Dear Shareholder,
It certainly has been an interesting — make that challenging — year for investors. If anything, our most recent annual reporting period ended July 31, 2022 reminded us of two enduring realities: 1) financial markets are dynamic and apt to change abruptly; 2) it's vitally important that we remain calm and rational whenever faced with those inevitable bouts of turmoil.
Consider what the past year has dealt us. The latter half of 2021 was largely constructive for financial markets, with record corporate earnings, ample liquidity in markets, and investors largely embracing risk assets. But as the calendar year turned, the script flipped. Almost overnight investor sentiment turned negative. There were many culprits. Inflation data was running persistently hotter than expected, with some of the highest readings in decades. Even the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") stopped calling inflation "transitory" and pivoted to a restrictive monetary policy. The Fed is now singularly focused on inflation and has embarked on a new aggressive rate-hike cycle. On top of all that, a terrible war began (and continues) in Eastern Europe, which fueled rising energy prices and slowed global growth.
These issues, among other factors, have ratcheted up market volatility in both stock and bond markets. Many broad market stock indices pulled back substantially during the first half of 2022 and even entered "bear market" territory in June, which is typically considered a 20% pullback from the most recent highs. Meanwhile, fixed income investors were also dealing with elevated volatility, and wide swaths of the bond market struggled in the face of rising interest rates. For a short while, bonds were not acting as their traditional counterbalance to equities, and that further troubled investors.
Just as quickly the script flipped again as our annual reporting period was drawing to a close. Risk was back on and investors seemingly went bargain hunting in July. Most equity indexes bounced back smartly — not fully recovering losses since the beginning of the calendar year but still making sharp moves higher.
Throughout the ups and downs of the past annual reporting period, there have been interesting subplots playing out within the broader market as different investment styles and sectors took turns in leadership positions. For example, it was interesting to watch crypto assets captivate investors through the earlier part of our annual reporting period, only to see them fall out of favor as sentiment soured. Ironically, those "less-exciting" assets, such as utilities and even money market funds, have been among the better performing throughout 2022. Indeed, things really can change markedly, and if anything, this underscores the importance of diversification.
Looking at the numbers we see that the S&P 500® Index, the bell-weather proxy for our domestic stock market, had an annual total return of -4.64% for the 12-month period ended July 31, 2022. Over this same annual period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 143 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point), thanks largely to the Fed's policy shift and several aggressive rate hikes. At the end of our reporting period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury finished at 2.67%.
Given the volatile market environment of the past year, it's comforting that we can draw on our experience managing portfolios through all market environments. This
2
has taught us to remain calm in the face of turmoil. It's imperative that investors do the same, as opposed to chasing short-term trends and acting emotionally. It is our view that a long-term plan, 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.
As ever, there will be challenges ahead. The Fed has declared its intent to continue raising rates even as some elevated inflation readings begin to decline. Labor shortages, ongoing supply chain issues, elevated energy prices, and the Russia-Ukraine war are among the headwinds investors continue to navigate. There's even been some chatter about a possible recession in 2023.
Although no one can definitively predict what markets will do in the future, we can assure you that the investment professionals at all our independent franchises continually monitor the 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 Fund, brought to you by Victory Capital. If you have any questions regarding the current market dynamics or your specific portfolio or investment plan, we encourage you to contact our representatives. Call (800) 235-8396 or visit our website at www.vcm.com.
From all of us here at Victory Capital, thank you for letting us help you work toward your investment goals.

Managers' Commentary
(Unaudited)
• What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
Financial markets produced broadly flat returns during the early part of the annual reporting period ended July 31, 2022. Conditions were initially supportive in 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 U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") indicated 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.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine in February of 2022 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 U.S. 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 remained focused on the Fed and whether it can engineer a soft landing amidst the highest inflation readings in 40 years.
The second quarter of 2022 saw continued pressure on stocks and bonds. The Fed's hawkish pivot, which started in the fourth quarter of 2021, continued to put pressure on equity valuation multiples, especially for long-duration growth stocks. With inflation readings hitting four-decade highs, the Fed now faced an increasingly difficult task of implementing policy strong enough to tame inflation and provide a "soft landing" for the economy, while not being too aggressive and tilting the economy into recession. This risk contributed to the heightened stock market volatility, in addition to mounting COVID-related lockdowns in China, rising oil prices, and the ongoing conflict between Russia and the Ukraine.

USAA Capital Growth Fund
Managers' Commentary (continued)
In May the Fed raised rates by 50 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point) and by an additional 75 basis points in both June and July to combat inflation. Stocks and bonds began to rally in mid-June and continued to move higher through the end of the reporting period in July. Factors contributing to the rally included declining oil prices, economic data that was generally supportive of the underlying strength of the economy, and second quarter earnings season that was better than feared. The yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury Note declined almost 100 basis points over this period, inverting the yield curve, and reflecting a near-term shift in sentiment that the Fed might not need to be quite as aggressive as initially feared.
• How did the USAA Capital Growth Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?
The Fund has two share classes: Fund Shares and Institutional Shares. For the reporting period ended July 31, 2022, the Fund Shares and Institutional Shares had total returns of -6.74% and -6.68%, respectively. This compares to returns of -10.48% for the MSCI All-Country World Index (the "Index") and -15.07% for the Lipper Global Funds Index.
• What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?
For the reporting period, the Fund outperformed the Index as stock selection and sector allocation both were positive contributors to performance versus the Index. Stock selection within the information technology and industrials contributed to performance, while the Fund's selection within financials hurt performance. In terms of allocation, an overweight position to the industrials hurt performance, while an underweight to the communication services helped.
Thank you for allowing us to assist you with your investment needs.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements July 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 Capital Growth Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers two classes of shares: Fund Shares and Institutional Shares. The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.
Each class of shares of the Fund has substantially identical rights and privileges, except with respect to fees paid under distribution plans, expenses allocable exclusively to each class of shares, voting rights on matters solely affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange privilege of each class of shares.
Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with 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.
34
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 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.
In accordance with procedures adopted by the Board, fair value pricing may be used if events materially affecting the value of foreign securities occur between the time the exchange on which they are traded closes and the time the Fund's NAV is calculated. The Fund uses a systematic valuation model, provided daily by an independent third party to fair value its international equity securities. The valuations are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
A summary of the valuations as of July 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 | $ | 531,973 | $ | 263,688 | $ | 9 | $ | 795,670 | |||||||||||
Exchange-Traded Funds | 365 | — | — | 365 | |||||||||||||||
Collateral for Securities Loaned | 2,481 | — | — | 2,481 | |||||||||||||||
Total | $ | 534,819 | $ | 263,688 | $ | 9 | $ | 798,516 |
For the year ended July 31, 2022, there were no significant transfers into/out of Level 3.
Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"):
The Fund may invest in REITs, which report information on the source of their distributions annually. REITs are pooled investment vehicles that invest primarily in income producing real estate or real estate related loans or interests (such as mortgages). Certain distributions received from REITs during the year are recorded as realized gains or return of capital as estimated by the Fund or when such information becomes known.
Investment Companies:
Exchange-Traded Funds:
The Fund may invest in ETFs, the shares of which are bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and represents a fixed portfolio of securities often designed to track the performance and dividend yield of a particular domestic or foreign market index. The Fund may purchase shares of an ETF to temporarily gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market while awaiting purchase of underlying securities. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities 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.
35
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
Open-End Funds:
The Fund may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the board of directors of the underlying funds.
Foreign Exchange Currency Contracts:
The Fund may enter into foreign exchange currency contracts to convert U.S. dollars to and from various foreign currencies. A foreign exchange currency contract is an obligation by the Fund to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date at a price (in U.S. dollars) set at the time of the contract. The Fund does not engage in "cross-currency" foreign exchange contracts (i.e., contracts to purchase or sell one foreign currency in exchange for another foreign currency). The Fund's foreign exchange currency contracts might be considered spot contracts (typically a contract of one week or less) or forward contracts (typically a contract term over one week). A spot contract is entered into for purposes of hedging against foreign currency fluctuations relating to a specific portfolio transaction, such as the delay between a security transaction trade date and settlement date. Forward contracts are entered into for purposes of hedging portfolio holdings or concentrations of such holdings. Each foreign exchange currency contract is adjusted daily by the prevailing spot or forward rate of the underlying currency, and any appreciation or depreciation is recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the contract settlement date, at which time the Fund records realized gains or losses equal to the difference between the value of a contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The Fund could be exposed to risk if a counterparty is unable to meet the terms of a foreign exchange currency contract or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. In addition, the use of foreign exchange currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. As of July 31, 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 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
36
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
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 July 31, 2022.
Value of Securities on Loan | Non-Cash Collateral | Cash Collateral | |||||||||
$ | 2,450 | $ | — | $ | 2,481 |
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.
The Fund filed for additional European Union reclaims related to prior years. These reclaims are recorded when the amount is known and there are no significant uncertainties on collectability. For the year ended July 31, 2022, the Fund recognized $185 thousand in reclaims, of which $4 thousand of the amount is related to interest on the filed reclaims. These reclaims and interest are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Dividend Income and Interest Income, respectively.
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 July 31.
For the year ended July 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.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
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 July 31, 2022, were as follows for the Fund (amounts in thousands):
Excluding | |||||||
Purchases | Sales | ||||||
$ | 500,205 | $ | 527,959 |
4. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties:
Investment Advisory Fees:
Investment advisory services are provided to the Fund by the Adviser, which is a New York corporation registered as an investment adviser with the SEC. The Adviser is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Victory Capital Holdings, Inc., a publicly traded Delaware corporation, and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Victory Capital Operating, LLC.
Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive a base fee and a performance adjustment. The Fund's base fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.75% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the year ended July 31, 2022, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Investment advisory fees.
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 Funds Index. The Lipper Global Funds Index tracks the total return performance of the largest funds within the Lipper Global Funds category.
The performance period for each share class consists of the current month plus the previous 35 months. 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.
38
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 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 Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
For the period August 1, 2021, to July 31, 2022, performance adjustments were $(81) and $(1) for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, in thousands, respectively. Performance adjustments were less than (0.01)% and (0.04)% for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, respectively. The performance adjustment rate included in the investment advisory fee may differ from the maximum over/under Annual Adjustment Rate due to differences in average net assets for the reporting period and rolling 36 month performance periods.
The Trust relies on an exemptive order granted to VCM and its affiliated funds by the SEC in March 2019, permitting the use of a "manager-of-managers" structure for certain funds. Under a manager-of-managers structure, the investment adviser may select (with approval of the Board and without shareholder approval) one or more subadvisers to manage the day-to-day investment of a fund's assets. For the year ended July 31, 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 Institutional Shares, respectively. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 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 July 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 July 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 July 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.
39
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 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 July 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 November 30, 2023. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of the Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense 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 July 31, 2022, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 1.12% and 1.10% for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, respectively.
Under the terms of the expense limitation agreement, as amended June 29, 2022, 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.
As of July 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 July 31, 2022.
Expires 2024 | Expires 2025 | Total | |||||||||
$ | 9 | $ | 13 | $ | 22 |
The Adviser may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Fund in maintaining competitive expense ratios. Voluntary waivers and reimbursements applicable to the Fund are not available to be recouped at a future time. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the year ended July 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 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.
40
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
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 27, 2022, with a termination date of June 26, 2023. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex may borrow up to $600 million, of which $300 million is committed and $300 million is uncommitted. $40 million of the Line of Credit is reserved for use by the Victory Floating Rate Fund, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with Victory Floating Rate Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended July 31, 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 paid a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest on amounts borrowed. For the period from August 1, 2021, through June 27, 2022, interest was based on the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus one percent. Effective with the renewal, for the period June 28, 2022, through July 31, 2022, interest was based on the one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 1.10 percent. 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 July 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 July 31, 2022.
7. Federal Income Tax Information:
The Fund intends to distribute any net investment income annually. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.
41
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively, distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
As of July 31, 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 | ||||||
$ | (2,364 | ) | $ | 2,364 |
The tax character of distributions paid during the tax years ended, as noted below, were as follows (total distributions paid may differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because, for tax purposes, dividends are recognized when actually paid) (amounts in thousands):
Year Ended July 31, 2022 | Year Ended July 31, 2021 | ||||||||||||||||||||||

$ | 47,916 | $ | 58,087 | $ | 106,003 | $ | 16,192 | $ | 8,852 | $ | 25,044 |
As of July 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 | Other Earnings (Loss) | Accumulated Earnings | Qualified Late-Year Losses* | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)** | Total Accumulated Earnings (Loss) | |||||||||||||||||||||
$ | 7,543 | $ | 48,441 | $ | (155 | ) | $ | 55,829 | $ | (5,431 | ) | $ | 95,087 | $ | 145,485 |
* Qualified late-year losses are comprised of post-October capital losses incurred after October 31 and certain late-year ordinary losses. These losses are deemed to arise on the first day of the Fund's next taxable year.
** The difference between the book-basis and tax-basis of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and passive foreign investment company adjustments.
As of July 31, 2022, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.
As of July 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):

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA Capital Growth Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA Capital Growth Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of July 31, 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 July 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 July 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 and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from February 1, 2022, through July 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.

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,
It certainly has been an interesting — make that challenging — year for investors. If anything, our most recent annual reporting period ended July 31, 2022 reminded us of two enduring realities: 1) financial markets are dynamic and apt to change abruptly; 2) it's vitally important that we remain calm and rational whenever faced with those inevitable bouts of turmoil.
Consider what the past year has dealt us. The latter half of 2021 was largely constructive for financial markets, with record corporate earnings, ample liquidity in markets, and investors largely embracing risk assets. But as the calendar year turned, the script flipped. Almost overnight investor sentiment turned negative. There were many culprits. Inflation data was running persistently hotter than expected, with some of the highest readings in decades. Even the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") stopped calling inflation "transitory" and pivoted to a restrictive monetary policy. The Fed is now singularly focused on inflation and has embarked on a new aggressive rate-hike cycle. On top of all that, a terrible war began (and continues) in Eastern Europe, which fueled rising energy prices and slowed global growth.
These issues, among other factors, have ratcheted up market volatility in both stock and bond markets. Many broad market stock indices pulled back substantially during the first half of 2022 and even entered "bear market" territory in June, which is typically considered a 20% pullback from the most recent highs. Meanwhile, fixed income investors were also dealing with elevated volatility, and wide swaths of the bond market struggled in the face of rising interest rates. For a short while, bonds were not acting as their traditional counterbalance to equities, and that further troubled investors.
Just as quickly the script flipped again as our annual reporting period was drawing to a close. Risk was back on and investors seemingly went bargain hunting in July. Most equity indexes bounced back smartly — not fully recovering losses since the beginning of the calendar year but still making sharp moves higher.
Throughout the ups and downs of the past annual reporting period, there have been interesting subplots playing out within the broader market as different investment styles and sectors took turns in leadership positions. For example, it was interesting to watch crypto assets captivate investors through the earlier part of our annual reporting period, only to see them fall out of favor as sentiment soured. Ironically, those "less-exciting" assets, such as utilities and even money market funds, have been among the better performing throughout 2022. Indeed, things really can change markedly, and if anything, this underscores the importance of diversification.
Looking at the numbers we see that the S&P 500® Index, the bell-weather proxy for our domestic stock market, had an annual total return of -4.64% for the 12-month period ended July 31, 2022. Over this same annual period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 143 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point), thanks largely to the Fed's policy shift and several aggressive rate hikes. At the end of our reporting period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury finished at 2.67%.
2
Given the volatile market environment of the past year, it's comforting that we can draw on our experience managing portfolios through all market environments. This has taught us to remain calm in the face of turmoil. It's imperative that investors do the same, as opposed to chasing short-term trends and acting emotionally. It is our view that a long-term plan, 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.
As ever, there will be challenges ahead. The Fed has declared its intent to continue raising rates even as some elevated inflation readings begin to decline. Labor shortages, ongoing supply chain issues, elevated energy prices, and the Russia-Ukraine war are among the headwinds investors continue to navigate. There's even been some chatter about a possible recession in 2023.
Although no one can definitively predict what markets will do in the future, we can assure you that the investment professionals at all our independent franchises continually monitor the 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 Fund, brought to you by Victory Capital. If you have any questions regarding the current market dynamics or your specific portfolio or investment plan, we encourage you to contact our representatives.

USAA Aggressive Growth Fund
Managers' Commentary
(Unaudited)
• What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
Financial markets produced broadly flat returns during the early part of the annual reporting period ended July 31, 2022. Conditions were initially supportive in 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 U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") indicated 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.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine in February of 2022 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 U.S. 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 remained focused on the Fed and whether it can engineer a soft landing amidst the highest inflation readings in 40 years.
The second quarter of 2022 saw continued pressure on stocks and bonds. The Fed's hawkish pivot, which started in the fourth quarter of 2021, continued to put pressure on equity valuation multiples, especially for long-duration growth stocks. With inflation readings hitting four-decade highs, the Fed now faced an increasingly difficult task of implementing policy strong enough to tame inflation and provide a "soft landing" for the economy, while not being too aggressive and tilting the economy into recession. This risk contributed to the heightened stock market volatility, in addition to mounting COVID-related lockdowns in China, rising oil prices, and the ongoing conflict between Russia and the Ukraine.

USAA Aggressive Growth Fund
Managers' Commentary (continued)
In May the Fed raised rates by 50 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point) and by an additional 75 basis points in both June and July to combat inflation. Stocks and bonds began to rally in mid-June and continued to move higher through the end of the reporting period in July. Factors contributing to the rally included declining oil prices, economic data that was generally supportive of the underlying strength of the economy, and second quarter earnings season that was better than feared. The yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury Note declined almost 100 basis points over this period, inverting the yield curve, and reflecting a near-term shift in sentiment that the Fed might not need to be quite as aggressive as initially feared.
• How did the USAA Aggressive Growth Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?
The Fund has two share classes: Fund Shares and Institutional Shares. For the reporting period ended July 31, 2022, the Fund Shares and Institutional Shares had total returns of -23.75% and -23.73%, respectively. This compares to returns of -11.93% for the Russell 1000® Growth Index (the "Index") and -19.46% for the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index.
• What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?
For the reporting period, the Fund underperformed the Index as stock selection and sector allocation both detracted from performance versus the Index. In terms of allocation. An underweight to consumer staples hurt performance while an overweight to health care helped. Stock selection within the information technology and industrials sector were large negative contributors while stock selection in financials was positive.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements July 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 Aggressive Growth Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers two classes of shares: Fund Shares and Institutional Shares. The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.
Each class of shares of the Fund has substantially identical rights and privileges, except with respect to fees paid under distribution plans, expenses allocable exclusively to each class of shares, voting rights on matters solely affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange privilege of each class of shares.
Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with 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.
16
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
Portfolio securities listed or traded on securities exchanges, including Exchange-Traded Funds ("ETFs") are valued at the closing price on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, if available, or at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price. If there have been no sales for that day on the exchange or system, then a security is valued at the last available bid quotation on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
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 July 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 | $ | 1,608,479 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 1,608,479 | |||||||||||
Collateral for Securities Loaned | 4,188 | — | — | 4,188 | |||||||||||||||
Total | $ | 1,612,667 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 1,612,667 |
For the year ended July 31, 2022, there were no transfers into/out of Level 3.
Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"):
The Fund may invest in REITs, which report information on the source of their distributions annually. REITs are pooled investment vehicles that invest primarily in income producing real estate or real estate related loans or interests (such as mortgages). Certain distributions received from REITs during the year are recorded as realized gains or return of capital as estimated by the Fund or when such information becomes known.
Investment Companies:
Open-End Funds:
The Fund may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the board of directors of the underlying funds.
Investment Transactions and Related Income:
Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date 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
17
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
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 July 31, 2022.
Value of Securities on Loan | Non-Cash Collateral | Cash Collateral | |||||||||
$ | 4,098 | $ | — | $ | 4,188 |
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 July 31.
For the year ended July 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.

Excluding | |||||||
Purchases | Sales | ||||||
$ | 1,300,119 | $ | 1,455,795 |
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 first $750 million of the Fund's average daily net assets, 0.40% of that portion of the Fund's average daily net assets over $750 million but not over $1.5 billion, and 0.33% of that portion of the Fund's average daily net assets over $1.5 billion. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the year ended July 31, 2022, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Investment advisory fees.
The performance adjustment for each share class is accrued daily and calculated monthly by comparing the respective class' performance to that of the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index. The Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index tracks the total return performance of the largest funds within the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds category.
The performance period for each share class consists of the current month plus the previous 35 months. 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.
Under the performance fee arrangement, each class pays a positive performance fee adjustment for a performance period whenever the class outperforms the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
For the period August 1, 2021, to July 31, 2022, performance adjustments were $(898) and $(7) for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, in thousands, respectively. Performance adjustments were (0.05)% and (0.04)% for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, respectively. The performance adjustment rate included in the investment advisory fee may differ from the maximum over/under Annual Adjustment Rate due to differences in average net assets for the reporting period and rolling 36 month performance periods.
19
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 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 July 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 Institutional Shares, respectively. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 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 July 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 July 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 July 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 July 31, 2022, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Custodian fees.
K&L Gates LLP provides legal services to the Trust.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
The Adviser has entered into an expense limitation agreement with the Fund until at least November 30, 2023. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of the Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense 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 July 31, 2022, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 0.75% and 0.70% for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, respectively.
Under the terms of the expense limitation agreement, as amended June 29, 2022, 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.
As of July 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 July 31, 2022.
Expires 2023 | Expires 2024 | Expires 2025 | Expires Total | ||||||||||||
$ | 13 | $ | 10 | $ | 10 | $ | 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 July 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 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.
Large-Capitalization Stock Risk — The Fund invests in large-capitalization companies. Such investments may go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions and may underperform other market segments. Some large-capitalization companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges and attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion. As such, returns on investments in stocks

of large-capitalization companies could trail the returns on investments in stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies.
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 27, 2022, with a termination date of June 26, 2023. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex may borrow up to $600 million, of which $300 million is committed and $300 million is uncommitted. $40 million of the Line of Credit is reserved for use by the Victory Floating Rate Fund, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with Victory Floating Rate Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended July 31, 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 paid a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest on amounts borrowed. For the period from August 1, 2021, through June 27, 2022, interest was based on the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus one percent. Effective with the renewal, for the period June 28, 2022, through July 31, 2022, interest was based on the one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 1.10 percent. 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 July 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 July 31, 2022, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Borrower or Lender | Amount Outstanding at July 31, 2022 | Average Borrowing* | Days Borrowing Outstanding | Average Interest Rate* | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | ||||||||||||||||||
Borrower | $ | — | $ | 1,682 | 1 | 0.57 | % | $ | 1,682 |
* Based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding for the year ended July 31, 2022.
7. Federal Income Tax Information:
The Fund intends to distribute any net investment income annually. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively, distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax
22
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
As of July 31, 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 | ||||||
$ | 963 | $ | (963 | ) |
The tax character of distributions paid during the tax years ended, as noted below, were as follows (total distributions paid may differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because, for tax purposes, dividends are recognized when actually paid) (amounts in thousands):

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

$ | 32,316 | $ | 32,316 | $ | (2,437 | ) | $ | 473,642 | $ | 503,521 |
* Qualified late-year losses are comprised of certain late-year ordinary losses. Late-year ordinary losses represent ordinary losses incurred after December 31 and specified losses incurred after October 31. These losses are deemed to arise on the first day of the Fund's next taxable year.
** The difference between the book-basis and tax-basis of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and as-of trade activity.
As of July 31, 2022, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.
As of July 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):

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA Aggressive Growth Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA Aggressive Growth Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of July 31, 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 July 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 July 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 and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from February 1, 2022, through July 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.

