Dear Shareholder,
It's hard to believe that it was just last summer when we were still coming to grips with a global pandemic, hoping for an effective vaccine, and wondering whether the U.S. Federal Reserve's (the "Fed's") aggressive actions would continue to mollify financial markets. As it turns out, a vaccine was rolled out (domestically) faster than expectations, and a recovery that began during the second quarter of 2020 continued unabated.
Fast forward to today and investors are still a bit uneasy, but with a different set of worries. Financial assets have recovered, but the pandemic is still on the back of everyone's mind, and we are all wondering how a recent surge in COVID-19 cases will impact markets going forward. Today, CEOs are expressing concerns about labor shortages, disrupted supply chains, rising commodity prices, and the potential for lasting inflation. If anything, this merely exemplifies just how dynamic and unpredictable markets can be.
Nevertheless, we consider ourselves relatively fortunate despite the myriad challenges of the past year. For starters, we are thankful how quickly the various forms of monetary and fiscal stimulus contributed to a rebound in gross domestic product ("GDP"). It wasn't a straight line upward and there were bouts of elevated volatility in both bond and stock markets. Late in 2020, for example, financial markets were alternately fueled and roiled by a contentious election season, growing optimism for an effective vaccine, and a fluid debate regarding the need for even more stimulus. Ultimately, stocks were propelled higher in the fourth quarter of 2020 as it became clear Congress would provide another dose of stimulus in the form of direct payments, more unemployment insurance, and additional aid to businesses.
As we moved into 2021, stocks continued their upward trajectory. Meanwhile, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury rallied sharply as many investors began to shift their focus. Deflation was out; inflation was in. More recently, the calculus has shifted once again. This summer a new variant of the virus emerged, and investors began worrying about future economic growth. With those concerns volatility re-emerged and Treasury yields retreated. The ride continues.
So how did markets actually fare during our most recent annual reporting period? Through all the volatility and surprises, the S&P 500® Index registered impressive gains of nearly 35% for this 12-month period ended July 31, 2021. Not coincidentally, this broad market index has been hovering near its all-time high. Over this same annual period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 69 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of one percent), reflecting a very low starting rate, substantial fiscal stimulus, and the Fed's ongoing accommodative monetary policy. As the end of our reporting period approached, however, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury began trending lower, reflecting pandemic and growth concerns and finishing at 1.24% on July 31, 2021.
Where to from here? Our investment professionals continually monitor the environment and work hard to position portfolios opportunistically. There will no doubt be more challenges ahead, but we think it's important to reflect on the positives and remember our collective spirit and perseverance. Markets endured this past
2
year and even surprised to the upside, and investors who remained calm in the face of adversity and focused on their longer-term investment goals were likely rewarded. In our view, that always seems to be the best approach no matter what the markets throw at us.

Managers' Commentary
(Unaudited)
• What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
The global financial markets produced healthy returns during the second half of 2020, wrapping up a positive year for the major asset classes. Investors' appetite for risk improved considerably in early November, when the approval of vaccines for COVID-19 raised expectations that the world economy could gradually return to normal in 2021. The conclusion of the U.S. elections, which removed a source of uncertainty that had depressed performance in September and October, was an additional tailwind. The markets were also aided by continued indications that the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") and other central banks would maintain their highly accommodative policies indefinitely. Not least, an agreement on a new round of U.S. fiscal stimulus further cheered investors in late December. Together, these developments outweighed negative headlines surrounding renewed lockdowns and the persistence of the coronavirus.
The first quarter of 2021 proved to be a continuation of the strong equity markets investors experienced over the second half of 2020. Gains from global equity markets were fueled by optimism surrounding the successful rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines coupled with further monetary and fiscal stimulus proposals. Faster-than-expected economic growth produced a meaningful increase in real interest rates, which led to negative returns across most major fixed income asset classes. The 10-year U.S. Treasury bond yield finished at its highest level of the first quarter reporting period climbing from under 1% to 1.74%.
In the second quarter of 2021, equity markets have been consolidating and interest rates leveling off after large upswings. With strong first quarter GDP and corporate earnings growth in the rearview mirror, investors seem to be contemplating their next move. Equity markets rotated from value to growth leadership as Treasury bond yields retreated from the highs of March. Inflation has been increasing as the economy reopens more quickly than expected. The Fed maintains that inflationary pressure is transitory but could become more persistent. The inflationary environment will be a key metric moving into the second half of the year.
During the last month of the reporting period, markets appeared to focus on the latest COVID-19 variant (delta) as rising infection numbers gave way to concerns around the reopening with mask mandates and other restrictions being reintroduced once again. During this time, large-cap growth names outperformed value and small-cap oriented securities.
• How did the USAA Capital Growth Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?
The Fund has two share classes: Fund Shares and Institutional Shares. For the reporting period ended July 31, 2021, the Fund Shares and Institutional Shares had total returns of 32.74% and 33.45%, respectively. This compares to returns of 33.18% for the MSCI All-Country World Index (the "Index") and 35.23% for the Lipper Global Funds Index.

Managers' Commentary (continued)
• What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?
For the reporting period, stock selection was the principal contributor to the Fund's performance relative to the Index, while sector allocation had a slightly negative effect overall. Stock selection within the financials, health care and consumer discretionary sectors contributed to performance, while the Fund's selection within the information technology sector hurt performance. In terms of allocation, an overweight position to the health care sector and an underweight position in information technology hurt performance, which was slightly offset by positive allocation effect in the financials and industrials sectors.
Thank you for allowing us to assist you with your investment needs.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements July 31, 2021 |
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.
34
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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, investments are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of 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 July 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 | $ | 630,772 | $ | 264,056 | $ | — | $ | 894,828 | |||||||||||
Exchange-Traded Funds | 720 | — | — | 720 | |||||||||||||||
Collateral for Securities Loaned | 7,055 | — | — | 7,055 | |||||||||||||||
Total | $ | 638,547 | $ | 264,056 | $ | — | $ | 902,603 |
For the year ended July 31, 2021, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 in the 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 fixed 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.
35
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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 July 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 discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis.
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
36
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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 July 31, 2021.
Value of Securities on Loan | Non-Cash Collateral | Cash Collateral | |||||||||
$ | 6,729 | $ | — | $ | 7,055 |
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 investment securities 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 (losses) from investment securities 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.
The Fund filed for additional European Union reclaims related to prior years. These reclaims are recorded when the amount is known and there are no significant uncertainties on collectability. For the year ended July 31, 2021, the Fund recognized $183 thousand in reclaims and no amounts are related to interest on the filed reclaims. These reclaims are reflected on the Statement of Operations as dividend income.
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 an affiliated trust based upon net assets or another appropriate basis.
37
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
Income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses such as transfer agent fees, state registration fees, and printing fees), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets on the date income is earned or expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred.
3. Purchases and Sales:
Cost of purchases and proceeds from sales/maturities of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) for the year ended July 31, 2021, were as follows for the Fund (amounts in thousands):

Purchases | Sales | ||||||||||
$ | 544,932 | $ | 637,561 |
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 an indirect wholly owned 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 year ended July 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 the largest funds 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) | ||||||
+/- 100 to 400 | +/- 4 | ||||||
+/- 401 to 700 | +/- 5 | ||||||
+/- 701 and greater | +/- 6 |
(a) Based on the difference between the average annual performance of the relevant share class of the Fund and its relevant Lipper index, rounded to the nearest basis point.
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
38
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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 July 1, 2020, to July 31, 2021, performance adjustments were $(384) and $(21) for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, in thousands, respectively. Performance adjustments were (0.05)% and (0.33)% for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, respectively. The performance adjustment rate included in the investment advisory fee may differ from the maximum over/under Annual Adjustment Rate due to differences in average net assets for the reporting period and rolling 36 month performance periods.
The Trust relies on an exemptive order granted to VCM and its affiliated funds by the SEC in March 2019 permitting the use of a "manager-of-managers" structure for certain funds. Under a manager-of-managers structure, the investment adviser may select (with approval of the Board and without shareholder approval) one or more subadvisers to manage the day-to-day investment of a fund's assets. For the year ended July 31, 2021, the Fund had no subadvisers.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM serves as the Fund's administrator and fund accountant. Under the Fund Administration, Servicing and Accounting Agreement, VCM is paid an administration and servicing fee that is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.15% and 0.10%, which is based on the Fund's average daily net assets of the Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, respectively. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Administration fees.
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. ("Citi"), an affiliate of Citibank, acts as sub-administrator and sub-fund accountant to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Administration and Sub-Fund Accounting Services Agreement between VCM and Citi. VCM pays Citi a fee for providing these services. The Fund reimburses VCM and Citi for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing these services and certain other expenses specifically allocated to the Fund. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Sub-Administration fees.
The Fund (as part of the Trust) has entered into an agreement to provide compliance services with the Adviser, pursuant to which the Adviser furnishes its compliance personnel, including the services of the Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO"), and other resources reasonably necessary to provide the Trust with compliance oversight services related to the design, administration, and oversight of a compliance program for the Trust in accordance with Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The CCO is an employee of the Adviser, which pays the compensation of the CCO and support staff. Funds in the Trust, Victory Variable Insurance Funds, Victory Portfolios, and Victory Portfolios II (collectively, the "Victory Funds Complex") in the aggregate, compensate the Adviser for these services. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Compliance fees.

VCTA pays a portion of these fees to certain intermediaries for the administration and servicing of accounts that are held with such intermediaries. Transfer agent's fees for the Institutional Shares are paid monthly based on a fee accrued daily at an annualized rate of 0.10% of average daily net assets, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the year ended July 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 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 year ended July 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 June 30, 2023. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of the Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. Acquired fund fees and expenses, 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 July 31, 2021, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 1.12% and 1.10% for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, respectively.
Under the terms of the expense limitation agreement, amended May 1, 2021, 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 (thirty six (36) months) after 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. Prior to May 1, 2021, the Fund was permitted to recoup fees waived and expenses reimbursed for up to three years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement took place, subject to the limitations above. This change did not have any effect on the amounts previously reported for recoupment.
As of July 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 July 31, 2021.
Expires 2023 | Expires 2024 | Total | |||||||||
$ | 56 | $ | 10 | $ | 66 |
The Adviser may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Fund in maintaining competitive expense ratios. Voluntary waivers and reimbursements applicable to the Fund are not available to be recouped at a future time. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the year ended July 31, 2021.
Certain officers and/or interested trustees of the Fund are also officers and/or employees of the Adviser, administrator, fund accountant, sub-administrator, sub-fund accountant, custodian, and Distributor.
5. Risks:
The Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
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,
40
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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:
The Victory Funds Complex participates in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 29, 2021, with a termination date of June 27, 2022. 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 Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended July 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. Prior to June 29, 2021, the Victory Funds Complex paid an annual commitment fee of 0.15% and an upfront fee of 0.10%. 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 year ended July 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 in the Victory Funds Complex that is permitted to participate in the Facility, 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 year ended July 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.

As of July 31, 2021, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.
As of July 31, 2021, the cost basis for federal income tax purposes, gross unrealized appreciation, gross unrealized depreciation, and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for investments were as follows (amounts in thousands):

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA Capital Growth Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA Capital Growth Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of July 31, 2021, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust) at July 31, 2021, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more Victory Capital investment companies since 1995.

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 February 1, 2021, through July 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 2/1/21 | Actual Ending Account Value 7/31/21 | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 7/31/21 | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 2/1/21- 7/31/21* | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 2/1/21- 7/31/21* | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 2/1/21- 7/31/21 | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Institutional Shares | 1,000.00 | 1,171.30 | 1,021.37 | 3.71 | 3.46 | 0.69 | % |

Liquidity Risk Management Program:
The USAA Mutual Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the "LRMP") as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration the Fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions; its short and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other liquidity management tools such as available funding sources including the Victory Funds Complex Interfund Lending Facility and Line of Credit (discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements). The USAA Mutual Fund's Board of Trustees approved the appointment of the Fund's investment adviser, Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital"), as the administrator of the LRMP.
Victory Capital manages liquidity risks associated with the Fund's investments by monitoring, among other things, cash and cash equivalents, any use of derivatives, the concentration of investments, the appropriateness of the Fund's investment strategy, and by classifying every Fund investment as either highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid, or illiquid on at least a monthly basis. To assist with the classification of Fund investments, Victory Capital has retained a third-party provider of liquidity evaluation services. This provider determines preliminary liquidity classifications for all portfolio holdings based upon portfolio-level data and certain assumptions provided by Victory Capital. Victory Capital reviews the preliminary liquidity classifications and, when appropriate, considers other information including input from the Fund's portfolio managers (including the portfolio managers employed by any investment sub-advisers) in determining final liquidity classifications.
At a meeting held on March 10, 2021, Victory Capital provided an oral and written report to the Trustees on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP during the previous year. The report from Victory Capital concluded that the Fund did not experience any significant liquidity challenges during the covered period, and the Fund's LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage its liquidity risk. The report also concluded that the LRMP continues to operate adequately and effectively to enable Victory Capital to oversee and manage liquidity risk and ensure the Fund is able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution to the remaining investors' interest in the Fund. During the review period, the Fund's portfolio consisted primarily of highly liquid investments, which are defined as cash and any investments that the Fund reasonably expects to be converted to cash in current market conditions in three business days or less without significantly changing the market value of the investment. Therefore, the Fund has not adopted a highly liquid investment minimum. The Fund's investments were below the limitation on illiquid investments during the review period. Additionally, Victory Capital indicated that no events occurred that would require the filing of Form N-LIQUID and recommended no material changes to the LRMP.

Dear Shareholder,
It's hard to believe that it was just last summer when we were still coming to grips with a global pandemic, hoping for an effective vaccine, and wondering whether the U.S. Federal Reserve's (the "Fed's") aggressive actions would continue to mollify financial markets. As it turns out, a vaccine was rolled out (domestically) faster than expectations, and a recovery that began during the second quarter of 2020 continued unabated.
Fast forward to today and investors are still a bit uneasy, but with a different set of worries. Financial assets have recovered, but the pandemic is still on the back of everyone's mind, and we are all wondering how a recent surge in COVID-19 cases will impact markets going forward. Today, CEOs are expressing concerns about labor shortages, disrupted supply chains, rising commodity prices, and the potential for lasting inflation. If anything, this merely exemplifies just how dynamic and unpredictable markets can be.
Nevertheless, we consider ourselves relatively fortunate despite the myriad challenges of the past year. For starters, we are thankful how quickly the various forms of monetary and fiscal stimulus contributed to a rebound in gross domestic product ("GDP"). It wasn't a straight line upward and there were bouts of elevated volatility in both bond and stock markets. Late in 2020, for example, financial markets were alternately fueled and roiled by a contentious election season, growing optimism for an effective vaccine, and a fluid debate regarding the need for even more stimulus. Ultimately, stocks were propelled higher in the fourth quarter of 2020 as it became clear Congress would provide another dose of stimulus in the form of direct payments, more unemployment insurance, and additional aid to businesses.
As we moved into 2021, stocks continued their upward trajectory. Meanwhile, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury rallied sharply as many investors began to shift their focus. Deflation was out; inflation was in. More recently, the calculus has shifted once again. This summer a new variant of the virus emerged, and investors began worrying about future economic growth. With those concerns volatility re-emerged and Treasury yields retreated. The ride continues.
So how did markets actually fare during our most recent annual reporting period? Through all the volatility and surprises, the S&P 500® Index registered impressive gains of nearly 35% for this 12-month period ended July 31, 2021. Not coincidentally, this broad market index has been hovering near its all-time high. Over this same annual period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 69 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of one percent), reflecting a very low starting rate, substantial fiscal stimulus, and the Fed's ongoing accommodative monetary policy. As the end of our reporting period approached, however, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury began trending lower, reflecting pandemic and growth concerns and finishing at 1.24% on July 31, 2021.
Where to from here? Our investment professionals continually monitor the environment and work hard to position portfolios opportunistically. There will no doubt be more challenges ahead, but we think it's important to reflect on the positives and remember our collective spirit and perseverance. Markets endured this past
2
year and even surprised to the upside, and investors who remained calm in the face of adversity and focused on their longer-term investment goals were likely rewarded. In our view, that always seems to be the best approach no matter what the markets throw at us.
On the following pages, you will find information relating to your USAA Mutual Funds, brought to you by Victory Capital. If you have any questions regarding the current market dynamics or your specific portfolio or investment plan, we encourage you to contact our Member Service Representatives.

Managers' Commentary
(Unaudited)
• What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
The global financial markets produced healthy returns during the second half of 2020, wrapping up a positive year for the major asset classes. Investors' appetite for risk improved considerably in early November, when the approval of vaccines for COVID-19 raised expectations that the world economy could gradually return to normal in 2021. The conclusion of the U.S. elections, which removed a source of uncertainty that had depressed performance in September and October, was an additional tailwind. The markets were also aided by continued indications that the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") and other central banks would maintain their highly accommodative policies indefinitely. Not least, an agreement on a new round of U.S. fiscal stimulus further cheered investors in late December. Together, these developments outweighed negative headlines surrounding renewed lockdowns and the persistence of the coronavirus.
The first quarter of 2021 proved to be a continuation of the strong equity markets investors experienced over the second half of 2020. Gains from global equity markets were fueled by optimism surrounding the successful rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines coupled with further monetary and fiscal stimulus proposals. Faster-than-expected economic growth produced a meaningful increase in real interest rates, which led to negative returns across most major fixed income asset classes. The 10-year U.S. Treasury bond yield finished at its highest level of the first quarter reporting period climbing from under 1% to 1.74%.
In the second quarter of 2021, equity markets have been consolidating and interest rates leveling off after large upswings. With strong first quarter GDP and corporate earnings growth in the rearview mirror, investors seem to be contemplating their next move. Equity markets rotated from value to growth leadership as Treasury bond yields retreated from the highs of March. Inflation has been increasing as the economy reopens more quickly than expected. The Fed maintains that inflationary pressure is transitory but could become more persistent. The inflationary environment will be a key metric moving into the second half of the year.
During the last month of the reporting period, markets appeared to focus on the latest COVID-19 variant (delta) as rising infection numbers gave way to concerns around the reopening with mask mandates and other restrictions being reintroduced once again. During this time, large-cap growth names outperformed value and small-cap oriented securities.
• How did the USAA Aggressive Growth Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?
The Fund has two share classes: Fund Shares and Institutional Shares. For the reporting period ended July 31, 2021, the Fund Shares and Institutional Shares had total returns of 33.27% and 33.24%, respectively. This compares to returns of 36.68% for the Russell 1000® Growth Index (the "Index") and 36.07% for the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index.

Managers' Commentary (continued)
• What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?
For the reporting period, the Fund underperformed the Index as stock selection and sector allocation both detracted from performance versus the Index. In terms of allocation, a slight overweight to industrials hurt performance while an underweight to consumer staples helped. Stock selection within the financials sector was additive but it was more than offset by negative selection effect within the health care sector.
Thank you for allowing us to assist you with your investment needs.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements July 31, 2021 |
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.
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
16
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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, investments are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of 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 July 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 | $ | 2,293,181 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 2,293,181 | |||||||||||
Collateral for Securities Loaned | 11,022 | — | — | 11,022 | |||||||||||||||
Total | $ | 2,304,203 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 2,304,203 |
For the year ended July 31, 2021, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 in the 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 discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis.
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
17
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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 July 31, 2021.
Value of Securities on Loan | Non-Cash Collateral | Cash Collateral | |||||||||
$ | 10,677 | $ | — | $ | 11,022 |
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 an affiliated trust based upon net assets or another appropriate basis.
Income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses such as transfer agent fees, state registration fees, and printing fees), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets on the date income is earned or expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred.
3. Purchases and Sales:
Cost of purchases and proceeds from sales/maturities of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) for the year ended July 31, 2021, were as follows for the Fund (amounts in thousands):

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 an indirect wholly owned 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 $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 year ended July 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 Large-Cap Growth Funds Index. The Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index tracks the total return performance of the largest funds 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) | ||||||
+/- 100 to 400 | +/- 4 | ||||||
+/- 401 to 700 | +/- 5 | ||||||
+/- 701 and greater | +/- 6 |
(a) Based on the difference between the average annual performance of the relevant share class of the Fund and its relevant Lipper index, rounded to the nearest basis point.
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.
19
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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 July 1, 2020, to July 31, 2021, performance adjustments were $(781) and $(6) for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, in thousands, respectively. Performance adjustments were (0.04)% and (0.04)% for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, respectively. The performance adjustment rate included in the investment advisory fee may differ from the maximum over/under Annual Adjustment Rate due to differences in average net assets for the reporting period and rolling 36 month performance periods.
The Trust relies on an exemptive order granted to VCM and its affiliated funds by the SEC in March 2019 permitting the use of a "manager-of-managers" structure for certain funds. Under a manager-of-managers structure, the investment adviser may select (with approval of the Board and without shareholder approval) one or more subadvisers to manage the day-to-day investment of a fund's assets. For the year ended July 31, 2021, the Fund had no subadvisers.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM serves as the Fund's administrator and fund accountant. Under the Fund Administration, Servicing and Accounting Agreement, VCM is paid an administration and servicing fee that is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.15% and 0.10%, which is based on the Fund's average daily net assets of the Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, respectively. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Administration fees.
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. ("Citi"), an affiliate of Citibank, acts as sub-administrator and sub-fund accountant to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Administration and Sub-Fund Accounting Services Agreement between VCM and Citi. VCM pays Citi a fee for providing these services. The Fund reimburses VCM and Citi for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing these services and certain other expenses specifically allocated to the Fund. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Sub-Administration fees.
The Fund (as part of the Trust) has entered into an agreement to provide compliance services with the Adviser, pursuant to which the Adviser furnishes its compliance personnel, including the services of the Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO"), and other resources reasonably necessary to provide the Trust with compliance oversight services related to the design, administration, and oversight of a compliance program for the Trust in accordance with Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The CCO is an employee of the Adviser, which pays the compensation of the CCO and support staff. Funds in the Trust, Victory Variable Insurance Funds, Victory Portfolios, and Victory Portfolios II (collectively, the "Victory Funds Complex") in the aggregate, compensate the Adviser for these services. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Compliance 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 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 year ended July 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 June 30, 2023. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of the Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. Acquired fund fees and expenses, 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 July 31, 2021, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 0.75% and 0.70% for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, respectively.
Under the terms of the expense limitation agreement, amended May 1, 2021, 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 (thirty six (36) months) after 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. Prior to May 1, 2021, the Fund was permitted to recoup fees waived and expenses reimbursed for up to three years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement took place, subject to the limitations above. This change did not have any effect on the amounts previously reported for recoupment.
As of July 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 July 31, 2021.
Expires 2022 | Expires 2023 | Expires 2024 | Total | ||||||||||||
$ | 3 | $ | 13 | $ | 10 | $ | 26 |
The Adviser may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Fund in maintaining competitive expense ratios. Voluntary waivers and reimbursements applicable to the Fund are not available to be recouped at a future time. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the year ended July 31, 2021.
Certain officers and/or interested trustees of the Fund are also officers and/or employees of the Adviser, administrator, fund accountant, sub-administrator, sub-fund accountant, custodian, and Distributor.
6. Risks:
The Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
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
21
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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:
The Victory Funds Complex participates in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 29, 2021, with a termination date of June 27, 2022. 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 Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended July 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. Prior to June 29, 2021, the Victory Funds Complex paid an annual commitment fee of 0.15% and an upfront fee of 0.10%. 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 year ended July 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 in the Victory Funds Complex that is permitted to participate in the Facility, 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 year ended July 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
22
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
As of July 31, 2021, on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, reclassification adjustments were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Total Accumulated Earnings/(Loss) | Capital | ||||||
$ | (6,885 | ) | $ | 6,885 |
The tax character of distributions paid during the tax years ended as noted below, were as follows (total distributions paid may differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because, for tax purposes, dividends are recognized when actually paid) (amounts in thousands):

* The difference between the book-basis and tax-basis of unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
As of July 31, 2021, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.
During the tax year ended July 31, 2021, the Fund utilized $38,270 thousand of short-term capital loss carryforwards.
As of July 31, 2021, the cost basis for federal income tax purposes, gross unrealized appreciation, gross unrealized depreciation, and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for investments were as follows (amounts in thousands):

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA Aggressive Growth Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA Aggressive Growth Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of July 31, 2021, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust) at July 31, 2021, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more Victory Capital investment companies since 1995.

