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

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
1. Organization:
USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 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 Cornerstone Moderately Conservative Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.
Victory Capital Management ("VCM" or 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 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 (unadjusted) in active markets for identical securities
• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, or credit spreads, applicable to those securities, etc.)
• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser's 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.
The Adviser, acting as the valuation designee 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"), and American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), are valued at the closing price on the exchange or system
14
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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, including underlying funds, 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 November 30, 2022, based upon the three levels defined above, is included in the table below while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments (amounts in thousands):
| | Level 1 | | Level 2 | | Level 3 | | Total | |

* Futures contracts are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the investment.
For the six months ended November 30, 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.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |

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.
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.
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
16
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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 and Collateral received from broker for futures contracts.
Management has determined that no offsetting requirements exist as a result of their conclusion that the Fund is not subject to master netting agreements for futures contracts. During the six months ended November 30, 2022, the Fund entered into futures contracts primarily for the strategy of gaining exposure to a particular asset class or securities market.
Summary of Derivative Instruments:
The following table summarizes the fair values of derivative instruments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, categorized by risk exposure, as of November 30, 2022 (amounts in thousands):
| | Assets | | Liabilities | |
| | Variation Margin Receivable on Open Futures Contracts* | | Variation Margin Payable on Open Futures Contracts* | |
Equity Risk Exposure | | $ | 391 | | | $ | 272 | | |
* Includes cumulative unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of futures contracts as reported on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments. Only current day's variation margin for futures contracts is reported within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The following table presents the effect of derivative instruments on the Statement of Operations, categorized by risk exposure, for the six months ended November 30, 2022 (amounts in thousands):
| | Net Realized Gains (Losses) on Derivatives Recognized as a Result of Operations | | Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation/Depreciation on Derivatives Recognized as a Result of Operations | |
| | Net Realized Gains (Losses) from Futures Contracts | | Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation/Depreciation on Futures Contracts | |
Equity Risk Exposure | | $ | 42 | | | $ | 288 | | |
All open derivative positions at period end are reflected on the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The underlying face value of open derivative positions relative to the Fund's net assets at period end is generally representative of the notional amount of open positions to net assets throughout the period.
Investment Transactions and Related Income:
Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date or the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis. Paydown gains or losses on applicable securities, if any, are recorded as components of Interest income on the Statement of Operations.
17
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
Withholding taxes on interest, dividends, and gains as a result of certain investments in ADRs by the Fund have been provided for in accordance with each investment's applicable country's tax rules and rates.
Securities Lending:
The Fund, through a Securities Lending Agreement with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), may lend its securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers 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 November 30, 2022.
Value of Securities on Loan | | Non-Cash Collateral | | Cash Collateral | |
$ | 6,219 | (a) | | $ | — | | | $ | 6,260 | | |
(a) Includes $147 thousand of securities on loan that were sold prior to November 30, 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 unaffiliated 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 unaffiliated investment securities and foreign currency transactions on the Statement of Operations.
18
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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 May 31.
For the six months ended November 30, 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 under specified conditions outlined in the valuation policies and procedures adopted by the Board. In addition, as defined under the valuation policies and procedures, each transaction must be effected at the independent current market price. For the six months ended November 30, 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) | |
$ | — | | | $ | 535 | | | $ | (80 | ) | |
3. Purchases and Sales:

4. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties:
Investment Advisory Fees:
Investment advisory services are provided to the Fund by the Adviser, which is a New York corporation registered as an investment adviser with the SEC.
Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive fees accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the six months ended November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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%, which is based on the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred for the six months ended November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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 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. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the six months ended November 30, 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.

5. Risks:
The Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
Tactical Allocation Risk — The Fund has a targeted risk tolerance and a corresponding asset allocation target; however, mere asset allocation and volatility are not the sole determination of risk. The Fund's managers will tactically allocate away from the target allocation as market conditions and the perceived risks warrant. The Fund bears the risk that the managers' tactical allocation will not be successful.
Affiliated Funds Risk — The risks of the Fund directly correspond to the risks of the underlying affiliated funds in which the Fund invests. By investing in the underlying affiliated funds, the Fund has exposure to the risk of many different areas of the market. The degree to which the risks described below apply to the Fund varies according to the Fund's asset allocation. For instance, the more the Fund is allocated to stock funds, the greater the risk associated with equity securities. The Fund also is subject to asset allocation risk (i.e., the risk that allocations will not produce the intended results) and to management risk (i.e., the risk that the selection of underlying affiliated funds will not produce the intended results).
Conflict of Interest Risk — In managing a Fund that invests in underlying affiliated funds, the Adviser may have conflicts of interest in allocating the Fund's assets among the various underlying affiliated funds. This is because the fees payable by some of the underlying affiliated funds to the Adviser and/or its affiliates are higher than the fees payable by other underlying affiliated funds, and because the Adviser also manages and administers the underlying affiliated funds.
ETF Risk — The Fund may invest in shares of ETFs, which generally are registered investment companies that hold a portfolio of common stocks or debt securities, the shares of which are traded on an exchange. ETFs incur their own management and other fees and expenses, such as trustees' fees, operating expenses, registration fees, and marketing expenses, a proportionate share of which will be borne indirectly by the Fund as a shareholder in an ETF. As a result, the Fund's investment in an ETF will cause the Fund to indirectly bear the fees and expenses of the ETF and, in turn, the Fund's performance may be lower than if the Fund were to invest directly in the underlying securities held by the ETF. For investments in affiliated ETFs, the Fund's management fee is reimbursed by the Adviser to the extent of the indirect management fee incurred through the Fund's investment in the affiliated ETFs. The Adviser may have conflicts of interest in allocating assets among affiliated and unaffiliated ETFs, because the Adviser also manages and administers the affiliated ETFs, and the Adviser and its affiliates receive other fees from the affiliated ETFs. In addition, the Fund also will be subject to the risks associated with the securities or other investments held by the ETFs.
Market Risk — Overall market risks may affect the value of the Fund. Domestic and international factors such as political events, war, terrorism, trade disputes, inflation rates, interest rate levels and other fiscal and monetary policy changes, cybersecurity incidents, pandemics and other public health crises, sanctions against a particular foreign country, its nationals, businesses or industries and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods, or other catastrophes, may add to instability in global economies and markets generally, and may lead to increased market volatility. Global economies and financial markets are highly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region might adversely affect issuers in another country or region. The impact of these and other factors may be short-term or may last for extended periods.
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.
22
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
The purpose of the Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the six months ended November 30, 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 June 1, 2022, 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 November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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 for six months ended November 30, 2022, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Borrower or Lender | | Amount Outstanding at November 30, 2022 | | Average Borrowing* | | Days Borrowing Outstanding | | Average Interest Rate* | | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | |
Borrower | | $ | — | | | $ | 992 | | | | 4 | | | | 2.86 | % | | $ | 992 | | |
* For the six months ended November 30, 2022, based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding.
7. Federal Income Tax Information:
The Fund intends to distribute any net investment income quarterly. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively, distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (loss) will be determined at the end of the current tax year.
At the tax year ended May 31, 2022, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.

8. Affiliated Securities:
An affiliated security is a security in which the Fund has ownership of at least 5% of the security's outstanding voting shares, an investment company managed by VCM, or an issuer under common control with a Fund or VCM. The Fund does not invest in affiliated securities for the purpose of exercising management or control. These securities are noted as affiliated on the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The financial statements of the underlying funds can be found in shareholder reports filed with the SEC by each such underlying fund semi-annually on Form N-CSR and are available for download from both the SEC's as well as each respective underlying fund's website. Transactions in affiliated securities during the six months ended November 30, 2022, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | Fair Value 5/31/2022 | | Purchases at Cost | | Proceeds from Sales | | Realized Gains (Losses) | | Capital Gain Distribution | | Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation/ Depreciation | | Fair Value 11/30/2022 | | Dividend Income | |

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information
Proxy Voting:
Information regarding the policies and procedures the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling (800) 235-8396. The information is also included in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Information relating to how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent 12 months ended June 30 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments:
The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. Form N-PORT is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from June 1, 2022, through November 30, 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 6/1/22 | | Actual Ending Account Value 11/30/22 | | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 11/30/22 | | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 6/1/22-11/30/22* | | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 6/1/22-11/30/22* | | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 6/1/22-11/30/22 | |
$ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 967.00 | | | $ | 1,020.56 | | | $ | 4.44 | | | $ | 4.56 | | | | 0.90 | % | |
* Expenses are equal to the average account value multiplied by the Fund's annualized expense ratio multiplied by 183/365 (the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year).

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
1. Organization:
USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 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 Cornerstone Aggressive Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.
Victory Capital Management ("VCM" or 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 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 (unadjusted) in active markets for identical securities
• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest, or credit spreads, applicable to those securities, etc.)
• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser's 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.
The Adviser acting as the valuation designee 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"), 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
20
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |

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, including underlying funds, 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 November 30, 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.
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.
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
22
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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 and Collateral received from broker for futures contracts.
Management has determined that no offsetting requirements exist as a result of their conclusion that the Fund is not subject to master netting agreements for futures contracts. During the six months ended November 30, 2022, the Fund entered into futures contracts primarily for the strategy of gaining exposure to a particular asset class or securities market.
Summary of Derivative Instruments:
The following table summarizes the fair values of derivative instruments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, categorized by risk exposure, as of November 30, 2022 (amounts in thousands):
| | Assets | | Liabilities | |
| | Variation Margin Receivable on Open Futures Contracts* | | Variation Margin Payable on Open Futures Contracts* | |
Equity Risk Exposure | | $ | 698 | | | $ | 468 | | |
* Includes cumulative unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of futures contracts as reported on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments. Only current day's variation margin for futures contracts is reported within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The following table presents the effect of derivative instruments on the Statement of Operations, categorized by risk exposure, for the six months ended November 30, 2022 (amounts in thousands):
| | Net Realized Gains (Losses) on Derivatives Recognized as a Result of Operations | | Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation/Depreciation on Derivatives Recognized as a Result of Operations | |
| | Net Realized Gains (Losses) from Futures Contracts | | Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation/Depreciation on Futures Contracts | |
Equity Risk Exposure | | $ | 510 | | | $ | 244 | | |
All open derivative positions at period end are reflected on the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The underlying face value of open derivative positions relative to the Fund's net assets at period end is generally representative of the notional amount of open positions to net assets throughout the period.
Investment Transactions and Related Income:
Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date or the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis. Paydown gains or losses on applicable securities, if any, are recorded as components of Interest income on the Statement of Operations.
Withholding taxes on interest, dividends, and gains as a result of certain investments in ADRs by the Fund have been provided for in accordance with each investment's applicable country's tax rules and rates.

