PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
"BECAUSE OF THE INVERSE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
BOND PRICES AND YIELDS, LOWER PRICES MEAN
INVESTORS MAY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO [PHOTO OF DANIEL S. McNAMARA]
REINVEST AT HIGHER RATES AND POTENTIALLY
EARN MORE ON ANY NEW INVESTMENTS."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEPTEMBER 2013
Would it or wouldn't it? Would the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) begin to
reduce its bond-buying programs? Or would it continue purchasing bonds at the
same pace? And if the Fed decided to taper, when would the reductions begin and
how much would they be? The guessing game, which got underway in June after
remarks by Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, continued through the end of the reporting
period. As I've discussed in the past, the Fed is supporting the economy by
purchasing approximately $85 billion in mortgage-backed securities and long-term
U.S. Treasury securities every month. (This is commonly known as "quantitative
easing" or "QE"). In response to QE, long-term interest rates have fallen and
the stock and bond markets have rallied.
Most people acknowledge that QE can't go on forever, but the idea the Fed would
restrain a still fragile economy gave the markets pause. Interest rates rose
sharply (bond prices, which move in the opposite direction, declined). By
August, many investors had convinced themselves that the tapering announcement
would be made at the Fed's September policy meeting. Instead, the Fed backed
away from its prior guidance, saying it would continue buying the same amount of
bonds every month. In response, interest rates trended down slightly as the
markets began to price in the risks of a fiscal impasse in Washington, D.C.
During the reporting period, our USAA tax-exempt portfolios appeared to benefit
from our bench of independent credit analysts. Because of their diligence, many
of our mutual funds have avoided headline defaults and Chapter 9 bankruptcies
such as Detroit; Jefferson County, Alabama; and Stockton, San Bernardino,
Vallejo and Orange County, California. While headline events like these are
likely to occur (unfunded pensions remain a long-term concern of ours), overall
municipal credit quality appears to
================================================================================
================================================================================
remain solid. We continue to expect the default rate among municipal issuers to
remain extremely low. Meanwhile, our USAA tax-exempt money market funds are
yielding almost zero at the present time.
For fixed-income investors, the prospect of gradually rising interest rates
remains a mixed blessing. Higher rates mean a decrease in principal value.
However, because of the inverse relationship between bond prices and yields,
lower prices mean investors may have the opportunity to reinvest at higher rates
and potentially earn more on any new investments. Furthermore, fixed-income
investing is not an all or none scenario, and bonds continue to have a place in
a diversified portfolio. Lastly, people often forget the bond market is not one
market but is actually a market of many different types of bonds. While
investors tend to focus on U.S. Treasuries, there are other segments of the bond
market and they have performed differently (some better, some worse) during the
reporting period. Investors should take a diversified approach to their
fixed-income holdings.
If you think you might be over-allocated to fixed-income securities, you want to
reassess your investment risk and if necessary, rebalance your portfolio.
Regular rebalancing can potentially help you protect your gains and prepare for
what happens next. Shareholders should always remain disciplined and follow an
investment plan based on their objectives, risk tolerance and time horizon. If
you have questions or would like assistance, USAA advisors stand ready to help
you, free of charge.
In closing, I want to acknowledge the challenges that many people faced as a
result of the federal government shutdown. We are glad the impasse has been
temporarily resolved as of the time of this message. Rest assured, we will
continue to monitor events in Washington, D.C. and any other factors that may
affect your investments.
Thank you for your confidence in us.
Sincerely,
/S/ DANIEL S. MCNAMARA

FUND OBJECTIVE
THE USAA TAX EXEMPT INTERMEDIATE-TERM FUND (THE FUND) PROVIDES INVESTORS WITH
INTEREST INCOME THAT IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAX.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TYPES OF INVESTMENTS
The Fund invests primarily in investment-grade securities, the interest from
which is exempt from federal income tax. During normal market conditions, at
least 80% of the Fund's net assets will consist of tax-exempt securities. The
Fund's dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity is between three and 10 years.
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 set rate. However, you may elect not to
have withholding apply or to have income tax withheld at a higher rate. If you
wish to make such an election, please call USAA Asset Management Company at
(800) 531-USAA (8722).
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.

o HOW DID THE USAA TAX EXEMPT INTERMEDIATE-TERM FUND (THE FUND SHARES)
PERFORM DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD?
The Fund Shares provided a total return of -2.38% versus an average return
of -2.71% amongst the funds in the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds
category. This compares to returns of -2.37% for the Lipper Intermediate
Municipal Debt Funds Index and -3.15% for the Barclays Municipal Bond
Index. The Fund Shares' tax-exempt distributions over the prior 12 months
produced a dividend yield of 3.70% compared to the Lipper category average
of 2.40%.
o WHAT WERE THE MARKET CONDITIONS DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD?