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) 235-8396. 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 February 1, 2021, through July 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 2/1/21 | Actual Ending Account Value 7/31/21 | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 7/31/21 | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 2/1/21- 7/31/21* | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 2/1/21- 7/31/21* | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 2/1/21- 7/31/21 | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Institutional Shares | 1,000.00 | 1,171.80 | 1,021.52 | 3.55 | 3.31 | 0.66 | % |

Liquidity Risk Management Program:
The USAA Mutual Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the "LRMP") as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration the Fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions; its short and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other liquidity management tools such as available funding sources including the Victory Funds Complex Interfund Lending Facility and Line of Credit (discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements). The USAA Mutual Fund's Board of Trustees approved the appointment of the Fund's investment adviser, Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital"), as the administrator of the LRMP.
Victory Capital manages liquidity risks associated with the Fund's investments by monitoring, among other things, cash and cash equivalents, any use of derivatives, the concentration of investments, the appropriateness of the Fund's investment strategy, and by classifying every Fund investment as either highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid, or illiquid on at least a monthly basis. To assist with the classification of Fund investments, Victory Capital has retained a third-party provider of liquidity evaluation services. This provider determines preliminary liquidity classifications for all portfolio holdings based upon portfolio-level data and certain assumptions provided by Victory Capital. Victory Capital reviews the preliminary liquidity classifications and, when appropriate, considers other information including input from the Fund's portfolio managers (including the portfolio managers employed by any investment sub-advisers) in determining final liquidity classifications.
At a meeting held on March 10, 2021, Victory Capital provided an oral and written report to the Trustees on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP during the previous year. The report from Victory Capital concluded that the Fund did not experience any significant liquidity challenges during the covered period, and the Fund's LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage its liquidity risk. The report also concluded that the LRMP continues to operate adequately and effectively to enable Victory Capital to oversee and manage liquidity risk and ensure the Fund is able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution to the remaining investors' interest in the Fund. During the review period, the Fund's portfolio consisted primarily of highly liquid investments, which are defined as cash and any investments that the Fund reasonably expects to be converted to cash in current market conditions in three business days or less without significantly changing the market value of the investment. Therefore, the Fund has not adopted a highly liquid investment minimum. The Fund's investments were below the limitation on illiquid investments during the review period. Additionally, Victory Capital indicated that no events occurred that would require the filing of Form N-LIQUID and recommended no material changes to the LRMP.

Dear Shareholder,
It's hard to believe that it was just last summer when we were still coming to grips with a global pandemic, hoping for an effective vaccine, and wondering whether the U.S. Federal Reserve's (the "Fed's") aggressive actions would continue to mollify financial markets. As it turns out, a vaccine was rolled out (domestically) faster than expectations, and a recovery that began during the second quarter of 2020 continued unabated.
Fast forward to today and investors are still a bit uneasy, but with a different set of worries. Financial assets have recovered, but the pandemic is still on the back of everyone's mind, and we are all wondering how a recent surge in COVID-19 cases will impact markets going forward. Today, CEOs are expressing concerns about labor shortages, disrupted supply chains, rising commodity prices, and the potential for lasting inflation. If anything, this merely exemplifies just how dynamic and unpredictable markets can be.
Nevertheless, we consider ourselves relatively fortunate despite the myriad challenges of the past year. For starters, we are thankful how quickly the various forms of monetary and fiscal stimulus contributed to a rebound in gross domestic product ("GDP"). It wasn't a straight line upward and there were bouts of elevated volatility in both bond and stock markets. Late in 2020, for example, financial markets were alternately fueled and roiled by a contentious election season, growing optimism for an effective vaccine, and a fluid debate regarding the need for even more stimulus. Ultimately, stocks were propelled higher in the fourth quarter of 2020 as it became clear Congress would provide another dose of stimulus in the form of direct payments, more unemployment insurance, and additional aid to businesses.
As we moved into 2021, stocks continued their upward trajectory. Meanwhile, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury rallied sharply as many investors began to shift their focus. Deflation was out; inflation was in. More recently, the calculus has shifted once again. This summer a new variant of the virus emerged, and investors began worrying about future economic growth. With those concerns volatility re-emerged and Treasury yields retreated. The ride continues.
So how did markets actually fare during our most recent annual reporting period? Through all the volatility and surprises, the S&P 500® Index registered impressive gains of nearly 35% for this 12-month period ended July 31, 2021. Not coincidentally, this broad market index has been hovering near its all-time high. Over this same annual period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 69 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of one percent), reflecting a very low starting rate, substantial fiscal stimulus, and the Fed's ongoing accommodative monetary policy. As the end of our reporting period approached, however, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury began trending lower, reflecting pandemic and growth concerns and finishing at 1.24% on July 31, 2021.
Where to from here? Our investment professionals continually monitor the environment and work hard to position portfolios opportunistically. There will no doubt be more challenges ahead, but we think it's important to reflect on the positives
2
and remember our collective spirit and perseverance. Markets endured this past year and even surprised to the upside, and investors who remained calm in the face of adversity and focused on their longer-term investment goals were likely rewarded. In our view, that always seems to be the best approach no matter what the markets throw at us.
On the following pages, you will find information relating to your USAA Mutual Funds, brought to you by Victory Capital. If you have any questions regarding the current market dynamics or your specific portfolio or investment plan, we encourage you to contact our Member Service Representatives.

Managers' Commentary
(Unaudited)
• What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
The global financial markets produced healthy returns during the second half of 2020, wrapping up a positive year for the major asset classes. Investors' appetite for risk improved considerably in early November, when the approval of vaccines for COVID-19 raised expectations that the world economy could gradually return to normal in 2021. The conclusion of the U.S. elections, which removed a source of uncertainty that had depressed performance in September and October, was an additional tailwind. The markets were also aided by continued indications that the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") and other central banks would maintain their highly accommodative policies indefinitely. Not least, an agreement on a new round of U.S. fiscal stimulus further cheered investors in late December. Together, these developments outweighed negative headlines surrounding renewed lockdowns and the persistence of the coronavirus.
The first quarter of 2021 proved to be a continuation of the strong equity markets investors experienced over the second half of 2020. Gains from global equity markets were fueled by optimism surrounding the successful rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines coupled with further monetary and fiscal stimulus proposals. Faster-than-expected economic growth produced a meaningful increase in real interest rates, which led to negative returns across most major fixed income asset classes. The 10-year U.S. Treasury bond yield finished at its highest level of the first quarter reporting period climbing from under 1% to 1.74%.
In the second quarter of 2021, equity markets have been consolidating and interest rates leveling off after large upswings. With strong first quarter GDP and corporate earnings growth in the rearview mirror, investors seem to be contemplating their next move. Equity markets rotated from value to growth leadership as Treasury bond yields retreated from the highs of March. Inflation has been increasing as the economy reopens more quickly than expected. The Fed maintains that inflationary pressure is transitory but could become more persistent. The inflationary environment will be a key metric moving into the second half of the year.
During the last month of the reporting period, markets appeared to focus on the latest COVID-19 variant (delta) as rising infection numbers gave way to concerns around the reopening with mask mandates and other restrictions being reintroduced once again. During this time, large-cap growth names outperformed value and small-cap oriented securities.
• How did the USAA Growth Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?
The Fund has two share classes: Fund Shares and Institutional Shares. For the reporting period ended July 31, 2021, the Fund Shares and Institutional Shares had total returns of 32.87% and 32.89%, respectively. This compares to returns of 36.68% for the Russell

Managers' Commentary (continued)
1000® Growth Index (the "Index") and 36.07% for the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index.
Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM") is the Fund's investment adviser. As the investment adviser, VCM employs dedicated resources to support the research, selection, and monitoring of the Fund's subadviser. Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P., is an external subadviser to the Fund, while NewBridge Asset Management and RS Investments Growth are VCM investment franchises that each manage portions of the Fund. Primary responsibility for the day-to-day discretionary management of the Fund lies with the subadviser and the investment franchises.
• What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?
For the reporting period, the Fund underperformed the Index as stock selection was the main detractor from performance while sector allocation also had a minor negative effect. In terms of allocation, an overweight position in industrials and underweight position in information technology hurt Fund performance, which was slightly offset by positive allocation effects in the consumer staples and communication services sectors.
Stock selection within the health care and consumer discretionary sectors detracted from Fund performance. On the positive side, stock selection in industrials and communication services added to Fund performance.
Thank you for allowing us to assist you with your investment needs.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements July 31, 2021 |
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.
16
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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, investments are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of 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 July 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 | $ | 3,515,257 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 3,515,257 | |||||||||||
Collateral for Securities Loaned | 4,238 | — | — | 4,238 | |||||||||||||||
Total | $ | 3,519,495 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 3,519,495 |
For the year ended July 31, 2021, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 in the 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 discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis.
17
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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 July 31, 2021.
Value of Securities on Loan | Non-Cash Collateral | Cash Collateral | |||||||||
$ | 4,105 | $ | — | $ | 4,238 |
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 an affiliated trust based upon net assets or another appropriate basis.
18
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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:

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 an indirect wholly owned 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 year ended July 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 Large-Cap Growth Funds Index. The Lipper Large-Cap
19
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
Growth Funds Index tracks the total return performance of the largest funds 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) | ||||||
+/- 100 to 400 | +/- 4 | ||||||
+/- 401 to 700 | +/- 5 | ||||||
+/- 701 and greater | +/- 6 |
(a) Based on the difference between the average annual performance of the relevant share class of the Fund and its relevant Lipper index, rounded to the nearest basis point.
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 July 1, 2020, to July 31, 2021, performance adjustments were $(875) and $(553) for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, in thousands, respectively. Performance adjustments were (0.04)% and (0.04)% for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, respectively. The performance adjustment rate included in the investment advisory fee may differ from the maximum over/under Annual Adjustment Rate due to differences in average net assets for the reporting period and rolling 36 month performance periods.
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). 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 an administration and servicing fee that is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.15% and 0.10%, which is based on the Fund's average daily net assets of the Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, respectively. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Administration fees.
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. ("Citi"), an affiliate of Citibank, acts as sub-administrator and sub-fund accountant to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Administration and Sub-Fund Accounting Services Agreement between VCM and Citi. VCM pays Citi a fee for providing these services. The Fund reimburses VCM and Citi for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing these services and certain other expenses specifically allocated to the Fund. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Sub-Administration fees.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
The Fund (as part of the Trust) has entered into an agreement to provide compliance services with the Adviser, pursuant to which the Adviser furnishes its compliance personnel, including the services of the Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO"), and other resources reasonably necessary to provide the Trust with compliance oversight services related to the design, administration, and oversight of a compliance program for the Trust in accordance with Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The CCO is an employee of the Adviser, which pays the compensation of the CCO and support staff. Funds in the Trust, Victory Variable Insurance Funds, Victory Portfolios, and Victory Portfolios II (collectively, the "Victory Funds Complex") in the aggregate, compensate the Adviser for these services. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Compliance 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 for the Institutional Shares are paid monthly based on a fee accrued daily at an annualized rate of 0.10% of average daily net assets, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the year ended July 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 year ended July 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 June 30, 2023. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of the Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. Acquired fund fees and expenses, 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 July 31, 2021, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 0.92% and 0.88% for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, respectively.
Under the terms of the expense limitation agreement, amended May 1, 2021, 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 (thirty six (36) months) after 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. Prior to May 1, 2021, the Fund was permitted to recoup fees waived and expenses reimbursed for up to three years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement took place, subject to the limitations above. This change did not have any effect on the amounts previously reported for recoupment. As of July 31, 2021, there are no amounts available to be repaid to the Adviser.
21
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 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 year ended July 31, 2021.
Certain officers and/or interested trustees of the Fund are also officers and/or employees of the Adviser, administrator, fund accountant, sub-administrator, sub-fund accountant, custodian, and Distributor.
6. Risks:
The Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
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.
7. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:
Line of Credit:
The Victory Funds Complex participates in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 29, 2021, with a termination date of June 27, 2022. 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 Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended July 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. Prior to June 29, 2021, the Victory Funds Complex paid an annual commitment fee of 0.15% and an upfront fee of 0.10%. 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 year ended July 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 in the Victory Funds Complex that is permitted to participate in the Facility, relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to
22
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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 year ended July 31, 2021, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Borrower or Lender | Amount Outstanding at July 31, 2021 | Average Borrowing* | Days Borrowing Outstanding | Average Interest Rate* | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | ||||||||||||||||||
Borrower | $ | — | $ | 4,384 | 22 | 0.63 | % | $ | 10,650 |
* For the year ended July 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.
As of July 31, 2021, on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, reclassification adjustments were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Total Accumulated Earnings/(Loss) | Capital | ||||||
$ | (14,275 | ) | $ | 14,275 |
The tax character of distributions paid during the tax years ended as noted below, were as follows (total distributions paid may differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because, for tax purposes, dividends are recognized when actually paid) (amounts in thousands):
Year Ended July 31, 2021 | Year Ended July 31, 2020 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Distributions paid from | Distributions paid from | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Ordinary Income | Net Long-Term Capital Gains | Total Distributions Paid | Ordinary Income | Net Long-Term Capital Gains | Total Distributions Paid | ||||||||||||||||||||||

23
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
As of July 31, 2021, the components of accumulated earnings (loss) on a tax basis were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Undistributed Ordinary Income | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains | Accumulated Earnings | Qualified Late-Year Losses* | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)** | Total Accumulated Earnings (Loss) | ||||||||||||||||||
$ | 58,014 | $ | 220,214 | $ | 278,228 | $ | (8,070 | ) | $ | 1,850,696 | $ | 2,120,854 |
* Qualified late-year losses are comprised of post-October capital losses incurred after October 31 and certain late-year ordinary losses. Late-year ordinary losses represent ordinary losses incurred after December 31 and specified losses incurred after October 31. These losses are deemed to arise on the first day of the Fund's next taxable year.
** The difference between the book-basis and tax-basis of unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and REITs/return of capital.
As of July 31, 2021, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.
As of July 31, 2021, the cost basis for federal income tax purposes, gross unrealized appreciation, gross unrealized depreciation, and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for investments were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Cost of Investments for Federal Tax Purposes | Gross Unrealized Appreciation | Gross Unrealized Depreciation | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | ||||||||||||||||

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA Growth Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA Growth Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of July 31, 2021, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust) at July 31, 2021, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more Victory Capital investment companies since 1995.

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 February 1, 2021, through July 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 2/1/21 | Actual Ending Account Value 7/31/21 | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 7/31/21 | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 2/1/21- 7/31/21* | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 2/1/21- 7/31/21* | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 2/1/21- 7/31/21 | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Institutional Shares | 1,000.00 | 1,173.80 | 1,020.68 | 4.47 | 4.16 | 0.83 | % |
* Expenses are equal to the average account value multiplied by the Fund's annualized expense ratio multiplied by 181/365 (the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year).

Liquidity Risk Management Program:
The USAA Mutual Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the "LRMP") as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration the Fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions; its short and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other liquidity management tools such as available funding sources including the Victory Funds Complex Interfund Lending Facility and Line of Credit (discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements). The USAA Mutual Fund's Board of Trustees approved the appointment of the Fund's investment adviser, Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital"), as the administrator of the LRMP.
Victory Capital manages liquidity risks associated with the Fund's investments by monitoring, among other things, cash and cash equivalents, any use of derivatives, the concentration of investments, the appropriateness of the Fund's investment strategy, and by classifying every Fund investment as either highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid, or illiquid on at least a monthly basis. To assist with the classification of Fund investments, Victory Capital has retained a third-party provider of liquidity evaluation services. This provider determines preliminary liquidity classifications for all portfolio holdings based upon portfolio-level data and certain assumptions provided by Victory Capital. Victory Capital reviews the preliminary liquidity classifications and, when appropriate, considers other information including input from the Fund's portfolio managers (including the portfolio managers employed by any investment sub-advisers) in determining final liquidity classifications.
At a meeting held on March 10, 2021, Victory Capital provided an oral and written report to the Trustees on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP during the previous year. The report from Victory Capital concluded that the Fund did not experience any significant liquidity challenges during the covered period, and the Fund's LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage its liquidity risk. The report also concluded that the LRMP continues to operate adequately and effectively to enable Victory Capital to oversee and manage liquidity risk and ensure the Fund is able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution to the remaining investors' interest in the Fund. During the review period, the Fund's portfolio consisted primarily of highly liquid investments, which are defined as cash and any investments that the Fund reasonably expects to be converted to cash in current market conditions in three business days or less without significantly changing the market value of the investment. Therefore, the Fund has not adopted a highly liquid investment minimum. The Fund's investments were below the limitation on illiquid investments during the review period. Additionally, Victory Capital indicated that no events occurred that would require the filing of Form N-LIQUID and recommended no material changes to the LRMP.

Dear Shareholder,
It's hard to believe that it was just last summer when we were still coming to grips with a global pandemic, hoping for an effective vaccine, and wondering whether the U.S. Federal Reserve's (the "Fed's") aggressive actions would continue to mollify financial markets. As it turns out, a vaccine was rolled out (domestically) faster than expectations, and a recovery that began during the second quarter of 2020 continued unabated.
Fast forward to today and investors are still a bit uneasy, but with a different set of worries. Financial assets have recovered, but the pandemic is still on the back of everyone's mind, and we are all wondering how a recent surge in COVID-19 cases will impact markets going forward. Today, CEOs are expressing concerns about labor shortages, disrupted supply chains, rising commodity prices, and the potential for lasting inflation. If anything, this merely exemplifies just how dynamic and unpredictable markets can be.
Nevertheless, we consider ourselves relatively fortunate despite the myriad challenges of the past year. For starters, we are thankful how quickly the various forms of monetary and fiscal stimulus contributed to a rebound in gross domestic product ("GDP"). It wasn't a straight line upward and there were bouts of elevated volatility in both bond and stock markets. Late in 2020, for example, financial markets were alternately fueled and roiled by a contentious election season, growing optimism for an effective vaccine, and a fluid debate regarding the need for even more stimulus. Ultimately, stocks were propelled higher in the fourth quarter of 2020 as it became clear Congress would provide another dose of stimulus in the form of direct payments, more unemployment insurance, and additional aid to businesses.
As we moved into 2021, stocks continued their upward trajectory. Meanwhile, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury rallied sharply as many investors began to shift their focus. Deflation was out; inflation was in. More recently, the calculus has shifted once again. This summer a new variant of the virus emerged, and investors began worrying about future economic growth. With those concerns volatility re-emerged and Treasury yields retreated. The ride continues.
So how did markets actually fare during our most recent annual reporting period? Through all the volatility and surprises, the S&P 500® Index registered impressive gains of nearly 35% for this 12-month period ended July 31, 2021. Not coincidentally, this broad market index has been hovering near its all-time high. Over this same annual period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 69 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of one percent), reflecting a very low starting rate, substantial fiscal stimulus, and the Fed's ongoing accommodative monetary policy. As the end of our reporting period approached, however, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury began trending lower, reflecting pandemic and growth concerns and finishing at 1.24% on July 31, 2021.
Where to from here? Our investment professionals continually monitor the environment and work hard to position portfolios opportunistically. There will no doubt be more challenges ahead, but we think it's important to reflect on the positives and remember our collective spirit and perseverance. Markets endured this past
2
year and even surprised to the upside, and investors who remained calm in the face of adversity and focused on their longer-term investment goals were likely rewarded. In our view, that always seems to be the best approach no matter what the markets throw at us.
On the following pages, you will find information relating to your USAA Mutual Funds, brought to you by Victory Capital. If you have any questions regarding the current market dynamics or your specific portfolio or investment plan, we encourage you to contact our Member Service Representatives.

Managers' Commentary
(Unaudited)
• What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
The global financial markets produced healthy returns during the second half of 2020, wrapping up a positive year for the major asset classes. Investors' appetite for risk improved considerably in early November, when the approval of vaccines for COVID-19 raised expectations that the world economy could gradually return to normal in 2021. The conclusion of the U.S. elections, which removed a source of uncertainty that had depressed performance in September and October, was an additional tailwind. The markets were also aided by continued indications that the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") and other central banks would maintain their highly accommodative policies indefinitely. Not least, an agreement on a new round of U.S. fiscal stimulus further cheered investors in late December. Together, these developments outweighed negative headlines surrounding renewed lockdowns and the persistence of the coronavirus.
The first quarter of 2021 proved to be a continuation of the strong equity markets investors experienced over the second half of 2020. Gains from global equity markets were fueled by optimism surrounding the successful rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines coupled with further monetary and fiscal stimulus proposals. Faster-than-expected economic growth produced a meaningful increase in real interest rates, which led to negative returns across most major fixed income asset classes. The 10-year U.S. Treasury bond yield finished at its highest level of the first quarter reporting period climbing from under 1% to 1.74%.
In the second quarter of 2021, equity markets have been consolidating and interest rates leveling off after large upswings. With strong first quarter GDP and corporate earnings growth in the rearview mirror, investors seem to be contemplating their next move. Equity markets rotated from value to growth leadership as Treasury bond yields retreated from the highs of March. Inflation has been increasing as the economy reopens more quickly than expected. The Fed maintains that inflationary pressure is transitory but could become more persistent. The inflationary environment will be a key metric moving into the second half of the year.
During the last month of the reporting period, markets appeared to focus on the latest COVID-19 variant (delta) as rising infection numbers gave way to concerns around the reopening with mask mandates and other restrictions being reintroduced once again. During this time, large-cap growth names outperformed value and small-cap oriented securities.
• How did the USAA Growth & Income Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?
The Fund has three share classes: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A. For the reporting period ended July 31, 2021, the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A had total returns of 32.24%, 32.32%, and 32.04%, respectively. This compares to

USAA Mutual Funds Trust
USAA Growth & Income Fund (continued)
Managers' Commentary (continued)
returns of 38.73% for the Russell 3000® Index (the "Index") and 38.50% for the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index.
• What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?
During the reporting period, the Fund recorded a positive return but underperformed the Index. Security selection detracted most from relative returns, while sector allocation also had a slight negative impact. In terms of stock selection, the Fund was harmed most by its holdings in the industrials, financials and health care sectors. On the other hand, stock selection in materials and consumer discretionary helped Fund performance.
Regarding sector allocations, the Fund's underweight in financials, which outperformed the index, hurt relative performance. The Fund's overweight to consumer discretionary was additive to performance.
Thank you for allowing us to assist you with your investment needs.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements July 31, 2021 |
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.
20
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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, investments are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Board. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, based on the observability of inputs used to determine the fair value. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, and the actual price realized from the sale of a security may differ materially from the fair value price. Valuing these securities at fair value is intended to cause the Fund's net asset value ("NAV") to be more reliable than it otherwise would be.
A summary of the valuations as of July 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 | $ | 2,137,320 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 2,137,320 | |||||||||||
Collateral for Securities Loaned | 22,004 | — | — | 22,004 | |||||||||||||||
Total | $ | 2,159,324 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 2,159,324 |
For the year ended July 31, 2021, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 in the 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 discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis.
21
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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 July 31, 2021.
Value of Securities on Loan | Non-Cash Collateral | Cash Collateral | |||||||||
$ | 21,228 | $ | — | $ | 22,004 |
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 an 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, printing fees, and 12b-1 fees) 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.

