(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESUSAA MUTUAL FUNDS TRUST (the Trust), registered under theInvestment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), is an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutorytrust consisting of 51 separate funds. The USAA Aggressive Growth Fund(the Fund) qualifies as a registered investment company under AccountingStandards Codification Topic 946. The information presented in thissemiannual report pertains only to the Fund, which is classified as diversifiedunder the 1940 Act. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capitalappreciation.

The Fund consists of two classes of shares: Aggressive Growth Fund Shares(Fund Shares) and Aggressive Growth Fund Institutional Shares (InstitutionalShares). Each class of shares has equal rights to assets and earnings, except thateach 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, and certain registration and custodian fees.Expenses not attributable to a specific class, income, and realized gains or losseson investments are allocated to each class of shares based on each class’ relativenet assets. Each class has exclusive voting rights on matters related solely to thatclass and separate voting rights on matters that relate to all classes. TheInstitutional Shares are available for investment through a USAA discretionarymanaged account program, and certain advisory programs sponsored byfinancial intermediaries, such as brokerage firms, investment advisors, financialplanners, third-party administrators, and insurance companies. InstitutionalShares also are available to institutional investors, which include retirementplans, endowments, foundations, and bank trusts, as well as other persons orlegal entities that the Fund may approve from time to time, or for purchase by aUSAA fund participating in a fund-of-funds investment strategy (USAA fund-of-funds).


A. Security valuation – The Trust’s Board of Trustees (the Board) hasestablished the Valuation Committee (the Committee), and subject toBoard oversight, the Committee administers and oversees the Fund’svaluation policies and procedures, which are approved by the Board.Among other things, these policies and procedures allow the Fund toutilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities dealers,and a wide variety of sources and information to establish and adjust thefair value of securities as events occur and circumstances warrant.

The Committee reports to the Board on a quarterly basis and makesrecommendations to the Board as to pricing methodologies and servicesused by the Fund and presents additional information to the Boardregarding application of the pricing and fair valuation policies andprocedures during the preceding quarter.

The Committee meets as often as necessary to make pricing and fairvalue determinations. In addition, the Committee holds regular monthlymeetings to review prior actions taken by the Committee and USAAAsset Management Company (the Manager), an affiliate of the Fund.Among other things, these monthly meetings include a review andanalysis of backtesting reports, pricing service quotation comparisons,illiquid securities and fair value determinations, pricing movements, anddaily stale price monitoring.

The value of each security is determined (as of the close of trading onthe New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each business day the NYSEis open) as set forth below:

1. Equity securities, including exchange-traded funds (ETFs), except asotherwise noted, traded primarily on a domestic securities exchangeor the over-the-counter markets, are valued at the last sales price orofficial closing price on the exchange or primary market on whichthey trade. Securities traded primarily on foreign securitiesexchanges or markets are valued at the last quoted sale price, or themost recently determined official closing price calculated accordingto local market convention, available at the time the Fund is valued.If no last sale or official closing price is reported or available, theaverage of the bid and ask prices generally is used. Actively traded


equity securities listed on a domestic exchange generally arecategorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Certain preferredand equity securities traded in inactive markets generally arecategorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

2. Equity securities trading in various foreign markets may take placeon days when the NYSE is closed. Further, when the NYSE is open,the foreign markets may be closed. Therefore, the calculation of theFund’s net asset value (NAV) may not take place at the same time theprices of certain foreign securities held by the Fund are determined.In many cases, events affecting the values of foreign securities thatoccur between the time of their last quoted sale or official closingprice and the close of normal trading on the NYSE on a day theFund’s NAV is calculated will not need to be reflected in the value ofthe Fund’s foreign securities. However, the Manager will monitor forevents that would materially affect the value of the Fund’s foreignsecurities and the Committee will consider such available informationthat it deems relevant and will determine a fair value for the affectedforeign securities in accordance with valuation procedures. Inaddition, information from an external vendor or other sources maybe used to adjust the foreign market closing prices of foreign equitysecurities to reflect what the Committee believes to be the fair valueof the securities as of the close of the NYSE. Fair valuation ofaffected foreign equity securities may occur frequently based on anassessment that events which occur on a fairly regular basis (such asU.S. market movements) are significant. Such securities arecategorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

3. Investments in open-end investment companies, commingled, orother funds, other than ETFs, are valued at their NAV at the end ofeach business day and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair valuehierarchy.