In April, when the reporting period began, tax-exempt bonds posted gains,
benefiting from supportive supply and demand conditions and the strong
performance of U.S. Treasuries, which municipals tend to follow over time.
In early May, yields began to rise on speculation the Fed might start
scaling back its quantitative easing measures sooner than expected. Bond
prices, which move in the opposite direction of interest rates, declined.
Yields surged in June after U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) Chairman Ben
Bernanke suggested

================================================================================

================================================================================
tapering could start later in 2013. Investors, fearful that Fed tapering
would lead to higher interest rates, shifted assets away from bonds. The
large amount of redemptions from the municipal market drove down tax-exempt
bond prices further, fueling more selling. After the Fed reiterated that
any tapering would be data-dependent, municipal prices retraced some of
their losses in late June.
Municipal bond prices resumed their decline in July as investors sought to
divine the Fed's intentions. Yields increased, rising most in the longer
maturities. Also in July, the City of Detroit filed for bankruptcy
protection. Though widely anticipated, the bankruptcy likely contributed to
overall market volatility. By August, it was widely believed the Fed would
announce a reduction in its asset purchases following its September policy
meeting. Instead, the Fed surprised the markets, announcing in September
that it would make no changes to its bond-buying programs. U.S. Treasuries
and equities rallied on the news that the Fed would continue its easy
monetary policies at least in the near term. The tax-exempt market followed
suit. As municipal bond prices stabilized, redemptions slowed.
Intermediate-term municipal yields increased during the reporting period
overall. The yield on a 10-year AAA-rated municipal, which was 1.91% on
March 29, 2013, hit a high of 3.04% on September 5, 2013, and ended the
reporting period at 2.54%.
Tax-exempt supply decreased over the course of the reporting period. Early
on, many of the bonds issued were refunding bonds -- wherein issuers
replaced higher-yielding bonds with debt issued at lower interest rates --
and as a result, the net amount of tax-exempt supply in the market remained
relatively stable. As yields increased, bond issuance slowed. On the demand
side, as tax-exempt investors reduced their positions, "crossover buyers"
entered the market. During the reporting period, long-term municipal
yields were higher than the yields of U.S. Treasuries and comparably rated
corporate bonds on an absolute basis (not adjusting for the tax exemption).
This was attractive to crossover buyers, who typically do not buy municipal
debt but who purchased it opportunistically to take
================================================================================
MANAGERS' COMMENTARY ON THE FUND | 3
================================================================================
advantage of the attractive yields. Low supply and improving demand helped
stabilize municipal bond prices.
o WHAT STRATEGIES DID YOU EMPLOY DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD?
In keeping with our investment approach, we continued to focus on income
generation. The portfolio's long-term income distribution contributes the
majority of its total returns (see page 7). In recent years, the Fund's
income has declined as tax-exempt bonds rallied and yields fell. The
increase in tax-exempt yields during the reporting period gave us the
opportunity to purchase bonds with higher yields.
Our experienced credit analysts continued to evaluate the bonds we consider
for purchase and continuously monitored the holdings in the Fund. They have
a comprehensive approach to credit analysis, which includes a focus on both
an issuer's willingness and its ability to repay its debt -- an approach
that has served the Fund well. We believe events such as the Detroit
bankruptcy filing demonstrate the value of credit research in the municipal
market.
During the reporting period, we continued to maintain a diversified
portfolio of more than 500 municipal bonds. Because of our income focus,
the Fund is generally tilted toward bonds in the BBB and A rated
categories. To limit exposure to an unexpected event, the Fund is
diversified both by issuer and geographic area. We also avoid bonds subject
to the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals.
o WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK?
Looking ahead, we expect the U.S. economy to continue its "muddle through"
recovery with slow growth and low inflation in the near
================================================================================
4 | USAA TAX EXEMPT INTERMEDIATE-TERM FUND
================================================================================
term. According to consensus estimates, the 2013 gross domestic product
growth may remain below long-term averages. The Fed's decision not to taper
its asset purchase programs demonstrates that U.S. central bankers remain
concerned about the strength of economic growth and the level of
unemployment. Indeed, Fed Chairman Bernanke pointed to both issues in the
press conference that followed the Fed's September meeting.
As the economy continues to improve, and the market tries to anticipate
when the Fed will end its quantitative easing program, we expect to see
continued volatility in interest rates. Going forward, we expect the
tax-exempt market to take some of its direction from U.S. Treasuries. If
U.S. Treasury yields rise, municipal yields are likely to follow, but the
attractiveness of municipals relative to U.S. Treasuries should help
support municipal prices.
Though some state and local governments continue to face budgetary
challenges, we have confidence that they will continue working to maintain
fiscal balance. We do not expect a material change in the longstanding debt
repayment record of municipal issuers. Given the size and diversity of the
tax-exempt market, occasional one-off credit problems will likely continue,
but we expect them to remain the exception, not the rule.