$ | 1,204,333 | $ | 1,379,992 |
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 an indirect wholly owned 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 year ended July 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 the largest funds 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) | ||||||
+/- 100 to 400 | +/- 4 | ||||||
+/- 401 to 700 | +/- 5 | ||||||
+/- 701 and greater | +/- 6 |
(a) Based on the difference between the average annual performance of the relevant share class of the Fund and its relevant Lipper index, rounded to the nearest basis point.
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.
23
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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 July 1, 2020, to July 31, 2021, performance adjustments were $(788), $(83), and $(4) for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares and Class A, in thousands, respectively. Performance adjustments were (0.04)%, (0.04)%, and (0.06)% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A, respectively. The performance adjustment rate included in the investment advisory fee may differ from the maximum over/under Annual Adjustment Rate due to differences in average net assets for the reporting period and rolling 36 month performance periods.
The Trust relies on an exemptive order granted to VCM and its affiliated funds by the SEC in March 2019 permitting the use of a "manager-of-managers" structure for certain funds. Under a manager-of-managers structure, the investment adviser may select (with approval of the Board and without shareholder approval) one or more subadvisers to manage the day-to-day investment of a fund's assets. For the year ended July 31, 2021, the Fund had no subadvisers.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM serves as the Fund's administrator and fund accountant. Under the Fund Administration, Servicing and Accounting Agreement, VCM is paid an administration and servicing fee that is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.15%, 0.10%, and 0.15%, which is based on the Fund's average daily net assets of the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A, respectively. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Administration fees.
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. ("Citi"), an affiliate of Citibank, acts as sub-administrator and sub-fund accountant to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Administration and Sub-Fund Accounting Services Agreement between VCM and Citi. VCM pays Citi a fee for providing these services. The Fund reimburses VCM and Citi for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing these services and certain other expenses specifically allocated to the Fund. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Sub-Administration fees.
The Fund (as part of the Trust) has entered into an agreement to provide compliance services with the Adviser, pursuant to which the Adviser furnishes its compliance personnel, including the services of the Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO"), and other resources reasonably necessary to provide the Trust with compliance oversight services related to the design, administration, and oversight of a compliance program for the Trust in accordance with Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The CCO is an employee of the Adviser, which pays the compensation of the CCO and support staff. Funds in the Trust, Victory Variable Insurance Funds, Victory Portfolios, and Victory Portfolios II (collectively, the "Victory Funds Complex") in the aggregate, compensate the Adviser for these services. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Compliance 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 for Institutional Shares and Class A are paid monthly based on a fee accrued daily at an annualized rate of 0.10% and 0.10%, respectively, of average daily net assets, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the year ended July 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 the Distributor for the year ended July 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 year ended July 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 June 30, 2023. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of the Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. Acquired fund fees and expenses, 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 July 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 the terms of the expense limitation agreement, amended May 1, 2021, 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 (thirty six (36) months) after 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. Prior to May 1, 2021, the Fund was permitted to recoup fees waived and expenses reimbursed for up to three years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement took place, subject to the limitations above. This change did not have any effect on the amounts previously reported for recoupment.
As of July 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 July 31, 2021.

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:
The Victory Funds Complex participates in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 29, 2021, with a termination date of June 27, 2022. 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 Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended July 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. Prior to June 29, 2021, the Victory Funds Complex paid an annual commitment fee of 0.15% and an upfront fee of 0.10%. 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 year ended July 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 in the Victory Funds Complex that is permitted to participate in the Facility, 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.

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.
As of July 31, 2021, on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, reclassification adjustments were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Total Accumulated Earnings/(Loss) | Capital | ||||||
$ | (3,113 | ) | $ | 3,113 |
The tax character of distributions paid during the tax years ended as noted below, were as follows (total distributions paid may differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because, for tax purposes, dividends are recognized when actually paid) (amounts in thousands):

As of July 31, 2021, the components of accumulated earnings (loss) on a tax basis were as follows (amounts in thousands):

* The difference between the book-basis and tax-basis of unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
As of July 31, 2021, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA Growth & Income Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA Growth & Income Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of July 31, 2021, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust) at July 31, 2021, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more Victory Capital investment companies since 1995.

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) 235-8396. 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 February 1, 2021, through July 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 2/1/21 | Actual Ending Account Value 7/31/21 | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 7/31/21 | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 2/1/21- 7/31/21* | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 2/1/21- 7/31/21* | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 2/1/21- 7/31/21 | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Liquidity Risk Management Program:
The USAA Mutual Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the "LRMP") as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration the Fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions; its short and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other liquidity management tools such as available funding sources including the Victory Funds Complex Interfund Lending Facility and Line of Credit (discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements). The USAA Mutual Fund's Board of Trustees approved the appointment of the Fund's investment adviser, Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital"), as the administrator of the LRMP.
Victory Capital manages liquidity risks associated with the Fund's investments by monitoring, among other things, cash and cash equivalents, any use of derivatives, the concentration of investments, the appropriateness of the Fund's investment strategy, and by classifying every Fund investment as either highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid, or illiquid on at least a monthly basis. To assist with the classification of Fund investments, Victory Capital has retained a third-party provider of liquidity evaluation services. This provider determines preliminary liquidity classifications for all portfolio holdings based upon portfolio-level data and certain assumptions provided by Victory Capital. Victory Capital reviews the preliminary liquidity classifications and, when appropriate, considers other information including input from the Fund's portfolio managers (including the portfolio managers employed by any investment sub-advisers) in determining final liquidity classifications.
At a meeting held on March 10, 2021, Victory Capital provided an oral and written report to the Trustees on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP during the previous year. The report from Victory Capital concluded that the Fund did not experience any significant liquidity challenges during the covered period, and the Fund's LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage its liquidity risk. The report also concluded that the LRMP continues to operate adequately and effectively to enable Victory Capital to oversee and manage liquidity risk and ensure the Fund is able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution to the remaining investors' interest in the Fund. During the review period, the Fund's portfolio consisted primarily of highly liquid investments, which are defined as cash and any investments that the Fund reasonably expects to be converted to cash in current market conditions in three business days or less without significantly changing the market value of the investment. Therefore, the Fund has not adopted a highly liquid investment minimum. The Fund's investments were below the limitation on illiquid investments during the review period. Additionally, Victory Capital indicated that no events occurred that would require the filing of Form N-LIQUID and recommended no material changes to the LRMP.

Dear Shareholder,
It's hard to believe that it was just last summer when we were still coming to grips with a global pandemic, hoping for an effective vaccine, and wondering whether the U.S. Federal Reserve's (the "Fed's") aggressive actions would continue to mollify financial markets. As it turns out, a vaccine was rolled out (domestically) faster than expectations, and a recovery that began during the second quarter of 2020 continued unabated.
Fast forward to today and investors are still a bit uneasy, but with a different set of worries. Financial assets have recovered, but the pandemic is still on the back of everyone's mind, and we are all wondering how a recent surge in COVID-19 cases will impact markets going forward. Today, CEOs are expressing concerns about labor shortages, disrupted supply chains, rising commodity prices, and the potential for lasting inflation. If anything, this merely exemplifies just how dynamic and unpredictable markets can be.
Nevertheless, we consider ourselves relatively fortunate despite the myriad challenges of the past year. For starters, we are thankful how quickly the various forms of monetary and fiscal stimulus contributed to a rebound in gross domestic product ("GDP"). It wasn't a straight line upward and there were bouts of elevated volatility in both bond and stock markets. Late in 2020, for example, financial markets were alternately fueled and roiled by a contentious election season, growing optimism for an effective vaccine, and a fluid debate regarding the need for even more stimulus. Ultimately, stocks were propelled higher in the fourth quarter of 2020 as it became clear Congress would provide another dose of stimulus in the form of direct payments, more unemployment insurance, and additional aid to businesses.
As we moved into 2021, stocks continued their upward trajectory. Meanwhile, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury rallied sharply as many investors began to shift their focus. Deflation was out; inflation was in. More recently, the calculus has shifted once again. This summer a new variant of the virus emerged, and investors began worrying about future economic growth. With those concerns volatility re-emerged and Treasury yields retreated. The ride continues.
So how did markets actually fare during our most recent annual reporting period? Through all the volatility and surprises, the S&P 500® Index registered impressive gains of nearly 35% for this 12-month period ended July 31, 2021. Not coincidentally, this broad market index has been hovering near its all-time high. Over this same annual period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 69 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of one percent), reflecting a very low starting rate, substantial fiscal stimulus, and the Fed's ongoing accommodative monetary policy. As the end of our reporting period approached, however, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury began trending lower, reflecting pandemic and growth concerns and finishing at 1.24% on July 31, 2021.
Where to from here? Our investment professionals continually monitor the environment and work hard to position portfolios opportunistically. There will no doubt be more challenges ahead, but we think it's important to reflect on the positives and remember our collective spirit and perseverance. Markets endured this past
2
year and even surprised to the upside, and investors who remained calm in the face of adversity and focused on their longer-term investment goals were likely rewarded. In our view, that always seems to be the best approach no matter what the markets throw at us.

Managers' Commentary
(Unaudited)
• What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
The global financial markets produced healthy returns during the second half of 2020, wrapping up a positive year for the major asset classes. Investors' appetite for risk improved considerably in early November, when the approval of vaccines for COVID-19 raised expectations that the world economy could gradually return to normal in 2021. The conclusion of the U.S. elections, which removed a source of uncertainty that had depressed performance in September and October, was an additional tailwind. The markets were also aided by continued indications that the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") and other central banks would maintain their highly accommodative policies indefinitely. Not least, an agreement on a new round of U.S. fiscal stimulus further cheered investors in late December. Together, these developments outweighed negative headlines surrounding renewed lockdowns and the persistence of the coronavirus.
The first quarter of 2021 proved to be a continuation of the strong equity markets investors experienced over the second half of 2020. Gains from global equity markets were fueled by optimism surrounding the successful rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines coupled with further monetary and fiscal stimulus proposals. Faster-than-expected economic growth produced a meaningful increase in real interest rates, which led to negative returns across most major fixed income asset classes. The 10-year U.S. Treasury bond yield finished at its highest level of the first quarter reporting period climbing from under 1% to 1.74%.
In the second quarter of 2021, equity markets have been consolidating and interest rates leveling off after large upswings. With strong first quarter GDP and corporate earnings growth in the rearview mirror, investors seem to be contemplating their next move. Equity markets rotated from value to growth leadership as Treasury bond yields retreated from the highs of March. Inflation has been increasing as the economy reopens more quickly than expected. The Fed maintains that inflationary pressure is transitory but could become more persistent. The inflationary environment will be a key metric moving into the second half of the year.
During the last month of the reporting period, markets appeared to focus on the latest COVID-19 variant (delta) as rising infection numbers gave way to concerns around the reopening with mask mandates and other restrictions being reintroduced once again. During this time, large-cap growth names outperformed value and small-cap oriented securities.
• How did the USAA Income Stock Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?
The Fund has three share classes: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and R6 Shares. For the reporting period ended July 31, 2021, the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and R6 Shares had a total return of 30.75%, 30.75%, and 34.71%, respectively. This compares to

USAA Mutual Funds Trust
USAA Income Stock Fund (continued)
Managers' Commentary (continued)
returns of 39.32% for the Russell 1000® Value Index (the "Index") and 33.16% for the Lipper Equity Income Funds Index.
• What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?
The Fund underperformed the Index during the reporting period ended July 31, 2021. Relative to the Index, the Fund was hurt primarily by stock selection, while sector allocation also had a minor negative effect. Stock selection detracted the most in the industrials, financials and communication services sectors, which was slightly offset by positive stock selection in materials and information technology. From an allocation perspective, the Fund's performance was hurt by a slight overweight to the utilities sector, while an underweight to communication services had a positive effect.
Thank you for allowing us to assist you with your investment needs.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements July 31, 2021 |
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.
20
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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, investments are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of 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 July 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 | $ | 2,809,341 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 2,809,341 | |||||||||||

Total | $ | 2,838,390 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 2,838,390 |
For the year ended July 31, 2021, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 in the 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 discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis.

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 July 31, 2021.
Value of Securities on Loan | Non-Cash Collateral | Cash Collateral | |||||||||
$ | 27,601 | $ | — | $ | 29,049 |
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 investment securities 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 (losses) from investment securities 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
22
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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 an affiliated trust based upon net assets or another appropriate basis.
Income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses such as transfer agent fees, state registration fees, and printing fees), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets on the date income is earned or expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred.
3. Purchases and Sales:
Cost of purchases and proceeds from sales/maturities of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) for the year ended July 31, 2021, were as follows for the Fund (amounts in thousands):

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 an indirect wholly owned 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 year ended July 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Investment Advisory fees.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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 the largest funds within the Lipper Equity Income Funds category.
The performance period for each share class consists of the current month plus the previous 35 months (or the number of months beginning July 1, 2019, if fewer). The following table is utilized to determine the extent of the performance adjustment:
Over/Under Performance Relative to Index (in basis points)(a) | Annual Adjustment Rate (in basis points) | ||||||
+/- 100 to 400 | +/- 4 | ||||||
+/- 401 to 700 | +/- 5 | ||||||
+/- 701 and greater | +/- 6 |
(a) Based on the difference between the average annual performance of the relevant share class of the Fund and its relevant Lipper index, rounded to the nearest basis point.
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 July 1, 2020, to July 31, 2021, performance adjustments were $(649), $(409), and $(3) for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares and R6 Shares in thousands, respectively. Performance adjustments were (0.04)%, (0.04)%, and (0.09)% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and R6 Shares, respectively. The performance adjustment rate included in the investment advisory fee may differ from the maximum over/under Annual Adjustment Rate due to differences in average net assets for the reporting period and rolling 36 month performance periods.
The Trust relies on an exemptive order granted to VCM and its affiliated funds by the SEC in March 2019 permitting the use of a "manager-of-managers" structure for certain funds. Under a manager-of-managers structure, the investment adviser may select (with approval of the Board and without shareholder approval) one or more subadvisers to manage the day-to-day investment of a fund's assets. For the year ended July 31, 2021, the Fund had no subadvisers.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM serves as the Fund's administrator and fund accountant. Under the Fund Administration, Servicing and Accounting Agreement, VCM is paid an administration and servicing fee that is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.15%, 0.10%, and 0.05%, which is based on the Fund's average daily net assets of the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares and R6 Shares, respectively. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Administration fees.

VCTA pays a portion of these fees to certain intermediaries for the administration and servicing of accounts that are held with such intermediaries. Transfer agent's fees for Institutional Shares and R6 Shares are paid monthly based on a fee accrued daily at an annualized rate of 0.10% and 0.01%, respectively, of average daily net assets, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the year ended July 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 June 30, 2023. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of the Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. Acquired fund fees and expenses, 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 July 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 the terms of the expense limitation agreement, amended May 1, 2021, 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 (thirty six (36) months) after 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
25
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |

Prior to May 1, 2021, the Fund was permitted to recoup fees waived and expenses reimbursed for up to three years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement took place, subject to the limitations above. This change did not have any effect on the amounts previously reported for recoupment.
As of July 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 July 31, 2021.
Expires 2022 | Expires 2023 | Expires 2024 | Total | ||||||||||||

6. Risks:
The Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
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.
7. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:
Line of Credit:
The Victory Funds Complex participates in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 29, 2021, with a termination date of June 27, 2022. 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 Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended July 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. Prior to June 29, 2021, the Victory Funds Complex paid an annual commitment fee of 0.15% and an upfront fee of 0.10%. Interest charged to each Fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Line of credit fees.
26
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
The Fund had no borrowings under the Line of Credit agreement during the year ended July 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 in the Victory Funds Complex that is permitted to participate in the Facility, 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 year ended July 31, 2021, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Borrower or Lender | Amount Outstanding at July 31, 2021 | Average Borrowing* | Days Borrowing Outstanding | Average Interest Rate* | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | ||||||||||||||||||

* For the year ended July 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.
As of July 31, 2021, on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, reclassification adjustments were as follows (amounts in thousands):

* The difference between the book-basis and tax-basis of unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and return of capital.
As of July 31, 2021, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.
During the tax year ended July 31, 2021, the Fund utilized $83,510 thousand of short-term capital loss carryforwards.
As of July 31, 2021, the cost basis for federal income tax purposes, gross unrealized appreciation, gross unrealized depreciation, and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for investments were as follows (amounts in thousands):

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA Income Stock Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA Income Stock Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of July 31, 2021, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust) at July 31, 2021, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more Victory Capital investment companies since 1995.

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) 235-8396. 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 February 1, 2021, through July 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 2/1/21 | Actual Ending Account Value 7/31/21 | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 7/31/21 | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 2/1/21- 7/31/21* | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 2/1/21- 7/31/21* | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 2/1/21- 7/31/21 | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Liquidity Risk Management Program:
The USAA Mutual Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the "LRMP") as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration the Fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions; its short and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other liquidity management tools such as available funding sources including the Victory Funds Complex Interfund Lending Facility and Line of Credit (discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements). The USAA Mutual Fund's Board of Trustees approved the appointment of the Fund's investment adviser, Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital"), as the administrator of the LRMP.
Victory Capital manages liquidity risks associated with the Fund's investments by monitoring, among other things, cash and cash equivalents, any use of derivatives, the concentration of investments, the appropriateness of the Fund's investment strategy, and by classifying every Fund investment as either highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid, or illiquid on at least a monthly basis. To assist with the classification of Fund investments, Victory Capital has retained a third-party provider of liquidity evaluation services. This provider determines preliminary liquidity classifications for all portfolio holdings based upon portfolio-level data and certain assumptions provided by Victory Capital. Victory Capital reviews the preliminary liquidity classifications and, when appropriate, considers other information including input from the Fund's portfolio managers (including the portfolio managers employed by any investment sub-advisers) in determining final liquidity classifications.
At a meeting held on March 10, 2021, Victory Capital provided an oral and written report to the Trustees on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP during the previous year. The report from Victory Capital concluded that the Fund did not experience any significant liquidity challenges during the covered period, and the Fund's LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage its liquidity risk. The report also concluded that the LRMP continues to operate adequately and effectively to enable Victory Capital to oversee and manage liquidity risk and ensure the Fund is able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution to the remaining investors' interest in the Fund. During the review period, the Fund's portfolio consisted primarily of highly liquid investments, which are defined as cash and any investments that the Fund reasonably expects to be converted to cash in current market conditions in three business days or less without significantly changing the market value of the investment. Therefore, the Fund has not adopted a highly liquid investment minimum. The Fund's investments were below the limitation on illiquid investments during the review period. Additionally, Victory Capital indicated that no events occurred that would require the filing of Form N-LIQUID and recommended no material changes to the LRMP.

Dear Shareholder,
It's hard to believe that it was just last summer when we were still coming to grips with a global pandemic, hoping for an effective vaccine, and wondering whether the U.S. Federal Reserve's (the "Fed's") aggressive actions would continue to mollify financial markets. As it turns out, a vaccine was rolled out (domestically) faster than expectations, and a recovery that began during the second quarter of 2020 continued unabated.
Fast forward to today and investors are still a bit uneasy, but with a different set of worries. Financial assets have recovered, but the pandemic is still on the back of everyone's mind, and we are all wondering how a recent surge in COVID-19 cases will impact markets going forward. Today, CEOs are expressing concerns about labor shortages, disrupted supply chains, rising commodity prices, and the potential for lasting inflation. If anything, this merely exemplifies just how dynamic and unpredictable markets can be.
Nevertheless, we consider ourselves relatively fortunate despite the myriad challenges of the past year. For starters, we are thankful how quickly the various forms of monetary and fiscal stimulus contributed to a rebound in gross domestic product ("GDP"). It wasn't a straight line upward and there were bouts of elevated volatility in both bond and stock markets. Late in 2020, for example, financial markets were alternately fueled and roiled by a contentious election season, growing optimism for an effective vaccine, and a fluid debate regarding the need for even more stimulus. Ultimately, stocks were propelled higher in the fourth quarter of 2020 as it became clear Congress would provide another dose of stimulus in the form of direct payments, more unemployment insurance, and additional aid to businesses.
As we moved into 2021, stocks continued their upward trajectory. Meanwhile, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury rallied sharply as many investors began to shift their focus. Deflation was out; inflation was in. More recently, the calculus has shifted once again. This summer a new variant of the virus emerged, and investors began worrying about future economic growth. With those concerns volatility re-emerged and Treasury yields retreated. The ride continues.
So how did markets actually fare during our most recent annual reporting period? Through all the volatility and surprises, the S&P 500® Index registered impressive gains of nearly 35% for this 12-month period ended July 31, 2021. Not coincidentally, this broad market index has been hovering near its all-time high. Over this same annual period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 69 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of one percent), reflecting a very low starting rate, substantial fiscal stimulus, and the Fed's ongoing accommodative monetary policy. As the end of our reporting period approached, however, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury began trending lower, reflecting pandemic and growth concerns and finishing at 1.24% on July 31, 2021.
Where to from here? Our investment professionals continually monitor the environment and work hard to position portfolios opportunistically. There will no doubt be more challenges ahead, but we think it's important to reflect on the positives and remember our collective spirit and perseverance. Markets endured this past
2
year and even surprised to the upside, and investors who remained calm in the face of adversity and focused on their longer-term investment goals were likely rewarded. In our view, that always seems to be the best approach no matter what the markets throw at us.
On the following pages, you will find information relating to your USAA Mutual Funds, brought to you by Victory Capital. If you have any questions regarding the current market dynamics or your specific portfolio or investment plan, we encourage you to contact our Member Service Representatives. Call (800) 235-8396 or visit our website at www.vcm.com.
From all of us here at Victory Capital, thank you for letting us help you work toward your investment goals.

Managers' Commentary
(Unaudited)
• What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
The global financial markets produced healthy returns during the second half of 2020, wrapping up a positive year for the major asset classes. Investors' appetite for risk improved considerably in early November, when the approval of vaccines for COVID-19 raised expectations that the world economy could gradually return to normal in 2021. The conclusion of the U.S. elections, which removed a source of uncertainty that had depressed performance in September and October, was an additional tailwind. The markets were also aided by continued indications that the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") and other central banks would maintain their highly accommodative policies indefinitely. Not least, an agreement on a new round of U.S. fiscal stimulus further cheered investors in late December. Together, these developments outweighed negative headlines surrounding renewed lockdowns and the persistence of the coronavirus.
The first quarter of 2021 proved to be a continuation of the strong equity markets investors experienced over the second half of 2020. Gains from global equity markets were fueled by optimism surrounding the successful rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines coupled with further monetary and fiscal stimulus proposals. Faster-than-expected economic growth produced a meaningful increase in real interest rates, which led to negative returns across most major fixed income asset classes. The 10-year U.S. Treasury bond yield finished at its highest level of the first quarter reporting period climbing from under 1% to 1.74%.
In the second quarter of 2021, equity markets have been consolidating and interest rates leveling off after large upswings. With strong first quarter GDP and corporate earnings growth in the rearview mirror, investors seem to be contemplating their next move. Equity markets rotated from value to growth leadership as Treasury bond yields retreated from the highs of March. Inflation has been increasing as the economy reopens more quickly than expected. The Fed maintains that inflationary pressure is transitory but could become more persistent. The inflationary environment will be a key metric moving into the second half of the year.
During the last month of the reporting period, markets appeared to focus on the latest COVID-19 variant (delta) as rising infection numbers gave way to concerns around the reopening with mask mandates and other restrictions being reintroduced once again. During this time, large-cap growth names outperformed value and small-cap oriented securities.
• How did the USAA Science & Technology Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?
The Fund has two share classes: Fund Shares and Class A. For the reporting period ended July 31, 2021, the Fund Shares and Class A had total returns of 33.71% and 33.31%, respectively. This compares to returns of 36.45% for the S&P 500® Index, 40.38% for the S&P North American Technology Index, 27.77% for the S&P Composite 1500 Health Care Index, and 45.19% for the Lipper Science & Technology Funds Index.

Managers' Commentary (continued)
Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM") is the Fund's investment adviser. As the investment adviser, VCM employs dedicated resources to support the research, selection, and monitoring of the Fund's subadviser. Wellington Management Company LLP is an external subadviser to the Fund, while RS Investments Growth is a VCM investment franchise that each manage portions of the Fund. Primary responsibility for the day-to-day discretionary management of the Fund lies with the subadviser and the investment franchises.
• What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?
The Fund had strong positive returns for the reporting period ended July 31, 2021. Overall, stock selection in health care had the largest positive effect on relative performance, while individual stock selection in information technology detracted from Fund performance. On the other hand, the overall allocation in information technology had a positive effect on Fund performance.
Thank you for allowing us to assist you with your investment needs.