Securities Lending:
The Fund, through a Securities Lending Agreement with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), may lend its securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers and banks, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. Borrowers are required to initially secure their loans for collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non-U.S. securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls associated with increases in the valuation of the securities loaned are generally cured the next business day. The collateral can be received in the form of cash collateral and/or non-cash collateral. Non-cash collateral can include U.S. Government Securities and other securities as permitted by Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidelines. The cash collateral is invested in short-term instruments or cash equivalents, primarily open-end investment companies, as noted on the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The Fund effectively does not have control of the non-cash collateral and therefore it is not disclosed on the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. Collateral requirements are determined daily based on the value of the Fund's securities on loan as of the end of the prior business day. During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the Fund any dividends or interest paid on such securities plus any fee negotiated between the parties to the lending agreement. The Fund also earns a return from the collateral. The Fund pays Citibank various fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral and fees based on the investment income received from securities lending activities. Securities lending income (net of these fees) is disclosed on the Statement of Operations. Loans are terminable upon demand and the borrower must return the loaned securities within the lesser of one standard settlement period or five business days. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Fund could experience a delay in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them. In addition, there is a risk that the value of the short-term investments will be less than the amount of cash collateral required to be returned to the borrower.
The Fund's agreement with Citibank does not include master netting provisions. Non-cash collateral received by the Fund may not be sold or repledged, except to satisfy borrower default.
The following table (amounts in thousands) is a summary of the Fund's securities lending transactions as of November 30, 2022.
Value of Securities on Loan | | Non-Cash Collateral | | Cash Collateral | |
$ | 16,104 | (a) | | $ | — | | | $ | 16,229 | | |
(a) Includes $282 thousand of securities on loan that were sold prior to November 30, 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 unaffiliated 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 unaffiliated 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.

(Unaudited)
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 May 31.
For the six months ended November 30, 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.

25
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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.

The Adviser has entered into an expense limitation agreement with the Fund until at least September 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 limit. As of November 30, 2022, the expense limit (excluding voluntary waivers) was 01.10%.
In addition, the Fund invests in affiliated VCM exchange-traded fund(s) ("affiliated ETFs"). The Fund's advisory fee is reimbursed by VCM that to the extent of the indirect advisory fee incurred through the Fund's proportional investment in the affiliated ETFs.

5. Risks:
The Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
Tactical Allocation Risk — The Fund has a targeted risk tolerance and a corresponding asset allocation target; however, mere asset allocation and volatility are not the sole determination of risk. The Fund's managers will tactically allocate away from the target allocation as market conditions and the perceived risks warrant. The Fund bears the risk that the managers' tactical allocation will not be successful.
Affiliated Funds Risk — The risks of the Fund directly correspond to the risks of the underlying affiliated funds in which the Fund invests. By investing in the underlying affiliated funds, the Fund has exposure to the risk of many different areas of the market. The degree to which the risks described below apply to the Fund varies according to the Fund's asset allocation. For instance, the more the
27
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
Fund is allocated to stock funds, the greater the risk associated with equity securities. The Fund also is subject to asset allocation risk (i.e., the risk that allocations will not produce the intended results) and to management risk (i.e., the risk that the selection of underlying affiliated funds will not produce the intended results).
Conflict of Interest Risk — In managing a Fund that invests in underlying affiliated funds, the Adviser may have conflicts of interest in allocating the Fund's assets among the various underlying affiliated funds. This is because the fees payable by some of the underlying affiliated funds to the Adviser and/or its affiliates are higher than the fees payable by other underlying affiliated funds, and because the Adviser also manages and administers the underlying affiliated funds.
ETF Risk — The Fund may invest in shares of ETFs, which generally are registered investment companies that hold a portfolio of common stocks or debt securities, the shares of which are traded on an exchange. ETFs incur their own management and other fees and expenses, such as trustees' fees, operating expenses, registration fees, and marketing expenses, a proportionate share of which will be borne indirectly by the Fund as a shareholder in an ETF. As a result, the Fund's investment in an ETF will cause the Fund to indirectly bear the fees and expenses of the ETF and, in turn, the Fund's performance may be lower than if the Fund were to invest directly in the underlying securities held by the ETF. For investments in affiliated ETFs, the Fund's management fee is reimbursed by the Adviser to the extent of the indirect management fee incurred through the Fund's investment in the affiliated ETFs. The Adviser may have conflicts of interest in allocating assets among affiliated and unaffiliated ETFs, because the Adviser also manages and administers the affiliated ETFs, and the Adviser and its affiliates receive other fees from the affiliated ETFs. In addition, the Fund also will be subject to the risks associated with the securities or other investments held by the ETFs.
Market Risk — Overall market risks may affect the value of the Fund. Domestic and international factors such as political events, war, terrorism, trade disputes, inflation rates, interest rate levels and other fiscal and monetary policy changes, cybersecurity incidents, pandemics and other public health crises, sanctions against a particular foreign country, its nationals, businesses or industries and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods, or other catastrophes, may add to instability in global economies and markets generally, and may lead to increased market volatility. Global economies and financial markets are highly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region might adversely affect issuers in another country or region. The impact of these and other factors may be short-term or may last for extended periods.
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 six months ended November 30, 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 June 1, 2022, 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 November 30, 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.
28
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
The Fund had no borrowings under the Line of Credit agreement during the six months ended November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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.
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (loss) will be determined at the end of the current tax year.
At the tax year ended May 31, 2022, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.
8. Affiliated Securities:
An affiliated security is a security in which the Fund has ownership of at least 5% of the security's outstanding voting shares, an investment company managed by VCM, or an issuer under common control with a Fund or VCM. The Fund does not invest in affiliated securities for the purpose of exercising management or control. These securities are noted as affiliated on the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The financial statements of the underlying funds can be found in shareholder reports filed with the SEC by each such underlying fund semi-annually on Form N-CSR and are available for

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information
Proxy Voting:
Information regarding the policies and procedures the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling (800) 235-8396. The information is also included in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Information relating to how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent 12 months ended June 30 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments:
The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. Form N-PORT is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from June 1, 2022, through November 30, 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 6/1/22 | | Actual Ending Account Value 11/30/22 | | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 11/30/22 | | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 6/1/22-11/30/22* | | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 6/1/22-11/30/22* | | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 6/1/22-11/30/22 | |
$ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 983.00 | | | $ | 1,019.55 | | | $ | 5.47 | | | $ | 5.57 | | | | 1.10 | % | |
* Expenses are equal to the average account value multiplied by the Fund's annualized expense ratio multiplied by 183/365 (the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year).

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

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
1. Organization:
USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 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 Cornerstone Conservative Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act. The Fund is a "fund of funds" in that it invests in a selection of affiliated mutual funds and exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") managed by the Fund's Adviser, Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or the "Adviser"), an affiliate of the Fund. 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 may rely on various exemptions contained in the 1940 Act and in exemptive rules or orders thereunder issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") that permit funds, subject to certain conditions, to invest in one or more ETFs and certain other types of investment companies in amounts that exceed limits set forth in the 1940 Act that would otherwise be applicable.
Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the 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 (unadjusted) in active markets for identical securities
• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, or credit spreads, applicable to those securities, etc.)
• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser's 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.
The Adviser, acting as the valuation designee has established the Pricing and Liquidity Committee (the "Committee"), and subject to the Trust's Board of Trustees' (the "Board") oversight, the Committee
10
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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 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 the underlying affiliated Funds and other open-end investment companies, other than ETFs, are valued at their net asset value ("NAV") at the end of each business day. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
The underlying affiliated Funds have specific valuation procedures. In the event that price quotations or valuations are not readily available, are not reflective of market value, or a significant event has been recognized in relation to a security or class of securities, the securities are valued in good faith by the Committee in accordance with valuation procedures approved by the Board. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and the actual price realized from the sale of a security may differ materially from the fair value price. Valuing these securities at fair value is intended to cause the Fund's NAV to be more reliable than it otherwise would be.
A summary of the valuations as of November 30, 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 | |
Affiliated Exchange-Traded Funds | | $ | 62,030 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 62,030 | | |
Affiliated Mutual Funds | | | 148,077 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | 148,077 | | |
Total | | $ | 210,107 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 210,107 | | |
For the six months ended November 30, 2022, there were no transfers into/out of Level 3.
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.
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
11
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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.
As of November 30, 2022, the Fund did not have any securities on loan.
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 May 31.
For the six months ended November 30, 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.

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 does not receive any fees from the Fund for these services.
The Trust relies on an exemptive order granted to VCM and its affiliated funds by the SEC in March 2019, permitting the use of a "manager-of-managers" structure for certain funds. Under a manager-of-managers structure, the investment adviser may select (with approval of the Board and without shareholder approval) one or more subadvisers to manage the day-to-day investment of a fund's assets. For the six months ended November 30, 2022, the Fund had no subadvisers.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM serves as the Fund's administrator and fund accountant. Under the Fund Administration, Servicing and Accounting Agreement, VCM does not receive any fees from the Fund for these services.
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 six months ended November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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 does not receive any fees from the Fund for these services.
FIS Investor Services LLC serves as sub-transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agent Agreement between VCTA and FIS Investor Services LLC. VCTA provides FIS Investor Services LLC a fee for providing these services.
Distributor/Underwriting Services:
Victory Capital Services, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as Distributor for the continuous offering of the shares of the Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement between the Distributor and the Trust and receives no fee or other compensation for these services.

Other Fees:
Citibank serves as the Fund's custodian. The Fund pays Citibank a fee for providing these services. Amounts incurred for the six months ended November 30, 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 September 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 limit. As of November 30, 2022, the expense limit (excluding voluntary waivers) was 0.10%.
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 November 30, 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 November 30, 2022.
Expires 2026 | | Total | |
$ | 20 | | | $ | 20 | | |
The Adviser may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Fund in maintaining competitive expense ratios. Voluntary waivers and reimbursements applicable to the Fund are not available to be recouped at a future time. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the six months ended November 30, 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.
Tactical Allocation Risk — The Fund has a targeted risk tolerance and a corresponding asset allocation target; however, mere asset allocation and volatility are not the sole determination of risk. The Fund's managers will tactically allocate away from the target allocation as market conditions and the perceived risks warrant. The Fund bears the risk that the managers' tactical allocation will not be successful.
Affiliated Funds Risk — The risks of the Fund directly correspond to the risks of the underlying affiliated funds in which the Fund invests. By investing in the underlying affiliated funds, the Fund has exposure to the risk of many different areas of the market. The degree to which the risks described below apply to the Fund varies according to the Fund's asset allocation. For instance, the more the Fund is allocated to stock funds, the greater the risk associated with equity securities. The Fund also is subject to asset allocation risk (i.e., the risk that allocations will not produce the intended results) and to management risk (i.e., the risk that the selection of underlying affiliated funds will not produce the intended results).
Conflict of Interest Risk — In managing a Fund that invests in underlying affiliated funds, the Adviser may have conflicts of interest in allocating the Fund's assets among the various underlying affiliated funds. This is because the fees payable by some of the underlying affiliated funds to the Adviser and/or its affiliates are higher than the fees payable by other underlying affiliated funds, and because the Adviser also manages and administers the underlying affiliated funds.
14
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
ETF Risk — The Fund may invest in shares of ETFs, which generally are registered investment companies that hold a portfolio of common stocks or debt securities, the shares of which are traded on an exchange. ETFs incur their own management and other fees and expenses, such as trustees' fees operating expenses, registration fees, and marketing expenses, a proportionate share of which would be indirectly borne by the Fund. As a result, an investment by the Fund in an ETF will cause the Fund to indirectly bear the fees and expenses of the ETF and, in turn, performance may be lower than if the Fund were to invest directly in the securities underlying the ETF. In addition, the Fund will be indirectly exposed to all of the risk of securities held by the ETFs.
Market Risk — Overall market risks may affect the value of the Fund. Domestic and international factors such as political events, war, terrorism, trade disputes, inflation rates, interest rate levels and other fiscal and monetary policy changes, cybersecurity incidents, pandemics and other public health crises, sanctions against a particular foreign country, its nationals, businesses or industries and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods, or other catastrophes, may add to instability in global economies and markets generally, and may lead to increased market volatility. Global economies and financial markets are highly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region might adversely affect issuers in another country or region. The impact of these and other factors may be short-term or may last for extended periods.
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 six months ended November 30, 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 June 1, 2022, 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 November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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.

