Dear Shareholder,
Just as the calendar year ended, investors were quickly reminded that financial markets go up and down. A host of worries have recently conspired to disturb the markets. Inflation data has been running hotter than expected; the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") has embarked on a new rate-hike cycle. And, of course, we're all watching a terrible war unfold in Eastern Europe. All these issues have ratcheted up uncertainties and market volatility in both stock and bond markets.
Given these concerns, it's no surprise that sentiment has turned negative and investors have become more focused on risk management and downside protection. We believe it's important to look back at financial markets through a wider lens. Despite the recent turmoil and the headwinds of the past year — including new COVID-19 variants, disruptions among global supply chains, and rising interest rates — the S&P 500® Index, the bell-weather proxy for our domestic stock market, once again delivered positive annual total returns during the annual reporting period.
Still, underlying this positive performance were interesting differences among investment styles and market capitalizations. In general, large-cap stocks outperformed smaller capitalization companies for the full annual reporting period. Meanwhile, growth-oriented styles led value-oriented investments during the first half of our annual reporting period, while the reverse was true during the back half of the year (as measured by the Russell family of indices). Perhaps this reflects investors' expectations for future higher interest rates and corresponding higher borrowing costs?
There were other notable subplots, too. During much of 2021 we watched crypto assets captivate investors, only to see them cycle up and down several times as we all sought to grasp the potential of their emerging blockchain technologies. Also intriguing was how the biotech sector struggled mightily for much of the past year despite the success and fanfare surrounding the COVID-19 vaccines. Meanwhile, rising oil prices fueled impressive gains across the energy landscape, and other commodities (including gold) helped fuel returns in some investors' diversified portfolios. These were just a few of the themes of the past year.
Despite the recent pullback, the S&P 500 Index still registered an impressive annual total return of nearly 16% for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2022. Over this same annual period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 58 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point), thanks to the Fed's stated intentions to shift to a less accommodative monetary policy. This was evidenced in March 2022 when the Fed raised the target federal funds rate by 25 basis points, the first rate hike in three years. At the end of our reporting period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury was trending higher and finished at 2.32%.
Although we were encouraged by another resilient year for financial markets, we fully acknowledge that unusual events of recent times — as well as the heightened volatility of early 2022 — may make investors uneasy. However, our experience managing portfolios through various economic cycles (including more than one unusual market crisis) has taught us to remain calm in the face of market turmoil. It is our view that, a long-term perspective, a well-diversified portfolio across asset
2
classes and investment types, and a clear understanding of individual risk tolerances are some of the key ingredients for staying the course and progressing on investment goals.
Of course, no one knows for certain what the future will bring. We are already facing a new and less accommodative Fed, which has unequivocally stated its intent to harness the recent elevated inflation readings. As a result, we believe interest rates appear ready to increase further. Labor shortages, continuing supply chain issues, elevated commodity prices, and the Russia-Ukraine war are among the headwinds investors are now navigating. There will be other challenges ahead, with some yet to be identified.
Thus, we cannot tell you with any certainty what markets will do in the future, but we can assure you that the investment professionals at all our independent franchises continually monitor the market environment and work hard to position portfolios opportunistically no matter what the markets bring.
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, we encourage you to contact our Representatives. Call (800) 235-8396 or visit our website at www.vcm.com.

Manager's Commentary
(Unaudited)
• What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
At the start of the reporting period, equity markets consolidated, and interest rates leveled off after large upswings during the second quarter of 2021. With strong first quarter gross domestic product and corporate earnings growth in the rearview mirror, investors seemed to be contemplating their next move. During the first half of the annual reporting period, equity markets rotated from value to growth leadership as Treasury bond yields retreated from the highs of March 2021. Inflation data increased as the economy reopened more quickly than expected. The U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") maintained that inflationary pressure is transitory but could become more persistent. The inflationary environment was a key metric moving into the second half of the year.
The financial markets produced broadly flat returns in the third quarter. Conditions were initially supportive in July and August thanks to positive economic data and continued strength in corporate earnings. The picture changed in September, however, as investors began to focus on risk factors such as supply chain disruptions and rising inflation. In addition, the Fed indicated that it may begin tapering its stimulative quantitative easing policy — a development investors took as an indication that the first interest-rate increases may be on the way in 2022. News flow from overseas also took a negative turn in September, with the emergence of energy shortages in Europe and worries that the debt problems of Chinese property developer Evergrande could have a broader, systemic effect on China's economy.
Despite a number of headwinds to sentiment, U.S. equities posted solid gains in the fourth quarter of 2021 as reflected in the 11.03% return for the bellwether S&P 500 Index. The markets faced a shift in Fed policy as persistent inflation driven by supply chain issues and rising commodity prices led the central bank to announce and subsequently accelerate the tapering of its bond purchases that have helped keep longer-term borrowing costs low. In addition, the Fed began to signal the likelihood of two or more hikes in its benchmark overnight lending rate in 2022, representing a moving forward of the prior timetable. Prolonged negotiations over President Biden's Build Back Better spending bill put into question a source of anticipated fiscal stimulus. Finally, investors had to contend with the rapid emergence and spread of the Omicron variant of COVID-19, which threatened a new wave of lockdowns. Nonetheless, most major U.S. equity indices closed 2021 at or near all-time highs, supported by robust corporate profits and investor inflows given fixed income yields that remained unattractive.
At the end of the reporting period, the Russian invasion of Ukraine added significant volatility to both equity and bond markets that were already concerned with elevated levels of inflation, a hawkish Fed, and rising interest rates. In the first quarter of 2022, the combination of widening credit spreads and rising interest rates led to the worst quarter for the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index in 40 years. Equity markets did not fare any better as the bellwether S&P 500 also posted a negative return during the quarter. With the Fed now embarking on a tightening cycle, the markets will remain focused on the Fed and whether it can engineer a soft landing amidst the highest inflation readings in 40 years.

USAA Global Equity Income Fund (continued)
Manager's Commentary (continued)
• How did the USAA Global Equity Income Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?
The Fund has two share classes: Fund Shares and Institutional Shares. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, the Fund Shares and Institutional Shares had a total return (at net asset value) of 12.28% and 6.91%, respectively. This compares to returns of 9.41% for the MSCI World High Dividend Yield Index and 6.88% for the Lipper Global Equity Income Funds Index.
• What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?
The Fund focuses on income-oriented global equities and normally will have roughly equal weights in U.S. and international stocks, although this will vary to some degree depending on where we see the better value. In selecting stocks, we emphasize not only the current dividend but also a company's likely ability to grow its dividend. As a result, the average current dividend of companies held by the fund generally will be somewhat lower than the benchmark. However, our view is that a focus on dividend growers should provide an improved total return profile as we invest within the global dividend stock universe.
For the 12-month period ended March 31, 2022, strong stock selection drove relative performance while sector allocation detracted. Overweights to value sectors energy and financials and strong stock selection in information technology contributed to relative performance, while overweights to information technology and underweights to health care detracted from relative performance.
From a country perspective, strong overall stock selection in the United States positively contributed to relative performance against the benchmark. An overweight to Canada and underweight to Germany and Sweden relative to the benchmark added to performance, while an underweight to Australia and the United Kingdom negatively impacted performance relative to the benchmark.
On a long-term basis, we believe that focusing on quality companies with attractive valuations and dividend income is a sound strategy from a total return perspective.
Thank you for allowing us to assist you with your investment needs.

* Assumes reinvestment of all net investment income and realized capital gain distributions, if any, during the period. Includes adjustments in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and could differ from the Lipper reported return.
** For the period beginning July 1, 2019, the amount of any waivers or reimbursements and the amount of any recoupment is calculated without regard to the impact of any performance adjustment to the Fund's management fee.
^ The net expense ratio may not correlate to the applicable expense limits in place during the period since the current contractual expense limitation is applied for a period beginning July 1, 2019, and in effect through June 30, 2023, instead of coinciding with the Fund's fiscal year end. Details of the current contractual expense limitation in effect can be found in Note 4 of the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.
† Does not include acquired fund fees and expenses, if any.
(a) Portfolio turnover is calculated on the basis of the Fund as a whole without distinguishing between the classes of shares issued.
(b) Per share net investment income (loss) has been calculated using the average daily shares method.
(c) Reflects a return to normal trading levels after a prior year transition or asset allocation shift.
(d) Reflects increased trading activity due to current year transition or asset allocation shift.
(e) Prior to August 1, 2018, USAA Asset Management Company ("AMCO")(previous investment Adviser) voluntarily agreed to limit the annual expenses of the Fund Shares to 1.20% of the Fund Shares' average daily net assets.
(f) Includes impact of Interfund lending fees and Interest fees. Without these fees, the net expense ratio would have been lower by 0.01%.
(g) Prior to August 1, 2018, AMCO voluntarily agreed to limit the annual expenses of the Institutional Shares to 1.10% of the Institutional Shares' average daily net assets.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements March 31, 2022 | |
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 45 funds and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with no par value.
The accompanying financial statements are those of the USAA Global Equity Income Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers two classes of shares: Fund Shares and Institutional Shares. The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.
Each class of shares of the Fund has substantially identical rights and privileges, except with respect to fees paid under distribution plans, expenses allocable exclusively to each class of shares, voting rights on matters solely affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange privilege of each class of shares.
Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund follows the specialized accounting and reporting requirements under GAAP that are applicable to investment companies under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.
Investment Valuation:
The Fund records investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Fund's investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities or interest rates applicable to those securities, etc.)
• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuation techniques are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with entering into those investments.
Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or the "Adviser") has established the Pricing and Liquidity Committee (the "Committee"), and subject to the Trust's Board of Trustees' (the "Board") oversight, the Committee administers and oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures, which are approved by the Board.
22
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
Portfolio securities listed or traded on securities exchanges, including Exchange-Traded Funds ("ETFs"), and American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), 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, other than ETFs, 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 March 31, 2022, 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 | | $ | 47,384 | | | $ | 16,346 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 63,730 | | |
Collateral for Securities Loaned | | | 454 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | 454 | | |
Total | | $ | 47,838 | | | $ | 16,346 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 64,184 | | |
For the year ended March 31, 2022, 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.
Derivative Instruments:
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
23
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
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 March 31, 2022, 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 or 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 and banks, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. Borrowers are required to initially 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 generally cured the next business day. The collateral can be received in the form of cash collateral and/or non-cash collateral. Non-cash collateral can include U.S. Government Securities and other securities as permitted by Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidelines. The cash collateral is invested in short-term instruments or cash equivalents, primarily open-end investment companies, as noted on the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The Fund effectively does not have control of the non-cash collateral and therefore it is not disclosed on the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. 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. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Fund could experience a delay in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them. In addition, there is a risk 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 repledged, except to satisfy borrower default.
24
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
The following table (amounts in thousands) is a summary of the Fund's securities lending transactions as of March 31, 2022.
Value of Securities on Loan | | Non-Cash Collateral | | Cash Collateral | |
$ | 502 | | | $ | 82 | | | $ | 454 | | |
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 are disclosed as Net realized gains (losses) from investment securities and foreign currency transactions on the Statement of Operations.
Foreign Taxes:
The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes related to foreign income received (a portion of which may be reclaimable), capital gains on the sale of securities, and certain foreign currency transactions. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Fund invests.
Federal Income Taxes:
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Fund has a tax year end of March 31.
For the year ended March 31, 2022, the Fund did not incur any income tax, interest, or penalties, and has recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain tax positions.
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:
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) for the year ended March 31, 2022, were as follows for the Fund (amounts in thousands):
Excluding U.S. Government Securities | |
Purchases | | Sales | |
$ | 20,344 | | | $ | 38,834 | | |
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 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the year ended March 31, 2022, 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 the respective class' performance to that of the Lipper Global Equity Income Funds Index. The Lipper Global Equity Income Funds Index tracks the total return performance of the largest funds within the Lipper Global Equity Income Funds category.
The performance period for each share class consists of the current month plus the previous 35 months (or the number of months beginning July 1, 2019, if fewer). The following table is utilized to determine the extent of the performance adjustment:
Over/Under Performance Relative to Index (in basis points)(a) | | Annual Adjustment Rate (in basis points) | |
| +/- 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 the 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.
26
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
Under the performance fee arrangement, each class pays a positive performance fee adjustment for a performance period whenever the class outperforms the Lipper Global Equity Income Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
For the period April 1, 2021, to March 31, 2022, performance adjustments were $28 and $1 for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, in thousands, respectively. Performance adjustments were 0.04% and 0.22% 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 March 31, 2022, the Fund had no subadvisers.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM also 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 of the Institutional Shares, respectively. Amounts incurred for the year ended March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Sub-Administration fees.
The Fund (as part of the Trust) has entered into an agreement with the Adviser to provide compliance services, 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. The 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 March 31, 2022, 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 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 March 31, 2022, 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.
27
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
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 March 31, 2022, 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 limits for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. Performance adjustments, 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 March 31, 2022, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 1.00% and 0.90% for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, respectively.
Under the terms of the expense limitation agreement, as 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 Adviser 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 March 31, 2022, 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 repayments are not probable at March 31, 2022.
Expires 2023 | | Expires 2024 | | Expires 2025 | | Total | |
$ | 93 | | | $ | 117 | | | $ | 81 | | | $ | 291 | | |
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 March 31, 2022.
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, terrorism, trade disputes, inflation rates, interest rate levels and other fiscal and monetary policy changes, cybersecurity incidents, pandemics and other public health crises, sanctions against a particular foreign country, its nationals, businesses or industries and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods, or other catastrophes, may add to instability in global economies and markets generally, and may lead to increased market volatility. Global economies and financial markets are highly interconnected, which
28
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region might adversely affect issuers in another country or region. The impact of these and other factors may be short-term or may last for extended periods.
Equity Risk — The values of the equity securities in which the Fund invests may decline in response to developments affecting individual companies and/or general market, economic and political conditions and other factors. 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 may 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 28, 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 March 31, 2022, 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 London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus one percent, with LIBOR to be replaced by a different benchmark rate in accordance with the terms of the agreement) on amounts borrowed. Prior to June 28, 2021, the Victory Funds Complex paid an annual commitment fee of 0.15% and an upfront fee of 0.10%. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex paid a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Interest charged to the 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 March 31, 2022.
Interfund Lending:
The Trust and the 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 reflected on the Statement of Operations under Interfund lending.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
The average borrowing or lending for the days outstanding and average interest rate for the Fund during the year ended March 31, 2022, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Borrower or Lender | | Amount Outstanding at March 31, 2022 | | Average Borrowing* | | Days Borrowing Outstanding | | Average Interest Rate* | | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | |

* For the year ended March 31, 2022, based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding.
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 March 31, 2022, 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 | |
$ | (411 | ) | | $ | 411 | | |
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 March 31, 2022 | | Year Ended March 31, 2021 | |
Distributions Paid From | | | | | | Distributions Paid From | | | |
Ordinary Income | | Net Long-Term Capital Gains | | Total Taxable Distributions | | Total Distributions Paid | | Ordinary Income | | Total Distributions Paid | |
$ | 1,240 | | | $ | 4,514 | | | $ | 5,754 | | | $ | 5,754 | | | $ | 1,191 | | | $ | 1,191 | | |
30
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
As of March 31, 2022, 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 | | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)* | | Total Accumulated Earnings (Loss) | |

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA Global Equity Income Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA Global Equity Income Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more Victory Capital investment companies since 1995.

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 October 1, 2021, through March 31, 2022.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical expenses in the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| | Beginning Account Value 10/1/21 | | Actual Ending Account Value 3/31/22 | | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 3/31/22 | | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 10/1/21- 3/31/22* | | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 10/1/21- 3/31/22* | | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 10/1/21- 3/31/22 | |
Fund Shares | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,068.40 | | | $ | 1,019.70 | | | $ | 5.41 | | | $ | 5.29 | | | | 1.05 | % | |

* Expenses are equal to the average account value multiplied by the Fund's annualized expense ratio multiplied by 182/365 (the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year).
** The expense ratio for the six-month period could potentially change due to performance fee adjustments.

Considerations of the Board in Continuing the Investment Advisory Agreement
USAA Global Equity Income Fund (the "Fund")
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") held on December 9-10, 2021, the Board, including the Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Trust (the "Independent Trustees"), approved for an annual period the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") between the Trust and Victory Capital Management Inc. (the "Adviser") with respect to the Fund. Prior to the December 9-10, 2021, meeting at which the Advisory Agreement was approved, the Independent Trustees also discussed and considered information regarding the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement at a meeting held on November 19, 2021.
In advance of the foregoing meetings, the Trustees received and considered a variety of information relating to the Advisory Agreement and the Adviser and were given the opportunity to ask questions and request additional information from management. The information provided to the Board included, among other things: (i) a separate report prepared by an independent third party of mutual fund data, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Fund's investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable investment companies; (ii) information concerning the services rendered to the Fund, as well as information regarding the Adviser's revenues and costs of providing services to the Fund and compensation paid to affiliates of the Adviser; and (iii) information about the Adviser's operations and personnel. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees reviewed the proposed continuance of the Advisory Agreement with management and with experienced independent counsel retained by the Independent Trustees ("Independent Counsel") and received materials from such Independent Counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund in private sessions with Independent Counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
At each regularly scheduled meeting of the Board and its committees, the Board receives and reviews, among other things, information concerning the Fund's performance and related services provided by the Adviser. At the meeting at which the renewal of the Advisory Agreement is considered, particular focus is given to information concerning Fund performance, fees and total expenses as compared to comparable investment companies, and the Adviser's profitability with respect to the Fund. However, the Board noted that the evaluation process with respect to the Adviser is an ongoing one. In this regard, the Board's and its committees' consideration of the Advisory Agreement included information previously received at such meetings. The Board also recognized that the contractual arrangements for the Fund have been reviewed by the Board and discussed with the Adviser in prior years and that the Board's conclusions may be based, in part, on its consideration of these same arrangements in prior years.
Advisory Agreement
After full consideration of a variety of factors, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Advisory Agreement. In approving the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors. Throughout their deliberations, the Independent Trustees were represented and assisted by Independent Counsel.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services — In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Adviser relating to its operations and personnel. The Board also took into account its knowledge of the Adviser's management and the quality of the performance of the Adviser's duties through Board meetings, discussions, and reports during the preceding year. The Board considered the fees paid to the Adviser and the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, as well as other services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates under other agreements, and the personnel who provide these services. In addition to the investment advisory services provided to the Fund, the Adviser and its affiliates provide administrative services, shareholder services, oversight of Fund accounting, marketing services, assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, and other services necessary for the operation of the Fund and the Trust.
40
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Supplemental Information — continued March 31, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
The Board considered the scope of services provided by, and the undertakings required of, the Adviser in connection with those services, including, among other things, maintaining (i) its own and the Fund's compliance programs, (ii) risk management programs, (iii) liquidity risk management programs, and (iv) cybersecurity programs, each of which had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market, and other developments. The Board also considered the significant risks assumed by the Adviser in connection with the services provided to the Fund, including investment, operational, enterprise, litigation, regulatory and compliance risks.
The Board considered the Adviser's management style and the performance of the Adviser's duties under the Advisory Agreement. The Board considered the level and depth of knowledge of the Adviser, including the professional experience and qualifications of its senior and investment personnel, as well as current staffing levels. The allocation of the Fund's brokerage, including the Adviser's process for monitoring "best execution," also was considered. The Adviser's role in coordinating the activities of the Fund's other service providers was also considered. The Board also considered the Adviser's risk management processes. The Board considered the Adviser's financial condition and that it had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide the same scope and high quality of services under the Advisory Agreement. In reviewing the Advisory Agreement, the Board focused on the experience, resources, and strengths of the Adviser and its affiliates in managing the Fund, as well as the other funds in the Trust.
The Board also reviewed the compliance and administrative services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates, including the Adviser's oversight of the Fund's day-to-day operations and oversight of Fund accounting. The Trustees, guided also by information obtained from their experiences as Trustees of the Trust, also focused on the quality of the Adviser's compliance and administrative staff.
Expenses and Performance — In connection with its consideration of the Advisory Agreement, the Board evaluated the Fund's advisory fees and total expense ratio as compared to other open-end investment companies deemed to be comparable to the Fund as determined by the independent third party in its report. The Fund's expenses were compared to (i) a group of investment companies chosen by the independent third party to be comparable to the Fund based upon certain factors, including fund type, comparability of investment objective and classification, sales load type, asset size, and expense components (the "expense group") and (ii) a larger group of investment companies with the same investment classification/objective as the Fund regardless of asset size, excluding outliers (the "expense universe"). Among other data, the Board noted that the Fund's net management fee rate — which includes advisory and administrative services and the effects of any performance adjustment1, as well as any fee waivers and reimbursements — was below the medians of its expense group and expense universe. The data indicated that the Fund's total expenses, including after any reimbursements, were below the medians of its expense group and expense universe. The Board also took into account the Adviser's current undertakings to maintain expense limitations for the Fund. The Board took into account the various other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates and noted the high quality of services received by the Fund.
In considering the Fund's performance, the Board noted that it reviews at its regularly scheduled meetings information about the Fund's performance results. The Trustees also reviewed various comparative data provided to them in connection with their consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Fund's average annual total returns relative to its Lipper index and other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group by the independent third party in its report (the "performance universe"). The Fund's performance universe consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional open-end investment companies with the same classification/objective as the Fund regardless of asset size or primary channel of distribution. This comparison indicated that, among other data, the Fund's performance was below the average of its performance universe and its Lipper index for the one-year period ended September 30, 2021, and was above the average of its performance universe and its Lipper index for the three- and five-year periods ended September 30, 2021.
Compensation and Profitability — The Board took into consideration the level and method of computing the management fee. The information considered by the Board included operating profit margin information for the Adviser's business as a whole. The Board also received and considered profitability information related to the management revenues from the Fund. This information included a review of the methodology used in the
1 The Adviser previously agreed that no performance adjustment (positive or negative) would be made to the amount payable to the Adviser from July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020.

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

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 11, 2022, 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,
Just as the calendar year ended, investors were quickly reminded that financial markets go up and down. A host of worries have recently conspired to disturb the markets. Inflation data has been running hotter than expected; the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") has embarked on a new rate-hike cycle. And, of course, we're all watching a terrible war unfold in Eastern Europe. All these issues have ratcheted up uncertainties and market volatility in both stock and bond markets.
Given these concerns, it's no surprise that sentiment has turned negative and investors have become more focused on risk management and downside protection. We believe it's important to look back at financial markets through a wider lens. Despite the recent turmoil and the headwinds of the past year — including new COVID-19 variants, disruptions among global supply chains, and rising interest rates — the S&P 500® Index, the bell-weather proxy for our domestic stock market, once again delivered positive annual total returns during the annual reporting period.
Still, underlying this positive performance were interesting differences among investment styles and market capitalizations. In general, large-cap stocks outperformed smaller capitalization companies for the full annual reporting period. Meanwhile, growth-oriented styles led value-oriented investments during the first half of our annual reporting period, while the reverse was true during the back half of the year (as measured by the Russell family of indices). Perhaps this reflects investors' expectations for future higher interest rates and corresponding higher borrowing costs?
There were other notable subplots, too. During much of 2021 we watched crypto assets captivate investors, only to see them cycle up and down several times as we all sought to grasp the potential of their emerging blockchain technologies. Also intriguing was how the biotech sector struggled mightily for much of the past year despite the success and fanfare surrounding the COVID-19 vaccines. Meanwhile, rising oil prices fueled impressive gains across the energy landscape, and other commodities (including gold) helped fuel returns in some investors' diversified portfolios. These were just a few of the themes of the past year.
Despite the recent pullback, the S&P 500 Index still registered an impressive annual total return of nearly 16% for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2022. Over this same annual period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 58 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point), thanks to the Fed's stated intentions to shift to a less accommodative monetary policy. This was evidenced in March 2022 when the Fed raised the target federal funds rate by 25 basis points, the first rate hike in three years. At the end of our reporting period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury was trending higher and finished at 2.32%.
Although we were encouraged by another resilient year for financial markets, we fully acknowledge that unusual events of recent times — as well as the heightened volatility of early 2022 — may make investors uneasy. However, our experience managing portfolios through various economic cycles (including more than one unusual market crisis) has taught us to remain calm in the face of market turmoil. It is our view that, a long-term perspective, a well-diversified portfolio across asset
2
classes and investment types, and a clear understanding of individual risk tolerances are some of the key ingredients for staying the course and progressing on investment goals.
Of course, no one knows for certain what the future will bring. We are already facing a new and less accommodative Fed, which has unequivocally stated its intent to harness the recent elevated inflation readings. As a result, we believe interest rates appear ready to increase further. Labor shortages, continuing supply chain issues, elevated commodity prices, and the Russia-Ukraine war are among the headwinds investors are now navigating. There will be other challenges ahead, with some yet to be identified.
Thus, we cannot tell you with any certainty what markets will do in the future, but we can assure you that the investment professionals at all our independent franchises continually monitor the market environment and work hard to position portfolios opportunistically no matter what the markets bring.
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, we encourage you to contact our Representatives. Call (800) 235-8396 or visit our website at www.vcm.com.