Thank you for allowing us to serve your investment needs. We appreciate
your confidence in us.
As interest rates rise, existing bond prices fall. o Diversification is a

NOTE THE ROLE THAT DIVIDEND RETURNS PLAY IN THE FUND SHARES' TOTAL RETURN
OVER TIME. WHILE SHARE PRICES TEND TO VARY, DIVIDEND RETURNS GENERALLY ARE A
RELATIVELY STABLE COMPONENT OF TOTAL RETURNS.
Total return equals dividend return plus share price change and assumes
reinvestment of all net investment income and realized capital gain
distributions. Dividend return is the net investment income dividends received
over the period, assuming reinvestment of all dividends. Share price change is
the change in net asset value over the period adjusted for realized capital gain
distributions. The total returns quoted do not reflect adjustments made to the
enclosed financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles or the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on
distributions or the redemption of shares.

[END CHART]
Data from 9/30/03 through 9/30/13.
The graph illustrates the comparison of a $10,000 hypothetical investment in the
USAA Tax Exempt Intermediate-Term Fund Shares to the following benchmarks:
o The unmanaged, broad-based Barclays Municipal Bond Index tracks total
return performance for the long-term, investment-grade, tax-exempt bond
market. All tax-exempt bond funds will find it difficult to outperform the
index because the index does not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses,
or taxes.
o The unmanaged Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Index tracks the
total return performance of the 30 largest funds within the Lipper
Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds category.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results, and the cumulative
performance quoted does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder
would pay on distributions or the redemption of shares. Indexes are unmanaged
and you cannot invest directly in an index.

The 12-month dividend yield is computed by dividing net investment income
dividends paid during the previous 12 months by the latest adjusted month-end
net asset value. The net asset value is adjusted for a portion of the capital
gains distributed during the previous nine months. The graph represents data for
periods ending 9/30/04 to 9/30/13.
The Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Average is an average performance
level of all intermediate-term municipal debt funds, reported by Lipper Inc., an
independent organization that monitors the performance of mutual funds.

The four highest long-term credit ratings, in descending order of credit
quality, are AAA, AA, A, and BBB. These categories represent investment-grade
quality. This chart reflects the highest rating of a Nationally Recognized
Statistical Rating Organization (NRSRO). Any of the Fund's securities that are
not rated by these agencies appear in the chart above as "Unrated", but are
monitored and evaluated by USAA Asset Management Company on an ongoing basis.
Government securities that are issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest
by the U.S. government are not rated but are treated as AAA for credit quality
purposes. Securities within the Short-Term Investment-Grade category are those
that are ranked in the top two short-term credit ratings for the respective
rating agency (which are A-1 and A-2 for S&P and P-1 and P-2 for Moody's, F1 and
F2 for Fitch, and R-1 and R-2 for Dominion). Short-term ratings are generally
assigned to those obligations considered short-term; such obligations generally
have an original maturity not exceeding 13 months, unless explicitly noted. The
Below Investment-Grade category includes both long-term and short-term
securities.
Percentages are of the total market value of the Fund's investments.

o CATEGORIES AND DEFINITIONS
FIXED-RATE INSTRUMENTS - consist of municipal bonds, notes, and commercial
paper. The interest rate is constant to maturity. Prior to maturity, the
market price of a fixed-rate instrument generally varies inversely to the
movement of interest rates.
PUT BONDS - provide the right to sell the bond at face value at specific
tender dates prior to final maturity. The put feature shortens the
effective maturity of the security.
VARIABLE-RATE DEMAND NOTES (VRDNs) - provide the right to sell the security
at face value on either that day or within the rate-reset period. The
interest rate is adjusted at a stipulated daily, weekly, monthly,
quarterly, or other specified time interval to reflect current market
conditions. VRDNs will normally trade as if the maturity is the earlier put
date, even though stated maturity is longer.
ADJUSTABLE-RATE NOTES - similar to VRDNs in the fact that the interest rate
is adjusted periodically to reflect current market conditions. These
interest rates are adjusted at a given time, such as monthly or quarterly.
However, these securities do not offer the right to sell the security at
face value prior to maturity.
CREDIT ENHANCEMENTS - add the financial strength of the provider of the
enhancement to support the issuer's ability to repay the principal and
interest payments when due. The enhancement may be provided by a
high-quality bank, insurance company or other corporation, or a collateral
trust. The enhancements do not guarantee the market values of the
securities.
(INS) Principal and interest payments are insured by one of the following:
ACA Financial Guaranty Corp., AMBAC Assurance
================================================================================
16 | USAA TAX EXEMPT INTERMEDIATE-TERM FUND
================================================================================
Corp., Assured Guaranty Corp., Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp.,
Financial Guaranty Insurance Co., National Public Finance Guarantee
Corp., Radian Asset Assurance, Inc., or XL Capital Assurance.