7. Federal Income Tax Information:
The Fund intends to distribute any net investment income quarterly. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively, distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (loss) will be determined at the end of the current tax year.
At the tax year ended May 31, 2022, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.
8. Affiliated Securities:
An affiliated security is a security in which the Fund has ownership of at least 5% of the security's outstanding voting shares, an investment company managed by VCM, or an issuer under common control with a Fund or VCM. The Fund does not invest in affiliated securities for the purpose of exercising management or control. These securities are noted as affiliated on the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The financial statements of the underlying funds can be found in shareholder reports filed with the SEC by each such underlying fund semi-annually on Form N-CSR and are available for download from both the SEC's as well as each respective underlying fund's website. Transactions in affiliated securities during the six months ended November 30, 2022, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information
Proxy Voting:
Information regarding the policies and procedures the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling (800) 235-8396. The information is also included in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Information relating to how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent 12 months ended June 30 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments:
The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. Form N-PORT is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from June 1, 2022, through November 30, 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 6/1/22 | | Actual Ending Account Value 11/30/22 | | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 11/30/22 | | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 6/1/22-11/30/22* | | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 6/1/22-11/30/22* | | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 6/1/22-11/30/22 | |
$ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 972.90 | | | $ | 1,024.57 | | | $ | 0.49 | | | $ | 0.51 | | | | 0.10 | % | |
* Expenses are equal to the average account value multiplied by the Fund's annualized expense ratio multiplied by 183/365 (the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year).

Privacy Policy
Protecting the Privacy of Information
The Trust respects your right to privacy. We also know that you expect us to conduct and process your business in an accurate and efficient manner. To do so, we must collect and maintain certain personal information about you. This is the information we collect from you on applications or other forms, and from the transactions you make with us or third parties. It may include your name, address, social security number, account transactions and balances, and information about investment goals and risk tolerance.
We do not disclose any information about you or about former customers to anyone except as permitted or required by law. Specifically, we may disclose the information we collect to companies that perform services on our behalf, such as the transfer agent that processes shareholder accounts and printers and mailers that assist us in the distribution of investor materials.

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

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
1. Organization:
USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 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 Cornerstone Equity Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act. The Fund is a "fund of funds" in that it invests in a selection of affiliated mutual funds and exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") managed by the Fund's Adviser, Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or the "Adviser"), an affiliate of the Fund. 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 may rely on various exemptions contained in the 1940 Act and in exemptive rules or orders thereunder issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") that permit funds, subject to certain conditions, to invest in one or more ETFs and certain other types of investment companies in amounts that exceed limits set forth in the 1940 Act that would otherwise be applicable.
Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the 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 (unadjusted) in active markets for identical securities
• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, or credit spreads, applicable to those securities, etc.)
• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser's 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.
The Adviser, acting as the valuation designee 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.
10
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
Portfolio securities listed or traded on securities exchanges, including 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 the underlying affiliated Funds and other open-end investment companies, other than ETFs, are valued at their net asset value ("NAV") at the end of each business day. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
The underlying affiliated Funds have specific valuation procedures. In the event that price quotations or valuations are not readily available, are not reflective of market value, or a significant event has been recognized in relation to a security or class of securities, the securities are valued in good faith by the Committee in accordance with valuation procedures approved by the Board. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and the actual price realized from the sale of a security may differ materially from the fair value price. Valuing these securities at fair value is intended to cause the Fund's NAV to be more reliable than it otherwise would be.
A summary of the valuations as of November 30, 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 | |
Affiliated Exchange-Traded Funds | | $ | 75,639 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 75,639 | | |
Affiliated Mutual Funds | | | 124,991 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | 124,991 | | |
Collateral for Securities Loaned | | | 763 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | 763 | | |
Total | | $ | 201,393 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 201,393 | | |
For the six months ended November 30, 2022, there were no transfers into/out of Level 3.
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.
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 November 30, 2022.
Value of Securities on Loan | | Non-Cash Collateral | | Cash Collateral | |
$ | 758 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 763 | | |
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 May 31.
For the six months ended November 30, 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.

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 does not receive any fees from the Fund for these services.
The Trust relies on an exemptive order granted to VCM and its affiliated funds by the SEC in March 2019, permitting the use of a "manager-of-managers" structure for certain funds. Under a manager-of-managers structure, the investment adviser may select (with approval of the Board and without shareholder approval) one or more subadvisers to manage the day-to-day investment of a fund's assets. For the six months ended November 30, 2022, the Fund had no subadvisers.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM serves as the Fund's administrator and fund accountant. Under the Fund Administration, Servicing and Accounting Agreement, VCM does not receive any fees from the Fund for these services.
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 six months ended November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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 does not receive any fees from the Fund for these services.

(Unaudited)
Distributor/Underwriting Services:
Victory Capital Services, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as Distributor for the continuous offering of the shares of the Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement between the Distributor and the Trust and receives no fee or other compensation for these services.
Other Fees:
Citibank serves as the Fund's custodian. The Fund pays Citibank a fee for providing these services. Amounts incurred for the six months ended November 30, 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 September 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 limit. As of November 30, 2022, the expense limit (excluding voluntary waivers) was 0.10%.
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 November 30, 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 November 30, 2022.
Expires 2026 | | Total | |
$ | 23 | | | $ | 23 | | |
The Adviser may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Fund in maintaining competitive expense ratios. Voluntary waivers and reimbursements applicable to the Fund are not available to be recouped at a future time. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the six months ended November 30, 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.
Affiliated Funds Risk — The risks of the Fund directly correspond to the risks of the underlying affiliated funds in which the Fund invests. By investing in the underlying affiliated funds, the Fund has exposure to the risk of many different areas of the market. The degree to which the risks described below apply to the Fund varies according to the Fund's asset allocation. For instance, the more the Fund is allocated to stock funds, the greater the risk associated with equity securities. The Fund also is subject to asset allocation risk (i.e., the risk that allocations will not produce the intended results) and to management risk (i.e., the risk that the selection of underlying affiliated funds will not produce the intended results).
Conflict of Interest Risk — In managing a Fund that invests in underlying affiliated funds, the Adviser may have conflicts of interest in allocating the Fund's assets among the various underlying affiliated funds. This is because the fees payable by some of the underlying affiliated funds to the Adviser and/or its affiliates are higher than the fees payable by other underlying affiliated funds, and because the Adviser also manages and administers the underlying affiliated funds.
14
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
Equity Risk — The Fund may invest in underlying affiliated funds that invest in equity securities. The value 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.
ETF Risk — The Fund may invest in shares of ETFs, which generally are registered investment companies that hold a portfolio of common stocks or debt securities, the shares of which are traded on an exchange. ETFs incur their own management and other fees and expenses, such as trustees' fees operating expenses, registration fees, and marketing expenses, a proportionate share of which would be indirectly borne by the Fund. As a result, an investment by the Fund in an ETF will cause the Fund to indirectly bear the fees and expenses of the ETF and, in turn, performance may be lower than if the Fund were to invest directly in the securities underlying the ETF. In addition, the Fund will be indirectly exposed to all of the risk of securities held by the ETFs.
Market Risk — Overall market risks may affect the value of the Fund. Domestic and international factors such as political events, war, terrorism, trade disputes, inflation rates, interest rate levels and other fiscal and monetary policy changes, cybersecurity incidents, pandemics and other public health crises, sanctions against a particular foreign country, its nationals, businesses or industries and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods, or other catastrophes, may add to instability in global economies and markets generally, and may lead to increased market volatility. Global economies and financial markets are highly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region might adversely affect issuers in another country or region. The impact of these and other factors may be short-term or may last for extended periods.
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 six months ended November 30, 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 June 1, 2022, 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 November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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
15
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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 six months ended November 30, 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.
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (loss) will be determined at the end of the current tax year.
At the tax year ended May 31, 2022, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.
8. Affiliated Securities:
An affiliated security is a security in which the Fund has ownership of at least 5% of the security's outstanding voting shares, an investment company managed by VCM, or an issuer under common control with a Fund or VCM. The Fund does not invest in affiliated securities for the purpose of exercising management or control. These securities are noted as affiliated on the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The financial statements of the underlying funds can be found in shareholder reports filed with the SEC by each such underlying fund semi-annually on Form N-CSR and are available for download from both the SEC's as well as each respective underlying fund's website. Transactions in affiliated securities during the six months ended November 30, 2022, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information
Proxy Voting:
Information regarding the policies and procedures the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling (800) 235-8396. The information is also included in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Information relating to how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent 12 months ended June 30 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments:
The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. Form N-PORT is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from June 1, 2022, through November 30, 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 6/1/22 | | Actual Ending Account Value 11/30/22 | | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 11/30/22 | | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 6/1/22-11/30/22* | | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 6/1/22-11/30/22* | | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 6/1/22-11/30/22 | |

* Expenses are equal to the average account value multiplied by the Fund's annualized expense ratio multiplied by 183/365 (the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year).

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.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
1. Organization:
USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 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 Cornerstone Moderate Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.
Victory Capital Management ("VCM" or 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 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 (unadjusted) in active markets for identical securities
• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, or credit spreads, applicable to those securities, etc.)
• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser's 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.
The Adviser, acting as the valuation designee 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"), 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
16
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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, including underlying funds, 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 November 30, 2022, based upon the three levels defined above, is included in the table below while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments (amounts in thousands):
| | Level 1 | | Level 2 | | Level 3 | | Total | |

* Futures contracts are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the investment.
For the six months ended November 30, 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.

(Unaudited)
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.
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.
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
18
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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 and Collateral received from broker for futures contracts.
Management has determined that no offsetting requirements exist as a result of their conclusion that the Fund is not subject to master netting agreements for futures contracts. During the six months ended November 30, 2022, the Fund entered into futures contracts primarily for the strategy of gaining exposure to a particular asset class or securities market.
Summary of Derivative Instruments:
The following table summarizes the fair values of derivative instruments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, categorized by risk exposure, as of November 30, 2022 (amounts in thousands):
| | Assets | | Liabilities | |
| | Variation Margin Receivable on Open Futures Contracts* | | Variation Margin Payable on Open Futures Contracts* | |
Equity Risk Exposure | | $ | 2,219 | | | $ | 1,199 | | |
* Includes cumulative unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of futures contracts as reported on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments. Only current day's variation margin for futures contracts is reported within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The following table presents the effect of derivative instruments on the Statement of Operations, categorized by risk exposure, for the six months ended November 30, 2022 (amounts in thousands):
| | Net Realized Gains (Losses) on Derivatives Recognized as a Result of Operations | | Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation/Depreciation on Derivatives Recognized as a Result of Operations | |
| | Net Realized Gains (Losses) from Futures Contracts | | Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation/Depreciation on Futures Contracts | |
Equity Risk Exposure | | $ | (12 | ) | | $ | 1,630 | | |
All open derivative positions at period end are reflected on the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The underlying face value of open derivative positions relative to the Fund's net assets at period end is generally representative of the notional amount of open positions to net assets throughout the period.
Investment Transactions and Related Income:
Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date or the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis. Paydown gains or losses on applicable securities, if any, are recorded as components of Interest income on the Statement of Operations.
Withholding taxes on interest, dividends, and gains as a result of certain investments in ADRs by the Fund have been provided for in accordance with each investment's applicable country's tax rules and rates.

