.

(Unaudited)
channel of distribution. This comparison indicated that, among other data, the Fund's performance was above the average of its performance universe and below its Lipper index for the one-year period ended September 30, 2020, was below the average of its performance universe and its Lipper index for the three- and five-year periods ended September 30, 2020, and was above the average of its performance universe and its Lipper index for the ten-year period ended September 30, 2020. The Board took into account management's discussion of the Fund's performance, including the reasons for the Fund's longer-term underperformance. The Board also considered management's discussion of recent changes made to the Fund and the Fund's more recent improved performance.
Compensation and Profitability — The Board took into consideration the level and method of computing the management fee. The information considered by the Board included operating profit margin information for the 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 pays the Fund's subadvisory fees and also 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 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 took into account management's discussion of the current advisory fee structure. The Board also considered the fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements by the Adviser. The Board considered the fact that the Adviser also pays the Fund's subadvisory fees. 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.
Subadvisory Agreement
In approving the Subadvisory Agreement with respect to the Fund, the Board considered various factors, among them: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Subadviser, including the personnel providing services; (ii) the Subadviser's compensation and any other benefits derived from the subadvisory relationship; (iii) comparisons, to the extent applicable, of subadvisory fees and performance to comparable investment companies; and (iv) the terms of the Subadvisory Agreement. A summary of the Board's analysis of these factors is set forth below. After full consideration of a variety of factors, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Subadvisory Agreement. In approving the Subadvisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors. Throughout their deliberations, the Independent Trustees were represented and assisted by Independent Counsel.

(Unaudited)
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided; Investment Personnel — The Trustees considered information provided to them regarding the services provided by the Subadviser, including information presented periodically throughout the previous year. The Board considered the Subadviser's level of knowledge and investment style. The Board reviewed the experience and credentials of the investment personnel who are responsible for managing the investment of portfolio securities with respect to the Fund and the Subadviser's level of staffing. The Trustees considered, based on the materials provided to them by the Subadviser, whether the method of compensating portfolio managers is reasonable and includes mechanisms to prevent a manager with underperformance from taking undue risks. The Trustees also noted the Subadviser's brokerage practices. The Board also considered the Subadviser's regulatory and compliance history. The Board also took into account the Subadviser's risk management processes. The Board noted that the Adviser's monitoring processes of the Subadviser include: (i) regular telephonic meetings to discuss, among other matters, investment strategies, and to review portfolio performance; (ii) quarterly portfolio compliance questionnaire and quarterly compliance certifications to the Board; and (iii) due diligence visits with the Subadviser.
Subadviser Compensation — The Board also took into consideration the financial condition of the Subadviser. In considering the cost of services to be provided by the Subadviser and the profitability to the Subadviser of its relationship with the Fund, the Trustees noted that the fees under the Subadvisory Agreement were paid by the Adviser. The Trustees also relied on the ability of the Adviser to negotiate the Subadvisory Agreement and the fees thereunder at arm's length. For the above reasons, the Board determined that the profitability of the Subadviser from its relationship with the Fund was not a material factor in its deliberations with respect to the consideration of the approval of the Subadvisory Agreement. For similar reasons, the Board concluded that the potential for economies of scale in the Subadviser's management of the Fund was not a material factor in considering the Subadvisory Agreement.
Subadvisory Fees and Fund Performance — The Board compared the subadvisory fees for the Fund with the fees that the Subadviser charges to comparable clients, as applicable. The Board considered that the Fund pays a management fee to the Adviser and that, in turn, the Adviser pays a subadvisory fee to the Subadviser. As noted above, the Board considered the Fund's performance during the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the Fund's peer group and noted that the Board reviews at its regularly scheduled meetings information about the Fund's performance results. The Board also considered the performance of the Subadviser. The Board noted the Adviser's experience and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style, and risk-adjusted performance of the Subadviser. The Board was mindful of the Adviser's focus on the Subadviser's performance. The Board also noted the Subadviser's performance record for similar accounts, as applicable.
Conclusions — The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Subadvisory Agreement: (i) the Subadviser is qualified to manage the Fund's assets in accordance with its investment objectives and policies; (ii) the Subadviser 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 relevant indices; and (iv) the Fund's advisory expenses are reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Adviser and the Subadviser. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that approval of the Subadvisory Agreement with respect to the Fund would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

IRA DISTRIBUTION WITHHOLDING DISCLOSURE
We generally must withhold federal income tax at a rate of 10% of the taxable portion of your distribution and, if you live in a state that requires state income tax withholding, at your state's tax rate. However, you may elect not to have withholding apply or to have income tax withheld at a higher rate. Any withholding election that you make will apply to any subsequent distribution unless and until you change or revoke the election. If you wish to make a withholding election, or change or revoke a prior withholding election, call (800) 235-8396, and form W-4P (OMB No. 1545-0074 withholding certificate for pension or annuity payments) will be electronically sent.
If you do not have a withholding election in place by the date of a distribution, federal income tax will be withheld from the taxable portion of your distribution at a rate of 10%. If you must pay estimated taxes, you may be subject to estimated tax penalties if your estimated tax payments are not sufficient and sufficient tax is not withheld from your distribution.
For more specific information, please consult your tax adviser.

This chart reflects long-term rating from a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization ("NRSRO"), with the four highest long-term credit ratings, in descending order of credit quality, AAA, AA, A, and BBB, included in the chart above as "Investment Grade". 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 a 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 January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
1. Organization:
USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 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 High Income Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers four classes of shares: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A 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 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 risks 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.
30
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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 January 31, 2021, 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:
Exchange-Traded Funds:
The Fund may invest in ETFs, the shares of which are bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and represents a fixed portfolio of securities designed to track the performance and dividend yield of a particular domestic or foreign market index. The Fund may purchase shares of an ETF to temporarily gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market while awaiting purchase of underlying securities. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track, although the lack of liquidity of an ETF could result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.
Open-End Funds:
The Fund may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the board of directors of the underlying funds.
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.,
32
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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.
Below Investment Grade Securities:
The Fund invests in below investment grade securities (i.e. lower-quality, "junk" debt), which are subject to various risks. Lower-quality debt is considered to be speculative because it is less certain that the issuer will be able to pay interest or repay the principal than in the case of investment grade debt. These securities can involve a substantially greater risk of default than higher-rated securities, and their values can decline significantly over short periods of time. Lower-quality debt securities tend to be more sensitive to adverse news about their issuers, the market and the economy in general, than higher-quality debt securities. The market for these securities can be less liquid, especially during periods of recession or general market decline.
Investment Transactions and Related Income:
Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discount. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.
Securities Lending:
The Fund, through a securities lending agreement with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), may lend its securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. Borrowers are required to secure their loans for collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non-U.S. securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls associated with increases in the valuation of the securities loaned are cured the next business day once the shortfall exceeds $100 thousand. Collateral may be cash, U.S. government securities, or other securities as permitted by SEC guidelines. Cash collateral may be invested in high-quality short-term investments, primarily open-end investment companies. Collateral requirements are determined daily based on the value of the Fund's securities on loan as of the end of the prior business day. During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the Fund any dividends or interest paid on such securities plus any fee negotiated between the parties to the lending agreement. The Fund also earns a return from the collateral. The Fund pays Citibank various fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral and fees based on the investment income received from securities lending activities. Securities lending income (net of these fees) is disclosed on the Statement of Operations. Loans are terminable upon demand and the borrower must return the loaned securities within the lesser of one standard settlement period or five business days. Risks relating to securities-lending transactions include that the borrower may not
33
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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 January 31, 2021.
Value of Securities on Loan | | Non-Cash Collateral | | Cash Collateral | |
$ | 55,204 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 57,124 | | |
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 July 31.
Management of the Fund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax years, which includes the current fiscal tax year end). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
Allocations:
Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund, while expenses that are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust, or jointly with an affiliated trust, are allocated among the respective funds in the Trust and/or affiliated trust based upon net assets or another appropriate basis.
Income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses such as transfer agent fees, state registration fees, and printing fees), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets on the date income is earned or expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred.

5. 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 Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Adviser is a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Victory Capital Holdings, Inc., a publicly traded Delaware corporation, and a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Victory Capital Operating, LLC. Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive a base fee and a performance adjustment. The Fund's base fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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 VCM. The Transaction closed on July 1, 2019, and effective July 1, 2019, VCM replaced AMCO as the investment adviser to the Fund and no performance adjustments were made for the period beginning July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020. Only performance beginning as of July 1, 2019, and thereafter, is utilized in calculating future performance adjustments.
The performance adjustment for each share class is accrued daily and calculated monthly by comparing each class' performance to that of the Lipper High Yield Bond Funds Index. The Lipper High Yield Bond Funds Index tracks the total return performance of each class within the Lipper High Yield Bond 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.
35
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
Under the performance fee arrangement, each class pays a positive performance fee adjustment for a performance period whenever the class outperforms the Lipper High Yield Bond Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
For the period August 1, 2020 to January 31, 2021, performance fees were $(333), $(234), $(3) and $(1) for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A and R6 shares, respectively, in thousands. Performance adjustments were (0.07)%, (0.06)%, (0.07)% and (0.06%) for 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 six months ended January 31, 2021, the Fund had no subadvisors.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM serves as the Fund's administrator and fund accountant. Under the Fund Administration, Servicing, and Accounting Agreement, VCM is paid for its services an annual fee at a rate of 0.15%, 0.10%, 0.15% and 0.05% of average daily net assets for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A and R6 Shares, respectively. Amounts incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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 six months ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Compliance fees.
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. ("Citi"), an affiliate of Citibank, acts as sub-administrator and sub-fund accountant to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Administration and Sub-Fund Accounting Services Agreement between VCM and Citi. VCM pays Citi a fee for providing these services. The Trust reimburses VCM and Citi for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing these services and certain other expenses specifically allocated to the Fund. Amounts incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Sub-Administration fees.
Transfer Agency Fees:
Victory Capital Transfer Agency, Inc. ("VCTA"), an affiliate of the Adviser provides transfer agency services to the Fund. VCTA provides transfer agent services to the Fund Shares based on an annual charge of $25.50 per shareholder account plus out-of-pocket expenses. VCTA pays a portion of these fees to certain intermediaries for the administration and servicing of accounts that are held with such intermediaries. Transfer agent's fees are accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.10%, 0.10% and 0.01% of average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares, Class A and R6 Shares, respectively, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the six months ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Transfer Agent fees.
FIS Investor Services LLC serves as sub-transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agent Agreement between VCTA and FIS Investor Services LLC. VCTA provides FIS Investor Services LLC a fee for providing these services.
Distributor/Underwriting Services:
Victory Capital Services, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as distributor for the continuous offering of the shares of the Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement between the Distributor and the Trust and receives no fee or other compensation for these services.
36
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
Pursuant to the Distribution and Service Plans adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Distributor may receive a monthly distribution and service fee, at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A. The distribution and service fees paid to the Distributor may be used by the Distributor to pay for activity primarily intended to result in the sale of Class A. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the period ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as 12b-1 fees.
In addition, the Distributor is entitled to receive commissions on sales of Class A. For the six months ended January 31, 2021, the Distributor received less than $1 thousand from commissions earned on sales of Class A.
Other Fees:
Citibank serves as the Fund's custodian. The Fund pays Citibank a fee for providing these services. Amounts incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Custodian 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 November 30, 2021. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of the Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. Interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures, which are capitalized in accordance with GAAP, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund's business are excluded from the expense limits. As of January 31, 2021, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 0.83%, 0.73%, 1.00%, and 0.65% 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 January 31, 2021, 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 January 31, 2021.
Expires July 31, 2022 | | Expires July 31, 2023 | | Expires July 31, 2024 | | Total | |
$ | 10 | | | $ | 69 | | | $ | 44 | | | $ | 123 | | |
The Adviser may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Fund in maintaining competitive expense ratios. Voluntary waivers and reimbursements applicable to the Fund are not available to be recouped at a future time. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the six months ended January 31, 2021.
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
37
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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 Fund's 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.
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.
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 recognized means to enhance an investor's return. All fixed-income securities, varying from the highest quality to the very speculative, have some degree of credit risk. Fixed-income securities rated below investment grade, also known as "junk" or high-yield bonds, generally entail greater economic, credit, and liquidity risk than investment-grade securities. Their prices may be more volatile, especially during economic downturns, financial setbacks, or liquidity events.
High-Yield/Junk Bond Risk — Fixed-income securities rated below investment grade, also known as "junk" or high-yield bonds, generally entail greater economic, credit, and liquidity risk than investment-grade securities. Their prices may be more volatile, especially during economic downturns, financial setbacks, or liquidity events. High-yield securities also can involve a substantially greater risk of default than higher quality debt securities, and their values can decline significantly over short and longer periods of time.
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. In June 2017, the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a group of large U.S. banks working with the Federal Reserve, announced
38
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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.
7. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:
Line of Credit:
For the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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 six months ended January 31, 2021, Citibank received an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $300 million for providing the Line of Credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex pays a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest (one month LIBOR plus one percent) on amounts borrowed. Effective June 29, 2020, under an amended Line of Credit agreement, Citibank will also receive an annual upfront fee of 0.10% on the $300 million committed line of credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex will pay a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Interest charged to each Fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Line of credit fees.
The Fund had no borrowings under the Line of Credit agreement during the six-months ended January 31, 2021.
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
39
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
emergency purposes. The interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. As a Borrower, interest charged to the Fund, if any, during the period is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Interfund lending fees. As a Lender, interest earned by the Fund, if any, during the period is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Interfund lending.
The average borrowing or lending for the days outstanding and average interest rate for the Fund during the six months ended January 31, 2021 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | Borrower or Lender | | Amount Outstanding at January 31, 2021 | | Average Borrowing* | | Days Borrowing Outstanding | | Average Interest Rate* | | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | |
| | | | Borrower | | $ | — | | | $ | 6,167 | | | | 1 | | | | 0.62 | % | | $ | 6,167 | | |
* For the six months ended January 31, 2021, based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding.
8. 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 the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (deficit) will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending July 31, 2021.
At July 31, 2020, the Fund had net capital loss carryforwards as shown in the table below (amounts in thousands). It is unlikely that the Board will authorize a distribution of capital gains realized in the future until the capital loss carryforwards have been used.
Short-Term Amount | | Long-Term Amount | | Total | |