USAA California Bond Fund
Manager's Commentary
(Unaudited)
• What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
Tax-exempt bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index, generated negative returns during the 12-month reporting period ended March 31, 2022, due largely to rising municipal bond yields in the last quarter of the fiscal year. (Bond prices and yields move in opposite directions.)
The reporting period began with the municipal market fighting the headwinds of potentially higher U.S. Treasury rates and inflation, but with several notable tailwinds in support to include: heavy fund flows into tax-exempt mutual funds, investor expectations of increasing tax rates, and stimulus money flowing to municipal borrowers. During the first three quarters of the fiscal year, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index returned 1.87%.
The municipal market turned meaningfully negative in the first quarter of 2022. The Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index returned -6.23% for the quarter. The negative returns were driven by a material increase in Treasury and AAA Municipal Bond yields. These rates rose significantly in response to the U.S. Federal Reserve's initiation of monetary tightening. Negative returns were also driven by significant outflows of assets from municipal bond mutual funds.
At the end of the reporting period, the yield on the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index was 2.60%, which was notably higher than at the start of the fiscal year (1.18% on March 31, 2021). While the increase in rates detracted from performance during this fiscal year, we believe the higher rates should drive higher returns over the long-term.
• How did the USAA California Bond 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 March 31, 2022, the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A had a total return (at net asset value) of -3.64%, -3.50%, and -3.78%, respectively, versus an average return of -4.36% for the funds in the Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds category. This compares to returns of -4.24% for the Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds Index and -4.47% for the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index.
• What are the conditions in the state of California?
California's fundamental credit strength derives from a broad and diverse economy that accounted for nearly 15% of the U.S. gross domestic product through the first three quarters of 2021. The state's estimated 39.37 million residents as of July 2021, by far the largest among all the states, comprised approximately 12% of the total U.S. population.
The state's revenue performance continues to be favorable as evidenced by the governor's January budget proposal for fiscal year 2023, which anticipates further revenue growth

USAA California Bond Fund (continued)
Manager's Commentary (continued)
following preliminary positive results for fiscal year 2022. Recent fiscal strength has been driven largely by positive personal income tax performance following significant one-time funding relief during the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic.
While we view California as a generally strong credit rating state, pandemic related vulnerabilities remain an ongoing concern as evidenced by chronically high unemployment rates. Furthermore, longer term budget pressures, a high dependence upon revenues generated from the cyclical and concentrated personal income tax, and a rising trend of outmigration, while still small relative to the population, are areas of potential fiscal concern.
The state currently maintains ratings of Aa2 with stable outlook by Moody's, AA- with positive outlook by S&P, and AA with stable outlook by Fitch Ratings.
• What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?
In keeping with our investment approach, we continued to focus on income generation. The Fund's long-term income distribution, not its price appreciation, accounts for most of its total return.
Our commitment to independent credit research continued to help us identify attractive opportunities for the Fund. We employ fundamental analysis that emphasizes an issuer's ability and willingness to repay its debt. Through our credit research, we strive both to recognize relative value and to avoid potential pitfalls, which is especially important in volatile times like the present. As always, we worked with our in-house team of analysts to select investments for the Fund on a bond-by-bond basis. Our team continuously monitors all the holdings in the Fund's portfolio.
The Fund continues to hold a diversified portfolio of longer-term, primarily investment- grade municipal bonds. To limit exposure to an unexpected event, the Fund is diversified by sector, issuer, and geography. In addition, we avoid bonds subject to the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals.
Thank you for allowing us to assist you with your investment needs.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements March 31, 2022 | |
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 45 funds and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with no par value.
The accompanying financial statements are those of the USAA California Bond Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers three classes of shares: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A. 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 U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund follows the specialized accounting and reporting requirements under GAAP that are applicable to investment companies under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.
Investment Valuation:
The Fund records investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Fund's investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities or interest rates applicable to those securities, etc.)
• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuation techniques are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with entering into those investments.
Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or the "Adviser") has established the Pricing and Liquidity Committee (the "Committee"), and subject to the Trust's Board of Trustees' (the "Board") oversight, the Committee administers and oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures, which are approved by the Board.
22
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
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 net asset value ("NAV") to be more reliable than it otherwise would be.
A summary of the valuations as of March 31, 2022, 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 | |
Municipal Bonds | | $ | — | | | $ | 604,746 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 604,746 | | |
Total | | $ | — | | | $ | 604,746 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 604,746 | | |
For the year ended March 31, 2022, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
Securities Purchased on a Delayed-Delivery or When-Issued Basis:
The Fund may purchase securities on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis, or for delayed draws on loans can take place a month or more after the trade date. At the time the Fund makes the commitment to purchase a security on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis, the Fund records the transaction and reflects the value of the security in determining NAV. No interest accrues to the Fund until the transaction settles and payment takes place. A segregated account is established and the Fund maintains cash and/or marketable securities at least equal in value to commitments for delayed-delivery or when-issued securities. If the Fund owns delayed-delivery or when-issued securities, these values are included in Payables 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. Payments 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 or 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.
23
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
Federal Income Taxes:
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Fund has a tax year end of March 31.
For the year ended March 31, 2022, the Fund did not incur any income tax, interest, or penalties, and has recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain tax positions.
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 March 31, 2022, 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) | |
$ | 23,800 | | | $ | 50,000 | | | $ | — | | |
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.

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 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.
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 March 31, 2022, 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 the respective class' performance to that of the Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds Index. The Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds Index tracks the total return performance of the largest funds within the Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds category.
The performance period for each share class consists of the current month plus the previous 35 months (or the number of months beginning July 1, 2019, if fewer). The following table is utilized to determine the extent of the performance adjustment:
Over/Under Performance Relative to Index (in basis points)(a) | | Annual Adjustment Rate (in basis points) | |
| +/- 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 the 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 California Municipal Debt Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
For the period April 1, 2021, to March 31, 2022, performance adjustments were $157, less than $1, and less than $(1) for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A, in thousands, respectively. Performance adjustments were 0.02%, 0.01%, and (0.01)% 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.
25
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
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 March 31, 2022, the Fund had no subadvisers.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM also 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, of the Institutional Shares and of the Class A, respectively. Amounts incurred for the year ended March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Sub-Administration fees.
The Fund (as part of the Trust) has entered into an agreement with the Adviser to provide compliance services, 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. The 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 March 31, 2022, 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 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 March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as 12b-1 fees.
26
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
In addition, the Distributor is entitled to receive commissions in connection with sales of Class A. For the year ended March 31, 2022, the Distributor received less than $1 thousand from commissions earned in connection with 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 March 31, 2022, 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 limits for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. Performance adjustments, 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 March 31, 2022, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 0.54%, 0.50%, and 0.80% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A, respectively.
Under the terms of the expense limitation agreement, as 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 Adviser 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 March 31, 2022, 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 repayments are not probable at March 31, 2022.
Expires 2024 | | Expires 2025 | | Total | |
$ | 7 | | | $ | 2 | | | $ | 9 | | |
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 March 31, 2022.
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.
State-Specific Risk — Because the Fund invests primarily in California tax-exempt securities, the Fund is more susceptible to adverse economic, political, and regulatory changes affecting tax-exempt securities issuers in California, such as changes to state laws and policies, economic issues that affect critical industries, large employers, or weakened real estate prices, and existing debt levels and state budget priorities. In addition, the economic affects regarding COVID-19 may exacerbate some or all of these risks. The Fund's performance will be affected by the fiscal and economic health of California and its municipalities and their ability to issue and repay debt. The Fund is more vulnerable to unfavorable developments in California than are funds that invest in municipal securities of multiple states.
27
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
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.
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 — The London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") discontinuation may adversely affect the financial markets generally and the Fund's operations, finances and investments specifically. LIBOR has been the principal floating-rate benchmark in the financial markets, and a large portion of the Fund's assets are tied to LIBOR. However, LIBOR has been or will be discontinued as a floating rate benchmark. The date of discontinuation depends on the LIBOR currency and tenor. With limited exceptions, no new LIBOR obligations will be entered into after December 31, 2021. Existing LIBOR obligations have transitioned or will transition to another benchmark, depending on the LIBOR currency and tenor. For some existing LIBOR-based obligations, the contractual consequences of the discontinuation of LIBOR may not be clear.
Non-LIBOR floating-rate obligations, including Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR")-based obligations, may have returns and values that fluctuate more than those of floating-rate debt obligations that are based on LIBOR or other rates. Also, because SOFR and some alternative floating rates are relatively new market indexes, markets for certain non-LIBOR obligations may never develop or may not be liquid. Market terms for non-LIBOR floating rate obligations, such as the spread over the index reflected in interest-rate provisions, may evolve over time, and prices of non-LIBOR floating rate obligations may be different depending on when they are issued and changing views about correct spread levels.
Various SOFR-based rates, including SOFR-based term rates, and various non-SOFR-based rates are expected to develop in response to the discontinuation of U.S. dollar LIBOR, which may create various risks for the Fund and the financial markets more generally. There are non-LIBOR forward-looking floating rates that are not based on SOFR and that may be considered by participants in the financial
28
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
markets as LIBOR alternatives. Such rates include Ameribor (American Interbank Offered Rate), BSBY (Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index) and BYI (Bank Yield Index). Unlike forward-looking SOFR-based term rates, such rates are intended to reflect a bank credit spread component.
It is not clear how replacement rates for LIBOR — including SOFR-based rates and non-SOFR-based rates — will develop and to what extent they will be used. There is no assurance that these replacement rates will be suitable substitutes for LIBOR, and thus the substitution of such rates for LIBOR could have an adverse effect on the Fund and the financial markets more generally. Concerns about market depth and stability could affect the development of non-SOFR-based term rates, and such rates may create various risks, which may or may not be similar to the risks relating to SOFR.
Market Risk — Overall market risks may affect the value of the Fund. Domestic and international factors such as political events, war, terrorism, trade disputes, inflation rates, interest rate levels and other fiscal and monetary policy changes, cybersecurity incidents, pandemics and other public health crises, sanctions against a particular foreign country, its nationals, businesses or industries and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods, or other catastrophes, may add to instability in global economies and markets generally, and may lead to increased market volatility. Global economies and financial markets are highly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region might adversely affect issuers in another country or region. The impact of these and other factors may be short-term or may last for extended periods.
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 28, 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 March 31, 2022, 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, with LIBOR to be replaced by a different benchmark rate in accordance with the terms of the agreement) on amounts borrowed. Prior to June 28, 2021, the Victory Funds Complex paid an annual commitment fee of 0.15% and an upfront fee of 0.10%. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex paid a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Interest charged to the 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 March 31, 2022.
Interfund Lending:
The Trust and the 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,
29
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Interfund lending fees. As a Lender, interest earned by the Fund, if any, during the period, is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Interfund lending.
The Fund did not utilize or participate in the Facility during the year ended March 31, 2022.
7. 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 March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022 | | Year Ended March 31, 2021 | |

Tax-Exempt Income | | Total Distributions Paid | |
$ | 15,738 | | | $ | 15,738 | | | $ | 16,067 | | | $ | 16,067 | | |
As of March 31, 2022, the components of accumulated earnings (loss) on a tax basis were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Undistributed Tax-Exempt Income | | Distributions Payable | | Accumulated Earnings | | Accumulated Capital and Other Losses | | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | | Total Accumulated Earnings (Loss) | |
$ | 1,318 | | | $ | (1,360 | ) | | $ | (42 | ) | | $ | (4,902 | ) | | $ | 8,278 | | | $ | 3,334 | | |
As of March 31, 2022, 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 | |
$ | 874 | | | $ | 4,028 | | | $ | 4,902 | | |

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA California Bond Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA California Bond Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022, 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, 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 October 1, 2021, through March 31, 2022.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical expenses in the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Considerations of the Board in Continuing the Investment Advisory Agreement
USAA California Bond Fund (the "Fund")
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") held on December 9-10, 2021, the Board, including the Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Trust (the "Independent Trustees"), approved for an annual period the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") between the Trust and Victory Capital Management Inc. (the "Adviser") with respect to the Fund. Prior to the December 9-10, 2021 meeting at which the Advisory Agreement was approved, the Independent Trustees also discussed and considered information regarding the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement at a meeting held on November 19, 2021.
In advance of the foregoing meetings, the Trustees received and considered a variety of information relating to the Advisory Agreement and the Adviser, and were given the opportunity to ask questions and request additional information from management. The information provided to the Board included, among other things: (i) a separate report prepared by an independent third party of mutual fund data, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Fund's investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable investment companies; (ii) information concerning the services rendered to the Fund, as well as information regarding the Adviser's revenues and costs of providing services to the Fund and compensation paid to affiliates of the Adviser; and (iii) information about the Adviser's operations and personnel. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees reviewed the proposed continuance of the Advisory Agreement with management and with experienced independent counsel retained by the Independent Trustees ("Independent Counsel") and received materials from such Independent Counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund in private sessions with Independent Counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
At each regularly scheduled meeting of the Board and its committees, the Board receives and reviews, among other things, information concerning the Fund's performance and related services provided by the Adviser. At the meeting at which the renewal of the Advisory Agreement is considered, particular focus is given to information concerning Fund performance, fees and total expenses as compared to comparable investment companies, and the Adviser's profitability with respect to the Fund. However, the Board noted that the evaluation process with respect to the Adviser is an ongoing one. In this regard, the Board's and its committees' consideration of the Advisory Agreement included information previously received at such meetings. The Board also recognized that the contractual arrangements for the Fund have been reviewed by the Board and discussed with the Adviser in prior years and that the Board's conclusions may be based, in part, on its consideration of these same arrangements in prior years.
Advisory Agreement
After full consideration of a variety of factors, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Advisory Agreement. In approving the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors. Throughout their deliberations, the Independent Trustees were represented and assisted by Independent Counsel.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services — In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Adviser relating to its operations and personnel. The Board also took into account its knowledge of the Adviser's management and the quality of the performance of the Adviser's duties through Board meetings, discussions, and reports during the preceding year. The Board considered the fees paid to the Adviser and the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, as well as other services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates under other agreements, and the personnel who provide these services. In addition to the investment advisory services provided to the Fund, the Adviser and its affiliates provide administrative services, shareholder services, oversight of Fund accounting, marketing services, assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, and other services necessary for the operation of the Fund and the Trust.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Supplemental Information — continued March 31, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
The Board considered the scope of services provided by, and the undertakings required of, the Adviser in connection with those services, including, among other things, maintaining (i) its own and the Fund's compliance programs, (ii) risk management programs, (iii) liquidity risk management programs, and (iv) cybersecurity programs, each of which had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market, and other developments. The Board also considered the significant risks assumed by the Adviser in connection with the services provided to the Fund, including investment, operational, enterprise, litigation, regulatory and compliance risks.
The Board considered the Adviser's management style and the performance of the Adviser's duties under the Advisory Agreement. The Board considered the level and depth of knowledge of the Adviser, including the professional experience and qualifications of its senior and investment personnel, as well as current staffing levels. The allocation of the Fund's brokerage, including the Adviser's process for monitoring "best execution," also was considered. The Adviser's role in coordinating the activities of the Fund's other service providers was also considered. The Board also considered the Adviser's risk management processes. The Board considered the Adviser's financial condition and that it had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide the same scope and high quality of services under the Advisory Agreement. In reviewing the Advisory Agreement, the Board focused on the experience, resources, and strengths of the Adviser and its affiliates in managing the Fund, as well as the other funds in the Trust.
The Board also reviewed the compliance and administrative services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates, including the Adviser's oversight of the Fund's day-to-day operations and oversight of Fund accounting. The Trustees, guided also by information obtained from their experiences as Trustees of the Trust, also focused on the quality of the Adviser's compliance and administrative staff.
Expenses and Performance — In connection with its consideration of the Advisory Agreement, the Board evaluated the Fund's advisory fees and total expense ratio as compared to other open-end investment companies deemed to be comparable to the Fund as determined by the independent third party in its report. The Fund's expenses were compared to (i) a group of investment companies chosen by the independent third party to be comparable to the Fund based upon certain factors, including fund type, comparability of investment objective and classification, sales load type, asset size, and expense components (the "expense group") and (ii) a larger group of investment companies with the same investment classification/objective as the Fund regardless of asset size, excluding outliers (the "expense universe"). Among other data, the Board noted that the Fund's net management fee rate — which includes advisory and administrative services and the effects of any performance adjustment1 was above the medians of its expense group and expense universe. The data indicated that the Fund's total expenses were above the medians of its expense group and expense universe. The Board also took into account the Adviser's current undertakings to maintain expense limitations for the Fund. The Board took into account the various other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates and noted the high quality of services received by the Fund.
In considering the Fund's performance, the Board noted that it reviews at its regularly scheduled meetings information about the Fund's performance results. The Trustees also reviewed various comparative data provided to them in connection with their consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Fund's average annual total returns relative to its Lipper index and other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group by the independent third party in its report (the "performance universe"). The Fund's performance universe consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional open-end investment companies with the same classification/objective as the Fund regardless of asset size or primary channel of distribution. This comparison indicated that, among other data, the Fund's performance was below the average of its performance universe and its Lipper index for the one-year period ended September 30, 2021, and was above the average of its performance universe and its Lipper index for the three-, five- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2021.
Compensation and Profitability — The Board took into consideration the level and method of computing the management fee. The information considered by the Board included operating profit margin information for the Adviser's business as a whole. The Board also received and considered profitability information related to the management revenues from the Fund. This information included a review of the methodology used in the
1 The Adviser previously agreed that no performance adjustment (positive or negative) would be made to the amount payable to the Adviser from July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020.

allocation of certain costs to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed the profitability of the Adviser's relationship with the Fund before tax expenses. The Board was also provided with a profitability analysis of other publicly traded asset managers prepared by an independent information service. In reviewing the overall profitability of the management fee to the Adviser, the Board also considered the fact that the Adviser and its affiliates provide shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Fund for which they receive compensation. The Board also considered the possible direct and indirect benefits to the Adviser from its relationship with the Trust, including that the Adviser may derive reputational and other benefits from its association with the Fund. The Trustees recognized that the Adviser should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits in exchange for the level of services it provides to the Fund and the entrepreneurial and other risks that it assumes as Adviser.
Economies of Scale — The Board noted that the Fund has advisory fee breakpoints that allow the Fund to participate in economies of scale and that such economies of scale were currently reflected in the advisory fee. The Board also considered the fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements by the Adviser. The Board also considered the effect of the change in size, if any, of each of the Fund's classes on its performance and fees, noting that the Fund may realize other economies of scale if assets increase proportionally more than expenses. The Board determined that the current investment management fee structure was reasonable.
Conclusions — The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Fund's Advisory Agreement with the Adviser: (i) the Adviser has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Advisory Agreement; (ii) the Adviser maintains an appropriate compliance program; (iii) the overall performance of the Fund is reasonable in relation to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant indices; (iv) the Fund's advisory expenses are reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Adviser; and (v) the Adviser's and its affiliates' level of profitability from their relationship with the Fund is reasonable in light of the nature and high quality of services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates and the type of fund. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that continuation of the Advisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

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 11, 2022, 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,
Just as the calendar year ended, investors were quickly reminded that financial markets go up and down. A host of worries have recently conspired to disturb the markets. Inflation data has been running hotter than expected; the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") has embarked on a new rate-hike cycle. And, of course, we're all watching a terrible war unfold in Eastern Europe. All these issues have ratcheted up uncertainties and market volatility in both stock and bond markets.
Given these concerns, it's no surprise that sentiment has turned negative and investors have become more focused on risk management and downside protection. We believe it's important to look back at financial markets through a wider lens. Despite the recent turmoil and the headwinds of the past year — including new COVID-19 variants, disruptions among global supply chains, and rising interest rates — the S&P 500® Index, the bell-weather proxy for our domestic stock market, once again delivered positive annual total returns during the annual reporting period.
Still, underlying this positive performance were interesting differences among investment styles and market capitalizations. In general, large-cap stocks outperformed smaller capitalization companies for the full annual reporting period. Meanwhile, growth-oriented styles led value-oriented investments during the first half of our annual reporting period, while the reverse was true during the back half of the year (as measured by the Russell family of indices). Perhaps this reflects investors' expectations for future higher interest rates and corresponding higher borrowing costs?
There were other notable subplots, too. During much of 2021 we watched crypto assets captivate investors, only to see them cycle up and down several times as we all sought to grasp the potential of their emerging blockchain technologies. Also intriguing was how the biotech sector struggled mightily for much of the past year despite the success and fanfare surrounding the COVID-19 vaccines. Meanwhile, rising oil prices fueled impressive gains across the energy landscape, and other commodities (including gold) helped fuel returns in some investors' diversified portfolios. These were just a few of the themes of the past year.
Despite the recent pullback, the S&P 500 Index still registered an impressive annual total return of nearly 16% for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2022. Over this same annual period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 58 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point), thanks to the Fed's stated intentions to shift to a less accommodative monetary policy. This was evidenced in March 2022 when the Fed raised the target federal funds rate by 25 basis points, the first rate hike in three years. At the end of our reporting period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury was trending higher and finished at 2.32%.
Although we were encouraged by another resilient year for financial markets, we fully acknowledge that unusual events of recent times — as well as the heightened volatility of early 2022 — may make investors uneasy. However, our experience managing portfolios through various economic cycles (including more than one unusual market crisis) has taught us to remain calm in the face of market turmoil. It is our view that, a long-term perspective, a well-diversified portfolio across asset

classes and investment types, and a clear understanding of individual risk tolerances are some of the key ingredients for staying the course and progressing on investment goals.
Of course, no one knows for certain what the future will bring. We are already facing a new and less accommodative Fed, which has unequivocally stated its intent to harness the recent elevated inflation readings. As a result, we believe interest rates appear ready to increase further. Labor shortages, continuing supply chain issues, elevated commodity prices, and the Russia-Ukraine war are among the headwinds investors are now navigating. There will be other challenges ahead, with some yet to be identified.
Thus, we cannot tell you with any certainty what markets will do in the future, but we can assure you that the investment professionals at all our independent franchises continually monitor the market environment and work hard to position portfolios opportunistically no matter what the markets bring.