4. Short-term debt securities with original or remaining maturities of60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, provided thatamortized cost represents the fair value of such securities.


5. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost.

6. In the event that price quotations or valuations are not readilyavailable, are not reflective of market value, or a significant event hasbeen recognized in relation to a security or class of securities, thesecurities are valued in good faith by the Committee in accordancewith valuation procedures approved by the Board. The effect of fairvalue pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis ofquotations from the primary market in which they are traded andthe actual price realized from the sale of a security may differmaterially from the fair value price. Valuing these securities at fairvalue is intended to cause the Fund’s NAV to be more reliable than itotherwise would be.

Fair value methods used by the Manager include, but are not limitedto, obtaining market quotations from secondary pricing services,broker-dealers, other pricing services, or widely used quotationsystems. General factors considered in determining the fair value ofsecurities include fundamental analytical data, the nature andduration of any restrictions on disposition of the securities,evaluation of credit quality, and an evaluation of the forces thatinfluenced the market in which the securities are purchased and sold.

B. Fair value measurements – Fair value is defined as the price that would bereceived to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderlytransaction between market participants at the measurement date. Thethree-level valuation hierarchy disclosed in the Portfolio of Investmentsis based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset orliability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined asfollows:

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 significantobservable inputs, including quoted prices for similar securities, inputsthat are observable for the securities, either directly or indirectly, andmarket-corroborated inputs such as market indexes.


Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable andsignificant to the fair value measurement, including the Manager’s ownassumptions in determining the fair value.

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are notnecessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in thosesecurities.

C. Federal taxes – The Fund’s policy is to comply with the requirements ofthe Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulatedinvestment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxableincome and net capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. Therefore, nofederal income tax provision is required.

For the six-month period ended January 31, 2018, the Fund did notincur any income tax, interest, or penalties, and has recorded no liabilityfor net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income taxpositions. On an ongoing basis, the Manager will monitor the Fund’s taxbasis to determine if adjustments to this conclusion are necessary. Thestatute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remainopen for the three preceding fiscal reporting year ends and remainsubject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxingauthorities.

D. Foreign taxation – Foreign income and capital gains on some foreignsecurities may be subject to foreign taxes, which are reflected as areduction to such income and realized gains. The Fund records a liabilitybased on unrealized gains to provide for potential foreign taxes payableupon the sale of these securities. Foreign taxes have been provided for inaccordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable countries’prevailing tax rules and rates.

E. Investments in securities – Securities transactions are accounted for onthe date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Gains or lossesfrom sales of investment securities are computed on the identified costbasis. Dividend income, less foreign taxes, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date. If the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends fromforeign securities are recorded upon notification. Interest income isrecorded daily on the accrual basis. Premiums and discounts on short-term


securities are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of therespective securities.

F. Foreign currency translations – The Fund’s assets may be invested in thesecurities of foreign issuers and may be traded in foreign currency. Sincethe Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars, foreigncurrency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following bases:

1. Purchases and sales of securities, income, and expenses at the exchangerate obtained from an independent pricing service on the respectivedates of such transactions.

2. Market value of securities, other assets, and liabilities at the exchangerate obtained from an independent pricing service on a daily basis.

The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operationsresulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from thefluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Suchfluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or lossfrom investments.

Separately, net realized foreign currency gains/losses may arise from salesof foreign currency, currency gains/losses realized between the trade andsettlement dates on security transactions, and from the differencebetween amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxesrecorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of theamounts received. At the end of the Fund’s fiscal year, net realizedforeign currency gains/losses are reclassified from accumulated netrealized gains/losses to accumulated undistributed net investment incomeon the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, as such amounts are treatedas ordinary income/loss for federal income tax purposes. Net unrealizedforeign currency exchange gains/losses arise from changes in the value ofassets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, resulting fromchanges in the exchange rate.