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information
Proxy Voting:
Information regarding the policies and procedures the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling (800) 539-3863. The information is also included in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Information relating to how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent 12 months ended June 30 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments:
The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. 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 August 1, 2020 through January 31, 2021.
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 8/1/20 | | Actual Ending Account Value 1/31/21 | | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 1/31/21 | | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 8/1/20- 1/31/21* | | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 8/1/20- 1/31/21* | | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 8/1/20- 1/31/21 | |
Fund Shares | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,076.20 | | | $ | 1,021.42 | | | $ | 3.92 | | | $ | 3.82 | | | | 0.75 | % | |
Institutional Shares | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,076.70 | | | | 1,021.83 | | | | 3.51 | | | | 3.41 | | | | 0.67 | % | |

Considerations of the Board in Continuing the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement")
USAA High Income 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

(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 below the median of its expense group and above the median of 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 below the average of its performance universe and its Lipper index for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended September 30, 2020, and was above the average of its performance universe and below its Lipper index for the ten-year period ended September 30, 2020. The Board took into account management's discussion of the Fund's performance, including the reasons for the Fund's underperformance. The Board also took into account management's discussion of the Fund's stronger longer-term performance.
Compensation and Profitability — The Board took into consideration the level and method of computing the management fee. The information considered by the Board included operating profit margin information for the 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

(Unaudited)
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 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 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.

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 a 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 January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
1. Organization:
USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 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 Income 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 diversified under the 1940 Act.
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 risks 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.
48
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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 January 31, 2021, 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 | |

Total | | $ | 48,944 | | | $ | 8,120,940 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 8,169,884 | | |
For the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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
49
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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
50
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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.
Below Investment Grade Securities:
The Fund may invest in below investment grade securities (i.e. lower-quality, "junk" debt), which are subject to various risks. Lower-quality debt is considered to be speculative because it is less certain that the issuer will be able to pay interest or repay the principal than in the case of investment grade debt. These securities can involve a substantially greater risk of default than higher-rated securities, and their values can decline significantly over short periods of time. Lower-quality debt securities tend to be more sensitive to adverse news about their issuers, the market and the economy in general, than higher-quality debt securities. The market for these securities can be less liquid, especially during periods of recession or general market decline.
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 January 31, 2021.
Value of Securities on Loan | | Non-Cash Collateral | | Cash Collateral | |
$ | 18,743 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 19,426 | | |
Foreign Currency Translations:
The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities of the Fund denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts, and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the date of the transactions. The Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are disclosed as net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments and foreign currency translations on the Statement of Operations. Any realized gains or losses from these fluctuations, including foreign currency arising from in-kind redemptions, are disclosed as net realized gains or losses from investment transactions and foreign currency translations on the Statement of Operations.
Foreign Taxes:
The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes related to foreign income received (a portion of which may be reclaimable), capital gains on the sale of securities, and certain foreign currency transactions. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Fund invests.
Federal Income Taxes:
It is the Fund's policy to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Fund has a tax year end of July 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

5. 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 six months ended January 31, 2021, 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 VCM. The Transaction closed on July 1, 2019, and effective July 1, 2019, VCM replaced AMCO as the investment adviser to the Fund and
53
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
no performance adjustments were made for the period beginning July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020. Only performance beginning as of July 1, 2019, and thereafter, is utilized in calculating future performance adjustments.
The performance adjustment for each share class is accrued daily and calculated monthly by comparing each class' performance to that of the Lipper A Rated Bond Funds Index. The Lipper A Rated Bond Funds Index tracks the total return performance of each class within the Lipper A Rated Bond 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 A Rated Bond Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
For the period August 1, 2020 to January 31, 2021, performance fees were $(992), $(1,523), $(27), less than $(1) and $(6) for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, Class C and R6 Shares, respectively, in thousands. Performance adjustments were (0.06)%, (0.06)%, (0.06)%, less than (0.01)% and (0.09)% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, Class C 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 six months ended January 31, 2021, the Fund had no subadvisors.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM serves as the Fund's administrator and fund accountant. Under the Fund Administration, Servicing, and Accounting Agreement, VCM is paid for its services an annual fee at a rate of 0.15%, 0.10%, 0.15%, 0.15% and 0.05% of average daily net assets for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, Class C and R6 Shares, respectively. Amounts incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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

(Unaudited)
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 six months ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Compliance fees.
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. ("Citi"), an affiliate of Citibank, acts as sub-administrator and sub-fund accountant to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Administration and Sub-Fund Accounting Services Agreement between VCM and Citi. VCM pays Citi a fee for providing these services. The Trust reimburses VCM and Citi for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing these services and certain other expenses specifically allocated to the Fund. Amounts incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Sub-Administration fees.
Transfer Agency Fees:
Victory Capital Transfer Agency, Inc. ("VCTA"), an affiliate of the Adviser provides transfer agency services to the Fund. VCTA provides transfer agent services to the Fund Shares based on an annual charge of $25.50 per shareholder account plus out-of-pocket expenses. VCTA pays a portion of these fees to certain intermediaries for the administration and servicing of accounts that are held with such intermediaries. Transfer agent's fees are accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.10%, 0.10%, 0.10% and 0.01% of average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares, Class A, Class C and R6 Shares, respectively, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the six months ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Transfer Agent fees.
FIS Investor Services LLC serves as sub-transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agent Agreement between VCTA and FIS Investor Services LLC. VCTA provides FIS Investor Services LLC a fee for providing these services.
Distributor/Underwriting Services:
Victory Capital Services, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as distributor for the continuous offering of the shares of the Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement between the Distributor and the Trust.
Pursuant to the Distribution and Service Plans adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Distributor may receive a monthly distribution and service fee, at an annual rate of up to 0.25% and 1.00% of average daily net assets of Class A and Class C, respectively. The distribution and service fees paid to the Distributor may be used by the Distributor to pay for activity primarily intended to result in the sale of Class A and Class C. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the period ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as 12b-1 fees.
In addition, the Distributor is entitled to receive commissions on sales of the Class A. For the six months ended January 31, 2021, the Distributor received less than $1 thousand from commissions earned on sales of Class A.
Other 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 November 30, 2021. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of the Fund in any
55
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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 January 31, 2021, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 0.52%, 0.46%, 0.77%, 1.43% and 0.39% 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 January 31, 2021, 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 January 31, 2021.
Expires July 31, 2022 | | Expires July 31, 2023 | | Expires July 31, 2024 | | Total | |
$ | 2 | | | $ | 3 | | | $ | 13 | | | $ | 18 | | |
The Adviser may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Fund in maintaining competitive expense ratios. Voluntary waivers and reimbursements applicable to the Fund are not available to be recouped at a future time. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the six months ended January 31, 2021.
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 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
56
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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 Fund's 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.
Market Risk — Overall 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.
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.
Interest Rate Risk — The Fund is subject to the risk that the market value of the bonds in its portfolio will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates, changes in the supply of and demand for tax-exempt securities, and other market factors. Bond prices generally are linked to the prevailing market interest rates. In general, when interest rates rise, bond prices fall; conversely, when interest rates fall, bond prices rise. The price volatility of a bond also depends on its duration. Generally, the longer the duration of a bond, the greater is its sensitivity to interest rates. To compensate investors for this higher interest rate risk, bonds with longer durations generally offer higher yields than bonds with shorter durations. The ability of an issuer of a debt security to repay principal prior to a security's maturity can increase the security's sensitivity to interest rate changes.
Decisions by the U.S. Federal Reserve (also known as the "Fed") regarding interest rate and monetary policy, which can be difficult to predict and sometimes change direction suddenly in response to economic and market events, can have a significant effect on the value of fixed-income securities as well as the overall strength of the U.S. economy. Precise interest rate predictions are difficult to make, and interest rates may change unexpectedly and dramatically in response to extreme changes in market or economic conditions. As a result, the value of fixed income securities may vary widely under certain market conditions.
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. 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
57
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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.
7. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:
Line of Credit:
For the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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 six months ended January 31, 2021, Citibank received an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $300 million for providing the Line of Credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex pays a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest (one month LIBOR plus one percent) on amounts borrowed. Effective June 29, 2020, under an amended Line of Credit agreement, Citibank will also receive an annual upfront fee of 0.10% on the $300 million committed line of credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex will pay a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Interest charged to each Fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Line of credit fees.
The Fund had no borrowings under the Line of Credit agreement during the six months ended January 31, 2021.
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 presented on the Statement of Operations under Interfund lending.

The average borrowing or lending for the days outstanding and average interest rate for the Fund during the six months ended January 31, 2021 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | Borrower or Lender | | Amount Outstanding at January 31, 2021 | | Average Borrowing* | | Days Borrowing Outstanding | | Average Interest Rate* | | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | |

* For the six months ended January 31, 2021, based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding.
8. 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 the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (deficit) will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending July 31, 2021.
As of the tax year ended July 31, 2020, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards, for federal income tax purposes.
9. Subsequent Events:
The Board of Trustees of USAA Mutual Funds Trust has approved the addition of Class Z shares for the Fund. This new share class is expected to be effective February 5, 2021. Class Z shares are only available to participants in certain eligible separately managed accounts (also referred to as wrap fee programs) and other advisory clients of the Fund's Adviser or its affiliates that are subject to a separate contractual fee for investment management services. The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and/or reimburse expenses so that the total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses, and other extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 0.00% of the Fund's Class Z shares for an indefinite term.