Manager's Commentary
(Unaudited)
• What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
Tax-exempt bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index, generated negative returns during the 12-month reporting period ended March 31, 2022, due largely to rising municipal bond yields in the last quarter of the fiscal year. (Bond prices and yields move in opposite directions.)
The reporting period began with the municipal market fighting the headwinds of potentially higher U.S. Treasury rates and inflation, but with several notable tailwinds in support to include: heavy fund flows into tax-exempt mutual funds, investor expectations of increasing tax rates, and stimulus money flowing to municipal borrowers. During the first three quarters of the fiscal year, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index returned 1.87%.
The municipal market turned meaningfully negative in the first quarter of 2022. The Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index returned -6.23% for the quarter. The negative returns were driven by a material increase in Treasury and AAA Municipal Bond yields. These rates rose significantly in response to the U.S. Federal Reserve's initiation of monetary tightening. Negative returns were also driven by significant outflows of assets from municipal bond mutual funds.
At the end of the reporting period, the yield on the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index was 2.60%, which was notably higher than at the start of the fiscal year (1.18% on March 31, 2021). While the increase in rates detracted from performance during this fiscal year, we believe the higher rates should drive higher returns over the long-term.
• How did the USAA New York Bond 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 March 31, 2022, the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A had a total return (at net asset value) of -3.40%, -3.39%, and -3.56%, respectively, versus an average return of -4.09% for the funds in the Lipper New York Municipal Debt Funds category. This compares to returns of -3.93% for the Lipper New York Municipal Debt Funds Index and -4.47% for the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index.
• What are the conditions in the state of New York?
New York State benefits from a sizable and diverse economic base that is anchored by New York City, a world center for trade and culture. A population of nearly twenty million with per capita income above the national norm provides additional strength. Employment, which is still below the pre-pandemic level, is steadily increasing while overall economic growth remains positive, albeit trailing the nation.
The state's financial performance continues to be favorably driven by solid tax collections and sizable federal aid related to the pandemic. Budgetary reserves are also sound providing an additional degree of flexibility. Fiscal management has historically been prudent due to an institutionalized budget process, including a multi-year financial plan

and quarterly adjustments. Outstanding debt and pension liabilities are manageable relative to the state's economic resources. Potential contingent liabilities are noted as vital agencies, such as the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, may require a degree of assistance due to pandemic generated operating stress.
General obligation bonds issued by the state of New York carry strong ratings of Aa1 (stable outlook) by Moody's, AA+ (stable outlook) by Standard & Poor's, and AA+ (stable outlook) by Fitch.
• What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?
In keeping with our investment approach, we continued to focus on income generation. The Fund's long-term income distribution, not its price appreciation, accounts for most of its total return.
Our commitment to independent credit research continued to help us identify attractive opportunities for the Fund. We employ fundamental analysis that emphasizes an issuer's ability and willingness to repay its debt. Through our credit research, we strive both to recognize relative value and to avoid potential pitfalls, which is especially important in volatile times like the present. As always, we worked with our in-house team of analysts to select investments for the Fund on a bond-by-bond basis. Our team continuously monitors all the holdings in the Fund's portfolio.
The Fund continues to hold a diversified portfolio of longer-term, primarily investment- grade municipal bonds. To limit exposure to an unexpected event, the Fund is diversified by sector, issuer, and geography. In addition, we avoid bonds subject to the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals.
Thank you for allowing us to assist you with your investment needs.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements March 31, 2022 | |
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 45 funds and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with no par value.
The accompanying financial statements are those of the USAA New York Bond Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers three classes of shares: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A. 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 U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("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 March 31, 2022 | |
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 net asset value ("NAV") to be more reliable than it otherwise would be.
A summary of the valuations as of March 31, 2022, 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 | |
Other Equity Interests | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 255 | | | $ | 255 | | |
Municipal Bonds | | | — | | | | 191,488 | | | | — | | | | 191,488 | | |
Total | | $ | — | | | $ | 191,488 | | | $ | 255 | | | $ | 191,743 | | |
For the year ended March 31, 2022, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
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. Payments 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 or 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:
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Fund has a tax year end of March 31.
For the year ended March 31, 2022, the Fund did not incur any income tax, interest, or penalties, and has recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain tax positions.
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 March 31, 2022, 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) | |
$ | 10,355 | | | $ | 10,900 | | | $ | — | | |
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. Purchases and Sales:
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) for the year ended March 31, 2022, were as follows for the Fund (amounts in thousands):
Excluding U.S. Government Securities | |
Purchases | | Sales | |
$ | 19,705 | | | $ | 28,362 | | |
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 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.
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 March 31, 2022, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Investment advisory fees.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
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 the respective class' performance to that of the Lipper New York Municipal Debt Funds Index. The Lipper New York Municipal Debt Funds Index tracks the total return performance of the largest funds within the Lipper New York Municipal Debt Funds category.
The performance period for each share class consists of the current month plus the previous 35 months (or the number of months beginning July 1, 2019, if fewer). The following table is utilized to determine the extent of the performance adjustment:
Over/Under Performance Relative to Index (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 the 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 New York Municipal Debt Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
For the period April 1, 2021, to March 31, 2022, performance adjustments were $14, less than $1, and $(1) for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A, in thousands, respectively. Performance adjustments were 0.01%, less than 0.01%, and (0.05)% 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 March 31, 2022, the Fund had no subadvisers.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM also 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, of the Institutional Shares, and of the Class A, respectively.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
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 limits for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. Performance adjustments, 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 March 31, 2022, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 0.65%, 0.61%, and 0.90% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A, respectively.
Under the terms of the expense limitation agreement, as 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 Adviser 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 March 31, 2022, 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 repayments are not probable at March 31, 2022.
Expires 2024 | | Expires 2025 | | Total | |
$ | 7 | | | $ | 5 | | | $ | 12 | | |
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 March 31, 2022.
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.
State-Specific Risk — Because the Fund invests primarily in New York tax-exempt securities, the Fund is more susceptible to adverse economic, political, and regulatory changes affecting tax-exempt securities issuers in New York to pay interest or repay principal, which may impact the Fund's performance. The Fund is more vulnerable to unfavorable developments in New York than are funds that invest in municipal securities of many states. While New York State's economy is broad, it does have concentrations in the financial services industry and may be sensitive to economic problems affecting that industry. Certain issuers of New York municipal bonds have experienced serious financial difficulties in the past, and reoccurrence of these difficulties may impair the ability of certain New York issuers to pay principal or interest on their obligations. The financial health of New York City affects that of New York State; and when New York City experiences financial difficulty, it may have an adverse affect on New York municipal bonds held by the Fund. The growth rate of New York State has at times been somewhat slower than the nation overall. The economic and financial condition of New York State also may be affected by various financial, social, economic, and political factors. In addition, the economic affects regarding COVID-19 may exacerbate some or all of these 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.
25
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
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.
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 — The London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") discontinuation may adversely affect the financial markets generally and the Fund's operations, finances and investments specifically. LIBOR has been the principal floating-rate benchmark in the financial markets, and a large portion of the Fund's assets are tied to LIBOR. However, LIBOR has been or will be discontinued as a floating rate benchmark. The date of discontinuation depends on the LIBOR currency and tenor. With limited exceptions, no new LIBOR obligations will be entered into after December 31, 2021. Existing LIBOR obligations have transitioned or will transition to another benchmark, depending on the LIBOR currency and tenor. For some existing LIBOR-based obligations, the contractual consequences of the discontinuation of LIBOR may not be clear.
Non-LIBOR floating-rate obligations, including Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR")-based obligations, may have returns and values that fluctuate more than those of floating-rate debt obligations that are based on LIBOR or other rates. Also, because SOFR and some alternative floating rates are relatively new market indexes, markets for certain non-LIBOR obligations may never develop or may not be liquid. Market terms for non-LIBOR floating rate obligations, such as the spread over the index reflected in interest-rate provisions, may evolve over time, and prices of non-LIBOR floating rate obligations may be different depending on when they are issued and changing views about correct spread levels.
Various SOFR-based rates, including SOFR-based term rates, and various non-SOFR-based rates are expected to develop in response to the discontinuation of U.S. dollar LIBOR, which may create various risks for the Fund and the financial markets more generally. There are non-LIBOR forward-looking floating rates that are not based on SOFR and that may be considered by participants in the financial markets as LIBOR alternatives. Such rates include Ameribor (American Interbank Offered Rate), BSBY (Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index) and BYI (Bank Yield Index). Unlike forward-looking SOFRbased term rates, such rates are intended to reflect a bank credit spread component.
It is not clear how replacement rates for LIBOR — including SOFR-based rates and non-SOFR-based rates — will develop and to what extent they will be used. There is no assurance that these replacement rates will be suitable substitutes for LIBOR, and thus the substitution of such rates for LIBOR could
26
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
have an adverse effect on the Fund and the financial markets more generally. Concerns about market depth and stability could affect the development of non-SOFR-based term rates, and such rates may create various risks, which may or may not be similar to the risks relating to SOFR.
Market Risk — Overall market risks may affect the value of the Fund. Domestic and international factors such as political events, war, terrorism, trade disputes, inflation rates, interest rate levels and other fiscal and monetary policy changes, cybersecurity incidents, pandemics and other public health crises, sanctions against a particular foreign country, its nationals, businesses or industries and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods, or other catastrophes, may add to instability in global economies and markets generally, and may lead to increased market volatility. Global economies and financial markets are highly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region might adversely affect issuers in another country or region. The impact of these and other factors may be short-term or may last for extended periods.
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 28, 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 March 31, 2022, 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, with LIBOR to be replaced by a different benchmark rate in accordance with the terms of the agreement) on amounts borrowed. Prior to June 28, 2021, the Victory Funds Complex paid an annual commitment fee of 0.15% and an upfront fee of 0.10%. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex paid a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Interest charged to the 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 March 31, 2022.
Interfund Lending:
The Trust and the 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 reflected on the Statement of Operations under Interfund lending.
The Fund did not utilize or participate in the Facility during the year ended March 31, 2022.

7. 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 March 31, 2022, on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, there were no permanent book-to-tax difference reclassification adjustments.
The tax character of distributions paid during the tax years ended, as noted below, were as follows (total distributions paid may differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because, for tax purposes, dividends are recognized when actually paid) (amounts in thousands):

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA New York Bond Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA New York Bond Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more Victory Capital investment companies since 1995.

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 October 1, 2021, through March 31, 2022.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical expenses in the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| | Beginning Account Value 10/1/21 | | Actual Ending Account Value 3/31/22 | | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 3/31/22 | | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 10/1/21- 3/31/22* | | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 10/1/21- 3/31/22* | | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 10/1/21- 3/31/22 | |

Considerations of the Board in Continuing the Investment Advisory Agreement
USAA New York Bond Fund (the "Fund")
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") held on December 9-10, 2021, the Board, including the Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Trust (the "Independent Trustees"), approved for an annual period the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") between the Trust and Victory Capital Management Inc. (the "Adviser") with respect to the Fund. Prior to the December 9-10, 2021 meeting at which the Advisory Agreement was approved, the Independent Trustees also discussed and considered information regarding the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement at a meeting held on November 19, 2021.
In advance of the foregoing meetings, the Trustees received and considered a variety of information relating to the Advisory Agreement and the Adviser, and were given the opportunity to ask questions and request additional information from management. The information provided to the Board included, among other things: (i) a separate report prepared by an independent third party of mutual fund data, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Fund's investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable investment companies; (ii) information concerning the services rendered to the Fund, as well as information regarding the Adviser's revenues and costs of providing services to the Fund and compensation paid to affiliates of the Adviser; and (iii) information about the Adviser's operations and personnel. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees reviewed the proposed continuance of the Advisory Agreement with management and with experienced independent counsel retained by the Independent Trustees ("Independent Counsel") and received materials from such Independent Counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund in private sessions with Independent Counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
At each regularly scheduled meeting of the Board and its committees, the Board receives and reviews, among other things, information concerning the Fund's performance and related services provided by the Adviser. At the meeting at which the renewal of the Advisory Agreement is considered, particular focus is given to information concerning Fund performance, fees and total expenses as compared to comparable investment companies, and the Adviser's profitability with respect to the Fund. However, the Board noted that the evaluation process with respect to the Adviser is an ongoing one. In this regard, the Board's and its committees' consideration of the Advisory Agreement included information previously received at such meetings. The Board also recognized that the contractual arrangements for the Fund have been reviewed by the Board and discussed with the Adviser in prior years and that the Board's conclusions may be based, in part, on its consideration of these same arrangements in prior years.
Advisory Agreement
After full consideration of a variety of factors, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Advisory Agreement. In approving the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors. Throughout their deliberations, the Independent Trustees were represented and assisted by Independent Counsel.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services — In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Adviser relating to its operations and personnel. The Board also took into account its knowledge of the Adviser's management and the quality of the performance of the Adviser's duties through Board meetings, discussions, and reports during the preceding year. The Board considered the fees paid to the Adviser and the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, as well as other services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates under other agreements, and the personnel who provide these services. In addition to the investment advisory services provided to the Fund, the Adviser and its affiliates provide administrative services, shareholder
37

(Unaudited)
services, oversight of Fund accounting, marketing services, assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, and other services necessary for the operation of the Fund and the Trust.
The Board considered the scope of services provided by, and the undertakings required of, the Adviser in connection with those services, including, among other things, maintaining (i) its own and the Fund's compliance programs, (ii) risk management programs, (iii) liquidity risk management programs, and (iv) cybersecurity programs, each of which had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market, and other developments. The Board also considered the significant risks assumed by the Adviser in connection with the services provided to the Fund, including investment, operational, enterprise, litigation, regulatory and compliance risks.
The Board considered the Adviser's management style and the performance of the Adviser's duties under the Advisory Agreement. The Board considered the level and depth of knowledge of the Adviser, including the professional experience and qualifications of its senior and investment personnel, as well as current staffing levels. The allocation of the Fund's brokerage, including the Adviser's process for monitoring "best execution," also was considered. The Adviser's role in coordinating the activities of the Fund's other service providers was also considered. The Board also considered the Adviser's risk management processes. The Board considered the Adviser's financial condition and that it had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide the same scope and high quality of services under the Advisory Agreement. In reviewing the Advisory Agreement, the Board focused on the experience, resources, and strengths of the Adviser and its affiliates in managing the Fund, as well as the other funds in the Trust.
The Board also reviewed the compliance and administrative services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates, including the Adviser's oversight of the Fund's day-to-day operations and oversight of Fund accounting. The Trustees, guided also by information obtained from their experiences as Trustees of the Trust, also focused on the quality of the Adviser's compliance and administrative staff.
Expenses and Performance — In connection with its consideration of the Advisory Agreement, the Board evaluated the Fund's advisory fees and total expense ratio as compared to other open-end investment companies deemed to be comparable to the Fund as determined by the independent third party in its report. The Fund's expenses were compared to (i) a group of investment companies chosen by the independent third party to be comparable to the Fund based upon certain factors, including fund type, comparability of investment objective and classification, sales load type, asset size, and expense components (the "expense group") and (ii) a larger group of investment companies with the same investment classification/objective as the Fund regardless of asset size, excluding outliers (the "expense universe"). Among other data, the Board noted that the Fund's net management fee rate — which includes advisory and administrative services and the effects of any performance adjustment1, as well as any fee waivers and reimbursements — was above the median of its expense group and below the median of its expense universe. The data indicated that the Fund's total expenses, including after any reimbursements, were below the medians of its expense group and expense universe. The Board also took into account the Adviser's current undertakings to maintain expense limitations for the Fund. The Board took into account the various other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates and noted the high quality of services received by the Fund.
In considering the Fund's performance, the Board noted that it reviews at its regularly scheduled meetings information about the Fund's performance results. The Trustees also reviewed various comparative data provided to them in connection with their consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Fund's average annual total returns relative to its Lipper index and other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group by the independent third party in its report (the "performance universe"). The Fund's performance universe consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional open-end investment companies with the same classification/objective as the Fund regardless of asset size or primary channel of distribution. This comparison indicated that, among other data, the Fund's performance was below the average of its performance universe for the one- and three-year periods ended September 30, 2021, and was above the average of its performance universe for the five- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2021, and was below its Lipper index for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2021.
1 The Adviser previously agreed that no performance adjustment (positive or negative) would be made to the amount payable to the Adviser from July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020.

Compensation and Profitability — The Board took into consideration the level and method of computing the management fee. The information considered by the Board included operating profit margin information for the Adviser's business as a whole. The Board also received and considered profitability information related to the management revenues from the Fund. This information included a review of the methodology used in the allocation of certain costs to the Fund. In considering the profitability data with respect to the Fund, the Trustees noted that the Adviser waived a portion of its management fees and/or reimbursed certain expenses with respect to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed the profitability of the Adviser's relationship with the Fund before tax expenses. The Board was also provided with a profitability analysis of other publicly traded asset managers prepared by an independent information service. In reviewing the overall profitability of the management fee to the Adviser, the Board also considered the fact that the Adviser and its affiliates provide shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Fund for which they receive compensation. The Board also considered the possible direct and indirect benefits to the Adviser from its relationship with the Trust, including that the Adviser may derive reputational and other benefits from its association with the Fund. The Trustees recognized that the Adviser should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits in exchange for the level of services it provides to the Fund and the entrepreneurial and other risks that it assumes as Adviser.
Economies of Scale — The Board noted that the Fund has advisory fee breakpoints that allow the Fund to participate in economies of scale and that such economies of scale were currently reflected in the advisory fee. The Board also considered the fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements by the Adviser. The Board also considered the effect of the change in size, if any, of each of the Fund's classes on its performance and fees, noting that the Fund may realize other economies of scale if assets increase proportionally more than expenses. The Board determined that the current investment management fee structure was reasonable.
Conclusions — The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Fund's Advisory Agreement with the Adviser: (i) the Adviser has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Advisory Agreement; (ii) the Adviser maintains an appropriate compliance program; (iii) the overall performance of the Fund is reasonable in relation to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant indices; (iv) the Fund's advisory expenses are reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Adviser; and (v) the Adviser's and its affiliates' level of profitability from their relationship with the Fund is reasonable in light of the nature and high quality of services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates and the type of fund. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that continuation of the Advisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

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 11, 2022, 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,
Just as the calendar year ended, investors were quickly reminded that financial markets go up and down. A host of worries have recently conspired to disturb the markets. Inflation data has been running hotter than expected; the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") has embarked on a new rate-hike cycle. And, of course, we're all watching a terrible war unfold in Eastern Europe. All these issues have ratcheted up uncertainties and market volatility in both stock and bond markets.
Given these concerns, it's no surprise that sentiment has turned negative and investors have become more focused on risk management and downside protection. We believe it's important to look back at financial markets through a wider lens. Despite the recent turmoil and the headwinds of the past year — including new COVID-19 variants, disruptions among global supply chains, and rising interest rates — the S&P 500® Index, the bell-weather proxy for our domestic stock market, once again delivered positive annual total returns during the annual reporting period.
Still, underlying this positive performance were interesting differences among investment styles and market capitalizations. In general, large-cap stocks outperformed smaller capitalization companies for the full annual reporting period. Meanwhile, growth-oriented styles led value-oriented investments during the first half of our annual reporting period, while the reverse was true during the back half of the year (as measured by the Russell family of indices). Perhaps this reflects investors' expectations for future higher interest rates and corresponding higher borrowing costs?
There were other notable subplots, too. During much of 2021 we watched crypto assets captivate investors, only to see them cycle up and down several times as we all sought to grasp the potential of their emerging blockchain technologies. Also intriguing was how the biotech sector struggled mightily for much of the past year despite the success and fanfare surrounding the COVID-19 vaccines. Meanwhile, rising oil prices fueled impressive gains across the energy landscape, and other commodities (including gold) helped fuel returns in some investors' diversified portfolios. These were just a few of the themes of the past year.
Despite the recent pullback, the S&P 500 Index still registered an impressive annual total return of nearly 16% for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2022. Over this same annual period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 58 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point), thanks to the Fed's stated intentions to shift to a less accommodative monetary policy. This was evidenced in March 2022 when the Fed raised the target federal funds rate by 25 basis points, the first rate hike in three years. At the end of our reporting period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury was trending higher and finished at 2.32%.
Although we were encouraged by another resilient year for financial markets, we fully acknowledge that unusual events of recent times — as well as the heightened volatility of early 2022 — may make investors uneasy. However, our experience managing portfolios through various economic cycles (including more than one unusual market crisis) has taught us to remain calm in the face of market turmoil. It is our view that, a long-term perspective, a well-diversified portfolio across asset
2
classes and investment types, and a clear understanding of individual risk tolerances are some of the key ingredients for staying the course and progressing on investment goals.
Of course, no one knows for certain what the future will bring. We are already facing a new and less accommodative Fed, which has unequivocally stated its intent to harness the recent elevated inflation readings. As a result, we believe interest rates appear ready to increase further. Labor shortages, continuing supply chain issues, elevated commodity prices, and the Russia-Ukraine war are among the headwinds investors are now navigating. There will be other challenges ahead, with some yet to be identified.
Thus, we cannot tell you with any certainty what markets will do in the future, but we can assure you that the investment professionals at all our independent franchises continually monitor the market environment and work hard to position portfolios opportunistically no matter what the markets bring.
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, we encourage you to contact our Representatives. Call (800) 235-8396 or visit our website at www.vcm.com.