Although bond insurance reduces the risk of loss due to default by
an issuer, such bonds remain subject to the risk that value may
fluctuate for other reasons, and there is no assurance that the
insurance company will meet its obligations.
(LIQ) Liquidity enhancement that may, under certain circumstances,
provide for repayment of principal and interest upon demand from
Bank of New York Mellon, DEPFA Bank plc, Dexia Credit Local,
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., or Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.
(LOC) Principal and interest payments are guaranteed by a bank letter of
credit or other bank credit agreement.
(NBGA) Principal and interest payments or, under certain circumstances,
underlying mortgages are guaranteed by a nonbank guarantee
agreement from one of the following: Federal Housing
Administration, Federal Housing Association Insured Mortgage
Nursing Home, or Texas Permanent School Fund.

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
USAA MUTUAL FUNDS TRUST (the Trust), registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), is an open-end management investment company
organized as a Delaware statutory trust consisting of 52 separate funds. The
information presented in this semiannual report pertains only to the USAA Tax
Exempt Intermediate-Term Fund (the Fund), which is classified as diversified
under the 1940 Act. The Fund's investment objective is to provide investors with
interest income that is exempt from federal income tax.
The Fund consists of two classes of shares: Tax Exempt Intermediate-Term Fund
Shares (Fund Shares) and Tax Exempt Intermediate-Term Fund Adviser Shares
(Adviser Shares). Each class of shares has equal rights to assets and earnings,
except that each class bears certain class-related expenses specific to the
particular class. These expenses include administration and servicing fees,
transfer agent fees, postage, shareholder reporting fees, distribution and
service (12b-1) fees, and certain registration and custodian fees. Expenses not
attributable to a specific class, income, and realized gains or losses on
investments are allocated to each class of shares based on each class's relative
net assets. Each class has exclusive voting rights on matters related solely to
that class and separate voting rights on matters that relate to both classes.
The Adviser Shares permit investors to purchase shares through financial
intermediaries, banks, broker-dealers, insurance companies, investment advisers,
plan sponsors, and financial professionals that provide various administrative
and distribution services.
A. SECURITY VALUATION -- The Trust's Board of Trustees (the Board) has
established the Valuation Committee (the Committee), and subject to Board
oversight, the Committee administers and oversees the Fund's
================================================================================
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | 41
================================================================================
valuation policies and procedures which are approved by the Board. Among
other things, these policies and procedures allow the Fund to utilize
independent pricing services, quotations from securities dealers, and a wide
variety of sources and information to establish and adjust the fair value of
securities as events occur and circumstances warrant.
The Committee reports to the Board on a quarterly basis and makes
recommendations to the Board as to pricing methodologies and services used
by the Fund and presents additional information to the Board regarding
application of the pricing and fair valuation policies and procedures during
the preceding quarter.
The Committee meets as often as necessary to make pricing and fair value
determinations. In addition, the Committee holds regular monthly meetings to
review prior actions taken by the Committee and USAA Asset Management
Company (the Manager). Among other things, these monthly meetings include a
review and analysis of back testing reports, pricing service quotation
comparisons, illiquid securities and fair value determinations, pricing
movements, and daily stale price monitoring.
The value of each security is determined (as of the close of trading on the
New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each business day the NYSE is open) as set
forth below:
1. Debt securities with maturities greater than 60 days are valued each
business day by a pricing service (the Service) approved by the Board.
The Service uses an evaluated mean between quoted bid and asked prices or
the last sales price to price securities when, in the Service's judgment,
these prices are readily available and are representative of the
securities' market values. For many securities, such prices are not
readily available. The Service generally prices these securities based on
methods that include consideration of yields or prices of tax-exempt
securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, and type; indications
as to values from dealers in securities; and general market conditions.
2. Debt securities purchased with original or remaining maturities of 60
days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates market
value.
================================================================================
42 | USAA TAX EXEMPT INTERMEDIATE-TERM FUND
================================================================================
3. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are
considered unreliable, or whose values have been materially affected by
events occurring after the close of their primary markets but before the
pricing of the Fund, are valued in good faith at fair value, using
methods determined by the Manager, an affiliate of the Fund, under
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 net asset value (NAV) to be more reliable than it otherwise
would be.
Fair value methods used by the Manager include, but are not limited to,
obtaining market quotations from secondary pricing services,
broker-dealers, or widely used quotation systems. General factors
considered in determining the fair value of securities include
fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of any restrictions
on disposition of the securities, and an evaluation of the forces that
influenced the market in which the securities are purchased and sold.
B. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS -- 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
three-level valuation hierarchy disclosed in the portfolio of investments
is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or
liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as
follows:
Level 1 -- inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices
(unadjusted) in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 -- inputs to the valuation methodology are other significant
observable inputs, including quoted prices for similar securities, inputs
that are observable for the securities, either directly or indirectly, and
market-corroborated inputs such as market indices. Level 2 securities
include variable-rate demand notes which are
================================================================================
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | 43
================================================================================
valued at amortized cost. All other level 2 securities are valued based on
methods discussed in Note 1A1.