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 August 1, 2020 through January 31, 2021.
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 (the "Agreement")
USAA Income 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
61
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Supplemental Information — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(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 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.
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- and five-year periods ended September 30, 2020, and was above the average of its performance universe and below its Lipper index for the ten-year period ended September 30, 2020. The Board took into account management's discussion of the Fund's performance.
Compensation and Profitability — The Board took into consideration the level and method of computing the management fee. The information considered by the Board included operating profit margin information for the 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
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.
62
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Supplemental Information — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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 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 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.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
1. Organization:
USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 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 Income Stock Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers three classes of shares: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares and R6 Shares. The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.
Each class of shares of the Fund has substantially identical rights and privileges, except with respect to fees paid under distribution plans, expenses allocable exclusively to each class of shares, voting rights on matters solely affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange privilege of each class of shares.
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 risks 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.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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.
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 January 31, 2021, 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 | | $ | 2,572,044 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 2,572,044 | | |
Collateral for Securities Loaned | | | 19,549 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | 19,549 | | |
Total | | $ | 2,591,593 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 2,591,593 | | |
For the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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.
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 January 31, 2021.
Value of Securities on Loan | | Non-Cash Collateral | | Cash Collateral | |
$ | 17,933 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 19,549 | | |
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 July 31.
Management of the Fund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax years, which includes the current fiscal tax year end). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
Allocations:
Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund, while expenses that are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust, or jointly with an affiliated trust, are allocated among the respective funds in the Trust and/or affiliated trust based upon net assets or another appropriate basis.
Income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses such as transfer agent fees, state registration fees, and printing fees), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets on the date income is earned or expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred.

USAA Target Retirement 2050 Fund | | | 1.0 | | |
USAA Target Retirement 2060 Fund | | | 0.1 | | |
5. 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 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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 VCM. The Transaction closed on July 1, 2019, and effective July 1, 2019, VCM replaced AMCO as the investment adviser to the Fund and no performance adjustments were made for the period beginning July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020. Only performance beginning as of July 1, 2019, and thereafter is utilized in calculating future performance adjustments.
The performance adjustment for each share class is accrued daily and calculated monthly by comparing each class' performance to that of the Lipper Equity Income Funds Index. The Lipper Equity Income Funds Index tracks the total return performance of each class within the Lipper Equity Income Funds category.
17
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
The performance period for each share class consists of the current month plus the previous 35 months (or the number of months beginning July 1, 2019, if fewer). The following table is utilized to determine the extent of the performance adjustment:
Over/Under Performance Relative to Index (in basis points)(a) | | Annual Adjustment Rate (in basis points)(a) | |
+/- 100 to 400 | | | +/- 4 | | |
+/- 401 to 700 | | | +/- 5 | | |
+/- 701 and greater | | | +/- 6 | | |
(a) Based on the difference between average annual performance of the relevant share class of the Fund and its relevant Lipper index, rounded to the nearest basis point. Average daily net assets of the share class are calculated over a rolling 36 month period.
Each class' annual performance adjustment rate is multiplied by the average daily net assets of 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 Equity Income Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
For the period August 1, 2020 to January 31, 2021, performance fees were $(333), $(205) and $(2) for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares and R6 Shares, respectively, in thousands. Performance adjustments were (0.04)%, (0.04)% and (0.07)% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares 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.
VCM has entered into a Subadvisory Agreement with Epoch Investment Partners, Inc. ("Epoch"), under which Epoch directs the investment and reinvestment of a portion of the Fund's assets (as allocated from time to time by VCM). This arrangement provides for monthly fees that are paid by VCM. VCM (not the Fund) pays the subadviser fees.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM serves as the Fund's administrator and fund accountant. Under the Fund Administration, Servicing, and Accounting Agreement, VCM is paid for its services an annual fee at a rate of 0.15%, 0.10% and 0.05%, of average daily net assets of the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares and R6 Shares, respectively. Amounts incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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 six months ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Compliance fees.

("Citi"), an affiliate of Citibank, acts as sub-administrator and sub-fund accountant to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Administration and Sub-Fund Accounting Services Agreement between VCM and Citi.

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 January 31, 2021, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 0.76%, 0.72% and 0.65% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares and R6 Shares, respectively.
Under this expense limitation agreement, the Fund has agreed to repay fees and expenses that were waived or reimbursed by the Adviser for a period up to three years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement took place, subject to the lesser of any operating expense limits in effect at the time of: (a) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (b) the recoupment, after giving effect to the recoupment amount. As of January 31, 2021, 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 January 31, 2021.

The Adviser may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Fund in maintaining competitive expense ratios. Voluntary waivers and reimbursements applicable to the Fund are not available to be recouped at a future time. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the six months ended January 31, 2021.
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 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 Fund's 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.
Market Risk — Overall 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

(Unaudited)
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 six months ended January 31, 2021, 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 six months ended January 31, 2021, Citibank received an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $300 million for providing the Line of Credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex pays a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest (one month LIBOR plus one percent) on amounts borrowed. Effective June 29, 2020, under an amended Line of Credit agreement, Citibank will also receive an annual upfront fee of 0.10% on the $300 million committed line of credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex will pay a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Interest charged to each Fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statements of Operations under Line of credit fees.
The Fund had no borrowings under the Line of Credit agreement during the six months ended January 31, 2021.
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 presented on the Statement of Operations under Interfund lending.
The average borrowing or lending for the days outstanding and average interest rate for the Fund during the six months ended January 31, 2021 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | Borrower or Lender | | Amount Outstanding at January 31, 2021 | | Average Borrowing* | | Days Borrowing Outstanding | | Average Interest Rate* | | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | |
| | | | Borrower | | $ | — | | | $ | 4,849 | | | | 1 | | | | 1.84 | % | | $ | 4,849 | | |
* For the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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.
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (deficit) will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending July 31, 2021.
At July 31, 2020, the Fund had net capital loss carryforwards as shown in the table below (amounts in thousands). It is unlikely that the Board will authorize a distribution of capital gains realized in the future until the capital loss carryforwards have been used.
Short-Term Amount | | Long-Term Amount | | Total | |
$ | 85,236 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 85,236 | | |
9. Subsequent Events:
Effective February 12, 2021, Wasif Latif is no longer a portfolio manager of the Fund. Lance Humphrey and Elie Masri are added as portfolio managers of the Fund.

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information
Proxy Voting:
Information regarding the policies and procedures the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling (800) 539-3863. The information is also included in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Information relating to how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent 12 months ended June 30 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments:
The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. 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 August 1, 2020 through January 31, 2021.
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 8/1/20 | | Actual Ending Account Value 1/31/21 | | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 1/31/21 | | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 8/1/20- 1/31/21* | | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 8/1/20- 1/31/21* | | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 8/1/20- 1/31/21 | |
Fund Shares | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,106.00 | | | $ | 1,021.68 | | | $ | 3.72 | | | $ | 3.57 | | | | 0.70 | % | |
Institutional Shares | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,105.60 | | | | 1,021.78 | | | | 3.61 | | | | 3.47 | | | | 0.68 | % | |

* Expenses are equal to the average account value multiplied by the Fund's annualized expense ratio multiplied by 184/365 (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 (the "Agreement")
USAA Income Stock 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
24
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Supplemental Information — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(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 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.
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, and was above the average of its performance universe and below its Lipper index for the 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 Fund's strong relative performance to peers over the longer-term.
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
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.
25
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Supplemental Information — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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 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 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.

IRA DISTRIBUTION WITHHOLDING DISCLOSURE
We generally must withhold federal income tax at a rate of 10% of the taxable portion of your distribution and, if you live in a state that requires state income tax withholding, at your state's tax rate. However, you may elect not to have withholding apply or to have income tax withheld at a higher rate. Any withholding election that you make will apply to any subsequent distribution unless and until you change or revoke the election. If you wish to make a withholding election, or change or revoke a prior withholding election, call (800) 235-8396, and form W-4P (OMB No. 1545-0074 withholding certificate for pension or annuity payments) will be electronically sent.
If you do not have a withholding election in place by the date of a distribution, federal income tax will be withheld from the taxable portion of your distribution at a rate of 10%. If you must pay estimated taxes, you may be subject to estimated tax penalties if your estimated tax payments are not sufficient and sufficient tax is not withheld from your distribution.

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 a 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 January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
1. Organization:
USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 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 Intermediate-Term Bond 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 diversified under the 1940 Act.
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 risks 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

(Unaudited)
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.
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 January 31, 2021, based upon the three levels defined above, is included in the table below while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments (amounts in thousands):

For the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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.
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.
Below Investment Grade Securities:
The Fund may invest in below investment grade securities (i.e. lower-quality, "junk" debt), which are subject to various risks. Lower-quality debt is considered to be speculative because it is less certain that the issuer will be able to pay interest or repay the principal than in the case of investment grade debt. These securities can involve a substantially greater risk of default than higher-rated securities, and their values can decline significantly over short periods of time. Lower-quality debt securities tend to be more sensitive to adverse news about their issuers, the market and the economy in general, than higher-quality debt securities. The market for these securities can be less liquid, especially during periods of recession or general market decline.
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 six months ended January 31, 2021, the Fund entered into futures contracts primarily for the strategy of hedging or other purposes, including but not limited to, providing liquidity and equitizing cash.

The underlying face value of open derivative positions relative to the Fund's net assets at period end is generally representative of the notional amount of open positions to net assets throughout the period.
Investment Transactions and Related Income:
Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discount. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.
Securities Lending:
The Fund, through a securities lending agreement with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), may lend its securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. Borrowers are required to secure their loans for collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non-U.S. securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls associated with increases in the valuation of the securities loaned are cured the next business day once the shortfall exceeds $100 thousand. Collateral may be cash, U.S. government securities, or other securities as permitted by 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
46
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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 January 31, 2021.
Value of Securities on Loan | | Non-Cash Collateral | | Cash Collateral | |
$ | 4,977 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 5,127 | | |
Foreign Currency Translations:
The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities of the Fund denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts, and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the date of the transactions. The Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are disclosed as net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments and foreign currency translations on the Statement of Operations. Any realized gains or losses from these fluctuations, including foreign currency arising from in-kind redemptions, are disclosed as net realized gains or losses from investment transactions and foreign currency translations on the Statement of Operations.
Foreign Taxes:
The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes related to foreign income received (a portion of which may be reclaimable), capital gains on the sale of securities, and certain foreign currency transactions. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Fund invests.
Federal Income Taxes:
It is the Fund's policy to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Fund has a tax year end of July 31.
Management of the Fund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax years, which includes the current fiscal tax year end). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
Allocations:
Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund, while expenses that are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust, or jointly with an affiliated trust, are allocated among the respective funds in the Trust and/or affiliated trust based upon net assets or another appropriate basis.
Income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses such as transfer agent fees, state registration fees, 12b-1 fees, and printing fees), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets on the date income is earned or expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred.

Cross-Trade Transactions:
Pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act, the Fund may engage in cross-trades, which are securities transactions with affiliated investment companies and advisory accounts managed by the Adviser and any applicable sub-adviser. Any such purchase or sale transaction must be effected without brokerage commission or other remuneration, except for customary transfer fees. The transaction must be effected at the current market price, which is either the security's last sale price on an exchange or, if there are no transactions in the security that day, at the average of the highest bid and lowest asked price. For the six months ended January 31, 2021, the Fund engaged in the following securities transactions with affiliated funds, which resulted in the following net realized gains (losses) (amounts in thousands):

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 0.50% of the first $50 million of the Fund's average daily net assets, 0.40% of that portion of the Fund's average daily net assets over $50 million but not over $100 million, and 0.30% of that portion of the Fund's average daily net assets over $100 million.