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,
It certainly has been an interesting — make that challenging — year for investors. If anything, our most recent annual reporting period ended July 31, 2022 reminded us of two enduring realities: 1) financial markets are dynamic and apt to change abruptly; 2) it's vitally important that we remain calm and rational whenever faced with those inevitable bouts of turmoil.
Consider what the past year has dealt us. The latter half of 2021 was largely constructive for financial markets, with record corporate earnings, ample liquidity in markets, and investors largely embracing risk assets. But as the calendar year turned, the script flipped. Almost overnight investor sentiment turned negative. There were many culprits. Inflation data was running persistently hotter than expected, with some of the highest readings in decades. Even the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") stopped calling inflation "transitory" and pivoted to a restrictive monetary policy. The Fed is now singularly focused on inflation and has embarked on a new aggressive rate-hike cycle. On top of all that, a terrible war began (and continues) in Eastern Europe, which fueled rising energy prices and slowed global growth.
These issues, among other factors, have ratcheted up market volatility in both stock and bond markets. Many broad market stock indices pulled back substantially during the first half of 2022 and even entered "bear market" territory in June, which is typically considered a 20% pullback from the most recent highs. Meanwhile, fixed income investors were also dealing with elevated volatility, and wide swaths of the bond market struggled in the face of rising interest rates. For a short while, bonds were not acting as their traditional counterbalance to equities, and that further troubled investors.
Just as quickly the script flipped again as our annual reporting period was drawing to a close. Risk was back on and investors seemingly went bargain hunting in July. Most equity indexes bounced back smartly — not fully recovering losses since the beginning of the calendar year but still making sharp moves higher.
Throughout the ups and downs of the past annual reporting period, there have been interesting subplots playing out within the broader market as different investment styles and sectors took turns in leadership positions. For example, it was interesting to watch crypto assets captivate investors through the earlier part of our annual reporting period, only to see them fall out of favor as sentiment soured. Ironically, those "less-exciting" assets, such as utilities and even money market funds, have been among the better performing throughout 2022. Indeed, things really can change markedly, and if anything, this underscores the importance of diversification.
Looking at the numbers we see that the S&P 500® Index, the bell-weather proxy for our domestic stock market, had an annual total return of -4.64% for the 12-month period ended July 31, 2022. Over this same annual period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 143 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point), thanks largely to the Fed's policy shift and several aggressive rate hikes. At the end of our reporting period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury finished at 2.67%.
2
Given the volatile market environment of the past year, it's comforting that we can draw on our experience managing portfolios through all market environments. This has taught us to remain calm in the face of turmoil. It's imperative that investors do the same, as opposed to chasing short-term trends and acting emotionally. It is our view that a long-term plan, 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.
As ever, there will be challenges ahead. The Fed has declared its intent to continue raising rates even as some elevated inflation readings begin to decline. Labor shortages, ongoing supply chain issues, elevated energy prices, and the Russia-Ukraine war are among the headwinds investors continue to navigate. There's even been some chatter about a possible recession in 2023.
Although no one can definitively predict what markets will do in the future, we can assure you that the investment professionals at all our independent franchises continually monitor the 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 Fund, brought to you by Victory Capital. If you have any questions regarding the current market dynamics or your specific portfolio or investment plan, we encourage you to contact our representatives.

Managers' Commentary

• What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
Financial markets produced broadly flat returns during the early part of the annual reporting period ended July 31, 2022. Conditions were initially supportive in 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 U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") indicated 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.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine in February of 2022 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 U.S. 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 remained focused on the Fed and whether it can engineer a soft landing amidst the highest inflation readings in 40 years.
The second quarter of 2022 saw continued pressure on stocks and bonds. The Fed's hawkish pivot, which started in the fourth quarter of 2021, continued to put pressure on equity valuation multiples, especially for long-duration growth stocks. With inflation readings hitting four-decade highs, the Fed now faced an increasingly difficult task of implementing policy strong enough to tame inflation and provide a "soft landing" for the economy, while not being too aggressive and tilting the economy into recession. This risk contributed to the heightened stock market volatility, in addition to mounting COVID-related lockdowns in China, rising oil prices, and the ongoing conflict between Russia and the Ukraine.

USAA Growth Fund
Managers' Commentary (continued)
In May the Fed raised rates by 50 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point) and by an additional 75 basis points in both June and July to combat inflation. Stocks and bonds began to rally in mid-June and continued to move higher through the end of the reporting period in July. Factors contributing to the rally included declining oil prices, economic data that was generally supportive of the underlying strength of the economy, and second quarter earnings season that was better than feared. The yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury Note declined almost 100 basis points over this period, inverting the yield curve, and reflecting a near-term shift in sentiment that the Fed might not need to be quite as aggressive as initially feared.
• How did the USAA Growth Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?
The Fund has two share classes: Fund Shares and Institutional Shares. For the reporting period ended July 31, 2022, the Fund Shares and Institutional Shares had total returns of -22.11% and -22.09%, respectively. This compares to returns of -11.93% for the Russell 1000® Growth Index (the "Index") and -19.46% for the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index.
Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM") is the Fund's investment adviser. As the investment adviser, VCM employs dedicated resources to support the research, selection, and monitoring of the Fund's subadviser. Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P., is an external subadviser to the Fund, while NewBridge Asset Management and RS Investments Growth are VCM investment franchises that each manage portions of the Fund. Primary responsibility for the day-to-day discretionary management of the Fund lies with the subadviser and the investment franchises.
• What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?
For the reporting period, the Fund underperformed the Index as stock selection was the main detractor from performance while sector allocation also had a minor negative effect. In terms of allocation, an overweight position in communication services and underweight position in consumer staples hurt performance, while an overweight to health care helped. Stock selection within information technology and industrials detracted from performance while stock selection in financials was a positive contributor.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements July 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 Growth Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers two classes of shares: Fund Shares and Institutional Shares. The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.
Each class of shares of the Fund has substantially identical rights and privileges, except with respect to fees paid under distribution plans, expenses allocable exclusively to each class of shares, voting rights on matters solely affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange privilege of each class of shares.
Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with 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.
16
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 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 July 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 | $ | 2,634,659 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 2,634,659 | |||||||||||
Exchange-Traded Funds | 149,637 | — | — | 149,637 | |||||||||||||||
Collateral for Securities Loaned | 4,486 | — | — | 4,486 | |||||||||||||||
Total | $ | 2,788,782 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 2,788,782 |
For the year ended July 31, 2022, there were no transfers into/out of Level 3.
Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"):
The Fund may invest in REITs, which report information on the source of their distributions annually. REITs are pooled investment vehicles that invest primarily in income producing real estate or real estate related loans or interests (such as mortgages). Certain distributions received from REITs during the year are recorded as realized gains or return of capital as estimated by the Fund or when such information becomes known.
Investment Companies:
Exchange-Traded Funds:
The Fund may invest in ETFs, the shares of which are bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and represents a fixed portfolio of securities often designed to track the performance and dividend yield of a particular domestic or foreign market index. The Fund may purchase shares of an ETF to temporarily gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market while awaiting purchase of underlying securities. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities 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
17
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the board of directors of the underlying funds.
Investment Transactions and Related Income:
Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date 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 July 31, 2022.
Value of Securities on Loan | Non-Cash Collateral | Cash Collateral | |||||||||
$ | 4,398 | $ | — | $ | 4,486 |
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.
18
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 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 July 31.
For the year ended July 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 July 31, 2022, were as follows for the Fund (amounts in thousands):

19
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
5. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties:
Investment Advisory Fees:
Investment advisory services are provided to the Fund by the Adviser, which is a New York corporation registered as an investment adviser with the SEC. The Adviser is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Victory Capital Holdings, Inc., a publicly traded Delaware corporation, and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Victory Capital Operating, LLC.
Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive a base fee and a performance adjustment. The Fund's base fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.65% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the year ended July 31, 2022, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Investment advisory fees.
The performance adjustment for each share class is accrued daily and calculated monthly by comparing the respective class' performance to that of the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index. The Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index tracks the total return performance of the largest funds within the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds category.
The performance period for each share class consists of the current month plus the previous 35 months. 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.
Under the performance fee arrangement, each class pays a positive performance fee adjustment for a performance period whenever the class outperforms the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
For the period August 1, 2021, to July 31, 2022, performance adjustments were $(907) and $(569) for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, in thousands, respectively. Performance adjustments were (0.05)% and (0.04)% for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, respectively. The performance adjustment rate included in the investment advisory fee may differ from the maximum over/under Annual Adjustment Rate due to differences in average net assets for the reporting period and rolling 36 month performance periods.
The Trust relies on an exemptive order granted to VCM and its affiliated funds by the SEC in March 2019, permitting the use of a "manager-of-managers" structure for certain funds. Under a manager-of-managers structure, the investment adviser may select (with approval of the Board and without shareholder approval) one or more subadvisers to manage the day-to-day investment of a fund's assets.
VCM entered into a Subadvisory Agreement with Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. ("Loomis Sayles") under which Loomis Sayles directs the investment and reinvestment of a portion of the Fund's assets (as allocated from time to time by VCM). This arrangement provides for monthly fees that are paid by VCM. VCM (not the Fund) pays the subadviser fees.
20
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
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 Institutional Shares, respectively. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 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 July 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 July 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 July 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 July 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 November 30, 2023. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of the Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense 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,
21
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
brokerage commissions, other expenditures, which are capitalized in accordance with GAAP, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund's business are excluded from the expense limits. As of July 31, 2022, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 0.92% and 0.88% for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, respectively.
Under the terms of the expense limitation agreement, as amended June 29, 2022, 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. As of July 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 July 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.
6. Risks:
The Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
Market Risk — Overall market risks may affect the value of the Fund. Domestic and international factors such as political events, war, 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.
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.
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 27, 2022, with a termination date of June 26, 2023. 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.
22
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
The purpose of the Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended July 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 paid a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest on amounts borrowed. For the period from August 1, 2021, through June 27, 2022, interest was based on the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus one percent. Effective with the renewal, for the period June 28, 2022, through July 31, 2022, interest was based on the one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 1.10 percent. Interest charged to the Fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Line of credit fees.
The average borrowing for the days outstanding and average interest rate for the Fund during the year ended July 31, 2022, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Amount Outstanding at July 31, 2022 | Average Borrowing* | Days Borrowing Outstanding | Average Interest Rate* | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | |||||||||||||||
$ | — | $ | 18,600 | 4 | 1.21 | % | $ | 18,600 |
* Based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding for the year ended July 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 July 31, 2022, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Borrower or Lender | Amount Outstanding at July 31, 2022 | Average Borrowing* | Days Borrowing Outstanding | Average Interest Rate* | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | ||||||||||||||||||

* Based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding for the year ended July 31, 2022.
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
23
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
As of July 31, 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 | ||||||
$ | (597 | ) | $ | 597 |
The tax character of distributions paid during the tax years ended, as noted below, were as follows (total distributions paid may differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because, for tax purposes, dividends are recognized when actually paid) (amounts in thousands):

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

$ | 105,407 | $ | 105,407 | $ | (6,087 | ) | $ | 877,023 | $ | 976,343 |
* Qualified late-year losses are comprised of certain late-year ordinary losses. Late-year ordinary losses represent ordinary losses incurred after December 31 and specified losses incurred after October 31. These losses are deemed to arise on the first day of the Fund's next taxable year.
** The difference between the book-basis and tax-basis of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and REITs/return of capital.
As of July 31, 2022, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.
As of July 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):

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA Growth Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA Growth Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of July 31, 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 July 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 July 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 and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from February 1, 2022, through July 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.

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.

(Unaudited)
Dear Shareholder,
It certainly has been an interesting — make that challenging — year for investors. If anything, our most recent annual reporting period ended July 31, 2022 reminded us of two enduring realities: 1) financial markets are dynamic and apt to change abruptly; 2) it's vitally important that we remain calm and rational whenever faced with those inevitable bouts of turmoil.
Consider what the past year has dealt us. The latter half of 2021 was largely constructive for financial markets, with record corporate earnings, ample liquidity in markets, and investors largely embracing risk assets. But as the calendar year turned, the script flipped. Almost overnight investor sentiment turned negative. There were many culprits. Inflation data was running persistently hotter than expected, with some of the highest readings in decades. Even the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") stopped calling inflation "transitory" and pivoted to a restrictive monetary policy. The Fed is now singularly focused on inflation and has embarked on a new aggressive rate-hike cycle. On top of all that, a terrible war began (and continues) in Eastern Europe, which fueled rising energy prices and slowed global growth.
These issues, among other factors, have ratcheted up market volatility in both stock and bond markets. Many broad market stock indices pulled back substantially during the first half of 2022 and even entered "bear market" territory in June, which is typically considered a 20% pullback from the most recent highs. Meanwhile, fixed income investors were also dealing with elevated volatility, and wide swaths of the bond market struggled in the face of rising interest rates. For a short while, bonds were not acting as their traditional counterbalance to equities, and that further troubled investors.
Just as quickly the script flipped again as our annual reporting period was drawing to a close. Risk was back on and investors seemingly went bargain hunting in July. Most equity indexes bounced back smartly — not fully recovering losses since the beginning of the calendar year but still making sharp moves higher.
Throughout the ups and downs of the past annual reporting period, there have been interesting subplots playing out within the broader market as different investment styles and sectors took turns in leadership positions. For example, it was interesting to watch crypto assets captivate investors through the earlier part of our annual reporting period, only to see them fall out of favor as sentiment soured. Ironically, those "less-exciting" assets, such as utilities and even money market funds, have been among the better performing throughout 2022. Indeed, things really can change markedly, and if anything, this underscores the importance of diversification.
Looking at the numbers we see that the S&P 500® Index, the bell-weather proxy for our domestic stock market, had an annual total return of -4.64% for the 12-month period ended July 31, 2022. Over this same annual period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 143 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point), thanks largely to the Fed's policy shift and several aggressive rate hikes. At the end of our reporting period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury finished at 2.67%.
Given the volatile market environment of the past year, it's comforting that we can draw on our experience managing portfolios through all market environments. This
2
has taught us to remain calm in the face of turmoil. It's imperative that investors do the same, as opposed to chasing short-term trends and acting emotionally. It is our view that a long-term plan, 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.
As ever, there will be challenges ahead. The Fed has declared its intent to continue raising rates even as some elevated inflation readings begin to decline. Labor shortages, ongoing supply chain issues, elevated energy prices, and the Russia-Ukraine war are among the headwinds investors continue to navigate. There's even been some chatter about a possible recession in 2023.
Although no one can definitively predict what markets will do in the future, we can assure you that the investment professionals at all our independent franchises continually monitor the 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 Fund, brought to you by Victory Capital. If you have any questions regarding the current market dynamics or your specific portfolio or investment plan, we encourage you to contact our representatives. Call (800) 235-8396 or visit our website at www.vcm.com.
From all of us here at Victory Capital, thank you for letting us help you work toward your investment goals.

Managers' Commentary
(Unaudited)
• What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
Financial markets produced broadly flat returns during the early part of the annual reporting period ended July 31, 2022. Conditions were initially supportive in 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 U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") indicated 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.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine in February of 2022 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 U.S. 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 remained focused on the Fed and whether it can engineer a soft landing amidst the highest inflation readings in 40 years.
The second quarter of 2022 saw continued pressure on stocks and bonds. The Fed's hawkish pivot, which started in the fourth quarter of 2021, continued to put pressure on equity valuation multiples, especially for long-duration growth stocks. With inflation readings hitting four-decade highs, the Fed now faced an increasingly difficult task of implementing policy strong enough to tame inflation and provide a "soft landing" for the economy, while not being too aggressive and tilting the economy into recession. This risk contributed to the heightened stock market volatility, in addition to mounting COVID-related lockdowns in China, rising oil prices, and the ongoing conflict between Russia and the Ukraine.

USAA Growth & Income Fund
Managers' Commentary (continued)
In May the Fed raised rates by 50 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point) and by an additional 75 basis points in both June and July to combat inflation. Stocks and bonds began to rally in mid-June and continued to move higher through the end of the reporting period in July. Factors contributing to the rally included declining oil prices, economic data that was generally supportive of the underlying strength of the economy, and second quarter earnings season that was better than feared. The yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury Note declined almost 100 basis points over this period, inverting the yield curve, and reflecting a near-term shift in sentiment that the Fed might not need to be quite as aggressive as initially feared.
• How did the USAA Growth & Income Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?
The Fund has three share classes: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A. For the reporting period ended July 31, 2022, the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A had total returns of -7.41%, -6.77%, and -7.38%, respectively. This compares to returns of -7.35% for the Russell 3000® Index (the "Index") and -8.02% for the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index.
• What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?
For the reporting period, the Fund underperformed the Index as sector allocations were the main detractor from performance while stock selection had a positive effect. In terms of allocation, an underweight position in energy and communication services hurt performance, while an overweight to health care helped. Stock selection within information technology and industrials detracted from performance while stock selection in consumer discretionary and health care were positive contributors.

Details of the current contractual expense limitation in effect can be found in Note 4 of the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.
(d) Does not include acquired fund fees and expenses, if any.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements July 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 Growth & Income Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers three classes of shares: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares and Class A. The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.
Each class of shares of the Fund has substantially identical rights and privileges, except with respect to sales charges, fees paid under distribution plans, expenses allocable exclusively to each class of shares, voting rights on matters solely affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange privilege of each class of shares.
Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with 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 July 31, 2022 |
Portfolio securities listed or traded on securities exchanges, including Exchange-Traded Funds ("ETFs") are valued at the closing price on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, if available, or at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price. If there have been no sales for that day on the exchange or system, then a security is valued at the last available bid quotation on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
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 July 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 | $ | 1,667,595 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 1,667,595 | |||||||||||
Collateral for Securities Loaned | 11,752 | — | — | 11,752 | |||||||||||||||
Total | $ | 1,679,347 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 1,679,347 |
For the year ended July 31, 2022, there were no transfers into/out of Level 3.
Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"):
The Fund may invest in REITs, which report information on the source of their distributions annually. REITs are pooled investment vehicles that invest primarily in income producing real estate or real estate related loans or interests (such as mortgages). Certain distributions received from REITs during the year are recorded as realized gains or return of capital as estimated by the Fund or when such information becomes known.
Investment Companies:
Open-End Funds:
The Fund may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the board of directors of the underlying funds.
Investment Transactions and Related Income:
Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date 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 by the Fund have been provided for in accordance with each investment's applicable country's tax rules and rates.
21
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
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 July 31, 2022.
Value of Securities on Loan | Non-Cash Collateral | Cash Collateral | |||||||||
$ | 11,568 | $ | — | $ | 11,752 |
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 July 31.
For the year ended July 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.
22
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
Income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses such as transfer agent fees, state registration fees, printing fees, and 12b-1 fees), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets on the date income is earned or expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred.
3. Purchases and Sales:
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) for the year ended July 31, 2022, were as follows for the Fund (amounts in thousands):
Excluding | |||||||
Purchases | Sales | ||||||
$ | 1,340,782 | $ | 1,667,173 |
4. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties:
Investment Advisory Fees:
Investment advisory services are provided to the Fund by the Adviser, which is a New York corporation registered as an investment adviser with the SEC. The Adviser is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Victory Capital Holdings, Inc., a publicly traded Delaware corporation, and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Victory Capital Operating, LLC.
Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive a base fee and a performance adjustment. The Fund's base fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.60% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the year ended July 31, 2022, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Investment advisory fees.
The performance adjustment for each share class is accrued daily and calculated monthly by comparing the respective class' performance to that of the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index. The Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index tracks the total return performance of the largest funds within the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds category.
The performance period for each share class consists of the current month plus the previous 35 months. 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.
Under the performance fee arrangement, each class pays a positive performance fee adjustment for a performance period whenever the class outperforms the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
For the period August 1, 2021, to July 31, 2022, performance adjustments were $(730), $(70) and $(3) for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares and Class A, in thousands, respectively. Performance adjustments were (0.04)%, (0.12)% and (0.37)% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares and Class A,
23
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
respectively. The performance adjustment rate included in the investment advisory fee may differ from the maximum over/under Annual Adjustment Rate due to differences in average net assets for the reporting period and rolling 36 month performance periods.
The Trust relies on an exemptive order granted to VCM and its affiliated funds by the SEC in March 2019, permitting the use of a "manager-of-managers" structure for certain funds. Under a manager-of-managers structure, the investment adviser may select (with approval of the Board and without shareholder approval) one or more subadvisers to manage the day-to-day investment of a fund's assets. For the year ended July 31, 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 July 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 July 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 July 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 Institutional Shares and Class A are paid monthly based on a fee accrued daily at an annualized rate of 0.10% and 0.10%, respectively, of average daily net assets, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the year ended July 31, 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.
24
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
Amounts incurred and paid to the Distributor for the year ended July 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 July 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 July 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 November 30, 2023. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of the Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense 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 July 31, 2022, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 0.88%, 0.84%, and 1.15% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A, respectively.
Under the terms of the expense limitation agreement, as amended June 29, 2022, 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.
As of July 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 July 31, 2022.
Expires 2024 | Expires 2025 | Total | |||||||||
$ | 29 | $ | 31 | $ | 60 |
The Adviser may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Fund in maintaining competitive expense ratios. Voluntary waivers and reimbursements applicable to the Fund are not available to be recouped at a future time. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the year ended July 31, 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 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.
25
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
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 27, 2022, with a termination date of June 26, 2023. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex may borrow up to $600 million, of which $300 million is committed and $300 million is uncommitted. $40 million of the Line of Credit is reserved for use by the Victory Floating Rate Fund, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with Victory Floating Rate Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended July 31, 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 paid a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest on amounts borrowed. For the period from August 1, 2021, through June 27, 2022, interest was based on the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus one percent. Effective with the renewal, for the period June 28, 2022, through July 31, 2022, interest was based on the one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 1.10 percent. 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 July 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 July 31, 2022, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Borrower or Lender | Amount Outstanding at July 31, 2022 | Average Borrowing* | Days Borrowing Outstanding | Average Interest Rate* | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | ||||||||||||||||||

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
7. Federal Income Tax Information:
The Fund intends to distribute any net investment income quarterly. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively, distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
As of July 31, 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 | ||||||
$ | (11,960 | ) | $ | 11,960 |
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 Growth & Income Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA Growth & Income Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of July 31, 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 July 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 July 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 February 1, 2022, through July 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 2/1/22 | Actual Ending Account Value 7/31/22 | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 7/31/22 | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 2/1/22- 7/31/22* | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 2/1/22- 7/31/22* | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 2/1/22- 7/31/22 | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Class A | 1,000.00 | 925.50 | 1,020.78 | 3.87 | 4.06 | 0.81 | % |
* Expenses are equal to the average account value multiplied by the Fund's annualized expense ratio multiplied by 181/365 (the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year).
** The expense ratio for the six-month period could potentially change due to performance fee adjustments.

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.