Level 3 -- inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and
significant to the fair value measurement, including the Manager's own
assumptions in determining the fair value.
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily
an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
C. FEDERAL TAXES -- The Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements of
the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and
to distribute substantially all of its income to its shareholders.
Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
D. INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES -- Security transactions are accounted for on the
date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Gains or losses
from sales of investment securities are computed on the identified cost
basis. Interest income is recorded daily on the accrual basis. Premiums and
discounts are amortized over the life of the respective securities, using
the effective yield method for long-term securities and the straight-line
method for short-term securities.
E. SECURITIES PURCHASED 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 can take place a month or more after
the trade date. During the period prior to settlement, these securities do
not earn interest, are subject to market fluctuation, and may increase or
decrease in value prior to their delivery. The Fund maintains segregated
assets with a market value equal to or greater than the amount of its
purchase commitments. The purchase of securities on a delayed-delivery or
when-issued basis may increase the volatility of the Fund's NAV to the
extent that the Fund makes such purchases while remaining substantially
fully invested. As of September 30, 2013, the Fund's outstanding
delayed-delivery commitments, including interest purchased, were
$2,722,000; all of which were when-issued securities.
================================================================================
44 | USAA TAX EXEMPT INTERMEDIATE-TERM FUND
================================================================================
F. EXPENSES PAID INDIRECTLY -- Through arrangements with the Fund's custodian
and other banks utilized by the Fund for cash management purposes, realized
credits, if any, generated from cash balances in the Fund's bank accounts
may be used to directly reduce the Fund's expenses. For the six-month
period ended September 30, 2013, there were no custodian and other bank
credits.
G. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- 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 Trust. In addition, in the
normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that contain a
variety of representations and warranties that provide general
indemnifications. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is
unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the
Trust that have not yet occurred. However, the Trust expects the risk of
loss to be remote.
H. USE OF ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts in the
financial statements.
(2) LINE OF CREDIT
The Fund participates in a joint, short-term, revolving, committed loan
agreement of $500 million with USAA Capital Corporation (CAPCO), an affiliate of
the Manager. The purpose of the agreement is to meet temporary or emergency cash
needs, including redemption requests that might otherwise require the untimely
disposition of securities. Subject to availability, the Fund may borrow from
CAPCO an amount up to 5% of the Fund's total assets at an interest rate based on
the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR).
The USAA Funds that are party to the loan agreement are assessed facility fees
by CAPCO in the amount of 7.0 basis points of the amount of the committed loan
agreement. The facility fee rate remains unchanged from September 30, 2012, to
September 30, 2013. The facility fees are
================================================================================
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | 45
================================================================================
allocated among the Funds based on their respective average net assets for the
period.
For the six-month period ended September 30, 2013, the Fund paid CAPCO facility
fees of $9,000, which represents 5.2% of the total fees paid to CAPCO by the
USAA Funds. The Fund had no borrowings under this agreement during the six-month
period ended September 30, 2013.
(3) DISTRIBUTIONS
The tax basis of distributions and accumulated undistributed net investment
income will be determined based upon the Fund's tax year-end of March 31, 2014,
in accordance with applicable tax law.
Net investment income is accrued daily as dividends and distributed to
shareholders monthly. Distributions of realized gains from security transactions
not offset by capital losses are made annually in the succeeding fiscal year or
as otherwise required to avoid the payment of federal taxes.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act) a
fund is permitted to carry forward net capital losses indefinitely.
Additionally, such capital losses that are carried forward will retain their
character as short-term and or long-term capital losses. Post-enactment capital
loss carryforwards must be used before pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards.
As a result, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to
expire unused.
At March 31, 2013, the Fund had no pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards and
post-enactment long-term capital loss carryfowards of $8,950,000, for federal
income tax purposes. 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 or expire.
For the six-month period ended September 30, 2013, the Fund did not incur any
income tax, interest, or penalties, and has recorded no liability for net
unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions. On an
ongoing basis the Manager will monitor its tax positions to determine if
adjustments to this conclusion are necessary. The statute of limitations on the
Fund's tax return filings generally remain open for
================================================================================
46 | USAA TAX EXEMPT INTERMEDIATE-TERM FUND
================================================================================
the three preceding fiscal reporting year ends and remain subject to examination
by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
(4) INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Cost of purchases and proceeds from sales/maturities of securities, excluding
short-term securities, for the six-month period ended September 30, 2013, were
$180,199,000 and $197,460,000, respectively.
As of September 30, 2013, the cost of securities, including short-term
securities, for federal income tax purposes, was approximately the same as that
reported in the financial statements.
Gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments as of September
30, 2013, were $144,072,000 and $44,738,000, respectively, resulting in net
unrealized appreciation of $99,334,000.
(5) CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS
At September 30, 2013, there were an unlimited number of shares of capital stock
at no par value authorized for the Fund.
Capital share transactions for all classes were as follows, in thousands:

(6) TRANSACTIONS WITH MANAGER
A. MANAGEMENT FEES -- The Manager carries out the Fund's investment policies
and manages the Fund's portfolio pursuant to an Advisory Agreement. The
investment management fee for the Fund is composed of a base investment
management fee and a performance adjustment. The Fund's base investment
management fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate of
0.28% of the Fund's average net assets for the fiscal year.
The performance adjustment is calculated separately for each share class on
a monthly basis by comparing each class's performance to that of the Lipper
Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Index over the performance period. The
Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Index tracks the total return
performance of the 30 largest funds in the Lipper Intermediate Municipal
Debt Funds category. The performance period for each 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 ANNUAL ADJUSTMENT RATE
RELATIVE TO INDEX(1) AS A % OF THE FUND'S AVERAGE NET ASSETS(1)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+/- 0.20% to 0.50% +/- 0.04%
+/- 0.51% to 1.00% +/- 0.05%
+/- 1.01% and greater +/- 0.06%
(1)Based on the difference between average annual performance of the
relevant share class of the Fund and its relevant index, rounded to the
nearest basis point (0.01%). Average net assets of the share class are
calculated over a rolling 36-month period.
Each class's annual performance adjustment rate is multiplied by the average
net assets of each respective class over the entire performance period,
which is then multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number
of days in the month and the denominator of which is 365 (366 in leap
years). The resulting amount is the performance adjustment; a positive
adjustment in the case of overperformance, or a negative adjustment in the
case of underperformance.
================================================================================
48 | USAA TAX EXEMPT INTERMEDIATE-TERM FUND
================================================================================
Under the performance fee arrangement, each class will pay a positive
performance fee adjustment for a performance period whenever the class
outperforms the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Index over that
period, even if the class had overall negative returns during the
performance period.
For the six-month period ended September 30, 2013, the Fund incurred total
management fees, paid or payable to the Manager, of $5,505,000, which
included a performance adjustment for the Fund Shares and Adviser Shares of
$935,000 and $2,000, respectively. For the Fund Shares and Adviser Shares,
the performance adjustments were 0.06% and 0.04%, respectively.
B. ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING FEES -- The Manager provides certain
administration and servicing functions for the Fund. For such services, the
Manager receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annualized rate
of 0.15% of average net assets for both the Fund Shares and Adviser Shares.
For the six-month period ended September 30, 2013, the Fund Shares and
Adviser Shares incurred administration and servicing fees, paid or payable
to the Manager, of $2,442,000 and $5,000, respectively.
In addition to the services provided under its Administration and Servicing
Agreement with the Fund, the Manager also provides certain compliance and
legal services for the benefit of the Fund. The Board has approved the
reimbursement of a portion of these expenses incurred by the Manager. For
the six-month period ended September 30, 2013, the Fund reimbursed the
Manager $46,000 for these compliance and legal services. These expenses are
included in the professional fees on the Fund's statement of operations.
C. EXPENSE LIMITATION -- The Manager has agreed, through August 1, 2014, to
limit the annual expenses of the Adviser Shares to 0.75% of its average net
assets, excluding extraordinary expenses and before reductions of any
expenses paid indirectly, and will reimburse the Adviser Shares for all
expenses in excess of that amount. This expense limitation arrangement may
not be changed or terminated through
================================================================================
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | 49
================================================================================
August 1, 2014, without approval of the Board, and may be changed or
terminated by the Manager at any time after that date. For the six-month
period ended September 30, 2013, the Adviser Shares incurred reimbursable
expenses of $14,000, of which less than $500 was receivable from the
Manager.
D. TRANSFER AGENT'S FEES -- USAA Transfer Agency Company, d/b/a USAA
Shareholder Account Services (SAS), an affiliate of the Manager, provides
transfer agent services to the Fund. Transfer agent's fees for both the Fund
Shares and Adviser Shares are paid monthly based on an annual charge of
$25.50 per shareholder account plus out-of-pocket expenses. Each class also
pays SAS fees that are related to the administration and servicing of
accounts that are traded on an omnibus basis. For the six-month period ended
September 30, 2013, the Fund Shares and Adviser Shares incurred transfer
agent's fees, paid or payable to SAS, of $530,000 and less than $500,
respectively.
E. DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE (12b-1) FEES -- The Fund has adopted a plan
pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Adviser
Shares. Under the plan, the Adviser Shares pay fees to USAA Investment
Management Company, the distributor, for distribution and shareholder
services. USAA Investment Management Company pays all or a portion of such
fees to intermediaries that make the Adviser Shares available for investment
by their customers. The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual
rate of 0.25% of the Adviser Shares' average net assets. Adviser Shares are
offered and sold without imposition of an initial sales charge or a
contingent deferred sales charge. For the six-month period ended September
30, 2013, the Adviser Shares incurred distribution and service (12b-1) fees
of $9,000.
F. UNDERWRITING SERVICES -- USAA Investment Management Company provides
exclusive underwriting and distribution of the Fund's shares on a continuing
best-efforts basis and receives no commissions or fees for this service.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE
September 30, 2013 (unaudited)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXAMPLE
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: direct costs, such
as wire fees, redemption fees, and low balance fees; and indirect costs,
including management fees, transfer agency fees, distribution and service
(12b-1) fees, and other Fund operating expenses. This example is intended to
help you understand your indirect costs, also referred to as "ongoing costs" (in
dollars), of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing
costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the
period and held for the entire six-month period of April 1, 2013, through
September 30, 2013.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The line labeled "actual" under each share class in the table on the next page
provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may
use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested at the
beginning of the period, 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 for your share
class in the "actual" line under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period" to
estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The line labeled "hypothetical" under each share class in the table provides
information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on
the Fund's actual expense ratios for each class and an assumed rate of return of
5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's
================================================================================
54 | USAA TAX EXEMPT INTERMEDIATE-TERM FUND
================================================================================
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 the ongoing costs of investing in the
Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5%
hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your
ongoing costs only and do not reflect any direct costs, such as wire fees,
redemption fees, or low balance fees. Therefore, the line labeled "hypothetical"
is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the
relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these direct
costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

the six-month period of April 1, 2013, through September 30, 2013.

ADVISORY AGREEMENT
September 30, 2013 (unaudited)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees (the Board) held on April 30, 2013, the
Board, including the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust (the
Independent Trustees), approved for an annual period the continuance of the
Advisory Agreement between the Trust and the Manager with respect to the Fund.
In advance of the meeting, the Trustees received and considered a variety of
information relating to the Advisory Agreement and the Manager and were given
the opportunity to ask questions and request additional information from
management. The information provided to the Board included, among other things:
(i) a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a
statistical analysis comparing the Fund's investment performance, expenses, and
fees to comparable investment companies; (ii) information concerning the
services rendered to the Fund, as well as information regarding the Manager's
revenues and costs of providing services to the Fund and compensation paid to
affiliates of the Manager; and (iii) information about the Manager's operations
and personnel. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees reviewed the proposed
continuation of the Advisory Agreement with management and with experienced
independent counsel and received materials from such counsel discussing the
legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the
Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund. The Independent Trustees also
reviewed the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the
Fund in private sessions with their counsel at which no representatives of
management were present.
At each regularly scheduled meeting of the Board and its committees, the Board
receives and reviews, among other things, information concerning the Fund's
performance and related services provided by the Manager. At the meeting at
which the renewal of the Advisory Agreement is considered,
================================================================================
56 | USAA TAX EXEMPT INTERMEDIATE-TERM FUND
================================================================================
particular focus is given to information concerning Fund performance,
comparability of fees and total expenses, and profitability. However, the Board
noted that the evaluation process with respect to the Manager is an ongoing one.
In this regard, the Board's and its committees' consideration of the Advisory
Agreement included information previously received at such meetings.
ADVISORY AGREEMENT
After full consideration of a variety of factors, the Board, including the
Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Advisory Agreement. In approving the
Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as
controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to various
factors. Throughout their deliberations, the Independent Trustees were
represented and assisted by independent counsel.
NATURE, EXTENT, AND QUALITY OF SERVICES -- In considering the nature, extent,
and quality of the services provided by the Manager under the Advisory
Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Manager relating to
its operations and personnel. The Board also took into account its knowledge of
the Manager's management and the quality of the performance of its duties
through Board meetings, discussions, and reports during the preceding year. The
Board considered the fees paid to the Manager and the services provided to the
Fund by the Manager under the Advisory Agreement, as well as other services
provided by the Manager and its affiliates under other agreements, and the
personnel who provide these services. In addition to the investment advisory
services provided to the Fund, the Manager and its affiliates provide
administrative services, stockholder services, oversight of Fund accounting,
marketing services, assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, and
other services necessary for the operation of the Fund and the Trust.
The Board considered the Manager's management style and the performance of its
duties under the Advisory Agreement. The Board considered the level and depth of
knowledge of the Manager, including the professional experience and
qualifications of its senior and investment personnel, as well as current
staffing levels. The allocation of the Fund's
================================================================================
ADVISORY AGREEMENT | 57
================================================================================
brokerage, including the Manager's process for monitoring "best execution," also
was considered. The Manager's role in coordinating the activities of the Fund's
other service providers also was considered. The Board also considered the
Manager's risk management processes. The Board considered the Manager's
financial condition and that it had the financial wherewithal to continue to
provide the same scope and high quality of services under the Advisory
Agreement. In reviewing the Advisory Agreement, the Board focused on the
experience, resources, and strengths of the Manager and its affiliates in
managing the Fund, as well as the other funds in the Trust.