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 VCM. The Transaction closed on July 1, 2019, and effective July 1, 2019, VCM replaced AMCO as the investment adviser to the Fund and no performance adjustments were made for the period beginning July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020. Only performance beginning as of July 1, 2019, and thereafter, is utilized in calculating future performance adjustments.
The performance adjustment for each share class is accrued daily and calculated monthly by comparing each class' performance to that of the Lipper Core Plus Bond Funds Index. The Lipper Core Plus Bond Funds Index tracks the total return performance of each class within the Lipper Core Plus Bond 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 Core Plus Bond Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
For the period August 1, 2020 to January 31, 2021, performance fees were $462, $438, $7, less than $(1) and $5 for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, Class C and R6 Shares, respectively, in thousands. Performance adjustments were 0.05%, 0.05%, 0.03%, less than (0.01)% and 0.04% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, Class C 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 six months ended January 31, 2021, the Fund had no subadvisors.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM serves as the Fund's administrator and fund accountant. Under the Fund Administration, Servicing, and Accounting Agreement, VCM is paid for its services an annual fee at a rate of 0.15%, 0.10%, 0.15%, 0.15% and 0.05% of average daily net assets for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, Class C and R6 Shares, respectively. Amounts incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Administration fees.

The Adviser has entered into an expense limitation agreement with the Fund until at least November 30, 2021. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of the Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. Interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures, which are capitalized in accordance with GAAP, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund's business are excluded from the expense limits. As of January 31, 2021, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 0.59%, 0.52%, 0.87%, 1.53% and 0.39% 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 January 31, 2021, 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 January 31, 2021.

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

(Unaudited)
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 Fund's 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.
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.
Interest Rate Risk — The Fund is subject to the risk that the market value of the bonds in its portfolio will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates, changes in the supply of and demand for tax-exempt securities, and other market factors. Bond prices generally are linked to the prevailing market interest rates. In general, when interest rates rise, bond prices fall; conversely, when interest rates fall, bond prices rise. The price volatility of a bond also depends on its duration. Generally, the longer the duration of a bond, the greater is its sensitivity to interest rates. To compensate investors for this higher interest rate risk, bonds with longer durations generally offer higher yields than bonds with shorter durations. The ability of an issuer of a debt security to repay principal prior to a security's maturity can increase the security's sensitivity to interest rate changes.
Decisions by the U.S. Federal Reserve (also known as the "Fed") regarding interest rate and monetary policy, which can be difficult to predict and sometimes change direction suddenly in response to economic and market events, can have a significant effect on the value of fixed-income securities as well as the overall strength of the U.S. economy. Precise interest rate predictions are difficult to make, and interest rates may change unexpectedly and dramatically in response to extreme changes in market or economic conditions. As a result, the value of fixed income securities may vary widely under certain market conditions.
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 recognized means to enhance an investor's return. All fixed-income securities, varying from the highest quality to the very speculative, have some degree of credit risk. Fixed-income securities rated below investment grade, also known as "junk" or high-yield bonds, generally entail greater economic, credit, and liquidity risk than investment-grade securities. Their prices may be more volatile, especially during economic downturns, financial setbacks, or liquidity events.
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. 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
52
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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.
7. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:
Line of Credit:
For the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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 six months ended January 31, 2021, Citibank received an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $300 million for providing the Line of Credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex pays a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest (one month LIBOR plus one percent) on amounts borrowed. Effective June 29, 2020, under an amended Line of Credit agreement, Citibank will also receive an annual upfront fee of 0.10% on the $300 million committed line of credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex will pay a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Interest charged to each Fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Line of credit fees.
The Fund had no borrowings under the Line of Credit agreement during the six months ended January 31, 2021.
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
53
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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 presented on the Statement of Operations under Interfund lending.
The average borrowing or lending for the days outstanding and average interest rate for the Fund during the six months ended January 31, 2021 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| |
Borrower or Lender | | Amount Outstanding at January 31, 2021 | | Average Borrowing* | | Days Borrowing Outstanding | | Average Interest Rate* | | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | |
| | | | Borrower | | $ | — | | | $ | 9,494 | | | | 9 | | | | 0.63 | % | | $ | 21,920 | | |
* For the six months ended January 31, 2021, based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding.
8. 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 the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (deficit) will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending July 31, 2021.
As of the tax year ended July 31, 2020, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards, for federal income tax purposes.

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information
Proxy Voting:
Information regarding the policies and procedures the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling (800) 539-3863. The information is also included in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Information relating to how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent 12 months ended June 30 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments:
The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. 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 August 1, 2020 through January 31, 2021.
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 (the "Agreement")
USAA Intermediate-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
57
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Supplemental Information — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(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 equal to the median of 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.
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
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.
58
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Supplemental Information — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(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 noted that the Fund has advisory fee breakpoints that allow the Fund to participate in economies of scale and that such economies of scale were currently reflected in the advisory fee. The Board also considered the fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements by the Adviser. 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.

IRA DISTRIBUTION WITHHOLDING DISCLOSURE
We generally must withhold federal income tax at a rate of 10% of the taxable portion of your distribution and, if you live in a state that requires state income tax withholding, at your state's tax rate. However, you may elect not to have withholding apply or to have income tax withheld at a higher rate. Any withholding election that you make will apply to any subsequent distribution unless and until you change or revoke the election. If you wish to make a withholding election, or change or revoke a prior withholding election, call (800) 235-8396, and form W-4P (OMB No. 1545-0074 withholding certificate for pension or annuity payments) will be electronically sent.
If you do not have a withholding election in place by the date of a distribution, federal income tax will be withheld from the taxable portion of your distribution at a rate of 10%. If you must pay estimated taxes, you may be subject to estimated tax penalties if your estimated tax payments are not sufficient and sufficient tax is not withheld from your distribution.
For more specific information, please consult your tax adviser.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
1. Organization:
USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 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 Money Market Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.
The Fund operates as a retail money market fund in compliance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act; and as a retail money market fund, shares of the Fund are available for sale only to accounts that are beneficially owned by natural persons.
The Fund has adopted policies and procedures permitting the Board of Trustees of the Fund to impose a liquidity fee or to temporarily suspend redemptions from the Fund (a "redemption gate") if the Fund's weekly liquid assets fall below specific thresholds, such as during times of market stress. The imposition of a liquidity fee would reduce the amount you would receive upon redemption of your shares of the Fund. The imposition of a redemption gate would temporarily delay your ability to redeem your investments in the Fund.
Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund follows the specialized accounting and reporting requirements under GAAP that are applicable to investment companies under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.
Investment Valuation:
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the 1940 Act. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.
The Fund records investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Fund's investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities or interest rates applicable to those securities, etc.)
• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
14
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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.
Repurchase agreements are valued at cost.
All securities held in the Fund are short-term debt securities, which are valued pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This method values a security at its purchase price, and thereafter, assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any premiums or discounts. Securities for which amortized cost valuations are considered unreliable or for whose values have been materially affected by a significant event are valued in good faith, at fair value, using methods determined by the Committee, under procedures to stabilize net assets and valuation procedures approved by the Board.
Repurchase Agreements:
The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with commercial banks or recognized security dealers pursuant to the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement. A repurchase agreement is an arrangement wherein the Fund purchases securities and the seller agrees to repurchase the securities at an agreed upon time and at an agreed upon price. The purchased securities are marked-to-market daily to ensure their value is equal to at least 102% of principal including accrued interest and are held by the Fund, either through its regular custodian or through a special "tri-party" custodian that maintains separate accounts for both the Fund and its counterparty, until maturity of the repurchase agreement. Master Repurchase Agreements typically contain netting provisions, which provide for the net settlement of all transactions and collateral with the Fund through a single payment in the event of default or termination. Repurchase agreements are subject to credit risk, and the Fund's Manager monitors the creditworthiness of sellers with which the Fund may enter into repurchase agreements.
Investments in repurchase agreements as presented on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments are not net settlement amounts but gross. At January 31, 2021, the value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements, reducing the net settlement amount to zero. Details on the collateral are included on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments.
Securities Purchased on a Delayed-Delivery or When-Issued Basis:
The Fund may purchase securities on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis or for delayed draws on loans can take place a month or more after the trade date. At the time the Fund makes the commitment to purchase a security on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis, the Fund records the transaction and reflects the value of the security in determining net asset value ("NAV"). No interest accrues to the Fund until the transaction settles and payment takes place. A segregated account is established and the Fund maintains cash and/or marketable securities at least equal in value to commitments for delayed-delivery or when-issued securities. If the Fund owns delayed-delivery or when-issued securities, these values are included in Payable for investments purchased on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the segregated assets are identified on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments.
Municipal Obligations:
The values of municipal obligations can fluctuate and may be affected by adverse tax, legislative, or political changes, and by financial developments affecting municipal issuers. Payment of municipal obligations may depend on a relatively limited source of revenue, resulting in greater credit risk. Future changes in federal tax laws or the activity of an issuer may adversely affect the tax-exempt status of municipal obligations.
Investment Transactions and Related Income:
Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is determined on the basis
15
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discount. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.
Federal Income Taxes:
It is the Fund's policy to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Fund has a tax year end of July 31.
Management of the Fund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax years, which includes the current fiscal tax year end). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
Allocations:
Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund, while expenses that are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust, or jointly with an affiliated trust, are allocated among the respective funds in the Trust and/or affiliated trust based upon net assets or another appropriate basis.
Cross-Trade Transactions:
Pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act, the Fund may engage in cross-trades, which are securities transactions with affiliated investment companies and advisory accounts managed by the Adviser and any applicable sub-adviser. Any such purchase or sale transaction must be effected without brokerage commission or other remuneration, except for customary transfer fees. The transaction must be effected at the current market price, which is either the security's last sale price on an exchange or, if there are no transactions in the security that day, at the average of the highest bid and lowest asked price. For the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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 | | Net Realized Gains (Losses) | |
$ | — | | | $ | 44,030 | | | $ | — | | |
Fees Paid Indirectly:
Expense offsets to custody fees that arise from credits on cash balances maintained on deposit are reflected on the Statement of Operations, as applicable, as Fees paid indirectly.
3. 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 Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Adviser is a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Victory Capital Holdings, Inc., a publicly traded Delaware corporation, and a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Victory Capital Operating, LLC.
The Fund's Investment Adviser fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.24% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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. Prior to that date, the Trust relied on a similar exemptive order granted by the SEC to the Trust and its affiliated persons. Under a manager-of-managers structure, the investment adviser may select (with approval of the Board and
16
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
without shareholder approval) one or more subadvisers to manage the day-to-day investment of a fund's assets. For the six months ended January 31, 2021, the Fund had no subadvisors.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM serves as the Fund's administrator and fund accountant. Under the Fund Administration, Servicing, and Accounting Agreement, VCM is paid for its services an annual fee at a rate of 0.10% of average daily net assets of the Fund. Amounts incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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 six months ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Compliance fees.
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. ("Citi"), an affiliate of Citibank, acts as sub-administrator and sub-fund accountant to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Administration and Sub-Fund Accounting Services Agreement between VCM and Citi. VCM pays Citi a fee for providing these services. The Trust reimburses VCM and Citi for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing these services and certain other expenses specifically allocated to the Fund. Amounts incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Sub-Administration fees.
Transfer Agency Fees:
Victory Capital Transfer Agency, Inc. ("VCTA"), an affiliate of the Adviser provides transfer agency services to the Fund. Transfer agent's fees are accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the six months ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Transfer Agent fees.
FIS Investor Services LLC serves as sub-transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agent Agreement between VCTA and FIS Investor Services LLC. VCTA provides FIS Investor Services LLC a fee for providing these services.
Distributor/Underwriting Services:
Victory Capital Services, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as distributor for the continuous offering of the shares of the Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement between the Distributor and the Trust and receives no fee or other compensation for these services.
Other Fees:
Citibank serves as the Fund's custodian. The Fund pays Citibank a fee for providing these services. Amounts incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Custodian 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 November 30, 2021. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. Interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures, which are capitalized in accordance with GAAP, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund's business are excluded from the expense limits. As of January 31, 2021, the expense limit (excluding voluntary waivers) was 0.62%.
17
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
Under this expense limitation agreement, the Fund has agreed to repay fees and expenses that were waived or reimbursed by the Adviser for a period up to three years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement took place, subject to the lesser of any operating expense limits in effect at the time of: (a) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (b) the recoupment, after giving effect to the recoupment amount.
Amendment #1 to the expense limitation agreement was effective March 23, 2020. Under this amendment, the Adviser agreed to further reimburse fees in excess of the Fund's expense limit agreement of 0.62% dated July 1, 2019. These voluntary reductions, to the extent necessary, are to maintain a certain minimum net yield of the Fund. Under this agreement to reimburse additional fees, the Fund has agreed to repay fees and expenses that were waived or reimbursed by the Adviser for a period up to three years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement took place, to the extent any repayments would not cause the Fund's net yield to fall below the Fund's minimum yield at the time of: (a) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (b) the expense limit in effect at the time of the extra waiver. As of January 31, 2021, 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 January 31, 2021.
Expires July 31, 2023 | | Expires July 31, 2024 | | Total | |
$ | 1,305 | | | $ | 3,981 | | | $ | 5,286 | | |
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.
4. 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
18
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |

impact to the financial performance of the Fund's 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.
Stable Net Asset Value Risk — You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. The Fund may impose a fee upon the sale of your shares or may temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares if the Fund's liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") or any other government agency. The Fund's sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the Fund at any time.
Liquidity Fee and Redemption Gate Risk — The Fund may impose liquidity fees or temporarily suspend redemptions for a period of up to 10 business days in any 90-day period if the weekly liquidity of the Fund's assets falls below a certain threshold, subject to the determination by the Fund's Board that such liquidity fee or redemption gate is in the best interest of the Fund. If the weekly liquidity of the Fund's assets falls below 30% of its total assets, the Fund may either impose a liquidity fee of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed or temporarily suspend redemptions. If the weekly liquidity of the Fund's assets falls below 10% of its total assets, the Fund must impose a minimum 1% liquidity fee on redemptions, unless the Fund's Board determines that imposing such liquidity fee is not in the best interests of the Fund. The imposition of a liquidity fee would reduce the amount you would receive upon redemption of your shares of the Fund. The imposition of a redemption gate would delay your ability to redeem your investments in the Fund.
Credit Risk — Credit risk is expected to be low for the Fund because it invests primarily in securities that are considered to be of high quality. However, there is the possibility that an issuer will fail to make timely interest and principal payments on its securities or that negative perceptions of the issuer's ability to make such payments will cause the price of that security to decline.
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. 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
19
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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.
The actions by one shareholder or multiple shareholders may have an impact on the Fund and, therefore, indirectly on other shareholders. Shareholder purchase and redemption activity may affect the per share amount of the Fund's distributions of its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, thereby affecting the tax burden on the Fund's shareholders subject to federal income tax. To the extent a larger shareholder (including, for example, an Affiliated Fund that operates as a fund-of-funds or 529 college savings plan) is permitted to invest in the Fund, the Fund may experience large inflows or outflows of cash from time to time. This activity could magnify these adverse effects on the Fund.
5. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:
Line of Credit:
For the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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 six months ended January 31, 2021, Citibank received an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $300 million for providing the Line of Credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex pays a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest (one month LIBOR plus one percent) on amounts borrowed. Effective June 29, 2020, under an amended Line of Credit agreement, Citibank will also receive an annual upfront fee of 0.10% on the $300 million committed line of credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex will pay a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Interest charged to each Fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Line of credit fees.
The Fund had no borrowings under the Line of Credit agreement during the six months ended January 31, 2021.
6. Federal Income Tax Information:
Distributions from the Fund's net investment income are accrued daily and distributed on the last business day of each month. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (deficit) will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending July 31, 2021.
As of the tax year ended January 31, 2021, the fund had no capital loss carryforwards, for the federal income tax purposes.

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:
Form N-MFP is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
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 August 1, 2020 through January 31, 2021.
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 8/1/20 | | Actual Ending Account Value 1/31/21 | | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 1/31/21 | | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 8/1/20- 1/31/21* | | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 8/1/20- 1/31/21* | | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 8/1/20- 1/31/21 | |
Fund Shares | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,000.10 | | | $ | 1,023.84 | | | $ | 1.36 | | | $ | 1.38 | | | | 0.27 | % | |
* Expenses are equal to the average account value multiplied by the Fund's annualized expense ratio multiplied by 184/365 (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 (the "Agreement")
USAA Money Market 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
22
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Supplemental Information — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(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 above the medians of its expense group and expense universe. The data indicated that the Fund's total expenses, including after any reimbursements, were above the medians 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 retail 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 for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended September 30, 2020, and was below the average of its performance universe for the ten-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.
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
23
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Supplemental Information — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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 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.

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 Science & Technology Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers two classes of shares: Fund Shares and Class A. 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 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 risks 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.
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.
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 January 31, 2021, 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 | | $ | 1,948,294 | | | $ | 61,753 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 2,010,047 | | |
Warrants | | | — | | | | 2,680 | | | | — | | | | 2,680 | | |

Total | | $ | 2,010,168 | | | $ | 64,433 | | | $ | — | (a) | | $ | 2,074,601 | | |
(a) Zero market value security.
For the six months ended January 31, 2021, there were no transfers in or out of the Level 3 fair value hierarchy.
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.
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
19
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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 January 31, 2021, the Fund had no open forward foreign exchange currency contracts.
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 January 31, 2021.
Value of Securities on Loan | | Non-Cash Collateral | | Cash Collateral | |
$ | 60,040 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 61,874 | | |
Foreign Currency Translations:
The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities of the Fund denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts, and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the date of the transactions. The Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are disclosed as net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments and foreign currency translations on the Statement of Operations. Any realized gains or losses from these fluctuations, including foreign currency arising from in-kind redemptions, are disclosed as net realized gains or losses from investment transactions and foreign currency translations on the Statement of Operations.
Foreign Taxes:
The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes related to foreign income received (a portion of which may be reclaimable), capital gains on the sale of securities, and certain foreign currency transactions. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Fund invests.
Federal Income Taxes:
It is the Fund's policy to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Fund has a tax year end of July 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.

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 0.75% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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 VCM. The Transaction closed on July 1, 2019, and effective July 1, 2019, VCM replaced AMCO as the investment adviser to the Fund and no performance adjustments were made for the period beginning July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020. Only performance beginning as of July 1, 2019, and thereafter is utilized in calculating future performance adjustments.
The performance adjustment for each share class is accrued daily and calculated monthly by comparing each class' performance to that of the Lipper Science & Technology Funds Index. The Lipper Science &Technology Funds Index tracks the total return performance of each class within the Lipper Science & Technology Funds category.
The performance period for each share class consists of the current month plus the previous 35 months (or the number of months beginning July 1, 2019, if fewer). The following table is utilized to determine the extent of the performance adjustment:
Over/Under Performance Relative to Index (in basis points)(a) | | Annual Adjustment Rate (in basis points)(a) | |
+/- 100 to 400 | | +/- 4 | |
+/- 401 to 700 | | +/- 5 | |
+/- 701 and greater | | +/- 6 | |
(a) Based on the difference between average annual performance of the relevant share class of the Fund and its relevant Lipper index, rounded to the nearest basis point. Average daily net assets of the share class are calculated over a rolling 36 month period.
22
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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 Science & Technology Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
For the period August 1, 2020 to January 31, 2021, performance fees were $192 and $10 for Fund Shares and Class A, respectively, in thousands. Performance adjustments were 0.02% and 0.02% for Fund Shares and Class A, 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.
VCM has entered into a Subadvisory Agreement with Wellington Management Company LLP ("Wellington Management"). Under which Wellington directs the investment and reinvestment of a portion of the Fund's assets (as allocated from time to time by VCM). This arrangement provides for monthly fees that are paid by VCM. VCM (not the Fund) pays the subadviser fees.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM serves as the Fund's administrator and fund accountant. Under the Fund Administration, Servicing, and Accounting Agreement, VCM is paid for its services an annual fee at a rate of 0.15% and 0.15% of average daily net assets of the Fund Shares and Class A, respectively. Amounts incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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 six months ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Compliance fees.
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. ("Citi"), an affiliate of Citibank, acts as sub-administrator and sub-fund accountant to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Administration and Sub-Fund Accounting Services Agreement between VCM and Citi. VCM pays Citi a fee for providing these services. The Trust reimburses VCM and Citi for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing these services and certain other expenses specifically allocated to the Fund. Amounts incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Sub-Administration fees.
Transfer Agency Fees:
Victory Capital Transfer Agency, Inc. ("VCTA"), an affiliate of the Adviser provides transfer agency services to the Fund. VCTA provides transfer agent services to the Fund Shares based on an annual charge of $23 per shareholder account plus out-of-pocket expenses. VCTA pays a portion of these fees to certain intermediaries for the administration and servicing of accounts that are held with such intermediaries. Transfer agent's fees are accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.10% of average daily net assets of Class A, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the six months ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Transfer Agent fees.

Distributor/Underwriting Services:
Victory Capital Services, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as distributor for the continuous offering of the shares of the Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement between the Distributor and the Trust.
Pursuant to the Distribution and Service Plans adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Distributor may receive a monthly distribution and service fee, at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A. The distribution and service fees paid to the Distributor may be used by the Distributor to pay for activity primarily intended to result in the sale of Class A. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the period ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as 12b-1 fees.
In addition, the Distributor is entitled to receive commissions on sales of Class A. For the six months ended January 31, 2021, the Distributor received approximately $1 thousand from commissions earned on sales of Class A.
Other 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 November 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 January 31, 2021, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 1.06% and 1.34% for Fund Shares and Class A, 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 January 31, 2021, the Fund had no amounts available to be repaid to the Adviser.
The Adviser may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Fund in maintaining competitive expense ratios. Voluntary waivers and reimbursements applicable to the Fund are not available to be recouped at a future time. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the six months ended January 31, 2021.
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
24
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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 Fund's 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.
Sector Risk — A mutual fund portfolio consisting of investments related to the fields of science and technology is likely to be more volatile than a portfolio that is more widely diversified in other economic sectors. There is a possibility that the Fund's investments in companies whose values are highly dependent on scientific and technological developments may be more volatile because of the short life cycles and competitive pressures of many of the products or services of these companies. Because of the competitiveness and rapid changes in the fields of science and technology, many of the companies in the Fund's portfolio are subject to distinctive risks. The products and services of these companies may not be economically successful or may quickly become outdated. Additionally, many of these companies must comply with significant governmental regulations and may need governmental approval of their products and services.
Market Risk — Overall 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.

6. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:
Line of Credit:
For the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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 six months ended January 31, 2021, Citibank received an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $300 million for providing the Line of Credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex pays a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest (one month LIBOR plus one percent) on amounts borrowed. Effective June 29, 2020, under an amended Line of Credit agreement, Citibank will also receive an annual upfront fee of 0.10% on the $300 million committed line of credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex will pay a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Interest charged to each Fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Line of credit fees.
The Fund had no borrowings under the Line of Credit agreement during the six months ended January 31, 2021.
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 presented on the Statement of Operations under Interfund lending.
The average borrowing or lending for the days outstanding and average interest rate for the Fund during the six months ended January 31, 2021 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Borrower or Lender | | Amount Outstanding at January 31, 2021 | | Average Borrowing* | | Days Borrowing Outstanding | | Average Interest Rate* | | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | |
Borrower | | $ | — | | | $ | 2,091 | | | | 1 | | | | 0.62 | % | | $ | 2,091 | | |
* For the six months ended January 31, 2021, based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding.
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
26
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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.