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

Dear Shareholder,
It certainly has been an interesting — make that challenging — year for investors. If anything, our most recent annual reporting period ended July 31, 2022 reminded us of two enduring realities: 1) financial markets are dynamic and apt to change abruptly; 2) it's vitally important that we remain calm and rational whenever faced with those inevitable bouts of turmoil.
Consider what the past year has dealt us. The latter half of 2021 was largely constructive for financial markets, with record corporate earnings, ample liquidity in markets, and investors largely embracing risk assets. But as the calendar year turned, the script flipped. Almost overnight investor sentiment turned negative. There were many culprits. Inflation data was running persistently hotter than expected, with some of the highest readings in decades. Even the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") stopped calling inflation "transitory" and pivoted to a restrictive monetary policy. The Fed is now singularly focused on inflation and has embarked on a new aggressive rate-hike cycle. On top of all that, a terrible war began (and continues) in Eastern Europe, which fueled rising energy prices and slowed global growth.
These issues, among other factors, have ratcheted up market volatility in both stock and bond markets. Many broad market stock indices pulled back substantially during the first half of 2022 and even entered "bear market" territory in June, which is typically considered a 20% pullback from the most recent highs. Meanwhile, fixed income investors were also dealing with elevated volatility, and wide swaths of the bond market struggled in the face of rising interest rates. For a short while, bonds were not acting as their traditional counterbalance to equities, and that further troubled investors.
Just as quickly the script flipped again as our annual reporting period was drawing to a close. Risk was back on and investors seemingly went bargain hunting in July. Most equity indexes bounced back smartly — not fully recovering losses since the beginning of the calendar year but still making sharp moves higher.
Throughout the ups and downs of the past annual reporting period, there have been interesting subplots playing out within the broader market as different investment styles and sectors took turns in leadership positions. For example, it was interesting to watch crypto assets captivate investors through the earlier part of our annual reporting period, only to see them fall out of favor as sentiment soured. Ironically, those "less-exciting" assets, such as utilities and even money market funds, have been among the better performing throughout 2022. Indeed, things really can change markedly, and if anything, this underscores the importance of diversification.
Looking at the numbers we see that the S&P 500® Index, the bell-weather proxy for our domestic stock market, had an annual total return of -4.64% for the 12-month period ended July 31, 2022. Over this same annual period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 143 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point), thanks largely to the Fed's policy shift and several aggressive rate hikes. At the end of our reporting period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury finished at 2.67%.
2
Given the volatile market environment of the past year, it's comforting that we can draw on our experience managing portfolios through all market environments. This has taught us to remain calm in the face of turmoil. It's imperative that investors do the same, as opposed to chasing short-term trends and acting emotionally. It is our view that a long-term plan, 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.
As ever, there will be challenges ahead. The Fed has declared its intent to continue raising rates even as some elevated inflation readings begin to decline. Labor shortages, ongoing supply chain issues, elevated energy prices, and the Russia-Ukraine war are among the headwinds investors continue to navigate. There's even been some chatter about a possible recession in 2023.
Although no one can definitively predict what markets will do in the future, we can assure you that the investment professionals at all our independent franchises continually monitor the environment and work hard to position portfolios opportunistically no matter what the markets bring.

Managers' Commentary

• What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
Financial markets produced broadly flat returns during the early part of the annual reporting period ended July 31, 2022. Conditions were initially supportive in 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 U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") indicated 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.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine in February of 2022 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 U.S. 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 remained focused on the Fed and whether it can engineer a soft landing amidst the highest inflation readings in 40 years.
The second quarter of 2022 saw continued pressure on stocks and bonds. The Fed's hawkish pivot, which started in the fourth quarter of 2021, continued to put pressure on equity valuation multiples, especially for long-duration growth stocks. With inflation readings hitting four-decade highs, the Fed now faced an increasingly difficult task of implementing policy strong enough to tame inflation and provide a "soft landing" for the economy, while not being too aggressive and tilting the economy into recession. This risk contributed to the heightened stock market volatility, in addition to mounting COVID-related lockdowns in China, rising oil prices, and the ongoing conflict between Russia and the Ukraine.

Managers' Commentary (continued)
In May the Fed raised rates by 50 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point) and by an additional 75 basis points in both June and July to combat inflation. Stocks and bonds began to rally in mid-June and continued to move higher through the end of the reporting period in July. Factors contributing to the rally included declining oil prices, economic data that was generally supportive of the underlying strength of the economy, and second quarter earnings season that was better than feared. The yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury Note declined almost 100 basis points over this period, inverting the yield curve, and reflecting a near-term shift in sentiment that the Fed might not need to be quite as aggressive as initially feared.
• How did the USAA Income Stock Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?
The Fund has two share classes: Fund Shares and Institutional Shares. For the reporting period ended July 31, 2022, the Fund Shares and Institutional Shares had a total return of 2.75% and 2.77%, respectively. This compares to returns of -1.43% for the Russell 1000® Value Index (the "Index") and 1.04% for the Lipper Equity Income Funds Index.
• What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?
For the reporting period, the Fund outperformed the Index as stock selection was the main contributor to performance while sector allocations had a negative effect. In terms of allocation, an underweight position in energy and overweight to information technology hurt performance, while an underweight to communication services helped. Stock selection within utilities detracted from performance while stock selection in health care and information technology were positive contributors.
Thank you for allowing us to assist you with your investment needs.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements July 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 Income Stock Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers two classes of shares: Fund Shares and Institutional Shares. Effective February 28, 2022, the R6 Shares were 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 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 July 31, 2022 |
Portfolio securities listed or traded on securities exchanges, including Exchange-Traded Funds ("ETFs"), are valued at the closing price on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, if available, or at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price. If there have been no sales for that day on the exchange or system, then a security is valued at the last available bid quotation on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
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 July 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 | $ | 2,614,869 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 2,614,869 | |||||||||||
Collateral for Securities Loaned | 23,286 | — | — | 23,286 | |||||||||||||||
Total | $ | 2,638,155 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 2,638,155 |
For the year ended July 31, 2022, there were no transfers into/out of Level 3.
Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"):
The Fund may invest in REITs, which report information on the source of their distributions annually. REITs are pooled investment vehicles that invest primarily in income producing real estate or real estate related loans or interests (such as mortgages). Certain distributions received from REITs during the year are recorded as realized gains or return of capital as estimated by the Fund or when such information becomes known.
Investment Companies:
Open-End Funds:
The Fund may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the board of directors of the underlying funds.
Investment Transactions and Related Income:
Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date 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 by the Fund have been provided for in accordance with each investment's applicable country's tax rules and rates.
21
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
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 July 31, 2022.
Value of Securities on Loan | Non-Cash Collateral | Cash Collateral | |||||||||
$ | 22,602 | $ | — | $ | 23,286 |
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 July 31.
For the year ended July 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.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
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 July 31, 2022, were as follows for the Fund (amounts in thousands):
Excluding | |||||||
Purchases | Sales | ||||||
$ | 1,390,912 | $ | 1,601,672 |
4. Affiliated Fund Ownership:
The Fund offers its shares for investment by other USAA Mutual Funds. The fund-of-funds do not invest in the underlying funds for the purpose of exercising management or control, and the affiliated fund-of-funds' annual and semi-annual reports may be viewed at www.vcm.com. As of July 31, 2022, certain fund-of-funds owned a percentage of total outstanding shares of the Fund as follows:
Affiliated USAA Mutual Funds | Ownership % | ||||||

USAA Cornerstone Equity Fund | 0.3 | ||||||
USAA Target Retirement Income Fund | 0.2 | ||||||
USAA Target Retirement 2030 Fund | 0.6 | ||||||
USAA Target Retirement 2040 Fund | 0.9 | ||||||
USAA Target Retirement 2050 Fund | 0.6 | ||||||
USAA Target Retirement 2060 Fund | 0.1 |
5. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties:
Investment Advisory Fees:
Investment advisory services are provided to the Fund by the Adviser, which is a New York corporation registered as an investment adviser with the SEC. The Adviser is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Victory Capital Holdings, Inc., a publicly traded Delaware corporation, and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Victory Capital Operating, LLC.
Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive a base fee and a performance adjustment. The Fund's base fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the year ended July 31, 2022, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Investment advisory fees.
The performance adjustment for each share class is accrued daily and calculated monthly by comparing the respective class' performance to that of the Lipper Equity Income Funds Index. The Lipper Equity Income Funds Index tracks the total return performance of the largest funds within the Lipper Equity Income Funds category.
23
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
The performance period for each share class consists of the current month plus the previous 35 months. 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.
Under the performance fee arrangement, each class pays a positive performance fee adjustment for a performance period whenever the class outperforms the Lipper Equity Income Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
For the period August 1, 2021, to July 31, 2022, performance adjustments were $(599) and $(386) for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares in thousands, respectively. Performance adjustments were less than (0.03)% and (0.04)% for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares respectively. For the period August 1, 2021 to February 28, 2022, performance adjustments were less than $1 thousand for R6 Shares. Performance adjustments were less than 0.01% for R6 Shares. The performance adjustment rate included in the investment advisory fee may differ from the maximum over/under Annual Adjustment Rate due to differences in average net assets for the reporting period and rolling 36 month performance periods.
The Trust relies on an exemptive order granted to VCM and its affiliated funds by the SEC in March 2019, permitting the use of a "manager-of-managers" structure for certain funds. Under a manager-of-managers structure, the investment adviser may select (with approval of the Board and without shareholder approval) one or more subadvisers to manage the day-to-day investment of a fund's assets. For the year ended July 31, 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 0.05%, which is based on the Fund's average daily net assets of the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and R6 Shares, respectively. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 31, 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 July 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
24
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 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 July 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 Institutional Shares and R6 Shares are paid monthly based on a fee accrued daily at an annualized rate of 0.10% and 0.01%, respectively, of average daily net assets, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the year ended July 31, 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 July 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 November 30, 2023. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of the Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense 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 July 31, 2022, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 0.76% and 0.72% for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, respectively.
Under the terms of the expense limitation agreement, as amended June 29, 2022, 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.
As of July 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 July 31, 2022.

available to be recouped at a future time. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the year ended July 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.
6. Risks:
The Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
Market Risk — Overall market risks may affect the value of the Fund. Domestic and international factors such as political events, war, 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.
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.
Financials Sectors Risk — The Fund's investments in companies within the financials sector means that market or economic factors impacting that sector could have a significant effect on the value of the Fund's investments and could make the Fund's performance more volatile. Financial companies, such as retail and commercial banks, insurance companies, and financial services companies, are especially subject to the adverse effects of economic recession, currency exchange rates, extensive government regulation, decreases in the availability of capital, volatile interest rates, portfolio concentrations in geographic markets, industries or products (such as commercial and residential real estate loans), and competition from new entrants in their fields of business.
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 27, 2022, with a termination date of June 26, 2023. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex may borrow up to $600 million, of which $300 million is committed and $300 million is uncommitted. $40 million of the Line of Credit is reserved for use by the Victory Floating Rate Fund, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with Victory Floating Rate Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended July 31, 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 paid a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest on amounts borrowed. For the period from August 1, 2021, through June 27, 2022, interest was based on the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus one percent. Effective with the renewal, for the period June 28, 2022, through July 31, 2022, interest was based on the one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 1.10 percent. Interest charged to the
26
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
Fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Line of credit fees.
The Fund had no borrowings under the Line of Credit agreement during the year ended July 31, 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 July 31, 2022, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Borrower or Lender | Amount Outstanding at July 31, 2022 | Average Borrowing* | Days Borrowing Outstanding | Average Interest Rate* | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | ||||||||||||||||||
Borrower | $ | — | $ | 3,326 | 8 | 0.93 | % | $ | 7,169 |
* Based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding for the year ended July 31, 2022.
8. Federal Income Tax Information:
The Fund intends to distribute any net investment income quarterly. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively, distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
As of July 31, 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 July 31, 2022, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.
As of July 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):

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA Income Stock Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA Income Stock Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of July 31, 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 July 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 July 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 February 1, 2022, through July 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.

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,
It certainly has been an interesting — make that challenging — year for investors. If anything, our most recent annual reporting period ended July 31, 2022 reminded us of two enduring realities: 1) financial markets are dynamic and apt to change abruptly; 2) it's vitally important that we remain calm and rational whenever faced with those inevitable bouts of turmoil.
Consider what the past year has dealt us. The latter half of 2021 was largely constructive for financial markets, with record corporate earnings, ample liquidity in markets, and investors largely embracing risk assets. But as the calendar year turned, the script flipped. Almost overnight investor sentiment turned negative. There were many culprits. Inflation data was running persistently hotter than expected, with some of the highest readings in decades. Even the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") stopped calling inflation "transitory" and pivoted to a restrictive monetary policy. The Fed is now singularly focused on inflation and has embarked on a new aggressive rate-hike cycle. On top of all that, a terrible war began (and continues) in Eastern Europe, which fueled rising energy prices and slowed global growth.
These issues, among other factors, have ratcheted up market volatility in both stock and bond markets. Many broad market stock indices pulled back substantially during the first half of 2022 and even entered "bear market" territory in June, which is typically considered a 20% pullback from the most recent highs. Meanwhile, fixed income investors were also dealing with elevated volatility, and wide swaths of the bond market struggled in the face of rising interest rates. For a short while, bonds were not acting as their traditional counterbalance to equities, and that further troubled investors.
Just as quickly the script flipped again as our annual reporting period was drawing to a close. Risk was back on and investors seemingly went bargain hunting in July. Most equity indexes bounced back smartly — not fully recovering losses since the beginning of the calendar year but still making sharp moves higher.
Throughout the ups and downs of the past annual reporting period, there have been interesting subplots playing out within the broader market as different investment styles and sectors took turns in leadership positions. For example, it was interesting to watch crypto assets captivate investors through the earlier part of our annual reporting period, only to see them fall out of favor as sentiment soured. Ironically, those "less-exciting" assets, such as utilities and even money market funds, have been among the better performing throughout 2022. Indeed, things really can change markedly, and if anything, this underscores the importance of diversification.
Looking at the numbers we see that the S&P 500® Index, the bell-weather proxy for our domestic stock market, had an annual total return of -4.64% for the 12-month period ended July 31, 2022. Over this same annual period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 143 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point), thanks largely to the Fed's policy shift and several aggressive rate hikes. At the end of our reporting period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury finished at 2.67%.
Given the volatile market environment of the past year, it's comforting that we can draw on our experience managing portfolios through all market environments. This
2
has taught us to remain calm in the face of turmoil. It's imperative that investors do the same, as opposed to chasing short-term trends and acting emotionally. It is our view that a long-term plan, 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.
As ever, there will be challenges ahead. The Fed has declared its intent to continue raising rates even as some elevated inflation readings begin to decline. Labor shortages, ongoing supply chain issues, elevated energy prices, and the Russia-Ukraine war are among the headwinds investors continue to navigate. There's even been some chatter about a possible recession in 2023.
Although no one can definitively predict what markets will do in the future, we can assure you that the investment professionals at all our independent franchises continually monitor the 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 Fund, brought to you by Victory Capital. If you have any questions regarding the current market dynamics or your specific portfolio or investment plan, we encourage you to contact our representatives. Call (800) 235-8396 or visit our website at www.vcm.com.
From all of us here at Victory Capital, thank you for letting us help you work toward your investment goals.

Managers' Commentary
(Unaudited)
• What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
Financial markets produced broadly flat returns during the early part of the annual reporting period ended July 31, 2022. Conditions were initially supportive in 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 U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") indicated 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.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine in February of 2022 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 U.S. 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 remained focused on the Fed and whether it can engineer a soft landing amidst the highest inflation readings in 40 years.
The second quarter of 2022 saw continued pressure on stocks and bonds. The Fed's hawkish pivot, which started in the fourth quarter of 2021, continued to put pressure on equity valuation multiples, especially for long-duration growth stocks. With inflation readings hitting four-decade highs, the Fed now faced an increasingly difficult task of implementing policy strong enough to tame inflation and provide a "soft landing" for the economy, while not being too aggressive and tilting the economy into recession. This risk contributed to the heightened stock market volatility, in addition to mounting COVID-related lockdowns in China, rising oil prices, and the ongoing conflict between Russia and the Ukraine.

USAA Science & Technology Fund
Managers' Commentary (continued)
In May the Fed raised rates by 50 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point) and by an additional 75 basis points in both June and July to combat inflation. Stocks and bonds began to rally in mid-June and continued to move higher through the end of the reporting period in July. Factors contributing to the rally included declining oil prices, economic data that was generally supportive of the underlying strength of the economy, and second quarter earnings season that was better than feared. The yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury Note declined almost 100 basis points over this period, inverting the yield curve, and reflecting a near-term shift in sentiment that the Fed might not need to be quite as aggressive as initially feared.
• How did the USAA Science & Technology Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?
The Fund has two share classes: Fund Shares and Class A. For the reporting period ended July 31, 2022, the Fund Shares and Class A had total returns of -37.07% and -37.28%, respectively. This compares to returns of -4.64% for the S&P 500® Index, -18.60% for the S&P North American Technology Index, 0.48% for the S&P Composite 1500 Health Care Index, and -23.42% for the Lipper Science & Technology Funds Index.
Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM") is the Fund's investment adviser. As the investment adviser, VCM employs dedicated resources to support the research, selection, and monitoring of the Fund's subadviser. Wellington Management Company LLP is an external subadviser to the Fund, while RS Investments Growth is a VCM investment franchise that each manage portions of the Fund. Primary responsibility for the day-to-day discretionary management of the Fund lies with the subadviser and the investment franchise.
• What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?
For the reporting period, the Fund underperformed the Index as stock selection was the main detractor from performance while sector allocations had a positive effect. In terms of allocation, an underweight position in information technology hurt performance, while an overweight to healthcare helped. Stock selection within health care and information technology detracted from performance while stock selection in financials was a positive contributor.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements July 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 Science & Technology Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers two classes of shares: Fund Shares and Class A. The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.
Each class of shares of the Fund has substantially identical rights and privileges, except with respect to sales charges, fees paid under distribution plans, expenses allocable exclusively to each class of shares, voting rights on matters solely affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange privilege of each class of shares.
Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with 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 July 31, 2022 |
Portfolio securities listed or traded on securities exchanges, including Exchange-Traded Funds ("ETFs"), American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), and Rights, are valued at the closing price on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, if available, or at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price. If there have been no sales for that day on the exchange or system, then a security is valued at the last available bid quotation on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in open-end investment companies, 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.
In accordance with procedures adopted by the Board, fair value pricing may be used if events materially affecting the value of foreign securities occur between the time the exchange on which they are traded closes and the time the Fund's NAV is calculated. The Fund uses a systematic valuation model, provided daily by an independent third party to fair value its international equity securities. The valuations are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
A summary of the valuations as of July 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 | ||||||||||||||||

Total | $ | 1,129,466 | $ | 18,109 | $ | — | $ | 1,147,575 |
(a) Zero market value security.
For the year ended July 31, 2022, there were no transfers into/out of Level 3.
Investment Companies:
Open-End Funds:
The Fund may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the board of directors of the underlying funds.
Foreign Exchange Currency Contracts:
The Fund may enter into foreign exchange currency contracts to convert U.S. dollars to and from various foreign currencies. A foreign exchange currency contract is an obligation by the Fund to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date at a price (in U.S. dollars) set at the time of the contract. The Fund does not engage in "cross-currency" foreign exchange contracts (i.e., contracts to purchase or sell one foreign currency in exchange for another foreign currency). The Fund's foreign exchange currency contracts might be considered spot contracts (typically a contract of one week or less) or forward contracts (typically a contract term over one week). A spot contract is entered into for
23
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
purposes of hedging against foreign currency fluctuations relating to a specific portfolio transaction, such as the delay between a security transaction trade date and settlement date. Forward contracts are entered into for purposes of hedging portfolio holdings or concentrations of such holdings. Each foreign exchange currency contract is adjusted daily by the prevailing spot or forward rate of the underlying currency, and any appreciation or depreciation is recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the contract settlement date, at which time the Fund records realized gains or losses equal to the difference between the value of a contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The Fund could be exposed to risk if a counterparty is unable to meet the terms of a foreign exchange currency contract or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. In addition, the use of foreign exchange currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. As of July 31, 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 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 July 31, 2022 |
The following table (amounts in thousands) is a summary of the Fund's securities lending transactions as of July 31, 2022.
Value of Securities on Loan | Non-Cash Collateral | Cash Collateral | |||||||||
$ | 34,087 | (a) | $ | — | $ | 35,456 |
(a) Includes $29 thousand of securities on loan that were sold prior to July 31, 2022.
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.
The Fund filed for additional European Union reclaims related to prior years. These reclaims are recorded when the amount is known and there are no significant uncertainties on collectability. For the year ended July 31, 2022, the Fund recognized $59 thousand in reclaims, of which $1 thousand of the amount is related to interest on the filed reclaims. These reclaims and interest are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Dividend Income and Interest Income, respectively.
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 July 31.
For the year ended July 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.
25
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
Cross-Trade Transactions:
Pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act, the Fund may engage in cross-trades, which are securities transactions with affiliated investment companies and advisory accounts managed by the Adviser and any applicable sub-adviser. Any such purchase or sale transaction must be effected without brokerage commission or other remuneration, except for customary transfer fees. The transaction must be effected at the current market price, which is either the security's last sale price on an exchange or, if there are no transactions in the security that day, at the average of the highest bid and lowest asked price. For the year ended July 31, 2022, the Fund engaged in the following securities transactions with affiliated funds, which resulted in the following net realized gains (losses) (amounts in thousands):

Excluding | |||||||
Purchases | Sales | ||||||
$ | 713,952 | $ | 866,382 |
4. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties:
Investment Advisory Fees:
Investment advisory services are provided to the Fund by the Adviser, which is a New York corporation registered as an investment adviser with the SEC. The Adviser is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Victory Capital Holdings, Inc., a publicly traded Delaware corporation, and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Victory Capital Operating, LLC.
Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive a base fee and a performance adjustment. The Fund's base fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.75% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the year ended July 31, 2022, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Investment advisory fees.
The performance adjustment for each share class is accrued daily and calculated monthly by comparing the respective class' performance to that of the Lipper Science & Technology Funds Index. The Lipper Science & Technology Funds Index tracks the total return performance of the largest funds within the Lipper Science & Technology Funds category.
The performance period for each share class consists of the current month plus the previous 35 months. 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
26
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
numerator of which is the number of days in the month and the denominator of which is 365 (366 in leap years). The resulting amount is then added to (in the case of overperformance), or subtracted from (in the case of underperformance) the base fee.
Under the performance fee arrangement, each class pays a positive performance fee adjustment for a performance period whenever the class outperforms the Lipper Science & Technology Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
For the period August 1, 2021, to July 31, 2022, performance adjustments were $(918) and $(56) for Fund Shares and Class A, in thousands, respectively. Performance adjustments were (0.06)% and (0.07)% for Fund Shares and Class A, respectively. The performance adjustment rate included in the investment advisory fee may differ from the maximum over/under Annual Adjustment Rate due to differences in average net assets for the reporting period and rolling 36 month performance periods.
The Trust relies on an exemptive order granted to VCM and its affiliated funds by the SEC in March 2019, permitting the use of a "manager-of-managers" structure for certain funds. Under a manager-of-managers structure, the investment adviser may select (with approval of the Board and without shareholder approval) one or more subadvisers to manage the day-to-day investment of a fund's assets.
VCM has entered into a Subadvisory Agreement with Wellington Management Company LLP ("Wellington Management"), under which Wellington directs the investment and reinvestment of a portion of the Fund's assets (as allocated from time to time by VCM). This arrangement provides for monthly fees that are paid by VCM. VCM (not the Fund) pays the subadviser fees.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM 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 0.15%, which is based on the Fund's average daily net assets of the Fund Shares and Class A, respectively. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 31, 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 July 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 July 31, 2022, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Compliance fees.
Transfer Agency Fees:

Other Fees:

K&L Gates LLP provides legal services to the Trust.
The Adviser has entered into an expense limitation agreement with the Fund until at least November 30, 2023. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of the Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense 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 July 31, 2022, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 1.06%, and 1.34% for Fund Shares and Class A, respectively.
Under the terms of the expense limitation agreement, as amended June 29, 2022, 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. As of July 31, 2022, there are no amounts to be repaid to the Adviser.
The Adviser may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Fund in maintaining competitive expense ratios. Voluntary waivers and reimbursements applicable to the Fund are not available to be recouped at a future time. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the year ended July 31, 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.
Sector Risk — A mutual fund portfolio consisting of investments related to the fields of science and technology is likely to be more volatile than a portfolio that is more widely diversified in other economic sectors. There is a possibility that the Fund's investments in companies whose values are highly dependent on scientific and technological developments may be more volatile because of the short life
28
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
cycles and competitive pressures of many of the products or services of these companies. Because of the competitiveness and rapid changes in the fields of science and technology, many of the companies in the Fund's portfolio are subject to distinctive risks. The products and services of these companies may not be economically successful or may quickly become outdated. Additionally, many of these companies must comply with significant governmental regulations and may need governmental approval of their products and services.
Market Risk — Overall market risks may affect the value of the Fund. Domestic and international factors such as political events, war, 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.
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.
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 27, 2022, with a termination date of June 26, 2023. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex may borrow up to $600 million, of which $300 million is committed and $300 million is uncommitted. $40 million of the Line of Credit is reserved for use by the Victory Floating Rate Fund, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with Victory Floating Rate Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended July 31, 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 paid a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest on amounts borrowed. For the period from August 1, 2021, through June 27, 2022, interest was based on the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus one percent. Effective with the renewal, for the period June 28, 2022, through July 31, 2022, interest was based on the one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 1.10 percent. 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 July 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 July 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 average borrowing or lending for the days outstanding and average interest rate for the Fund during the year ended July 31, 2022, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Borrower or Lender | Amount Outstanding at July 31, 2022 | Average Borrowing* | Days Borrowing Outstanding | Average Interest Rate* | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | ||||||||||||||||||

* Based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding for the year ended July 31, 2022.
7. Federal Income Tax Information:
The Fund intends to distribute any net investment income annually. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively, distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
As of July 31, 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 | ||||||
$ | 5,573 | $ | (5,573 | ) |
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):

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
As of July 31, 2022, the components of accumulated earnings (loss) on a tax basis were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Other Earnings (Loss) | Accumulated Earnings (Loss) | Qualified Late-Year Losses* | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)** | Total Accumulated Earnings (Loss) | |||||||||||||||
$ | (3 | ) | $ | (3 | ) | $ | (108,881 | ) | $ | 213,556 | $ | 104,672 |
* Qualified late-year losses are comprised of post-October capital losses incurred after October 31 and certain late-year ordinary losses. Late-year ordinary losses represent ordinary losses incurred after December 31 and specified losses incurred after October 31. These losses are deemed to arise on the first day of the Fund's next taxable year.
** The difference between the book-basis and tax-basis of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and passive foreign investment company adjustments.
As of July 31, 2022, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.
As of July 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):

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA Science & Technology Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA Science & Technology (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of July 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 July 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 July 31, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more Victory Capital investment companies since 1995.