Securities Lending:
The Fund, through a Securities Lending Agreement with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), may lend its securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers and banks, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. Borrowers are required to initially secure their loans for collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non-U.S. securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls associated with increases in the valuation of the securities loaned are generally cured the next business day. The collateral can be received in the form of cash collateral and/or non-cash collateral. Non-cash collateral can include U.S. Government Securities and other securities as permitted by Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidelines. The cash collateral is invested in short-term instruments or cash equivalents, primarily open-end investment companies, as noted on the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The Fund effectively does not have control of the non-cash collateral and therefore it is not disclosed on the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. Collateral requirements are determined daily based on the value of the Fund's securities on loan as of the end of the prior business day. During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the Fund any dividends or interest paid on such securities plus any fee negotiated between the parties to the lending agreement. The Fund also earns a return from the collateral. The Fund pays Citibank various fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral and fees based on the investment income received from securities lending activities. Securities lending income (net of these fees) is disclosed on the Statement of Operations. Loans are terminable upon demand and the borrower must return the loaned securities within the lesser of one standard settlement period or five business days. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Fund could experience a delay in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them. In addition, there is a risk that the value of the short-term investments will be less than the amount of cash collateral required to be returned to the borrower.
The Fund's agreement with Citibank does not include master netting provisions. Non-cash collateral received by the Fund may not be sold or repledged, except to satisfy borrower default.
The following table (amounts in thousands) is a summary of the Fund's securities lending transactions as of November 30, 2022.
Value of Securities on Loan | | Non-Cash Collateral | | Cash Collateral | |
$ | 97,776 | (a) | | $ | — | | | $ | 98,414 | | |
(a) Includes $918 thousand of securities on loan that were sold prior to November 30, 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 unaffiliated 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 unaffiliated 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.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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 May 31.
For the six months ended November 30, 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 under specified conditions outlined in the valuation policies and procedures adopted by the Board. In addition, as defined under the valuation policies and procedures, each transaction must be effected at the independent current market price. For the six months ended November 30, 2022, the Fund engaged in the following securities transactions with affiliated funds, which resulted in the following net realized gains (losses) (amounts in thousands):

(Unaudited)
The Trust relies on an exemptive order granted to VCM and its affiliated funds by the SEC in March 2019, permitting the use of a "manager-of-managers" structure for certain funds. Under a manager-of-managers structure, the investment adviser may select (with approval of the Board and without shareholder approval) one or more subadvisers to manage the day-to-day investment of a fund's assets. For the six months ended November 30, 2022, the Fund had no subadvisers.
Administration and Servicing Fees:
VCM also serves as the Fund's administrator and fund accountant.

Amounts incurred for the six months ended November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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 based on an annual charge of $23 per shareholder account plus out-of-pocket expenses.

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
22
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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 November 30, 2022, the expense limit (excluding voluntary waivers) was 1.00%.
In addition, the Fund invests in affiliated VCM exchange-traded fund(s) ("affiliated ETFs"). The Fund's advisory fee is reimbursed by VCM that to the extent of the indirect advisory fee incurred through the Fund's proportional investment in the affiliated ETFs. These affiliated ETF advisory fee reimbursements are not available for recoupment. For the six months ended November 30, 2022, the Fund incurred reimbursable expense of $590 thousand, of which $590 thousand consisted of affiliated ETF Adviser fee reimbursements and is reflected on the Statement of Operations as Expenses waived/reimbursed by Adviser. The Fund has a receivable related to these reimbursable expenses from the Adviser for $286 thousand, pursuant to the Fund's expense limitation agreement and is reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Receivable from Advisor for ETF reimbursements.
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 November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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.
Tactical Allocation Risk — The Fund has a targeted risk tolerance and a corresponding asset allocation target; however, mere asset allocation and volatility are not the sole determination of risk. The Fund's managers will tactically allocate away from the target allocation as market conditions and the perceived risks warrant. The Fund bears the risk that the managers' tactical allocation will not be successful.
Affiliated Funds Risk — The risks of the Fund directly correspond to the risks of the underlying affiliated funds in which the Fund invests. By investing in the underlying affiliated funds, the Fund has exposure to the risk of many different areas of the market. The degree to which the risks described below apply to the Fund varies according to the Fund's asset allocation. For instance, the more the Fund is allocated to stock funds, the greater the risk associated with equity securities. The Fund also is subject to asset allocation risk (i.e., the risk that allocations will not produce the intended results) and to management risk (i.e., the risk that the selection of underlying affiliated funds will not produce the intended results).
Conflict of Interest Risk — In managing a Fund that invests in underlying affiliated funds, the Adviser may have conflicts of interest in allocating the Fund's assets among the various underlying affiliated funds. This is because the fees payable by some of the underlying affiliated funds to the Adviser and/or its affiliates are higher than the fees payable by other underlying affiliated funds, and because the Adviser also manages and administers the underlying affiliated funds.
ETF Risk — The Fund may invest in shares of ETFs, which generally are registered investment companies that hold a portfolio of common stocks or debt securities, the shares of which are traded on an exchange. ETFs incur their own management and other fees and expenses, such as trustees' fees,
23
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
operating expenses, registration fees, and marketing expenses, a proportionate share of which will be borne indirectly by the Fund as a shareholder in an ETF. As a result, the Fund's investment in an ETF will cause the Fund to indirectly bear the fees and expenses of the ETF and, in turn, the Fund's performance may be lower than if the Fund were to invest directly in the underlying securities held by the ETF. For investments in affiliated ETFs, the Fund's management fee is reimbursed by the Adviser to the extent of the indirect management fee incurred through the Fund's investment in the affiliated ETFs. The Adviser may have conflicts of interest in allocating assets among affiliated and unaffiliated ETFs, because the Adviser also manages and administers the affiliated ETFs, and the Adviser and its affiliates receive other fees from the affiliated ETFs. In addition, the Fund also will be subject to the risks associated with the securities or other investments held by the ETFs.
Market Risk — Overall market risks may affect the value of the Fund. Domestic and international factors such as political events, war, terrorism, trade disputes, inflation rates, interest rate levels and other fiscal and monetary policy changes, cybersecurity incidents, pandemics and other public health crises, sanctions against a particular foreign country, its nationals, businesses or industries and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods, or other catastrophes, may add to instability in global economies and markets generally, and may lead to increased market volatility. Global economies and financial markets are highly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region might adversely affect issuers in another country or region. The impact of these and other factors may be short-term or may last for extended periods.
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 six months ended November 30, 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 June 1, 2022, 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 November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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,
24
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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 six months ended November 30, 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.
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (loss) will be determined at the end of the current tax year.
At the tax year ended May 31, 2022, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.
8. Affiliated Securities:
An affiliated security is a security in which the Fund has ownership of at least 5% of the security's outstanding voting shares, an investment company managed by VCM, or an issuer under common control with a Fund or VCM. The Fund does not invest in affiliated securities for the purpose of exercising management or control. These securities are noted as affiliated on the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The financial statements of the underlying funds can be found in shareholder reports filed with the SEC by each such underlying fund semi-annually on Form N-CSR and are available for download from both the SEC's as well as each respective underlying fund's website. Transactions in affiliated securities during the six months ended November 30, 2022, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | Fair Value 5/31/2022 | | Purchases at Cost | | Proceeds from Sales | | Realized Gains (Losses) | | Capital Gain Distribution | | Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation/ Depreciation | | Fair Value 11/30/2022 | | Dividend Income | |

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information
Proxy Voting:
Information regarding the policies and procedures the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling (800) 235-8396. The information is also included in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Information relating to how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent 12 months ended June 30 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments:
The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. Form N-PORT is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from June 1, 2022, through November 30, 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 6/1/22 | | Actual Ending Account Value 11/30/22 | | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 11/30/22 | | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 6/1/22-11/30/22* | | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 6/1/22-11/30/22* | | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 6/1/22-11/30/22 | |
$ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 974.50 | | | $ | 1,020.71 | | | $ | 4.31 | | | $ | 4.41 | | | | 0.87 | % | |
* Expenses are equal to the average account value multiplied by the Fund's annualized expense ratio multiplied by 183/365 (the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year).

However, you may elect not to have withholding apply or to have income tax withheld at a higher rate.

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.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
1. Organization:
USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 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 Cornerstone Moderately Aggressive Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.
Victory Capital Management ("VCM" or 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 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 (unadjusted) in active markets for identical securities
• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, or credit spreads, applicable to those securities, etc.)
• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser's 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.
The Adviser, acting as the valuation designee 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"), 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
18
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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, including underlying funds, 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 November 30, 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 | |

For the six months ended November 30, 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 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.
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.
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
20
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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 and Collateral received from broker for futures contracts.
Management has determined that no offsetting requirements exist as a result of their conclusion that the Fund is not subject to master netting agreements for futures contracts. During the six months ended November 30, 2022, the Fund entered into futures contracts primarily for the strategy of gaining exposure to a particular asset class or securities market.
Summary of Derivative Instruments:
The following table summarizes the fair values of derivative instruments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, categorized by risk exposure, as of November 30, 2022 (amounts in thousands):
| | Assets | | Liabilities | |
| | Variation Margin Receivable on Open Futures Contracts* | | Variation Margin Payable on Open Futures Contracts* | |
Equity Risk Exposure | | $ | 5,030 | | | $ | 3,340 | | |
* Includes cumulative unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of futures contracts as reported on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments. Only current day's variation margin for futures contracts is reported within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The following table presents the effect of derivative instruments on the Statement of Operations, categorized by risk exposure, for the six months ended November 30, 2022 (amounts in thousands):
| | Net Realized Gains (Losses) on Derivatives Recognized as a Result of Operations | | Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation/Depreciation on Derivatives Recognized as a Result of Operations | |
| | Net Realized Gains (Losses) from Futures Contracts | | Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation/Depreciation on Futures Contracts | |
Equity Risk Exposure | | $ | 649 | | | $ | 3,106 | | |
All open derivative positions at period end are reflected on the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The underlying face value of open derivative positions relative to the Fund's net assets at period end is generally representative of the notional amount of open positions to net assets throughout the period.
Investment Transactions and Related Income:
Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date or the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis. Paydown gains or losses on applicable securities, if any, are recorded as components of Interest income on the Statement of Operations.
Withholding taxes on interest, dividends, and gains as a result of certain investments in ADRs by the Fund have been provided for in accordance with each investment's applicable country's tax rules and rates.

Securities Lending:
The Fund, through a Securities Lending Agreement with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), may lend its securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers and banks, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. Borrowers are required to initially secure their loans for collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non-U.S. securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls associated with increases in the valuation of the securities loaned are generally cured the next business day. The collateral can be received in the form of cash collateral and/or non-cash collateral. Non-cash collateral can include U.S. Government Securities and other securities as permitted by Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidelines. The cash collateral is invested in short-term instruments or cash equivalents, primarily open-end investment companies, as noted on the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The Fund effectively does not have control of the non-cash collateral and therefore it is not disclosed on the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. Collateral requirements are determined daily based on the value of the Fund's securities on loan as of the end of the prior business day. During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the Fund any dividends or interest paid on such securities plus any fee negotiated between the parties to the lending agreement. The Fund also earns a return from the collateral. The Fund pays Citibank various fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral and fees based on the investment income received from securities lending activities. Securities lending income (net of these fees) is disclosed on the Statement of Operations. Loans are terminable upon demand and the borrower must return the loaned securities within the lesser of one standard settlement period or five business days. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Fund could experience a delay in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them. In addition, there is a risk that the value of the short-term investments will be less than the amount of cash collateral required to be returned to the borrower.
The Fund's agreement with Citibank does not include master netting provisions. Non-cash collateral received by the Fund may not be sold or repledged, except to satisfy borrower default.
The following table (amounts in thousands) is a summary of the Fund's securities lending transactions as of November 30, 2022.
Value of Securities on Loan | | Non-Cash Collateral | | Cash Collateral | |
$ | 152,107 | (a) | | $ | — | | | $ | 153,744 | | |
(a) Includes $2,128 thousand of securities on loan that were sold on November 30, 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 unaffiliated 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 unaffiliated 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.
22
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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 May 31.
For the six months ended November 30, 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 under specified conditions outlined in the valuation policies and procedures adopted by the Board. In addition, as defined under the valuation policies and procedures, each transaction must be effected at the independent current market price. For the six months ended November 30, 2022, the Fund engaged in the following securities transactions with affiliated funds, which resulted in the following net realized gains (losses) (amounts in thousands):

23
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
The Trust relies on an exemptive order granted to VCM and its affiliated funds by the SEC in March 2019, permitting the use of a "manager-of-managers" structure for certain funds. Under a manager-of-managers structure, the investment adviser may select (with approval of the Board and without shareholder approval) one or more subadvisers to manage the day-to-day investment of a fund's assets. For the six months ended November 30, 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%, which is based on the Fund's average daily net assets.