The total returns quoted do not reflect adjustments made to the enclosed financial statements in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles or the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on net investment income and realized capital gain distributions, including reinvested distributions, or redemptions of shares. The total return figures set forth above include all waivers of fees. Without such fee waivers, the total returns would have been lower.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements July 31, 2021 |
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 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.
24
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
Portfolio securities listed or traded on securities exchanges, including Exchange-Traded Funds ("ETFs"), American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), Private Investments in Public Equities, 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, investments are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of 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 July 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 | $ | 1,896,020 | $ | 66,108 | $ | — | $ | 1,962,128 | |||||||||||
Rights | — | — | — | — | |||||||||||||||
Warrants | 384 | — | (a) | — | 384 | ||||||||||||||
Collateral for Securities Loaned | 80,695 | — | — | 80,695 | |||||||||||||||
Total | $ | 1,977,099 | $ | 66,108 | $ | — | $ | 2,043,207 |
(a) Rounds to less than $1 thousand.
As of July 31, 2021, there were no significant Level 3 holdings in the fair value hierarchy. For the year ended July 31, 2021, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 in the 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.
Special Purpose Acquisition Companies ("SPAC"):
The Fund may invest in stock, warrants and other securities of special purpose acquisition companies ("SPACs"). A SPAC typically is a publicly traded company that raises funds through an initial public offering ("IPO") for the purpose of acquiring or merging with another company to be identified subsequent to the SPAC's IPO. If the Fund purchases shares of a SPAC in an IPO it generally will bear a sales commission, which may be significant. The securities of a SPAC are often issued in "units" that include one share of common stock and one right or warrant (or partial right or warrant) conveying the right to purchase
25
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
additional shares or partial shares. Unless and until a transaction is completed, a SPAC generally invests its assets (less a portion retained to cover expenses) in U.S. government securities, money market funds and similar investments whose returns or yields may be significantly lower than those of the Fund's other investments. If an acquisition or merger that meets the requirements for the SPAC is not completed within a pre-established period of time, the invested funds are returned to the SPAC's shareholders, less certain permitted expenses, and any rights or warrants issued by the SPAC will expire worthless.
Private Investments in Public Equities:
The Fund may acquire common stock or a security convertible into common stock, such as a warrant or convertible preferred stock, directly from an issuer seeking to raise capital in a private placement pursuant to Regulation D under the 1933 Act. These transactions are commonly referred to as a private placement in a publicly-held company, or "PIPE." The issuer's common stock is usually publicly traded on a U.S. securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market, but the securities acquired will be subject to restrictions on resale imposed by U.S. securities laws absent an effective registration statement. In recognition of the illiquid nature of the securities being acquired, the purchase price paid in a PIPE transaction (or the conversion price of the convertible securities being acquired) will typically be fixed at a discount to the prevailing market price of the issuer's common stock at the time of the transaction. As part of a PIPE transaction, the issuer usually will be contractually obligated to seek to register, within an agreed upon period of time for public resale under the U.S. securities laws, the common stock or the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible securities. PIPE transactions typically involve the purchase of securities directly from a publicly traded company or its affiliates in a private placement transaction, including through a SPAC, typically at a discount to the market price of the issuer's securities. If the issuer fails to so register the shares within that period, the buyer may be entitled to additional consideration from the issuer (e.g. warrants to acquire additional shares of common stock), but the buyer may not be able to sell its shares unless and until the registration process is successfully completed. Thus PIPE transactions present certain risks not associated with open market purchases of equities.
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 July 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 discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis.
26
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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 July 31, 2021.
Value of Securities on Loan | Non-Cash Collateral | Cash Collateral | |||||||||
$ | 74,472 | (a) | $ | — | $ | 80,695 |
(a) Includes $18 thousand of securities on loan that were sold prior to July 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 investment securities 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 (losses) from investment securities 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
27
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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 an 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, printing fees, and 12b-1 fees), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets on the date income is earned or expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred.
3. Purchases and Sales:
Cost of purchases and proceeds from sales/maturities of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) for the year ended July 31, 2021, were as follows for the Fund (amounts in thousands):

Purchases | Sales | ||||||||||
$ | 828,244 | $ | 1,059,719 |
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 an indirect wholly owned 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 year ended July 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,
28
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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 the largest funds 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) | ||||||
+/- 100 to 400 | +/- 4 | ||||||
+/- 401 to 700 | +/- 5 | ||||||
+/- 701 and greater | +/- 6 |
(a) Based on the difference between the average annual performance of the relevant share class of the Fund and its relevant Lipper index, rounded to the nearest basis point.
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 July 1, 2020, to July 31, 2021, performance adjustments were $(35) and $(6) for Fund Shares and Class A, in thousands, respectively. Performance adjustments were less than (0.01)% and less than (0.01)% for Fund Shares and Class A, respectively. The performance adjustment rate included in the investment advisory fee may differ from the maximum over/under Annual Adjustment Rate due to differences in average net assets for the reporting period and rolling 36 month performance periods.
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 an administration and servicing fee that is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.15% and 0.15%, which is based on the Fund's average daily net assets of the Fund Shares and Class A, respectively. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Administration 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
29
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
between VCM and Citi. VCM pays Citi a fee for providing these services. The Fund 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 year ended July 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Sub-Administration fees.
The Fund (as part of the Trust) has entered into an agreement to provide compliance services with the Adviser, pursuant to which the Adviser furnishes its compliance personnel, including the services of the Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO"), and other resources reasonably necessary to provide the Trust with compliance oversight services related to the design, administration, and oversight of a compliance program for the Trust in accordance with Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The CCO is an employee of the Adviser, which pays the compensation of the CCO and support staff. Funds in the Trust, Victory Variable Insurance Funds, Victory Portfolios, and Victory Portfolios II (collectively, the "Victory Funds Complex") in the aggregate, compensate the Adviser for these services. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Compliance 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 for the Class A are paid monthly based on a fee accrued daily at an annualized rate of 0.10% of average daily net assets, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the year ended July 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 the Distributor for the year ended July 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 year ended July 31, 2021, the Distributor received $2 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 year ended July 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 June 30, 2023. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of the Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. Acquired fund fees and expenses, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other
30
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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 July 31, 2021, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 1.06% and 1.34% for Fund Shares and Class A, respectively.
Under the terms of the expense limitation agreement, amended May 1, 2021, 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 (thirty six (36) months) after 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. Prior to May 1, 2021, the Fund was permitted to recoup fees waived and expenses reimbursed for up to three years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement took place, subject to the limitations above. This change did not have any effect on the amounts previously reported for recoupment. As of July 31, 2021, there are no amounts available to be repaid to the Adviser.
The Adviser may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Fund in maintaining competitive expense ratios. Voluntary waivers and reimbursements applicable to the Fund are not available to be recouped at a future time. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the year ended July 31, 2021.
Certain officers and/or interested trustees of the Fund are also officers and/or employees of the Adviser, administrator, fund accountant, sub-administrator, sub-fund accountant, custodian, and Distributor.
5. Risks:
The Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
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.
Private Investments in Public Equities Risk — The risks associated with PIPE transactions that the Fund invests is that the issuer may be unable to register the shares for public resale in a timely manner or at all, in which case the shares may be sold only in a privately negotiated transaction, typically at a price less than that paid, assuming a suitable buyer can be found. Disposing of the securities may involve time-consuming negotiation and legal expenses, and selling them promptly at an acceptable
31
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
price may be difficult or impossible. Even if the shares are registered for public resale, the market for the issuer's securities may nevertheless be "thin" or illiquid, making the sale of securities at desired prices or in desired quantities difficult or impossible. While private placements may offer attractive opportunities not otherwise available in the open market, the securities purchased are usually "restricted securities" or are "not readily marketable." Restricted securities cannot be sold without being registered under the 1933 Act, unless they are sold pursuant to an exemption from registration (such as Rules 144 or 144A under the 1933 Act). Securities that are not readily marketable are subject to other legal or contractual restrictions on resale.
Special Purpose Acquisition Company Risk — An investment in a SPAC is subject to a variety of risks, including that (1) a portion of the monies raised by the SPAC for the purpose of effecting an acquisition or merger may be expended prior to the transaction for payment of taxes and other expenses; (2) the Fund generally will not receive significant income from its investments in SPACs (both prior to and after any acquisition or merger) and, therefore, the Fund's investments in SPACs will not significantly contribute to the Fund's distributions to shareholders; (3) an attractive acquisition or merger target may not be identified at all or a proposed merger or acquisition may be unable to obtain the requisite approval, if any, of SPAC shareholders and/or antitrust and securities regulators; (4) the warrants or other rights with respect to the SPAC held by the Fund may expire worthless or may be redeemed by the SPAC at an unfavorable price; (5) the Fund may be subject to opportunity costs to the extent that alternative investments would have produced higher returns; (6) an acquisition or merger once effected may prove unsuccessful and an investment in the SPAC may lose value; (7) while a SPAC is seeking a transaction target, its stock may be thinly traded and/or illiquid and there can be no assurance that a market will develop, leaving the Fund unable to sell its interest in a SPAC or to sell its interest only at a price below what the Fund believes is the SPAC interest's intrinsic value, (8) an investment in a SPAC may be diluted by additional later offerings of interests in the SPAC or by other investors exercising existing rights to purchase shares of the SPAC; and (9) the values of investments in SPACs may be highly volatile and may depreciate significantly over time. The proceeds of a SPAC IPO that are placed in trust are subject to risks, including the risk of insolvency of the custodian of the funds, fraud by the trustee, interest rate risk and credit and liquidity risk relating to the securities and money market funds in which the proceeds are invested.
6. Borrowing and Interfund Lending:
Line of Credit:
The Victory Funds Complex participates in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 29, 2021, with a termination date of June 27, 2022. 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 Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended July 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. Prior to June 29, 2021, the Victory Funds Complex paid an annual commitment fee of 0.15% and an upfront fee of 0.10%. 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 year ended July 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 in the Victory Funds Complex that is permitted to participate in the Facility, 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
32
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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 year ended July 31, 2021, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Borrower or Lender | Amount Outstanding at July 31, 2021 | Average Borrowing* | Days Borrowing Outstanding | Average Interest Rate* | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | ||||||||||||||||||
Borrower | $ | — | $ | 1,973 | 2 | 0.60 | % | $ | 2,091 |
* For the year ended July 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 the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
As of July 31, 2021, on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, reclassification adjustments were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Total Accumulated Earnings/(Loss) | Capital | ||||||
$ | (10,367 | ) | $ | 10,367 |
The tax character of distributions paid during the tax years ended as noted below, were as follows (total distributions paid may differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because, for tax purposes, dividends are recognized when actually paid) (amounts in thousands):

* The difference between the book-basis and tax-basis of unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
As of July 31, 2021, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.
As of July 31, 2021, the cost basis for federal income tax purposes, gross unrealized appreciation, gross unrealized depreciation, and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for investments were as follows (amounts in thousands):

8. Affiliated Securities
An affiliated security is a security in which the Fund has ownership of at least 5% of the security's outstanding voting shares, an investment company managed by VCM, or an issuer under common control with a Fund or VCM. The Fund does not invest in affiliated securities for the purpose of exercising management or control. These securities are noted as affiliated on the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments.
Transactions in affiliated securities during the year ended July 31, 2021 were as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA Science & Technology Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA Science & Technology Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of July 31, 2021, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust) at July 31, 2021, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more Victory Capital investment companies since 1995.

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) 235-8396. 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 February 1, 2021, through July 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 2/1/21 | Actual Ending Account Value 7/31/21 | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 7/31/21 | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 2/1/21- 7/31/21* | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 2/1/21- 7/31/21* | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 2/1/21- 7/31/21 | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Liquidity Risk Management Program:
The USAA Mutual Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the "LRMP") as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration the Fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions; its short and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other liquidity management tools such as available funding sources including the Victory Funds Complex Interfund Lending Facility and Line of Credit (discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements). The USAA Mutual Fund's Board of Trustees approved the appointment of the Fund's investment adviser, Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital"), as the administrator of the LRMP.
Victory Capital manages liquidity risks associated with the Fund's investments by monitoring, among other things, cash and cash equivalents, any use of derivatives, the concentration of investments, the appropriateness of the Fund's investment strategy, and by classifying every Fund investment as either highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid, or illiquid on at least a monthly basis. To assist with the classification of Fund investments, Victory Capital has retained a third-party provider of liquidity evaluation services. This provider determines preliminary liquidity classifications for all portfolio holdings based upon portfolio-level data and certain assumptions provided by Victory Capital. Victory Capital reviews the preliminary liquidity classifications and, when appropriate, considers other information including input from the Fund's portfolio managers (including the portfolio managers employed by any investment sub-advisers) in determining final liquidity classifications.
At a meeting held on March 10, 2021, Victory Capital provided an oral and written report to the Trustees on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP during the previous year. The report from Victory Capital concluded that the Fund did not experience any significant liquidity challenges during the covered period, and the Fund's LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage its liquidity risk. The report also concluded that the LRMP continues to operate adequately and effectively to enable Victory Capital to oversee and manage liquidity risk and ensure the Fund is able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution to the remaining investors' interest in the Fund. During the review period, the Fund's portfolio consisted primarily of highly liquid investments, which are defined as cash and any investments that the Fund reasonably expects to be converted to cash in current market conditions in three business days or less without significantly changing the market value of the investment. Therefore, the Fund has not adopted a highly liquid investment minimum. The Fund's investments were below the limitation on illiquid investments during the review period. Additionally, Victory Capital indicated that no events occurred that would require the filing of Form N-LIQUID and recommended no material changes to the LRMP.

Dear Shareholder,
It's hard to believe that it was just last summer when we were still coming to grips with a global pandemic, hoping for an effective vaccine, and wondering whether the U.S. Federal Reserve's (the "Fed's") aggressive actions would continue to mollify financial markets. As it turns out, a vaccine was rolled out (domestically) faster than expectations, and a recovery that began during the second quarter of 2020 continued unabated.
Fast forward to today and investors are still a bit uneasy, but with a different set of worries. Financial assets have recovered, but the pandemic is still on the back of everyone's mind, and we are all wondering how a recent surge in COVID-19 cases will impact markets going forward. Today, CEOs are expressing concerns about labor shortages, disrupted supply chains, rising commodity prices, and the potential for lasting inflation. If anything, this merely exemplifies just how dynamic and unpredictable markets can be.
Nevertheless, we consider ourselves relatively fortunate despite the myriad challenges of the past year. For starters, we are thankful how quickly the various forms of monetary and fiscal stimulus contributed to a rebound in gross domestic product ("GDP"). It wasn't a straight line upward and there were bouts of elevated volatility in both bond and stock markets. Late in 2020, for example, financial markets were alternately fueled and roiled by a contentious election season, growing optimism for an effective vaccine, and a fluid debate regarding the need for even more stimulus. Ultimately, stocks were propelled higher in the fourth quarter of 2020 as it became clear Congress would provide another dose of stimulus in the form of direct payments, more unemployment insurance, and additional aid to businesses.
As we moved into 2021, stocks continued their upward trajectory. Meanwhile, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury rallied sharply as many investors began to shift their focus. Deflation was out; inflation was in. More recently, the calculus has shifted once again. This summer a new variant of the virus emerged, and investors began worrying about future economic growth. With those concerns volatility re-emerged and Treasury yields retreated. The ride continues.
So how did markets actually fare during our most recent annual reporting period? Through all the volatility and surprises, the S&P 500® Index registered impressive gains of nearly 35% for this 12-month period ended July 31, 2021. Not coincidentally, this broad market index has been hovering near its all-time high. Over this same annual period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 69 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of one percent), reflecting a very low starting rate, substantial fiscal stimulus, and the Fed's ongoing accommodative monetary policy. As the end of our reporting period approached, however, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury began trending lower, reflecting pandemic and growth concerns and finishing at 1.24% on July 31, 2021.
Where to from here? Our investment professionals continually monitor the environment and work hard to position portfolios opportunistically. There will no doubt be more challenges ahead, but we think it's important to reflect on the positives and remember our collective spirit and perseverance. Markets endured this past
2
year and even surprised to the upside, and investors who remained calm in the face of adversity and focused on their longer-term investment goals were likely rewarded. In our view, that always seems to be the best approach no matter what the markets throw at us.

Managers' Commentary
(Unaudited)
• What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
The global financial markets produced healthy returns during the second half of 2020, wrapping up a positive year for the major asset classes. Investors' appetite for risk improved considerably in early November, when the approval of vaccines for COVID-19 raised expectations that the world economy could gradually return to normal in 2021. The conclusion of the U.S. elections, which removed a source of uncertainty that had depressed performance in September and October, was an additional tailwind. The markets were also aided by continued indications that the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") and other central banks would maintain their highly accommodative policies indefinitely. Not least, an agreement on a new round of U.S. fiscal stimulus further cheered investors in late December. Together, these developments outweighed negative headlines surrounding renewed lockdowns and the persistence of the coronavirus.
The first quarter of 2021 proved to be a continuation of the strong equity markets investors experienced over the second half of 2020. Gains from global equity markets were fueled by optimism surrounding the successful rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines coupled with further monetary and fiscal stimulus proposals. Faster-than-expected economic growth produced a meaningful increase in real interest rates, which led to negative returns across most major fixed income asset classes. The 10-year U.S. Treasury bond yield finished at its highest level of the first quarter reporting period climbing from under 1% to 1.74%.
In the second quarter of 2021, equity markets have been consolidating and interest rates leveling off after large upswings. With strong first quarter GDP and corporate earnings growth in the rearview mirror, investors seem to be contemplating their next move. Equity markets rotated from value to growth leadership as Treasury bond yields retreated from the highs of March. Inflation has been increasing as the economy reopens more quickly than expected. The Fed maintains that inflationary pressure is transitory but could become more persistent. The inflationary environment will be a key metric moving into the second half of the year.
During the last month of the reporting period, markets appeared to focus on the latest COVID-19 variant (delta) as rising infection numbers gave way to concerns around the reopening with mask mandates and other restrictions being reintroduced once again. During this time, large-cap growth names outperformed value and small-cap oriented securities.

Managers' Commentary (continued)
• How did the USAA Small Cap Stock Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?
The Fund has two share classes: Fund Shares and Institutional Shares. For the reporting period ended July 31, 2021, the Fund Shares and Institutional Shares had total returns of 55.25% and 55.30%, respectively. This compares to returns of 51.97% for the Russell 2000® Index (the "Index"), 56.95% for the S&P SmallCap 600® Index, and 54.08% for the Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Index.
Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM") is the Fund's investment adviser. As the investment adviser, VCM employs dedicated resources to support the research, selection, and monitoring of the Fund's subadvisers. Wellington Management Company LLP* and Granahan Investment Management, Inc., are external subadvisers to the Fund, while Munder Capital Management, RS Investments Value, and THB Asset Management* are VCM investment franchises that each manage portions of the Fund. Primary responsibility for the day-to-day discretionary management of the Fund lies with the subadvisers and the investment franchises.
• What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?
For the reporting period ended July 31, 2021, the Fund outperformed the Index as stock selection and sector allocation both contributed to performance versus the Russell 2000 Index. In terms of allocation, the Fund's underweight exposure to health care and utilities helped performance. On the other hand, the Fund's overweight position in consumer discretionary as well as information technology detracted from Fund performance.
Stock selection within the health care, information technology, and consumer discretionary sectors contributed to fund performance, whereas it was a detractor in energy and consumer staples.
Thank you for allowing us to assist you with your investment needs.
*Effective March 19, 2021, Wellington no longer manages the Fund and TBH was added as a Victory Capital Management investment franchise on the Fund.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements July 31, 2021 |
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.
28
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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, investments are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of 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 July 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 | $ | 1,446,515 | $ | — | $ | — | (a) | $ | 1,446,515 | ||||||||||
Exchange-Traded Funds | 1,905 | — | — | 1,905 | |||||||||||||||
Collateral for Securities Loaned | 27,687 | — | — | 27,687 | |||||||||||||||
Total | $ | 1,476,107 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 1,476,107 |
(a) Zero market value security.
As of July 31, 2021, there were no significant Level 3 holdings in the fair value hierarchy. For the year ended July 31, 2021, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 in the 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 fixed 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.
29
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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 July 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 discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis.
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
30
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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 July 31, 2021.
Value of Securities on Loan | Non-Cash Collateral | Cash Collateral | |||||||||
$ | 26,619 | $ | — | $ | 27,687 |
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 investment securities 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 (losses) from investment securities and foreign currency translations on the Statement of Operations.
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 an 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 SEC. The Adviser is an indirect wholly owned 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 year ended July 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 the largest funds within the Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds category.
32
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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) | ||||||
+/- 100 to 400 | +/- 4 | ||||||
+/- 401 to 700 | +/- 5 | ||||||
+/- 701 and greater | +/- 6 |
(a) Based on the difference between the average annual performance of the relevant share class of the Fund and its relevant Lipper index, rounded to the nearest basis point.
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 July 1, 2020, to July 31, 2021, performance adjustments were $348 and $401 for Fund Share and Institutional Shares, in thousands, respectively. Performance adjustments were 0.05% and 0.06% for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, respectively. The performance adjustment rate included in the investment advisory fee may differ from the maximum over/under Annual Adjustment Rate due to differences in average net assets for the reporting period and rolling 36 month performance periods.
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. Effective March 19, 2021, Wellington Management is no longer a subadviser to the Fund.
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 an administration and servicing fee that is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.15% and 0.10%, which is based on the Fund's average daily net assets of the Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, respectively. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Administration fees.
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. ("Citi"), an affiliate of Citibank, acts as sub-administrator and sub-fund accountant to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Administration and Sub-Fund Accounting Services Agreement between VCM and Citi. VCM pays Citi a fee for providing these services. The Fund reimburses VCM and Citi for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing these services and certain other expenses specifically allocated to the Fund. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Sub-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
33
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
with compliance oversight services related to the design, administration, and oversight of a compliance program for the Trust in accordance with Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The CCO is an employee of the Adviser, which pays the compensation of the CCO and support staff. Funds in the Trust, Victory Variable Insurance Funds, Victory Portfolios, and Victory Portfolios II (collectively, the "Victory Funds Complex") in the aggregate, compensate the Adviser for these services. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Compliance 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 for the Institutional Shares are paid monthly based on a fee accrued daily at an annualized rate of 0.10% of average daily net assets, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the year ended July 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 year ended July 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 June 30, 2023. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of the Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. Acquired fund fees and expenses, 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 July 31, 2021, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 1.10% and 0.98% for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, respectively.
Under the terms of the expense limitation agreement, amended May 1, 2021, 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 (thirty six (36) months) after 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. Prior to May 1, 2021, the Fund was permitted to recoup fees waived and expenses reimbursed for up to three years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement took place, subject to the limitations above. This change did not have any effect on the amounts previously reported for recoupment.
As of July 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 July 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 year ended July 31, 2021.
Certain officers and/or interested trustees of the Fund are also officers and/or employees of the Adviser, administrator, fund accountant, sub-administrator, sub-fund accountant, custodian, and Distributor.
6. Risks:
The Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
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.
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:
The Victory Funds Complex participates in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 29, 2021, with a termination date of June 27, 2022. 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 Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended July 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. Prior to June 29, 2021, the Victory Funds Complex paid an annual commitment fee of 0.15% and an upfront fee of 0.10%. 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 year ended July 31, 2021.
35
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 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 in the Victory Funds Complex that is permitted to participate in the Facility, 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 year ended July 31, 2021, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Borrower or Lender | Amount Outstanding at July 31, 2021 | Average Borrowing* | Days Borrowing Outstanding | Average Interest Rate* | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | ||||||||||||||||||
Borrower | $ | — | $ | 2,080 | 13 | 0.60 | % | $ | 4,196 |
* For the year ended July 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.
As of July 31, 2021, on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, reclassification adjustments were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Total Accumulated Earnings/(Loss) | Capital | ||||||
$ | (18,047 | ) | $ | 18,047 |
The tax character of distributions paid during the tax years ended as noted below, were as follows (total distributions paid may differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because, for tax purposes, dividends are recognized when actually paid) (amounts in thousands):
Year Ended July 31, 2021 | Year Ended July 31, 2020 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

$ | 129,902 | $ | 152,346 | $ | 282,248 | $ | 322,611 | $ | 604,859 |
* The difference between the book-basis and tax-basis of unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, passive foreign investment company adjustments, and REITs/return of capital.
As of July 31, 2021, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.
As of July 31, 2021, the cost basis for federal income tax purposes, gross unrealized appreciation, gross unrealized depreciation, and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for investments were as follows (amounts in thousands):

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA Small Cap Stock Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA Small Cap Stock Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of July 31, 2021, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust) at July 31, 2021, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more Victory Capital investment companies since 1995.