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 August 1, 2020 through January 31, 2021.
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 8/1/20 | | Actual Ending Account Value 1/31/21 | | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 1/31/21 | | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 8/1/20- 1/31/21* | | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 8/1/20- 1/31/21* | | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 8/1/20- 1/31/21 | |
Fund Shares | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,295.90 | | | $ | 1,020.06 | | | $ | 5.90 | | | $ | 5.19 | | | | 1.02 | % | |
Class A | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,294.10 | | | | 1,018.60 | | | | 7.57 | | | | 6.67 | | | | 1.31 | % | |
* Expenses are equal to the average account value multiplied by the Fund's annualized expense ratio multiplied by 184/365 (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 (the "Agreement")
USAA Science & Technology 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") and the Subadvisory Agreement between the Adviser and Wellington Management Company LLP (the "Subadviser") 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 and Subadvisory 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 Subadvisory Agreement and the Adviser and the Subadviser, and were given the opportunity to ask questions and request additional information from management. The information provided to the Board included, among other things: (i) a separate report prepared by an independent third party 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 and the Subadviser's operations and personnel. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees reviewed the proposed continuance of the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory 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 and the Subadvisory Agreement with respect to the Fund. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement with respect to the Fund in private sessions with Independent Counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
The Board considered the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement separately in the course of its review. In doing so, the Board noted the respective roles of the Adviser and the Subadviser in providing services to the Fund.
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 and the Subadviser. At the meeting at which the renewal of the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory 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 and the Subadviser is an ongoing one. In this regard, the Board's and its committees' consideration of the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory 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
29
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Supplemental Information — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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 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 Board considered the Adviser's process for monitoring the performance of the Subadviser and the Adviser's timeliness in responding to performance issues. 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 equal to the median of its expense group and above the median of 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. The Board also took into account that the subadvisory fees under the Subadvisory Agreement are paid by the Adviser. The Board also considered and discussed information about the Subadviser's fees, including the amount of management fees retained by the Adviser after payment of the subadvisory fees.
In considering the Fund's performance, the Board noted that it reviews at its regularly scheduled meetings information about the Fund's performance results. The Trustees also reviewed various comparative data provided to them in connection with their consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Fund's average annual total 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
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.
30
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Supplemental Information — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2020, and was below the average of its performance universe and its Lipper index for the three- and five-year periods ended September 30, 2020. The Board took into account management's discussion of the Fund's performance, including the reasons for the Fund's longer-term underperformance. The Board also considered management's discussion of recent changes made to the Fund and the Fund's more recent improved performance.
Compensation and Profitability — The Board took into consideration the level and method of computing the management fee. The information considered by the Board included operating profit margin information for the 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 pays the Fund's subadvisory fees and also 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 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 took into account management's discussion of the current advisory fee structure. The Board also considered the fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements by the Adviser. The Board considered the fact that the Adviser also pays the Fund's subadvisory fees. 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.
Subadvisory Agreement
In approving the Subadvisory Agreement with respect to the Fund, the Board considered various factors, among them: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Subadviser, including the personnel providing services; (ii) the Subadviser's compensation and any other benefits derived from the subadvisory relationship; (iii) comparisons, to the extent applicable, of subadvisory fees and performance to comparable investment companies; and (iv) the terms of the Subadvisory Agreement. A summary of the Board's analysis of these factors is set forth below. After full consideration of a variety of factors, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Subadvisory Agreement. In approving the Subadvisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors. Throughout their deliberations, the Independent Trustees were represented and assisted by Independent Counsel.

(Unaudited)
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided; Investment Personnel — The Trustees considered information provided to them regarding the services provided by the Subadviser, including information presented periodically throughout the previous year. The Board considered the Subadviser's level of knowledge and investment style. The Board reviewed the experience and credentials of the investment personnel who are responsible for managing the investment of portfolio securities with respect to the Fund and the Subadviser's level of staffing. The Trustees considered, based on the materials provided to them by the Subadviser, whether the method of compensating portfolio managers is reasonable and includes mechanisms to prevent a manager with underperformance from taking undue risks. The Trustees also noted the Subadviser's brokerage practices. The Board also considered the Subadviser's regulatory and compliance history. The Board also took into account the Subadviser's risk management processes. The Board noted that the Adviser's monitoring processes of the Subadviser include: (i) regular telephonic meetings to discuss, among other matters, investment strategies, and to review portfolio performance; (ii) quarterly portfolio compliance questionnaire and quarterly compliance certifications to the Board; and (iii) due diligence visits with the Subadviser.
Subadviser Compensation — The Board also took into consideration the financial condition of the Subadviser. In considering the cost of services to be provided by the Subadviser and the profitability to the Subadviser of its relationship with the Fund, the Trustees noted that the fees under the Subadvisory Agreement were paid by the Adviser. The Trustees also relied on the ability of the Adviser to negotiate the Subadvisory Agreement and the fees thereunder at arm's length. For the above reasons, the Board determined that the profitability of the Subadviser from its relationship with the Fund was not a material factor in its deliberations with respect to the consideration of the approval of the Subadvisory Agreement. For similar reasons, the Board concluded that the potential for economies of scale in the Subadviser's management of the Fund was not a material factor in considering the Subadvisory Agreement.
Subadvisory Fees and Fund Performance — The Board compared the subadvisory fees for the Fund with the fees that the Subadviser charges to comparable clients, as applicable. The Board considered that the Fund pays a management fee to the Adviser and that, in turn, the Adviser pays a subadvisory fee to the Subadviser. As noted above, the Board considered the Fund's performance during the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the Fund's peer group and noted that the Board reviews at its regularly scheduled meetings information about the Fund's performance results. The Board also considered the performance of the Subadviser. The Board noted the Adviser's experience and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style, and risk-adjusted performance of the Subadviser. The Board was mindful of the Adviser's focus on the Subadviser's performance. The Board also noted the Subadviser's performance record for similar accounts, as applicable.
Conclusions — The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Subadvisory Agreement: (i) the Subadviser is qualified to manage the Fund's assets in accordance with its investment objectives and policies; (ii) the Subadviser 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 relevant indices; and (iv) the Fund's advisory expenses are reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Adviser and the Subadviser. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that approval of the Subadvisory Agreement with respect to the Fund would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

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 a 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 January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
1. Organization:
USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 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 Short-Term Bond Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers four classes of shares: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A 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 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.

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 risks 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.
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.
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 January 31, 2021, based upon the three levels defined above, is included in the table below while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments (amounts in thousands):

For the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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.
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.

(Unaudited)
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.
Below Investment Grade Securities:
The Fund may invest in below investment grade securities (i.e. lower-quality, "junk" debt), which are subject to various risks. Lower-quality debt is considered to be speculative because it is less certain that the issuer will be able to pay interest or repay the principal than in the case of investment grade debt. These securities can involve a substantially greater risk of default than higher-rated securities, and their values can decline significantly over short periods of time. Lower-quality debt securities tend to be more sensitive to adverse news about their issuers, the market and the economy in general, than higher-quality debt securities. The market for these securities can be less liquid, especially during periods of recession or general market decline.
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 period ended January 31, 2021, the Fund held futures contracts primarily for managing duration.

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.
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.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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 January 31, 2021.
Value of Securities on Loan | | Non-Cash Collateral | | Cash Collateral | |
$ | 27,732 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 28,523 | | |
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 July 31.
Management of the Fund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax years, which includes the current fiscal tax year end). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
Allocations:
Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund, while expenses that are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust, or jointly with an affiliated trust, are allocated among the respective funds in the Trust and/or affiliated trust based upon net assets or another appropriate basis.
Income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses such as transfer agent fees, state registration fees, 12b-1 fees, and printing fees), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets on the date income is earned or expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred.
Cross-Trade Transactions:
Pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act, the Fund may engage in cross-trades, which are securities transactions with affiliated investment companies and advisory accounts managed by the Adviser and any applicable sub-adviser. Any such purchase or sale transaction must be effected without brokerage commission or other remuneration, except for customary transfer fees. The transaction must be effected at the current market price, which is either the security's last sale price on an exchange or, if there are no transactions in the security that day, at the average of the highest bid and lowest asked price. For the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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 | | Net Realized Gains (Losses) | |

5. 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 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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 VCM. The Transaction closed on July 1, 2019, and effective July 1, 2019, VCM replaced AMCO as the investment adviser to the Fund and no performance adjustments were made for the period beginning July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020. Only performance beginning as of July 1, 2019, and thereafter, is utilized in calculating future performance adjustments.
The performance adjustment for each share class is accrued daily and calculated monthly by comparing each class' performance to that of the Lipper Short Investment Grade Debt Funds Index. The Lipper Short Investment Grade Debt Funds Index tracks the total return performance of each class within the Lipper Short Investment Grade Debt Funds category.
48
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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 Short Investment Grade Debt Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
For the period August 1, 2020 to January 31, 2021, performance fees were $74, $182, $(1) and $1 for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A and R6 Shares, respectively, in thousands. Performance adjustments were 0.01%, 0.02%, (0.02)% and 0.02% for 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 six months ended January 31, 2021, the Fund had no subadvisors.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM serves as the Fund's administrator and fund accountant. Under the Fund Administration, Servicing, and Accounting Agreement, VCM is paid for its services an annual fee at a rate of 0.15%, 0.10%, 0.15% and 0.05% of daily net assets for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A and R6 Shares, respectively. Amounts incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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 six months ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Compliance fees.
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. ("Citi"), an affiliate of Citibank, acts as sub-administrator and sub-fund accountant to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Administration and Sub-Fund Accounting Services Agreement between VCM and Citi. VCM pays Citi a fee for providing these services. The Trust reimburses VCM and Citi for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing these services and certain other expenses

Transfer agent's fees are accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.10%, 0.10% and 0.01% of average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares, Class A and R6 Shares, respectively, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the six months ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Transfer Agent fees.
FIS Investor Services LLC serves as sub-transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agent Agreement between VCTA and FIS Investor Services LLC. VCTA provides FIS Investor Services LLC a fee for providing these services.
Distributor/Underwriting Services:

Pursuant to the Distribution and Service Plans adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Distributor may receive a monthly distribution and service fee, at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A. The distribution and service fees paid to the Distributor may be used by the Distributor to pay for activity primarily intended to result in the sale of Class A. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the six months ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as 12b-1 fees.
In addition, the Distributor is entitled to receive commissions on sales of Class A. For the six months ended January 31, 2021, the Distributor did not receive any commissions on sales of Class A.
Other 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 November 30, 2021. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of the Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. Interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures, which are capitalized in accordance with GAAP, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund's business are excluded from the expense limits. As of January 31, 2021, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 0.53%, 0.43%, 0.73% 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 January 31, 2021, the following amounts are available to be repaid to

The Adviser may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Fund in maintaining competitive expense ratios. Voluntary waivers and reimbursements applicable to the Fund are not available to be recouped at a future time. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the six months ended January 31, 2021.
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 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 Fund's 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.
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.
51
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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.
Interest Rate Risk — The Fund is subject to the risk that the market value of the bonds in its portfolio will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates, changes in the supply of and demand for tax-exempt securities, and other market factors. Bond prices generally are linked to the prevailing market interest rates. In general, when interest rates rise, bond prices fall; conversely, when interest rates fall, bond prices rise. The price volatility of a bond also depends on its duration. Generally, the longer the duration of a bond, the greater is its sensitivity to interest rates. To compensate investors for this higher interest rate risk, bonds with longer durations generally offer higher yields than bonds with shorter durations. The ability of an issuer of a debt security to repay principal prior to a security's maturity can increase the security's sensitivity to interest rate changes.
Decisions by the U.S. Federal Reserve (also known as the "Fed") regarding interest rate and monetary policy, which can be difficult to predict and sometimes change direction suddenly in response to economic and market events, can have a significant effect on the value of fixed-income securities as well as the overall strength of the U.S. economy. Precise interest rate predictions are difficult to make, and interest rates may change unexpectedly and dramatically in response to extreme changes in market or economic conditions. As a result, the value of fixed income securities may vary widely under certain market conditions.
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 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.
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. 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
52

(Unaudited)
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.
7. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:
Line of Credit:
For the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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 six months ended January 31, 2021, Citibank received an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $300 million for providing the Line of Credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex pays a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest (one month LIBOR plus one percent) on amounts borrowed. Effective June 29, 2020, under an amended Line of Credit agreement, Citibank will also receive an annual upfront fee of 0.10% on the $300 million committed line of credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex will pay a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Interest charged to each Fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Line of credit fees.
The Fund had no borrowings under the Line of Credit agreement during the six months ended January 31, 2021.
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. 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 Interfund lending.
The average borrowing or lending for the days outstanding and average interest rate for the Fund during the six months ended January 31, 2021 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Borrower or Lender | | Amount Outstanding at January 31, 2021 | | Average Borrowing* | | Days Borrowing Outstanding | | Average Interest Rate* | | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | |
Borrower | | $ | — | | | $ | 4,766 | | | | 1 | | | | 0.62 | % | | $ | 4,766 | | |
* For the six months ended January 31, 2021, based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding.