Manager's Commentary
(Unaudited)
• What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
Tax-exempt bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index, generated negative returns during the 12-month reporting period ended March 31, 2022, due largely to rising municipal bond yields in the last quarter of the fiscal year. (Bond prices and yields move in opposite directions.)
The reporting period began with the municipal market fighting the headwinds of potentially higher U.S. Treasury rates and inflation, but with several notable tailwinds including heavy fund flows into tax-exempt mutual funds, investor expectations of increasing tax rates, and stimulus money flowing to municipal borrowers. During the first three quarters of the fiscal year, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index returned 1.87%.
The municipal market turned meaningfully negative in the first quarter of 2022. The Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index returned -6.23% for the quarter. The negative returns were driven by a material increase in Treasury and AAA Municipal Bond yields. These rates rose significantly in response to the U.S. Federal Reserve's initiation of monetary tightening. Negative returns were also driven by significant outflows of assets from municipal bond mutual funds.
At the end of the reporting period, the yield on the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index was 2.60%, which was notably higher than at the start of the fiscal year (1.18% on March 31, 2021). While the increase in rates detracted from performance during this fiscal year, we believe the higher rates should drive higher returns over the long term.
• How did the USAA Virginia Bond 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 March 31, 2022, the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A had a total return (at net asset value) of -3.64%, -3.61%, and -3.78% respectively, versus an average return of -4.23% for the funds in the Lipper Virginia Municipal Debt Funds category. This compares to returns of -4.07% for the Lipper Virginia Municipal Debt Funds Index and -4.47% for the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index.
• What are the conditions in the Commonwealth of Virginia?
The Commonwealth of Virginia appears to continue to steadily recover from the economic and fiscal impact felt at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Unemployment in Virginia is still above the pre-pandemic low of 2.5% in February 2020. However, preliminary February unemployment numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics are at 3.2% versus 3.8% for the United States, down from the high of 11.6% in April 2020, and a slight improvement from 3.3% in January 2022.
In the fourth quarter of 2021, gross domestic product ("GDP") grew 6% (annualized) vs. the U.S. growth of 6.9%, ranking Virginia 25th by state. GDP growth also points to a strong

Manager's Commentary (continued)
recovery in Virginia, though below that of the United States. The largest contributions to GDP growth came from the information sector, followed by the professional, scientific, and technical services sector, a sector that is rapidly growing in Virginia. Virginia's above-average government and military presence have helped stabilize its GDP.
Virginia's fiscal 2022 year year-to-date results affirm Virginia's solid financial position. Virginia's year-to-date general fund revenue collections were $16.5 billion for the period July 2021-February 2022, a 13.6% increase over prior year revenue collections for the same period. Virginia had $12.4 billion in cash and investments available as of February 2022 (49% of the 2022 general fund budget).
We continue to view the underlying credit quality of Virginia as exceptionally strong. Presently Virginia remains rated AAA by Fitch, Moody's, and Standard & Poor's.
• What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?
In keeping with our investment approach, we continued to focus on income generation. The Fund's long-term income distribution, not its price appreciation, accounts for most of its total return. Because of the Fund's income orientation, it has a higher allocation to BBB and A rated categories when compared to its peer group.
Our commitment to independent credit research continued to help us identify attractive opportunities for the Fund. We employ fundamental analysis that emphasizes an issuer's ability and willingness to repay its debt. Through our credit research, we strive both to recognize relative value and to avoid potential pitfalls, which we believe is especially important in volatile times like the present. As always, we worked with our in-house team of analysts to select investments for the Fund on a bond-by-bond basis. Our team continuously monitors all the holdings in the Fund's portfolio.
The Fund continues to hold a diversified portfolio of longer-term, primarily investment- grade municipal bonds. To limit exposure to an unexpected event, the Fund is diversified by sector, issuer, and geography. In addition, we avoid bonds subject to the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals.
Thank you for allowing us to assist you with your investment needs.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements March 31, 2022 | |
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 45 funds and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with no par value.
The accompanying financial statements are those of the USAA Virginia Bond Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers three classes of shares: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A. 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 U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund follows the specialized accounting and reporting requirements under GAAP that are applicable to investment companies under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.
Investment Valuation:
The Fund records investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Fund's investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities or interest rates applicable to those securities, etc.)
• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuation techniques are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with entering into those investments.
Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or the "Adviser") has established the Pricing and Liquidity Committee (the "Committee"), and subject to the Trust's Board of Trustees' (the "Board") oversight, the Committee administers and oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures, which are approved by the Board.
22
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
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 net asset value ("NAV") to be more reliable than it otherwise would be.
A summary of the valuations as of March 31, 2022, 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 | |
Municipal Bonds | | $ | — | | | $ | 656,811 | | | $ | 2,473 | | | $ | 659,284 | | |
Total | | $ | — | | | $ | 656,811 | | | $ | 2,473 | | | $ | 659,284 | | |
For the year ended March 31, 2022, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
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. Payments 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 or 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:
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Fund has a tax year end of March 31.
For the year ended March 31, 2022, the Fund did not incur any income tax, interest, or penalties, and has recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain tax positions.
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 March 31, 2022, 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) | |
$ | 7,400 | | | $ | 35,350 | | | $ | — | | |
Fees Paid Indirectly:

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 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.
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 March 31, 2022, 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 the respective class' performance to that of the Lipper Virginia Municipal Debt Funds Index. The Lipper Virginia Municipal Debt Funds Index tracks the total return performance of the largest funds within the Lipper Virginia Municipal Debt Funds category.
The performance period for each share class consists of the current month plus the previous 35 months (or the number of months beginning July 1, 2019, if fewer). The following table is utilized to determine the extent of the performance adjustment:
Over/Under Performance Relative to Index (in basis points)(a) | | Annual Adjustment Rate (in basis points) | |
| +/- 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 the 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 Virginia Municipal Debt Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
For the period April 1, 2021, to March 31, 2022, performance adjustments were $(24), less than $1, and $(6) for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A, in thousands, respectively. Performance adjustments were less than (0.01)%, less than 0.01%, and (0.03)% 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 March 31, 2022, the Fund had no subadvisers.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM also 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, of the Institutional Shares, and of the Class A, respectively.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
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 limits for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. Performance adjustments, 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 March 31, 2022, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 0.54%, 0.50%, and 0.80% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A, respectively.
Under the terms of the expense limitation agreement, as 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 Adviser 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 March 31, 2022, 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 repayments are not probable at March 31, 2022.
Expires 2023 | | Expires 2024 | | Expires 2025 | | Total | |
$ | 1 | | | $ | 15 | | | $ | 17 | | | $ | 33 | | |
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 March 31, 2022.
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.
State-Specific Risk — Because the Fund invests primarily in Virginia tax-exempt securities, the Fund is more susceptible to adverse economic, political, and regulatory changes affecting tax-exempt securities issuers in Virginia, such as changes to state laws and policies, economic issues that affect critical industries, large employers, or weakened real estate prices, and existing debt levels and state budget priorities. In addition, the economic affects regarding COVID-19 may exacerbate some or all of these risks. The Fund's performance will be affected by the fiscal and economic health of Virginia and its municipalities and their ability to issue and repay debt. The Fund is more vulnerable to unfavorable developments in Virginia than are funds that invest in municipal securities of multiple states.
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.
27
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
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.
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.
Market Risk — Overall market risks may affect the value of the Fund. Domestic and international factors such as political events, war, terrorism, trade disputes, inflation rates, interest rate levels and other fiscal and monetary policy changes, cybersecurity incidents, pandemics and other public health crises, sanctions against a particular foreign country, its nationals, businesses or industries and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods, or other catastrophes, may add to instability in global economies and markets generally, and may lead to increased market volatility. Global economies and financial markets are highly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region might adversely affect issuers in another country or region. The impact of these and other factors may be short-term or may last for extended periods.
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 28, 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 March 31, 2022, 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 London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus one percent, with LIBOR to be replaced by a different benchmark rate in accordance with the terms of the agreement) on amounts borrowed. Prior to June 28, 2021, the Victory Funds Complex paid an annual commitment fee of 0.15% and an upfront fee of 0.10%. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex paid a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Interest charged to the Fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Line of credit fees.
28
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
The Fund had no borrowings under the Line of Credit agreement during the year ended March 31, 2022.
Interfund Lending:
The Trust and the 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 reflected on the Statement of Operations under Interfund lending.
The Fund did not utilize or participate in the Facility during the year ended March 31, 2022.
7. 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 March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022 | | Year Ended March 31, 2021 | |
| | Distributions Paid From | |
| | Distributions Paid From | |

29
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
As of March 31, 2022, the components of accumulated earnings (loss) on a tax basis were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Undistributed Tax-Exempt Income | | Distributions Payable | | Accumulated Earnings | | Accumulated Capital and Other Losses | | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)* | | Total Accumulated Earnings (Loss) | |
$ | 2,708 | | | $ | (1,485 | ) | | $ | 1,223 | | | $ | (9,795 | ) | | $ | (8,577 | ) | | $ | (17,149 | ) | |
* The difference between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to defaulted bond adjustments.
As of March 31, 2022, 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 | |
$ | 1,175 | | | $ | 8,620 | | | $ | 9,795 | | |
As of March 31, 2022, 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 Virginia Bond Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA Virginia Bond Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more Victory Capital investment companies since 1995.

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 October 1, 2021, through March 31, 2022.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical expenses in the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| | Beginning Account Value 10/1/21 | | Actual Ending Account Value 3/31/22 | | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 3/31/22 | | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 10/1/21- 3/31/22* | | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 10/1/21- 3/31/22* | | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 10/1/21- 3/31/22 | |
Fund Shares | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 950.70 | | | $ | 1,022.29 | | | $ | 2.58 | | | $ | 2.67 | | | | 0.53 | % | |

Considerations of the Board in Continuing the Investment Advisory Agreement
USAA Virginia Bond Fund (the "Fund")
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") held on December 9-10, 2021, the Board, including the Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Trust (the "Independent Trustees"), approved for an annual period the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") between the Trust and Victory Capital Management Inc. (the "Adviser") with respect to the Fund. Prior to the December 9-10, 2021 meeting at which the Advisory Agreement was approved, the Independent Trustees also discussed and considered information regarding the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement at a meeting held on November 19, 2021.
In advance of the foregoing meetings, the Trustees received and considered a variety of information relating to the Advisory Agreement and the Adviser, and were given the opportunity to ask questions and request additional information from management. The information provided to the Board included, among other things: (i) a separate report prepared by an independent third party of mutual fund data, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Fund's investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable investment companies; (ii) information concerning the services rendered to the Fund, as well as information regarding the Adviser's revenues and costs of providing services to the Fund and compensation paid to affiliates of the Adviser; and (iii) information about the Adviser's operations and personnel. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees reviewed the proposed continuance of the Advisory Agreement with management and with experienced independent counsel retained by the Independent Trustees ("Independent Counsel") and received materials from such Independent Counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund in private sessions with Independent Counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
At each regularly scheduled meeting of the Board and its committees, the Board receives and reviews, among other things, information concerning the Fund's performance and related services provided by the Adviser. At the meeting at which the renewal of the Advisory Agreement is considered, particular focus is given to information concerning Fund performance, fees and total expenses as compared to comparable investment companies, and the Adviser's profitability with respect to the Fund. However, the Board noted that the evaluation process with respect to the Adviser is an ongoing one. In this regard, the Board's and its committees' consideration of the Advisory Agreement included information previously received at such meetings. The Board also recognized that the contractual arrangements for the Fund have been reviewed by the Board and discussed with the Adviser in prior years and that the Board's conclusions may be based, in part, on its consideration of these same arrangements in prior years.
Advisory Agreement
After full consideration of a variety of factors, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Advisory Agreement. In approving the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors. Throughout their deliberations, the Independent Trustees were represented and assisted by Independent Counsel.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services — In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Adviser relating to its operations and personnel. The Board also took into account its knowledge of the Adviser's management and the quality of the performance of the Adviser's duties through Board meetings, discussions, and reports during the preceding year. The Board considered the fees paid to the Adviser and the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, as well as other services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates under other agreements, and the personnel who provide these services. In addition to the investment advisory services provided to the Fund, the Adviser and its affiliates provide administrative services, shareholder

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Supplemental Information — continued March 31, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
services, oversight of Fund accounting, marketing services, assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, and other services necessary for the operation of the Fund and the Trust.
The Board considered the scope of services provided by, and the undertakings required of, the Adviser in connection with those services, including, among other things, maintaining (i) its own and the Fund's compliance programs, (ii) risk management programs, (iii) liquidity risk management programs, and (iv) cybersecurity programs, each of which had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market, and other developments. The Board also considered the significant risks assumed by the Adviser in connection with the services provided to the Fund, including investment, operational, enterprise, litigation, regulatory and compliance risks.
The Board considered the Adviser's management style and the performance of the Adviser's duties under the Advisory Agreement. The Board considered the level and depth of knowledge of the Adviser, including the professional experience and qualifications of its senior and investment personnel, as well as current staffing levels. The allocation of the Fund's brokerage, including the Adviser's process for monitoring "best execution," also was considered. The Adviser's role in coordinating the activities of the Fund's other service providers was also considered. The Board also considered the Adviser's risk management processes. The Board considered the Adviser's financial condition and that it had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide the same scope and high quality of services under the Advisory Agreement. In reviewing the Advisory Agreement, the Board focused on the experience, resources, and strengths of the Adviser and its affiliates in managing the Fund, as well as the other funds in the Trust.
The Board also reviewed the compliance and administrative services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates, including the Adviser's oversight of the Fund's day-to-day operations and oversight of Fund accounting. The Trustees, guided also by information obtained from their experiences as Trustees of the Trust, also focused on the quality of the Adviser's compliance and administrative staff.
Expenses and Performance — In connection with its consideration of the Advisory Agreement, the Board evaluated the Fund's advisory fees and total expense ratio as compared to other open-end investment companies deemed to be comparable to the Fund as determined by the independent third party in its report. The Fund's expenses were compared to (i) a group of investment companies chosen by the independent third party to be comparable to the Fund based upon certain factors, including fund type, comparability of investment objective and classification, sales load type, asset size, and expense components (the "expense group") and (ii) a larger group of investment companies with the same investment classification/objective as the Fund regardless of asset size, excluding outliers (the "expense universe"). Among other data, the Board noted that the Fund's net management fee rate — which includes advisory and administrative services and the effects of any performance adjustment1, as well as any fee waivers and reimbursements — was below the medians of its expense group and its expense universe. The data indicated that the Fund's total expenses, including after any reimbursements, were below the medians of its expense group and expense universe. The Board also took into account the Adviser's current undertakings to maintain expense limitations for the Fund. The Board took into account the various other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates and noted the high quality of services received by the Fund.
In considering the Fund's performance, the Board noted that it reviews at its regularly scheduled meetings information about the Fund's performance results. The Trustees also reviewed various comparative data provided to them in connection with their consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Fund's average annual total returns relative to its Lipper index and other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group by the independent third party in its report (the "performance universe"). The Fund's performance universe consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional open-end investment companies with the same classification/objective as the Fund regardless of asset size or primary channel of distribution. This comparison indicated that, among other data, the Fund's performance was above the average of its performance universe and its Lipper index for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2021.
1 The Adviser previously agreed that no performance adjustment (positive or negative) would be made to the amount payable to the Adviser from July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020.

Compensation and Profitability — The Board took into consideration the level and method of computing the management fee. The information considered by the Board included operating profit margin information for the Adviser's business as a whole. The Board also received and considered profitability information related to the management revenues from the Fund. This information included a review of the methodology used in the allocation of certain costs to the Fund. In considering the profitability data with respect to the Fund, the Trustees noted that the Adviser waived a portion of its management fees and/or reimbursed certain expenses with respect to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed the profitability of the Adviser's relationship with the Fund before tax expenses. The Board was also provided with a profitability analysis of other publicly traded asset managers prepared by an independent information service. In reviewing the overall profitability of the management fee to the Adviser, the Board also considered the fact that the Adviser and its affiliates provide shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Fund for which they receive compensation. The Board also considered the possible direct and indirect benefits to the Adviser from its relationship with the Trust, including that the Adviser may derive reputational and other benefits from its association with the Fund. The Trustees recognized that the Adviser should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits in exchange for the level of services it provides to the Fund and the entrepreneurial and other risks that it assumes as Adviser.
Economies of Scale — The Board noted that the Fund has advisory fee breakpoints that allow the Fund to participate in economies of scale and that such economies of scale were currently reflected in the advisory fee. The Board also considered the fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements by the Adviser. The Board also considered the effect of the change in size, if any, of each of the Fund's classes on its performance and fees, noting that the Fund may realize other economies of scale if assets increase proportionally more than expenses. The Board determined that the current investment management fee structure was reasonable.
Conclusions — The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Fund's Advisory Agreement with the Adviser: (i) the Adviser has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Advisory Agreement; (ii) the Adviser maintains an appropriate compliance program; (iii) the overall performance of the Fund is reasonable in relation to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant indices; (iv) the Fund's advisory expenses are reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Adviser; and (v) the Adviser's and its affiliates' level of profitability from their relationship with the Fund is reasonable in light of the nature and high quality of services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates and the type of fund. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that continuation of the Advisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

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 11, 2022, 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,
Just as the calendar year ended, investors were quickly reminded that financial markets go up and down. A host of worries have recently conspired to disturb the markets. Inflation data has been running hotter than expected; the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") has embarked on a new rate-hike cycle. And, of course, we're all watching a terrible war unfold in Eastern Europe. All these issues have ratcheted up uncertainties and market volatility in both stock and bond markets.
Given these concerns, it's no surprise that sentiment has turned negative and investors have become more focused on risk management and downside protection. We believe it's important to look back at financial markets through a wider lens. Despite the recent turmoil and the headwinds of the past year — including new COVID-19 variants, disruptions among global supply chains, and rising interest rates — the S&P 500® Index, the bell-weather proxy for our domestic stock market, once again delivered positive annual total returns during the annual reporting period.
Still, underlying this positive performance were interesting differences among investment styles and market capitalizations. In general, large-cap stocks outperformed smaller capitalization companies for the full annual reporting period. Meanwhile, growth-oriented styles led value-oriented investments during the first half of our annual reporting period, while the reverse was true during the back half of the year (as measured by the Russell family of indices). Perhaps this reflects investors' expectations for future higher interest rates and corresponding higher borrowing costs?
There were other notable subplots, too. During much of 2021 we watched crypto assets captivate investors, only to see them cycle up and down several times as we all sought to grasp the potential of their emerging blockchain technologies. Also intriguing was how the biotech sector struggled mightily for much of the past year despite the success and fanfare surrounding the COVID-19 vaccines. Meanwhile, rising oil prices fueled impressive gains across the energy landscape, and other commodities (including gold) helped fuel returns in some investors' diversified portfolios. These were just a few of the themes of the past year.
Despite the recent pullback, the S&P 500 Index still registered an impressive annual total return of nearly 16% for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2022. Over this same annual period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 58 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point), thanks to the Fed's stated intentions to shift to a less accommodative monetary policy. This was evidenced in March 2022 when the Fed raised the target federal funds rate by 25 basis points, the first rate hike in three years. At the end of our reporting period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury was trending higher and finished at 2.32%.
Although we were encouraged by another resilient year for financial markets, we fully acknowledge that unusual events of recent times — as well as the heightened volatility of early 2022 — may make investors uneasy. However, our experience managing portfolios through various economic cycles (including more than one unusual market crisis) has taught us to remain calm in the face of market turmoil. It is our view that, a long-term perspective, a well-diversified portfolio across asset classes and investment types, and a clear understanding of individual risk tolerances
2
are some of the key ingredients for staying the course and progressing on investment goals.
Of course, no one knows for certain what the future will bring. We are already facing a new and less accommodative Fed, which has unequivocally stated its intent to harness the recent elevated inflation readings. As a result, we believe interest rates appear ready to increase further. Labor shortages, continuing supply chain issues, elevated commodity prices, and the Russia-Ukraine war are among the headwinds investors are now navigating. There will be other challenges ahead, with some yet to be identified.
Thus, we cannot tell you with any certainty what markets will do in the future, but we can assure you that the investment professionals at all our independent franchises continually monitor the market environment and work hard to position portfolios opportunistically no matter what the markets bring.
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, we encourage you to contact our Representatives. Call (800) 235-8396 or visit our website at www.vcm.com.
My colleagues and I sincerely appreciate the confidence you have placed in us, and we look forward to helping you work toward your investment goals.

Manager's Commentary
(Unaudited)
• What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
Up until almost the very end of the 12-month reporting period ended March 31, 2022, the target federal funds rate range remained unchanged at a range of between 0.00% and 0.25%. During March 2022, however, officials at the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") raised the target range by a quarter of a percentage point to between 0.25% and 0.50%. This marked the first increase since December 2018. The range was maintained at previously low levels in order to support the U.S. economy during the country's battle with COVID-19. Fed officials have now raised that range in efforts to control inflation, particularly as the pandemic has subsided. Additional increases are projected for the next three Fed meetings later this year.
Interest rates on tax-exempt money market securities started the reporting period at very low levels and remained there for much of the year. In response to Fed officials' actions in March 2022, rates began to rise. At the beginning of the reporting period, the SIFMA Municipal Swap Index, the index of seven-day variable rate demand notes ("VRDNs"), was just 0.07%. By the close of the reporting period, the index had risen to 0.51%.
• How did the USAA Tax Exempt Money Market Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?
For the reporting period ended March 31, 2022, the Fund had a return of 0.01%, compared to an average return of 0.02% for the funds in the Lipper Tax-Exempt Money Market Funds category.
• What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?
We continued to focus on our two primary goals: preservation of capital and liquidity. The Fund invests the majority of its assets in VRDNs, which generally have interest rates that adjust daily/weekly to the market. The VRDNs owned by the Fund continued to provide both flexibility and liquidity because they can be sold at par value (100% of face value) upon seven days or less notice. They also offer the Fund a degree of safety as many of these VRDNs are guaranteed by a bank letter of credit for the payment of both principal and interest.
As always, we continued to work with our in-house team of analysts to help us identify attractive opportunities for the portfolio. They also continue to analyze and monitor every holding in the Fund.
Thank you for allowing us to assist you with 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 a 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 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 March 31, 2022 | |
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 45 funds and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with no par value.
The accompanying financial statements are those of the USAA Tax Exempt Money Market Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.
The Fund operates as a retail money market fund in compliance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act and as a retail money market fund, shares of the Fund are available for sale only to accounts that are beneficially owned by natural persons.
The Fund has adopted policies and procedures permitting the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") to impose a liquidity fee or to temporarily suspend redemptions from the Fund (impose 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 U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("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)
18
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
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.
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 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.
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. Payments 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 or 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:
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Fund has a tax year end of March 31.
For the year ended March 31, 2022, the Fund did not incur any income tax, interest, or penalties, and has recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain tax positions.
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

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
the year ended March 31, 2022, 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) | |
$ | 69,615 | | | $ | 37,700 | | | $ | — | | |
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 0.28% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the year ended March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022, the Fund had no subadvisers.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM also 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 of the Fund. Amounts incurred for the year ended March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Sub-Administration fees.
The Fund (as part of the Trust) has entered into an agreement with the Adviser to provide compliance services, 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. The 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 March 31, 2022, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Compliance fees.
20
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
Transfer Agency Fees:
Victory Capital Transfer Agency, Inc. ("VCTA"), an affiliate of the Adviser, provides transfer agency services to the Fund. Transfer agent fees for the Fund are paid monthly based on a fee accrued daily at an annualized rate of 0.15% of average daily net assets, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the year ended March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022, 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 limits 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 limit. As of March 31, 2022, the expense limit (excluding voluntary waivers) was 0.56%.
Under the terms of the expense limitation agreement, as 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 Adviser 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 of 0.56%. 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 of up to three years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement took place, to the extent any repayments would not cause the Fund's net yield to fall below the Fund's minimum yield at the time of: (a) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (b) the expense limit in effect at the time of the extra waiver.
As of March 31, 2022, 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 repayments are not probable at March 31, 2022.
Expires 2023 | | Expires 2024 | | Expires 2025 | | Total | |
$ | 19 | | | $ | 1,557 | | | $ | 2,216 | | | $ | 3,792 | | |
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.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
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.
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.
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.
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.
Market Risk — Overall market risks may affect the value of the Fund. Domestic and international factors such as political events, war, terrorism, trade disputes, inflation rates, interest rate levels and other fiscal and monetary policy changes, cybersecurity incidents, pandemics and other public health crises, sanctions against a particular foreign country, its nationals, businesses or industries and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods, or other catastrophes, may add to instability in global economies and markets generally, and may lead to increased market volatility. Global economies and financial markets are highly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region might adversely affect issuers in another country or region. The impact of these and other factors may be short-term or may last for extended periods.
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 28, 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 March 31, 2022, 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 London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus one percent, with LIBOR to be replaced by a different benchmark rate in accordance with the terms of the agreement) on amounts borrowed. Prior to June 28, 2021, the Victory Funds Complex paid an annual commitment fee of 0.15% and an upfront fee of 0.10%. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex paid a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Interest charged to the Fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Line of credit fees.
22
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
The Fund had no borrowings under the Line of Credit agreement during the year ended March 31, 2022.
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 March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022 | | Year Ended March 31, 2021 | |

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA Tax Exempt Money Market Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA Tax Exempt Money Market Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more Victory Capital investment companies since 1995.

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 October 1, 2021, through March 31, 2022.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical expenses in the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
Beginning Account Value 10/1/21 | | Actual Ending Account Value 3/31/22 | | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 3/31/22 | | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 10/1/21-3/31/22* | | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 10/1/21-3/31/22* | | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 10/1/21-3/31/22 | |
$ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,000.10 | | | $ | 1,024.03 | | | $ | 0.90 | | | $ | 0.91 | | | | 0.18 | % | |
* Expenses are equal to the average account value multiplied by the Fund's annualized expense ratio multiplied by 182/365 (the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year).