The Board also reviewed the compliance and administrative services provided to
the Fund by the Manager and its affiliates, including the Manager's oversight of
the Fund's day-to-day operations and oversight of Fund accounting. The Trustees,
guided also by information obtained from their experiences as trustees of the
Trust, also focused on the quality of the Manager's compliance and
administrative staff.
EXPENSES AND PERFORMANCE -- In connection with its consideration of the Advisory
Agreement, the Board evaluated the Fund's advisory fees and total expense ratio
as compared to other open-end investment companies deemed to be comparable to
the Fund as determined by the independent third party in its report. The Fund's
expenses were compared to (i) a group of investment companies chosen by the
independent third party to be comparable to the Fund based upon certain factors,
including fund type, comparability of investment objective and classification,
sales load type (in this case, investment companies with front-end loads or with
no sales loads), asset size, and expense components (the "expense group") and
(ii) a larger group of investment companies that includes all no-load and
front-end load retail open-end investment companies in similar investment
classifications/objectives as the Fund regardless of asset size, excluding
outliers (the "expense universe"). Among other data, the Board noted that the
Fund's management fee rate -- which includes advisory and administrative
services and the effects of any performance adjustment -- was below the median
of its expense group and above the median of its expense universe. The data
indicated that the Fund's total expense ratio was below the median of its
expense group
================================================================================
58 | USAA TAX EXEMPT INTERMEDIATE-TERM FUND
================================================================================
and its expense universe. The Board took into account the various services
provided to the Fund by the Manager and its affiliates, including the high
quality of services provided by the Manager. The Board also noted the level and
method of computing the management fee, including any performance adjustment to
such fee.
In considering the Fund's performance, the Board noted that it reviews at its
regularly scheduled meetings information about the Fund's performance results.
The Trustees also reviewed various comparative data provided to them in
connection with their consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Agreement,
including, among other information, a comparison of the Fund's average annual
total return with its Lipper index and with that of other mutual funds deemed to
be in its peer group by the independent third party in its report (the
"performance universe"). The Fund's performance universe consisted of the Fund
and all retail and institutional open-end investment companies with the same
classification/objective as the Fund regardless of asset size or primary channel
of distribution. This comparison indicated that, among other data, the Fund's
performance was above the average of its performance universe and its Lipper
index for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2012. The
Board also noted that the Fund's percentile performance ranking was in the top
10% of its performance universe for the one-, three-, and five-year periods
ended December 31, 2012.
COMPENSATION AND PROFITABILITY -- The Board took into consideration the level
and method of computing the management fee. The information considered by the
Board included operating profit margin information for the Manager's business as
a whole. The Board also received and considered profitability information
related to the management revenues from the Fund. This information included a
review of the methodology used in the allocation of certain costs to the Fund.
The Trustees reviewed the profitability of the Manager's relationship with the
Fund before tax expenses. In reviewing the overall profitability of the
management fee to the Manager, the Board also considered the fact that
affiliates provide shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Fund
for which they receive compensation. The Board also considered the possible
================================================================================
ADVISORY AGREEMENT | 59
================================================================================
direct and indirect benefits to the Manager from its relationship with the
Trust, including that the Manager may derive reputational and other benefits
from its association with the Fund. The Board also took into account the high
quality of services received by the Fund from the Manager. The Trustees
recognized that the Manager should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of
profits in exchange for the level of services it provides to the Fund and the
entrepreneurial risk that it assumes as Manager.
ECONOMIES OF SCALe -- The Board considered whether there should be changes in
the management fee rate or structure in order to enable the Fund to participate
in any economies of scale. The Board took into account management's discussion
of the current advisory fee structure. The Board also considered the effect of
the Fund's growth and size on its performance and fees, noting that if the
Fund's assets increase over time, the Fund may realize other economies of scale
if assets increase proportionally more than some expenses. The Board determined
that the current investment management fee structure was reasonable.
CONCLUSIONS -- The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Fund's
Advisory Agreement with the Manager, among others: (i) the Manager has
demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the
duties required of it under the Advisory Agreement; (ii) the Manager maintains
an appropriate compliance program; (iii) the performance of the Fund is
reasonable in relation to the performance of funds with similar investment
objectives and to relevant indices; (iv) the Fund's advisory expenses are
reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to the services to be
provided by the Manager; and (v) the Manager's level of profitability from its
relationship with the Fund is reasonable in light of the nature and high quality
of services provided by the Manager and the type of fund. Based on its
conclusions, the Board determined that continuation of the Advisory Agreement
would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