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information
Proxy Voting:
Information regarding the policies and procedures the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling (800) 235-8396. The information is also included in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Information relating to how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent 12 months ended June 30 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments:
The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. Form N-PORT is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Expense Examples
As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from February 1, 2022, through July 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.

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.

(Unaudited)
Dear Shareholder,
It certainly has been an interesting — make that challenging — year for investors. If anything, our most recent annual reporting period ended July 31, 2022 reminded us of two enduring realities: 1) financial markets are dynamic and apt to change abruptly; 2) it's vitally important that we remain calm and rational whenever faced with those inevitable bouts of turmoil.
Consider what the past year has dealt us. The latter half of 2021 was largely constructive for financial markets, with record corporate earnings, ample liquidity in markets, and investors largely embracing risk assets. But as the calendar year turned, the script flipped. Almost overnight investor sentiment turned negative. There were many culprits. Inflation data was running persistently hotter than expected, with some of the highest readings in decades. Even the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") stopped calling inflation "transitory" and pivoted to a restrictive monetary policy. The Fed is now singularly focused on inflation and has embarked on a new aggressive rate-hike cycle. On top of all that, a terrible war began (and continues) in Eastern Europe, which fueled rising energy prices and slowed global growth.
These issues, among other factors, have ratcheted up market volatility in both stock and bond markets. Many broad market stock indices pulled back substantially during the first half of 2022 and even entered "bear market" territory in June, which is typically considered a 20% pullback from the most recent highs. Meanwhile, fixed income investors were also dealing with elevated volatility, and wide swaths of the bond market struggled in the face of rising interest rates. For a short while, bonds were not acting as their traditional counterbalance to equities, and that further troubled investors.
Just as quickly the script flipped again as our annual reporting period was drawing to a close. Risk was back on and investors seemingly went bargain hunting in July. Most equity indexes bounced back smartly — not fully recovering losses since the beginning of the calendar year but still making sharp moves higher.
Throughout the ups and downs of the past annual reporting period, there have been interesting subplots playing out within the broader market as different investment styles and sectors took turns in leadership positions. For example, it was interesting to watch crypto assets captivate investors through the earlier part of our annual reporting period, only to see them fall out of favor as sentiment soured. Ironically, those "less-exciting" assets, such as utilities and even money market funds, have been among the better performing throughout 2022. Indeed, things really can change markedly, and if anything, this underscores the importance of diversification.
Looking at the numbers we see that the S&P 500® Index, the bell-weather proxy for our domestic stock market, had an annual total return of -4.64% for the 12-month period ended July 31, 2022. Over this same annual period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 143 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point), thanks largely to the Fed's policy shift and several aggressive rate hikes. At the end of our reporting period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury finished at 2.67%.
2
Given the volatile market environment of the past year, it's comforting that we can draw on our experience managing portfolios through all market environments. This has taught us to remain calm in the face of turmoil. It's imperative that investors do the same, as opposed to chasing short-term trends and acting emotionally. It is our view that a long-term plan, 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.
As ever, there will be challenges ahead. The Fed has declared its intent to continue raising rates even as some elevated inflation readings begin to decline. Labor shortages, ongoing supply chain issues, elevated energy prices, and the Russia-Ukraine war are among the headwinds investors continue to navigate. There's even been some chatter about a possible recession in 2023.
Although no one can definitively predict what markets will do in the future, we can assure you that the investment professionals at all our independent franchises continually monitor the 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 Fund, brought to you by Victory Capital. If you have any questions regarding the current market dynamics or your specific portfolio or investment plan, we encourage you to contact our representatives. Call (800) 235-8396 or visit our website at www.vcm.com.
From all of us here at Victory Capital, thank you for letting us help you work toward your investment goals.

Managers' Commentary
(Unaudited)
• What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
Financial markets produced broadly flat returns during the early part of the annual reporting period ended July 31, 2022. Conditions were initially supportive in 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 U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") indicated 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.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine in February of 2022 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 U.S. 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 remained focused on the Fed and whether it can engineer a soft landing amidst the highest inflation readings in 40 years.
The second quarter of 2022 saw continued pressure on stocks and bonds. The Fed's hawkish pivot, which started in the fourth quarter of 2021, continued to put pressure on equity valuation multiples, especially for long-duration growth stocks. With inflation readings hitting four-decade highs, the Fed now faced an increasingly difficult task of implementing policy strong enough to tame inflation and provide a "soft landing" for the economy, while not being too aggressive and tilting the economy into recession. This risk contributed to the heightened stock market volatility, in addition to mounting COVID-related lockdowns in China, rising oil prices, and the ongoing conflict between Russia and the Ukraine.

USAA Small Cap Stock Fund
Managers' Commentary (continued)
In May the Fed raised rates by 50 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point) and by an additional 75 basis points in both June and July to combat inflation. Stocks and bonds began to rally in mid-June and continued to move higher through the end of the reporting period in July. Factors contributing to the rally included declining oil prices, economic data that was generally supportive of the underlying strength of the economy, and second quarter earnings season that was better than feared. The yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury Note declined almost 100 basis points over this period, inverting the yield curve, and reflecting a near-term shift in sentiment that the Fed might not need to be quite as aggressive as initially feared.
• How did the USAA Small Cap Stock Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?
The Fund has two share classes: Fund Shares and Institutional Shares. For the reporting period ended July 31, 2022, the Fund Shares and Institutional Shares had total returns of -13.71% and -13.60%, respectively. This compares to returns of -14.29% for the Russell 2000® Index (the "Index"), -6.24% for the S&P SmallCap 600® Index, and -6.56% for the Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Index.
Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM") is the Fund's investment adviser. As the investment adviser, VCM employs dedicated resources to support the research, selection, and monitoring of the Fund's subadviser. Granahan Investment Management, Inc., is an external subadviser to the Fund, while Munder Capital Management, RS Investments Value, and THB Asset Management are VCM investment franchises that each manage portions of the Fund. Primary responsibility for the day-to-day discretionary management of the Fund lies with the subadviser and the investment franchises.
• What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?
For the reporting period, the Fund outperformed the Index as stock selection was the main contributor to performance while sector allocations had a negative effect. In terms of allocation, an overweight position in information technology hurt performance, while an underweight to healthcare helped. Stock selection within industrials detracted from performance while stock selection in information technology was a positive contributor.
Thank you for allowing us to assist you with your investment needs.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements July 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 Small Cap Stock Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers two classes of shares: Fund Shares and Institutional Shares. The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.
Each class of shares of the Fund has substantially identical rights and privileges, except with respect to fees paid under distribution plans, expenses allocable exclusively to each class of shares, voting rights on matters solely affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange privilege of each class of shares.
Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with 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.
28
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
Portfolio securities listed or traded on securities exchanges, including Exchange-Traded Funds ("ETFs"), American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), and Rights, are valued at the closing price on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, if available, or at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price. If there have been no sales for that day on the exchange or system, then a security is valued at the last available bid quotation on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in open-end investment companies, 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 July 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 | $ | 965,827 | $ | — | $ | — | (a) | $ | 965,827 | ||||||||||

Total | $ | 993,078 | $ | — | $ | 1 | $ | 993,079 |
(a) Rounds to less than $1 thousand.
For the year ended July 31, 2022, there were no transfers into/out of Level 3.
Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"):
The Fund may invest in REITs, which report information on the source of their distributions annually. REITs are pooled investment vehicles that invest primarily in income producing real estate or real estate related loans or interests (such as mortgages). Certain distributions received from REITs during the year are recorded as realized gains or return of capital as estimated by the Fund or when such information becomes known.
Investment Companies:
Exchange-Traded Funds:
The Fund may invest in ETFs, the shares of which are bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and represents a fixed portfolio of securities often designed to track the performance and dividend yield of a particular domestic or foreign market index. The Fund may purchase shares of an ETF to temporarily gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market while awaiting purchase of underlying securities. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities 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.
29
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
Open-End Funds:
The Fund may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the board of directors of the underlying funds.
Foreign Exchange Currency Contracts:
The Fund may enter into foreign exchange currency contracts to convert U.S. dollars to and from various foreign currencies. A foreign exchange currency contract is an obligation by the Fund to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date at a price (in U.S. dollars) set at the time of the contract. The Fund does not engage in "cross-currency" foreign exchange contracts (i.e., contracts to purchase or sell one foreign currency in exchange for another foreign currency). The Fund's foreign exchange currency contracts might be considered spot contracts (typically a contract of one week or less) or forward contracts (typically a contract term over one week). A spot contract is entered into for purposes of hedging against foreign currency fluctuations relating to a specific portfolio transaction, such as the delay between a security transaction trade date and settlement date. Forward contracts are entered into for purposes of hedging portfolio holdings or concentrations of such holdings. Each foreign exchange currency contract is adjusted daily by the prevailing spot or forward rate of the underlying currency, and any appreciation or depreciation is recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the contract settlement date, at which time the Fund records realized gains or losses equal to the difference between the value of a contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The Fund could be exposed to risk if a counterparty is unable to meet the terms of a foreign exchange currency contract or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. In addition, the use of foreign exchange currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. As of July 31, 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 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
30
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
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 July 31, 2022.
Value of Securities on Loan | Non-Cash Collateral | Cash Collateral | |||||||||
$ | 25,494 | $ | — | $ | 26,453 |
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.
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 July 31.
For the year ended July 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.

5. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties:
Investment Advisory Fees:
Investment advisory services are provided to the Fund by the Adviser, which is a New York corporation registered as an investment adviser with the SEC. The Adviser is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Victory Capital Holdings, Inc., a publicly traded Delaware corporation, and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Victory Capital Operating, LLC.
Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive a base fee and a performance adjustment. The Fund's base fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.75% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the year ended July 31, 2022, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Investment advisory fees.
The performance adjustment for each share class is accrued daily and calculated monthly by comparing the respective class' performance to that of the Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Index. The Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Index tracks the total return performance of the largest funds within the Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds category.
The performance period for each share class consists of the current month plus the previous 35 months. The following table is utilized to determine the extent of the performance adjustment:
Over/Under Performance Relative to Index | Annual Adjustment Rate | ||||||

(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.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
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 Small-Cap Core Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
For the period August 1, 2021, to July 31, 2022, performance adjustments were $206 and $203 for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, in thousands, respectively. Performance adjustments were 0.03% and 0.05% for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, respectively. The performance adjustment rate included in the investment advisory fee may differ from the maximum over/under Annual Adjustment Rate due to differences in average net assets for the reporting period and rolling 36 month performance periods.
The Trust relies on an exemptive order granted to VCM and its affiliated funds by the SEC in March 2019, permitting the use of a "manager-of-managers" structure for certain funds. Under a manager-of-managers structure, the investment adviser may select (with approval of the Board and without shareholder approval) one or more subadvisers to manage the day-to-day investment of a fund's assets.
VCM entered into a Subadvisory Agreement with Granahan Investment Management, Inc. ("GIMI"), under which GIMI directs the investment and reinvestment of a portion of the Fund's assets (as allocated from time to time by VCM). This arrangement provides for monthly fees that are paid by VCM. VCM (not the Fund) pays the subadviser fees.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM 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 Institutional Shares, respectively. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 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 July 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 July 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 July 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 compensation for these services.
Other Fees:
Citibank serves as the Fund's custodian. The Fund pays Citibank a fee for providing these services. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 31, 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 November 30, 2023. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of the Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense 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 July 31, 2022, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 1.10% and 0.98% for Fund Shares and Institutional Shares, respectively.
Under the terms of the expense limitation agreement, as amended June 29, 2022, 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.
As of July 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 July 31, 2022.

The Adviser may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Fund in maintaining competitive expense ratios. Voluntary waivers and reimbursements applicable to the Fund are not available to be recouped at a future time. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the year ended July 31, 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.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
6. Risks:
The Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
Small-Capitalization Stock Risk — The Fund is subject to small-cap company risk, which is the greater risk of investing in smaller, less well-known companies, as opposed to investing in established companies with proven track records. Small-cap companies also may have limited product lines, markets, or financial resources. Securities of such companies may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of larger companies or the market in general and, therefore, may involve greater risk than investing in the securities of larger companies.
Market Risk — Overall market risks may affect the value of the Fund. Domestic and international factors such as political events, war, 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.
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.
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 27, 2022, with a termination date of June 26, 2023. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex may borrow up to $600 million, of which $300 million is committed and $300 million is uncommitted. $40 million of the Line of Credit is reserved for use by the Victory Floating Rate Fund, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with Victory Floating Rate Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended July 31, 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 paid a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest on amounts borrowed. For the period from August 1, 2021, through June 27, 2022, interest was based on the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus one percent. Effective with the renewal, for the period June 28, 2022, through July 31, 2022, interest was based on the one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 1.10 percent. Interest charged to the Fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Line of credit fees.
The average borrowing for the days outstanding and average interest rate for the Fund during the year ended July 31, 2022, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Amount Outstanding at July 31, 2022 | Average Borrowing* | Days Borrowing Outstanding | Average Interest Rate* | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | |||||||||||||||
$ | — | $ | 9,075 | 4 | 1.21 | % | $ | 11,700 |
* Based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding for the year ended July 31, 2022.
35
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 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 July 31, 2022, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Borrower or Lender | Amount Outstanding at July 31, 2022 | Average Borrowing* | Days Borrowing Outstanding | Average Interest Rate* | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | ||||||||||||||||||
Borrower | $ | — | $ | 4,538 | 4 | 0.57 | % | $ | 8,643 |
* Based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding for the year ended July 31, 2022.
8. Federal Income Tax Information:
The Fund intends to distribute any net investment income annually. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively, distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
As of July 31, 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 | ||||||
$ | (24,499 | ) | $ | 24,499 |

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
The tax character of distributions paid during the tax years ended, as noted below, were as follows (total distributions paid may differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because, for tax purposes, dividends are recognized when actually paid) (amounts in thousands):

As of July 31, 2022, the components of accumulated earnings (loss) on a tax basis were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains | Accumulated Earnings | Qualified Late-Year Losses* | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)** | Total Accumulated Earnings (Loss) | |||||||||||||||
$ | 53,271 | $ | 53,271 | $ | (7,496 | ) | $ | 38,238 | $ | 84,013 |
* Qualified late-year losses are comprised of post-October capital losses incurred after October 31 and certain late-year ordinary losses. These losses are deemed to arise on the first day of the Fund's next taxable year.
** The difference between the book-basis and tax-basis of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, passive foreign investment company adjustments, and REITs/return of capital.
As of July 31, 2022, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.
As of July 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):

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA Small Cap Stock Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA Small Cap Stock Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of July 31, 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 July 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 July 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 and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from February 1, 2022, through July 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.

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,
It certainly has been an interesting — make that challenging — year for investors. If anything, our most recent annual reporting period ended July 31, 2022 reminded us of two enduring realities: 1) financial markets are dynamic and apt to change abruptly; 2) it's vitally important that we remain calm and rational whenever faced with those inevitable bouts of turmoil.
Consider what the past year has dealt us. The latter half of 2021 was largely constructive for financial markets, with record corporate earnings, ample liquidity in markets, and investors largely embracing risk assets. But as the calendar year turned, the script flipped. Almost overnight investor sentiment turned negative. There were many culprits. Inflation data was running persistently hotter than expected, with some of the highest readings in decades. Even the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") stopped calling inflation "transitory" and pivoted to a restrictive monetary policy. The Fed is now singularly focused on inflation and has embarked on a new aggressive rate-hike cycle. On top of all that, a terrible war began (and continues) in Eastern Europe, which fueled rising energy prices and slowed global growth.
These issues, among other factors, have ratcheted up market volatility in both stock and bond markets. Many broad market stock indices pulled back substantially during the first half of 2022 and even entered "bear market" territory in June, which is typically considered a 20% pullback from the most recent highs. Meanwhile, fixed income investors were also dealing with elevated volatility, and wide swaths of the bond market struggled in the face of rising interest rates. For a short while, bonds were not acting as their traditional counterbalance to equities, and that further troubled investors.
Just as quickly the script flipped again as our annual reporting period was drawing to a close. Risk was back on and investors seemingly went bargain hunting in July. Most equity indexes bounced back smartly — not fully recovering losses since the beginning of the calendar year but still making sharp moves higher.
Throughout the ups and downs of the past annual reporting period, there have been interesting subplots playing out within the broader market as different investment styles and sectors took turns in leadership positions. For example, it was interesting to watch crypto assets captivate investors through the earlier part of our annual reporting period, only to see them fall out of favor as sentiment soured. Ironically, those "less-exciting" assets, such as utilities and even money market funds, have been among the better performing throughout 2022. Indeed, things really can change markedly, and if anything, this underscores the importance of diversification.
Looking at the numbers we see that the S&P 500® Index, the bell-weather proxy for our domestic stock market, had an annual total return of -4.64% for the 12-month period ended July 31, 2022. Over this same annual period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 143 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point), thanks largely to the Fed's policy shift and several aggressive rate hikes. At the end of our reporting period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury finished at 2.67%.
Given the volatile market environment of the past year, it's comforting that we can draw on our experience managing portfolios through all market environments. This
2
has taught us to remain calm in the face of turmoil. It's imperative that investors do the same, as opposed to chasing short-term trends and acting emotionally. It is our view that a long-term plan, 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.
As ever, there will be challenges ahead. The Fed has declared its intent to continue raising rates even as some elevated inflation readings begin to decline. Labor shortages, ongoing supply chain issues, elevated energy prices, and the Russia-Ukraine war are among the headwinds investors continue to navigate. There's even been some chatter about a possible recession in 2023.
Although no one can definitively predict what markets will do in the future, we can assure you that the investment professionals at all our independent franchises continually monitor the 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 Fund, brought to you by Victory Capital. If you have any questions regarding the current market dynamics or your specific portfolio or investment plan, we encourage you to contact our representatives. Call (800) 235-8396 or visit our website at www.vcm.com.
From all of us here at Victory Capital, thank you for letting us help you work toward your investment goals.

Managers' Commentary
(Unaudited)
• What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
Financial markets produced broadly flat returns during the early part of the annual reporting period ended July 31, 2022. Conditions were initially supportive in 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 U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") indicated 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.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine in February of 2022 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 U.S. 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 remained focused on the Fed and whether it can engineer a soft landing amidst the highest inflation readings in 40 years.
The second quarter of 2022 saw continued pressure on stocks and bonds. The Fed's hawkish pivot, which started in the fourth quarter of 2021, continued to put pressure on equity valuation multiples, especially for long-duration growth stocks. With inflation readings hitting four-decade highs, the Fed now faced an increasingly difficult task of implementing policy strong enough to tame inflation and provide a "soft landing" for the economy, while not being too aggressive and tilting the economy into recession. This risk contributed to the heightened stock market volatility, in addition to mounting COVID-related lockdowns in China, rising oil prices, and the ongoing conflict between Russia and the Ukraine.

USAA Value Fund
Managers' Commentary (continued)
In May the Fed raised rates by 50 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point) and by an additional 75 basis points in both June and July to combat inflation. Stocks and bonds began to rally in mid-June and continued to move higher through the end of the reporting period in July. Factors contributing to the rally included declining oil prices, economic data that was generally supportive of the underlying strength of the economy, and second quarter earnings season that was better than feared. The yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury Note declined almost 100 basis points over this period, inverting the yield curve, and reflecting a near-term shift in sentiment that the Fed might not need to be quite as aggressive as initially feared.
• How did the USAA Value Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?
The Fund has three share classes: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A. For the reporting period ended July 31, 2022, the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A had a total return of 1.23%, 1.28%, and 2.09%, respectively. This compares to returns of -1.43% for the Russell 1000® Value Index (the "Index"), -2.39% for the Lipper Large-Cap Value Funds Index, and -2.47% for the Lipper Multi-Cap Value Funds Index.
• What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?
For the reporting period, the Fund outperformed the Index as stock selection was the main contributor to performance, while sector allocations also had a positive effect. In terms of allocation, an underweight position in energy hurt performance, while an underweight to communication services helped. Stock selection within communication services detracted from performance while stock selection in financials was a positive contributor.
Thank you for allowing us to assist you with your investment needs.