Considerations of the Board in Continuing the Investment Advisory Agreement
USAA Tax Exempt Money Market Fund (the "Fund")
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") held on December 9-10, 2021, the Board, including the Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Trust (the "Independent Trustees"), approved for an annual period the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") between the Trust and Victory Capital Management Inc. (the "Adviser") with respect to the Fund. Prior to the December 9-10, 2021 meeting at which the Advisory Agreement was approved, the Independent Trustees also discussed and considered information regarding the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement at a meeting held on November 19, 2021.
In advance of the foregoing meetings, the Trustees received and considered a variety of information relating to the Advisory Agreement and the Adviser, and were given the opportunity to ask questions and request additional information from management. The information provided to the Board included, among other things: (i) a separate report prepared by an independent third party of mutual fund data, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Fund's investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable investment companies; (ii) information concerning the services rendered to the Fund, as well as information regarding the Adviser's revenues and costs of providing services to the Fund and compensation paid to affiliates of the Adviser; and (iii) information about the Adviser's operations and personnel. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees reviewed the proposed continuance of the Advisory Agreement with management and with experienced independent counsel retained by the Independent Trustees ("Independent Counsel") and received materials from such Independent Counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund in private sessions with Independent Counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
At each regularly scheduled meeting of the Board and its committees, the Board receives and reviews, among other things, information concerning the Fund's performance and related services provided by the Adviser. At the meeting at which the renewal of the Advisory Agreement is considered, particular focus is given to information concerning Fund performance, fees and total expenses as compared to comparable investment companies, and the Adviser's profitability with respect to the Fund. However, the Board noted that the evaluation process with respect to the Adviser is an ongoing one. In this regard, the Board's and its committees' consideration of the Advisory Agreement included information previously received at such meetings. The Board also recognized that the contractual arrangements for the Fund have been reviewed by the Board and discussed with the Adviser in prior years and that the Board's conclusions may be based, in part, on its consideration of these same arrangements in prior years.
Advisory Agreement
After full consideration of a variety of factors, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Advisory Agreement. In approving the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors. Throughout their deliberations, the Independent Trustees were represented and assisted by Independent Counsel.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services — In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Adviser relating to its operations and personnel. The Board also took into account its knowledge of the Adviser's management and the quality of the performance of the Adviser's duties through Board meetings, discussions, and reports during the preceding year. The Board considered the fees paid to the Adviser and the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, as well as other services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates under other agreements, and the personnel who provide these services. In addition to the investment advisory services provided to the Fund, the Adviser and its affiliates provide administrative services, shareholder
32
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Supplemental Information — continued March 31, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
services, oversight of Fund accounting, marketing services, assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, and other services necessary for the operation of the Fund and the Trust.
The Board considered the scope of services provided by, and the undertakings required of, the Adviser in connection with those services, including, among other things, maintaining (i) its own and the Fund's compliance programs, (ii) risk management programs, (iii) liquidity risk management programs, and (iv) cybersecurity programs, each of which had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market, and other developments. The Board also considered the significant risks assumed by the Adviser in connection with the services provided to the Fund, including investment, operational, enterprise, litigation, regulatory and compliance risks.
The Board considered the Adviser's management style and the performance of the Adviser's duties under the Advisory Agreement. The Board considered the level and depth of knowledge of the Adviser, including the professional experience and qualifications of its senior and investment personnel, as well as current staffing levels. The allocation of the Fund's brokerage, including the Adviser's process for monitoring "best execution," also was considered. The Adviser's role in coordinating the activities of the Fund's other service providers was also considered. The Board also considered the Adviser's risk management processes. The Board considered the Adviser's financial condition and that it had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide the same scope and high quality of services under the Advisory Agreement. In reviewing the Advisory Agreement, the Board focused on the experience, resources, and strengths of the Adviser and its affiliates in managing the Fund, as well as the other funds in the Trust.
The Board also reviewed the compliance and administrative services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates, including the Adviser's oversight of the Fund's day-to-day operations and oversight of Fund accounting. The Trustees, guided also by information obtained from their experiences as Trustees of the Trust, also focused on the quality of the Adviser's compliance and administrative staff.
Expenses and Performance — In connection with its consideration of the Advisory Agreement, the Board evaluated the Fund's advisory fees and total expense ratio as compared to other open-end investment companies deemed to be comparable to the Fund as determined by the independent third party in its report. The Fund's expenses were compared to (i) a group of investment companies chosen by the independent third party to be comparable to the Fund based upon certain factors, including fund type, comparability of investment objective and classification, sales load type, asset size, and expense components (the "expense group") and (ii) a larger group of investment companies with the same investment classification/objective as the Fund regardless of asset size, excluding outliers (the "expense universe"). Among other data, the Board noted that the Fund's net management fee rate — which includes advisory and administrative services, as well as any fee waivers and reimbursements — was below the medians of its expense group and expense universe. The data indicated that the Fund's total expenses, including after any reimbursements, were equal to the median of its expense group and above the median of its expense universe. The Board also took into account the Adviser's current undertakings to maintain expense limitations for the Fund, which included voluntary waiver support to preserve a minimum daily yield. The Board took into account the various other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates and noted the high quality of services received by the Fund.
In considering the Fund's performance, the Board noted that it reviews at its regularly scheduled meetings information about the Fund's performance results. The Trustees also reviewed various comparative data provided to them in connection with their consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Fund's average annual total returns relative to its Lipper index and other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group by the independent third party in its report (the "performance universe"). The Fund's performance universe consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional open-end investment companies with the same classification/objective as the Fund regardless of asset size or primary channel of distribution. This comparison indicated that, among other data, the Fund's performance was above the average of its performance universe and its Lipper index for the one-year period ended September 30, 2021, and was below the average of its performance universe and its Lipper index for the three-, five- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2021. The Board noted the relatively narrow range of returns of the funds in the Fund's peer group.
Compensation and Profitability — The Board took into consideration the level and method of computing the management fee. The information considered by the Board included operating profit margin information for
33
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Supplemental Information — continued March 31, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
the Adviser's business as a whole. The Board also received and considered profitability information related to the management revenues from the Fund. This information included a review of the methodology used in the allocation of certain costs to the Fund. In considering the profitability data with respect to the Fund, the Trustees noted that the Adviser waived a portion of its management fees and/or reimbursed certain expenses with respect to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed the profitability of the Adviser's relationship with the Fund before tax expenses. The Board was also provided with a profitability analysis of other publicly traded asset managers prepared by an independent information service. In reviewing the overall profitability of the management fee to the Adviser, the Board also considered the fact that the Adviser and its affiliates provide shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Fund for which they receive compensation. The Board also considered the possible direct and indirect benefits to the Adviser from its relationship with the Trust, including that the Adviser may derive reputational and other benefits from its association with the Fund. The Trustees recognized that the Adviser should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits in exchange for the level of services it provides to the Fund and the entrepreneurial and other risks that it assumes as Adviser.
Economies of Scale — The Board considered whether there should be changes in the management fee rate or structure in order to enable the Fund to participate in any economies of scale. The Board also considered the fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements by the Adviser. The Board took into account management's discussion of the Fund's current advisory fee structure. The Board also considered the effect of the Fund's change in size, if any, on its performance and fees, noting that the Fund may realize other economies of scale if assets increase proportionally more than expenses. The Board determined that the current investment management fee structure was reasonable.
Conclusions — The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Fund's Advisory Agreement with the Adviser: (i) the Adviser has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Advisory Agreement; (ii) the Adviser maintains an appropriate compliance program; (iii) the overall performance of the Fund is reasonable in relation to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant indices; (iv) the Fund's advisory expenses are reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Adviser; and (v) the Adviser's and its affiliates' level of profitability from their relationship with the Fund is reasonable in light of the nature and high quality of services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates and the type of fund. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that continuation of the Advisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Dear Shareholder,
Just as the calendar year ended, investors were quickly reminded that financial markets go up and down. A host of worries have recently conspired to disturb the markets. Inflation data has been running hotter than expected; the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") has embarked on a new rate-hike cycle. And, of course, we're all watching a terrible war unfold in Eastern Europe. All these issues have ratcheted up uncertainties and market volatility in both stock and bond markets.
Given these concerns, it's no surprise that sentiment has turned negative and investors have become more focused on risk management and downside protection. We believe it's important to look back at financial markets through a wider lens. Despite the recent turmoil and the headwinds of the past year — including new COVID-19 variants, disruptions among global supply chains, and rising interest rates — the S&P 500® Index, the bell-weather proxy for our domestic stock market, once again delivered positive annual total returns during the annual reporting period.
Still, underlying this positive performance were interesting differences among investment styles and market capitalizations. In general, large-cap stocks outperformed smaller capitalization companies for the full annual reporting period. Meanwhile, growth-oriented styles led value-oriented investments during the first half of our annual reporting period, while the reverse was true during the back half of the year (as measured by the Russell family of indices). Perhaps this reflects investors' expectations for future higher interest rates and corresponding higher borrowing costs?
There were other notable subplots, too. During much of 2021 we watched crypto assets captivate investors, only to see them cycle up and down several times as we all sought to grasp the potential of their emerging blockchain technologies. Also intriguing was how the biotech sector struggled mightily for much of the past year despite the success and fanfare surrounding the COVID-19 vaccines. Meanwhile, rising oil prices fueled impressive gains across the energy landscape, and other commodities (including gold) helped fuel returns in some investors' diversified portfolios. These were just a few of the themes of the past year.
Despite the recent pullback, the S&P 500 Index still registered an impressive annual total return of nearly 16% for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2022. Over this same annual period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 58 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point), thanks to the Fed's stated intentions to shift to a less accommodative monetary policy. This was evidenced in March 2022 when the Fed raised the target federal funds rate by 25 basis points, the first rate hike in three years. At the end of our reporting period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury was trending higher and finished at 2.32%.
Although we were encouraged by another resilient year for financial markets, we fully acknowledge that unusual events of recent times — as well as the heightened volatility of early 2022 — may make investors uneasy. However, our experience managing portfolios through various economic cycles (including more than one unusual market crisis) has taught us to remain calm in the face of market turmoil. It is our view that, a long-term perspective, a well-diversified portfolio across asset
2
classes and investment types, and a clear understanding of individual risk tolerances are some of the key ingredients for staying the course and progressing on investment goals.
Of course, no one knows for certain what the future will bring. We are already facing a new and less accommodative Fed, which has unequivocally stated its intent to harness the recent elevated inflation readings. As a result, we believe interest rates appear ready to increase further. Labor shortages, continuing supply chain issues, elevated commodity prices, and the Russia-Ukraine war are among the headwinds investors are now navigating.

Manager's Commentary
(Unaudited)
• What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
At the start of the reporting period, equity markets consolidated, and interest rates leveled off after large upswings during the second quarter of 2021. With strong first quarter gross domestic product and corporate earnings growth in the rearview mirror, investors seemed 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 data increased as the economy reopened more quickly than expected. The U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") maintained that inflationary pressure is transitory but could become more persistent. The inflationary environment was a key metric moving into the second half of the year. The financial markets produced broadly flat returns in the third quarter. Conditions were initially supportive in July and August thanks to positive economic data and continued strength in corporate earnings. The picture changed in September, however, as investors began to focus on risk factors such as supply chain disruptions and rising inflation. In addition, the Fed indicated that it may begin tapering its stimulative quantitative easing policy — a development investors took as an indication that the first interest-rate increases may be on the way in 2022. News flow from overseas also took a negative turn in September, with the emergence of energy shortages in Europe and worries that the debt problems of Chinese property developer Evergrande could have a broader, systemic effect on China's economy.
Despite a number of headwinds due to sentiment, U.S. equities posted solid gains in the fourth quarter of 2021 as reflected in the 11.03% return for the bellwether S&P 500 Index. The markets faced a shift in Fed policy as persistent inflation driven by supply chain issues and rising commodity prices led the central bank to announce and subsequently accelerate the tapering of its bond purchases that have helped keep longer-term borrowing costs low. In addition, the Fed began to signal the likelihood of two or more hikes in its benchmark overnight lending rate in 2022, representing a moving forward of the prior timetable. Prolonged negotiations over President Biden's Build Back Better spending bill put into question a source of anticipated fiscal stimulus. Finally, investors had to contend with the rapid emergence and spread of the Omicron variant of COVID-19, which threatened a new wave of lockdowns. Nonetheless, most major U.S. equity indices closed 2021 at or near all-time highs, supported by robust corporate profits and investor inflows given fixed income yields that remained unattractive.
At the end of the reporting period, the Russian invasion of Ukraine added significant volatility to both equity and bond markets that were already concerned with elevated levels of inflation, a hawkish Fed, and rising interest rates. In the first quarter of 2022, the combination of widening credit spreads and rising interest rates led to the worst quarter for the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index in 40 years. Equity markets did not fare any better as the bellwether S&P 500 also posted a negative return during the quarter. With the Fed now embarking on a tightening cycle it is our view that, the markets will remain focused on the Fed and whether it can engineer a soft landing amidst the highest inflation readings in 40 years.

USAA Target Managed Allocation Fund (continued)
Manager's Commentary (continued)
• How did the USAA Target Managed Allocation Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?
For the reporting period ended March 31, 2022, the Fund had a total return (at net asset value) of 12.85%. This compares to total returns of 7.28% for the MSCI All-Country World Index and -4.23% for the Bloomberg U.S. Universal Index.
• What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?
USAA Mutual Funds Trust offers five funds in the Target Retirement Series, each of which has a different strategic asset allocation based on investors' risk tolerance and time horizon. Depending on our continuous assessment of market opportunities and risks, we apply tactical asset allocation decisions by overweighting or underweighting the various asset classes in each fund versus our respective strategic allocations. The Target Managed Allocation Fund allows us to make allocation changes to the Target Retirement Series more quickly and with less disruption to the underlying funds in the portfolios. We primarily use exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") and futures to implement our asset allocation views since they are highly liquid vehicles that allow us to apply our decisions more quickly and efficiently than investing in individual securities.
The Fund held higher than average positions in alternative asset classes, commodities and real estate investment trusts. These positions contributed positively to performance as real estate markets continued to recover and investors' concern around the global pandemic shifted to uncertainty around inflation. A substantial portion of the portfolio was invested in U.S. large-cap and Canadian equities, which outperformed the broader global equity markets. Smaller positions in U.S. small-cap and emerging markets equities detracted from performance over the time period.
The Fund also employs a tactically oriented equity futures strategy designed to provide incremental return on top of the underlying ETF positions. This strategy contributed positively over the time period. Long positions in futures tracking U.S. large-cap, Canadian, and Swiss equities provided value. A short position in futures tracking the U.K. equity market detracted from performance.
Thank you for allowing us to assist you with your investment needs.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements March 31, 2022 | |
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 45 funds and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with no par value.
The accompanying financial statements are those of the USAA Target Managed Allocation Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.
The Fund is not offered for sale directly to the general public and is available currently for investment only to other USAA Mutual Funds participating in a fund-of-funds investment strategy, or to other persons or legal entities that the Fund may approve from time to time.
Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("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"), 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
16
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
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 March 31, 2022, based upon the three levels defined above, is included in the table below while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments (amounts in thousands):
| | Level 1 | | Level 2 | | Level 3 | | Total | |

* Futures contracts are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the investment.
For the year ended March 31, 2022, 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
17
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
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 the ETF is designed to track, although the lack of liquidity of an ETF could result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.
Open-End Funds:
The Fund may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the board of directors of the underlying funds.
Derivative Instruments:
Futures Contracts:
The Fund may enter into contracts for the future delivery of securities or foreign currencies and futures contracts based on a specific security, class of securities, foreign currency or an index, and purchase or sell options on any such futures contracts. A futures contract on a securities index is an agreement obligating either party to pay, and entitling the other party to receive, while the contract is outstanding, cash payments based on the level of a specified securities index. No physical delivery of the underlying asset is made. The Fund may enter into futures contracts in an effort to hedge against market risks. The acquisition of put and call options on futures contracts will give the Fund the right (but not the obligation), for a specified price, to sell or to purchase the underlying futures contract, upon exercise of the option, at any time during the option period. Futures transactions involve brokerage costs and require the Fund to segregate assets to cover contracts that would require it to purchase securities or currencies. A good faith margin deposit, known as initial margin, of cash or government securities with a broker or custodian is required to initiate and maintain open positions in futures contracts. Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund based on the change in the market value of the position and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is closed out, at which time the gain or loss is realized. The Fund may lose the expected benefit of futures transactions if interest rates, exchange rates or securities prices change in an unanticipated manner. Such unanticipated changes may also result in lower overall performance than if the Fund had not entered into any futures transactions. In addition, the value of the Fund's futures positions may not prove to be perfectly or even highly correlated with the value of its portfolio securities or foreign currencies, limiting the Fund's ability to hedge effectively against interest rate, exchange rate and/or market risk and giving rise to additional risks. There is no assurance of liquidity in the secondary market for purposes of closing out futures positions. The collateral held by the Fund is reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under Deposit with broker for futures contracts.
Management has determined that no offsetting requirements exist as a result of their conclusion that the Fund is not subject to master netting agreements for futures contracts. During the year ended March 31, 2022, 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 summarizes the fair values of derivative instruments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, categorized by risk exposure, as of March 31, 2022 (amounts in thousands):
| | Assets | | Liabilities | |

Equity Risk Exposure | | $ | 11,599 | | | $ | (2,880 | ) | |
All open derivative positions at period end are reflected on the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The underlying face value of open derivative positions relative to the Fund's net assets at period end is generally representative of the notional amount of open positions to net assets throughout the period.
Investment Transactions and Related Income:
Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date or 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 and banks, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. Borrowers are required to initially 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 generally cured the next business day. The collateral can be received in the form of cash collateral and/or non-cash collateral. Non-cash collateral can include U.S. Government Securities and other securities as permitted by Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidelines. The cash collateral is invested in short-term instruments or cash equivalents, primarily open-end investment companies, as noted on the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The Fund effectively does not have control of the non-cash collateral and therefore it is not disclosed on the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. 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. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Fund could experience a delay in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them. In addition, there is a risk 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 repledged, except to satisfy borrower default.

The following table (amounts in thousands) is a summary of the Fund's securities lending transactions as of March 31, 2022.
Value of Securities on Loan | | Non-Cash Collateral | | Cash Collateral | |
$ | 37,374 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 38,647 | | |
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 are disclosed as Net realized gains (losses) from investment securities and foreign currency transactions on the Statement of Operations.
Foreign Taxes:
The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes related to foreign income received (a portion of which may be reclaimable), capital gains on the sale of securities, and certain foreign currency transactions. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Fund invests.
Federal Income Taxes:
It is the Fund's policy to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Fund has a tax year end of March 31.
For the year ended March 31, 2022, the Fund did not incur any income tax, interest, or penalties, and has recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions.
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.
3. Purchases and Sales:

Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive fees accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the year ended March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022, the Fund had no subadvisers.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM also 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 0.05%, which is based on the Fund's average daily net assets of the Fund Shares. Amounts incurred for the year ended March 31, 2022, 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.

21
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
the Adviser, which pays the compensation of the CCO and support staff. The 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 March 31, 2022, 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 fees for the Fund are paid monthly based on a fee accrued daily at an annualized rate of 0.05% of average daily net assets, plus out-of-pocket expenses.

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 limits 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 March 31, 2022, the expense limit (excluding voluntary waivers) was 0.65%.
Under the terms of the expense limitation agreement, as 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 Adviser 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 March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022.

6. Risks:
The Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
Portfolio Reallocation Risk — The frequent changes in the allocation of the Fund's portfolio holdings may result in higher portfolio turnover. In purchasing and selling securities in order to reallocate the portfolio, the Fund will pay more brokerage commissions than it would without a reallocation policy. In addition, the Fund may have a higher proportion of capital gains and a potentially lower return than a fund that does not reallocate from time to time.
ETF Risk — ETFs, which generally are registered investment companies, incur their own management and other fees and expenses, such as trustees' fees, operating expenses, registration fees, and marketing expenses, a proportionate share of which will be borne indirectly by the Fund as a shareholder in an ETF. As a result, the Fund's investment in an ETF will cause the Fund to indirectly bear the fees and expenses of the ETF and, in turn, the Fund's performance may be lower than if the Fund were to invest directly in the underlying securities held by the ETF. For investments in affiliated ETFs, the Fund's management fee is reimbursed by the Adviser to the extent of the indirect management fee incurred through the Fund's investment in the affiliated ETFs. The Adviser may have conflicts of interest in allocating assets among affiliated and unaffiliated ETFs, because the Adviser also manages and administers the affiliated ETFs, and the Adviser and its affiliates receive other fees from the affiliated ETFs. In addition, the Fund also will be subject to the risks associated with the securities or other investments held by the ETFs.
Market Risk — Overall market risks may affect the value of the Fund. Domestic and international factors such as political events, war, terrorism, trade disputes, inflation rates, interest rate levels and other fiscal and monetary policy changes, cybersecurity incidents, pandemics and other public health crises, sanctions against a particular foreign country, its nationals, businesses or industries and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods or other catastrophes, may add to instability in global economies and markets generally, and may lead to increased market volatility. Global economies and financial markets are highly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region might adversely affect issuers in another country or region. The impact of these and other factors may be short-term or may last for extended periods.
Derivatives Risk — The use of derivative instruments, such as futures contracts and credit default swaps, exposes the Fund to additional risks and transaction costs. Risks of derivative instruments include: (1) the risk that interest rates, securities prices, asset values, and currency markets will not move in the direction that a portfolio manager anticipates; (2) imperfect correlation between the price of derivative instruments and movements in the prices of the securities, assets, interest rates or currencies being hedged; (3) the fact that skills needed to use these strategies are different than those needed to select portfolio securities; (4) the possible absence of a liquid secondary market for any particular instrument and possible exchange imposed price fluctuation limits, either of which may make it difficult or impossible to close out a position when desired; (5) the risk that adverse price movements in an instrument can result in a loss substantially greater than the Fund's initial investment in that instrument (in some cases, the potential loss is unlimited); (6) particularly in the case of privately-negotiated instruments, the risk that the counterparty will not perform its obligations, which could leave the Fund worse off than if it had not entered into the position; and (7) the inability to close out certain hedged positions to avoid adverse tax consequences.
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 28, 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
23
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
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 March 31, 2022, 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 London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus one percent, with LIBOR to be replaced by a different benchmark rate in accordance with the terms of the agreement) on amounts borrowed. Prior to June 28, 2021, the Victory Funds Complex paid an annual commitment fee of 0.15% and an upfront fee of 0.10%. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex paid a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Interest charged to the 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 March 31, 2022.
Interfund Lending:
The Trust and the 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 reflected on the Statement of Operations under Interfund lending.
The average borrowing or lending for the days outstanding and average interest rate for the Fund during the year ended March 31, 2022, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Borrower or Lender | | Amount Outstanding at March 31, 2022 | | Average Borrowing* | | Days Borrowing Outstanding | | Average Interest Rate* | | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | |
| Borrower | | | $ | — | | | $ | 23,411 | | | | 6 | | | | 0.56 | % | | $ | 29,682 | | |
* For the year ended March 31, 2022, 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.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
As of March 31, 2022, 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 | |

As of March 31, 2022, the components of accumulated earnings (loss) on a tax basis were as follows (amounts in thousands):

$ | 15,813 | | | $ | 2,629 | | | $ | 18,442 | | | $ | 33,088 | | | $ | 51,530 | | |
* 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 partnerships.
As of March 31, 2022, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards, for federal income tax purposes.
As of March 31, 2022, the cost basis for federal income tax purposes, gross unrealized appreciation, gross unrealized depreciation, and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for investments, including derivatives, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA Target Managed Allocation Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA Target Managed Allocation Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022, 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 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 October 1, 2021, through March 31, 2022.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical expenses in the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
Beginning Account Value 10/1/21 | | Actual Ending Account Value 3/31/22 | | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 3/31/22 | | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 10/1/21-3/31/22* | | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 10/1/21-3/31/22* | | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 10/1/21-3/31/22 | |
$ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,084.20 | | | $ | 1,021.74 | | | $ | 3.33 | | | $ | 3.23 | | | | 0.64 | % | |
* Expenses are equal to the average account value multiplied by the Fund's annualized expense ratio multiplied by 182/365 (the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year).