(Unaudited)
The Adviser has entered into an expense limitation agreement with the Fund until at least September 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 limit. As of November 30, 2022, the expense limit (excluding voluntary waivers) was 0.98%.
In addition, the Fund invests in affiliated VCM exchange-traded fund(s) ("affiliated ETFs"). The Fund's advisory fee is reimbursed by VCM that to the extent of the indirect advisory fee incurred through the Fund's proportional investment in the affiliated ETFs. These affiliated ETF advisory fee reimbursements are not available for recoupment. For the six months ended November 30, 2022, the Fund incurred reimbursable expense of $1,062 thousand, of which $1,062 thousand consisted of affiliated ETF Adviser fee reimbursements and is reflected on the Statement of Operations as Expenses waived/reimbursed by Adviser. The Fund has a receivable related to these reimbursable expenses from the Adviser for $518 thousand, pursuant to the Fund's expense limitation agreement and is reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Receivable from Advisor for ETF reimbursements.
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 November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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.
Tactical Allocation Risk — The Fund has a targeted risk tolerance and a corresponding asset allocation target; however, mere asset allocation and volatility are not the sole determination of risk. The Fund's managers will tactically allocate away from the target allocation as market conditions and the perceived risks warrant. The Fund bears the risk that the managers' tactical allocation will not be successful.
Affiliated Funds Risk — The risks of the Fund directly correspond to the risks of the underlying affiliated funds in which the Fund invests. By investing in the underlying affiliated funds, the Fund has exposure to the risk of many different areas of the market. The degree to which the risks described below apply to the Fund varies according to the Fund's asset allocation. For instance, the more the Fund is allocated to stock funds, the greater the risk associated with equity securities. The Fund also is subject to asset allocation risk (i.e., the risk that allocations will not produce the intended results) and to management risk (i.e., the risk that the selection of underlying affiliated funds will not produce the intended results).
Conflict of Interest Risk — In managing a Fund that invests in underlying affiliated funds, the Adviser may have conflicts of interest in allocating the Fund's assets among the various underlying affiliated funds. This is because the fees payable by some of the underlying affiliated funds to the Adviser and/or its affiliates are higher than the fees payable by other underlying affiliated funds, and because the Adviser also manages and administers the underlying affiliated funds.
25
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
ETF Risk —The Fund may invest in shares of ETFs, which generally are registered investment companies that hold a portfolio of common stocks or debt securities, the shares of which are traded on an exchange. ETFs incur their own management and other fees and expenses, such as trustees' fees, operating expenses, registration fees, and marketing expenses, a proportionate share of which will be borne indirectly by the Fund as a shareholder in an ETF. As a result, the Fund's investment in an ETF will cause the Fund to indirectly bear the fees and expenses of the ETF and, in turn, the Fund's performance may be lower than if the Fund were to invest directly in the underlying securities held by the ETF. For investments in affiliated ETFs, the Fund's management fee is reimbursed by the Adviser to the extent of the indirect management fee incurred through the Fund's investment in the affiliated ETFs. The Adviser may have conflicts of interest in allocating assets among affiliated and unaffiliated ETFs, because the Adviser also manages and administers the affiliated ETFs, and the Adviser and its affiliates receive other fees from the affiliated ETFs. In addition, the Fund also will be subject to the risks associated with the securities or other investments held by the ETFs.
Market Risk — Overall market risks may affect the value of the Fund. Domestic and international factors such as political events, war, terrorism, trade disputes, inflation rates, interest rate levels and other fiscal and monetary policy changes, cybersecurity incidents, pandemics and other public health crises, sanctions against a particular foreign country, its nationals, businesses or industries and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods, or other catastrophes, may add to instability in global economies and markets generally, and may lead to increased market volatility. Global economies and financial markets are highly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region might adversely affect issuers in another country or region. The impact of these and other factors may be short-term or may last for extended periods.
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 six months ended November 30, 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 June 1, 2022, 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 November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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
26
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. As a Borrower, interest charged to the Fund, if any, during the period, is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Interfund lending fees. As a Lender, interest earned by the Fund, if any, during the period, is reflected on the Statement of Operations under Interfund lending.
The Fund did not utilize or participate in the Facility during the six months ended November 30, 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.
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (loss) will be determined at the end of the current tax year.

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information
Proxy Voting:
Information regarding the policies and procedures the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling (800) 235-8396. The information is also included in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Information relating to how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent 12 months ended June 30 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments:
The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. Form N-PORT is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from June 1, 2022, through November 30, 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 6/1/22 | | Actual Ending Account Value 11/30/22 | | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 11/30/22 | | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 6/1/22-11/30/22* | | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 6/1/22-11/30/22* | | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 6/1/22-11/30/22 | |
$ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 977.50 | | | $ | 1,020.66 | | | $ | 4.36 | | | $ | 4.46 | | | | 0.88 | % | |
* Expenses are equal to the average account value multiplied by the Fund's annualized expense ratio multiplied by 183/365 (the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year).

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

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
1. Organization:
USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 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 and Tax Strategy Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers four classes of shares: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, and Class C. 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.
Victory Capital Management ("VCM" or 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 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 (unadjusted) in active markets for identical securities
• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, or credit spreads, applicable to those securities, etc.)
• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser's 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.
The Adviser, acting as the valuation designee 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 November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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.
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 November 30, 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 | | $ | 337,616 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 337,616 | | |
Corporate Bonds | | | — | | | | — | | | | 245 | | | | 245 | | |
Municipal Bonds | | | — | | | | 362,988 | | | | — | | | | 362,988 | | |
Exchange-Traded Funds | | | 557 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | 557 | | |
Total | | $ | 338,173 | | | $ | 362,988 | | | $ | 245 | | | $ | 701,406 | | |
For the six months ended November 30, 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
35
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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 generally take place within 35 days a month or more after the trade date. Securities that require more than 35 days to settle are considered a senior security and subject to Rule 18F-4. At the time the Fund makes the commitment to purchase a security on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis, the Fund records the transaction and reflects the value of the security in determining NAV. No interest accrues to the Fund until the transaction settles and payment takes place. A segregated account is established and the Fund maintains cash and/or marketable securities at least equal in value to commitments for delayed-delivery or when-issued securities. If the Fund owns delayed-delivery or when-issued securities, these values are included in Payables for Investments purchased on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the segregated assets are identified on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments.
Municipal Obligations:
The values of municipal obligations can fluctuate and may be affected by adverse tax, legislative, or political changes, and by financial developments affecting municipal issuers. Payments of municipal obligations may depend on a relatively limited source of revenue, resulting in greater credit risk. Future changes in federal tax laws or the activity of an issuer may adversely affect the tax-exempt status of municipal obligations.
Below-Investment-Grade Securities:
The Fund may invest in below-investment-grade securities (i.e., lower-quality, "junk" debt), which are subject to various risks. Lower-quality debt is considered to be speculative because it is less certain that the issuer will be able to pay interest or repay the principal than in the case of investment-grade debt. These securities can involve a substantially greater risk of default than higher-rated securities, and their values can decline significantly over short periods of time. Lower-quality debt securities tend to be more sensitive to adverse news about their issuers, the market and the economy in general, than higher-quality debt securities. The market for these securities can be less liquid, especially during periods of recession or general market decline.
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
36
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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. As of November 30, 2022, the Fund had no open futures contracts.
Management has determined that no offsetting requirements exist as a result of their conclusion that the Fund is not subject to master netting agreements for futures contracts. During the six months ended November 30, 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.
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.
Withholding taxes on interest, dividends, and gains as a result of certain investments in ADRs by the Fund have been provided for in accordance with each investment's applicable country's tax rules and rates.
Securities Lending:
The Fund, through a Securities Lending Agreement with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), may lend its securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers and banks, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. Borrowers are required to initially secure their loans for collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non-U.S. securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls associated with increases in the valuation of the securities loaned are generally cured the next business day. The collateral can be received in the form of cash collateral and/or non-cash collateral. Non-cash collateral can include U.S. Government Securities and other securities as permitted by Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidelines. The cash collateral is invested in short-term instruments or cash equivalents, primarily open-end investment companies, as noted on the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The Fund effectively does not have control of the non-cash collateral and therefore it is not disclosed on the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. Collateral requirements are determined daily based on the value of the Fund's securities on loan as of the end of the prior business day. During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the Fund any dividends or interest paid on such securities plus any fee negotiated between the parties to the lending agreement. The Fund also earns a return from the collateral. The Fund pays Citibank various fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral and fees based on the investment income received from securities lending activities. Securities lending income (net of these fees) is disclosed on the Statement of Operations.
37
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
Loans are terminable upon demand and the borrower must return the loaned securities within the lesser of one standard settlement period or five business days. 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.
As of November 30, 2022, the Fund did not have any securities on loan.
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 May 31.
For the six months ended November 30, 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 under specified conditions outlined in the valuation policies and procedures adopted by the Board. In addition, as defined under the valuation policies and procedures, each transaction must be effected at the independent current market price. For the six months ended November 30, 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) | |
$ | 16,600 | | | $ | 18,280 | | | $ | — | | |

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. Purchases and Sales:

Excluding U.S. Government Securities | |
Purchases | | Sales | |
$ | 92,880 | | | $ | 123,860 | | |
4. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties:
Investment Advisory Fees:
Investment advisory services are provided to the Fund by the Adviser, which is a New York corporation registered as an investment adviser with the SEC.
Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive a base fee and a performance adjustment. The Fund's base fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.30% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the six months ended November 30, 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 Composite Index which is comprised of 51% of the Lipper General & Insured Municipal Bond Funds Index and 49% of the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index.
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 Composite Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
For the period June 1, 2022, to November 30, 2022, performance adjustments were $(67), $(3), $(1), and less than $(1) for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, and Class C, in thousands, respectively. Performance adjustments were (0.02)%, (0.01)%, (0.01)%, and (0.01)% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, and Class C, 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 Northern Trust Investments, Inc. ("NTI") under which NTI directs the investment and reinvestment of the Fund's assets allocated to it in accordance with the Fund's investment objective, policies, and restrictions, subject to the general supervision of the Board and 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%, 0.10%, 0.15%, and 0.15%, which is based on the Fund's average daily net assets of the Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, and Class C, respectively. Amounts incurred for the six months ended November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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, Class A, and Class C are paid monthly based on a fee accrued daily at an annualized rate of 0.10%, 0.10%, and 0.10%, respectively, of average daily net assets, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the six months ended November 30, 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 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C and 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 and Class C. Amounts incurred and paid to the Distributor for the six months ended November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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 September 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 November 30, 2022, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 0.61%, 0.57%, 0.86%, and 1.61% for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, and Class C, 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 November 30, 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 November 30, 2022.
Expires 2024 | | Expires 2025 | | Expires 2026 | | Total | |
$ | 34 | | | $ | 14 | | | $ | 23 | | | $ | 71 | | |
The Adviser may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Fund in maintaining competitive expense ratios. Voluntary waivers and reimbursements applicable to the Fund are not available to be recouped at a future time. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the six months ended November 30, 2022.
Certain officers and/or interested trustees of the Fund are also officers and/or employees of the Adviser, administrator, fund accountant, sub-administrator, sub-fund accountant, custodian, and Distributor.