(e) Portfolio turnover is calculated on the basis of the Fund as a whole without distinguishing between the classes of shares issued.
(f) Per share net investment income (loss) has been calculated using the average daily shares method.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements July 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 Value Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers three classes of shares: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A. The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.
Each class of shares of the Fund has substantially identical rights and privileges, except with respect to sales charges, fees paid under distribution plans, expenses allocable exclusively to each class of shares, voting rights on matters solely affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange privilege of each class of shares.
Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with 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 July 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 July 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 | $ | 1,104,994 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 1,104,994 | |||||||||||
Collateral for Securities Loaned | 4,219 | — | — | 4,219 | |||||||||||||||
Total | $ | 1,109,213 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 1,109,213 |
For the year ended July 31, 2022, there were no transfers into/out of Level 3.
Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"):
The Fund may invest in REITs, which report information on the source of their distributions annually. REITs are pooled investment vehicles that invest primarily in income producing real estate or real estate related loans or interests (such as mortgages). Certain distributions received from REITs during the year are recorded as realized gains or return of capital as estimated by the Fund or when such information becomes known.
Investment Companies:
Open-End Funds:
The Fund may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the board of directors of the underlying funds.
Investment Transactions and Related Income:
Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date 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 by the Fund have been provided for in accordance with each investment's applicable country's tax rules and rates.
21
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
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 July 31, 2022.
Value of Securities on Loan | Non-Cash Collateral | Cash Collateral | |||||||||
$ | 4,222 | $ | — | $ | 4,219 |
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 July 31.
For the year ended July 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.
22
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
Income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses such as transfer agent fees, state registration fees, printing fees, and 12b-1 fees), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets on the date income is earned or expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred.
3. Purchases and Sales:

Excluding | |||||||
Purchases | Sales | ||||||
$ | 791,290 | $ | 778,330 |
4. Affiliated Fund Ownership:

The fund-of-funds do not invest in the underlying funds for the purpose of exercising management or control, and the affiliated fund-of-funds' annual and semi-annual reports may be viewed at www.vcm.com. As of July 31, 2022, certain fund-of-funds owned total outstanding shares of the Fund as follows:
Affiliated USAA Mutual Funds | Ownership % | ||||||
USAA Cornerstone Conservative Fund | 0.2 | ||||||
USAA Cornerstone Equity Fund | 0.8 |
5. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties:
Investment Advisory Fees:
Investment advisory services are provided to the Fund by the Adviser, which is a New York corporation registered as an investment adviser with the SEC. The Adviser is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Victory Capital Holdings, Inc., a publicly traded Delaware corporation, and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Victory Capital Operating, LLC.
Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive a base fee and a performance adjustment. The Fund's base fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.65% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the year ended July 31, 2022, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Investment advisory fees.
The performance adjustment for each share class is accrued daily and calculated monthly by comparing the respective class' performance to that of the Lipper Multi-Cap Value Funds Index. The Lipper Multi-Cap Value Funds Index tracks the total return performance of the largest funds within the Lipper Multi-Cap Value Funds category.
The performance period for each share class consists of the current month plus the previous 35 months. 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.
23
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
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 Multi-Cap Value Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
For the period August 1, 2021, to July 31, 2022, performance adjustments were $(271), $(76), and $(1) for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A, in thousands, respectively. Performance adjustments were (0.03)%, (0.02)%, and (1.24)% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A, respectively. The performance adjustment rate included in the investment advisory fee may differ from the maximum over/under Annual Adjustment Rate due to differences in average net assets for the reporting period and rolling 36 month performance periods.
The Trust relies on an exemptive order granted to VCM and its affiliated funds by the SEC in March 2019, permitting the use of a "manager-of-managers" structure for certain funds. Under a manager-of-managers structure, the investment adviser may select (with approval of the Board and without shareholder approval) one or more subadvisers to manage the day-to-day investment of a fund's assets. For the year ended July 31, 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 July 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 July 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 July 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 Institutional Shares and Class A are paid monthly based on a fee accrued daily at an annualized rate of 0.10% and 0.10%, respectively, of average daily net assets, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the year ended July 31, 2022, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
FIS Investor Services LLC serves as sub-transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agent Agreement between VCTA and FIS Investor Services LLC. VCTA provides FIS Investor Services LLC a fee for providing these services.
Distributor/Underwriting Services:
Victory Capital Services, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as Distributor for the continuous offering of the shares of the Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement between the Distributor and the Trust.
Pursuant to the Distribution and Service Plans adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Distributor may receive a monthly distribution and service fee, at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A. The distribution and service fees paid to the Distributor may be used by the Distributor to pay for activity primarily intended to result in the sale of Class A. Amounts incurred and paid to the Distributor for the year ended July 31, 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 July 31, 2022, the Distributor received less than $1 thousand from commissions earned in connection with sales of Class A.
Other Fees:

K&L Gates LLP provides legal services to the Trust.
The Adviser has entered into an expense limitation agreement with the Fund until at least November 30, 2023. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of the Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. 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 July 31, 2021, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 0.96%, 0.88%, and 1.27% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A, respectively.
Under the terms of the expense limitation agreement, as amended June 29, 2022, 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 limit in effect at the time of: (a) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (b) the recoupment, after giving effect to the recoupment amount.
As of July 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 July 31, 2022.
Expires 2023 | Expires 2024 | Expires 2025 | Total | ||||||||||||

25
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
6. Risks:
The Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
Investment Style Risk — The Fund uses a value-oriented investment strategy to select investments. The strategy may be out of favor or may not produce the intended results over short or longer time periods. The strategy may, at times, substantially underperform funds that utilize other investment strategies, such as growth.
Market Risk — Overall market risks may affect the value of the Fund. Domestic and international factors such as political events, war, 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.
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.
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 27, 2022, with a termination date of June 26, 2023. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex may borrow up to $600 million, of which $300 million is committed and $300 million is uncommitted. $40 million of the Line of Credit is reserved for use by the Victory Floating Rate Fund, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with Victory Floating Rate Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended July 31, 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 paid a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest on amounts borrowed. For the period from August 1, 2021, through June 27, 2022, interest was based on the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus one percent. Effective with the renewal, for the period June 28, 2022, through July 31, 2022, interest was based on the one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 1.10 percent. 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 July 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
26

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 July 31, 2022, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

8. Federal Income Tax Information:
The Fund intends to distribute any net investment income annually. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively, distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
As of July 31, 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):

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA Value Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA Value Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of July 31, 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 July 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 July 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 February 1, 2022, through July 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.

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.

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

Dear Shareholder,
It certainly has been an interesting — make that challenging — year for investors. If anything, our most recent annual reporting period ended July 31, 2022 reminded us of two enduring realities: 1) financial markets are dynamic and apt to change abruptly; 2) it's vitally important that we remain calm and rational whenever faced with those inevitable bouts of turmoil.
Consider what the past year has dealt us. The latter half of 2021 was largely constructive for financial markets, with record corporate earnings, ample liquidity in markets, and investors largely embracing risk assets. But as the calendar year turned, the script flipped. Almost overnight investor sentiment turned negative. There were many culprits. Inflation data was running persistently hotter than expected, with some of the highest readings in decades. Even the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") stopped calling inflation "transitory" and pivoted to a restrictive monetary policy. The Fed is now singularly focused on inflation and has embarked on a new aggressive rate-hike cycle. On top of all that, a terrible war began (and continues) in Eastern Europe, which fueled rising energy prices and slowed global growth.
These issues, among other factors, have ratcheted up market volatility in both stock and bond markets. Many broad market stock indices pulled back substantially during the first half of 2022 and even entered "bear market" territory in June, which is typically considered a 20% pullback from the most recent highs. Meanwhile, fixed income investors were also dealing with elevated volatility, and wide swaths of the bond market struggled in the face of rising interest rates. For a short while, bonds were not acting as their traditional counterbalance to equities, and that further troubled investors.
Just as quickly the script flipped again as our annual reporting period was drawing to a close. Risk was back on and investors seemingly went bargain hunting in July. Most equity indexes bounced back smartly — not fully recovering losses since the beginning of the calendar year but still making sharp moves higher.
Throughout the ups and downs of the past annual reporting period, there have been interesting subplots playing out within the broader market as different investment styles and sectors took turns in leadership positions. For example, it was interesting to watch crypto assets captivate investors through the earlier part of our annual reporting period, only to see them fall out of favor as sentiment soured. Ironically, those "less-exciting" assets, such as utilities and even money market funds, have been among the better performing throughout 2022. Indeed, things really can change markedly, and if anything, this underscores the importance of diversification.
Looking at the numbers we see that the S&P 500® Index, the bell-weather proxy for our domestic stock market, had an annual total return of -4.64% for the 12-month period ended July 31, 2022. Over this same annual period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 143 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point), thanks largely to the Fed's policy shift and several aggressive rate hikes. At the end of our reporting period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury finished at 2.67%.

Given the volatile market environment of the past year, it's comforting that we can draw on our experience managing portfolios through all market environments. This has taught us to remain calm in the face of turmoil. It's imperative that investors do the same, as opposed to chasing short-term trends and acting emotionally. It is our view that a long-term plan, 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.
As ever, there will be challenges ahead. The Fed has declared its intent to continue raising rates even as some elevated inflation readings begin to decline. Labor shortages, ongoing supply chain issues, elevated energy prices, and the Russia-Ukraine war are among the headwinds investors continue to navigate. There's even been some chatter about a possible recession in 2023.
Although no one can definitively predict what markets will do in the future, we can assure you that the investment professionals at all our independent franchises continually monitor the environment and work hard to position portfolios opportunistically no matter what the markets bring.

• What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
As the world attempted to return to normal, coming out of the historic, COVID-19 government imposed lockdowns, the consequences of those lockdowns began to manifest themselves during the reporting period ended July 31, 2022. In particular, global supply chains that functioned smoothly pre-COVID were disrupted in ways that have yet to work themselves out. Generally speaking, the result was demand that rebounded faster than supply could keep up. To make matters worse, apart from the human tragedy itself, Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 added to the supply chain issues, with impacts on the price of oil, natural gas, wheat and fertilizer, to name but a few. While the general price level fell during COVID, when demand fell faster than supply, the reverse is now true. As measured by the Consumer Price Index ("CPI"), the price level fell from 2.3% in 2019 to 1.4% in 2020, but skyrocketed to 7% in 2021. During 2022, the price level has risen even further, to 8.5% as of July 31, 2022.
These events have taken their toll on the financial markets, with the S&P 500® Index down 4.64% year over year, and 12.58% year to date. The bond market did not escape the pain, either. Indeed, the past year has been one of the worst for fixed income markets for the last 50 years, if not all history. The one-year total return for the period ending July 31, 2022 for the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index was -9.12% year over year, and -8.16% year to date, worse than the S&P 500 Index year over year. These numbers are even worse than during the dollar devaluation period in the late 1970s/early 1980s.
These results were driven primarily by the significant rise in interest rates, as the bond market reacted to the dramatic increases in the price level. While the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") initially believed these price increases to be transitory, the bond market forced them to quickly abandon that thought. What was originally expected to be a gradual 25 basis points ("bps") increase in the federal funds rate morphed into rate hikes that haven't been seen since 1994. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) The Fed started hiking rates by 25 bps in March, then was forced to make additional hikes of 50 bps in May and a whopping 75 bps in June and July. Looking ahead, the bond market appears to expect another 81 bps of rate hikes by December 2022, when the federal funds rate is expected to top out at about 3.31%.
In addition to the jump in Treasury rates, bond spreads have widened out as well. Year over year, the Bloomberg Corporate Index option-adjusted spread rose from 0.85% to 1.42%, a 57 bps increase. This double whammy took its toll on the fixed income market, leaving the Bloomberg Corporate Index with a one-year negative total return of -12.61%.
The recent rise in interest rates is already beginning to dampen demand, particularly for housing, as well as automobiles. Higher gasoline and food prices are also taking their toll, forcing consumers to curtail other purchases. Although the employment situation looks decent with the unemployment rate at 3.5%, that's typically a lagging indicator, and the COVID-19 lockdowns caused havoc in the labor markets, as many businesses still cannot fill all the positions they need. As a result, the U.S. has now experienced the market-accepted definition of recession (two consecutive quarters of negative real Gross Domestic Product ("GDP")). Real GDP (which subtracts CPI from nominal GDP) decreased -1.6% in the first quarter of 2022, and -0.9% in the second quarter of 2022. Economic

activity is likely to continue to slow in the near term as the economy re-adjusts from the COVID-19 pandemic.
• How did the USAA Income Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?
The Fund has four share classes: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, and R6 Shares. For the reporting period ended July 31, 2022, the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, and R6 Shares had total returns of -10.41%, -10.37%, -10.65%, and -10.28%, respectively. This compares to returns of -9.12% for the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the "Index") and -12.07% for the Lipper A Rated Bond Funds Index.
• What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?
The Fund produced a negative total return through the reporting period ended July 1, 2022, and underperformed the Index which also had negative returns during the reporting period. The negative total returns for both the Fund and the Index were primarily driven by increases in interest rates during the second half of the reporting period. The Fund's higher allocation to BBB-rated corporate credit relative to the Index, was a primary driver of underperformance. Offsetting this underperformance was the Fund's large underweight to U.S. Treasuries and Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities, which performed poorly as interest rates increased.
In keeping with our investment process, we continued to build the portfolio bond by bond. We seek ideas where our fundamental understanding of the credit risk is different than that of the market, working with our team of analysts to evaluate each potential investment individually. During the reporting period, we found select attractive opportunities as we continued to seek relative values across the fixed income market.
Our analysts continued to analyze and monitor every holding in the portfolio. We are committed to building a portfolio diversified among multiple asset classes and across a large number of issuers. To minimize the Fund's exposure to potential surprises, we limit the positions we take in any one issuer.
Thank you for allowing us to assist you with your investment needs.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements July 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 Income Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers five classes of shares: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, and R6 Shares. Effective February 28, 2022, the Class C 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.
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
46
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
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.
Debt securities are valued each business day by a pricing service approved by the Board. The approved pricing service uses the evaluated bid or the last sale price to value securities. Debt obligations maturing within 60 days may be valued at amortized cost, provided that the amortized cost represents the fair value of such securities. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
In the event that price quotations or valuations are not readily available, investments are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Board. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, based on the observability of inputs used to determine the fair value. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, and the actual price realized from the sale of a security may differ materially from the fair value price. Valuing these securities at fair value is intended to cause the Fund's NAV to be more reliable than it otherwise would be.
A summary of the valuations as of July 31, 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):

For the year ended July 31, 2022, there were no transfers into/out of Level 3.
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.
47
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
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.
Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities:
The values of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Fund to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The values of mortgage- and asset-backed securities depend in part on the credit quality and adequacy of the underlying assets or collateral and may fluctuate in response to the market's perception of these factors as well as current and future repayment rates. Some mortgage-backed securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government (e.g., mortgage-backed securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association, commonly known as "Ginnie Mae"), while other mortgage-backed securities (e.g., mortgage-backed securities issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, commonly known as "Fannie Mae" and "Freddie Mac," respectively), are backed only by the credit of the government entity issuing them. In addition, some mortgage-backed securities are issued by private entities and, as such, are not guaranteed by the U.S. government or any agency or instrumentality of the U.S. government.
Leveraged Loans:
The Fund may invest in leveraged loans, a type of bank loan. Leveraged loans are adjustable-rate bank loans made to companies rated below investment grade. The interest rates on leveraged loans are reset periodically based upon the fluctuations of a base interest rate such as London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and a "spread" above that base interest rate that represents a risk premium to the lending banks and/or other participating investors. Many bank loans bear an adjustable rate of interest; however, leveraged loans provide for a greater "spread" over the base interest rate than other bank loans because they are considered to represent a greater credit risk. Because they are perceived to represent a greater credit risk, leveraged loans possess certain attributes that are similar to high-yield securities. However, because they are often secured by collateral of the borrower, leveraged loans possess certain attributes that are similar to other bank loans.
Below-Investment-Grade Securities:
The Fund may invest in below-investment-grade securities (i.e., lower-quality, "junk" debt), which are subject to various risks. Lower-quality debt is considered to be speculative because it is less certain that the issuer will be able to pay interest or repay the principal than in the case of investment-grade debt. These securities can involve a substantially greater risk of default than higher-rated securities, and their values can decline significantly over short periods of time. Lower-quality debt securities tend to be more sensitive to adverse news about their issuers, the market and the economy in general, than
48
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
higher-quality debt securities. The market for these securities can be less liquid, especially during periods of recession or general market decline.
Derivative Instruments:
Futures Contracts:
The Fund may enter into contracts for the future delivery of securities or foreign currencies and futures contracts based on a specific security, class of securities, foreign currency or an index, and purchase or sell options on any such futures contracts. A futures contract on a securities index is an agreement obligating either party to pay, and entitling the other party to receive, while the contract is outstanding, cash payments based on the level of a specified securities index. No physical delivery of the underlying asset is made. The Fund may enter into futures contracts in an effort to hedge against market risks. The acquisition of put and call options on futures contracts will give the Fund the right (but not the obligation), for a specified price, to sell or to purchase the underlying futures contract, upon exercise of the option, at any time during the option period. Futures transactions involve brokerage costs and require the Fund to segregate assets to cover contracts that would require it to purchase securities or currencies. A good faith margin deposit, known as initial margin, of cash or government securities with a broker or custodian is required to initiate and maintain open positions in futures contracts. Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund based on the change in the market value of the position and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is closed out, at which time the gain or loss is realized. The Fund may lose the expected benefit of futures transactions if interest rates, exchange rates or securities prices change in an unanticipated manner. Such unanticipated changes may also result in lower overall performance than if the Fund had not entered into any futures transactions. In addition, the value of the Fund's futures positions may not prove to be perfectly or even highly correlated with the value of its portfolio securities or foreign currencies, limiting the Fund's ability to hedge effectively against interest rate, exchange rate and/or market risk and giving rise to additional risks. There is no assurance of liquidity in the secondary market for purposes of closing out futures positions.
The collateral held by the Fund is reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under Deposit with broker for futures contracts. The Fund did not hold futures contracts as of July 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. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis. Paydown gains or losses on applicable securities, if any, are recorded as components of Interest income on the Statement of Operations.
The Fund may receive other income from investments in loan assignments and/or unfunded commitments, including amendment fees, consent fees, and commitment fees. These fees are recorded as income when received. These amounts, if received, are included in Interest income on the Statement of Operations.
Securities Lending:
The Fund, through a Securities Lending Agreement with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), may lend its securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers 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
49
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
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 July 31, 2022.
Value of Securities on Loan | Non-Cash Collateral | Cash Collateral | |||||||||
$ | 34,345 | $ | — | $ | 35,269 |
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 July 31.
For the year ended July 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
50
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
at the current market price, which is either the security's last sale price on an exchange or, if there are no transactions in the security that day, at the average of the highest bid and lowest asked price. For the year ended July 31, 2022, the Fund engaged in the following securities transactions with affiliated funds, which resulted in the following net realized gains (losses) (amounts in thousands):

The fund-of-funds do not invest in the underlying funds for the purpose of exercising management or control, and the affiliated fund-of-funds' annual and semi-annual reports may be viewed at www.vcm.com. As of July 31, 2022, certain fund-of-funds owned total outstanding shares of the Fund as follows:
Affiliated USAA Mutual Funds | Ownership % | ||||||
USAA Cornerstone Conservative Fund | 0.5 | ||||||
USAA Target Retirement Income Fund | 0.0 | * |
* Amount is less than 0.05%.
5. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties:
Investment Advisory Fees:
Investment advisory services are provided to the Fund by the Adviser, which is a New York corporation registered as an investment adviser with the SEC. The Adviser is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Victory Capital Holdings, Inc., a publicly traded Delaware corporation, and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Victory Capital Operating, LLC.
Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive a base fee and a performance adjustment. The Fund's base fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.24% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the year ended July 31, 2022, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Investment advisory fees.
The performance adjustment for each share class is accrued daily and calculated monthly by comparing the respective class' performance to that of the Lipper A Rated Bond Funds Index. The Lipper A Rated Bond Funds Index tracks the total return performance of the largest funds within the Lipper A Rated Bond Funds category.
51
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
The performance period for each share class consists of the current month plus the previous 35 months. 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 A Rated Bond Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
For the period August 1, 2021, to July 31, 2022, performance adjustments were $(1,301), $(1,791), $(43), and $(6) for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, and R6 Shares, in thousands, respectively. Performance adjustments were (0.05)%, (0.05)%, (0.06)%, and (0.07)% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, and R6 Shares, respectively. For the period August 1, 2021 to February 28, 2022, performance adjustments were less than $(1) thousand for Class C. Performance adjustments were (0.03)% for Class C. The performance adjustment rate included in the investment advisory fee may differ from the maximum over/under Annual Adjustment Rate due to differences in average net assets for the reporting period and rolling 36 month performance periods.
The Trust relies on an exemptive order granted to VCM and its affiliated funds by the SEC in March 2019, permitting the use of a "manager-of-managers" structure for certain funds. Under a manager-of-managers structure, the investment adviser may select (with approval of the Board and without shareholder approval) one or more subadvisers to manage the day-to-day investment of a fund's assets. For the year ended July 31, 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%, 0.15%, 0.15%, and 0.05%, which is based on the Fund's average daily net assets of the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, Class C, and R6 Shares, respectively. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 31, 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 July 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
52
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 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 July 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, Class A, Class C, and R6 Shares and are paid monthly based on a fee accrued daily at an annualized rate of 0.10%, 0.10%, 0.10%, and 0.01%, respectively, of average daily net assets, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the year ended July 31, 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 and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C. The distribution and service fees paid to the Distributor may be used by the Distributor to pay for activity primarily intended to result in the sale of Class A and Class C. Amounts incurred and paid to the Distributor for the year ended July 31, 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 and Class C. For the year ended July 31, 2022, the Distributor received less than $1 thousand from commissions earned on sales of Class A. For the period August 1, 2021 to February 28, 2022 the Distributor received no commissions on sales of Class C.
Other Fees:
Citibank serves as the Fund's custodian. The Fund pays Citibank a fee for providing these services. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 31, 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 November 30, 2023. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of the Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. 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 July 31, 2022, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 0.52%, 0.46%, 0.77%, and 0.39% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, and R6 Shares, respectively.
Under the terms of the expense limitation agreement, as amended June 29, 2022, the Fund has agreed to repay fees and expenses that were waived or reimbursed by the Adviser for a period of up to
53
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
three years (thirty-six (36) months) after the waiver or reimbursement took place, subject to the lesser of any operating expense limit in effect at the time of: (a) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (b) the recoupment, after giving effect to the recoupment amount.
As of July 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 July 31, 2022.
Expires 2024 | Expires 2025 | Total | |||||||||
$ | 15 | $ | 19 | $ | 34 |
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 is not available to be recouped at a future time. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the year ended July 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.
6. Risks:
The Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
Market Risk — Overall market risks may affect the value of the Fund. Domestic and international factors such as political events, war, 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.
Debt Securities Risk — The value of a debt security or other income-producing security changes in response to various factors including, for example, market-related factors (such as changes in interest rates or changes in the risk appetite of investors generally) and changes in the actual or perceived ability of the issuer (or of issuers generally) to meet its (or their) obligations.
Other factors that may affect the value of debt securities include, among others, public health crises and responses by governments and companies to such crises. These and other events may affect the creditworthiness of the issuer of a debt security and may impair an issuer's ability to timely meet its debt obligations as they come due.
Interest Rate Risk — The Fund is subject to the risk that the market value of the bonds in its portfolio will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates, changes in the supply of and demand for tax-exempt securities, and other market factors. Bond prices generally are linked to the prevailing market interest rates. In general, when interest rates rise, bond prices fall; conversely, when interest rates fall, bond prices rise. The price volatility of a bond also depends on its duration. Generally, the longer the duration of a bond, the greater is its sensitivity to interest rates. To compensate investors for this higher interest rate risk, bonds with longer durations generally offer higher yields than bonds with shorter durations. The ability of an issuer of a debt security to repay principal prior to a security's maturity can increase the security's sensitivity to interest rate changes.
Decisions by the U.S. Federal Reserve (also known as the "Fed") regarding interest rate and monetary policy, which can be difficult to predict and sometimes change direction suddenly in response to economic and market events, can have a significant effect on the value of fixed-income securities as well as the overall strength of the U.S. economy. Precise interest rate predictions are difficult to make, and interest rates may change unexpectedly and dramatically in response to extreme changes in market
54
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
or economic conditions. As a result, the value of fixed-income securities may vary widely under certain market conditions.
LIBOR Discontinuation Risk — The 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. 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.
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 27, 2022, with a termination date of June 26, 2023. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex may borrow up to $600 million, of which $300 million is committed and $300 million is uncommitted. $40 million of the Line of Credit is reserved for use by the Victory Floating Rate Fund, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with Victory Floating Rate Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended July 31, 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 paid a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest on amounts borrowed. For the period from August 1, 2021, through June 27, 2022, interest was based on the one-month LIBOR plus one percent. Effective with the renewal, for the period June 28, 2022, through July 31, 2022, interest was based on the one-month SOFR plus 1.10 percent. 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 July 31, 2022.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 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 July 31, 2022, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Borrower or Lender | Amount Outstanding at July 31, 2022 | Average Borrowing* | Days Borrowing Outstanding | Average Interest Rate* | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | ||||||||||||||||||
Borrower | $ | — | $ | 14,057 | 6 | 0.59 | % | $ | 25,531 |
* Based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding for the year ended July 31, 2022.
8. Federal Income Tax Information:
The Fund intends to distribute any net investment income monthly. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively, distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
As of July 31, 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 | ||||||
$ | (27,734 | ) | $ | 27,734 |

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

* The difference between the book-basis and tax-basis of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, callable bonds amortization, perpetual bonds adjustments and hybrid accruals on interest purchased.
As of July 31, 2022, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.
As of July 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):

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA Income Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA Income Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of July 31, 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 July 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 July 31, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian, agent banks and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from agent banks or 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 February 1, 2022, through July 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.