G. Expenses paid indirectly – A portion of the brokerage commissions thatthe Fund pays may be recaptured as a credit that is tracked and used bythe custodian to directly reduce expenses paid by the Fund. In addition,through arrangements with the Fund’s custodian and other banks


utilized by the Fund for cash management purposes, realized credits, ifany, generated from cash balances in the Fund’s bank accounts may beused to directly reduce the Fund’s expenses. For the six-month periodended January 31, 2018, brokerage commission recapture credits reducedthe expenses of the Fund Shares and Institutional Shares by $4,000 andless than $500, respectively. Additionally, there were no custodian andother bank credits.

H. Indemnifications – Under the Trust’s organizational documents, itsofficers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising outof the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normalcourse of business, the Trust enters into contracts that contain a varietyof representations and warranties that provide general indemnifications.The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, asthis would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust thathave not yet occurred. However, the Trust expects the risk of loss to beremote.

I. Use of estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformitywith U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires managementto make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amountsin the financial statements.

(2) LINE OF CREDITThe Fund participates, along with other funds of the Trust and USAA ETFTrust (together, the Trusts), in a joint, short-term, revolving, committed loanagreement of $500 million with USAA Capital Corporation (CAPCO), anaffiliate of the Manager. The purpose of the agreement is to providetemporary or emergency cash needs, including redemption requests thatmight otherwise require the untimely disposition of securities. Subject toavailability (including usage of the facility by other funds of the Trusts), theFund may borrow from CAPCO an amount up to 5% of the Fund’s totalassets at an interest rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate(LIBOR), plus 100.0 basis points.

The Trusts are also assessed facility fees by CAPCO in the amount of 13.0basis points of the amount of the committed loan agreement. Prior to


September 30, 2017, the maximum annual facility fee was 12.0 basis pointsof the amount of the committed loan agreement. The facility fees areallocated among the funds of the Trusts based on their respective average netassets for the period.

The Trusts may request an optional increase of the committed loanagreement from $500 million up to $750 million. If the Trusts increase thecommitted loan agreement, the assessed facility fee on the amount of theadditional commitment will be 14.0 basis points.

For the six-month period ended January 31, 2018, the Fund paid CAPCOfacility fees of $5,000, which represents 2.0% of the total fees paid toCAPCO by the funds of the Trusts. The Fund had no borrowings under thisagreement during the six-month period ended January 31, 2018.

(3) DISTRIBUTIONSThe tax basis of distributions and accumulated undistributed net investmentincome will be determined as of the Fund’s tax year-end of July 31, 2018, inaccordance with applicable federal tax law.

Distributions of net investment income and realized gains from securitytransactions not offset by capital losses are made annually in the succeedingfiscal year or as otherwise required to avoid the payment of federal taxes.

At July 31, 2017, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards, for federalincome tax purposes.

As of January 31, 2018, the cost of securities, including short-term securities,for federal income tax purposes, was approximately the same as the costreported in the financial statements.

Gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments as ofJanuary 31, 2018, were $604,890,000 and $3,552,000, respectively, resulting innet unrealized appreciation of $601,338,000.

(4) INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONSCost of purchases and proceeds from sales/maturities of securities, excludingshort-term securities, for the six-month period ended January 31, 2018, were$317,958,000 and $367,546,000, respectively.


(5) SECURITIES LENDINGThe Fund, through a securities lending agreement with Citibank, N.A.(Citibank), may lend its securities to qualified financial institutions, such ascertain broker-dealers, to earn additional income. The borrowers are requiredto secure their loans continuously with collateral in an amount at least equalto 102% of the fair value of domestic securities and foreign governmentsecurities loaned and 105% of the fair value of foreign securities and allother securities loaned. Collateral may be cash, U.S. government securities,or other securities as permitted by SEC guidelines. Cash collateral may beinvested in high-quality short-term investments. Collateral requirements aredetermined daily based on the value of the Fund’s securities on loan as ofthe end of the prior business day. Risks relating to securities-lendingtransactions include that the borrower may not provide additional collateralwhen required or return the securities when due, and that the value of theshort-term investments will be less than the amount of cash collateralrequired to be returned to the borrower. The Fund’s agreement withCitibank does not include master netting provisions. Non-cash collateralreceived by the Fund may not be sold or re-pledged except to satisfyborrower default. Cash collateral is listed in the Fund’s Portfolio ofInvestments and Financial Statements while non-cash collateral is notincluded.