5. Risks:
The Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.
Debt Securities Risk — The value of a debt security or other income-producing security changes in response to various factors including, for example, market-related factors (such as changes in interest rates or changes in the risk appetite of investors generally) and changes in the actual or perceived ability of the issuer (or of issuers generally) to meet its (or their) obligations. Other factors that may affect the value of debt securities include, among others, public health crises and responses by governments and companies to such crises. These and other events may affect the creditworthiness of the issuer of a debt security and may impair an issuer's ability to timely meet its debt obligations as they come due.
Credit Risk — The fixed-income securities in the Fund's portfolio are subject to credit risk, which is the possibility that an issuer of a fixed-income security will fail to make timely interest and/or principal payments on its securities or that negative market perceptions of the issuer's ability to make such payments will cause the price of that security to decline. The Fund accepts some credit risk as a recognized means to enhance an investor's return. All fixed-income securities, varying from the highest quality to the very speculative, have some degree of credit risk. 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.
Interest Rate Risk — As a mutual fund that has the ability to invest in bonds, 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 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.
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.
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.
42
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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.
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 six months ended November 30, 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 June 1, 2022, 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 November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 2022.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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 six months ended November 30, 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.
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (loss) will be determined at the end of the current tax year.
At the tax year ended May 31, 2022, the Fund had net capital loss carryforwards as summarized 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.

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 June 1, 2022, through November 30, 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 6/1/22 | | Actual Ending Account Value 11/30/22 | | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 11/30/22 | | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 6/1/22- 11/30/22* | | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 6/1/22- 11/30/22* | | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 6/1/22- 11/30/22 | |

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

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
1. Organization:
USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 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 Emerging Markets 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.
Victory Capital Management ("VCM" or 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 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 (unadjusted) in active markets for identical securities
• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, or credit spreads, applicable to those securities, etc.)
• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser's 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.
24
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
The Adviser, acting as the valuation designee 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"), 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 November 30, 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 | | $ | 140,044 | | | $ | 496,846 | | | $ | 87 | | | $ | 636,977 | | |
Exchange-Traded Funds | | | 1,938 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | 1,938 | | |
Collateral for Securities Loaned | | | 4,566 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | 4,566 | | |
| | | — | | | | — | | | | — | | | | — | | |
Total | | $ | 146,548 | | | $ | 496,846 | | | $ | 87 | | | $ | 643,481 | | |
For the six months ended November 30, 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
25
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
while awaiting purchase of underlying securities. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities the ETF is designed to track, although the lack of liquidity of an ETF could result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.
Open-End Funds:
The Fund may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the board of directors of the underlying funds.
Derivative Instruments:
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 November 30, 2022, the Fund had no open forward foreign exchange currency contracts.
Investment Transactions and Related Income:
Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date or the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis.
Withholding taxes on interest, dividends, and gains as a result of certain investments in ADRs by the Fund have been provided for in accordance with each investment's applicable country's tax rules and rates.
Securities Lending:
The Fund, through a Securities Lending Agreement with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), may lend its securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers and banks, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. Borrowers are required to initially secure their loans for collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non-U.S. securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls associated with increases in the valuation of the securities loaned are generally cured the next business day. The collateral can be received in the form of cash collateral and/or non-cash collateral. Non-cash collateral
26
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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 November 30, 2022.
Value of Securities on Loan | | Non-Cash Collateral | | Cash Collateral | |
$ | 6,152 | | | $ | 1,511 | | | $ | 4,566 | | |
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. In September 2022, the Poland Tax Authority issued favorable decisions relating to claims for Poland. These reclaims are recorded when the amount is known and there are no significant uncertainties on collectability. For the six months ended November 30, 2022, the Fund recognized $19 thousand in reclaims. These reclaims are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Dividend Income.
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
27
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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 May 31.
For the six months ended November 30, 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.
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 1.00% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the six months ended November 30, 2022, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Investment advisory fees.
28
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
The performance adjustment for each share class is accrued daily and calculated monthly by comparing the respective class' performance to that of the Lipper Emerging Markets Fund Index. The Lipper Emerging Markets Fund Index tracks the total return performance of the largest funds within the Lipper Emerging Markets Fund 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 Emerging Markets Fund Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
For the period June 1, 2022, to November 30, 2022, performance adjustments were $0, $13, and $0 for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A, in thousands, respectively. Performance adjustments were 0.00%, 0.01%, and 0.00% 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.
VCM entered into an Investment Subadvisory Agreement with Lazard Asset Management LLC ("Lazard"), under which Lazard 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%, 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 six months ended November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 2022, the Distributor did not receive any commissions.
Other Fees:
Citibank serves as the Fund's custodian. The Fund pays Citibank a fee for providing these services. Amounts incurred for the six months ended November 30, 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 September 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
30
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
the expense limits. As of November 30, 2022, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 1.48%, 1.29%, and 1.75% 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 November 30, 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 November 30, 2022.
Expires 2023 | | Expires 2024 | | Expires 2025 | | Expires 2026 | | Total | |
$ | 261 | | | $ | 215 | | | $ | 111 | | | $ | 265 | | | $ | 852 | | |
The Adviser may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Fund in maintaining competitive expense ratios. Voluntary waivers and reimbursements applicable to the Fund are not available to be recouped at a future time. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the six months ended November 30, 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. Global markets, or those in a particular region, may all react in similar fashion to important political, economic, or other developments. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable and make such investments riskier and more volatile.

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 six months ended November 30, 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 June 1, 2022, 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 November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 2022, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Amount Outstanding at November 30, 2022 | | Average Borrowing* | | Days Borrowing Outstanding | | Average Interest Rate* | | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | |
$ | — | | | $ | 1,788 | | | | 1 | | | | 3.88 | % | | $ | 1,788 | | |
* For the six months ended November 30, 2022, based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding.
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 six months ended November 30, 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
32
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (loss) will be determined at the end of the current tax year.
At the tax year ended May 31, 2022, the Fund had net capital loss carryforwards as summarized in the table below (amounts in thousands). It is unlikely that the Board will authorize a distribution of capital gains realized in the future until the capital loss carryforwards have been used.
Short-Term Amount | | Total | |
$ | 13,777 | | | $ | 13,777 | | |
9. Subsequent Event:
On December 9, 2022, the Board of Trustees of USAA Mutual Funds Trust ("Trust"), upon the recommendation of Victory Capital Management Inc., the Trust's investment adviser, approved a Plan of Liquidation ("Plan") for the USAA Emerging Markets Fund Class A (the "Share Class"). It is anticipated that the Share Class will liquidate on or about February 22, 2023. On the liquidation date, the Share Class will redeem all its outstanding shares at the net asset value of such shares.
Effective December 19, 2022, the Share Class will be closed to new investors and shareholder accounts. Through the NAV on February 15, 2023, the Share Class will continue to accept additional investments (including through the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains) from existing shareholders. Please note that no other classes of the Fund are affected.

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 June 1, 2022, through November 30, 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 6/1/22 | | Actual Ending Account Value 11/30/22 | | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 11/30/22 | | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 6/1/22- 11/30/22* | | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 6/1/22- 11/30/22* | | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 6/1/22- 11/30/22 | |
Fund Shares | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 910.00 | | | $ | 1,017.65 | | | $ | 7.09 | | | $ | 7.49 | | | | 1.48 | % | |
Institutional Shares | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 910.90 | | | | 1,018.55 | | | | 6.23 | | | | 6.58 | | | | 1.30 | % | |
Class A | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 908.90 | | | | 1,016.29 | | | | 8.37 | | | | 8.85 | | | | 1.75 | % | |
* Expenses are equal to the average account value multiplied by the Fund's annualized expense ratio multiplied by 183/365 (the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year).

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
1. Organization:
USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 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 Precious Metals and Minerals Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund offers three classes of shares: Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A. The Fund is classified as non-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.
Victory Capital Management ("VCM" or 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 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 (unadjusted) in active markets for identical securities
• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, or credit spreads, applicable to those securities, etc.)
• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser's 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.
The Adviser, acting as the valuation designee has established the Pricing and Liquidity Committee (the "Committee"), and subject to the Trust's Board of Trustees' (the "Board") oversight, the Committee administers and oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures, which are approved by the Board.
12
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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 November 30, 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 | | $ | 437,837 | | | $ | 55,359 | | | $ | 10,231 | | | $ | 503,427 | | |
Collateral for Securities Loaned | | | 14,261 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | 14,261 | | |
Total | | $ | 452,098 | | | $ | 55,359 | | | $ | 10,231 | | | $ | 517,688 | | |
For the six months ended November 30, 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.
Derivative Instruments:
Foreign Exchange Currency Contracts:
The Fund may enter into foreign exchange currency contracts to convert U.S. dollars to and from various foreign currencies. A foreign exchange currency contract is an obligation by the Fund to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date at a price (in U.S. dollars) set at the time of the contract. The Fund does not engage in "cross-currency" foreign exchange contracts (i.e., contracts to purchase or sell one foreign currency in exchange for another foreign currency). The Fund's foreign 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
13
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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 November 30, 2022, the Fund had no open forward foreign exchange currency contracts.
Investment Transactions and Related Income:
Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date or the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis.
Withholding taxes on interest, dividends, and gains as a result of certain investments in ADRs by the Fund have been provided for in accordance with each investment's applicable country's tax rules and rates.
Securities Lending:
The Fund, through a Securities Lending Agreement with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), may lend its securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers and banks, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. Borrowers are required to initially secure their loans for collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non-U.S. securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls associated with increases in the valuation of the securities loaned are generally cured the next business day. The collateral can be received in the form of cash collateral and/or non-cash collateral. Non-cash collateral can include U.S. Government Securities and other securities as permitted by Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidelines. The cash collateral is invested in short-term instruments or cash equivalents, primarily open-end investment companies, as noted on the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The Fund effectively does not have control of the non-cash collateral and therefore it is not disclosed on the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. Collateral requirements are determined daily based on the value of the Fund's securities on loan as of the end of the prior business day. During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the Fund any dividends or interest paid on such securities plus any fee negotiated between the parties to the lending agreement. The Fund also earns a return from the collateral. The Fund pays Citibank various fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral and fees based on the investment income received from securities lending activities. Securities lending income (net of these fees) is disclosed on the Statement of Operations. Loans are terminable upon demand and the borrower must return the loaned securities within the lesser of one standard settlement period or five business days. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Fund could experience a delay in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them. In addition, there is a risk that the value of the short-term investments will be less than the amount of cash collateral required to be returned to the borrower.
The Fund's agreement with Citibank does not include master netting provisions. Non-cash collateral received by the Fund may not be sold or repledged, except to satisfy borrower default.