Considerations of the Board in Continuing the Investment Advisory Agreement
USAA Target Managed Allocation Fund (the "Fund")
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") held on December 9-10, 2021, the Board, including the Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Trust (the "Independent Trustees"), approved for an annual period the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") between the Trust and Victory Capital Management Inc. (the "Adviser") with respect to the Fund. Prior to the December 9-10, 2021 meeting at which the Advisory Agreement was approved, the Independent Trustees also discussed and considered information regarding the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement at a meeting held on November 19, 2021.
In advance of the foregoing meetings, the Trustees received and considered a variety of information relating to the Advisory Agreement and the Adviser, and were given the opportunity to ask questions and request additional information from management. The information provided to the Board included, among other things: (i) a separate report prepared by an independent third party of mutual fund data, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Fund's investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable investment companies; (ii) information concerning the services rendered to the Fund, as well as information regarding the Adviser's revenues and costs of providing services to the Fund and compensation paid to affiliates of the Adviser; and (iii) information about the Adviser's operations and personnel. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees reviewed the proposed continuance of the Advisory Agreement with management and with experienced independent counsel retained by the Independent Trustees ("Independent Counsel") and received materials from such Independent Counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund in private sessions with Independent Counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
At each regularly scheduled meeting of the Board and its committees, the Board receives and reviews, among other things, information concerning the Fund's performance and related services provided by the Adviser. At the meeting at which the renewal of the Advisory Agreement is considered, particular focus is given to information concerning Fund performance, fees and total expenses as compared to comparable investment companies, and the Adviser's profitability with respect to the Fund. However, the Board noted that the evaluation process with respect to the Adviser is an ongoing one. In this regard, the Board's and its committees' consideration of the Advisory Agreement included information previously received at such meetings. The Board also recognized that the contractual arrangements for the Fund have been reviewed by the Board and discussed with the Adviser in prior years and that the Board's conclusions may be based, in part, on its consideration of these same arrangements in prior years.
Advisory Agreement
After full consideration of a variety of factors, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Advisory Agreement. In approving the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors. Throughout their deliberations, the Independent Trustees were represented and assisted by Independent Counsel.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services — In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Adviser relating to its operations and personnel. The Board also took into account its knowledge of the Adviser's management and the quality of the performance of the Adviser's duties through Board meetings, discussions, and reports during the preceding year. The Board considered the fees paid to the Adviser and the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, as well as other services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates under other agreements, and the personnel who provide these services. In addition to the investment advisory services provided to the Fund, the Adviser and its affiliates provide administrative services, shareholder
34
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Supplemental Information — continued March 31, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
services, oversight of Fund accounting, marketing services, assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, and other services necessary for the operation of the Fund and the Trust.
The Board considered the scope of services provided by, and the undertakings required of, the Adviser in connection with those services, including, among other things, maintaining (i) its own and the Fund's compliance programs, (ii) risk management programs, (iii) liquidity risk management programs, and (iv) cybersecurity programs, each of which had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market, and other developments. The Board also considered the significant risks assumed by the Adviser in connection with the services provided to the Fund, including investment, operational, enterprise, litigation, regulatory and compliance risks.
The Board considered the Adviser's management style and the performance of the Adviser's duties under the Advisory Agreement. The Board considered the level and depth of knowledge of the Adviser, including the professional experience and qualifications of its senior and investment personnel, as well as current staffing levels. The allocation of the Fund's brokerage, including the Adviser's process for monitoring "best execution," also was considered. The Adviser's role in coordinating the activities of the Fund's other service providers was also considered. The Board also considered the Adviser's risk management processes. The Board considered the Adviser's financial condition and that it had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide the same scope and high quality of services under the Advisory Agreement. In reviewing the Advisory Agreement, the Board focused on the experience, resources, and strengths of the Adviser and its affiliates in managing the Fund, as well as the other funds in the Trust.
The Board also reviewed the compliance and administrative services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates, including the Adviser's oversight of the Fund's day-to-day operations and oversight of Fund accounting. The Trustees, guided also by information obtained from their experiences as Trustees of the Trust, also focused on the quality of the Adviser's compliance and administrative staff.
Expenses and Performance — In connection with its consideration of the Advisory Agreement, the Board evaluated the Fund's advisory fees and total expense ratio as compared to other open-end investment companies deemed to be comparable to the Fund as determined by the independent third party in its report. The Fund's expenses were compared to (i) a group of investment companies chosen by the independent third party to be comparable to the Fund based upon certain factors, including fund type, comparability of investment objective and classification, sales load type, asset size, and expense components (the "expense group") and (ii) a larger group of investment companies with the same investment classification/objective as the Fund regardless of asset size, excluding outliers (the "expense universe"). Among other data, the Board noted that the Fund's net management fee rate — which includes advisory and administrative services — was above the medians of its expense group and expense universe. The data indicated that the Fund's total expenses were equal to the median of its expense group and below the median of its expense universe. The Board also took into account the Adviser's current undertakings to maintain expense limitations for the Fund. The Board took into account the various other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates and noted the high quality of services received by the Fund.
In considering the Fund's performance, the Board noted that it reviews at its regularly scheduled meetings information about the Fund's performance results. The Trustees also reviewed various comparative data provided to them in connection with their consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Fund's average annual total returns relative to its Lipper index and other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group by the independent third party in its report (the "performance universe"). The Fund's performance universe consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional open-end investment companies with the same classification/objective as the Fund regardless of asset size or primary channel of distribution. This comparison indicated that, among other data, the Fund's performance was above the average of its performance universe and its Lipper index for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended September 30, 2021.
Compensation and Profitability — The Board took into consideration the level and method of computing the management fee. The information considered by the Board included operating profit margin information for the Adviser's business as a whole. The Board also received and considered profitability information related to the management revenues from the Fund. This information included a review of the methodology used in the allocation of certain costs to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed the profitability of the Adviser's relationship with
35
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Supplemental Information — continued March 31, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
the Fund before tax expenses. The Board was also provided with a profitability analysis of other publicly traded asset managers prepared by an independent information service. In reviewing the overall profitability of the management fee to the Adviser, the Board also considered the fact that the Adviser and its affiliates provide shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Fund for which they receive compensation. The Board also considered the possible direct and indirect benefits to the Adviser from its relationship with the Trust, including that the Adviser may derive reputational and other benefits from its association with the Fund. The Trustees recognized that the Adviser should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits in exchange for the level of services it provides to the Fund and the entrepreneurial and other risks that it assumes as Adviser.
Economies of Scale — The Board considered whether there should be changes in the management fee rate or structure in order to enable the Fund to participate in any economies of scale. The Board also considered the fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements by the Adviser. The Board took into account management's discussion of the Fund's current advisory fee structure. The Board also considered the effect of the Fund's change in size, if any, on its performance and fees, noting that the Fund may realize other economies of scale if assets increase proportionally more than expenses. The Board determined that the current investment management fee structure was reasonable.
Conclusions — The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Fund's Advisory Agreement with the Adviser: (i) the Adviser has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Advisory Agreement; (ii) the Adviser maintains an appropriate compliance program; (iii) the overall performance of the Fund is reasonable in relation to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant indices; (iv) the Fund's advisory expenses are reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Adviser; and (v) the Adviser's and its affiliates' level of profitability from their relationship with the Fund is reasonable in light of the nature and high quality of services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates and the type of fund. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that continuation of the Advisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

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 11, 2022, 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.

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,
Just as the calendar year ended, investors were quickly reminded that financial markets go up and down. A host of worries have recently conspired to disturb the markets. Inflation data has been running hotter than expected; the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") has embarked on a new rate-hike cycle. And, of course, we're all watching a terrible war unfold in Eastern Europe. All these issues have ratcheted up uncertainties and market volatility in both stock and bond markets.
Given these concerns, it's no surprise that sentiment has turned negative and investors have become more focused on risk management and downside protection. We believe it's important to look back at financial markets through a wider lens. Despite the recent turmoil and the headwinds of the past year — including new COVID-19 variants, disruptions among global supply chains, and rising interest rates — the S&P 500® Index, the bell-weather proxy for our domestic stock market, once again delivered positive annual total returns during the annual reporting period.
Still, underlying this positive performance were interesting differences among investment styles and market capitalizations. In general, large-cap stocks outperformed smaller capitalization companies for the full annual reporting period. Meanwhile, growth-oriented styles led value-oriented investments during the first half of our annual reporting period, while the reverse was true during the back half of the year (as measured by the Russell family of indices). Perhaps this reflects investors' expectations for future higher interest rates and corresponding higher borrowing costs?
There were other notable subplots, too. During much of 2021 we watched crypto assets captivate investors, only to see them cycle up and down several times as we all sought to grasp the potential of their emerging blockchain technologies. Also intriguing was how the biotech sector struggled mightily for much of the past year despite the success and fanfare surrounding the COVID-19 vaccines. Meanwhile, rising oil prices fueled impressive gains across the energy landscape, and other commodities (including gold) helped fuel returns in some investors' diversified portfolios. These were just a few of the themes of the past year.
Despite the recent pullback, the S&P 500 Index still registered an impressive annual total return of nearly 16% for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2022. Over this same annual period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 58 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point), thanks to the Fed's stated intentions to shift to a less accommodative monetary policy. This was evidenced in March 2022 when the Fed raised the target federal funds rate by 25 basis points, the first rate hike in three years. At the end of our reporting period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury was trending higher and finished at 2.32%.
Although we were encouraged by another resilient year for financial markets, we fully acknowledge that unusual events of recent times — as well as the heightened volatility of early 2022 — may make investors uneasy. However, our experience managing portfolios through various economic cycles (including more than one unusual market crisis) has taught us to remain calm in the face of market turmoil. It is our view that, a long-term perspective, a well-diversified portfolio across asset
2
classes and investment types, and a clear understanding of individual risk tolerances are some of the key ingredients for staying the course and progressing on investment goals.
Of course, no one knows for certain what the future will bring. We are already facing a new and less accommodative Fed, which has unequivocally stated its intent to harness the recent elevated inflation readings. As a result, we believe interest rates appear ready to increase further. Labor shortages, continuing supply chain issues, elevated commodity prices, and the Russia-Ukraine war are among the headwinds investors are now navigating. There will be other challenges ahead, with some yet to be identified.
Thus, we cannot tell you with any certainty what markets will do in the future, but we can assure you that the investment professionals at all our independent franchises continually monitor the market environment and work hard to position portfolios opportunistically no matter what the markets bring.

USAA Tax Exempt Long-Term Fund
Manager's Commentary
(Unaudited)
• What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
Tax-exempt bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index, generated negative returns during the 12-month reporting period ended March 31, 2022, due largely to rising municipal bond yields in the last quarter of the fiscal year. (Bond prices and yields move in opposite directions.)
The reporting period began with the municipal market fighting the headwinds of potentially higher U.S. Treasury rates and inflation, but with several notable tailwinds in support to include: heavy fund flows into tax-exempt mutual funds, investor expectations of increasing tax rates, and stimulus money flowing to municipal borrowers. During the first three quarters of the fiscal year, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index returned 1.87%.
The municipal market turned meaningfully negative in the first quarter of 2022. The Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index returned -6.23% for the quarter. The negative returns were driven by a material increase in Treasury and AAA Municipal Bond yields. These rates rose significantly in response to the U.S. Federal Reserve's initiation of monetary tightening. Negative returns were also driven by significant outflows of assets from municipal bond mutual funds.
At the end of the reporting period, the yield on the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index was 2.60%, which was notably higher than at the start of the fiscal year (1.18% on March 31, 2021). While the increase in rates detracted from performance during this fiscal year, we believe the higher rates should drive higher returns over the long-term.
• How did the USAA Tax Exempt Long-Term 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 March 31, 2022, the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A had a total return (at net asset value) of -3.15%, -3.16%, and -3.33%, respectively, versus an average return of -4.30% amongst the funds in the Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds category. This compares to returns of -4.08% for the Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds Index and -4.47% for the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index.
• What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?
In keeping with our investment approach, we continued to focus on income generation. The Fund's long-term income distribution, not its price appreciation, accounts for most of its total return. Because of the Fund's income orientation, it has a higher allocation to BBB and A rated categories when compared to its peer group.
Our commitment to independent credit research continued to help us identify attractive opportunities for the Fund. We employ fundamental analysis that emphasizes an issuer's ability and willingness to repay its debt. Through our credit research, we strive both to recognize relative value and to avoid potential pitfalls, which is especially important in

volatile times like the present. As always, we worked with our in-house team of analysts to select investments for the Fund on a bond-by-bond basis. Our team continuously monitors all the holdings in the Fund's portfolio.
The Fund continues to hold a diversified portfolio of longer-term, primarily investment- grade municipal bonds. To limit exposure to an unexpected event, the Fund is diversified by sector, issuer, and geography. In addition, we avoid bonds subject to the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals.
Thank you for allowing us to assist you with your investment needs.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements March 31, 2022 | |
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 45 funds and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with no par value.
The accompanying financial statements are those of the USAA Tax Exempt Long-Term Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers three classes of shares: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A. 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 U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("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 March 31, 2022 | |
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 net asset value ("NAV") to be more reliable than it otherwise would be.
A summary of the valuations as of March 31, 2022, 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 | |
Municipal Bonds | | $ | — | | | $ | 2,172,478 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 2,172,478 | | |
Total | | $ | — | | | $ | 2,172,478 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 2,172,478 | | |
For the year ended March 31, 2022, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
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. Payments 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.
Below-Investment-Grade Securities:
The Fund may invest in below-investment-grade securities (i.e., lower-quality, "junk" debt), which are subject to various risks. Lower-quality debt is considered to be speculative because it is less certain that the issuer will be able to pay interest or repay the principal than in the case of investment-grade debt. These securities can involve a substantially greater risk of default than higher-rated securities, and their values can decline significantly over short periods of time. Lower-quality debt securities tend to be more sensitive to adverse news about their issuers, the market and the economy in general, than higher-quality debt securities. The market for these securities can be less liquid, especially during periods of recession or general market decline.
Investment Transactions and Related Income:
Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date or 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.
37
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
Federal Income Taxes:
It is the Fund's policy to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Fund has a tax year end of March 31.
For the year ended March 31, 2022, the Fund did not incur any income tax, interest, or penalties, and has recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions.
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 March 31, 2022, 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) | |
$ | 89,900 | | | $ | 103,725 | | | $ | — | | |
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. Purchases and Sales:
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) for the year ended March 31, 2022, were as follows for the Fund (amounts in thousands):
Excluding U.S. Government Securities | |
Purchases | | Sales | |
$ | 232,559 | | | $ | 222,085 | | |

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
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 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.
Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive a base fee and a performance adjustment. The Fund's base fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.28% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the year ended March 31, 2022, 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 the respective class' performance to that of the Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds Index. The Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds Index tracks the total return performance of the largest funds within the Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds category.
The performance period for each share class consists of the current month plus the previous 35 months (or the number of months beginning July 1, 2019, if fewer). The following table is utilized to determine the extent of the performance adjustment:
Over/Under Performance Relative to Index (in basis points)(a) | | Annual Adjustment Rate (in basis points) | |
| +/- 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 the 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 General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
For the period April 1, 2021, to March 31, 2022, performance adjustments were $484, less than $1, and less than $(1) for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A, in thousands, respectively. Performance adjustments were 0.02%, less than 0.01%, and (0.01)% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A, respectively. The performance adjustment rate included in the investment advisory
39
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
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 March 31, 2022, the Fund had no subadvisers.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM also 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 March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Sub-Administration fees.
The Fund (as part of the Trust) has entered into an agreement with the Adviser to provide compliance services, 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. The 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 March 31, 2022, 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 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 March 31, 2022, 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
40
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
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 March 31, 2022, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as 12b-1 fees.
In addition, the Distributor is entitled to receive commissions in connection with sales of Class A. For the year ended March 31, 2022, the Distributor received less than $1 thousand from commissions earned in connection with 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 March 31, 2022, 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 limits for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. Performance adjustments, 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 March 31, 2022, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 0.48%, 0.44%, and 0.70% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A, respectively.
Under the terms of the expense limitation agreement, as 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 Adviser 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 March 31, 2022, 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 repayments are not probable at March 31, 2022.
Expires 2023 | | Expires 2024 | | Expires 2025 | | Total | |
$ | 14 | | | $ | 62 | | | $ | 35 | | | $ | 111 | | |
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 March 31, 2022.
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.
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.
41
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
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.
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.
Market Risk — Overall market risks may affect the value of the Fund. Domestic and international factors such as political events, war, terrorism, trade disputes, inflation rates, interest rate levels and other fiscal and monetary policy changes, cybersecurity incidents, pandemics and other public health crises, sanctions against a particular foreign country, its nationals, businesses or industries and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods, or other catastrophes, may add to instability in global economies and markets generally, and may lead to increased market volatility. Global economies and financial markets are highly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region might adversely affect issuers in another country or region. The impact of these and other factors may be short-term or may last for extended periods.
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 28, 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 March 31, 2022, 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 London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus one percent, with LIBOR to be replaced by a different benchmark rate in accordance with the terms of the agreement)
42
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
on amounts borrowed. Prior to June 28, 2021, the Victory Funds Complex paid an annual commitment fee of 0.15% and an upfront fee of 0.10%. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex paid a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Interest charged to the 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 March 31, 2022.
Interfund Lending:
The Trust and the 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 reflected on the Statement of Operations under Interfund lending.
The average borrowing or lending for the days outstanding and average interest rate for the Fund during the year ended March 31, 2022, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Borrower or Lender | | Amount Outstanding at March 31, 2022 | | Average Borrowing* | | Days Borrowing Outstanding | | Average Interest Rate* | | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | |
Borrower | | $ | — | | | $ | 3,998 | | | | 1 | | | | 0.57 | % | | $ | 3,998 | | |
* For the year ended March 31, 2022, based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding.
7. 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 March 31, 2022, on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, there were no permanent book-to-tax difference reclassification adjustments.

As of March 31, 2022, the components of accumulated earnings (loss) on a tax basis were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Undistributed Tax Exempt Income | | Distributions Payable | | Accumulated Earnings | | Accumulated Capital and Other Losses | | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)* | | Total Accumulated Earnings (Loss) | |

* 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 defaulted bond adjustments.
As of March 31, 2022, 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA Tax Exempt Long-Term Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA Tax Exempt Long-Term Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more Victory Capital investment companies since 1995.

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 October 1, 2021, through March 31, 2022.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical expenses in the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| | Beginning Account Value 10/1/21 | | Actual Ending Account Value 3/31/22 | | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 3/31/22 | | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 10/1/21- 3/31/22* | | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 10/1/21- 3/31/22* | | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 10/1/21- 3/31/22 | |

Considerations of the Board in Continuing the Investment Advisory Agreement
USAA Tax Exempt Long-Term Fund (the "Fund")
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") held on December 9-10, 2021, the Board, including the Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Trust (the "Independent Trustees"), approved for an annual period the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") between the Trust and Victory Capital Management Inc. (the "Adviser") with respect to the Fund. Prior to the December 9-10, 2021 meeting at which the Advisory Agreement was approved, the Independent Trustees also discussed and considered information regarding the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement at a meeting held on November 19, 2021.
In advance of the foregoing meetings, the Trustees received and considered a variety of information relating to the Advisory Agreement and the Adviser, and were given the opportunity to ask questions and request additional information from management. The information provided to the Board included, among other things: (i) a separate report prepared by an independent third party of mutual fund data, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Fund's investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable investment companies; (ii) information concerning the services rendered to the Fund, as well as information regarding the Adviser's revenues and costs of providing services to the Fund and compensation paid to affiliates of the Adviser; and (iii) information about the Adviser's operations and personnel. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees reviewed the proposed continuance of the Advisory Agreement with management and with experienced independent counsel retained by the Independent Trustees ("Independent Counsel") and received materials from such Independent Counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund in private sessions with Independent Counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
At each regularly scheduled meeting of the Board and its committees, the Board receives and reviews, among other things, information concerning the Fund's performance and related services provided by the Adviser. At the meeting at which the renewal of the Advisory Agreement is considered, particular focus is given to information concerning Fund performance, fees and total expenses as compared to comparable investment companies, and the Adviser's profitability with respect to the Fund. However, the Board noted that the evaluation process with respect to the Adviser is an ongoing one. In this regard, the Board's and its committees' consideration of the Advisory Agreement included information previously received at such meetings. The Board also recognized that the contractual arrangements for the Fund have been reviewed by the Board and discussed with the Adviser in prior years and that the Board's conclusions may be based, in part, on its consideration of these same arrangements in prior years.
Advisory Agreement
After full consideration of a variety of factors, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Advisory Agreement. In approving the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors. Throughout their deliberations, the Independent Trustees were represented and assisted by Independent Counsel.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services — In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Adviser relating to its operations and personnel. The Board also took into account its knowledge of the Adviser's management and the quality of the performance of the Adviser's duties through Board meetings, discussions, and reports during the preceding year. The Board considered the fees paid to the Adviser and the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, as well as other services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates under other agreements, and the personnel who provide these services. In addition to the investment advisory services provided to the Fund, the Adviser and its affiliates provide administrative services, shareholder
53
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Supplemental Information — continued March 31, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
services, oversight of Fund accounting, marketing services, assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, and other services necessary for the operation of the Fund and the Trust.
The Board considered the scope of services provided by, and the undertakings required of, the Adviser in connection with those services, including, among other things, maintaining (i) its own and the Fund's compliance programs, (ii) risk management programs, (iii) liquidity risk management programs, and (iv) cybersecurity programs, each of which had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market, and other developments. The Board also considered the significant risks assumed by the Adviser in connection with the services provided to the Fund, including investment, operational, enterprise, litigation, regulatory and compliance risks.
The Board considered the Adviser's management style and the performance of the Adviser's duties under the Advisory Agreement. The Board considered the level and depth of knowledge of the Adviser, including the professional experience and qualifications of its senior and investment personnel, as well as current staffing levels. The allocation of the Fund's brokerage, including the Adviser's process for monitoring "best execution," also was considered. The Adviser's role in coordinating the activities of the Fund's other service providers was also considered. The Board also considered the Adviser's risk management processes. The Board considered the Adviser's financial condition and that it had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide the same scope and high quality of services under the Advisory Agreement. In reviewing the Advisory Agreement, the Board focused on the experience, resources, and strengths of the Adviser and its affiliates in managing the Fund, as well as the other funds in the Trust.
The Board also reviewed the compliance and administrative services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates, including the Adviser's oversight of the Fund's day-to-day operations and oversight of Fund accounting. The Trustees, guided also by information obtained from their experiences as Trustees of the Trust, also focused on the quality of the Adviser's compliance and administrative staff.
Expenses and Performance — In connection with its consideration of the Advisory Agreement, the Board evaluated the Fund's advisory fees and total expense ratio as compared to other open-end investment companies deemed to be comparable to the Fund as determined by the independent third party in its report. The Fund's expenses were compared to (i) a group of investment companies chosen by the independent third party to be comparable to the Fund based upon certain factors, including fund type, comparability of investment objective and classification, sales load type, asset size, and expense components (the "expense group") and (ii) a larger group of investment companies with the same investment classification/objective as the Fund regardless of asset size, excluding outliers (the "expense universe"). Among other data, the Board noted that the Fund's net management fee rate — which includes advisory and administrative services and the effects of any performance adjustment1, as well as any fee waivers and reimbursements — was below the medians of its expense group and expense universe. The data indicated that the Fund's total expenses, including after any reimbursements, were below the medians of its expense group and expense universe. The Board also took into account the Adviser's current undertakings to maintain expense limitations for the Fund. The Board took into account the various other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates and noted the high quality of services received by the Fund.
In considering the Fund's performance, the Board noted that it reviews at its regularly scheduled meetings information about the Fund's performance results. The Trustees also reviewed various comparative data provided to them in connection with their consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Fund's average annual total returns relative to its Lipper index and other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group by the independent third party in its report (the "performance universe"). The Fund's performance universe consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional open-end investment companies with the same classification/objective as the Fund regardless of asset size or primary channel of distribution. This comparison indicated that, among other data, the Fund's performance was above the average of its performance universe and its Lipper index for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2021.
1 The Adviser previously agreed that no performance adjustment (positive or negative) would be made to the amount payable to the Adviser from July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020.