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,
It certainly has been an interesting — make that challenging — year for investors. If anything, our most recent annual reporting period ended July 31, 2022 reminded us of two enduring realities: 1) financial markets are dynamic and apt to change abruptly; 2) it's vitally important that we remain calm and rational whenever faced with those inevitable bouts of turmoil.
Consider what the past year has dealt us. The latter half of 2021 was largely constructive for financial markets, with record corporate earnings, ample liquidity in markets, and investors largely embracing risk assets. But as the calendar year turned, the script flipped. Almost overnight investor sentiment turned negative. There were many culprits. Inflation data was running persistently hotter than expected, with some of the highest readings in decades. Even the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") stopped calling inflation "transitory" and pivoted to a restrictive monetary policy. The Fed is now singularly focused on inflation and has embarked on a new aggressive rate-hike cycle. On top of all that, a terrible war began (and continues) in Eastern Europe, which fueled rising energy prices and slowed global growth.
These issues, among other factors, have ratcheted up market volatility in both stock and bond markets. Many broad market stock indices pulled back substantially during the first half of 2022 and even entered "bear market" territory in June, which is typically considered a 20% pullback from the most recent highs. Meanwhile, fixed income investors were also dealing with elevated volatility, and wide swaths of the bond market struggled in the face of rising interest rates. For a short while, bonds were not acting as their traditional counterbalance to equities, and that further troubled investors.
Just as quickly the script flipped again as our annual reporting period was drawing to a close. Risk was back on and investors seemingly went bargain hunting in July. Most equity indexes bounced back smartly — not fully recovering losses since the beginning of the calendar year but still making sharp moves higher.
Throughout the ups and downs of the past annual reporting period, there have been interesting subplots playing out within the broader market as different investment styles and sectors took turns in leadership positions. For example, it was interesting to watch crypto assets captivate investors through the earlier part of our annual reporting period, only to see them fall out of favor as sentiment soured. Ironically, those "less-exciting" assets, such as utilities and even money market funds, have been among the better performing throughout 2022. Indeed, things really can change markedly, and if anything, this underscores the importance of diversification.
Looking at the numbers we see that the S&P 500® Index, the bell-weather proxy for our domestic stock market, had an annual total return of -4.64% for the 12-month period ended July 31, 2022. Over this same annual period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 143 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point), thanks largely to the Fed's policy shift and several aggressive rate hikes. At the end of our reporting period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury finished at 2.67%.
2
Given the volatile market environment of the past year, it's comforting that we can draw on our experience managing portfolios through all market environments. This has taught us to remain calm in the face of turmoil. It's imperative that investors do the same, as opposed to chasing short-term trends and acting emotionally. It is our view that a long-term plan, 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.
As ever, there will be challenges ahead. The Fed has declared its intent to continue raising rates even as some elevated inflation readings begin to decline. Labor shortages, ongoing supply chain issues, elevated energy prices, and the Russia-Ukraine war are among the headwinds investors continue to navigate. There's even been some chatter about a possible recession in 2023.
Although no one can definitively predict what markets will do in the future, we can assure you that the investment professionals at all our independent franchises continually monitor the 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 Fund, brought to you by Victory Capital. If you have any questions regarding the current market dynamics or your specific portfolio or investment plan, we encourage you to contact our representatives.

Managers' Commentary
(Unaudited)
• What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
As the world attempted to return to normal, coming out of the historic, COVID-19 government imposed lockdowns, the consequences of those lockdowns began to manifest themselves during the reporting period ended July 31, 2022. In particular, global supply chains that functioned smoothly pre-COVID were disrupted in ways that have yet to work themselves out. Generally speaking, the result was demand that rebounded faster than supply could keep up. To make matters worse, apart from the human tragedy itself, Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 added to the supply chain issues, with impacts on the price of oil, natural gas, wheat and fertilizer, to name but a few. While the general price level fell during COVID, when demand fell faster than supply, the reverse is now true. As measured by the Consumer Price Index ("CPI"), the price level fell from 2.3% in 2019 to 1.4% in 2020, but skyrocketed to 7% in 2021. During 2022, the price level has risen even further, to 8.5% as of July 31, 2022.
These events have taken their toll on the financial markets, with the S&P 500® Index down 4.64% year over year, and 12.58% year to date. The bond market did not escape the pain, either. Indeed, the past year has been one of the worst for fixed income markets for the last 50 years, if not all history. The one-year total return for the period ending July 31, 2022 for the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index was -9.12% year over year, and -8.16% year to date, worse than the S&P 500 Index year over year. These numbers are even worse than during the dollar devaluation period in the late 1970s/early 1980s.
These results were driven primarily by the significant rise in interest rates, as the bond market reacted to the dramatic increases in the price level. While the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") initially believed these price increases to be transitory, the bond market forced them to quickly abandon that thought. What was originally expected to be a gradual 25 basis points ("bps") increase in the federal funds rate morphed into rate hikes that haven't been seen since 1994. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) The Fed started hiking rates by 25 bps in March, then was forced to make additional hikes of 50 bps in May and a whopping 75 bps in June and July. Looking ahead, the bond market appears to expect another 81 bps of rate hikes by December 2022, when the federal funds rate is expected to top out at about 3.31%.
In addition to the jump in Treasury rates, bond spreads have widened out as well. Year over year, the Bloomberg Corporate Index option-adjusted spread rose from 0.85% to 1.42%, a 57 bps increase. This double whammy took its toll on the fixed income market, leaving the Bloomberg Corporate Index with a one-year negative total return of -12.61%.
The recent rise in interest rates is already beginning to dampen demand, particularly for housing, as well as automobiles. Higher gasoline and food prices are also taking their toll, forcing consumers to curtail other purchases. Although the employment situation looks decent with the unemployment rate at 3.5%, that's typically a lagging indicator, and the COVID-19 lockdowns caused havoc in the labor markets, as many businesses still cannot fill all the positions they need. As a result, the U.S. has now experienced the market-accepted definition of recession (two consecutive quarters of negative real Gross Domestic Product ("GDP")). Real GDP (which subtracts CPI from nominal GDP) decreased -1.6% in the first quarter of 2022, and -0.9% in the second quarter of 2022. Economic

activity is likely to continue to slow in the near term as the economy re-adjusts from the COVID-19 pandemic.
• How did the USAA Short-Term Bond Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?
The Fund has four share classes: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, and R6 Shares. For the reporting period ended July 31, 2022, the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, and R6 Shares had total returns of -3.07%, -3.09%, -3.26%, and -2.98%, respectively. This compares to returns of -3.12% for the Bloomberg 1-3 Year Credit Index (the "Index") and -3.66% for the Lipper Short Investment Grade Debt Funds Index.
• What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?
The Fund earned a negative total return during the reporting period and outperformed the Index, driven primarily by the increases in Treasury rates and credit spreads, offset by coupon income. Changes in the yield curve detracted from performance, as the Fund is more laddered than the Index, where as allocation and selection added to performance. Reflecting the portfolio's diversification, the Fund's results were spread among a variety of sectors. Within corporate bonds, the Fund benefited from investments in airlines, consumer cyclical services, finance companies, aerospace and defense, and independent exploration & production. Certain other market segments weighed on relative performance, although they produced positive returns. These included U.S. Treasurys, cash, pharmaceuticals, integrated energy, and taxable municipal securities. We continued to adhere to our disciplined investment approach, which seeks to maintain an attractive yield with an acceptable level of risk. From a credit risk perspective, our higher exposure to BBB and high yield bonds outperformed, while higher rated investment-grade bonds posted lower returns relative to the portfolio returns as well as the Index.
To identify attractive investment opportunities, we worked with our in-house team of credit analysts, continuing to build the portfolio bond-by-bond, through fundamental bottom-up analysis. We seek ideas where our fundamental understanding of the credit risk is different than the market. This approach, we believe, will generate total returns that may outperform our peers over the long run, with less volatility. Our credit analysts review all securities considered for purchase and assign their own independent credit rating. As always, they continuously monitor every holding in the Fund. We are committed to building a portfolio diversified among multiple asset classes and across a large number of issuers. To minimize the Fund's exposure to potential surprises, we limit the positions we take in any one issuer. The Fund had a small allocation to derivatives during the period that did not have a material impact on performance.
Thank you for allowing us to assist you with your investment needs.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements July 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 Short-Term Bond Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers four classes of shares: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, and R6 Shares. The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.
Each class of shares of the Fund has substantially identical rights and privileges, except with respect to sales charges, fees paid under distribution plans, expenses allocable exclusively to each class of shares, voting rights on matters solely affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange privilege of each class of shares.
Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with 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.
44
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
Portfolio securities listed or traded on securities exchanges, including Exchange-Traded Funds ("ETFs"), are valued at the closing price on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, if available, or at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price. If there have been no sales for that day on the exchange or system, then a security is valued at the last available bid quotation on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
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.
Debt securities are valued each business day by a pricing service approved by the Board. The approved pricing service uses the evaluated bid or the last sale price to value securities. Debt obligations maturing within 60 days may be valued at amortized cost, provided that the amortized cost represents the fair value of such securities. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or an exchange on which they are traded. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
In the event that price quotations or valuations are not readily available, investments are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Board. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, based on the observability of inputs used to determine the fair value. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, and the actual price realized from the sale of a security may differ materially from the fair value price. Valuing these securities at fair value is intended to cause the Fund's NAV to be more reliable than it otherwise would be.
A summary of the valuations as of July 31, 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):

For the year ended July 31, 2022, there were no transfers into/out of Level 3.
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.
45
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
Investment Companies:
Open-End Funds:
The Fund may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the board of directors of the underlying funds.
Securities Purchased on a Delayed-Delivery or When-Issued Basis:
The Fund may purchase securities on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis, or for delayed draws on loans can take place a month or more after the trade date. At the time the Fund makes the commitment to purchase a security on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis, the Fund records the transaction and reflects the value of the security in determining NAV. No interest accrues to the Fund until the transaction settles and payment takes place. A segregated account is established and the Fund maintains cash and/or marketable securities at least equal in value to commitments for delayed-delivery or when-issued securities. If the Fund owns delayed-delivery or when-issued securities, these values are included in 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.
Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities:
The values of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Fund to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The values of mortgage- and asset-backed securities depend in part on the credit quality and adequacy of the underlying assets or collateral and may fluctuate in response to the market's perception of these factors as well as current and future repayment rates. Some mortgage-backed securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government (e.g., mortgage-backed securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association, commonly known as "Ginnie Mae"), while other mortgage-backed securities (e.g., mortgage-backed securities issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, commonly known as "Fannie Mae" and "Freddie Mac," respectively), are backed only by the credit of the government entity issuing them. In addition, some mortgage-backed securities are issued by private entities and, as such, are not guaranteed by the U.S. government or any agency or instrumentality of the U.S. government.
Leveraged Loans:
The Fund may invest in leveraged loans, a type of bank loan. Leveraged loans are adjustable-rate bank loans made to companies rated below investment grade. The interest rates on leveraged loans are reset periodically based upon the fluctuations of a base interest rate such as London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and a "spread" above that base interest rate that represents a risk premium to the lending banks and/or other participating investors. Many bank loans bear an adjustable rate of interest; however, leveraged loans provide for a greater "spread" over the base interest rate than other bank loans because they are considered to represent a greater credit risk. Because they are perceived to represent a greater credit risk, leveraged loans possess certain attributes that are similar to high-yield securities. However, because they are often secured by collateral of the borrower, leveraged loans possess certain attributes that are similar to other bank loans.
46
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
Below-Investment-Grade Securities:
The Fund may invest in below-investment-grade securities (i.e., lower-quality, "junk" debt), which are subject to various risks. Lower-quality debt is considered to be speculative because it is less certain that the issuer will be able to pay interest or repay the principal than in the case of investment-grade debt. These securities can involve a substantially greater risk of default than higher-rated securities, and their values can decline significantly over short periods of time. Lower-quality debt securities tend to be more sensitive to adverse news about their issuers, the market and the economy in general, than higher-quality debt securities. The market for these securities can be less liquid, especially during periods of recession or general market decline.
Derivative Instruments:
Futures Contracts:
The Fund may enter into contracts for the future delivery of securities or foreign currencies and futures contracts based on a specific security, class of securities, foreign currency or an index, and purchase or sell options on any such futures contracts. A futures contract on a securities index is an agreement obligating either party to pay, and entitling the other party to receive, while the contract is outstanding, cash payments based on the level of a specified securities index. No physical delivery of the underlying asset is made. The Fund may enter into futures contracts in an effort to hedge against market risks. The acquisition of put and call options on futures contracts will give the Fund the right (but not the obligation), for a specified price, to sell or to purchase the underlying futures contract, upon exercise of the option, at any time during the option period. Futures transactions involve brokerage costs and require the Fund to segregate assets to cover contracts that would require it to purchase securities or currencies. A good faith margin deposit, known as initial margin, of cash or government securities with a broker or custodian is required to initiate and maintain open positions in futures contracts. Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund based on the change in the market value of the position and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is closed out, at which time the gain or loss is realized. The Fund may lose the expected benefit of futures transactions if interest rates, exchange rates or securities prices change in an unanticipated manner. Such unanticipated changes may also result in lower overall performance than if the Fund had not entered into any futures transactions. In addition, the value of the Fund's futures positions may not prove to be perfectly or even highly correlated with the value of its portfolio securities or foreign currencies, limiting the Fund's ability to hedge effectively against interest rate, exchange rate and/or market risk and giving rise to additional risks. There is no assurance of liquidity in the secondary market for purposes of closing out futures positions. The collateral held by the Fund is presented on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under Deposit with broker for futures contracts. The Fund did not hold futures contracts as of July 31, 2022.
During the year ended July 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 presents the effect of derivative instruments on the Statement of Operations, categorized by risk exposure, for the year ended July 31, 2022 (amounts in thousands):

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 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. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis. Paydown gains or losses on applicable securities, if any, are recorded as components of Interest income on the Statement of Operations.
The Fund may receive other income from investments in loan assignments and/or unfunded commitments, including amendment fees, consent fees, and commitment fees. These fees are recorded as income when received. These amounts, if received, are included in Interest income on the Statement of Operations.
Securities Lending:
The Fund, through a Securities Lending Agreement with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), may lend its securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers 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 July 31, 2022.
Value of Securities on Loan | Non-Cash Collateral | Cash Collateral | |||||||||
$ | 26,327 | $ | — | $ | 27,149 |
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.
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 July 31.
For the year ended July 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 July 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):

5. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties:
Investment Advisory Fees:
Investment advisory services are provided to the Fund by the Adviser, which is a New York corporation registered as an investment adviser with the SEC. The Adviser is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Victory Capital Holdings, Inc., a publicly traded Delaware corporation, and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Victory Capital Operating, LLC.
Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive a base fee and a performance adjustment. The Fund's base fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the year ended July 31, 2022, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Investment advisory fees.
The performance adjustment for each share class is accrued daily and calculated monthly by comparing the respective class' performance to that of the Lipper Short Investment Grade Debt Funds Index. The Lipper Short Investment Grade Debt Funds Index tracks the total return performance of the largest funds within the Lipper Short Investment Grade Debt Funds category.
The performance period for each share class consists of the current month plus the previous 35 months. 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 Short Investment Grade Debt Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
50
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
For the period August 1, 2021, to July 31, 2022, performance adjustments were $521, $928, $5, and $7 for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, and R6 Shares, in thousands, respectively. Performance adjustments were 0.05%, 0.05%, 0.03%, and 0.01% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, and R6 Shares, respectively. The performance adjustment rate included in the investment advisory fee may differ from the maximum over/under Annual Adjustment Rate due to differences in average net assets for the reporting period and rolling 36 month performance periods.
The Trust relies on an exemptive order granted to VCM and its affiliated funds by the SEC in March 2019, permitting the use of a "manager-of-managers" structure for certain funds. Under a manager-of-managers structure, the investment adviser may select (with approval of the Board and without shareholder approval) one or more subadvisers to manage the day-to-day investment of a fund's assets. For the year ended July 31, 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%, 0.15%, and 0.05%, which is based on the Fund's average daily net assets of the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, and R6 Shares, respectively. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 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 July 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 July 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, Class A, and R6 Shares are paid monthly based on a fee accrued daily at an annualized rate of 0.10%, 0.10% and 0.01%, respectively, of average daily net assets, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the year ended July 31, 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.
51
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
Pursuant to the Distribution and Service Plans adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Distributor may receive a monthly distribution and service fee, at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A. The distribution and service fees paid to the Distributor may be used by the Distributor to pay for activity primarily intended to result in the sale of Class A. Amounts incurred and paid to the Distributor for the year ended July 31, 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 July 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 July 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 November 30, 2023. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of the Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. 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 July 31, 2022, the expense limit (excluding voluntary waivers) were 0.53%, 0.43%, 0.73%, and 0.39% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, and R6 Shares, respectively.
Under the terms of the expense limitation agreement, as amended June 29, 2022, 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 limit in effect at the time of: (a) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (b) the recoupment, after giving effect to the recoupment amount.
As of July 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 July 31, 2022.
Expires 2023 | Expires 2024 | Expires 2025 | Total | ||||||||||||
$ | 2 | $ | 31 | $ | 19 | $ | 52 |
The Adviser may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Fund in maintaining competitive expense ratios. Voluntary waivers and reimbursements applicable to the Fund are not available to be recouped at a future time. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the year ended July 31, 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.
6. Risks:
The Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
Debt Securities Risk — The value of a debt security or other income-producing security changes in response to various factors including, for example, market-related factors (such as changes in interest rates or changes in the risk appetite of investors generally) and changes in the actual or perceived ability of the issuer (or of issuers generally) to meet its (or their) obligations.
52
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 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.
Interest Rate Risk — The Fund is subject to the risk that the market value of the bonds in its portfolio will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates, changes in the supply of and demand for tax-exempt securities, and other market factors. Bond prices generally are linked to the prevailing market interest rates. In general, when interest rates rise, bond prices fall; conversely, when interest rates fall, bond prices rise. The price volatility of a bond also depends on its duration. Generally, the longer the duration of a bond, the greater is its sensitivity to interest rates. To compensate investors for this higher interest rate risk, bonds with longer durations generally offer higher yields than bonds with shorter durations. The ability of an issuer of a debt security to repay principal prior to a security's maturity can increase the security's sensitivity to interest rate changes.
Decisions by the U.S. Federal Reserve (also known as the "Fed") regarding interest rate and monetary policy, which can be difficult to predict and sometimes change direction suddenly in response to economic and market events, can have a significant effect on the value of fixed-income securities as well as the overall strength of the U.S. economy. Precise interest rate predictions are difficult to make, and interest rates may change unexpectedly and dramatically in response to extreme changes in market or economic conditions. As a result, the value of fixed-income securities may vary widely under certain market conditions.
Credit Risk — The fixed-income securities in the Fund's portfolio are subject to credit risk, which is the possibility that an issuer of a fixed-income security will fail to make timely interest and/or principal payments on its securities or that negative market perceptions of the issuer's ability to make such payments will cause the price of that security to decline. The Fund accepts some credit risk as a recognized means to enhance an investor's return. All fixed-income securities, varying from the highest quality to the very speculative, have some degree of credit risk.
LIBOR Discontinuation Risk — The 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. 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
53
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 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.
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 27, 2022, with a termination date of June 26, 2023. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex may borrow up to $600 million, of which $300 million is committed and $300 million is uncommitted. $40 million of the Line of Credit is reserved for use by the Victory Floating Rate Fund, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with Victory Floating Rate Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended July 31, 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 paid a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest on amounts borrowed. For the period from August 1, 2021, through June 27, 2022, interest was based on the one-month LIBOR plus one percent. Effective with the renewal, for the period June 28, 2022, through July 31, 2022, interest was based on the one-month SOFR plus 1.10 percent. 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 July 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 July 31, 2022.
8. Federal Income Tax Information:
Distributions from the Fund's net investment income are accrued daily and distributed on the last business day of each month. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.
54
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively, distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
As of July 31, 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 | ||||||
$ | (880 | ) | $ | 880 |
The tax character of distributions paid during the tax years ended, as noted below, were as follows (total distributions paid may differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because, for tax purposes, dividends are recognized when actually paid) (amounts in thousands):
Year Ended July 31, 2022 | Year Ended July 31, 2021 | ||||||||||||||||||||||

$ | 60,127 | $ | 16,863 | $ | 76,990 | $ | 80,403 | $ | 4,843 | $ | 85,246 |
As of July 31, 2022, the components of accumulated earnings (loss) on a tax basis were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Undistributed Ordinary Income | Other Earnings (Loss) | Distributions Payable | Accumulated Earnings | Qualified Late-Year Losses* | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)** | Total Accumulated Earnings (Loss) | |||||||||||||||||||||

* Qualified late-year losses are comprised of post-October capital losses incurred after October 31 and certain late-year ordinary losses. These losses are deemed to arise on the first day of the Fund's next taxable year.
** The difference between the book-basis and tax-basis of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, callable bonds amortization, as-of trade activity and hybrid accruals on interest purchased.
As of July 31, 2022, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.
As of July 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 Short-Term Bond Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA Short-Term Bond Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of July 31, 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 July 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 July 31, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian, agent banks and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers or agent banks were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more Victory Capital investment companies since 1995.

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information
Proxy Voting:
Information regarding the policies and procedures the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling (800) 235-8396. The information is also included in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Information relating to how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent 12 months ended June 30 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments:
The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. Form N-PORT is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Expense Examples
As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from February 1, 2022, through July 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.

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,
It certainly has been an interesting — make that challenging — year for investors. If anything, our most recent annual reporting period ended July 31, 2022 reminded us of two enduring realities: 1) financial markets are dynamic and apt to change abruptly; 2) it's vitally important that we remain calm and rational whenever faced with those inevitable bouts of turmoil.
Consider what the past year has dealt us. The latter half of 2021 was largely constructive for financial markets, with record corporate earnings, ample liquidity in markets, and investors largely embracing risk assets. But as the calendar year turned, the script flipped. Almost overnight investor sentiment turned negative. There were many culprits. Inflation data was running persistently hotter than expected, with some of the highest readings in decades. Even the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") stopped calling inflation "transitory" and pivoted to a restrictive monetary policy. The Fed is now singularly focused on inflation and has embarked on a new aggressive rate-hike cycle. On top of all that, a terrible war began (and continues) in Eastern Europe, which fueled rising energy prices and slowed global growth.
These issues, among other factors, have ratcheted up market volatility in both stock and bond markets. Many broad market stock indices pulled back substantially during the first half of 2022 and even entered "bear market" territory in June, which is typically considered a 20% pullback from the most recent highs. Meanwhile, fixed income investors were also dealing with elevated volatility, and wide swaths of the bond market struggled in the face of rising interest rates. For a short while, bonds were not acting as their traditional counterbalance to equities, and that further troubled investors.
Just as quickly the script flipped again as our annual reporting period was drawing to a close. Risk was back on and investors seemingly went bargain hunting in July. Most equity indexes bounced back smartly — not fully recovering losses since the beginning of the calendar year but still making sharp moves higher.
Throughout the ups and downs of the past annual reporting period, there have been interesting subplots playing out within the broader market as different investment styles and sectors took turns in leadership positions. For example, it was interesting to watch crypto assets captivate investors through the earlier part of our annual reporting period, only to see them fall out of favor as sentiment soured. Ironically, those "less-exciting" assets, such as utilities and even money market funds, have been among the better performing throughout 2022. Indeed, things really can change markedly, and if anything, this underscores the importance of diversification.
Looking at the numbers we see that the S&P 500® Index, the bell-weather proxy for our domestic stock market, had an annual total return of -4.64% for the 12-month period ended July 31, 2022. Over this same annual period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 143 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point), thanks largely to the Fed's policy shift and several aggressive rate hikes. At the end of our reporting period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury finished at 2.67%.
Given the volatile market environment of the past year, it's comforting that we can draw on our experience managing portfolios through all market environments. This
2
has taught us to remain calm in the face of turmoil. It's imperative that investors do the same, as opposed to chasing short-term trends and acting emotionally. It is our view that a long-term plan, 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.
As ever, there will be challenges ahead. The Fed has declared its intent to continue raising rates even as some elevated inflation readings begin to decline. Labor shortages, ongoing supply chain issues, elevated energy prices, and the Russia-Ukraine war are among the headwinds investors continue to navigate. There's even been some chatter about a possible recession in 2023.
Although no one can definitively predict what markets will do in the future, we can assure you that the investment professionals at all our independent franchises continually monitor the 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 Fund, brought to you by Victory Capital. If you have any questions regarding the current market dynamics or your specific portfolio or investment plan, we encourage you to contact our representatives. Call (800) 235-8396 or visit our website at www.vcm.com.
From all of us here at Victory Capital, thank you for letting us help you work toward your investment goals.