The following table (amounts in thousands) is a summary of the Fund's securities lending transactions as of November 30, 2022.
Value of Securities on Loan | | Non-Cash Collateral | | Cash Collateral | |
$ | 14,242 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 14,261 | | |
Foreign Currency Translations:
The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities of the Fund denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts, and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the date of the transactions. The Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are disclosed as Net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investment securities and foreign currency translations on the Statement of Operations. Any realized gains or losses from these fluctuations are disclosed as Net realized gains (losses) from investment securities and foreign currency transactions on the Statement of Operations.
Foreign Taxes:
The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes related to foreign income received (a portion of which may be reclaimable), capital gains on the sale of securities, and certain foreign currency transactions. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Fund invests.
Federal Income Taxes:
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Fund has a tax year end of May 31.
For the six months ended November 30, 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.
Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive a base fee and a performance adjustment. The Fund's base fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.75% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the six months ended November 30, 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 Precious Metals Equity Funds Index. The Lipper Precious Metals Equity Funds Index tracks the total return performance of the largest funds within the Lipper Precious Metals Equity 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.
16
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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 Precious Metals Equity Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
For the period June 1, 2022, to November 30, 2022, performance adjustments were $(81), $(2), and $(4) for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A, in thousands, respectively. Performance adjustments were (0.04)%, (0.03)%, and (0.04)% 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 six months ended November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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,
17
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
plus out-of-pocket expenses. Amounts incurred and paid to VCTA for the six months ended November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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 September 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 November 30, 2022, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 1.27%, 1.00%, and 1.34% 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 November 30, 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 November 30, 2022.
Expires 2023 | | Expires 2024 | | Expires 2025 | | Expires 2026 | | Total | |
$ | 7 | | | $ | 23 | | | $ | 22 | | | $ | 24 | | | $ | 76 | | |
The Adviser may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Fund in maintaining competitive expense ratios.

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. Global markets, or those in a particular region, may all react in similar fashion to important political, economic, or other developments. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable and make such investments riskier and more volatile.
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 six months ended November 30, 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 June 1, 2022, 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 November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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.
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (loss) will be determined at the end of the current tax year.
At the tax year ended May 31, 2022, the Fund had net capital loss carryforwards as summarized 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.

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 June 1, 2022, through November 30, 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.

* Expenses are equal to the average account value multiplied by the Fund's annualized expense ratio multiplied by 183/365 (the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year).

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

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
1. Organization:
USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 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 International 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.
Victory Capital Management ("VCM" or 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 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 (unadjusted) in active markets for identical securities
• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, or credit spreads, applicable to those securities, etc.)
• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser's 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.
34
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
The Adviser, acting as the valuation designee 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"), 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 November 30, 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 | | $ | 80,323 | | | $ | 2,386,653 | | | $ | 74 | | | $ | 2,467,050 | | |
Exchange-Traded Funds | | | 7,329 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | 7,329 | | |
Collateral for Securities Loaned | | | 60,077 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | 60,077 | | |
Total | | $ | 147,729 | | | $ | 2,386,653 | | | $ | 74 | | �� | $ | 2,534,456 | | |
For the six months ended November 30, 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
35
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
while awaiting purchase of underlying securities. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities the ETF is designed to track, although the lack of liquidity of an ETF could result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.
Open-End Funds:
The Fund may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the board of directors of the underlying funds.
Derivative Instruments:
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 November 30, 2022, the Fund had no open forward foreign exchange currency contracts.
Investment Transactions and Related Income:
Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date or the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis.
Withholding taxes on interest, dividends, and gains as a result of certain investments in ADRs by the Fund have been provided for in accordance with each investment's applicable country's tax rules and rates.
Securities Lending:
The Fund, through a Securities Lending Agreement with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), may lend its securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers and banks, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. Borrowers are required to initially secure their loans for collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non-U.S. securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls associated with increases in the valuation of the securities loaned are generally cured the next business day. The
36
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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 November 30, 2022.
Value of Securities on Loan | | Non-Cash Collateral | | Cash Collateral | |
$ | 53,369 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 60,077 | | |
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 maybe 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 received European Union reclaims related to prior years. For the six months ended November 30, 2022, the Fund recognized $5,850 thousand related to EU reclaims and $1,575 thousand in related interest and entitlements. These reclaims are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Dividend Income or as a reduction to Foreign tax withholding expense. The related interest entitlements are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Interest income or as a reduction to Foreign tax withholding expense.
37
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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 May 31.
For the six months ended November 30, 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.
3. Purchases and Sales:
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) for the six months ended November 30, 2022, were as follows for the Fund (amounts in thousands):
Excluding U.S. Government Securities | |
Purchases | | Sales | |
$ | 509,957 | | | $ | 483,678 | | |
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 November 30, 2022, certain fund-of-funds owned total outstanding shares of the Fund as follows:
Affiliated USAA Mutual Funds | | Ownership % | |
USAA Cornerstone Conservative Fund | | | 0.3 | | |
USAA Cornerstone Equity Fund | | | 1.2 | | |
5. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties:
Investment Advisory Fees:
Investment advisory services are provided to the Fund by the Adviser, which is a New York corporation registered as an investment adviser with the SEC.
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
38
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
rate of 0.75% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the six months ended November 30, 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 International Funds Index. The Lipper International Funds Index tracks the total return performance of the largest funds within the Lipper International 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 International Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
For the period June 1, 2022, to November 30, 2022, performance adjustments were $(298), $(302), $(1), and less than $(1) for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, and R6 Shares, in thousands, respectively. Performance adjustments were (0.05)%, (0.05)%, (0.22%), and (0.38)% 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.
VCM entered into an Investment Subadvisory Agreement with Wellington Management Company LLP ("Wellington Management"). Wellington Management 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%, 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 six months ended November 30, 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
39
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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 six months ended November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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, 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 six months ended November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 2022, the Distributor did not receive any commissions.
Other Fees:
Citibank serves as the Fund's custodian. The Fund pays Citibank a fee for providing these services. Amounts incurred for the six months ended November 30, 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 September 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,
40
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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 November 30, 2022, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 1.06%, 0.99%, 1.35%, and 0.85% 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 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 November 30, 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 November 30, 2022.
Expires 2023 | | Expires 2024 | | Expires 2025 | | Expires 2026 | | Total | |
$ | 9 | | | $ | 372 | | | $ | 85 | | | $ | 333 | | | $ | 799 | | |
The Adviser may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees to assist the Fund in maintaining competitive expense ratios. Voluntary waivers and reimbursements applicable to the Fund are not available to be recouped at a future time. There were no voluntary waivers or reimbursements for the six months ended November 30, 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. Global markets, or those in a particular region, may all react in similar fashion to important political, economic, or other developments. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable and make such investments riskier and more volatile.

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 six months ended November 30, 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 June 1, 2022, 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 November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 2022, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Borrower or Lender | | Amount Outstanding at November 30, 2022 | | Average Borrowing* | | Days Borrowing Outstanding | | Average Interest Rate* | | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | |
Borrower | | $ | — | | | $ | 1,671 | | | | 16 | | | | 3.78 | % | | $ | 3,437 | | |
* For the six months ended November 30, 2022, based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding.
8. Federal Income Tax Information:
The Fund intends to distribute any net investment income annually. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively, distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in
42
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (loss) will be determined at the end of the current tax year.
At the tax year ended May 31, 2022, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information
Proxy Voting:
Information regarding the policies and procedures the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling (800) 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 June 1, 2022, through November 30, 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 6/1/22 | | Actual Ending Account Value 11/30/22 | | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 11/30/22 | | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 6/1/22- 11/30/22* | | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 6/1/22- 11/30/22* | | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 6/1/22- 11/30/22 | |
Fund Shares | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 976.50 | | | $ | 1,020.00 | | | $ | 5.00 | | | $ | 5.11 | | | | 1.01 | % | |

* Expenses are equal to the average account value multiplied by the Fund's annualized expense ratio multiplied by 183/365 (the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year).

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.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
1. Organization:
USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 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 Sustainable World 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.
Victory Capital Management ("VCM" or 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 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 (unadjusted) in active markets for identical securities
• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, or credit spreads, applicable to those securities, etc.)
• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser's 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.
The Adviser, acting as the valuation designee has established the Pricing and Liquidity Committee (the "Committee"), and subject to the Trust's Board of Trustees' (the "Board") oversight, the Committee
32
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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"), 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 November 30, 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 | | $ | 759,934 | | | $ | 424,989 | | | $ | 19 | | | $ | 1,184,942 | | |
Exchange-Traded Funds | | | 924 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | 924 | | |
Collateral for Securities Loaned | | | 2,496 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | 2,496 | | |
Total | | $ | 763,354 | | | $ | 424,989 | | | $ | 19 | | | $ | 1,188,362 | | |
For the six months ended November 30, 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.
33
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
Open-End Funds:
The Fund may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the board of directors of the underlying funds.
Derivative Instruments:
Foreign Exchange Currency Contracts:
The Fund may enter into foreign exchange currency contracts to convert U.S. dollars to and from various foreign currencies. A foreign exchange currency contract is an obligation by the Fund to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date at a price (in U.S. dollars) set at the time of the contract. The Fund does not engage in "cross-currency" foreign exchange contracts (i.e., contracts to purchase or sell one foreign currency in exchange for another foreign currency). The Fund's foreign 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 November 30, 2022, the Fund had no open forward foreign exchange currency contracts.
Investment Transactions and Related Income:
Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date or the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis.
Withholding taxes on interest, dividends, and gains as a result of certain investments in ADRs by the Fund have been provided for in accordance with each investment's applicable country's tax rules and rates.
Securities Lending:
The Fund, through a Securities Lending Agreement with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), may lend its securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers and banks, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. Borrowers are required to initially secure their loans for collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non-U.S. securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls associated with increases in the valuation of the securities loaned are generally cured the next business day. The collateral can be received in the form of cash collateral and/or non-cash collateral. Non-cash collateral can include U.S. Government Securities and other securities as permitted by Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidelines. The cash collateral is invested in short-term instruments or cash equivalents, primarily open-end investment companies, as noted on the Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The Fund effectively does not have control of the non-cash collateral and therefore it is
34
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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 November 30, 2022.
Value of Securities on Loan | | Non-Cash Collateral | | Cash Collateral | |
$ | 2,438 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 2,496 | | |
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. In October 2022, the Sweden Tax Authority issued favorable decisions relating to claims for Sweden. These reclaims are recorded when the amount is known and there are no significant uncertainties on collectability. For the six months ended November 30, 2022, the Fund recognized $46 thousand in reclaims. These reclaims are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Dividend Income.
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 May 31.
35
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
For the six months ended November 30, 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.
3. Purchases and Sales:
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) for the six months ended November 30, 2022, were as follows for the Fund (amounts in thousands):
Excluding U.S. Government Securities | |
Purchases | | Sales | |
$ | 214,421 | | | $ | 253,019 | | |
4. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties:
Investment Advisory Fees:
Investment advisory services are provided to the Fund by the Adviser, which is a New York corporation registered as an investment adviser with the SEC.
Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive a base fee and a performance adjustment. The Fund's base fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of 0.75% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the six months ended November 30, 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.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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 Global Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
For the period June 1, 2022, to November 30, 2022, there were no performance adjustments 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 six months ended November 30, 2022, the Fund had no subadvisers.

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 six months ended November 30, 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.

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 six months ended November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 2022, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.

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 six months ended November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 2022, the Distributor received less than $1 thousand from commissions earned in connection with sales of Class A.