Compensation and Profitability — The Board took into consideration the level and method of computing the management fee. The information considered by the Board included operating profit margin information for the Adviser's business as a whole. The Board also received and considered profitability information related to the management revenues from the Fund. This information included a review of the methodology used in the allocation of certain costs to the Fund. In considering the profitability data with respect to the Fund, the Trustees noted that the Adviser waived a portion of its management fees and/or reimbursed certain expenses with respect to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed the profitability of the Adviser's relationship with the Fund before tax expenses. The Board was also provided with a profitability analysis of other publicly traded asset managers prepared by an independent information service. In reviewing the overall profitability of the management fee to the Adviser, the Board also considered the fact that the Adviser and its affiliates provide shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Fund for which they receive compensation. The Board also considered the possible direct and indirect benefits to the Adviser from its relationship with the Trust, including that the Adviser may derive reputational and other benefits from its association with the Fund. The Trustees recognized that the Adviser should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits in exchange for the level of services it provides to the Fund and the entrepreneurial and other risks that it assumes as Adviser.
Economies of Scale — The Board considered whether there should be changes in the management fee rate or structure in order to enable the Fund to participate in any economies of scale. The Board also considered the fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements by the Adviser. The Board took into account management's discussion of the Fund's current advisory fee structure. The Board also considered the effect of the change in size, if any, of each of the Fund's classes on its performance and fees, noting that the Fund may realize other economies of scale if assets increase proportionally more than expenses. The Board determined that the current investment management fee structure was reasonable.
Conclusions — The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Fund's Advisory Agreement with the Adviser: (i) the Adviser has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Advisory Agreement; (ii) the Adviser maintains an appropriate compliance program; (iii) the overall performance of the Fund is reasonable in relation to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant indices; (iv) the Fund's advisory expenses are reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Adviser; and (v) the Adviser's and its affiliates' level of profitability from their relationship with the Fund is reasonable in light of the nature and high quality of services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates and the type of fund. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that continuation of the Advisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

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 11, 2022, 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,
Just as the calendar year ended, investors were quickly reminded that financial markets go up and down. A host of worries have recently conspired to disturb the markets. Inflation data has been running hotter than expected; the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") has embarked on a new rate-hike cycle. And, of course, we're all watching a terrible war unfold in Eastern Europe. All these issues have ratcheted up uncertainties and market volatility in both stock and bond markets.
Given these concerns, it's no surprise that sentiment has turned negative and investors have become more focused on risk management and downside protection. We believe it's important to look back at financial markets through a wider lens. Despite the recent turmoil and the headwinds of the past year — including new COVID-19 variants, disruptions among global supply chains, and rising interest rates — the S&P 500® Index, the bell-weather proxy for our domestic stock market, once again delivered positive annual total returns during the annual reporting period.
Still, underlying this positive performance were interesting differences among investment styles and market capitalizations. In general, large-cap stocks outperformed smaller capitalization companies for the full annual reporting period. Meanwhile, growth-oriented styles led value-oriented investments during the first half of our annual reporting period, while the reverse was true during the back half of the year (as measured by the Russell family of indices). Perhaps this reflects investors' expectations for future higher interest rates and corresponding higher borrowing costs?
There were other notable subplots, too. During much of 2021 we watched crypto assets captivate investors, only to see them cycle up and down several times as we all sought to grasp the potential of their emerging blockchain technologies. Also intriguing was how the biotech sector struggled mightily for much of the past year despite the success and fanfare surrounding the COVID-19 vaccines. Meanwhile, rising oil prices fueled impressive gains across the energy landscape, and other commodities (including gold) helped fuel returns in some investors' diversified portfolios. These were just a few of the themes of the past year.
Despite the recent pullback, the S&P 500 Index still registered an impressive annual total return of nearly 16% for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2022. Over this same annual period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 58 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point), thanks to the Fed's stated intentions to shift to a less accommodative monetary policy. This was evidenced in March 2022 when the Fed raised the target federal funds rate by 25 basis points, the first rate hike in three years. At the end of our reporting period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury was trending higher and finished at 2.32%.
Although we were encouraged by another resilient year for financial markets, we fully acknowledge that unusual events of recent times — as well as the heightened volatility of early 2022 — may make investors uneasy. However, our experience managing portfolios through various economic cycles (including more than one unusual market crisis) has taught us to remain calm in the face of market turmoil. It is our view that, a long-term perspective, a well-diversified portfolio across asset
2
classes and investment types, and a clear understanding of individual risk tolerances are some of the key ingredients for staying the course and progressing on investment goals.
Of course, no one knows for certain what the future will bring. We are already facing a new and less accommodative Fed, which has unequivocally stated its intent to harness the recent elevated inflation readings. As a result, we believe interest rates appear ready to increase further. Labor shortages, continuing supply chain issues, elevated commodity prices, and the Russia-Ukraine war are among the headwinds investors are now navigating. There will be other challenges ahead, with some yet to be identified.
Thus, we cannot tell you with any certainty what markets will do in the future, but we can assure you that the investment professionals at all our independent franchises continually monitor the market environment and work hard to position portfolios opportunistically no matter what the markets bring.
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, we encourage you to contact our Representatives. Call (800) 235-8396 or visit our website at www.vcm.com.

USAA Tax Exempt Intermediate-Term Fund
Manager's Commentary
(Unaudited)
• What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
Tax-exempt bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index, generated negative returns during the 12-month reporting period ended March 31, 2022, due largely to rising municipal bond yields in the last quarter of the fiscal year. (Bond prices and yields move in opposite directions.)
The reporting period began with the municipal market fighting the headwinds of potentially higher U.S. Treasury rates and inflation, but with several notable tailwinds in support to include: heavy fund flows into tax-exempt mutual funds, investor expectations of increasing tax rates, and stimulus money flowing to municipal borrowers. During the first three quarters of the fiscal year, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index returned 1.87%.
The municipal market turned meaningfully negative in the first quarter of 2022. The Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index returned -6.23% for the quarter. The negative returns were driven by a material increase in Treasury and AAA Municipal Bond yields. These rates rose significantly in response to the U.S. Federal Reserve's initiation of monetary tightening. Negative returns were also driven by significant outflows of assets from municipal bond mutual funds.
At the end of the reporting period, the yield on the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index was 2.60%, which was notably higher than at the start of the fiscal year (1.18% on March 31, 2021). While the increase in rates detracted from performance during this fiscal year, we believe the higher rates should drive higher returns over the long-term.
• How did the USAA Tax Exempt Intermediate-Term 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 March 31, 2022, the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A had a total return (at net asset value) of -3.86%, -3.78%, and -4.10%, respectively, versus an average return of -3.87% amongst the funds in the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds category. This compares to returns of -3.96% for the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Index, and -4.21% for the Bloomberg Municipal 1-15 Years Blend Index.
• What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?
In keeping with our investment approach, we continued to focus on income generation. The Fund's long-term income distribution, not its price appreciation, accounts for most of its total return. Because of the Fund's income orientation, it has a higher allocation to BBB and A rated categories when compared to its peer group.
Our commitment to independent credit research continued to help us identify attractive opportunities for the Fund. We employ fundamental analysis that emphasizes an issuer's ability and willingness to repay its debt. Through our credit research, we strive both to

Manager's Commentary (continued)
recognize relative value and to avoid potential pitfalls, which is especially important in volatile times like the present. As always, we worked with our in-house team of analysts to select investments for the Fund on a bond-by-bond basis. Our team continuously monitors all the holdings in the Fund's portfolio.
The Fund continues to hold a diversified portfolio of intermediate-term, primarily investment-grade municipal bonds. To limit exposure to an unexpected event, the Fund is diversified by sector, issuer, and geography. In addition, we avoid bonds subject to the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals.
Thank you for allowing us to assist you with your investment needs.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements March 31, 2022 | |
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 45 funds and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with no par value.
The accompanying financial statements are those of the USAA Tax Exempt Intermediate-Term Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers three classes of shares: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A. Effective March 18, 2022, the Class Z was liquidated. 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 U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("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.

("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.
52
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
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 net asset value ("NAV") to be more reliable than it otherwise would be.
A summary of the valuations as of March 31, 2022, 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 | |
Municipal Bonds | | $ | — | | | $ | 4,680,776 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 4,680,776 | | |
Total | | $ | — | | | $ | 4,680,776 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 4,680,776 | | |
For the year ended March 31, 2022, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
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. Payments 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.
Below-Investment-Grade Securities:
The Fund may invest in below-investment-grade securities (i.e., lower-quality, "junk" debt), which are subject to various risks. Lower-quality debt is considered to be speculative because it is less certain that the issuer will be able to pay interest or repay the principal than in the case of investment-grade debt. These securities can involve a substantially greater risk of default than higher-rated securities, and their values can decline significantly over short periods of time. Lower-quality debt securities tend to be more sensitive to adverse news about their issuers, the market and the economy in general, than higher-quality debt securities. The market for these securities can be less liquid, especially during periods of recession or general market decline.
Investment Transactions and Related Income:
Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date or 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
53
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Fund has a tax year end of March 31.
For the year ended March 31, 2022, the Fund did not incur any income tax, interest, or penalties, and has recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions.
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 March 31, 2022, 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) | |
$ | 148,985 | | | $ | 116,055 | | | $ | — | | |
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. Purchases and Sales:
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) for the year ended March 31, 2022, were as follows for the Fund (amounts in thousands):
Excluding U.S. Government Securities | |
Purchases | | Sales | |
$ | 695,117 | | | $ | 644,561 | | |

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
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 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.
Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive a base fee and a performance adjustment. The Fund's base fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.28% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the year ended March 31, 2022, 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 Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Index. The Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Index tracks the total return performance of the largest funds within the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds category.
The performance period for each share class consists of the current month plus the previous 35 months (or the number of months beginning July 1, 2019, if fewer). The following table is utilized to determine the extent of the performance adjustment:
Over/Under Performance Relative to Index (in basis points)(a) | | Annual Adjustment Rate (in basis points) | |
| +/- 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 Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
For the period April 1, 2021, to March 31, 2022, performance adjustments were $2,134, $53, and $8 for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A, in thousands, respectively. Performance adjustments were 0.05%, less than 0.01%, and 0.03% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A, respectively. For the period April 1, 2021 to March 18, 2022, performance fees were less than $1 thousand for Class Z. Performance adjustments were less than 0.01% for Class Z.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.
55
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
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 March 31, 2022, the Fund had no subadvisers.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM also 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. VCM does not receive any fees from Class Z for these services. Amounts incurred for the year ended March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Sub-Administration fees.
The Fund (as part of the Trust) has entered into an agreement with the Adviser to provide compliance services, 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. The 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 March 31, 2022, 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 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. VCTA does not receive any fees from Class Z for these services. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the year ended March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as 12b-1 fees.
56
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
In addition, the Distributor is entitled to receive commissions in connection with sales of Class A. For the year ended March 31, 2022, the Distributor received $3 thousand from commissions earned in connection with 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 March 31, 2022, 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 limits for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. Performance adjustments, 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 March 31, 2022, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 0.48%, 0.44%, and 0.75% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A, respectively.
Under the terms of the expense limitation agreement, as 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 Adviser 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 March 31, 2022, 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 repayments are not probable at March 31, 2022.
Expires 2023 | | Expires 2024 | | Expires 2025 | | Total | |
$ | 16 | | | $ | 172 | | | $ | 1,053 | | | $ | 1,241 | | |
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 March 31, 2022.
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.
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.
57
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
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.
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 — The London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") discontinuation may adversely affect the financial markets generally and the Fund's operations, finances and investments specifically. LIBOR has been the principal floating-rate benchmark in the financial markets, and a large portion of the Fund's assets are tied to LIBOR. However, LIBOR has been or will be discontinued as a floating rate benchmark. The date of discontinuation depends on the LIBOR currency and tenor. With limited exceptions, no new LIBOR obligations will be entered into after December 31, 2021. Existing LIBOR obligations have transitioned or will transition to another benchmark, depending on the LIBOR currency and tenor. For some existing LIBOR-based obligations, the contractual consequences of the discontinuation of LIBOR may not be clear.
Non-LIBOR floating-rate obligations, including Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR")-based obligations, may have returns and values that fluctuate more than those of floating-rate debt obligations that are based on LIBOR or other rates. Also, because SOFR and some alternative floating rates are relatively new market indexes, markets for certain non-LIBOR obligations may never develop or may not be liquid. Market terms for non-LIBOR floating rate obligations, such as the spread over the index reflected in interest-rate provisions, may evolve over time, and prices of non-LIBOR floating rate obligations may be different depending on when they are issued and changing views about correct spread levels.
Various SOFR-based rates, including SOFR-based term rates, and various non-SOFR-based rates are expected to develop in response to the discontinuation of U.S. dollar LIBOR, which may create various risks for the Fund and the financial markets more generally. There are non-LIBOR forward-looking floating rates that are not based on SOFR and that may be considered by participants in the financial markets as LIBOR alternatives. Such rates include Ameribor (American Interbank Offered Rate), BSBY (Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index) and BYI (Bank Yield Index). Unlike forward-looking SOFR-based term rates, such rates are intended to reflect a bank credit spread component.
It is not clear how replacement rates for LIBOR — including SOFR-based rates and non-SOFR-based rates — will develop and to what extent they will be used. There is no assurance that these replacement rates will be suitable substitutes for LIBOR, and thus the substitution of such rates for LIBOR could have an adverse effect on the Fund and the financial markets more generally. Concerns about market depth and stability could affect the development of non-SOFR-based term rates, and such rates may create various risks, which may or may not be similar to the risks relating to SOFR.
58
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
Market Risk — Overall market risks may affect the value of the Fund. Domestic and international factors such as political events, war, terrorism, trade disputes, inflation rates, interest rate levels and other fiscal and monetary policy changes, cybersecurity incidents, pandemics and other public health crises, sanctions against a particular foreign country, its nationals, businesses or industries and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods, or other catastrophes, may add to instability in global economies and markets generally, and may lead to increased market volatility. Global economies and financial markets are highly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region might adversely affect issuers in another country or region. The impact of these and other factors may be short-term or may last for extended periods.
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 28, 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 March 31, 2022, 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, with LIBOR to be replaced by a different benchmark rate in accordance with the terms of the agreement) on amounts borrowed. Prior to June 28, 2021, the Victory Funds Complex paid an annual commitment fee of 0.15% and an upfront fee of 0.10%. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex paid a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Interest charged to the 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 March 31, 2022.
Interfund Lending:
The Trust and the 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 reflected on the Statement of Operations under Interfund lending.
The average borrowing or lending for the days outstanding and average interest rate for the Fund during the year ended March 31, 2022, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Borrower or Lender | | Amount Outstanding at March 31, 2022 | | Average Borrowing* | | Days Borrowing Outstanding | | Average Interest Rate* | | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | |
| Borrower | | | $ | — | | | $ | 4,281 | | | | 2 | | | | 0.72 | % | | $ | 5,799 | | |
* For the year ended March 31, 2022, based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
7. 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 March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022 | | Year Ended March 31, 2021 | |
Distributions Paid From | | | | Distributions Paid From | | | |
Tax-Exempt Income | | Total Distributions Paid | | Tax-Exempt Income | | Total Distributions Paid | |
$ | 123,614 | | | $ | 123,614 | | | $ | 132,118 | | | $ | 132,118 | | |
As of March 31, 2022, the components of accumulated earnings (loss) on a tax basis were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Undistributed Tax Exempt Income | | Distributions Payable | | Accumulated Earnings | | Accumulated Capital and Other Losses | | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)* | | Total Accumulated Earnings (Loss) | |
$ | 12,817 | | | $ | (10,727 | ) | | $ | 2,090 | | | $ | (110,412 | ) | | $ | 45,957 | | | $ | (62,365 | ) | |
* 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 defaulted bond adjustments.
As of March 31, 2022, 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 | |
$ | 45,360 | | | $ | 65,052 | | | $ | 110,412 | | |
As of March 31, 2022, 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) | |
$ | 4,634,819 | | | $ | 111,192 | | | $ | (65,235 | ) | | $ | 45,957 | | |

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 March 31, 2022, 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, 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 October 1, 2021, through March 31, 2022.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical expenses in the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| | Beginning Account Value 10/1/21 | | Actual Ending Account Value 3/31/22 | | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 3/31/22 | | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 10/1/21- 3/31/22* | | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 10/1/21- 3/31/22* | | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 10/1/21- 3/31/22 | |
Fund Shares | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 948.80 | | | $ | 1,022.34 | | | $ | 2.53 | | | $ | 2.62 | | | | 0.52 | % | |

* Expenses are equal to the average account value multiplied by the Fund's annualized expense ratio multiplied by 184/365 (the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year).

Considerations of the Board in Continuing the Investment Advisory Agreement
USAA Tax Exempt Intermediate-Term Fund (the "Fund")
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") held on December 9-10, 2021, the Board, including the Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Trust (the "Independent Trustees"), approved for an annual period the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") between the Trust and Victory Capital Management Inc. (the "Adviser") with respect to the Fund. Prior to the December 9-10, 2021 meeting at which the Advisory Agreement was approved, the Independent Trustees also discussed and considered information regarding the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement at a meeting held on November 19, 2021.
In advance of the foregoing meetings, the Trustees received and considered a variety of information relating to the Advisory Agreement and the Adviser, and were given the opportunity to ask questions and request additional information from management. The information provided to the Board included, among other things: (i) a separate report prepared by an independent third party of mutual fund data, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Fund's investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable investment companies; (ii) information concerning the services rendered to the Fund, as well as information regarding the Adviser's revenues and costs of providing services to the Fund and compensation paid to affiliates of the Adviser; and (iii) information about the Adviser's operations and personnel. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees reviewed the proposed continuance of the Advisory Agreement with management and with experienced independent counsel retained by the Independent Trustees ("Independent Counsel") and received materials from such Independent Counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund in private sessions with Independent Counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
At each regularly scheduled meeting of the Board and its committees, the Board receives and reviews, among other things, information concerning the Fund's performance and related services provided by the Adviser. At the meeting at which the renewal of the Advisory Agreement is considered, particular focus is given to information concerning Fund performance, fees and total expenses as compared to comparable investment companies, and the Adviser's profitability with respect to the Fund. However, the Board noted that the evaluation process with respect to the Adviser is an ongoing one. In this regard, the Board's and its committees' consideration of the Advisory Agreement included information previously received at such meetings. The Board also recognized that the contractual arrangements for the Fund have been reviewed by the Board and discussed with the Adviser in prior years and that the Board's conclusions may be based, in part, on its consideration of these same arrangements in prior years.
Advisory Agreement
After full consideration of a variety of factors, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Advisory Agreement. In approving the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors. Throughout their deliberations, the Independent Trustees were represented and assisted by Independent Counsel.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services — In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Adviser relating to its operations and personnel. The Board also took into account its knowledge of the Adviser's management and the quality of the performance of the Adviser's duties through Board meetings, discussions, and reports during the preceding year. The Board considered the fees paid to the Adviser and the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, as well as other services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates under other agreements, and the personnel who provide these services. In addition to the investment advisory services provided to the Fund, the Adviser and its affiliates provide administrative services, shareholder services, oversight of Fund accounting, marketing services, assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, and other services necessary for the operation of the Fund and the Trust.
69
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Supplemental Information — continued March 31, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
The Board considered the scope of services provided by, and the undertakings required of, the Adviser in connection with those services, including, among other things, maintaining (i) its own and the Fund's compliance programs, (ii) risk management programs, (iii) liquidity risk management programs, and (iv) cybersecurity programs, each of which had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market, and other developments. The Board also considered the significant risks assumed by the Adviser in connection with the services provided to the Fund, including investment, operational, enterprise, litigation, regulatory and compliance risks.
The Board considered the Adviser's management style and the performance of the Adviser's duties under the Advisory Agreement. The Board considered the level and depth of knowledge of the Adviser, including the professional experience and qualifications of its senior and investment personnel, as well as current staffing levels. The allocation of the Fund's brokerage, including the Adviser's process for monitoring "best execution," also was considered. The Adviser's role in coordinating the activities of the Fund's other service providers was also considered. The Board also considered the Adviser's risk management processes. The Board considered the Adviser's financial condition and that it had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide the same scope and high quality of services under the Advisory Agreement. In reviewing the Advisory Agreement, the Board focused on the experience, resources, and strengths of the Adviser and its affiliates in managing the Fund, as well as the other funds in the Trust.
The Board also reviewed the compliance and administrative services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates, including the Adviser's oversight of the Fund's day-to-day operations and oversight of Fund accounting. The Trustees, guided also by information obtained from their experiences as Trustees of the Trust, also focused on the quality of the Adviser's compliance and administrative staff.
Expenses and Performance — In connection with its consideration of the Advisory Agreement, the Board evaluated the Fund's advisory fees and total expense ratio as compared to other open-end investment companies deemed to be comparable to the Fund as determined by the independent third party in its report. The Fund's expenses were compared to (i) a group of investment companies chosen by the independent third party to be comparable to the Fund based upon certain factors, including fund type, comparability of investment objective and classification, sales load type, asset size, and expense components (the "expense group") and (ii) a larger group of investment companies with the same investment classification/objective as the Fund regardless of asset size, excluding outliers (the "expense universe"). Among other data, the Board noted that the Fund's net management fee rate — which includes advisory and administrative services and the effects of any performance adjustment1, as well as any fee waivers and reimbursements — was below the median of its expense group and above the median of its expense universe. The data indicated that the Fund's total expenses, including after any reimbursements, were above the median of its expense group and below the median of its expense universe. The Board also took into account the Adviser's current undertakings to maintain expense limitations for the Fund. The Board took into account the various other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates and noted the high quality of services received by the Fund.
In considering the Fund's performance, the Board noted that it reviews at its regularly scheduled meetings information about the Fund's performance results. The Trustees also reviewed various comparative data provided to them in connection with their consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Fund's average annual total returns relative to its Lipper index and other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group by the independent third party in its report (the "performance universe"). The Fund's performance universe consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional open-end investment companies with the same classification/objective as the Fund regardless of asset size or primary channel of distribution. This comparison indicated that, among other data, the Fund's performance was above the average of its performance universe and its Lipper index for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2021.
Compensation and Profitability — The Board took into consideration the level and method of computing the management fee. The information considered by the Board included operating profit margin information for the Adviser's business as a whole. The Board also received and considered profitability information related to the management revenues from the Fund. This information included a review of the methodology used in the allocation of certain costs to the Fund. In considering the profitability data with respect to the Fund, the Trustees
1 The Adviser previously agreed that no performance adjustment (positive or negative) would be made to the amount payable to the Adviser from July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Supplemental Information — continued March 31, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
noted that the Adviser waived a portion of its management fees and/or reimbursed certain expenses with respect to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed the profitability of the Adviser's relationship with the Fund before tax expenses. The Board was also provided with a profitability analysis of other publicly traded asset managers prepared by an independent information service. In reviewing the overall profitability of the management fee to the Adviser, the Board also considered the fact that the Adviser and its affiliates provide shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Fund for which they receive compensation. The Board also considered the possible direct and indirect benefits to the Adviser from its relationship with the Trust, including that the Adviser may derive reputational and other benefits from its association with the Fund. The Trustees recognized that the Adviser should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits in exchange for the level of services it provides to the Fund and the entrepreneurial and other risks that it assumes as Adviser.
Economies of Scale — The Board considered whether there should be changes in the management fee rate or structure in order to enable the Fund to participate in any economies of scale. The Board also considered the fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements by the Adviser. The Board took into account management's discussion of the Fund's current advisory fee structure. The Board also considered the effect of the change in size, if any, of each of the Fund's classes on its performance and fees, noting that the Fund may realize other economies of scale if assets increase proportionally more than expenses. The Board determined that the current investment management fee structure was reasonable.
Conclusions — The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Fund's Advisory Agreement with the Adviser: (i) the Adviser has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Advisory Agreement; (ii) the Adviser maintains an appropriate compliance program; (iii) the overall performance of the Fund is reasonable in relation to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant indices; (iv) the Fund's advisory expenses are reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Adviser; and (v) the Adviser's and its affiliates' level of profitability from their relationship with the Fund is reasonable in light of the nature and high quality of services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates and the type of fund. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that continuation of the Advisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