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) 235-8396. 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 February 1, 2021, through July 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 2/1/21 | Actual Ending Account Value 7/31/21 | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 7/31/21 | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 2/1/21- 7/31/21* | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 2/1/21- 7/31/21* | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 2/1/21- 7/31/21 | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Liquidity Risk Management Program:
The USAA Mutual Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the "LRMP") as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration the Fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions; its short and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other liquidity management tools such as available funding sources including the Victory Funds Complex Interfund Lending Facility and Line of Credit (discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements). The USAA Mutual Fund's Board of Trustees approved the appointment of the Fund's investment adviser, Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital"), as the administrator of the LRMP.
Victory Capital manages liquidity risks associated with the Fund's investments by monitoring, among other things, cash and cash equivalents, any use of derivatives, the concentration of investments, the appropriateness of the Fund's investment strategy, and by classifying every Fund investment as either highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid, or illiquid on at least a monthly basis. To assist with the classification of Fund investments, Victory Capital has retained a third-party provider of liquidity evaluation services. This provider determines preliminary liquidity classifications for all portfolio holdings based upon portfolio-level data and certain assumptions provided by Victory Capital. Victory Capital reviews the preliminary liquidity classifications and, when appropriate, considers other information including input from the Fund's portfolio managers (including the portfolio managers employed by any investment sub-advisers) in determining final liquidity classifications.
At a meeting held on March 10, 2021, Victory Capital provided an oral and written report to the Trustees on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP during the previous year. The report from Victory Capital concluded that the Fund did not experience any significant liquidity challenges during the covered period, and the Fund's LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage its liquidity risk. The report also concluded that the LRMP continues to operate adequately and effectively to enable Victory Capital to oversee and manage liquidity risk and ensure the Fund is able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution to the remaining investors' interest in the Fund. During the review period, the Fund's portfolio consisted primarily of highly liquid investments, which are defined as cash and any investments that the Fund reasonably expects to be converted to cash in current market conditions in three business days or less without significantly changing the market value of the investment. Therefore, the Fund has not adopted a highly liquid investment minimum. The Fund's investments were below the limitation on illiquid investments during the review period. Additionally, Victory Capital indicated that no events occurred that would require the filing of Form N-LIQUID and recommended no material changes to the LRMP.

Dear Shareholder,
It's hard to believe that it was just last summer when we were still coming to grips with a global pandemic, hoping for an effective vaccine, and wondering whether the U.S. Federal Reserve's (the "Fed's") aggressive actions would continue to mollify financial markets. As it turns out, a vaccine was rolled out (domestically) faster than expectations, and a recovery that began during the second quarter of 2020 continued unabated.
Fast forward to today and investors are still a bit uneasy, but with a different set of worries. Financial assets have recovered, but the pandemic is still on the back of everyone's mind, and we are all wondering how a recent surge in COVID-19 cases will impact markets going forward. Today, CEOs are expressing concerns about labor shortages, disrupted supply chains, rising commodity prices, and the potential for lasting inflation. If anything, this merely exemplifies just how dynamic and unpredictable markets can be.
Nevertheless, we consider ourselves relatively fortunate despite the myriad challenges of the past year. For starters, we are thankful how quickly the various forms of monetary and fiscal stimulus contributed to a rebound in gross domestic product ("GDP"). It wasn't a straight line upward and there were bouts of elevated volatility in both bond and stock markets. Late in 2020, for example, financial markets were alternately fueled and roiled by a contentious election season, growing optimism for an effective vaccine, and a fluid debate regarding the need for even more stimulus. Ultimately, stocks were propelled higher in the fourth quarter of 2020 as it became clear Congress would provide another dose of stimulus in the form of direct payments, more unemployment insurance, and additional aid to businesses.
As we moved into 2021, stocks continued their upward trajectory. Meanwhile, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury rallied sharply as many investors began to shift their focus. Deflation was out; inflation was in. More recently, the calculus has shifted once again. This summer a new variant of the virus emerged, and investors began worrying about future economic growth. With those concerns volatility re-emerged and Treasury yields retreated. The ride continues.
So how did markets actually fare during our most recent annual reporting period? Through all the volatility and surprises, the S&P 500® Index registered impressive gains of nearly 35% for this 12-month period ended July 31, 2021. Not coincidentally, this broad market index has been hovering near its all-time high. Over this same annual period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 69 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of one percent), reflecting a very low starting rate, substantial fiscal stimulus, and the Fed's ongoing accommodative monetary policy. As the end of our reporting period approached, however, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury began trending lower, reflecting pandemic and growth concerns and finishing at 1.24% on July 31, 2021.
Where to from here? Our investment professionals continually monitor the environment and work hard to position portfolios opportunistically. There will no doubt be more challenges ahead, but we think it's important to reflect on the positives and remember our collective spirit and perseverance. Markets endured this past
2
year and even surprised to the upside, and investors who remained calm in the face of adversity and focused on their longer-term investment goals were likely rewarded. In our view, that always seems to be the best approach no matter what the markets throw at us.
On the following pages, you will find information relating to your USAA Mutual Funds, brought to you by Victory Capital. If you have any questions regarding the current market dynamics or your specific portfolio or investment plan, we encourage you to contact our Member Service Representatives. Call (800) 235-8396 or visit our website at www.vcm.com.
From all of us here at Victory Capital, thank you for letting us help you work toward your investment goals.

Managers' Commentary
(Unaudited)
• What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
The global financial markets produced healthy returns during the second half of 2020, wrapping up a positive year for the major asset classes. Investors' appetite for risk improved considerably in early November, when the approval of vaccines for COVID-19 raised expectations that the world economy could gradually return to normal in 2021. The conclusion of the U.S. elections, which removed a source of uncertainty that had depressed performance in September and October, was an additional tailwind. The markets were also aided by continued indications that the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") and other central banks would maintain their highly accommodative policies indefinitely. Not least, an agreement on a new round of U.S. fiscal stimulus further cheered investors in late December. Together, these developments outweighed negative headlines surrounding renewed lockdowns and the persistence of the coronavirus.
The first quarter of 2021 proved to be a continuation of the strong equity markets investors experienced over the second half of 2020. Gains from global equity markets were fueled by optimism surrounding the successful rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines coupled with further monetary and fiscal stimulus proposals. Faster-than-expected economic growth produced a meaningful increase in real interest rates, which led to negative returns across most major fixed income asset classes. The 10-year U.S. Treasury bond yield finished at its highest level of the first quarter reporting period climbing from under 1% to 1.74%.
In the second quarter of 2021, equity markets have been consolidating and interest rates leveling off after large upswings. With strong first quarter GDP and corporate earnings growth in the rearview mirror, investors seem to be contemplating their next move. Equity markets rotated from value to growth leadership as Treasury bond yields retreated from the highs of March. Inflation has been increasing as the economy reopens more quickly than expected. The Fed maintains that inflationary pressure is transitory but could become more persistent. The inflationary environment will be a key metric moving into the second half of the year.
During the last month of the reporting period, markets appeared to focus on the latest COVID-19 variant (delta) as rising infection numbers gave way to concerns around the reopening with mask mandates and other restrictions being reintroduced once again. During this time, large-cap growth names outperformed value and small-cap oriented securities.
• How did the USAA Value Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?
The Fund has three share classes: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A. For the reporting period ended July 31, 2021, the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A had a total return of 39.66%, 39.83%, and 39.88%, respectively. This compares to returns of 39.32% for the Russell 1000® Value Index (the "Index"), 40.71% for the

USAA Value Fund (continued)
Managers' Commentary (continued)
Russell 3000® Value Index, 39.82% for the Lipper Large-Cap Value Funds Index, and 45.55% for the Lipper Multi-Cap Value Funds Index.
• What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?
The Fund outperformed the Index during the reporting period. Relative to the Index, the Fund was helped primarily by security selection, though sector allocations were also additive to performance. Stock selection in the information technology and materials sectors contributed most to the Fund's relative returns. From an allocation perspective, an overweight position in financials also helped performance.
Thank you for allowing us to assist you with your investment needs.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements July 31, 2021 |
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.
20
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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, investments are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of 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 July 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 | $ | 1,096,162 | $ | — | $ | — | (a) | $ | 1,096,162 | ||||||||||
Collateral for Securities Loaned | 5,437 | — | — | 5,437 | |||||||||||||||
Total | $ | 1,101,599 | $ | — | $ | — | (a) | $ | 1,101,599 |
(a) Zero market value security
As of July 31, 2021, there were no significant Level 3 holdings in the fair value hierarchy.
For the year ended July 31, 2021, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 in the 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
21
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis.
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 July 31, 2021.
Value of Securities on Loan | Non-Cash Collateral | Cash Collateral | |||||||||
$ | 5,275 | $ | — | $ | 5,437 |
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 an affiliated trust based upon net assets or another appropriate basis.
22
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
Income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses such as transfer agent fees, state registration fees, printing fees and 12b-1 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:

Affiliated USAA Mutual Funds | 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 an indirect wholly owned 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 year ended July 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 Value Funds Index. The Lipper Multi-Cap Value Funds Index tracks the total return performance of the largest funds within the Lipper Multi-Cap Value Funds category.
23
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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) | ||||||
+/- 100 to 400 | +/- 4 | ||||||
+/- 401 to 700 | +/- 5 | ||||||
+/- 701 and greater | +/- 6 |
(a) Based on the difference between the average annual performance of the relevant share class of the Fund and its relevant Lipper index, rounded to the nearest basis point.
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 July 1, 2020, to July 31, 2021, performance fees were $(332), $(94), and $(3) for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A, in thousands, respectively. Performance adjustments were (0.04)%, (0.04)%, and (0.06)% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A, respectively. The performance adjustment rate included in the investment advisory fee may differ from the maximum over/under Annual Adjustment Rate due to differences in average net assets for the reporting period and rolling 36 month performance periods.
The Trust relies on an exemptive order granted to VCM and its affiliated funds by the SEC in March 2019 permitting the use of a "manager-of-managers" structure for certain funds. Under a manager-of-managers structure, the investment adviser may select (with approval of the Board and without shareholder approval) one or more subadvisers to manage the day-to-day investment of a fund's assets. For the year ended July 31, 2021, the Fund had no subadvisers.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM serves as the Fund's administrator and fund accountant. Under the Fund Administration, Servicing and Accounting Agreement, VCM is paid an administrative and servicing fee that is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.15%, 0.10%, and 0.15%, which is based on the Fund's average daily net assets of the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A, respectively. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Administration fees.
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. ("Citi"), an affiliate of Citibank, acts as sub-administrator and sub-fund accountant to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Administration and Sub-Fund Accounting Services Agreement between VCM and Citi. VCM pays Citi a fee for providing these services. The Fund reimburses VCM and Citi for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing these services and certain other expenses specifically allocated to the Fund. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Sub-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.

24
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
Variable Insurance Funds, Victory Portfolios, and Victory Portfolios II (collectively, the "Victory Funds Complex") in the aggregate, compensate the Adviser for these services. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Compliance 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 for Institutional Shares and Class A are paid monthly based on a fee accrued daily at an annualized rate of 0.10% and 0.10%, respectively, of average daily net assets, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the year ended July 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 the Distributor for the year ended July 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 year ended July 31, 2021, the Distributor did not receive any commissions.
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 June 30, 2023. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of the Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. Acquired fund fees and expenses, 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 July 31, 2021, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 0.96%, 0.88%, and 1.27% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A, respectively.
Under the terms of the expense limitation agreement, amended May 1, 2021, 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 (thirty six (36) months) after 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. Prior to May 1, 2021, the Fund was permitted to recoup fees waived and expenses reimbursed for up to three years after the fiscal year in
25

which the waiver or reimbursement took place, subject to the limitations above. This change did not have any effect on the amounts previously reported for recoupment.
As of July 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 July 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 year ended July 31, 2021.
Certain officers and/or interested trustees of the Fund are also officers and/or employees of the Adviser, administrator, fund accountant, sub-administrator, sub-fund accountant, custodian, and Distributor.
6. Risks:
The Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
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:
The Victory Funds Complex participates in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 29, 2021, with a termination date of June 27, 2022. 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 Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended July 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. Prior to June 29,
26
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
2021, the Victory Funds Complex paid an annual commitment fee of 0.15% and an upfront fee of 0.10%. 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 year ended July 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 in the Victory Funds Complex that is permitted to participate in the Facility, 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 year ended July 31, 2021, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Borrower or Lender | Amount Outstanding at July 31, 2021 | Average Borrowing* | Days Borrowing Outstanding | Average Interest Rate* | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | ||||||||||||||||||
Borrower | $ | — | $ | 2,551 | 5 | 0.59 | % | $ | 2,787 |
* For the year ended July 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.
As of July 31, 2021, on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, there were no permanent book-to-tax difference reclassification adjustments.

* The difference between the book-basis and tax-basis of unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, and partnership.
As of July 31, 2021, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.
During the tax year ended July 31, 2021, the Fund utilized $80,366 thousand of short-term capital loss carryforwards.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA Value Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA Value Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of July 31, 2021, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust) at July 31, 2021, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more Victory Capital investment companies since 1995.

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) 235-8396. 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 February 1, 2021, through July 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 2/1/21 | Actual Ending Account Value 7/31/21 | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 7/31/21 | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 2/1/21- 7/31/21* | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 2/1/21- 7/31/21* | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 2/1/21- 7/31/21 | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Liquidity Risk Management Program:
The USAA Mutual Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the "LRMP") as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration the Fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions; its short and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other liquidity management tools such as available funding sources including the Victory Funds Complex Interfund Lending Facility and Line of Credit (discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements). The USAA Mutual Fund's Board of Trustees approved the appointment of the Fund's investment adviser, Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital"), as the administrator of the LRMP.
Victory Capital manages liquidity risks associated with the Fund's investments by monitoring, among other things, cash and cash equivalents, any use of derivatives, the concentration of investments, the appropriateness of the Fund's investment strategy, and by classifying every Fund investment as either highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid, or illiquid on at least a monthly basis. To assist with the classification of Fund investments, Victory Capital has retained a third-party provider of liquidity evaluation services. This provider determines preliminary liquidity classifications for all portfolio holdings based upon portfolio-level data and certain assumptions provided by Victory Capital. Victory Capital reviews the preliminary liquidity classifications and, when appropriate, considers other information including input from the Fund's portfolio managers (including the portfolio managers employed by any investment sub-advisers) in determining final liquidity classifications.
At a meeting held on March 10, 2021, Victory Capital provided an oral and written report to the Trustees on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP during the previous year. The report from Victory Capital concluded that the Fund did not experience any significant liquidity challenges during the covered period, and the Fund's LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage its liquidity risk. The report also concluded that the LRMP continues to operate adequately and effectively to enable Victory Capital to oversee and manage liquidity risk and ensure the Fund is able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution to the remaining investors' interest in the Fund. During the review period, the Fund's portfolio consisted primarily of highly liquid investments, which are defined as cash and any investments that the Fund reasonably expects to be converted to cash in current market conditions in three business days or less without significantly changing the market value of the investment. Therefore, the Fund has not adopted a highly liquid investment minimum. The Fund's investments were below the limitation on illiquid investments during the review period. Additionally, Victory Capital indicated that no events occurred that would require the filing of Form N-LIQUID and recommended no material changes to the LRMP.

Dear Shareholder,
It's hard to believe that it was just last summer when we were still coming to grips with a global pandemic, hoping for an effective vaccine, and wondering whether the U.S. Federal Reserve's (the "Fed's") aggressive actions would continue to mollify financial markets. As it turns out, a vaccine was rolled out (domestically) faster than expectations, and a recovery that began during the second quarter of 2020 continued unabated.
Fast forward to today and investors are still a bit uneasy, but with a different set of worries. Financial assets have recovered, but the pandemic is still on the back of everyone's mind, and we are all wondering how a recent surge in COVID-19 cases will impact markets going forward. Today, CEOs are expressing concerns about labor shortages, disrupted supply chains, rising commodity prices, and the potential for lasting inflation. If anything, this merely exemplifies just how dynamic and unpredictable markets can be.
Nevertheless, we consider ourselves relatively fortunate despite the myriad challenges of the past year. For starters, we are thankful how quickly the various forms of monetary and fiscal stimulus contributed to a rebound in gross domestic product ("GDP"). It wasn't a straight line upward and there were bouts of elevated volatility in both bond and stock markets. Late in 2020, for example, financial markets were alternately fueled and roiled by a contentious election season, growing optimism for an effective vaccine, and a fluid debate regarding the need for even more stimulus. Ultimately, stocks were propelled higher in the fourth quarter of 2020 as it became clear Congress would provide another dose of stimulus in the form of direct payments, more unemployment insurance, and additional aid to businesses.
As we moved into 2021, stocks continued their upward trajectory. Meanwhile, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury rallied sharply as many investors began to shift their focus. Deflation was out; inflation was in. More recently, the calculus has shifted once again. This summer a new variant of the virus emerged, and investors began worrying about future economic growth. With those concerns volatility re-emerged and Treasury yields retreated. The ride continues.
So how did markets actually fare during our most recent annual reporting period? Through all the volatility and surprises, the S&P 500® Index registered impressive gains of nearly 35% for this 12-month period ended July 31, 2021. Not coincidentally, this broad market index has been hovering near its all-time high. Over this same annual period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 69 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of one percent), reflecting a very low starting rate, substantial fiscal stimulus, and the Fed's ongoing accommodative monetary policy. As the end of our reporting period approached, however, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury began trending lower, reflecting pandemic and growth concerns and finishing at 1.24% on July 31, 2021.
Where to from here? Our investment professionals continually monitor the environment and work hard to position portfolios opportunistically. There will no doubt be more challenges ahead, but we think it's important to reflect on the positives and remember our collective spirit and perseverance. Markets endured this past
2
year and even surprised to the upside, and investors who remained calm in the face of adversity and focused on their longer-term investment goals were likely rewarded. In our view, that always seems to be the best approach no matter what the markets throw at us.

Managers' Commentary
(Unaudited)
• What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
Unprecedented is a word that has been used quite a bit over the last year or so. Never in the history of the United States (and most, if not all, of the world for that matter) has most of the country's economy been put into a self-imposed shut down. The COVID-19 pandemic was the reason for this self-imposed shutdown, which led to unprecedented economic results. For example, at its low point, U.S. employment shrank by almost 21 million people in one month alone. The pre-COVID-19 unemployment rate jumped from a very low 3.5% to a high of 14.8%, all in a matter of two months. Similarly, real GDP saw a collapse of -31.2% in the second quarter of 2020. While these numbers are unprecedented, there was other human and economic damage that stemmed from the pandemic, including bankruptcies (both business and personal), deferred health care, and other human tragedies that are difficult, if not impossible, to measure.
Thankfully, the United States and the world are beginning to emerge from this unprecedented tragedy. Most states have lifted their lockdowns, and life has begun returning to normal. The economy started adding jobs in May 2020, but still remains about five million jobs short of the jobs that were lost during the pandemic, but we are seeing progress every month. Likewise, GDP jumped 33.8% in the third quarter of 2020, and has been relatively strong since. One result of returning to normal, however, has been a surge in inflation.
Higher inflation was a trigger that led to the recent increase in interest rates, causing the yield curve to steepen, especially in the one year and longer part of the Treasury curve, as the market began pricing in increases in the short term Federal Funds rate. The widely followed Consumer Price Index ("CPI") began showing the effects of the economy getting back to normal in March 2021, as CPI posted a 2.6% increase, and then a string of higher monthly numbers: 4.2%, 5%, 5.40%, and 5.40% from April through July 2021, respectively. While these rates are higher than they have been, this increase is likely transitory, as most of the increase has been in used car prices, gasoline, and rents, demand for which was suppressed during the pandemic. In fact, if we take the average monthly CPI from March 2020 through July 2021 (to account for lower CPI during the pandemic), the average is 2.1%, which is just slightly over the 2019 average monthly CPI of 1.82%.
Credit spreads spiked in March 2020 and hit their high point at 373 basis points ("bps"), but decreased relatively quickly during the year. They are now lower than pre-pandemic spreads: the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Investment Grade Corporate Index option adjusted spread was 93 bps at December 31, 2019, and ended July 2021 at 86 bps. Year over year by ratings, AAA, AA, A, and BBB spreads fell by 13, 29, 31, and 66 bps, respectively. High-yield spreads decreased by 195 bps. (Spreads generally are considered an indication of risk; the wider the spread, the greater the perceived risk.)
No doubt, the unprecedented stimulus from the federal and state governments, in the form of direct payments to consumers and businesses (funded by unprecedented borrowing), helped calm markets and allowed out of work employees to manage for a time without a paycheck. Likewise, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") corporate bond

USAA Income Fund (continued)
Managers' Commentary (continued)
buying programs and effectively zero short term interest rates helped the credit markets stay open. Many corporations took advantage of cheap funding and borrowed heavily to have adequate cash to help survive the lockdowns.
For its part, the Fed appears committed to an effectively zero Federal Funds rate for the near term, indicating no increases until 2023. Although Treasury rates have recently risen and the yield curve has steepened, rates remain below year end 2019 by 152 bps at the short end of the curve, 68 bps for the 10 year, and by 50 bps at the long end.
• How did the USAA Income Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?
The Fund has five share classes: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, Class C, and R6 Shares. For the reporting period ended July 31, 2021, the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, Class C, and R6 Shares had total returns of 3.75%, 3.80%, 3.50%, 2.73%, and 3.90%, respectively. This compares to returns of -0.70% for the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the "Index") and 1.86% for the Lipper A Rated Bond Funds Index.
• What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?
The Fund outperformed the Index over the past year as asset allocation and security selection within the Fund contributed significantly to performance.
Relative to the Index, the Fund was helped by its allocation to, and security selection within, corporate bonds. Within corporate bonds, the Fund benefited from investments in banking, life insurance, energy, airlines, metals and mining and healthcare. The Fund also benefited from investments in taxable municipal securities and asset-backed securities, many of which we purchased when the markets were disrupted due to COVID-19. An underweight to U.S. Treasury securities and 30-year agency residential mortgage-backed securities also benefited performance as these asset types had negative overall returns during the reporting period unlike most other asset types within the fixed income index. The Fund's holdings of agency commercial mortgage-backed securities and cash detracted slightly from performance. We continued to adhere to our disciplined investment approach, which is to maintain an attractive yield with an acceptable level of risk. From a credit risk perspective, our higher exposure relative to the Index in single-A, BBB, and high yield bonds contributed most to performance.
To identify attractive investment opportunities, we worked with our in-house team of credit analysts, continuing to build the portfolio bond-by-bond, through fundamental bottom-up analysis. We seek ideas where our fundamental understanding of the credit risk is different than the market. This approach, we believe, will generate total returns that may outperform our peers over the long run, with less volatility. Our credit analysts review all securities considered for purchase and assign their own independent credit rating. As always, they continuously monitor every holding in the Fund. We are committed to building a portfolio diversified among multiple asset classes and across many issuers. To minimize the Fund's exposure to potential surprises, we limit the positions we take in any one issuer.
Thank you for allowing us to assist you with your investment needs.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements July 31, 2021 |
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.
The Board of Trustees (the "Board") of USAA Mutual Funds Trust approved the addition of Class Z for the Fund. This new share class became effective February 5, 2021, but has not yet been funded. Class Z is only available to participants in certain eligible separately managed accounts (also referred to as wrap fee programs) and other advisory clients of Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or the "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 for an indefinite term.
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)
50
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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.
The Adviser has established the Pricing and Liquidity Committee (the "Committee"), and subject to the Trust's 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 are valued each business day by a pricing service approved by the Board. The approved pricing service uses the evaluated bid or the last sale price to value securities. Debt obligations maturing within 60 days may be valued at amortized cost, provided that the amortized cost represents the fair value of such securities. 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, investments are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of 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 July 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 year ended July 31, 2021, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 in the 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
51
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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.
Bank Loans:
The Fund may invest in loan interests and direct debt instruments, generally referred to as bank loans, which are interests in amounts owed by a corporate, governmental, or other borrower to lenders or lending syndicates (in the case of loans and loan participations), to suppliers of goods or services (in the case of trade claims or other receivables), or to other parties. These investments involve a risk of loss in case of the default, insolvency, or bankruptcy of the borrower.
52
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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.
Derivate 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 presented on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under Deposit with broker for futures contracts. As of July 31, 2021, the Fund did not hold any futures 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 discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis. Paydown gains or losses on applicable securities, if any, are recorded as components of Interest income on the Statement of Operations.
The Fund may receive other income from investments in loan assignments and/or unfunded commitments, including amendment fees, consent fees, and commitment fees. These fees are recorded as income when received. These amounts, if received, are included in Interest income on the Statement of Operations. Withholding taxes on interest, dividends and gains as a result of certain investments in ADRs by the Funds have been provided for in accordance with each investment's applicable country's tax rules and rates.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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 July 31, 2021.
Value of Securities on Loan | Non-Cash Collateral | Cash Collateral | |||||||||
$ | 31,866 | $ | — | $ | 32,994 |
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 investment securities 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 (losses) from investment securities and foreign currency translations on the Statement of Operations.
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
54
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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 an 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, printing fees, and 12b-1 fees), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets on the date income is earned or expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred.
Cross-Trade Transactions:
Pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act, the Fund may engage in cross-trades, which are securities transactions with affiliated investment companies and advisory accounts managed by the Adviser and any applicable sub-adviser. Any such purchase or sale transaction must be effected without brokerage commission or other remuneration, except for customary transfer fees. The transaction must be effected at the current market price, which is either the security's last sale price on an exchange or, if there are no transactions in the security that day, at the average of the highest bid and lowest asked price. For the year ended July 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):

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 an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Victory Capital Holdings, Inc., a publicly traded Delaware corporation, and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Victory Capital Operating, LLC.
Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive a base fee and a performance adjustment. The Fund's base fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.24% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the year ended July 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 A Rated Bond Funds Index. The Lipper A Rated Bond Funds Index tracks the total return performance of the largest funds 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) | ||||||
+/- 20 to 50 | +/- 4 | ||||||
+/- 51 to 100 | +/- 5 | ||||||
+/- 101 and greater | +/- 6 |
(a) Based on the difference between the average annual performance of the relevant share class of the Fund and its relevant Lipper index, rounded to the nearest basis point.
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 July 1, 2020, to July 31, 2021, performance fees were $(1,930), $(2,919), $(53), less than $(1), and $(12) for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, Class C, and R6 Shares in thousands, respectively. Performance adjustments were (0.06)%, (0.06)%, (0.07)%, (0.01)%, and (0.09)% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, Class C, and R6 Shares, respectively. The performance adjustment rate included in the investment advisory fee may differ from the maximum over/under Annual Adjustment Rate due to differences in average net assets for the reporting period and rolling 36 month performance periods.
56
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
The Trust relies on an exemptive order granted to VCM and its affiliated funds by the SEC in March 2019 permitting the use of a "manager-of-managers" structure for certain funds. Under a manager-of-managers structure, the investment adviser may select (with approval of the Board and without shareholder approval) one or more subadvisers to manage the day-to-day investment of a fund's assets. For the year ended July 31, 2021, the Fund had no subadvisers.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM serves as the Fund's administrator and fund accountant. Under the Fund Administration, Servicing and Accounting Agreement, VCM is paid an administration and servicing fee that is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.15%, 0.10%, 0.15%, 0.15%, and 0.05%, which is based on the Fund's average daily net assets of the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, Class C, and R6 Shares, respectively. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Administration fees.
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. ("Citi"), an affiliate of Citibank, acts as sub-administrator and sub-fund accountant to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Administration and Sub-Fund Accounting Services Agreement between VCM and Citi. VCM pays Citi a fee for providing these services. The Fund reimburses VCM and Citi for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing these services and certain other expenses specifically allocated to the Fund. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Sub-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.