8. Federal Income Tax Information:
Distributions from the Fund's net investment income are accrued daily and distributed on the last business day of each month. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (deficit) will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending July 31, 2021.
As of the tax year ended July 31, 2020, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards, for federal income tax purposes.

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information
Proxy Voting:
Information regarding the policies and procedures the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling (800) 539-3863. The information is also included in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Information relating to how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent 12 months ended June 30 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments:
The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. 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 August 1, 2020 through January 31, 2021.
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 (the "Agreement")
USAA 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
57
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Supplemental Information — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(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 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.
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
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.
58
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Supplemental Information — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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 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 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.

IRA DISTRIBUTION WITHHOLDING DISCLOSURE
We generally must withhold federal income tax at a rate of 10% of the taxable portion of your distribution and, if you live in a state that requires state income tax withholding, at your state's tax rate. However, you may elect not to have withholding apply or to have income tax withheld at a higher rate. Any withholding election that you make will apply to any subsequent distribution unless and until you change or revoke the election. If you wish to make a withholding election, or change or revoke a prior withholding election, call (800) 235-8396, and form W-4P (OMB No. 1545-0074 withholding certificate for pension or annuity payments) will be electronically sent.
If you do not have a withholding election in place by the date of a distribution, federal income tax will be withheld from the taxable portion of your distribution at a rate of 10%. If you must pay estimated taxes, you may be subject to estimated tax penalties if your estimated tax payments are not sufficient and sufficient tax is not withheld from your distribution.
For more specific information, please consult your tax adviser.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
1. Organization:
USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 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 Small Cap Stock 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 risks 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.
22
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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.
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 January 31, 2021, 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 | | $ | 1,383,716 | | | $ | 5,968 | | | $ | — | (a) | | $ | 1,389,684 | | |
Collateral for Securities Loaned | | | 56,105 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | 56,105 | | |
Total | | $ | 1,439,821 | | | $ | 5,968 | | | $ | — | (a) | | $ | 1,445,789 | | |
(a) Zero market value security.
For the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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 January 31, 2021, the Fund had no open forward foreign exchange currency contracts.
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
24
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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 January 31, 2021.
Value of Securities on Loan | | Non-Cash Collateral | | Cash Collateral | |
$ | 54,324 | * | | $ | — | | | $ | 56,105 | | |
* Includes $62 (thousand) of securities on loan that were sold prior to January 31, 2021.
Foreign Currency Translations:
The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities of the Fund denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts, and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the date of the transactions. The Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are disclosed as net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments and foreign currency translations on the Statement of Operations. Any realized gains or losses from these fluctuations, including foreign currency arising from in-kind redemptions, are disclosed as net realized gains or losses from investment transactions and foreign currency translations on the Statement of Operations.
Foreign Taxes:
The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes related to foreign income received (a portion of which may be reclaimable), capital gains on the sale of securities, and certain foreign currency transactions. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Fund invests.
Federal Income Taxes:
It is the Fund's policy to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Fund has a tax year end of July 31.
Management of the Fund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax years, which includes the current fiscal tax year end). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
Allocations:
Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund, while expenses that are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust, or jointly with an affiliated trust, are allocated among the respective funds in the Trust and/or affiliated trust based upon net assets or another appropriate basis.
Income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses such as transfer agent fees, state registration fees, and printing fees), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets on the date income is earned or expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred.

USAA Target Retirement 2050 Fund | | | 1.4 | | |
USAA Target Retirement 2060 Fund | | | 0.2 | | |
5. 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 0.75% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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 VCM. The Transaction closed on July 1, 2019, and effective July 1, 2019, VCM replaced AMCO as the investment adviser to the Fund and no performance adjustments were made for the period beginning July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020. Only performance beginning as of July 1, 2019, and thereafter is utilized in calculating future performance adjustments.
The performance adjustment for each share class is accrued daily and calculated monthly by comparing each class' performance to that of the Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Index. The Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Index tracks the total return performance of each class within the Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds category.
26
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
The performance period for each share class consists of the current month plus the previous 35 months (or the number of months beginning July 1, 2019, if fewer). The following table is utilized to determine the extent of the performance adjustment:
Over/Under Performance Relative to Index (in basis points)(a) | | Annual Adjustment Rate (in basis points)(a) | |
+/- 100 to 400 | | +/- 4 | |
+/- 401 to 700 | | +/- 5 | |
+/- 701 and greater | | +/- 6 | |
(a) Based on the difference between average annual performance of the relevant share class of the Fund and its relevant Lipper index, rounded to the nearest basis point. Average daily net assets of the share class are calculated over a rolling 36 month period.
Each class' annual performance adjustment rate is multiplied by the average daily net assets of 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 Small-Cap Core Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
For the period August 1, 2020 to January 31, 2021, performance fees were $176 and $209 for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, respectively, in thousands. Performance adjustments were 0.05% and 0.07% for Fund Shares and Institutional 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.
VCM has entered into a Subadvisory Agreement with Wellington Management Company LLP ("Wellington Management") and Granahan Investment Management, Inc. ("GIMI"), under which GIMI and Wellington Management each direct the investment and reinvestment of a portion of the Fund's assets (as allocated from time to time by VCM). These arrangements provide for monthly fees that are paid by VCM. VCM (not the Fund) pays the subadviser fees.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM serves as the Fund's administrator and fund accountant. Under the Fund Administration, Servicing, and Accounting Agreement, VCM is paid for its services an annual fee at a rate of 0.15% and 0.10% of average daily net assets of the Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, respectively. Amounts incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Administration fees.

The Adviser has entered into an expense limitation agreement with the Fund until at least November 30, 2021. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of the Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. Interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures, which are capitalized in accordance with GAAP, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund's business are excluded from the expense limits. As of January 31, 2021, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 1.10% and 0.98% for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, respectively.
Under this expense limitation agreement, the Fund has agreed to repay fees and expenses that were waived or reimbursed by the Adviser for a period up to three years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement took place, subject to the lesser of any operating expense limits in effect at the time of: (a) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (b) the recoupment, after giving effect to the recoupment amount. As of January 31, 2021, 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 January 31, 2021.

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 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.
Small-Capitalization Stock Risk — The Fund is subject to small-cap company risk, which is the greater risk of investing in smaller, less well-known companies, as opposed to investing in established companies with proven track records. Small-cap companies also may have limited product lines, markets, or financial resources. Securities of such 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 the securities of larger companies.
Market Risk — Overall 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.
29
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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.
7. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:
Line of Credit:
For the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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 six months ended January 31, 2021, Citibank received an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $300 million for providing the Line of Credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex pays a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest (one month LIBOR plus one percent) on amounts borrowed. Effective June 29, 2020, under an amended Line of Credit agreement, Citibank will also receive an annual upfront fee of 0.10% on the $300 million committed line of credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex will pay a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Interest charged to each Fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statements of Operations under Line of credit fees.
The Fund had no borrowings under the Line of Credit agreement during the six months ended January 31, 2021.
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 presented on the Statement of Operations under Interfund lending.
The average borrowing or lending for the days outstanding and average interest rate for the Fund during the six months ended January 31, 2021 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Borrower or Lender | | Amount Outstanding at January 31, 2021 | | Average Borrowing* | | Days Borrowing Outstanding | | Average Interest Rate* | | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | |
Borrower | | $ | — | | | $ | 2,136 | | | | 9 | | | | 0.63 | % | | $ | 4,196 | | |
* For the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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.
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (deficit) will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending July 31, 2021.
As of the tax year ended July 31, 2020, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.
9. Subsequent Events:
Effective February 12, 2021, Wasif Latif is no longer a portfolio manager of the Fund.

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 August 1, 2020 through January 31, 2021.
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 (the "Agreement")
USAA Small Cap Stock 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") and the Subadvisory Agreements between the Adviser and Granahan Investment Management, Inc. and Wellington Management Company LLP (the "Subadvisers") 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 and Subadvisory Agreements 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 Subadvisory Agreements and the Adviser and the Subadvisers, 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 and each Subadviser's operations and personnel. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees reviewed the proposed continuance of the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreements with management and with experienced independent counsel 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 and the Subadvisory Agreements with respect to the Fund. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements with respect to the Fund in private sessions with Independent Counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
The Board considered the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements separately in the course of its review. In doing so, the Board noted the respective roles of the Adviser and the Subadvisers in providing services to the Fund.
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 and the Subadvisers. At the meeting at which the renewal of the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreements 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 and the Subadvisers is an ongoing one. In this regard, the Board's and its committees' consideration of the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreements 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
34
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Supplemental Information — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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 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 Board considered the Adviser's process for monitoring the performance of the Subadvisers and the Adviser's timeliness in responding to performance issues. 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 equal to the median of its expense group and below the median of its expense universe. The data indicated that the Fund's total expenses, including after any reimbursements, were equal to the median of its expense group and below the median of 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 took into account that the subadvisory fees under the Subadvisory Agreements are paid by the Adviser. The Board also considered and discussed information about each Subadviser's fees, including the amount of management fees retained by the Adviser after payment of the subadvisory fees.
In considering the Fund's performance, the Board noted that it reviews at its regularly scheduled meetings information about the Fund's performance results. The Trustees also reviewed various comparative data provided to them in connection with their consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Fund's average annual total 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

(Unaudited)
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 pays the Fund's subadvisory fees and also 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 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 took into account management's discussion of the current advisory fee structure. The Board also considered the fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements by the Adviser. The Board considered the fact that the Adviser also pays the Fund's subadvisory fees. 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.
Subadvisory Agreements
In approving the Subadvisory Agreements with respect to the Fund, the Board considered various factors, among them: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Subadvisers, including the personnel providing services; (ii) each Subadviser's compensation and any other benefits derived from the subadvisory relationship; (iii) comparisons, to the extent applicable, of subadvisory fees and performance to comparable investment companies; and (iv) the terms of the Subadvisory Agreements. A summary of the Board's analysis of these factors is set forth below. After full consideration of a variety of factors, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Subadvisory Agreements. In approving the Subadvisory Agreements, 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.