USAA Intermediate-Term Bond Fund
Managers' Commentary
(Unaudited)
• What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
As the world attempted to return to normal, coming out of the historic, COVID-19 government imposed lockdowns, the consequences of those lockdowns began to manifest themselves during the reporting period ended July 31, 2022. In particular, global supply chains that functioned smoothly pre-COVID were disrupted in ways that have yet to work themselves out. Generally speaking, the result was demand that rebounded faster than supply could keep up. To make matters worse, apart from the human tragedy itself, Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 added to the supply chain issues, with impacts on the price of oil, natural gas, wheat and fertilizer, to name but a few. While the general price level fell during COVID, when demand fell faster than supply, the reverse is now true. As measured by the Consumer Price Index ("CPI"), the price level fell from 2.3% in 2019 to 1.4% in 2020, but skyrocketed to 7% in 2021. During 2022, the price level has risen even further, to 8.5% as of July 31, 2022.
These events have taken their toll on the financial markets, with the S&P 500® Index down 4.64% year over year, and 12.58% year to date. The bond market did not escape the pain, either. Indeed, the past year has been one of the worst for fixed income markets for the last 50 years, if not all history. The one-year total return for the period ending July 31, 2022 for the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index was -9.12% year over year, and -8.16% year to date, worse than the S&P 500 Index year over year. These numbers are even worse than during the dollar devaluation period in the late 1970s/early 1980s.
These results were driven primarily by the significant rise in interest rates, as the bond market reacted to the dramatic increases in the price level. While the U.S Federal Reserve (the "Fed") initially believed these price increases to be transitory, the bond market forced them to quickly abandon that thought. What was originally expected to be a gradual 25 basis points ("bps") increase in the federal funds rate morphed into rate hikes that haven't been seen since 1994. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) The Fed started hiking rates by 25 bps in March, then was forced to make additional hikes of 50 bps in May and a whopping 75 bps in June and July. Looking ahead, the bond market appears to expect another 81 bps of rate hikes by December 2022, when the federal funds rate is expected to top out at about 3.31%.
In addition to the jump in Treasury rates, bond spreads have widened out as well. Year over year, the Bloomberg Corporate Index option-adjusted spread rose from 0.85% to 1.42%, a 57 bps increase. This double whammy took its toll on the fixed income market, leaving the Bloomberg Corporate Index with a one-year negative total return of -12.61%.
The recent rise in interest rates is already beginning to dampen demand, particularly for housing, as well as automobiles. Higher gasoline and food prices are also taking their toll, forcing consumers to curtail other purchases. Although the employment situation looks decent with the unemployment rate at 3.5%, that's typically a lagging indicator, and the COVID-19 lockdowns caused havoc in the labor markets, as many businesses still cannot fill all the positions they need. As a result, the U.S. has now experienced the
4
USAA Intermediate-Term Bond Fund
Managers' Commentary (continued)
market-accepted definition of recession (two consecutive quarters of negative real Gross Domestic Product ("GDP")). Real GDP (which subtracts CPI from nominal GDP) decreased -1.6% in the first quarter of 2022, and -0.9% in the second quarter of 2022. Economic activity is likely to continue to slow in the near term as the economy re-adjusts from the COVID-19 pandemic.
• How did the USAA Intermediate-Term Bond Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?
The Fund has five share classes: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, Class C, and R6 Shares. For the reporting period ended July 31, 2022, the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, Class C, and R6 Shares had total returns of -9.39%, -9.24%, -9.64%, -10.11%, and -9.08%, respectively. This compares to returns of -9.12% for the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the "Index") and -9.84% for the Lipper Core Plus Bond Funds Index.
• What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?
The Fund produced a negative total return through the reporting period ended July 31, 2022, and underperformed the Index which also had negative returns during the reporting period. The negative total returns for both the Fund and the Index were primarily driven by increases in interest rates during the second half of the reporting period. The Fund's higher allocation to BBB-rated corporate credit relative to the Index, was a primary driver of underperformance. Offsetting this underperformance was the Fund's large underweight to Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities, which performed poorly as interest rates increased.
In keeping with our investment process, we continued to build the portfolio bond by bond. We seek ideas where our fundamental understanding of the credit risk is different than that of the market, working with our team of analysts to evaluate each potential investment individually. During the reporting period, we select attractive opportunities as we continued to seek relative values across the fixed income market. Our analysts continued to analyze and monitor every holding in the portfolio. We are committed to building a portfolio diversified among multiple asset classes and across a large number of issuers. To minimize the Fund's exposure to potential surprises, we limit the positions we take in any one issuer. The Fund had a small allocation to derivatives during the period that did not have a material impact on performance.
Thank you for allowing us to assist you with your investment needs.

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

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements July 31, 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 Intermediate-Term Bond Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers five classes of shares: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, Class C, and R6 Shares. The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.
Each class of shares of the Fund has substantially identical rights and privileges, except with respect to sales charges, fees paid under distribution plans, expenses allocable exclusively to each class of shares, voting rights on matters solely affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange privilege of each class of shares.
Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with 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.
46
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
Portfolio securities listed or traded on securities exchanges, including Exchange-Traded Funds ("ETFs"), are valued at the closing price on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, if available, or at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price. If there have been no sales for that day on the exchange or system, then a security is valued at the last available bid quotation on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
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.
Debt securities are valued each business day by a pricing service approved by the Board. The approved pricing service uses the evaluated bid or the last sale price to value securities. Debt obligations maturing within 60 days may be valued at amortized cost, provided that the amortized cost represents the fair value of such securities. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or an exchange on which they are traded. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
In the event that price quotations or valuations are not readily available, investments are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Board. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, based on the observability of inputs used to determine the fair value. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, and the actual price realized from the sale of a security may differ materially from the fair value price. Valuing these securities at fair value is intended to cause the Fund's NAV to be more reliable than it otherwise would be.
A summary of the valuations as of July 31, 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):

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"):
The Fund may invest in REITs, which report information on the source of their distributions annually. REITs are pooled investment vehicles that invest primarily in income producing real estate or real estate related loans or interests (such as mortgages). Certain distributions received from REITs during the year are recorded as realized gains or return of capital as estimated by the Fund or when such information becomes known.
Investment Companies:
Open-End Funds:
The Fund may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the board of directors of the underlying funds.
Securities Purchased on a Delayed-Delivery or When-Issued Basis:
The Fund may purchase securities on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis, or for delayed draws on loans can take place a month or more after the trade date. At the time the Fund makes the commitment to purchase a security on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis, the Fund records the transaction and reflects the value of the security in determining NAV. No interest accrues to the Fund until the transaction settles and payment takes place. A segregated account is established and the Fund maintains cash and/or marketable securities at least equal in value to commitments for delayed-delivery or when-issued securities. If the Fund owns delayed-delivery or when-issued securities, these values are included in 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.
Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities:
The values of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Fund to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The values of mortgage- and asset-backed securities depend in part on the credit quality and adequacy of the underlying assets or collateral and may fluctuate in response to the market's perception of these factors as well as current and future repayment rates. Some mortgage-backed securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government (e.g., mortgage-backed securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association, commonly known as "Ginnie Mae"), while other mortgage-backed securities (e.g., mortgage-backed securities issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, commonly known as "Fannie Mae" and "Freddie Mac," respectively), are backed only by the credit of the government entity issuing them. In addition, some mortgage-backed securities are issued by private entities and, as such, are not guaranteed by the U.S. government or any agency or instrumentality of the U.S. government.

Leveraged Loans:
The Fund may invest in leveraged loans, a type of bank loan. Leveraged loans are adjustable-rate bank loans made to companies rated below investment grade. The interest rates on leveraged loans are reset periodically based upon the fluctuations of a base interest rate such as London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and a "spread" above that base interest rate that represents a risk premium to the lending banks and/or other participating investors. Many bank loans bear an adjustable rate of interest; however, leveraged loans provide for a greater "spread" over the base interest rate than other bank loans because they are considered to represent a greater credit risk. Because they are perceived to represent a greater credit risk, leveraged loans possess certain attributes that are similar to high-yield securities. However, because they are often secured by collateral of the borrower, leveraged loans possess certain attributes that are similar to other bank loans.
Below-Investment-Grade Securities:
The Fund may invest in below-investment-grade securities (i.e., lower-quality, "junk" debt), which are subject to various risks. Lower-quality debt is considered to be speculative because it is less certain that the issuer will be able to pay interest or repay the principal than in the case of investment-grade debt. These securities can involve a substantially greater risk of default than higher-rated securities, and their values can decline significantly over short periods of time. Lower-quality debt securities tend to be more sensitive to adverse news about their issuers, the market and the economy in general, than higher-quality debt securities. The market for these securities can be less liquid, especially during periods of recession or general market decline.
Derivative Instruments:
Futures Contracts:
The Fund may enter into contracts for the future delivery of securities or foreign currencies and futures contracts based on a specific security, class of securities, foreign currency or an index, and purchase or sell options on any such futures contracts. A futures contract on a securities index is an agreement obligating either party to pay, and entitling the other party to receive, while the contract is outstanding, cash payments based on the level of a specified securities index. No physical delivery of the underlying asset is made. The Fund may enter into futures contracts in an effort to hedge against market risks. The acquisition of put and call options on futures contracts will give the Fund the right (but not the obligation), for a specified price, to sell or to purchase the underlying futures contract, upon exercise of the option, at any time during the option period. Futures transactions involve brokerage costs and require the Fund to segregate assets to cover contracts that would require it to purchase securities or currencies. A good faith margin deposit, known as initial margin, of cash or government securities with a broker or custodian is required to initiate and maintain open positions in futures contracts. Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund based on the change in the market value of the position and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is closed out, at which time the gain or loss is realized. The Fund may lose the expected benefit of futures transactions if interest rates, exchange rates or securities prices change in an unanticipated manner. Such unanticipated changes may also result in lower overall performance than if the Fund had not entered into any futures transactions. In addition, the value of the Fund's futures positions may not prove to be perfectly or even highly correlated with the value of its portfolio securities or foreign currencies, limiting the Fund's ability to hedge effectively against interest rate, exchange rate and/or market risk and giving rise to additional risks. There is no assurance of liquidity in the secondary market for purposes of closing out futures positions. The collateral held by the Fund is reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under Deposit with broker for futures contracts.
During the year ended July 31, 2022, the Fund held futures contracts primarily for the strategy of gaining exposure to a particular asset class or securities market.

All open derivative positions at year end are reflected on the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The underlying face value of open derivative positions relative to the Fund's net assets at year end is generally representative of the notional amount of open positions to net assets throughout the year.
Investment Transactions and Related Income:
Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date 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. Paydown gains or losses on applicable securities, if any, are recorded as components of Interest income on the Statement of Operations.
The Fund may receive other income from investments in loan assignments and/or unfunded commitments, including amendment fees, consent fees, and commitment fees. These fees are recorded as income when received. These amounts, if received, are included in Interest income on the Statement of Operations.
Securities Lending:
The Fund, through a Securities Lending Agreement with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), may lend its securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers 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
50
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
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 July 31, 2022.
Value of Securities on Loan | Non-Cash Collateral | Cash Collateral | |||||||||
$ | 20,839 | $ | — | $ | 21,424 |
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 July 31.
For the year ended July 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.

5. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties:
Investment Advisory Fees:
Investment advisory services are provided to the Fund by the Adviser, which is a New York corporation registered as an investment adviser with the SEC. The Adviser is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Victory Capital Holdings, Inc., a publicly traded Delaware corporation, and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Victory Capital Operating, LLC.
Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive a base fee and a performance adjustment. The Fund's base fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.50% of the first $50 million of the Fund's average daily net assets, 0.40% of that portion of the Fund's average daily net assets over $50 million but not over $100 million, and 0.30% of that portion of the Fund's average daily net assets over $100 million. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the year ended July 31, 2022, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Investment advisory fees.
The performance adjustment for each share class is accrued daily and calculated monthly by comparing the respective class' performance to that of the Lipper Core Plus Bond Funds Index. The Lipper Core Plus Bond Funds Index tracks the total return performance of the largest funds within the Lipper Core Plus Bond Funds category.
The performance period for each share class consists of the current month plus the previous 35 months. 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.
52
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
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 Core Plus Bond Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
For the period August 1, 2021, to July 31, 2022, performance adjustments were $1,102, $1,030, $23, less than $1, and $28 for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, Class C, and R6 Shares, in thousands, respectively. Performance adjustments were 0.06%, 0.06%, 0.05%, less than 0.01%, and 0.02% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, Class C, and R6 Shares, respectively. The performance adjustment rate included in the investment advisory fee may differ from the maximum over/under Annual Adjustment Rate due to differences in average net assets for the reporting period and rolling 36 month performance periods.
The Trust relies on an exemptive order granted to VCM and its affiliated funds by the SEC in March 2019, permitting the use of a "manager-of-managers" structure for certain funds. Under a manager-of-managers structure, the investment adviser may select (with approval of the Board and without shareholder approval) one or more subadvisers to manage the day-to-day investment of a fund's assets. For the year ended July 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%, 0.15%, 0.15%, and 0.05%, which is based on the Fund's average daily net assets of the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, Class C, and R6 Shares, respectively. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 31, 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 July 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 July 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, Class A, Class C, and R6 Shares, are paid monthly based on a fee accrued daily at an annualized rate of 0.10%, 0.10%, 0.10%,and 0.01%,
53
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
respectively, of average daily net assets, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the year ended July 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 and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C. The distribution and service fees paid to the Distributor may be used by the Distributor to pay for activity primarily intended to result in the sale of Class A and Class C. Amounts incurred and paid to the Distributor for the year ended July 31, 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 and Class C. For the year ended July 31, 2022, the Distributor received $2 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 July 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 November 30, 2023. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of the Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. 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 July 31, 2022, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 0.59%, 0.52%, 0.87%, 1.53%, and 0.39% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, Class C, and R6 Shares, respectively.
Under the terms of the expense limitation agreement, as amended June 29, 2022, 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 limit in effect at the time of: (a) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (b) the recoupment, after giving effect to the recoupment amount.
As of July 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 July 31, 2022.

available to be recouped at a future time. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the year ended July 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.
6. Risks:
The Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
Debt Securities Risk — The value of a debt security or other income-producing security changes in response to various factors including, for example, market-related factors (such as changes in interest rates or changes in the risk appetite of investors generally) and changes in the actual or perceived ability of the issuer (or of issuers generally) to meet its (or their) obligations.
Other factors that may affect the value of debt securities include, among others, public health crises and responses by governments and companies to such crises. These and other events may affect the creditworthiness of the issuer of a debt security and may impair an issuer's ability to timely meet its debt obligations as they come due.
Interest Rate Risk — The Fund is subject to the risk that the market value of the bonds in its portfolio will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates, changes in the supply of and demand for tax-exempt securities, and other market factors. Bond prices generally are linked to the prevailing market interest rates. In general, when interest rates rise, bond prices fall; conversely, when interest rates fall, bond prices rise. The price volatility of a bond also depends on its duration. Generally, the longer the duration of a bond, the greater is its sensitivity to interest rates. To compensate investors for this higher interest rate risk, bonds with longer durations generally offer higher yields than bonds with shorter durations. The ability of an issuer of a debt security to repay principal prior to a security's maturity can increase the security's sensitivity to interest rate changes.
Decisions by the U.S. Federal Reserve (also known as the "Fed") regarding interest rate and monetary policy, which can be difficult to predict and sometimes change direction suddenly in response to economic and market events, can have a significant effect on the value of fixed-income securities as well as the overall strength of the U.S. economy. Precise interest rate predictions are difficult to make, and interest rates may change unexpectedly and dramatically in response to extreme changes in market or economic conditions. As a result, the value of fixed-income securities may vary widely under certain market conditions.
Credit Risk — The fixed-income securities in the Fund's portfolio are subject to credit risk, which is the possibility that an issuer of a fixed-income security will fail to make timely interest and/or principal payments on its securities or that negative market perceptions of the issuer's ability to make such payments will cause the price of that security to decline. The Fund accepts some credit risk as a recognized means to enhance an investor's return. All fixed-income securities, varying from the highest quality to the very speculative, have some degree of credit risk.
LIBOR Discontinuation Risk — The 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. 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
55
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
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.
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.
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 27, 2022, with a termination date of June 26, 2023. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex may borrow up to $600 million, of which $300 million is committed and $300 million is uncommitted. $40 million of the Line of Credit is reserved for use by the Victory Floating Rate Fund, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with Victory Floating Rate Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended July 31, 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 paid a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest on amounts borrowed. For the period from August 1, 2021, through June 27, 2022, interest was based on the one-month LIBOR plus one percent. Effective with the renewal, for the period June 28, 2022, through July 31, 2022, interest was based on the one-month SOFR plus 1.10 percent. 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 July 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
56
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
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 July 31, 2022, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Borrower or Lender | Amount Outstanding at July 31, 2022 | Average Borrowing* | Days Borrowing Outstanding | Average Interest Rate* | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | ||||||||||||||||||
Borrower | $ | — | $ | 6,435 | 6 | 0.58 | % | $ | 8,180 |
* Based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding for the year ended July 31, 2022.
8. Federal Income Tax Information:
Distributions from the Fund's net investment income are accrued daily and distributed on the last business day of each month. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively, distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of USAA Intermediate-Term Bond Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA Intermediate-Term Bond Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of July 31, 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 July 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 July 31, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian, agent banks and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from agent banks or 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 February 1, 2022, through July 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.

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.

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

Dear Shareholder,
It certainly has been an interesting — make that challenging — year for investors. If anything, our most recent annual reporting period ended July 31, 2022 reminded us of two enduring realities: 1) financial markets are dynamic and apt to change abruptly; 2) it's vitally important that we remain calm and rational whenever faced with those inevitable bouts of turmoil.
Consider what the past year has dealt us. The latter half of 2021 was largely constructive for financial markets, with record corporate earnings, ample liquidity in markets, and investors largely embracing risk assets. But as the calendar year turned, the script flipped. Almost overnight investor sentiment turned negative. There were many culprits. Inflation data was running persistently hotter than expected, with some of the highest readings in decades. Even the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") stopped calling inflation "transitory" and pivoted to a restrictive monetary policy. The Fed is now singularly focused on inflation and has embarked on a new aggressive rate-hike cycle. On top of all that, a terrible war began (and continues) in Eastern Europe, which fueled rising energy prices and slowed global growth.
These issues, among other factors, have ratcheted up market volatility in both stock and bond markets. Many broad market stock indices pulled back substantially during the first half of 2022 and even entered "bear market" territory in June, which is typically considered a 20% pullback from the most recent highs. Meanwhile, fixed income investors were also dealing with elevated volatility, and wide swaths of the bond market struggled in the face of rising interest rates. For a short while, bonds were not acting as their traditional counterbalance to equities, and that further troubled investors.
Just as quickly the script flipped again as our annual reporting period was drawing to a close. Risk was back on and investors seemingly went bargain hunting in July. Most equity indexes bounced back smartly — not fully recovering losses since the beginning of the calendar year but still making sharp moves higher.
Throughout the ups and downs of the past annual reporting period, there have been interesting subplots playing out within the broader market as different investment styles and sectors took turns in leadership positions. For example, it was interesting to watch crypto assets captivate investors through the earlier part of our annual reporting period, only to see them fall out of favor as sentiment soured. Ironically, those "less-exciting" assets, such as utilities and even money market funds, have been among the better performing throughout 2022. Indeed, things really can change markedly, and if anything, this underscores the importance of diversification.
Looking at the numbers we see that the S&P 500® Index, the bell-weather proxy for our domestic stock market, had an annual total return of -4.64% for the 12-month period ended July 31, 2022. Over this same annual period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 143 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point), thanks largely to the Fed's policy shift and several aggressive rate hikes. At the end of our reporting period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury finished at 2.67%.
Given the volatile market environment of the past year, it's comforting that we can draw on our experience managing portfolios through all market environments. This
2
has taught us to remain calm in the face of turmoil. It's imperative that investors do the same, as opposed to chasing short-term trends and acting emotionally. It is our view that a long-term plan, 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.
As ever, there will be challenges ahead. The Fed has declared its intent to continue raising rates even as some elevated inflation readings begin to decline. Labor shortages, ongoing supply chain issues, elevated energy prices, and the Russia-Ukraine war are among the headwinds investors continue to navigate. There's even been some chatter about a possible recession in 2023.
Although no one can definitively predict what markets will do in the future, we can assure you that the investment professionals at all our independent franchises continually monitor the environment and work hard to position portfolios opportunistically no matter what the markets bring.