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 for Institutional Shares, Class A, Class C, and R6 Shares, paid monthly based on a fee accrued daily at an annualized rate of 0.10%, 0.10%, 0.10%, and 0.01%, respectively, of average daily net assets, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the year ended July 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:

K&L Gates LLP provides legal services to the Trust.
The Adviser has entered into an expense limitation agreement with the Fund until at least June 30, 2023. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of the Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. Acquired fund fees and expenses, 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 July 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 the terms of the expense limitation agreement, amended May 1, 2021, 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 (thirty six (36) months) after 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. Prior to May 1, 2021, the Fund was permitted to recoup fees waived and expenses reimbursed for up to three years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement took place, subject to the limitations above. This change did not have any effect on the amounts previously reported for recoupment.
As of July 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 July 31, 2021.
Expires 2022 | Expires 2023 | Expires 2024 | Total | ||||||||||||

The Adviser may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Fund in maintaining competitive expense ratios. Voluntary waivers and reimbursements applicable to the Fund are not available to be recouped at a future time. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the year ended July 31, 2021.
Certain officers and/or interested trustees of the Fund are also officers and/or employees of the Adviser, administrator, fund accountant, sub-administrator, sub-fund accountant, custodian, and Distributor.
6. Risks:
The Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
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.
58
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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 issuer's 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 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:
The Victory Funds Complex participates in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 29, 2021, with a termination date of June 27, 2022. 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 Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended July 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. Prior to June 29, 2021, the Victory Funds Complex paid an annual commitment fee of 0.15% and an upfront fee of 0.10%. 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 year ended July 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 in the Victory Funds Complex that is permitted to participate in the Facility, 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 year ended July 31, 2021, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Borrower or Lender | Amount Outstanding at July 31, 2021 | Average Borrowing* | Days Borrowing Outstanding | Average Interest Rate* | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | ||||||||||||||||||
Borrower | $ | — | $ | 8,497 | 13 | 0.58 | % | $ | 22,423 | ||||||||||||||
Lender | — | 4,088 | 6 | 0.62 | % | 5,812 |
* For the year ended July 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

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
As of July 31, 2021, on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, reclassification adjustments were as follows (amounts in thousands):

As of July 31, 2021, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.
As of July 31, 2021, the cost basis for federal income tax purposes, gross unrealized appreciation, gross unrealized depreciation, and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for investments were as follows (amounts in thousands):

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA Income Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA Income Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of July 31, 2021, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust) at July 31, 2021, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian, agent banks and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers or agent banks were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more Victory Capital investment companies since 1995.

Proxy Voting:
Information regarding the policies and procedures the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling (800) 235-8396. 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 February 1, 2021, through July 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.

Liquidity Risk Management Program:
The USAA Mutual Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the "LRMP") as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration the Fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions; its short and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other liquidity management tools such as available funding sources including the Victory Funds Complex Interfund Lending Facility and Line of Credit (discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements). The USAA Mutual Fund's Board of Trustees approved the appointment of the Fund's investment adviser, Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital"), as the administrator of the LRMP.
Victory Capital manages liquidity risks associated with the Fund's investments by monitoring, among other things, cash and cash equivalents, any use of derivatives, the concentration of investments, the appropriateness of the Fund's investment strategy, and by classifying every Fund investment as either highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid, or illiquid on at least a monthly basis. To assist with the classification of Fund investments, Victory Capital has retained a third-party provider of liquidity evaluation services. This provider determines preliminary liquidity classifications for all portfolio holdings based upon portfolio-level data and certain assumptions provided by Victory Capital. Victory Capital reviews the preliminary liquidity classifications and, when appropriate, considers other information including input from the Fund's portfolio managers (including the portfolio managers employed by any investment sub-advisers) in determining final liquidity classifications.
At a meeting held on March 10, 2021, Victory Capital provided an oral and written report to the Trustees on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP during the previous year. The report from Victory Capital concluded that the Fund did not experience any significant liquidity challenges during the covered period, and the Fund's LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage its liquidity risk. The report also concluded that the LRMP continues to operate adequately and effectively to enable Victory Capital to oversee and manage liquidity risk and ensure the Fund is able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution to the remaining investors' interest in the Fund. During the review period, the Fund's portfolio consisted primarily of highly liquid investments, which are defined as cash and any investments that the Fund reasonably expects to be converted to cash in current market conditions in three business days or less without significantly changing the market value of the investment. Therefore, the Fund has not adopted a highly liquid investment minimum. The Fund's investments were below the limitation on illiquid investments during the review period. Additionally, Victory Capital indicated that no events occurred that would require the filing of Form N-LIQUID and recommended no material changes to the LRMP.

Dear Shareholder,
It's hard to believe that it was just last summer when we were still coming to grips with a global pandemic, hoping for an effective vaccine, and wondering whether the U.S. Federal Reserve's (the "Fed's") aggressive actions would continue to mollify financial markets. As it turns out, a vaccine was rolled out (domestically) faster than expectations, and a recovery that began during the second quarter of 2020 continued unabated.
Fast forward to today and investors are still a bit uneasy, but with a different set of worries. Financial assets have recovered, but the pandemic is still on the back of everyone's mind, and we are all wondering how a recent surge in COVID-19 cases will impact markets going forward. Today, CEOs are expressing concerns about labor shortages, disrupted supply chains, rising commodity prices, and the potential for lasting inflation. If anything, this merely exemplifies just how dynamic and unpredictable markets can be.
Nevertheless, we consider ourselves relatively fortunate despite the myriad challenges of the past year. For starters, we are thankful how quickly the various forms of monetary and fiscal stimulus contributed to a rebound in gross domestic product ("GDP"). It wasn't a straight line upward and there were bouts of elevated volatility in both bond and stock markets. Late in 2020, for example, financial markets were alternately fueled and roiled by a contentious election season, growing optimism for an effective vaccine, and a fluid debate regarding the need for even more stimulus. Ultimately, stocks were propelled higher in the fourth quarter of 2020 as it became clear Congress would provide another dose of stimulus in the form of direct payments, more unemployment insurance, and additional aid to businesses.
As we moved into 2021, stocks continued their upward trajectory. Meanwhile, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury rallied sharply as many investors began to shift their focus. Deflation was out; inflation was in. More recently, the calculus has shifted once again. This summer a new variant of the virus emerged, and investors began worrying about future economic growth. With those concerns volatility re-emerged and Treasury yields retreated. The ride continues.
So how did markets actually fare during our most recent annual reporting period? Through all the volatility and surprises, the S&P 500® Index registered impressive gains of nearly 35% for this 12-month period ended July 31, 2021. Not coincidentally, this broad market index has been hovering near its all-time high. Over this same annual period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 69 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of one percent), reflecting a very low starting rate, substantial fiscal stimulus, and the Fed's ongoing accommodative monetary policy. As the end of our reporting period approached, however, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury began trending lower, reflecting pandemic and growth concerns and finishing at 1.24% on July 31, 2021.
Where to from here? Our investment professionals continually monitor the environment and work hard to position portfolios opportunistically. There will no doubt be more challenges ahead, but we think it's important to reflect on the positives and remember our collective spirit and perseverance. Markets endured this past
2
year and even surprised to the upside, and investors who remained calm in the face of adversity and focused on their longer-term investment goals were likely rewarded. In our view, that always seems to be the best approach no matter what the markets throw at us.

Managers' Commentary
(Unaudited)
• What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
Unprecedented is a word that has been used quite a bit over the last year or so. Never in the history of the United States (and most, if not all, of the world for that matter) has most of the country's economy been put into a self-imposed shut down. The COVID-19 pandemic was the reason for this self-imposed shutdown, which led to unprecedented economic results. For example, at its low point, U.S. employment shrank by almost 21 million people in one month alone. The pre-COVID-19 unemployment rate jumped from a very low 3.5% to a high of 14.8%, all in a matter of two months. Similarly, real GDP saw a collapse of -31.2% in the second quarter of 2020. While these numbers are unprecedented, there was other human and economic damage that stemmed from the pandemic, including bankruptcies (both business and personal), deferred health care, and other human tragedies that are difficult, if not impossible, to measure.
Thankfully, the United States and the world are beginning to emerge from this unprecedented tragedy. Most states have lifted their lockdowns, and life has begun returning to normal. The economy started adding jobs in May 2020, but still remains about five million jobs short of the jobs that were lost during the pandemic, but we are seeing progress every month. Likewise, GDP jumped 33.8% in the third quarter of 2020, and has been relatively strong since. One result of returning to normal, however, has been a surge in inflation.
Higher inflation was a trigger that led to the recent increase in interest rates, causing the yield curve to steepen, especially in the one year and longer part of the Treasury curve, as the market began pricing in increases in the short term Federal Funds rate. The widely followed Consumer Price Index ("CPI") began showing the effects of the economy getting back to normal in March 2021, as CPI posted a 2.6% increase, and then a string of higher monthly numbers: 4.2%, 5%, 5.40%, and 5.40% from April through July 2021, respectively. While these rates are higher than they have been, this increase is likely transitory, as most of the increase has been in used car prices, gasoline, and rents, demand for which was suppressed during the pandemic. In fact, if we take the average monthly CPI from March 2020 through July 2021 (to account for lower CPI during the pandemic), the average is 2.1%, which is just slightly over the 2019 average monthly CPI of 1.82%.
Credit spreads spiked in March 2020 and hit their high point at 373 basis points ("bps"), but decreased relatively quickly during the year. They are now lower than pre-pandemic spreads: the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Investment Grade Corporate Index option adjusted spread was 93 bps at December 31, 2019, and ended July 2021 at 86 bps. Year over year by ratings, AAA, AA, A, and BBB spreads fell by 13, 29, 31, and 66 bps, respectively. High-yield spreads decreased by 195 bps. (Spreads generally are considered an indication of risk; the wider the spread, the greater the perceived risk.)
No doubt, the unprecedented stimulus from the federal and state governments, in the form of direct payments to consumers and businesses (funded by unprecedented borrowing), helped calm markets and allowed out of work employees to manage for a

time without a paycheck. Likewise, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") corporate bond buying programs and effectively zero short term interest rates helped the credit markets stay open. Many corporations took advantage of cheap funding and borrowed heavily to have adequate cash to help survive the lockdowns.
For its part, the Fed appears committed to an effectively zero Federal Funds rate for the near term, indicating no increases until 2023. Although Treasury rates have recently risen and the yield curve has steepened, rates remain below year end 2019 by 152 bps at the short end of the curve, 68 bps for the 10 year, and by 50 bps at the long end.
• How did the USAA Short-Term Bond Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?
The Fund has four share classes: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, and R6 Shares. For the reporting period ended July 31, 2021, the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, and R6 Shares had total returns of 3.60%, 3.68%, 3.38%, and 3.71%, respectively. This compares to returns of 1.07% for the Bloomberg 1-3 Year Credit Index (the "Index") and 2.13% for the Lipper Short Investment Grade Debt Funds Index.
• What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?
The Fund earned a positive total return during the reporting period and outperformed the Index, driven primarily by coupon income and the decline in credit spreads, offset to some extent by an increase in U.S. Treasury yields. Changes in the yield curve detracted from performance, as the fund is more laddered than the Index, where as allocation and selection added to performance. Reflecting the portfolio's diversification, the Fund's results were spread among a variety of sectors. Within corporate bonds, the Fund benefited from investments in airlines, consumer cyclical services, finance companies, aerospace and defense, and independent exploration & production. Certain other market segments weighed on relative performance, although they produced positive returns. These included U.S. Treasurys, cash, pharmaceuticals, integrated energy, and taxable municipal securities. We continued to adhere to our disciplined investment approach, which seeks to maintain an attractive yield with an acceptable level of risk. From a credit risk perspective, our higher exposure to BBB and high yield bonds outperformed, while higher rated investment-grade bonds posted lower returns relative to the portfolio returns as well as the Index.
To identify attractive investment opportunities, we worked with our in-house team of credit analysts, continuing to build the portfolio bond-by-bond, through fundamental bottom-up analysis. We seek ideas where our fundamental understanding of the credit risk is different than the market. This approach, we believe, will generate total returns that may outperform our peers over the long run, with less volatility. Our credit analysts review all securities considered for purchase and assign their own independent credit rating. As always, they continuously monitor every holding in the Fund. We are committed to building a portfolio diversified among multiple asset classes and across a large number of issuers. To minimize the Fund's exposure to potential surprises, we limit the positions we take in any one issuer.
Thank you for allowing us to assist you with your investment needs.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements July 31, 2021 |
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.
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.
46
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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 are valued each business day by a pricing service approved by the Board. The approved pricing service uses the evaluated bid or the last sale price to value securities. Debt obligations maturing within 60 days may be valued at amortized cost, provided that the amortized cost represents the fair value of such securities. 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, investments are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of 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 July 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 year ended July 31, 2021, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 in the 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
47
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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.
Bank Loans:
The Fund may invest in loan interests and direct debt instruments, generally referred to as bank loans, which are interests in amounts owed by a corporate, governmental, or other borrower to lenders or lending syndicates (in the case of loans and loan participations), to suppliers of goods or services (in the case of trade claims or other receivables), or to other parties. These investments involve a risk of loss in case of the default, insolvency, or bankruptcy of the borrower.
48
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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 presented on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under Deposit with broker for futures contracts. As of July 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.
Summary of Derivative Instruments:

The following table presents the effect of derivative instruments on the Statement of Operations, categorized by risk exposure, for the year ended July 31, 2021 (amounts in thousands):

Interest Rate Risk Exposure | $ | (197 | ) | $ | (162 | ) |
All open derivative positions at year end are reflected on the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The underlying face value of open derivative positions relative to the Fund's net assets at year end is generally representative of the notional amount of open positions to net assets throughout the year.
Investment Transactions and Related Income:
Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis. Paydown gains or losses on applicable securities, if any, are recorded as components of Interest income on the Statement of Operations.
The Fund may receive other income from investments in loan assignments and/or unfunded commitments, including amendment fees, consent fees, and commitment fees. These fees are recorded as income when received. These amounts, if received, are included in Interest income on the Statement of Operations. Withholding taxes on interest, dividends and gains as a result of certain investments in ADRs by the Funds 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 July 31, 2021.

$ | 37,865 | $ | — | $ | 39,135 |
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 investment securities 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 (losses) from investment securities 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 an 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, printing fees, and 12b-1 fees), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets on the date income is earned or expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred.

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

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 an indirect wholly owned 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 year ended July 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 the largest funds within the Lipper Short Investment Grade Debt Funds category.
The performance period for each share class consists of the current month plus the previous 35 months (or the number of months beginning July 1, 2019, if fewer). The following table is utilized to determine the extent of the performance adjustment:
Over/Under Performance Relative to Index (in basis points)(a) | Annual Adjustment Rate (in basis points) | ||||||
+/- 20 to 50 | +/- 4 | ||||||
+/- 51 to 100 | +/- 5 | ||||||
+/- 101 and greater | +/- 6 |
(a) Based on the difference between the average annual performance of the relevant share class of the Fund and its relevant Lipper index, rounded to the nearest basis point.
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 July 1, 2020, to July 31, 2021, performance fees were $317, $620, $1, and $3 for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, and R6 Shares, in thousands, respectively. Performance adjustments were 0.03%, 0.03%, less than 0.01%, and 0.03% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, and R6 Shares, respectively. The performance adjustment rate included in the investment advisory fee may differ from the maximum over/under Annual Adjustment Rate due to differences in average net assets for the reporting period and rolling 36 month performance periods.
The Trust relies on an exemptive order granted to VCM and its affiliated funds by the SEC in March 2019 permitting the use of a "manager-of-managers" structure for certain funds. Under a manager-of-managers structure, the investment adviser may select (with approval of the Board and without shareholder approval) one or more subadvisers to manage the day-to-day investment of a fund's assets. For the year ended July 31, 2021, the Fund had no subadvisers.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM serves as the Fund's administrator and fund accountant. Under the Fund Administration, Servicing and Accounting Agreement, VCM is paid for its services an annual fee at a rate of 0.15%, 0.10%, 0.15%, and 0.05%, which is based on the Fund's average daily net assets of the Fund Shares, Institutional

Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. ("Citi"), an affiliate of Citibank, acts as sub-administrator and sub-fund accountant to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Administration and Sub-Fund Accounting Services Agreement between VCM and Citi. VCM pays Citi a fee for providing these services. The Fund reimburses VCM and Citi for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing these services and certain other expenses specifically allocated to the Fund. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Sub-Administration fees.
The Fund (as part of the Trust) has entered into an agreement to provide compliance services with the Adviser, pursuant to which the Adviser furnishes its compliance personnel, including the services of the Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO"), and other resources reasonably necessary to provide the Trust with compliance oversight services related to the design, administration, and oversight of a compliance program for the Trust in accordance with Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The CCO is an employee of the Adviser, which pays the compensation of the CCO and support staff. Funds in the Trust, Victory Variable Insurance Funds, Victory Portfolios, and Victory Portfolios II (collectively, the "Victory Funds Complex") in the aggregate, compensate the Adviser for these services. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Compliance 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 for Institutional Shares, Class A, and R6 Shares are paid monthly based on a fee accrued daily at an annualized rate of 0.10%, 0.10%, and 0.01%, respectively, of average daily net assets, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the year ended July 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 the Distributor for the year ended July 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 year ended July 31, 2021, the Distributor received approximately $3 thousand from commissions earned on sales of Class A.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
The Adviser has entered into an expense limitation agreement with the Fund until at least June 30, 2023. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of the Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. Acquired fund fees and expenses, 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 July 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 the terms of the expense limitation agreement, amended May 1, 2021, 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 (thirty six (36) months) after 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. Prior to May 1, 2021, the Fund was permitted to recoup fees waived and expenses reimbursed for up to three years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement took place, subject to the limitations above. This change did not have any effect on the amounts previously reported for recoupment.
As of July 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 July 31, 2021.
Expires 2022 | Expires 2023 | Expires 2024 | Total | ||||||||||||
$ | 6 | $ | 6 | $ | 37 | $ | 49 |
The Adviser may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Fund in maintaining competitive expense ratios. Voluntary waivers and reimbursements applicable to the Fund are not available to be recouped at a future time. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the year ended July 31, 2021.
Certain officers and/or interested trustees of the Fund are also officers and/or employees of the Adviser, administrator, fund accountant, sub-administrator, sub-fund accountant, custodian, and Distributor.
6. Risks:
The Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
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 issuer's 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.
55
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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 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:
The Victory Funds Complex participates in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 29, 2021, with a termination date of June 27, 2022. 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
56
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
Funds Complex, with Victory Floating Rate Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended July 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. Prior to June 29, 2021, the Victory Funds Complex paid an annual commitment fee of 0.15% and an upfront fee of 0.10%. 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 year ended July 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 in the Victory Funds Complex that is permitted to participate in the Facility, 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 year ended July 31, 2021, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Borrower or Lender | Amount Outstanding at July 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 year ended July 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.
As of July 31, 2021, on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, reclassification adjustments were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Total Accumulated Earnings/(Loss) | Capital | ||||||

* The difference between the book-basis and tax-basis of unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, futures, and hybrid accruals interest purchased.
As of July 31, 2021, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.
As of July 31, 2021, the cost basis for federal income tax purposes, gross unrealized appreciation, gross unrealized depreciation, and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for investments were as follows (amounts in thousands):

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA Short-Term Bond Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA Short-Term Bond Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of July 31, 2021, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust) at July 31, 2021, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian, agent banks and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers or agent banks were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more Victory Capital investment companies since 1995.

The following tables list the Trustees, their ages, position with the Trust, commencement of service, principal occupations during the past five years and any directorships of other investment companies or companies whose securities are registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or who file reports under that Act.

The Board may change or grant exceptions from this policy at any time without shareholder approval. A Trustee may resign or be removed by a vote of the other Trustees or the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Trust at any time. Vacancies on the Board can be filled by the action of a majority of the Trustees, provided that after filling such vacancy at least two-thirds of the Trustees have been elected by the shareholders.

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) 235-8396. 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 February 1, 2021, through July 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 2/1/21 | Actual Ending Account Value 7/31/21 | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 7/31/21 | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 2/1/21- 7/31/21* | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 2/1/21- 7/31/21* | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 2/1/21- 7/31/21 | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Liquidity Risk Management Program:
The USAA Mutual Funds Trust have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the "LRMP") as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration the Fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions; its short and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other liquidity management tools such as available funding sources including the Victory Funds Complex Interfund Lending Facility and Line of Credit (discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements). The USAA Mutual Fund's Board of Trustees approved the appointment of the Fund's investment adviser, Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital"), as the administrator of the LRMP.
Victory Capital manages liquidity risks associated with the Fund's investments by monitoring, among other things, cash and cash equivalents, any use of derivatives, the concentration of investments, the appropriateness of the Fund's investment strategy, and by classifying every Fund investment as either highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid, or illiquid on at least a monthly basis. To assist with the classification of Fund investments, Victory Capital has retained a third-party provider of liquidity evaluation services. This provider determines preliminary liquidity classifications for all portfolio holdings based upon portfolio-level data and certain assumptions provided by Victory Capital. Victory Capital reviews the preliminary liquidity classifications and, when appropriate, considers other information including input from the Fund's portfolio managers (including the portfolio managers employed by any investment sub-advisers) in determining final liquidity classifications.
At a meeting held on March 10, 2021, Victory Capital provided an oral and written report to the Trustees on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP during the previous year. The report from Victory Capital concluded that the Fund did not experience any significant liquidity challenges during the covered period, and the Fund's LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage its liquidity risk. The report also concluded that the LRMP continues to operate adequately and effectively to enable Victory Capital to oversee and manage liquidity risk and ensure the Fund is able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution to the remaining investors' interest in the Fund. During the review period, the Fund's portfolio consisted primarily of highly liquid investments, which are defined as cash and any investments that the Fund reasonably expects to be converted to cash in current market conditions in three business days or less without significantly changing the market value of the investment. Therefore, the Fund has not adopted a highly liquid investment minimum. The Fund's investments were below the limitation on illiquid investments during the review period. Additionally, Victory Capital indicated that no events occurred that would require the filing of Form N-LIQUID and recommended no material changes to the LRMP.