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 11, 2022, 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,
Just as the calendar year ended, investors were quickly reminded that financial markets go up and down. A host of worries have recently conspired to disturb the markets. Inflation data has been running hotter than expected; the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") has embarked on a new rate-hike cycle. And, of course, we're all watching a terrible war unfold in Eastern Europe. All these issues have ratcheted up uncertainties and market volatility in both stock and bond markets.
Given these concerns, it's no surprise that sentiment has turned negative and investors have become more focused on risk management and downside protection. We believe it's important to look back at financial markets through a wider lens. Despite the recent turmoil and the headwinds of the past year — including new COVID-19 variants, disruptions among global supply chains, and rising interest rates — the S&P 500® Index, the bell-weather proxy for our domestic stock market, once again delivered positive annual total returns during the annual reporting period.
Still, underlying this positive performance were interesting differences among investment styles and market capitalizations. In general, large-cap stocks outperformed smaller capitalization companies for the full annual reporting period. Meanwhile, growth-oriented styles led value-oriented investments during the first half of our annual reporting period, while the reverse was true during the back half of the year (as measured by the Russell family of indices). Perhaps this reflects investors' expectations for future higher interest rates and corresponding higher borrowing costs?
There were other notable subplots, too. During much of 2021 we watched crypto assets captivate investors, only to see them cycle up and down several times as we all sought to grasp the potential of their emerging blockchain technologies. Also intriguing was how the biotech sector struggled mightily for much of the past year despite the success and fanfare surrounding the COVID-19 vaccines. Meanwhile, rising oil prices fueled impressive gains across the energy landscape, and other commodities (including gold) helped fuel returns in some investors' diversified portfolios. These were just a few of the themes of the past year.
Despite the recent pullback, the S&P 500 Index still registered an impressive annual total return of nearly 16% for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2022. Over this same annual period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 58 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point), thanks to the Fed's stated intentions to shift to a less accommodative monetary policy. This was evidenced in March 2022 when the Fed raised the target federal funds rate by 25 basis points, the first rate hike in three years. At the end of our reporting period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury was trending higher and finished at 2.32%.
Although we were encouraged by another resilient year for financial markets, we fully acknowledge that unusual events of recent times — as well as the heightened volatility of early 2022 — may make investors uneasy. However, our experience managing portfolios through various economic cycles (including more than one unusual market crisis) has taught us to remain calm in the face of market turmoil. It is our view that, a long-term perspective, a well-diversified portfolio across asset
2
classes and investment types, and a clear understanding of individual risk tolerances are some of the key ingredients for staying the course and progressing on investment goals.
Of course, no one knows for certain what the future will bring. We are already facing a new and less accommodative Fed, which has unequivocally stated its intent to harness the recent elevated inflation readings. As a result, we believe interest rates appear ready to increase further. Labor shortages, continuing supply chain issues, elevated commodity prices, and the Russia-Ukraine war are among the headwinds investors are now navigating. There will be other challenges ahead, with some yet to be identified.
Thus, we cannot tell you with any certainty what markets will do in the future, but we can assure you that the investment professionals at all our independent franchises continually monitor the market environment and work hard to position portfolios opportunistically no matter what the markets bring.

USAA Tax Exempt Short-Term Fund
Manager's Commentary
(Unaudited)
• What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
Tax-exempt bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index, generated negative returns during the 12-month reporting period ended March 31, 2022, due largely to rising municipal bond yields in the last quarter of the fiscal year. (Bond prices and yields move in opposite directions.)
The reporting period began with the municipal market fighting the headwinds of potentially higher U.S. Treasury rates and inflation, but with several notable tailwinds in support to include: heavy fund flows into tax-exempt mutual funds, investor expectations of increasing tax rates, and stimulus money flowing to municipal borrowers. During the first three quarters of the fiscal year, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index returned 1.87%.
The municipal market turned meaningfully negative in the first quarter of 2022. The Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index returned -6.23% for the quarter. The negative returns were driven by a material increase in Treasury and AAA Municipal Bond yields. These rates rose significantly in response to the U.S. Federal Reserve's initiation of monetary tightening. Negative returns were also driven by significant outflows of assets from municipal bond mutual funds.
At the end of the reporting period, the yield on the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index was 2.60%, which was notably higher than at the start of the fiscal year (1.18% on March 31, 2021). While the increase in rates detracted from performance during this fiscal year, we believe the higher rates should drive higher returns over the long-term.
• How did the USAA Tax Exempt Short-Term 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 March 31, 2022, the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A had a total return (at net asset value) of -2.52%, -2.43%, and -2.64%, respectively, versus an average return of -2.04% amongst the funds in the Lipper Short Municipal Debt Funds category. This compares to returns of -1.84% for the Lipper Short Municipal Debt Funds Index and -3.06% for the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Short (1-5 Years) Index.
• What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?
In keeping with our investment approach, we continued to focus on income generation. The Fund's long-term income distribution, not its price appreciation, accounts for most of its total return.

USAA Tax Exempt Short-Term Fund (continued)
Manager's Commentary (continued)
During the reporting period, we continued to invest a portion of the portfolio in variable rate demand notes ("VRDNs"). The VRDNs owned by the Fund have interest rates that adjust daily/weekly to the market. VRDNs also possess a "demand" feature that allows us to sell the bond at par value with notice of seven days or less, which helps us reduce share price volatility and gives us the flexibility to act when attractive opportunities arise.
Our commitment to independent credit research continued to help us identify attractive opportunities for the Fund. We employ fundamental analysis that emphasizes an issuer's ability and willingness to repay its debt. Through our credit research, we strive both to recognize relative value and to avoid potential pitfalls, which is especially important in volatile times like the present. As always, we worked with our in-house team of analysts to select investments for the Fund on a bond-by-bond basis. Our team continuously monitors all the holdings in the Fund's portfolio.
The Fund continues to hold a diversified portfolio of shorter-term, primarily investment-grade municipal bonds. To limit exposure to an unexpected event, the Fund is diversified by sector, issuer, and geography. In addition, we avoid bonds subject to the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals.
Thank you for allowing us to assist you with your investment needs.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements March 31, 2022 | |
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 45 funds and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with no par value.
The accompanying financial statements are those of the USAA Tax Exempt Short-Term Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers three classes of shares: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A. 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 U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund follows the specialized accounting and reporting requirements under GAAP that are applicable to investment companies under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.
Investment Valuation:
The Fund records investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Fund's investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities or interest rates applicable to those securities, etc.)
• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuation techniques are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with entering into those investments.
Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or the "Adviser") has established the Pricing and Liquidity Committee (the "Committee"), and subject to the Trust's Board of Trustees' (the "Board") oversight, the Committee administers and oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures, which are approved by the Board.
30
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
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 net asset value ("NAV") to be more reliable than it otherwise would be.
A summary of the valuations as of March 31, 2022, 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 | |
Municipal Bonds | | $ | — | | | $ | 988,452 | | | $ | 2,439 | | | $ | 990,891 | | |
Total | | $ | — | | | $ | 988,452 | | | $ | 2,439 | | | $ | 990,891 | | |
For the year ended March 31, 2022, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
Securities Purchased on a Delayed-Delivery or When-Issued Basis:
The Fund may purchase securities on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis, or for delayed draws on loans can take place a month or more after the trade date. At the time the Fund makes the commitment to purchase a security on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis, the Fund records the transaction and reflects the value of the security in determining NAV. No interest accrues to the Fund until the transaction settles and payment takes place. A segregated account is established and the Fund maintains cash and/or marketable securities at least equal in value to commitments for delayed-delivery or when-issued securities. If the Fund owns delayed-delivery or when-issued securities, these values are included in Payables 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. Payments 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.
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.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
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 or 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 March 31.
For the year ended March 31, 2022, the Fund did not incur any income tax, interest, or penalties, and has recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions.
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 March 31, 2022, 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) | |
$ | 66,680 | | | $ | 67,770 | | | $ | — | | |
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. Purchases and Sales:
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) for the year ended March 31, 2022, were as follows for the Fund (amounts in thousands):
Excluding U.S. Government Securities | |
Purchases | | Sales | |
$ | 152,652 | | | $ | 165,998 | | |
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 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.
Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive a base fee and a performance adjustment. The Fund's base fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.28% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the year ended March 31, 2022, 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 Municipal Debt Funds Index. The Lipper Short Municipal Debt Funds Index tracks the total return performance of the largest funds within the Lipper Short Municipal Debt Funds category.
The performance period for each share class consists of the current month plus the previous 35 months (or the number of months beginning July 1, 2019, if fewer). The following table is utilized to determine the extent of the performance adjustment:
Over/Under Performance Relative to Index (in basis points)(a) | | Annual Adjustment Rate (in basis points)(a) | |
| +/- 20 to 50 | | | | +/- 4 | | |
| +/- 51 to 100 | | | | +/- 5 | | |
| +/- 101 and greater | | | | +/- 6 | | |
(a) Based on the difference between 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.
33
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
Under the performance fee arrangement, each class pays a positive performance fee adjustment for a performance period whenever the class outperforms the Lipper Short Municipal Debt Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
For the period April 1, 2021, to March 31, 2022, performance adjustments were $555, $4, and $4 for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A, in thousands, respectively. Performance adjustments were 0.05%, 0.01%, and 0.03% 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 March 31, 2022, the Fund had no subadvisers.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM also 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 March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Sub-Administration fees.
The Fund (as part of the Trust) has entered into an agreement with the Adviser to provide compliance services, 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. The 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 March 31, 2022, 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 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 March 31, 2022, 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.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
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 March 31, 2022, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as 12b-1 fees.
In addition, the Distributor is entitled to receive commissions in connection with sales of Class A. For the year ended March 31, 2022, the Distributor received less than $1 thousand from commissions earned in connection with 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 March 31, 2022, 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 limits for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. Performance adjustments, 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 March 31, 2022, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 0.51%, 0.47%, and 0.75% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A, respectively.
Under the terms of the expense limitation agreement, as 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 Adviser 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 March 31, 2022, 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 repayments are not probable at March 31, 2022.
Expires 2023 | | Expires 2024 | | Expires 2025 | | Total | |
$ | 10 | | | $ | 68 | | | $ | 50 | | | $ | 128 | | |
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 March 31, 2022.
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.
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.
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 — The London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") discontinuation may adversely affect the financial markets generally and the Fund's operations, finances and investments specifically. LIBOR has been the principal floating-rate benchmark in the financial markets, and a large portion of the Fund's assets are tied to LIBOR. However, LIBOR has been or will be discontinued as a floating rate benchmark. The date of discontinuation depends on the LIBOR currency and tenor. With limited exceptions, no new LIBOR obligations will be entered into after December 31, 2021. Existing LIBOR obligations have transitioned or will transition to another benchmark, depending on the LIBOR currency and tenor. For some existing LIBOR-based obligations, the contractual consequences of the discontinuation of LIBOR may not be clear.
Non-LIBOR floating-rate obligations, including Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR")-based obligations, may have returns and values that fluctuate more than those of floating-rate debt obligations that are based on LIBOR or other rates. Also, because SOFR and some alternative floating rates are relatively new market indexes, markets for certain non-LIBOR obligations may never develop or may not be liquid. Market terms for non-LIBOR floating rate obligations, such as the spread over the index reflected in interest-rate provisions, may evolve over time, and prices of non-LIBOR floating rate obligations may be different depending on when they are issued and changing views about correct spread levels.
36
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
Various SOFR-based rates, including SOFR-based term rates, and various non-SOFR-based rates are expected to develop in response to the discontinuation of U.S. dollar LIBOR, which may create various risks for the Fund and the financial markets more generally. There are non-LIBOR forward-looking floating rates that are not based on SOFR and that may be considered by participants in the financial markets as LIBOR alternatives. Such rates include Ameribor (American Interbank Offered Rate), BSBY (Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index) and BYI (Bank Yield Index). Unlike forward-looking SOFR-based term rates, such rates are intended to reflect a bank credit spread component.
It is not clear how replacement rates for LIBOR — including SOFR-based rates and non-SOFR-based rates — will develop and to what extent they will be used. There is no assurance that these replacement rates will be suitable substitutes for LIBOR, and thus the substitution of such rates for LIBOR could have an adverse effect on the Fund and the financial markets more generally. Concerns about market depth and stability could affect the development of non-SOFR-based term rates, and such rates may create various risks, which may or may not be similar to the risks relating to SOFR.
Market Risk — Overall market risks may affect the value of the Fund. Domestic and international factors such as political events, war, terrorism, trade disputes, inflation rates, interest rate levels and other fiscal and monetary policy changes, cybersecurity incidents, pandemics and other public health crises, sanctions against a particular foreign country, its nationals, businesses or industries and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods, or other catastrophes, may add to instability in global economies and markets generally, and may lead to increased market volatility. Global economies and financial markets are highly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region might adversely affect issuers in another country or region. The impact of these and other factors may be short-term or may last for extended periods.
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 28, 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 March 31, 2022, 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, with LIBOR to be replaced by a different benchmark rate in accordance with the terms of the agreement) on amounts borrowed. Prior to June 28, 2021, the Victory Funds Complex paid an annual commitment fee of 0.15% and an upfront fee of 0.10%. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex paid a pro-rata portion of the upfront fee. Interest charged to the 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 March 31, 2022.
Interfund Lending:
The Trust and the 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
37
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued March 31, 2022 | |
emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund's borrowing restrictions. The interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. As a Borrower, interest charged to the Fund, if any, during the period, is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Interfund lending fees. As a Lender, interest earned by the Fund, if any, during the period, is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Interfund lending.
The Fund did not utilize or participate in the Facility during the year ended March 31, 2022.
7. 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 March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022 | | Year Ended March 31, 2021 | |
Distributions Paid From | | | | Distributions Paid From | |

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA Tax Exempt Short-Term Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA Tax Exempt Short-Term Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022, 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, 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 October 1, 2021, through March 31, 2022.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical expenses in the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| | Beginning Account Value 10/1/21 | | Actual Ending Account Value 3/31/22 | | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 3/31/22 | | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 10/1/21- 3/31/22* | | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 10/1/21- 3/31/22* | | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 10/1/21- 3/31/22 | |

Considerations of the Board in Continuing the Investment Advisory Agreement
USAA Tax Exempt Short-Term Fund (the "Fund")
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") held on December 9-10, 2021, the Board, including the Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Trust (the "Independent Trustees"), approved for an annual period the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") between the Trust and Victory Capital Management Inc. (the "Adviser") with respect to the Fund. Prior to the December 9-10, 2021 meeting at which the Advisory Agreement was approved, the Independent Trustees also discussed and considered information regarding the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement at a meeting held on November 19, 2021.
In advance of the foregoing meetings, the Trustees received and considered a variety of information relating to the Advisory Agreement and the Adviser, and were given the opportunity to ask questions and request additional information from management. The information provided to the Board included, among other things: (i) a separate report prepared by an independent third party of mutual fund data, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Fund's investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable investment companies; (ii) information concerning the services rendered to the Fund, as well as information regarding the Adviser's revenues and costs of providing services to the Fund and compensation paid to affiliates of the Adviser; and (iii) information about the Adviser's operations and personnel. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees reviewed the proposed continuance of the Advisory Agreement with management and with experienced independent counsel retained by the Independent Trustees ("Independent Counsel") and received materials from such Independent Counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund in private sessions with Independent Counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
At each regularly scheduled meeting of the Board and its committees, the Board receives and reviews, among other things, information concerning the Fund's performance and related services provided by the Adviser. At the meeting at which the renewal of the Advisory Agreement is considered, particular focus is given to information concerning Fund performance, fees and total expenses as compared to comparable investment companies, and the Adviser's profitability with respect to the Fund. However, the Board noted that the evaluation process with respect to the Adviser is an ongoing one. In this regard, the Board's and its committees' consideration of the Advisory Agreement included information previously received at such meetings. The Board also recognized that the contractual arrangements for the Fund have been reviewed by the Board and discussed with the Adviser in prior years and that the Board's conclusions may be based, in part, on its consideration of these same arrangements in prior years.
Advisory Agreement
After full consideration of a variety of factors, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Advisory Agreement. In approving the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors. Throughout their deliberations, the Independent Trustees were represented and assisted by Independent Counsel.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services — In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Adviser relating to its operations and personnel. The Board also took into account its knowledge of the Adviser's management and the quality of the performance of the Adviser's duties through Board meetings, discussions, and reports during the preceding year. The Board considered the fees paid to the Adviser and the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, as well as other services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates under other agreements, and the personnel who provide these services. In addition to the investment advisory services provided to the Fund, the Adviser and its affiliates provide administrative services, shareholder

(Unaudited)
services, oversight of Fund accounting, marketing services, assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, and other services necessary for the operation of the Fund and the Trust.
The Board considered the scope of services provided by, and the undertakings required of, the Adviser in connection with those services, including, among other things, maintaining (i) its own and the Fund's compliance programs, (ii) risk management programs, (iii) liquidity risk management programs, and (iv) cybersecurity programs, each of which had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market, and other developments. The Board also considered the significant risks assumed by the Adviser in connection with the services provided to the Fund, including investment, operational, enterprise, litigation, regulatory and compliance risks.
The Board considered the Adviser's management style and the performance of the Adviser's duties under the Advisory Agreement. The Board considered the level and depth of knowledge of the Adviser, including the professional experience and qualifications of its senior and investment personnel, as well as current staffing levels. The allocation of the Fund's brokerage, including the Adviser's process for monitoring "best execution," also was considered. The Adviser's role in coordinating the activities of the Fund's other service providers was also considered. The Board also considered the Adviser's risk management processes. The Board considered the Adviser's financial condition and that it had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide the same scope and high quality of services under the Advisory Agreement. In reviewing the Advisory Agreement, the Board focused on the experience, resources, and strengths of the Adviser and its affiliates in managing the Fund, as well as the other funds in the Trust.
The Board also reviewed the compliance and administrative services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates, including the Adviser's oversight of the Fund's day-to-day operations and oversight of Fund accounting. The Trustees, guided also by information obtained from their experiences as Trustees of the Trust, also focused on the quality of the Adviser's compliance and administrative staff.
Expenses and Performance — In connection with its consideration of the Advisory Agreement, the Board evaluated the Fund's advisory fees and total expense ratio as compared to other open-end investment companies deemed to be comparable to the Fund as determined by the independent third party in its report. The Fund's expenses were compared to (i) a group of investment companies chosen by the independent third party to be comparable to the Fund based upon certain factors, including fund type, comparability of investment objective and classification, sales load type, asset size, and expense components (the "expense group") and (ii) a larger group of investment companies with the same investment classification/objective as the Fund regardless of asset size, excluding outliers (the "expense universe"). Among other data, the Board noted that the Fund's net management fee rate — which includes advisory and administrative services and the effects of any performance adjustment1, as well as any fee waivers and reimbursements — was above the medians of its expense group and expense universe. The data indicated that the Fund's total expenses, including after any reimbursements, were below the medians of its expense group and expense universe. The Board also took into account the Adviser's current undertakings to maintain expense limitations for the Fund. The Board took into account the various other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates and noted the high quality of services received by the Fund.
In considering the Fund's performance, the Board noted that it reviews at its regularly scheduled meetings information about the Fund's performance results. The Trustees also reviewed various comparative data provided to them in connection with their consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Fund's average annual total returns relative to its Lipper index and other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group by the independent third party in its report (the "performance universe"). The Fund's performance universe consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional open-end investment companies with the same classification/objective as the Fund regardless of asset size or primary channel of distribution. This comparison indicated that, among other data, the Fund's performance was above the average of its performance universe and its Lipper index for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2021.
1 The Adviser previously agreed that no performance adjustment (positive or negative) would be made to the amount payable to the Adviser from July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020.

Compensation and Profitability — The Board took into consideration the level and method of computing the management fee. The information considered by the Board included operating profit margin information for the Adviser's business as a whole. The Board also received and considered profitability information related to the management revenues from the Fund. This information included a review of the methodology used in the allocation of certain costs to the Fund. In considering the profitability data with respect to the Fund, the Trustees noted that the Adviser waived a portion of its management fees and/or reimbursed certain expenses with respect to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed the profitability of the Adviser's relationship with the Fund before tax expenses. The Board was also provided with a profitability analysis of other publicly traded asset managers prepared by an independent information service. In reviewing the overall profitability of the management fee to the Adviser, the Board also considered the fact that the Adviser and its affiliates provide shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Fund for which they receive compensation. The Board also considered the possible direct and indirect benefits to the Adviser from its relationship with the Trust, including that the Adviser may derive reputational and other benefits from its association with the Fund. The Trustees recognized that the Adviser should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits in exchange for the level of services it provides to the Fund and the entrepreneurial and other risks that it assumes as Adviser.
Economies of Scale — The Board considered whether there should be changes in the management fee rate or structure in order to enable the Fund to participate in any economies of scale. The Board also considered the fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements by the Adviser. The Board took into account management's discussion of the Fund's current advisory fee structure. The Board also considered the effect of the change in size, if any, of each of the Fund's classes on its performance and fees, noting that the Fund may realize other economies of scale if assets increase proportionally more than expenses. The Board determined that the current investment management fee structure was reasonable.
Conclusions — The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Fund's Advisory Agreement with the Adviser: (i) the Adviser has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Advisory Agreement; (ii) the Adviser maintains an appropriate compliance program; (iii) the overall performance of the Fund is reasonable in relation to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant indices; (iv) the Fund's advisory expenses are reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Adviser; and (v) the Adviser's and its affiliates' level of profitability from their relationship with the Fund is reasonable in light of the nature and high quality of services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates and the type of fund. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that continuation of the Advisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

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 11, 2022, 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.