Managers' Commentary

• What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
As the world attempted to return to normal, coming out of the historic, COVID-19 government imposed lockdowns, the consequences of those lockdowns began to manifest themselves during the reporting period ended July 31, 2022. In particular, global supply chains that functioned smoothly pre-COVID were disrupted in ways that have yet to work themselves out. Generally speaking, the result was demand that rebounded faster than supply could keep up. To make matters worse, apart from the human tragedy itself, Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 added to the supply chain issues, with impacts on the price of oil, natural gas, wheat and fertilizer, to name but a few. While the general price level fell during COVID, when demand fell faster than supply, the reverse is now true. As measured by the Consumer Price Index ("CPI"), the price level fell from 2.3% in 2019 to 1.4% in 2020, but skyrocketed to 7% in 2021. During 2022, the price level has risen even further, to 8.5% as of July 31, 2022.
These events have taken their toll on the financial markets, with the S&P 500® Index down 4.64% year over year, and 12.58% year to date. The bond market did not escape the pain, either. Indeed, the past year has been one of the worst for fixed income markets for the last 50 years, if not all history. The one-year total return for the period ending July 31, 2022 for the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index was -9.12% year over year, and -8.16% year to date, worse than the S&P 500 Index year over year. These numbers are even worse than during the dollar devaluation period in the late 1970s/early 1980s.
These results were driven primarily by the significant rise in interest rates, as the bond market reacted to the dramatic increases in the price level. While the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") initially believed these price increases to be transitory, the bond market forced them to quickly abandon that thought. What was originally expected to be a gradual 25 basis points ("bps") increase in the federal funds rate morphed into rate hikes that haven't been seen since 1994. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) The Fed started hiking rates by 25 bps in March, then was forced to make additional hikes of 50 bps in May and a whopping 75 bps in June and July. Looking ahead, the bond market appears to expect another 81 bps of rate hikes by December 2022, when the federal funds rate is expected to top out at about 3.31%.
In addition to the jump in Treasury rates, bond spreads have widened out as well. Year over year, the Bloomberg Corporate Index option-adjusted spread rose from 0.85% to 1.42%, a 57 bps increase. This double whammy took its toll on the fixed income market, leaving the Bloomberg Corporate Index with a one-year negative total return of -12.61%.
The recent rise in interest rates is already beginning to dampen demand, particularly for housing, as well as automobiles. Higher gasoline and food prices are also taking their toll, forcing consumers to curtail other purchases. Although the employment situation looks decent with the unemployment rate at 3.5%, that's typically a lagging indicator, and the COVID-19 lockdowns caused havoc in the labor markets, as many businesses still cannot fill all the positions they need. As a result, the U.S. has now experienced the market-accepted definition of recession (two consecutive quarters of negative real Gross Domestic Product ("GDP")). Real GDP (which subtracts CPI from nominal GDP) decreased

-1.6% in the first quarter of 2022, and -0.9% in the second quarter of 2022. Economic activity is likely to continue to slow in the near term as the economy re-adjusts from the COVID-19 pandemic.
High-yield credit spreads widened for most of the reporting period. Credit spreads based on the Bloomberg U.S. High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index began the period at 350 bps, then tightened to 319 bps as the U.S. Economy continued to improve, however following Russia's invasion of Ukraine and continued uncertainty with respect to the Fed's ability to reduce inflation spreads widened to 605 bps and then rebounded and ended the reporting period at 500 bps. Higher-rated BB bonds saw the least spread widening, however bonds rated B (which have higher coupons and are less sensitive to rising rates) had the strongest returns for the period, followed by single BB-rated bonds and then lower-rated CCC bonds.
Historically, high-yield securities tend to perform between stocks and high-quality bonds, generally with less volatility, which can potentially provide long-term investors with a significant diversification advantage. The high-yield asset class performed as expected during the reporting period outperforming the S&P 500® Index while underperforming the total return for intermediate-term U.S. Treasury.
High-yield bond default expectations continued to range well below historical averages at the end of the reporting period. According to JP Morgan, the U.S. high-yield latest-12-month default rate was 1.1% in July 2022, however such historically low default rates are not expected to last as the Fed seeks to tighten financial conditions which should see default levels rise, above the historically low levels seen in the last 12 months, albeit still below historical averages.
• How did the USAA High Income Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?
The Fund has four share classes: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, and R6 Shares. For the reporting period ended July 31, 2022, the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, and R6 Shares had total returns of -8.17%, -8.08%, -8.22%, and -7.65%, respectively. This compares to returns of -8.03% for the Bloomberg U.S. High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index (the "Index") and -7.14% for the Lipper High Yield Bond Funds Index.
• What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?
The Fund produced a negative total return during the reporting period ended July 31, 2022, and underperformed its Index. Positioning in banking, wireless, and home construction sectors detracted from the Fund's relative performance. The portfolio's relative performance was benefitted from the income generated by its holdings, and the quality of the portfolio relative to the Index.
Relative to the Index, the Fund's allocation to Off-index asset classes, such as equities, added to returns. Cash and high-yield ETFs, which are used for cash management

purposes, slightly added to performance. In particular, the Fund was helped by its investments in the retail and media sectors.
From the outset period, we increased our holdings in higher-rated credits and added some exposure to floating rate bank loans as the lowest-rated credits tightened to unusually low spreads. Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine and continued spread widening which centered around investors fear of a pending recession, we incrementally added risk to the portfolio. We also decreased our large overweight to metals and mining due to continued strong performance in the sector.
We continued to build the portfolio bond by bond, looking for relative value opportunities within the high-yield bond market while continuing to maintain a diversified, liquid portfolio. We seek ideas where our fundamental understanding of the credit risk is different than that of the market, working with our team of analysts to evaluate each potential investment individually, rather than on the basis of thematic trends. Our analysts continued to analyze and monitor every holding in the portfolio.
Thank you for allowing us to assist you with your investment needs.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements July 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 High Income Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers four classes of shares: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, and R6 Shares. The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.,
Each class of shares of the Fund has substantially identical rights and privileges, except with respect to sales charges, fees paid under distribution plans, expenses allocable exclusively to each class of shares, voting rights on matters solely affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange privilege of each class of shares.
Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with 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.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 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.
Debt securities are valued each business day by a pricing service approved by the Board. The approved pricing service uses the evaluated bid or the last sale price to value securities. Debt obligations maturing within 60 days may be valued at amortized cost, provided that the amortized cost represents the fair value of such securities. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
In the event that price quotations or valuations are not readily available, investments are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Board. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, based on the observability of inputs used to determine the fair value. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, and the actual price realized from the sale of a security may differ materially from the fair value price. Valuing these securities at fair value is intended to cause the Fund's NAV to be more reliable than it otherwise would be.
A summary of the valuations as of July 31, 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):

Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"):
The Fund may invest in REITs, which report information on the source of their distributions annually. REITs are pooled investment vehicles that invest primarily in income producing real estate or real estate related loans or interests (such as mortgages). Certain distributions received from REITs during the year are recorded as realized gains or return of capital as estimated by the Fund or when such information becomes known.

Investment Companies:
Exchange-Traded Funds:
The Fund may invest in ETFs, the shares of which are bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and represents a fixed portfolio of securities often designed to track the performance and dividend yield of a particular domestic or foreign market index. The Fund may purchase shares of an ETF to temporarily gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market while awaiting purchase of underlying securities. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities 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.
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.
Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities:
The values of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Fund to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The values of mortgage- and asset-backed securities depend in part on the credit quality and adequacy of the underlying assets or collateral and may fluctuate in response to the market's perception of these factors as well as current and future repayment rates. Some mortgage-backed securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government (e.g., mortgage-backed securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association, commonly known as "Ginnie Mae"), while other mortgage-backed securities (e.g., mortgage-backed securities issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, commonly known as "Fannie Mae" and "Freddie Mac," respectively), are backed only by the credit of the government entity issuing them. In addition, some mortgage-backed securities are issued by private entities and, as such, are not guaranteed by the U.S. government or any agency or instrumentality of the U.S. government.
34
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
Leveraged Loans:
The Fund may invest in leveraged loans, a type of bank loan. Leveraged loans are adjustable-rate bank loans made to companies rated below investment grade. The interest rates on leveraged loans are reset periodically based upon the fluctuations of a base interest rate such as London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and a "spread" above that base interest rate that represents a risk premium to the lending banks and/or other participating investors. Many bank loans bear an adjustable rate of interest; however, leveraged loans provide for a greater "spread" over the base interest rate than other bank loans because they are considered to represent a greater credit risk. Because they are perceived to represent a greater credit risk, leveraged loans possess certain attributes that are similar to high-yield securities. However, because they are often secured by collateral of the borrower, leveraged loans possess certain attributes that are similar to other bank loans.
Below-Investment-Grade Securities:
The Fund invests in below-investment-grade securities (i.e., lower-quality, "junk" debt), which are subject to various risks. Lower-quality debt is considered to be speculative because it is less certain that the issuer will be able to pay interest or repay the principal than in the case of investment-grade debt. These securities can involve a substantially greater risk of default than higher-rated securities, and their values can decline significantly over short periods of time. Lower-quality debt securities tend to be more sensitive to adverse news about their issuers, the market and the economy in general, than higher-quality debt securities. The market for these securities can be less liquid, especially during periods of recession or general market decline.
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 Fund did not hold futures contracts as of July 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
35
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis. Paydown gains or losses on applicable securities, if any, are recorded as components of Interest income on the Statement of Operations.
The Fund may receive other income from investments in loan assignments and/or unfunded commitments, including amendment fees, consent fees, and commitment fees. These fees are recorded as income when received. These amounts, if received, are included in Interest income on the Statement of Operations.
Withholding taxes on interest, dividends, and gains as a result of certain investments 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.
The following table (amounts in thousands) is a summary of the Fund's securities lending transactions as of July 31, 2022.
Value of Securities on Loan | Non-Cash Collateral | Cash Collateral | |||||||||
$ | 44,428 | $ | — | $ | 45,614 |
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 July 31.
For the year ended July 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.
36
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
Management of the Fund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax years, which includes the current fiscal tax year end). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
Allocations:
Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund, while expenses that are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust, or jointly with an affiliated trust, are allocated among the respective funds in the Trust and/or an affiliated trust based upon net assets or another appropriate basis.
Income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses such as transfer agent fees, state registration fees, printing fees, and 12b-1 fees), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets on the date income is earned or expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred.
Cross-Trade Transactions:
Pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act, the Fund may engage in cross-trades, which are securities transactions with affiliated investment companies and advisory accounts managed by the Adviser and any applicable sub-adviser. Any such purchase or sale transaction must be effected without brokerage commission or other remuneration, except for customary transfer fees. The transaction must be effected at the current market price, which is either the security's last sale price on an exchange or, if there are no transactions in the security that day, at the average of the highest bid and lowest asked price. For the year ended July 31, 2022, the Fund engaged in the following securities transactions with affiliated funds, which resulted in the following net realized gains (losses) (amounts in thousands):

5. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties:
Investment Advisory Fees:
Investment advisory services are provided to the Fund by the Adviser, which is a New York corporation registered as an investment adviser with the SEC. The Adviser is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Victory Capital Holdings, Inc., a publicly traded Delaware corporation, and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Victory Capital Operating, LLC.
Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive a base fee and a performance adjustment. The Fund's base fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the year ended July 31, 2022, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Investment advisory fees.
The performance adjustment for each share class is accrued daily and calculated monthly by comparing the respective class' performance to that of the Lipper High Yield Bond Funds Index. The Lipper High Yield Bond Funds Index tracks the total return performance of the largest funds within the Lipper High Yield Bond Funds category.
The performance period for each share class consists of the current month plus the previous 35 months. 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 High Yield Bond Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
For the period August 1, 2021, to July 31, 2022, performance adjustments were $(540), $(373), $(4), and $(2) for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, and R6 Shares, in thousands, respectively. Performance adjustments were (0.06)%, (0.09)%, (0.17)%, and (0.43)% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, and R6 Shares, respectively. The performance adjustment rate included in the investment advisory fee may differ from the maximum over/under Annual Adjustment Rate due to differences in average net assets for the reporting period and rolling 36 month performance periods.
The Trust relies on an exemptive order granted to VCM and its affiliated funds by the SEC in March 2019, permitting the use of a "manager-of-managers" structure for certain funds. Under a manager-of-managers structure, the investment adviser may select (with approval of the Board and without shareholder approval) one or more subadvisers to manage the day-to-day investment of a fund's assets. For the year ended July 31, 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%, 0.15%, and 0.05%, which is based on the Fund's average daily net assets of the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, and R6 Shares,
38
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
respectively. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 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 July 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 July 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, Class A, and R6 Shares, are paid monthly based on a fee accrued daily at an annualized rate of 0.10% 0.10%, and 0.01%, respectively, of average daily net assets, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the year ended July 31, 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 July 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 July 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 July 31, 2022, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Custodian fees.

39
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
The Adviser has entered into an expense limitation agreement with the Fund until at least November 30, 2023. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred by certain classes of the Fund in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for such classes of the Fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. 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 July 31, 2022, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 0.83%, 0.73%, 1.00%, and 0.65% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, and R6 Shares, respectively.
Under the terms of the expense limitation agreement, as amended June 29, 2022, 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 limit in effect at the time of: (a) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (b) the recoupment, after giving effect to the recoupment amount.
As of July 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 July 31, 2022.
Expires 2023 | Expires 2024 | Expires 2025 | Total | ||||||||||||
$ | 69 | $ | 114 | $ | 95 | $ | 278 |
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 is not available to be recouped at a future time. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the year ended July 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.
6. Risks:
The Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
Debt Securities Risk — The value of a debt security or other income-producing security changes in response to various factors including, for example, market-related factors (such as changes in interest rates or changes in the risk appetite of investors generally) and changes in the actual or perceived ability of the issuer (or of issuers generally) to meet its (or their) obligations.
Other factors that may affect the value of debt securities include, among others, public health crises and responses by governments and companies to such crises. These and other events may affect the creditworthiness of the issuer of a debt security and may impair an issuer's ability to timely meet its debt obligations as they come due.
Credit Risk — The fixed-income securities in the Fund's portfolio are subject to credit risk, which is the possibility that an issuer of a fixed-income security will fail to make timely interest and/or principal payments on its securities or that negative market perceptions of the issuer's ability to make such payments will cause the price of that security to decline. The Fund accepts some credit risk as a recognized means to enhance an investor's return. All fixed-income securities, varying from the highest quality to the very speculative, have some degree of credit risk.
High-Yield/Junk Bond Risk — Fixed-income securities rated below investment grade, also known as "junk" or high-yield bonds, generally entail greater economic, credit, and liquidity risk than investment-grade securities. Their prices may be more volatile, especially during economic downturns, financial setbacks, or liquidity events. High-yield securities also can involve a substantially greater risk of default
40
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
than higher quality debt securities, and their values can decline significantly over short and longer periods of time.
LIBOR Discontinuation Risk — The 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. 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.
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.
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 27, 2022, with a termination date of June 26, 2023. 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.
41
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
The purpose of the Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended July 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 paid a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest on amounts borrowed. For the period from August 1, 2021, through June 27, 2022, interest was based on the one-month LIBOR plus one percent. Effective with the renewal, for the period June 28, 2022, through July 31, 2022, interest was based on the one-month SOFR plus 1.10 percent. 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 July 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 July 31, 2022, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Borrower or Lender | Amount Outstanding at July 31, 2022 | Average Borrowing* | Days Borrowing Outstanding | Average Interest Rate* | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | ||||||||||||||||||
Borrower | $ | — | $ | 29,461 | 7 | 0.62 | % | $ | 43,998 |
* Based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding for the year ended July 31, 2022.
8. Federal Income Tax Information:
The Fund intends to distribute any net investment income monthly. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively, distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
As of July 31, 2022, on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, there were no permanent book-to-tax difference reclassification adjustments.

* The difference between the book-basis and tax-basis of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, perpetual bonds adjustments, defaulted bonds, litigation fees and hybrid accruals on interest purchased.
As of July 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 High Income Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA High Income Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of July 31, 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 July 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 July 31, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian, agent banks and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from agent banks or 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 February 1, 2022, through July 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.

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.

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

Dear Shareholder,
It certainly has been an interesting — make that challenging — year for investors. If anything, our most recent annual reporting period ended July 31, 2022 reminded us of two enduring realities: 1) financial markets are dynamic and apt to change abruptly; 2) it's vitally important that we remain calm and rational whenever faced with those inevitable bouts of turmoil.
Consider what the past year has dealt us. The latter half of 2021 was largely constructive for financial markets, with record corporate earnings, ample liquidity in markets, and investors largely embracing risk assets. But as the calendar year turned, the script flipped. Almost overnight investor sentiment turned negative. There were many culprits. Inflation data was running persistently hotter than expected, with some of the highest readings in decades. Even the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") stopped calling inflation "transitory" and pivoted to a restrictive monetary policy. The Fed is now singularly focused on inflation and has embarked on a new aggressive rate-hike cycle. On top of all that, a terrible war began (and continues) in Eastern Europe, which fueled rising energy prices and slowed global growth.
These issues, among other factors, have ratcheted up market volatility in both stock and bond markets. Many broad market stock indices pulled back substantially during the first half of 2022 and even entered "bear market" territory in June, which is typically considered a 20% pullback from the most recent highs. Meanwhile, fixed income investors were also dealing with elevated volatility, and wide swaths of the bond market struggled in the face of rising interest rates. For a short while, bonds were not acting as their traditional counterbalance to equities, and that further troubled investors.
Just as quickly the script flipped again as our annual reporting period was drawing to a close. Risk was back on and investors seemingly went bargain hunting in July. Most equity indexes bounced back smartly — not fully recovering losses since the beginning of the calendar year but still making sharp moves higher.
Throughout the ups and downs of the past annual reporting period, there have been interesting subplots playing out within the broader market as different investment styles and sectors took turns in leadership positions. For example, it was interesting to watch crypto assets captivate investors through the earlier part of our annual reporting period, only to see them fall out of favor as sentiment soured. Ironically, those "less-exciting" assets, such as utilities and even money market funds, have been among the better performing throughout 2022. Indeed, things really can change markedly, and if anything, this underscores the importance of diversification.
Looking at the numbers we see that the S&P 500® Index, the bell-weather proxy for our domestic stock market, had an annual total return of -4.64% for the 12-month period ended July 31, 2022. Over this same annual period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 143 basis points (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point), thanks largely to the Fed's policy shift and several aggressive rate hikes. At the end of our reporting period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury finished at 2.67%.
Given the volatile market environment of the past year, it's comforting that we can draw on our experience managing portfolios through all market environments. This
2
has taught us to remain calm in the face of turmoil. It's imperative that investors do the same, as opposed to chasing short-term trends and acting emotionally. It is our view that a long-term plan, 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.
As ever, there will be challenges ahead. The Fed has declared its intent to continue raising rates even as some elevated inflation readings begin to decline. Labor shortages, ongoing supply chain issues, elevated energy prices, and the Russia-Ukraine war are among the headwinds investors continue to navigate. There's even been some chatter about a possible recession in 2023.
Although no one can definitively predict what markets will do in the future, we can assure you that the investment professionals at all our independent franchises continually monitor the environment and work hard to position portfolios opportunistically no matter what the markets bring.

Managers' Commentary
(Unaudited)
• What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
Throughout much of the 12-month reporting period ending July 31, 2022, the target federal funds ("fed funds") rate was held at a range of between 0.00% and 0.25%. Officials at the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") set the short-term rate to these low levels in order to support the U.S. economy during the country's battle with COVID-19. During March 2022 however, officials at 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. Officials at the Fed then increased the target range again in May 2022, June 2022, and July 2022. At the end of the reporting period on July 31, 2022, the target range for fed funds was between 2.25% and 2.50%. These increases in the fed funds rate reflect the Fed's desire to control inflation, particularly as the pandemic has subsided. Additional increases are expected later this year.
As a result of the Fed's interest rate target of zero during most of the reporting period, short-term interest rates remained extremely low. This resulted in extremely low yields on U.S. Treasury bills, repurchase agreements and short-term notes. However, as the Fed has increased the fed funds rate, short-term interest rates have also moved higher and are now substantially above zero. We would expect this trend to continue as the Fed continues to increase the fed funds rate.
• How did the USAA Money Market Fund (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?
For the reporting period ended July 31, 2022, the Fund had a return of 0.24%, compared to an average return of 0.21% for the funds in the Lipper Money Market Funds category.
• What strategies did you employ during the period?
During the reporting period ending July 31, 2022, we continued to invest in commercial paper, fixed- and floating-rate Yankee CDs, Treasury securities, and corporate notes. We increased the Fund's investments in floating-rate Yankee CDs as interest rates moved higher while maintaining our exposure to variable rate demand notes ("VRDNs"). The VRDNs owned by the Fund give us flexibility because they can be sold at par (100% of face value) upon notice of seven days or less and the rates reset frequently. Furthermore, we have been keeping portfolio maturities reasonably short in order to take advantage of rising short term interest rates. As always, we relied on our team of analysts to help us identify securities that we believe represented relative value. These specialists also continue to analyze and monitor every holding in the portfolio
Thank you for allowing us to assist in your investment needs.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements July 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 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)
16
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 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.
Repurchase agreements are valued at cost.
All securities held in the Fund are short-term debt securities, which are valued pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This method values a security at its purchase price, and thereafter, assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any premiums or discounts. Securities for which amortized cost valuations are considered unreliable or whose values have been materially affected by a significant event are valued in good faith, at fair value, using methods determined by the Committee, under procedures to stabilize net assets and valuation procedures approved by the Board.
Repurchase Agreements:
The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with commercial banks or recognized security dealers pursuant to the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement. A repurchase agreement is an arrangement wherein the Fund purchases securities and the seller agrees to repurchase the securities at an agreed upon time and at an agreed upon price. The purchased securities are marked-to-market daily to ensure their value is equal to at least 102% of principal including accrued interest and are held by the Fund, either through its regular custodian or through a special "tri-party" custodian that maintains separate accounts for both the Fund and its counterparty, until maturity of the repurchase agreement. Master Repurchase Agreements typically contain netting provisions, which provide for the net settlement of all transactions and collateral with the Fund through a single payment in the event of default or termination. Repurchase agreements are subject to credit risk, and the Fund's Adviser monitors the creditworthiness of sellers with which the Fund may enter into repurchase agreements.
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 July 31.
For the year ended July 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 the year ended July 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) | |||||||||
$ | 35,000 | $ | 53,500 | $ | — |
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 Custodian fees.
3. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties:
Investment Advisory Fees:
Investment advisory services are provided to the Fund by the Adviser, which is a New York corporation registered as an investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Adviser is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Victory Capital Holdings, Inc., a publicly traded Delaware corporation, and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Victory Capital Operating, LLC.
The Fund's Investment Adviser fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.24% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the year ended July 31, 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 July 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. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 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
18
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
specifically allocated to the Fund. Amounts incurred for the year ended July 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 July 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's fees for the Fund are paid monthly based on a fee accrued daily at an annualized rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets, plus out-of-pocket expenses. VCTA pays a portion of these fees to certain intermediaries for the administration and servicing of accounts that are held with such intermediaries. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the year ended July 31, 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 July 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 November 30, 2023. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse certain expenses to the extent that ordinary operating expenses incurred in any fiscal year exceed the expense limit for the fund. Such excess amounts will be the liability of the Adviser. Acquired fund fees and expenses, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures, which are capitalized in accordance with GAAP, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund's business are excluded from the expense limits. As of July 31, 2022, the expense limit (excluding voluntary waivers) was 0.62%.
Under the terms of the expense limitation agreement, as amended June 29, 2022, 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 limit in effect at the time of: (a) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (b) the recoupment, after giving effect to the recoupment amount.
In addition, the Adviser agreed to further reimburse fees in excess of the Fund's expense limit of 0.62%. These voluntary reductions, to the extent necessary, are to maintain a certain minimum net yield of the Fund. Under this agreement to reimburse additional fees, the Fund has agreed to repay fees and expenses that were waived or reimbursed by the Adviser for a period of up to three years after the
19
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
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 July 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 July 31, 2022.

$ | 1,305 | $ | 8,192 | $ | 5,162 | $ | 14,659 |
Certain officers and/or interested trustees of the Fund are also officers and/ or employees of the Adviser, administrator, fund accountant, sub-administrator, sub-fund accountant, custodian, and Distributor.
4. Risks:
The Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
Stable Net Asset Value Risk — You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. The Fund may impose a fee upon the sale of your shares or may temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares if the Fund's liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") or any other government agency. The Fund's sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the Fund at any time.
Liquidity Fees and Gates — The Fund may impose liquidity fees on redemptions and/or temporarily suspend redemptions (gates) if the Fund's weekly liquid assets fall below certain thresholds, such as during times of market stress. The imposition of a liquidity fee would reduce the amount you would receive upon redemption of your shares of the Fund. The imposition of a redemption gate would temporarily delay your ability to redeem your investments in the Fund.
Credit Risk — Credit risk is expected to be low for the Fund because it invests primarily in securities that are considered to be of high quality. However, there is the possibility that an issuer will fail to make timely interest and principal payments on its securities or that negative perceptions of the issuer's ability to make such payments will cause the price of that security to decline.
LIBOR Discontinuation Risk — 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. 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
20
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
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.
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 27, 2022, with a termination date of June 26, 2023. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex may borrow up to $600 million, of which $300 million is committed and $300 million is uncommitted. $40 million of the Line of Credit is reserved for use by the Victory Floating Rate Fund, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with Victory Floating Rate Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended July 31, 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 paid a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest on amounts borrowed. For the period from August 1, 2021, through June 27, 2022, interest was based on the one-month LIBOR plus one percent. Effective with the renewal, for the period June 28, 2022, through July 31, 2022, interest was based on the one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 1.10 percent. 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 July 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.,
21
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | Notes to Financial Statements — continued July 31, 2022 |
wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
As of July 31, 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 Money Market Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of USAA Money Market Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of July 31, 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 July 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 July 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 February 1, 2022, through July 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 2/1/22 | Actual Ending Account Value 7/31/22 | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 7/31/22 | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 2/1/22-7/31/22* | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 2/1/22-7/31/22* | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 2/1/22-7/31/22 | ||||||||||||||||||
$ | 1,000.00 | $ | 1,002.40 | $ | 1,022.12 | $ | 2.68 | $ | 2.71 | 0.54 | % |
* Expenses are equal to the average account value multiplied by the Fund's annualized expense ratio multiplied by 181/365 (the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year).