Dear Shareholder,
It's hard to believe that it was just last summer when we were still coming to grips with a global pandemic, hoping for an effective vaccine, and wondering whether the U.S. Federal Reserve's (the "Fed's") aggressive actions would continue to mollify financial markets. As it turns out, a vaccine was rolled out (domestically) faster than expectations, and a recovery that began during the second quarter of 2020 continued unabated.
Fast forward to today and investors are still a bit uneasy, but with a different set of worries. Financial assets have recovered, but the pandemic is still on the back of everyone's mind, and we are all wondering how a recent surge in COVID-19 cases will impact markets going forward. Today, CEOs are expressing concerns about labor shortages, disrupted supply chains, rising commodity prices, and the potential for lasting inflation. If anything, this merely exemplifies just how dynamic and unpredictable markets can be.
Nevertheless, we consider ourselves relatively fortunate despite the myriad challenges of the past year. For starters, we are thankful how quickly the various forms of monetary and fiscal stimulus contributed to a rebound in gross domestic product ("GDP"). It wasn't a straight line upward and there were bouts of elevated volatility in both bond and stock markets. Late in 2020, for example, financial markets were alternately fueled and roiled by a contentious election season, growing optimism for an effective vaccine, and a fluid debate regarding the need for even more stimulus. Ultimately, stocks were propelled higher in the fourth quarter of 2020 as it became clear Congress would provide another dose of stimulus in the form of direct payments, more unemployment insurance, and additional aid to businesses.
As we moved into 2021, stocks continued their upward trajectory. Meanwhile, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury rallied sharply as many investors began to shift their focus. Deflation was out; inflation was in. More recently, the calculus has shifted once again. This summer a new variant of the virus emerged, and investors began worrying about future economic growth. With those concerns volatility re-emerged and Treasury yields retreated. The ride continues.
So how did markets actually fare during our most recent annual reporting period? Through all the volatility and surprises, the S&P 500® Index registered impressive gains of nearly 35% for this 12-month period ended July 31, 2021. Not coincidentally, this broad market index has been hovering near its all-time high. Over this same annual period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 69 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of one percent), reflecting a very low starting rate, substantial fiscal stimulus, and the Fed's ongoing accommodative monetary policy. As the end of our reporting period approached, however, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury began trending lower, reflecting pandemic and growth concerns and finishing at 1.24% on July 31, 2021.
Where to from here? Our investment professionals continually monitor the environment and work hard to position portfolios opportunistically. There will no doubt be more challenges ahead, but we think it's important to reflect on the positives and remember our collective spirit and perseverance. Markets endured this past
2
year and even surprised to the upside, and investors who remained calm in the face of adversity and focused on their longer-term investment goals were likely rewarded. In our view, that always seems to be the best approach no matter what the markets throw at us.
On the following pages, you will find information relating to your USAA Mutual Funds, brought to you by Victory Capital. If you have any questions regarding the current market dynamics or your specific portfolio or investment plan, we encourage you to contact our Member Service Representatives. Call (800) 235-8396 or visit our website at www.vcm.com.
From all of us here at Victory Capital, thank you for letting us help you work toward your investment goals.

Managers' Commentary
(Unaudited)
• What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
Unprecedented is a word that has been used quite a bit over the last year or so. Never in the history of the United States (and most, if not all, of the world for that matter) has most of the country's economy been put into a self-imposed shut down. The COVID-19 pandemic was the reason for this self-imposed shutdown, which led to unprecedented economic results. For example, at its low point, U.S. employment shrank by almost 21 million people in one month alone. The pre-COVID-19 unemployment rate jumped from a very low 3.5% to a high of 14.8%, all in a matter of two months. Similarly, real GDP saw a collapse of –31.2% in the second quarter of 2020. While these numbers are unprecedented, there was other human and economic damage that stemmed from the pandemic, including bankruptcies (both business and personal), deferred health care, and other human tragedies that are difficult, if not impossible, to measure.
Thankfully, the United States and the world are beginning to emerge from this unprecedented tragedy. Most states have lifted their lockdowns, and life has begun returning to normal. The economy started adding jobs in May 2020, but still remains about five million jobs short of the jobs that were lost during the pandemic, but we are seeing progress every month. Likewise, GDP jumped 33.8% in the third quarter of 2020, and has been relatively strong since. One result of returning to normal, however, has been a surge in inflation.
Higher inflation was a trigger that led to the recent increase in interest rates, causing the yield curve to steepen, especially in the one year and longer part of the Treasury curve, as the market began pricing in increases in the short term Federal Funds rate. The widely followed Consumer Price Index ("CPI") began showing the effects of the economy getting back to normal in March 2021, as CPI posted a 2.6% increase, and then a string of higher monthly numbers: 4.2%, 5%, 5.40%, and 5.40% from April through July 2021, respectively. While these rates are higher than they have been, this increase is likely transitory, as most of the increase has been in used car prices, gasoline, and rents, demand for which was suppressed during the pandemic. In fact, if we take the average monthly CPI from March 2020 through July 2021 (to account for lower CPI during the pandemic), the average is 2.1%, which is just slightly over the 2019 average monthly CPI of 1.82%.
Credit spreads spiked in March 2020 and hit their high point at 373 basis points (bps), but decreased relatively quickly during the year. They are now lower than pre-pandemic spreads: the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Investment Grade Corporate Index option adjusted spread was 93 bps at December 31, 2019, and ended July 2021 at 86 bps. Year over year by ratings, AAA, AA, A, and BBB spreads fell by 13, 29, 31, and 66 bps, respectively. High-yield spreads decreased by 195 bps. (Spreads generally are considered an indication of risk; the wider the spread, the greater the perceived risk.)
No doubt, the unprecedented stimulus from the federal and state governments, in the form of direct payments to consumers and businesses (funded by unprecedented

borrowing), helped calm markets and allowed out of work employees to manage for a time without a paycheck. Likewise, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") corporate bond buying programs and effectively zero short term interest rates helped the credit markets stay open. Many corporations took advantage of cheap funding and borrowed heavily to have adequate cash to help survive the lockdowns.
For its part, the Fed appears committed to an effectively zero Federal Funds rate for the near term, indicating no increases until 2023. Although Treasury rates have recently risen and the yield curve has steepened, rates remain below year end 2019 by 152 bps at the short end of the curve, 68 bps for the 10 year, and by 50 bps at the long end.
• How did the USAA Intermediate-Term Bond Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?
The Fund has five share classes: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, Class C, and R6 Shares. For the reporting period ended July 31, 2021, the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, Class C, and R6 Shares had total returns of 4.83%, 4.80%, 4.55%, 3.90%, and 4.97%, respectively. This compares to returns of –0.70% for the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the "Index") and 2.36% for the Lipper Core Plus Bond Funds Index.
• What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?
The Fund produced a positive total return during the reporting period ended July 31, 2021, and outperformed the Index, which had negative returns, as bond spreads considerably tightened. Relative to the Index, the Fund was helped slightly by its allocation to and, to a greater extent, our issue selection of corporate bonds, bank loans and commercial mortgage-backed securities, as well as security selection amongst other spread-based asset-backed securities. The Fund benefitted from allocations to independent energy producers, airlines, single-asset/single-borrower commercial mortgage-backed securities, consumer products and midstream companies. Bond selection, especially within aerospace and defense, banking, consumer products, food and beverage, and leisure also added to relative returns. An underweight position in U.S. Treasury securities and agency mortgage-backed securities, which generated lower returns than the Index, benefitted relative performance. Finally, our income orientation contributed positively to results. Over time, the income generated by the Fund accounts for the majority of its long-term return. As of July 31, 2021, the Fund's SEC yield was 1.68%. This compares to an SEC yield of 2.63% on July 31, 2020.
In keeping with our investment process, we continued to build the portfolio bond by bond. We seek ideas where our fundamental understanding of the credit risk is different than that of the market, working with our team of analysts to evaluate each potential investment individually. During the reporting period, we found select attractive opportunities as we continued to seek relative values across the fixed income market. We took advantage of periods of volatility to add or reduce select investments in corporate

credit, commercial mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and taxable municipals. As spreads decreased over the course of the year we reduced exposure to spread products by increasing our holdings in US Treasury securities.
Our analysts continued to analyze and monitor every holding in the portfolio. We are committed to building a portfolio diversified among multiple asset classes and across a large number of issuers. To minimize the Fund's exposure to potential surprises, we limit the positions we take in any one issuer.
Thank you for allowing us to assist you with your investment needs.

The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. To obtain performance information current to the most recent month's end, please visit www.vcm.com.
The maximum offering price ("MOP") figures reflect a maximum sales charge of 2.25% for Class A. Class C is not subject to an initial sales charge, but is subject to a deferred sales charge of 1.00% on shares redeemed within one year of purchase. Net Asset Value does not reflect sales charges.
Total return measures the price change in a share assuming the reinvestment of all net investment income and realized capital gain distributions, if any. The total returns quoted do not reflect adjustments made to the enclosed financial statements in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles or the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on net investment income and realized capital gain distributions, including reinvested distributions, or redemptions of shares. The total return figures set forth above include all waivers of fees. Without such fee waivers, the total returns would have been lower.
USAA Intermediate-Term Bond Fund — Growth of $10,000
1The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index covers the U.S. investment-grade rated bond market, including government and credit securities, agency mortgage pass-through securities, asset-backed securities, and commercial mortgage-backed securities that have remaining maturities of more than one year. This index does not include the effect of sales charges, commissions, expenses, or taxes, is not representative of the Fund, and it is not possible to invest directly in an index. As of August 24, 2021, Bloomberg rebranded the Bloomberg Barclays fixed income indices as "Bloomberg Indices."
2The Lipper Core Plus Bond Funds Index measures performance of funds primarily invested in domestic investment-grade debt issues (rated in the top four grades), with any remaining investment in non-benchmark sectors such as high-yield, global and emerging market, and with dollar-weighted average maturities of five to ten years. This index does not include the effect of sales charges, commissions, expenses, or taxes, is not representative of the Fund, and it is not possible to invest directly in an index.
The graph reflects investment of growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund.
The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of shares.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements July 31, 2021 |
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.
46
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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 are valued each business day by a pricing service approved by the Board. The approved pricing service uses the evaluated bid or the last sale price to value securities. Debt obligations maturing within 60 days may be valued at amortized cost, provided that the amortized cost represents the fair value of such securities. 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, investments are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of 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 July 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):

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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.
48
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
Bank Loans:
The Fund may invest in loan interests and direct debt instruments, generally referred to as bank loans, which are interests in amounts owed by a corporate, governmental, or other borrower to lenders or lending syndicates (in the case of loans and loan participations), to suppliers of goods or services (in the case of trade claims or other receivables), or to other parties. These investments involve a risk of loss in case of the default, insolvency, or bankruptcy of the borrower.
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 presented on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under Deposit with broker for futures contracts. As of July 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.

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 discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis. Paydown gains or losses on applicable securities, if any, are recorded as components of Interest income on the Statement of Operations.
The Fund may receive other income from investments in loan assignments and/or unfunded commitments, including amendment fees, consent fees, and commitment fees. These fees are recorded as income when received. These amounts, if received, are included in Interest income on the Statement of Operations.
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
50
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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 July 31, 2021.
Value of Securities on Loan | Non-Cash Collateral | Cash Collateral | |||||||||
$ | 7,110 | $ | — | $ | 7,325 |
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 investment securities 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 (losses) from investment securities and foreign currency translations on the Statement of Operations.
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 an 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, printing fees, and 12b-1 fees), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are
51
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets on the date income is earned or expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred.
Cross-Trade Transactions:
Pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act, the Fund may engage in cross-trades, which are securities transactions with affiliated investment companies and advisory accounts managed by the Adviser and any applicable sub-adviser. Any such purchase or sale transaction must be effected without brokerage commission or other remuneration, except for customary transfer fees. The transaction must be effected at the current market price, which is either the security's last sale price on an exchange or, if there are no transactions in the security that day, at the average of the highest bid and lowest asked price. For the year ended July 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):

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 an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Victory Capital Holdings, Inc., a publicly traded Delaware corporation, and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Victory Capital Operating, LLC.
52
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the year ended July 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 Core Plus Bond Funds Index. The Lipper Core Plus Bond Funds Index tracks the total return performance of the largest funds 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) | ||||||
+/- 20 to 50 | +/- 4 | ||||||
+/- 51 to 100 | +/- 5 | ||||||
+/- 101 and greater | +/- 6 |
(a) Based on the difference between the average annual performance of the relevant share class of the Fund and its relevant Lipper index, rounded to the nearest basis point.
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 July 1, 2020, to July 31, 2021, performance fees were $1,043, $969, $19, less than $1, and $12 for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, Class C, and R6 Shares in thousands, respectively. Performance adjustments were 0.05%, 0.05%, 0.04%, less than 0.01%, and 0.03% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, Class C, and R6 Shares, respectively. The performance adjustment rate included in the investment advisory fee may differ from the maximum over/under Annual Adjustment Rate due to differences in average net assets for the reporting period and rolling 36 month performance periods.
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
53
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
shareholder approval) one or more subadvisers to manage the day-to-day investment of a fund's assets. For the year ended July 31, 2021, the Fund had no subadvisers.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM serves as the Fund's administrator and fund accountant. Under the Fund Administration, Servicing and Accounting Agreement, VCM is paid an administration and servicing fee that is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.15%, 0.10%, 0.15%, 0.15%, and 0.05%, which is based on the Fund's average daily net assets of the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, Class C, and R6 Shares, respectively. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Administration fees.
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. ("Citi"), an affiliate of Citibank, acts as sub-administrator and sub-fund accountant to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Administration and Sub-Fund Accounting Services Agreement between VCM and Citi. VCM pays Citi a fee for providing these services. The Fund reimburses VCM and Citi for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing these services and certain other expenses specifically allocated to the Fund. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Sub-Administration fees.
The Fund (as part of the Trust) has entered into an agreement to provide compliance services with the Adviser, pursuant to which the Adviser furnishes its compliance personnel, including the services of the Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO"), and other resources reasonably necessary to provide the Trust with compliance oversight services related to the design, administration, and oversight of a compliance program for the Trust in accordance with Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The CCO is an employee of the Adviser, which pays the compensation of the CCO and support staff. Funds in the Trust, Victory Variable Insurance Funds, Victory Portfolios, and Victory Portfolios II (collectively, the "Victory Funds Complex") in the aggregate, compensate the Adviser for these services. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Compliance 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 for Institutional Shares, Class A, Class C, and R6 Shares are paid monthly based on a fee accrued daily at an annualized rate of 0.10%, 0.10%, 0.10%, and 0.01%, respectively, of average daily net assets, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the year ended July 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 and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C. 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 the Distributor for the year ended July 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as 12b-1 fees.
54
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
In addition, the Distributor is entitled to receive commissions on sales of Class A. For the year ended July 31, 2021, the Distributor received approximately $2 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 year ended July 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 June 30, 2023. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of the Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. Acquired fund fees and expenses, 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 July 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 the terms of the expense limitation agreement, amended May 1, 2021, 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 (thirty six (36) months) after 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. Prior to May 1, 2021, the Fund was permitted to recoup fees waived and expenses reimbursed for up to three years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement took place, subject to the limitations above. This change did not have any effect on the amounts previously reported for recoupment.
As of July 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 July 31, 2021.
Expires 2022 | Expires 2023 | Expires 2024 | Total | ||||||||||||
$ | 4 | $ | 200 | $ | 280 | $ | 484 |
The Adviser may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Fund in maintaining competitive expense ratios. Voluntary waivers and reimbursements applicable to the Fund are not available to be recouped at a future time. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the year ended July 31, 2021.
Certain officers and/or interested trustees of the Fund are also officers and/or employees of the Adviser, administrator, fund accountant, sub-administrator, sub-fund accountant, custodian, and Distributor.
6. Risks:
The Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
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 issuer's ability to timely meet its debt obligations as they come due.
55
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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 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
56
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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:
The Victory Funds Complex participates in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 29, 2021, with a termination date of June 27, 2022. 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 Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended July 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. Prior to June 29, 2021, the Victory Funds Complex paid an annual commitment fee of 0.15% and an upfront fee of 0.10%. 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 year ended July 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 in the Victory Funds Complex that is permitted to participate in the Facility, 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 year ended July 31, 2021, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Borrower or Lender | Amount Outstanding at July 31, 2021 | Average Borrowing* | Days Borrowing Outstanding | Average Interest Rate* | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Borrower | $ | — | $ | 8,515 | 12 | 0.61 | % | $ | 21,920 |
* For the year ended July 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.
57
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
As of July 31, 2021, on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, reclassification adjustments were as follows (amounts in thousands):

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA Intermediate-Term Bond Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA Intermediate-Term Bond Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of July 31, 2021, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust) at July 31, 2021, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian, agent banks and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers or agent banks were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more Victory Capital investment companies since 1995.

Proxy Voting 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) 235-8396. 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 February 1, 2021, through July 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 2/1/21 | Actual Ending Account Value 7/31/21 | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 7/31/21 | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 2/1/21- 7/31/21* | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 2/1/21- 7/31/21* | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 2/1/21- 7/31/21 | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Liquidity Risk Management Program:
The USAA Mutual Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the "LRMP") as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration the Fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions; its short and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other liquidity management tools such as available funding sources including the Victory Funds Complex Interfund Lending Facility and Line of Credit (discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements). The USAA Mutual Fund's Board of Trustees approved the appointment of the Fund's investment adviser, Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital"), as the administrator of the LRMP.
Victory Capital manages liquidity risks associated with the Fund's investments by monitoring, among other things, cash and cash equivalents, any use of derivatives, the concentration of investments, the appropriateness of the Fund's investment strategy, and by classifying every Fund investment as either highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid, or illiquid on at least a monthly basis. To assist with the classification of Fund investments, Victory Capital has retained a third-party provider of liquidity evaluation services. This provider determines preliminary liquidity classifications for all portfolio holdings based upon portfolio-level data and certain assumptions provided by Victory Capital. Victory Capital reviews the preliminary liquidity classifications and, when appropriate, considers other information including input from the Fund's portfolio managers (including the portfolio managers employed by any investment sub-advisers) in determining final liquidity classifications.
At a meeting held on March 10, 2021, Victory Capital provided an oral and written report to the Trustees on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP during the previous year. The report from Victory Capital concluded that the Fund did not experience any significant liquidity challenges during the covered period, and the Fund's LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage its liquidity risk. The report also concluded that the LRMP continues to operate adequately and effectively to enable Victory Capital to oversee and manage liquidity risk and ensure the Fund is able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution to the remaining investors' interest in the Fund. During the review period, the Fund's portfolio consisted primarily of highly liquid investments, which are defined as cash and any investments that the Fund reasonably expects to be converted to cash in current market conditions in three business days or less without significantly changing the market value of the investment. Therefore, the Fund has not adopted a highly liquid investment minimum. The Fund's investments were below the limitation on illiquid investments during the review period. Additionally, Victory Capital indicated that no events occurred that would require the filing of Form N-LIQUID and recommended no material changes to the LRMP.

IRA DISTRIBUTION WITHHOLDING DISCLOSURE
We generally must withhold federal income tax at a rate of 10% of the taxable portion of your distribution and, if you live in a state that requires state income tax withholding, at your state's tax rate. However, you may elect not to have withholding apply or to have income tax withheld at a higher rate. Any withholding election that you make will apply to any subsequent distribution unless and until you change or revoke the election. If you wish to make a withholding election, or change or revoke a prior withholding election, call (800) 235-8396, 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.

Dear Shareholder,
It's hard to believe that it was just last summer when we were still coming to grips with a global pandemic, hoping for an effective vaccine, and wondering whether the U.S. Federal Reserve's (the "Fed's") aggressive actions would continue to mollify financial markets. As it turns out, a vaccine was rolled out (domestically) faster than expectations, and a recovery that began during the second quarter of 2020 continued unabated.
Fast forward to today and investors are still a bit uneasy, but with a different set of worries. Financial assets have recovered, but the pandemic is still on the back of everyone's mind, and we are all wondering how a recent surge in COVID-19 cases will impact markets going forward. Today, CEOs are expressing concerns about labor shortages, disrupted supply chains, rising commodity prices, and the potential for lasting inflation. If anything, this merely exemplifies just how dynamic and unpredictable markets can be.
Nevertheless, we consider ourselves relatively fortunate despite the myriad challenges of the past year. For starters, we are thankful how quickly the various forms of monetary and fiscal stimulus contributed to a rebound in gross domestic product ("GDP"). It wasn't a straight line upward and there were bouts of elevated volatility in both bond and stock markets. Late in 2020, for example, financial markets were alternately fueled and roiled by a contentious election season, growing optimism for an effective vaccine, and a fluid debate regarding the need for even more stimulus. Ultimately, stocks were propelled higher in the fourth quarter of 2020 as it became clear Congress would provide another dose of stimulus in the form of direct payments, more unemployment insurance, and additional aid to businesses.
As we moved into 2021, stocks continued their upward trajectory. Meanwhile, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury rallied sharply as many investors began to shift their focus. Deflation was out; inflation was in. More recently, the calculus has shifted once again. This summer a new variant of the virus emerged, and investors began worrying about future economic growth. With those concerns volatility re-emerged and Treasury yields retreated. The ride continues.
So how did markets actually fare during our most recent annual reporting period? Through all the volatility and surprises, the S&P 500® Index registered impressive gains of nearly 35% for this 12-month period ended July 31, 2021. Not coincidentally, this broad market index has been hovering near its all-time high. Over this same annual period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 69 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of one percent), reflecting a very low starting rate, substantial fiscal stimulus, and the Fed's ongoing accommodative monetary policy. As the end of our reporting period approached, however, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury began trending lower, reflecting pandemic and growth concerns and finishing at 1.24% on July 31, 2021.
Where to from here? Our investment professionals continually monitor the environment and work hard to position portfolios opportunistically. There will no doubt be more challenges ahead, but we think it's important to reflect on the positives and remember our collective spirit and perseverance. Markets endured this past
2
year and even surprised to the upside, and investors who remained calm in the face of adversity and focused on their longer-term investment goals were likely rewarded. In our view, that always seems to be the best approach no matter what the markets throw at us.

Managers' Commentary

• What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
Unprecedented is a word that has been used quite a bit over the last year or so. Never in the history of the United States (and most, if not all, of the world for that matter) has most of the country's economy been put into a self-imposed shut down. The COVID-19 pandemic was the reason for this self-imposed shutdown, which led to unprecedented economic results. For example, at its low point, U.S. employment shrank by almost 21 million people in one month alone. The pre-COVID-19 unemployment rate jumped from a very low 3.5% to a high of 14.8%, all in a matter of two months. Similarly, real GDP saw a collapse of -31.2% in the second quarter of 2020. While these numbers are unprecedented, there was other human and economic damage that stemmed from the pandemic, including bankruptcies (both business and personal), deferred health care, and other human tragedies that are difficult, if not impossible, to measure.
Thankfully, the United States and the world are beginning to emerge from this unprecedented tragedy. Most states have lifted their lockdowns, and life has begun returning to normal. The economy started adding jobs in May 2020, but still remains about five million jobs short of the jobs that were lost during the pandemic, but we are seeing progress every month. Likewise, GDP jumped 33.8% in the third quarter of 2020, and has been relatively strong since. One result of returning to normal, however, has been a surge in inflation.
Higher inflation was a trigger that led to the recent increase in interest rates, causing the yield curve to steepen, especially in the one year and longer part of the Treasury curve, as the market began pricing in increases in the short term Federal Funds rate. The widely followed Consumer Price Index ("CPI") began showing the effects of the economy getting back to normal in March 2021, as CPI posted a 2.6% increase, and then a string of higher monthly numbers: 4.2%, 5%, 5.40%, and 5.40% from April through July 2021, respectively. While these rates are higher than they have been, this increase is likely transitory, as most of the increase has been in used car prices, gasoline, and rents, demand for which was suppressed during the pandemic. In fact, if we take the average monthly CPI from March 2020 through July 2021 (to account for lower CPI during the pandemic), the average is 2.1%, which is just slightly over the 2019 average monthly CPI of 1.82%.
Credit spreads spiked in March 2020 and hit their high point at 373 basis points ("bps"), but decreased relatively quickly during the year. They are now lower than pre-pandemic spreads: the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Investment Grade Corporate Index option adjusted spread was 93 bps at December 31, 2019, and ended July 2021 at 86 bps. Year over year by ratings, AAA, AA, A, and BBB spreads fell by 13, 29, 31, and 66 bps, respectively. High-yield spreads decreased by 195 bps. (Spreads generally are considered an indication of risk; the wider the spread, the greater the perceived risk.)