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 September 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 November 30, 2022, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 1.09%, 1.00%, and 1.35% 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 November 30, 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 November 30, 2022.
Expires 2023 | | Expires 2024 | | Expires 2025 | | Expires 2026 | | Total | |
$ | 6 | | | $ | 37 | | | $ | 21 | | | $ | 26 | | | $ | 90 | | |

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.
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. Global markets, or those in a particular region, may all react in similar fashion to important political, economic, or other developments. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable and make such investments riskier and more volatile.
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 six months ended November 30, 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 June 1, 2022, 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 November 30, 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.

(Unaudited)
The average borrowing for the days outstanding and average interest rate for the Fund during the six months ended November 30, 2022, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Amount Outstanding at November 30, 2022 | | Average Borrowing* | | Days Borrowing Outstanding | | Average Interest Rate* | | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | |
$ | — | | | $ | 341 | | | | 2 | | | | 1.95 | % | | $ | 1,363 | | |
* For the six months ended November 30, 2022, based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding.
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 six months ended November 30, 2022, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Borrower or Lender | | Amount Outstanding at November 30, 2022 | | Average Borrowing* | | Days Borrowing Outstanding | | Average Interest Rate* | | Maximum Borrowing During the Period | |
Borrower | | $ | — | | | $ | 593 | | | | 1 | | | | 2.86 | % | | $ | 593 | | |
* For the six months ended November 30, 2022, based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding.
7. Federal Income Tax Information:
The Fund intends to distribute any net investment income annually. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively, distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (loss) will be determined at the end of the current tax year.
At the tax year ended May 31, 2022, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information
Proxy Voting:
Information regarding the policies and procedures the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling (800) 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 June 1, 2022, through November 30, 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 6/1/22 | | Actual Ending Account Value 11/30/22 | | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 11/30/22 | | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 6/1/22- 11/30/22* | | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 6/1/22- 11/30/22* | | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 6/1/22- 11/30/22 | |
Fund Shares | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 978.10 | | | $ | 1,019.60 | | | $ | 5.41 | | | $ | 5.52 | | | | 1.09 | % | |

* Expenses are equal to the average account value multiplied by the Fund's annualized expense ratio multiplied by 183/365 (the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year).

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
1. Organization:
USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 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 Government Securities 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.
Victory Capital Management ("VCM" or 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 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 (unadjusted) in active markets for identical securities
• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, or credit spreads, applicable to those securities, etc.)
• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser's 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.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
The Adviser, acting as the valuation designee 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.
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.
Repurchase agreements are valued at cost.
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 November 30, 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):

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.
Investments in repurchase agreements as presented on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments are not net settlement amounts but gross. At November 30, 2022, the value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements, reducing the net settlement amount to zero. Details on the collateral are included on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments.

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 generally take place within 35 days a month or more after the trade date. Securities that require more than 35 days to settle are considered a senior security and subject to Rule 18F-4. 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.
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 and recorded daily using the effective interest method which adjusts, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Interest income is recorded daily on the accrual basis. 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.

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.
As of November 30, 2022, the Fund did not have any securities on loan.
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 May 31.
For the six months ended November 30, 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.

USAA Target Retirement 2050 Fund | | | 2.3 | | |
USAA Target Retirement 2060 Fund | | | 0.5 | | |
5. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties:
Investment Advisory Fees:
Investment advisory services are provided to the Fund by the Adviser, which is a New York corporation registered as an investment adviser with the SEC.
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 0.125% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts incurred and paid to VCM for the six months ended November 30, 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 Intermediate U.S. Government Funds Index. The Lipper Intermediate U.S. Government Funds Index tracks the total return performance of the largest funds within the Lipper Intermediate U.S. Government 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
20
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
numerator of which is the number of days in the month and the denominator of which is 365 (366 in leap years). The resulting amount is then added to (in the case of overperformance), or subtracted from (in the case of underperformance) the base fee.
Under the performance fee arrangement, each class pays a positive performance fee adjustment for a performance period whenever the class outperforms the Lipper Intermediate U.S. Government Funds Index over that period, even if the class has overall negative returns during the performance period.
For the period June 1, 2022, to November 30, 2022, performance adjustments were $89, $183, $1, and $1 for Fund Shares, Institutional Shares, Class A, and R6 Shares, in thousands, respectively. Performance adjustments were 0.07%, 0.05%, 3.82%, and 0.22% 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 six months ended November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 2022, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.

(Unaudited)
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 six months ended November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 2022, the Distributor did not receive any commissions.
Other Fees:
Citibank serves as the Fund's custodian. The Fund pays Citibank a fee for providing these services. Amounts incurred for the six months ended November 30, 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 September 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 November 30, 2022, the expense limits (excluding voluntary waivers) were 0.48%, 0.39%, 0.75%, and 0.35% 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 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 November 30, 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 November 30, 2022.
Expires 2024 | | Expires 2025 | | Expires 2026 | | Total | |
$ | 25 | | | $ | 22 | | | $ | 18 | | | $ | 65 | | |
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. For the six months ended November 30, 2022, the Adviser voluntarily waived fees of $2 thousand.
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.
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 debt 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 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.
Prepayment and Extension Risk — Mortgage-backed securities make regularly scheduled payments of principal along with interest payments. In addition, mortgagors generally have the option of paying off their mortgages without penalty at any time. For example, when a mortgaged property is sold, the old mortgage is usually prepaid. Also, when interest rates fall, the mortgagor may refinance the mortgage and prepay the old mortgage. A homeowner's default on the mortgage also may cause a prepayment of the mortgage. This unpredictability of the mortgage's cash flow is called prepayment risk. For the investor, prepayment risk usually means that principal is received at the least opportune time. For example, when interest rates fall, homeowners may find it advantageous to refinance their mortgages and prepay principal. In this case, the investor is forced to reinvest the principal at the current lower rate. On the other hand, when interest rates rise, homeowners generally will not refinance their mortgages and prepayments will fall. This causes the average life of the mortgage to extend and be more sensitive to interest rates, which is called extension risk. In addition, the amount of principal the investor has to invest in these higher interest rates is reduced.
Liquidity Risk — Market developments and other factors, including a general rise in interest rates, have the potential to cause investors to move out of fixed-income securities on a large scale, which may increase redemptions from mutual funds that hold large amounts of fixed-income securities. Such a move, coupled with a reduction in the ability or willingness of dealers and other institutional investors to buy or hold fixed-income securities, may result in decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the fixed-income markets. Heavy redemptions of fixed-income mutual funds and decreased liquidity from fixed-income securities could hurt the Fund's performance. In addition, significant securities market disruptions related to outbreaks of COVID-19 have led to dislocation in the market for a variety of fixed-income securities (including municipal obligations), which has decreased liquidity and sharply reduced returns.
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
23
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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. The purpose of the Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the six months ended November 30, 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 June 1, 2022, 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 November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 2022.

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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 six months ended November 30, 2022.
8. Federal Income Tax Information:
Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. Distributions from the Fund's net investment income are accrued daily and distributed on the last business day of each month.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively, distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (loss) will be determined at the end of the current tax year.
At the tax year ended May 31, 2022, the Fund had net capital loss carryforwards as summarized in the table below (amounts in thousands). It is unlikely that the Board will authorize a distribution of capital gains realized in the future until the capital loss carryforwards have been used.
Short-Term Amount | | Total | |
$ | 5,027 | | | $ | 5,027 | | |
9. Subsequent Event:
On December 9, 2022, the Board of Trustees of USAA Mutual Funds Trust ("Trust"), upon the recommendation of Victory Capital Management Inc., the Trust's investment adviser, approved a Plan of Liquidation ("Plan") for the USAA Government Securities Fund Class A Shares (the "Share Class"). It is anticipated that the Share Class will liquidate on or about February 22, 2023.

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 June 1, 2022, through November 30, 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.

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

USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
1. Organization:
USAA Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 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 Treasury Money Market Trust (the "Fund"). The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.
The Fund operates as a government money market fund in compliance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act and as a government 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.
Victory Capital Management ("VCM" or 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 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 (unadjusted) in active markets for identical securities
• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, or credit spreads, applicable to those securities, etc.)
10
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser's assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The Adviser, acting as the valuation designee 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 and the Money Market Funds: Procedures to Stabilize Net Asset Value ("the Procedures"). 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 the 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.
Investments in repurchase agreements as presented on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments are not net settlement amounts but gross. At November 30, 2022, the value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements, reducing the net settlement amount to zero. Details on the collateral are included on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments.
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 May 31.
For the six months ended November 30, 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.
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.

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 six months ended November 30, 2022, are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Sub-Administration 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 September 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 November 30, 2022, the expense limit (excluding voluntary waivers) was 0.35%.
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.
In addition, the Adviser agreed to further reimburse fees in excess of the Fund's expense limit of 0.35%. These voluntary reductions, to the extent necessary, are to maintain a certain minimum net yield of the Fund. Under this agreement to reimburse additional fees, the Fund has agreed to repay fees and expenses that were waived or reimbursed by the Adviser for a period of up to three years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement took place, to the extent any repayments would not cause the Fund's net yield to fall below the Fund's minimum yield at the time of: (a) the original waiver or expense reimbursement; or (b) the expense limit in effect at the time of the extra waiver.
As of November 30, 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 November 30, 2022.
Expires 2023 | | Expires 2024 | | Expires 2025 | | Expires 2026 | | Total | |
$ | 745 | | | $ | 1,348 | | | $ | 1,298 | | | $ | 66 | | | $ | 3,457 | | |
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. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal
13
USAA Mutual Funds Trust | | Notes to Financial Statements — continued November 30, 2022 | |
(Unaudited)
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.
Interest Rate Risk — When interest rates rise, debt security prices generally fall. The opposite also generally is true: debt security prices rise when interest rates fall. Interest rate changes are influenced by a number of factors including government policy, monetary policy, inflation expectations, perceptions of risk, and supply and demand of debt securities. The Fund's yield will vary. A sharp and unexpected rise in interest rates could cause the Fund's share price to drop below a dollar. A low interest rate environment may prevent the Fund from providing a positive yield and could also impair the Fund's ability to maintain a stable net asset value.
Large-Shareholders Risk — The actions by one shareholder or multiple shareholders may have an impact on the Fund and, therefore, indirectly on other shareholders. Shareholder purchase and redemption activity may affect the per share amount of the Fund's distributions of its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, thereby affecting the tax burden on the Fund's shareholders subject to federal income tax. To the extent a larger shareholder (including, for example, an affiliated fund that operates as a fund-of-funds or 529 college savings plan) is permitted to invest in the Fund, the Fund may experience large inflows or outflows of cash from time to time. This activity could magnify these adverse effects on the Fund.
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 six months ended November 30, 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 June 1, 2022, 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 November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 2022.

6. Federal Income Tax Information:
The Fund intends to declare daily and distribute any net investment income monthly. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively, distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Fund may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (loss) will be determined at the end of the current tax year.
At the tax year ended May 31, 2022, the Fund had net capital loss carryforwards as summarized 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.

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 June 1, 2022, through November 30, 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 6/1/22 | | Actual Ending Account Value 11/30/22 | | Hypothetical Ending Account Value 11/30/22 | | Actual Expenses Paid During Period 6/1/22-11/30/22* | | Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period 6/1/22-11/30/22* | | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 6/1/22-11/30/22 | |
$ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,010.70 | | | $ | 1,023.31 | | | $ | 1.76 | | | $ | 1.78 | | | | 0.35 | % | |
* Expenses are equal to the average account value multiplied by the Fund's annualized expense ratio multiplied by 183/365 (the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year).