(Unaudited)
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided; Investment Personnel — The Trustees considered information provided to them regarding the services provided by the Subadvisers, including information presented periodically throughout the previous year. The Board considered each Subadviser's level of knowledge and investment style. The Board reviewed the experience and credentials of the investment personnel who are responsible for managing the investment of portfolio securities with respect to the Fund and each Subadviser's level of staffing. The Trustees considered, based on the materials provided to them by the Subadvisers, whether the method of compensating portfolio managers is reasonable and includes mechanisms to prevent a manager with underperformance from taking undue risks. The Trustees also noted each Subadviser's brokerage practices. The Board also considered each Subadviser's regulatory and compliance history. The Board also took into account each Subadviser's risk management processes. The Board noted that the Adviser's monitoring processes of the Subadvisers include: (i) regular telephonic meetings to discuss, among other matters, investment strategies, and to review portfolio performance; (ii) quarterly portfolio compliance questionnaire and quarterly compliance certifications to the Board; and (iii) due diligence visits with the Subadvisers.
Subadviser Compensation — The Board also took into consideration the financial condition of the Subadvisers. In considering the cost of services to be provided by each Subadviser and the profitability to the Subadviser of its relationship with the Fund, the Trustees noted that the fees under the Subadvisory Agreements were paid by the Adviser. The Trustees also relied on the ability of the Adviser to negotiate the Subadvisory Agreements and the fees thereunder at arm's length. For the above reasons, the Board determined that the profitability of each Subadviser from its relationship with the Fund was not a material factor in its deliberations with respect to the consideration of the approval of the Subadvisory Agreements. For similar reasons, the Board concluded that the potential for economies of scale in each Subadviser's management of the Fund was not a material factor in considering the Subadvisory Agreements.
Subadvisory Fees and Fund Performance — The Board compared the subadvisory fees for the Fund with the fees that each Subadviser charges to comparable clients, as applicable. The Board considered that the Fund pays a management fee to the Adviser and that, in turn, the Adviser pays a subadvisory fee to each Subadviser. As noted above, the Board considered the Fund's performance during the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the Fund's peer group and noted that the Board reviews at its regularly scheduled meetings information about the Fund's performance results. The Board also considered the performance of each Subadviser. The Board noted the Adviser's experience and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style, and risk-adjusted performance of each Subadviser. The Board was mindful of the Adviser's focus on each Subadviser's performance. The Board also noted each Subadviser's performance record for similar accounts, as applicable.
Conclusions — The Board reached the following conclusions regarding each Subadvisory Agreement: (i) the Subadviser is qualified to manage the Fund's assets in accordance with its investment objectives and policies; (ii) the Subadviser 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 relevant indices; and (iv) the Fund's advisory expenses are reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Adviser and the Subadviser. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that approval of each Subadvisory Agreement with respect to the Fund would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

IRA DISTRIBUTION WITHHOLDING DISCLOSURE
We generally must withhold federal income tax at a rate of 10% of the taxable portion of your distribution and, if you live in a state that requires state income tax withholding, at your state's tax rate. However, you may elect not to have withholding apply or to have income tax withheld at a higher rate. Any withholding election that you make will apply to any subsequent distribution unless and until you change or revoke the election. If you wish to make a withholding election, or change or revoke a prior withholding election, call (800) 235-8396, and form W-4P (OMB No. 1545-0074 withholding certificate for pension or annuity payments) will be electronically sent.
If you do not have a withholding election in place by the date of a distribution, federal income tax will be withheld from the taxable portion of your distribution at a rate of 10%. If you must pay estimated taxes, you may be subject to estimated tax penalties if your estimated tax payments are not sufficient and sufficient tax is not withheld from your distribution.
For more specific information, please consult your tax adviser.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
1. Organization:
USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 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 Value Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers three classes of shares: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares and Class A. 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 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 risks 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.
16
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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.
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 January 31, 2021, 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 | | $ | 995,057 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | (a) | | $ | 995,057 | | |
Collateral for Securities Loaned | | | 3,058 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | 3,058 | | |
Total | | $ | 998,115 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | (a) | | $ | 998,115 | | |
(a) Zero market value security.
For the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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.
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. Noncash 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 January 31, 2021.
Value of Securities on Loan | | Non-Cash Collateral | | Cash Collateral | |
$ | 3,016 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 3,058 | | |
Foreign Currency Translations:
The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities of the Fund denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts, and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the date of the transactions. The Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are disclosed as net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments and foreign currency translations on the Statement of Operations. Any realized gains or losses from these fluctuations, including foreign currency arising from in-kind redemptions, are disclosed as net realized gains or losses from investment transactions and foreign currency translations on the Statement of Operations.
Foreign Taxes:
The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes related to foreign income received (a portion of which may be reclaimable), capital gains on the sale of securities, and certain foreign currency transactions. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Fund invests.
Federal Income Taxes:
It is the Fund's policy to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains sufficient to
18
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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 July 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 six months ended January 31, 2021, were as follows for the Fund (amounts in thousands):
| | Excluding U.S. Government Securities | |
| | Purchases | | Sales | |
| | | | $ | 321,805 | | | $ | 388,095 | | |
There were no purchases or sales of U.S. government securities during the six months ended January 31, 2021. | |
4. Affiliated Fund Ownership:
The Fund offers its shares for investment by other USAA Mutual Funds. The fund-of-funds do not invest in the underlying funds for the purpose of exercising management or control, and the affiliated fund-of-funds' annual and semi-annual reports may be viewed at vcm.com. As of January 31, 2021, certain fund-of-funds owned total outstanding shares of the Fund as follows:
Affiliated USAA Fund | | Ownership % | |
USAA Cornerstone Conservative Fund | | | 0.2 | | |
USAA Cornerstone Equity Fund | | | 1.0 | | |
5. 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 0.65% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the six months ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Investment Advisory fees.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
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 VCM. The Transaction closed on July 1, 2019, and effective July 1, 2019, VCM replaced AMCO as the investment adviser to the Fund and no performance adjustments were made for the period beginning July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020. Only performance beginning as of July 1, 2019, and thereafter, is utilized in calculating future performance adjustments.
The performance adjustment for each share class is accrued daily and calculated monthly by comparing each class' performance to that of the Lipper Multi-Cap Value Funds Index. The Lipper Multi-Cap Value Funds Index tracks the total return performance of each class within the Lipper Multi-Cap Value Funds category.
The performance period for each share class consists of the current month plus the previous 35 months (or the number of months beginning July 1, 2019, if fewer). The following table is utilized to determine the extent of the performance adjustment:
Over/Under Performance Relative to Index (in basis points)(a) | | Annual Adjustment Rate (in basis points)(a) | |
+/- 100 to 400 | | +/- 4 | |
+/- 401 to 700 | | +/- 5 | |
+/- 701 and greater | | +/- 6 | |
(a) Based on the difference between average annual performance of the relevant share class of the Fund and its relevant Lipper index, rounded to the nearest basis point. Average daily net assets of the share class are calculated over a rolling 36 month period.
Each class' annual performance adjustment rate is multiplied by the average daily net assets of 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 Multi-Cap Value Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
For the period August 1, 2020 to January 31, 2021, performance fees were $(165), $(46) and $(1) for Fund Shares Institutional Shares, and Class A, respectively, in thousands. Performance adjustments were (0.05)%, (0.04)% and (0.05)% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A, respectively.
The Trust relies on an exemptive order granted to VCM and its affiliated funds by the SEC in March 2019 permitting the use of a "manager-of-managers" structure for certain funds. Under a manager-of-managers structure, the investment adviser may select (with approval of the Board and without shareholder approval) one or more subadvisers to manage the day-to-day investment of a fund's assets. For the six months ended January 31, 2021, the Fund had no subadvisors.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM serves as the Fund's administrator and fund accountant. Under the Fund Administration, Servicing, and Accounting Agreement, VCM is paid for its services an annual fee at a rate of 0.15%, 0.10% and 0.15% of average daily net assets for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares and Class A, respectively. Amounts incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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

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 six months ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Compliance fees.
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. ("Citi"), an affiliate of Citibank, acts as sub-administrator and sub-fund accountant to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Administration and Sub-Fund Accounting Services Agreement between VCM and Citi. VCM pays Citi a fee for providing these services. The Trust reimburses VCM and Citi for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing these services and certain other expenses specifically allocated to the Fund. Amounts incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Sub-Administration fees.
Transfer Agency Fees:
Victory Capital Transfer Agency, Inc. ("VCTA"), an affiliate of the Adviser provides transfer agency services to the Fund. VCTA provides transfer agent services to the Fund Shares based on an annual charge of $23 per shareholder account plus out-of-pocket expenses. VCTA pays a portion of these fees to certain intermediaries for the administration and servicing of accounts that are held with such intermediaries. Transfer agent's fees are accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.10% and 0.10% of average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares and Class A, respectively, plus out-of-pocket expenses.

Pursuant to the Distribution and Service Plans adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Distributor may receive a monthly distribution and service fee, at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A. The distribution and service fees paid to the Distributor may be used by the Distributor to pay for activity primarily intended to result in the sale of Class A. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the six months ended January 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as 12b-1 fees.
In addition, the Distributor is entitled to receive commissions on sales of Class A. For the six months ended January 31, 2021, the Distributor received less than $1 thousand from commissions earned on sales of Class A.
Other Fees:

21
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
Fund's business are excluded from the expense limits. As of January 31, 2021, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) are 0.96%, 0.88% and 1.27% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares and Class A, 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 of 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 January 31, 2021, 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 January 31, 2021.
Expires July 31, 2022 | | Expires July 31, 2023 | | Expires July 31, 2024 | | Total | |
$ | 3 | | | $ | 117 | | | $ | 66 | | | $ | 186 | | |

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 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 Fund's investments will depend on future developments, including (i) the duration and spread of the outbreak, (ii) the restrictions and advisories, (iii) the effects
22
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued January 31, 2021 | |
(Unaudited)
on the financial markets, and (iv) the effects on the economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Investment Style Risk — The Fund uses a value-oriented investment strategy to select investments. The strategy may be out of favor or may not produce the intended results over short or longer time periods. The strategy may, at times, substantially underperform funds that utilize other investment strategies, such as growth.
Market Risk — Overall 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.
7. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:
Line of Credit:
For the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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 that Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the agreement is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the six months ended January 31, 2021, Citibank received an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $300 million for providing the Line of Credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex pays a pro- rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest (one month LIBOR plus one percent) on amounts borrowed. Effective June 29, 2020, under an amended Line of Credit agreement, Citibank will also receive an annual upfront fee of 0.10% on the $300 million committed line of credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex will pay a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Interest charged to each Fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Line of credit fees.
The Fund had no borrowings under the Line of Credit agreement during the six months ended January 31, 2021.
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. 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 Interfund lending.

The average borrowing or lending for the days outstanding and average interest rate for the Fund during the six months ended January 31, 2021 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Borrower or Lender | | Amount Outstanding at January 31, 2021 | | Average Borrowing* | | Days Borrowing Outstanding | | Average Interest Rate* | | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | |
Borrower | | $ | — | | | $ | 2,787 | | | | 1 | | | | 0.20 | % | | $ | 2,787 | | |
* For the six months ended January 31, 2021, 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.
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (deficit) will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending July 31, 2021.
At July 31, 2020, the Fund had net capital loss carryforwards as shown in the table below (amounts in thousands). It is unlikely that the Board will authorize a distribution of capital gains realized in the future until the capital loss carryforwards have been used.
Short-Term Amount | | Long-Term Amount | | Total | |
$ | 80,719 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 80,719 | | |
9. Subsequent Events:
Effective February 12, 2021, Wasif Latif is no longer a portfolio manager of the Fund.

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 August 1, 2020 through January 31, 2021.
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 8/1/20 | | Actual Ending Account Value 1/31/21 | | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 1/31/21 | | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 8/1/20- 1/31/21* | | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 8/1/20- 1/31/21* | | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 8/1/20- 1/31/21 | |
Fund Shares | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,162.20 | | | $ | 1,020.57 | | | $ | 5.01 | | | $ | 4.69 | | | | 0.92 | % | |

* Expenses are equal to the average account value multiplied by the Fund's annualized expense ratio multiplied by 184/365 (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 (the "Agreement")
USAA Value 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

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 below the median of 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-, 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 for the Fund's underperformance. The Board also considered management's discussion of recent changes made to the Fund.
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
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.

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 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 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.