Managers' Commentary (continued)
No doubt, the unprecedented stimulus from the federal and state governments, in the form of direct payments to consumers and businesses (funded by unprecedented borrowing), helped calm markets and allowed out of work employees to manage for a time without a paycheck. Likewise, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") corporate bond buying programs and effectively zero short term interest rates helped the credit markets stay open. Many corporations took advantage of cheap funding and borrowed heavily to have adequate cash to help survive the lockdowns.
For its part, the Fed appears committed to an effectively zero Federal Funds rate for the near term, indicating no increases until 2023. Although Treasury rates have recently risen and the yield curve has steepened, rates remain below year end 2019 by 152 bps at the short end of the curve, 68 bps for the 10 year, and by 50 bps at the long end.
High-yield credit spreads tightened for the reporting period. Credit spreads based on the Bloomberg U.S. High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index began the period at 490 bps, then tightened to 194 bps in response to COVID-19, and ended the reporting period at 296 bps due to a better economic outlook as the economy reopened after the COVID-19 shutdown. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) Higher-rated BB bonds had the strongest returns for the period, followed by single B-rated bonds and then lower-rated CCC bonds.
Historically, high-yield securities tend to perform between stocks and high- quality bonds, generally with less volatility, which can potentially provide long-term investors with a significant diversification advantage. The high-yield asset class performed as expected during the reporting period, the S&P 500® Index produced a return of almost 37%, while the total return for intermediate-term U.S. Treasurys was around -5%. The Bloomberg 2% Issuer Capped Index had a total return of 10.62% during the period.
High-yield bond default expectations fell to well below historical averages at the end of the reporting period. According to JP Morgan, the U.S. high-yield latest-12-month default rate was 1.10% in July 2021 and is expected to trend downwards for the remainder of the calendar year.
• How did the USAA High Income Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?
The Fund has four share classes: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, and R6 Shares. For the reporting period ended July 31, 2021, the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, and R6 Shares had total returns of 11.84%, 11.93%, 11.58%, and 12.25%, respectively. This compares to returns of 10.62% for the Bloomberg U.S. High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index (the "Index") and 11.85% for the Lipper High Yield Bond Funds Index.

Managers' Commentary (continued)
• What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?
The Fund produced a positive total return during the reporting period ended July 31, 2021, and outperformed its Index. The portfolio benefited from the income generated by its holdings, and an increase in prices during the reporting period.
Relative to the Index, the Fund's selection of high-yield corporate bonds added to performance. Off-index positions in equities, bank loans and government-related securities also added to returns. Cash and high-yield ETFs, which are used for cash management purposes, detracted from performance. In particular, the Fund was helped by its investments in the metals and mining, banking, and natural gas sectors. Positioning in the leisure, retail, and exploration & production sectors detracted from performance.
During the period, we increased our holdings in higher-rated credits as the lowest-rated credits tightened to unusually low spreads. Due to market inflation fears, we also decreased duration in order to keep the fund more closely aligned with the index and maintained a position in floating-rate bank loans. We also decreased our large overweight to metals and mining due to strong performance in the sector.
We continued to build the portfolio bond by bond, looking for relative value opportunities within the high-yield bond market while continuing to maintain a diversified, liquid portfolio. We seek ideas where our fundamental understanding of the credit risk is different than that of the market, working with our team of analysts to evaluate each potential investment individually, rather than on the basis of thematic trends. Our analysts continued to analyze and monitor every holding in the portfolio.
Thank you for allowing us to assist you with your investment needs.

USAA High Income Fund — Growth of $10,000
1The Bloomberg U.S. High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index is an index comprised of fixed rate, non-investment grade debt securities that are dollar denominated and nonconvertible. The index limits the maximum exposure to any one issuer to 2%. This index does not include the effect of sales charges, commissions, expenses, or taxes, is not representative of the Fund, and it is not possible to invest directly in an index. As of August 24, 2021, Bloomberg rebranded the Bloomberg Barlcays fixed income indices as "Bloomberg Indices."
2The Lipper High Yield Bond Funds Index tracks the total return performance of the funds within the Lipper High Yield Funds category. This index does not include the effect of sales charges, commissions, expenses, or taxes, is not representative of the Fund, and it is not possible to invest directly in an index.
The graph reflects investment of growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund.
The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of shares.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements July 31, 2021 |
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.
36
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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 are valued each business day by a pricing service approved by the Board. The approved pricing service uses the evaluated bid or the last sale price to value securities. Debt obligations maturing within 60 days may be valued at amortized cost, provided that the amortized cost represents the fair value of such securities. 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, investments are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of 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 July 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):

(a) Less than $1 thousand.
As of July 31, 2021, there were no significant Level 3 holdings in the fair value hierarchy. For the year ended July 31, 2021, there were no significant transfers in or out of Level 3 in the 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.
37
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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 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.
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 a 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.
38
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
Bank Loans:
The Fund may invest in loan interests and direct debt instruments, generally referred to as bank loans, which are interests in amounts owed by a corporate, governmental, or other borrower to lenders or lending syndicates (in the case of loans and loan participations), to suppliers of goods or services (in the case of trade claims or other receivables), or to other parties. These investments involve a risk of loss in case of the default, insolvency, or bankruptcy of the borrower.
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.
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 presented on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under Deposit with broker for futures contracts. As of July 31, 2021, the Fund did not hold any futures 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 discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis. Paydown gains or losses on applicable securities, if any, are recorded as components of Interest income on the Statement of Operations.
39
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
The Fund may receive other income from investments in loan assignments and/or unfunded commitments, including amendment fees, consent fees, and commitment fees. These fees are recorded as income when received. These amounts, if received, are included in Interest income on the Statement of Operations.
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 July 31, 2021.
Value of Securities on Loan | Non-Cash Collateral | Cash Collateral | |||||||||
$ | 57,036 | $ | — | $ | 58,809 |
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 an 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, printing fees, and 12b-1 fees), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are
40
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets on the date income is earned or expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred.
Cross-Trade Transactions:
Pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act, the Fund may engage in cross-trades, which are securities transactions with affiliated investment companies and advisory accounts managed by the Adviser and any applicable sub-adviser. Any such purchase or sale transaction must be effected without brokerage commission or other remuneration, except for customary transfer fees. The transaction must be effected at the current market price, which is either the security's last sale price on an exchange or, if there are no transactions in the security that day, at the average of the highest bid and lowest asked price. For the year ended July 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):

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 an indirect wholly owned 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 year ended July 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 the largest funds 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) | ||||||
+/- 20 to 50 | +/- 4 | ||||||
+/- 51 to 100 | +/- 5 | ||||||
+/- 101 and greater | +/- 6 |
(a) Based on the difference between the average annual performance of the relevant share class of the Fund and its relevant Lipper index, rounded to the nearest basis point.
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 High Yield Bond Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
For the period July 1, 2020, to July 31, 2021, performance fees were $(643), $(445), $(5), and $(3) for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, and R6 Shares in thousands, respectively. Performance adjustments were (0.06)%, (0.06)%, (0.08)%, and (0.07)% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, and R6 Shares, respectively. The performance adjustment rate included in the investment advisory fee may differ from the maximum over/under Annual Adjustment Rate due to differences in average net assets for the reporting period and rolling 36 month performance periods.
The Trust relies on an exemptive order granted to VCM and its affiliated funds by the SEC in March 2019 permitting the use of a "manager-of-managers" structure for certain funds. Under a manager-of-managers structure, the investment adviser may select (with approval of the Board and without shareholder approval) one or more subadvisers to manage the day-to-day investment of a fund's assets. For the year ended July 31, 2021, the Fund had no subadvisers.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM serves as the Fund's administrator and fund accountant. Under the Fund Administration, Servicing and Accounting Agreement, VCM is paid an administration and servicing fee that is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.15%, 0.10%, 0.15%, and 0.05%, which is based on the Fund's average daily net assets of the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, and R6 Shares, respectively.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
The Adviser has entered into an expense limitation agreement with the Fund until at least June 30, 2023. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of the Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. Acquired fund fees and expenses, 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 July 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 the terms of the expense limitation agreement, amended May 1, 2021, 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 (thirty six (36) months) after 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. Prior to May 1, 2021, the Fund was permitted to recoup fees waived and expenses reimbursed for up to three years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement took place, subject to the limitations above. This change did not have any effect on the amounts previously reported for recoupment.
As of July 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 July 31, 2021.
Expires 2022 | Expires 2023 | Expires 2024 | Total | ||||||||||||
$ | 10 | $ | 69 | $ | 114 | $ | 193 |
The Adviser may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Fund in maintaining competitive expense ratios. Voluntary waivers and reimbursements applicable to the Fund are not available to be recouped at a future time. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the year ended July 31, 2021.
Certain officers and/or interested trustees of the Fund are also officers and/or employees of the Adviser, administrator, fund accountant, sub-administrator, sub-fund accountant, custodian, and Distributor.
6. Risks:
The Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
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 issuer's 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.
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
44
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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 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:
The Victory Funds Complex participates in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 29, 2021, with a termination date of June 27, 2022. 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 Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended July 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. Prior to June 29, 2021, the Victory Funds Complex paid an annual commitment fee of 0.15% and an upfront fee of 0.10%. 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 year ended July 31, 2021.
45
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 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 in the Victory Funds Complex that is permitted to participate in the Facility, 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 year ended July 31, 2021, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Borrower or Lender | Amount Outstanding at July 31, 2021 | Average Borrowing* | Days Borrowing Outstanding | Average Interest Rate* | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Borrower | $ | — | $ | 4,560 | 4 | 0.59 | % | $ | 6,167 |
* For the year ended July 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.
As of July 31, 2021, on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, there were no permanent book-to-tax difference reclassification adjustments.
The tax character of distributions paid during the tax years ended as noted below, were as follows (total distributions paid may differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because, for tax purposes, dividends are recognized when actually paid) (amounts in thousands):
Year Ended July 31, 2021 | Year Ended July 31, 2020 | ||||||||||||||||||
Distributions paid from | Distributions paid from | ||||||||||||||||||

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
As of July 31, 2021, the components of accumulated earnings (loss) on a tax basis were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Undistributed Ordinary Income | Other Earnings (Deficit) | Accumulated Earnings | Accumulated Capital and Other Loss | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)* | Total Accumulated Earnings (Loss) | ||||||||||||||||||
$ | 4,183 | $ | (55 | ) | $ | 4,128 | $ | (216,456 | ) | $ | 119,163 | $ | (93,165 | ) |
* The difference between the book-basis and tax-basis of unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, and hybrid accruals interest purchased.
As of July 31, 2021, 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 | |||||||||||||
$ | 30,452 | $ | 186,004 | $ | 216,456 |
During the tax year ended July 31, 2021, the Fund utilized $13,600 thousand of short-term capital loss carryforwards, and $6,270 thousand of long-term capital loss carryforwards.
As of July 31, 2021, the cost basis for federal income tax purposes, gross unrealized appreciation, gross unrealized depreciation, and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for investments were as follows (amounts in thousands):

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA High Income Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA High Income Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of July 31, 2021, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust) at July 31, 2021, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian, agent banks and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers or agent banks were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more Victory Capital investment companies since 1995.

Proxy Voting 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) 235-8396. 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 July 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.

Liquidity Risk Management Program:
The USAA Mutual Funds Trust have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the "LRMP") as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration the Fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions; its short and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other liquidity management tools such as available funding sources including the Victory Funds Complex Interfund Lending Facility and Line of Credit (discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements). The USAA Mutual Fund's Board of Trustees approved the appointment of the Fund's investment adviser, Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital"), as the administrator of the LRMP.
Victory Capital manages liquidity risks associated with the Fund's investments by monitoring, among other things, cash and cash equivalents, any use of derivatives, the concentration of investments, the appropriateness of the Fund's investment strategy, and by classifying every Fund investment as either highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid, or illiquid on at least a monthly basis. To assist with the classification of Fund investments, Victory Capital has retained a third-party provider of liquidity evaluation services. This provider determines preliminary liquidity classifications for all portfolio holdings based upon portfolio-level data and certain assumptions provided by Victory Capital. Victory Capital reviews the preliminary liquidity classifications and, when appropriate, considers other information including input from the Fund's portfolio managers (including the portfolio managers employed by any investment sub-advisers) in determining final liquidity classifications.
At a meeting held on March 10, 2021, Victory Capital provided an oral and written report to the Trustees on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP during the previous year. The report from Victory Capital concluded that the Fund did not experience any significant liquidity challenges during the covered period, and the Fund's LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage its liquidity risk. The report also concluded that the LRMP continues to operate adequately and effectively to enable Victory Capital to oversee and manage liquidity risk and ensure the Fund is able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution to the remaining investors' interest in the Fund. During the review period, the Fund's portfolio consisted primarily of highly liquid investments, which are defined as cash and any investments that the Fund reasonably expects to be converted to cash in current market conditions in three business days or less without significantly changing the market value of the investment. Therefore, the Fund has not adopted a highly liquid investment minimum. The Fund's investments were below the limitation on illiquid investments during the review period. Additionally, Victory Capital indicated that no events occurred that would require the filing of Form N-LIQUID and recommended no material changes to the LRMP.

IRA DISTRIBUTION WITHHOLDING DISCLOSURE
We generally must withhold federal income tax at a rate of 10% of the taxable portion of your distribution and, if you live in a state that requires state income tax withholding, at your state's tax rate. However, you may elect not to have withholding apply or to have income tax withheld at a higher rate. Any withholding election that you make will apply to any subsequent distribution unless and until you change or revoke the election. If you wish to make a withholding election, or change or revoke a prior withholding election, call (800) 235-8396, 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.

Dear Shareholder,
It's hard to believe that it was just last summer when we were still coming to grips with a global pandemic, hoping for an effective vaccine, and wondering whether the U.S. Federal Reserve's (the "Fed's") aggressive actions would continue to mollify financial markets. As it turns out, a vaccine was rolled out (domestically) faster than expectations, and a recovery that began during the second quarter of 2020 continued unabated.
Fast forward to today and investors are still a bit uneasy, but with a different set of worries. Financial assets have recovered, but the pandemic is still on the back of everyone's mind, and we are all wondering how a recent surge in COVID-19 cases will impact markets going forward. Today, CEOs are expressing concerns about labor shortages, disrupted supply chains, rising commodity prices, and the potential for lasting inflation. If anything, this merely exemplifies just how dynamic and unpredictable markets can be.
Nevertheless, we consider ourselves relatively fortunate despite the myriad challenges of the past year. For starters, we are thankful how quickly the various forms of monetary and fiscal stimulus contributed to a rebound in gross domestic product ("GDP"). It wasn't a straight line upward and there were bouts of elevated volatility in both bond and stock markets. Late in 2020, for example, financial markets were alternately fueled and roiled by a contentious election season, growing optimism for an effective vaccine, and a fluid debate regarding the need for even more stimulus. Ultimately, stocks were propelled higher in the fourth quarter of 2020 as it became clear Congress would provide another dose of stimulus in the form of direct payments, more unemployment insurance, and additional aid to businesses.
As we moved into 2021, stocks continued their upward trajectory. Meanwhile, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury rallied sharply as many investors began to shift their focus. Deflation was out; inflation was in. More recently, the calculus has shifted once again. This summer a new variant of the virus emerged, and investors began worrying about future economic growth. With those concerns volatility re-emerged and Treasury yields retreated. The ride continues.
So how did markets actually fare during our most recent annual reporting period? Through all the volatility and surprises, the S&P 500® Index registered impressive gains of nearly 35% for this 12-month period ended July 31, 2021. Not coincidentally, this broad market index has been hovering near its all-time high. Over this same annual period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 69 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of one percent), reflecting a very low starting rate, substantial fiscal stimulus, and the Fed's ongoing accommodative monetary policy. As the end of our reporting period approached, however, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury began trending lower, reflecting pandemic and growth concerns and finishing at 1.24% on July 31, 2021.
Where to from here? Our investment professionals continually monitor the environment and work hard to position portfolios opportunistically. There will no doubt be more challenges ahead, but we think it's important to reflect on the positives and remember our collective spirit and perseverance. Markets endured this past
2
year and even surprised to the upside, and investors who remained calm in the face of adversity and focused on their longer-term investment goals were likely rewarded. In our view, that always seems to be the best approach no matter what the markets throw at us.
On the following pages, you will find information relating to your USAA Mutual Funds, brought to you by Victory Capital. If you have any questions regarding the current market dynamics or your specific portfolio or investment plan, we encourage you to contact our Member Service Representatives. Call (800) 235-8396 or visit our website at www.vcm.com.
From all of us here at Victory Capital, thank you for letting us help you work toward your investment goals.

Managers' Commentary
(Unaudited)
• What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
Throughout the 12-month reporting period ending July 31, 2021, the target federal funds ("fed funds") rate was unchanged at a range of between 0.00% and 0.25%. Officials at the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") set the short-term rate target to these low levels in order to support the U.S. economy during the country's battle with COVID-19. Recent commentary from the Fed indicates that it doesn't expect to raise the target rate anytime soon. The Fed has said it will keep rates at zero "until it is confident that the economy has weathered recent events and is on track" to achieve its goals of stable prices and strong employment. As a result of the Fed's interest rate target of zero during the reporting period, interest rates on money market instruments were low throughout the reporting period. As a result, yields on money market mutual funds were also low. However, investors continued to rely on the perceived risk profile of money market funds.
• How did the USAA Money Market Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?
For the reporting period ended July 31, 2021, the Fund had a return of 0.01%, compared to an average return of 0.02% for the funds in the Lipper Money Market Funds category.
• What strategies did you employ during the period?
During the reporting period ending July 31, 2021, we continued to invest in commercial paper, fixed-rate Yankee CDs, Treasury securities, and corporate notes. We moderated the Fund's investments in variable rate Yankee CDs as interest rates moved lower while maintaining our exposure to variable rate demand notes ("VRDNs"). The VRDNs owned by the Fund give us flexibility because they can be sold at par (100% of face value) upon notice of seven days or less. Furthermore, most of these VRDNs are guaranteed by a bank letter of credit for the payment of both principal and interest, providing the Fund with a degree of safety and liquidity. As always, we relied on our team of analysts to help us identify securities that we believe represented relative value. These specialists also continue to analyze and monitor every holding in the portfolio
Thank you for allowing us to assist in your investment needs.

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 USAA Federal Savings Bank, or any other bank, and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation 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.
Total return measures the price change in a share assuming the reinvestment of all net investment income and realized capital gain distributions, if any. The total returns quoted do not reflect adjustments made to the enclosed financial statements in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles or the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on net investment income and realized capital gain distributions, including reinvested distributions, or redemptions of shares.

The 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 (the "Board") 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)

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or the "Adviser") has established the Pricing and Liquidity Committee (the "Committee"), and subject to the Board's 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.
Municipal Obligations:
The value of municipal obligations can fluctuate and may be affected by adverse tax, legislative, or political changes, and by financial developments affecting municipal issuers. Payment of municipal obligations may depend on a relatively limited source of revenue, resulting in greater credit risk. Future changes in federal tax laws or the activity of an issuer may adversely affect the tax-exempt status of municipal obligations.
Investment Transactions and Related Income:
Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis.
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 an 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 year ended July 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) | |||||||||
$ | — | $ | 55,430 | $ | — |
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 an indirect wholly owned 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 year ended July 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. Under a manager-of-managers structure, the investment adviser may select (with approval of the Board and without shareholder approval) one or more subadvisers to manage the day-to-day investment of a fund's assets. For the year ended July 31, 2021, the Fund had no subadvisers.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM serves as the Fund's administrator and fund accountant. Under the Fund Administration, Servicing, and Accounting Agreement, VCM is paid an administration and servicing fee that is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.10%, which is based on the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Administration fees.
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. ("Citi"), an affiliate of Citibank, acts as sub-administrator and sub-fund accountant to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Administration and Sub-Fund Accounting Services Agreement between VCM and Citi. VCM pays Citi a fee for providing these services. The Fund reimburses VCM and Citi for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing these services and certain other expenses specifically allocated to the Fund. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Sub-Administration fees.
20
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
The Fund (as part of the Trust) has entered into an agreement to provide compliance services with the Adviser, pursuant to which the Adviser furnishes its compliance personnel, including the services of the Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO"), and other resources reasonably necessary to provide the Trust with compliance oversight services related to the design, administration, and oversight of a compliance program for the Trust in accordance with Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The CCO is an employee of the Adviser, which pays the compensation of the CCO and support staff. Funds in the Trust, Victory Variable Insurance Funds, Victory Portfolios, and Victory Portfolios II (collectively, the "Victory Funds Complex") in the aggregate, compensate the Adviser for these services. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 31, 2021, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Compliance 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 for the Fund are paid monthly based on a fee accrued daily at an annualized rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets, plus out-of-pocket expenses. VCTA pays a portion of these fees to certain intermediaries for the administration and servicing of accounts that are held with such intermediaries. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the year ended July 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 year ended July 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 June 30, 2023. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. Acquired fund fees and expenses, 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 July 31, 2021, the expense limit (excluding voluntary waivers) was 0.62%.
Under the terms of the expense limitation agreement, amended May 1, 2021, 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 (thirty six (36) months) after 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. Prior to May 1, 2021, the Fund was permitted to recoup fees waived and expenses reimbursed for up to three years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement took place, subject to the limitations above. This change did not have any effect on the amounts previously reported for recoupment.
In addition, the Adviser agreed to further reimburse fees in excess of the Fund's expense limit agreement of 0.62%. 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
21
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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 July 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 July 31, 2021.
Expires 2023 | Expires 2024 | Total | |||||||||
$ | 1,305 | $ | 8,192 | $ | 9,497 |
Certain officers and/or interested trustees of the Fund are also officers and/or employees of the Adviser, administrator, fund accountant, sub-administrator, sub-fund accountant, custodian, and Distributor.
4. Risks:
The Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
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 Fees and Gates — The Fund may impose liquidity fees on redemptions and/or temporarily suspend redemptions (gates) if the Fund's weekly liquid assets fall below certain 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 also 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
22
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2021 |
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.
5. Borrowing:
Line of Credit:
The Victory Funds Complex participates in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 29, 2021, with a termination date of June 27, 2022. 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 Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended July 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. Prior to June 29, 2021, the Victory Funds Complex paid an annual commitment fee of 0.15% and an upfront fee of 0.10%. 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 year ended July 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.
As of July 31, 2021, on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, there were no permanent book-to-tax difference reclassification adjustments.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA Money Market Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA Money Market Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of July 31, 2021, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust) at July 31, 2021, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more Victory Capital investment companies since 1995.

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) 235-8396. 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 Fund makes available on VCM.com a complete list of portfolio holdings no sooner than 5 business days after the end of each month. 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 February 1, 2021, through July 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 2/1/21 | Actual Ending Account Value 7/31/21 | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 7/31/21 | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 2/1/21-7/31/21* | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 2/1/21-7/31/21* | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 2/1/21-7/31/21 | ||||||||||||||||||
$ | 1,000.00 | $ | 1,000.00 | $ | 1,023.80 | $ | 0.99 | $ | 1.00 | 0.20 | % |
* Expenses are equal to the average account value multiplied by the Fund's annualized expense ratio multiplied by 181/365 (the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year).