(7) TRANSACTIONS WITH MANAGER

A. Management fees – The Manager provides investment managementservices to the Fund pursuant to an Advisory Agreement. Under thisagreement, the Manager is responsible for managing the business andaffairs of the Fund, and for directly managing the day-to-day investmentof the Fund’s assets, subject to the authority of and supervision by theBoard. The Manager is authorized to select (with approval of the Boardand without shareholder approval) one or more subadvisers to managethe day-to-day investment of all or a portion of the Fund’s assets. Forthe year ended July 31, 2017, the Fund had no subadviser(s).

The investment management fee for the Fund is comprised of a base feeand a performance adjustment. The Fund’s base fee, which is accrueddaily and paid monthly, is computed as a percentage of the Fund’saverage net assets at annualized rates of 0.50% of the first $750 millionof average net assets, 0.40% of that portion of average net assets over$750 million but not over $1.5 billion, and 0.33% of that portion of


average net assets over $1.5 billion. For the six-month period endedJanuary 31, 2018, the Fund’s effective annualized base fee was 0.45% ofthe Fund’s average net assets for the same period.

The performance adjustment is calculated separately for each share classon a monthly basis by comparing each class’ performance over theperformance period to that of the Lipper Large-Cap Growth FundsIndex. The Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index tracks the totalreturn performance of funds within the Lipper Large-Cap GrowthFunds category.

The performance period for each class consists of the current monthplus the previous 35 months. The following table is utilized to determinethe extent of the performance adjustment:

Over/Under Performance Relative to Index Annual Adjustment Rate(in basis points)1 (in basis points)1

+/– 100 to 400 +/– 4

+/– 401 to 700 +/– 5

+/– 701 and greater +/– 61Based on the difference between average annual performance of the relevant share class of the Fundand its relevant index, rounded to the nearest basis point. Average net assets of the share class arecalculated over a rolling 36-month period.

Each class’ annual performance adjustment rate is multiplied by theaverage net assets of each respective class over the entire performanceperiod, which is then multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which isthe 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 ofoverperformance), or subtracted from (in the case of underperformance)the base fee.

Under the performance fee arrangement, each class will pay a positiveperformance fee adjustment for a performance period whenever the classoutperforms the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index over thatperiod, even if the class had overall negative returns during theperformance period.


For the six-month period ended January 31, 2018, the Fund incurredtotal management fees, paid or payable to the Manager, of $3,225,000.For the six-month period ended January 31, 2018, the Fund Shares andInstitutional Shares did not incur any performance adjustment.

(9) UPCOMING REGULATORY MATTERSIn October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)issued Final Rule Release No. 33-10231, Investment Company ReportingModernization. In part, the rules require the filing of new forms N-PORTand N-CEN, and amend Regulation S-X to require standardized, enhanceddisclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, as wellas other amendments. In December 2017, the SEC issued Temporary FinalRule Release No. 33-10442, Investment Company Reporting Modernization(Temporary Rule), which extends to April 2019 the compliance date on whichfunds in larger fund groups, such as the Fund, are required to begin filing formN-PORT. In the interim, in lieu of filing form N-PORT, the Temporary Rulerequires that funds in larger fund groups maintain in their records theinformation that is required to be included in form N-PORT. The TemporaryRule does not affect the filing date or requirements of form N-CEN.

In October 2016, the SEC issued Final Rule Release No. 33-10233, InvestmentCompany Liquidity Risk Management Programs (Liquidity Rule). TheLiquidity Rule requires funds to establish a liquidity risk management programand enhances disclosures regarding funds’ liquidity.

In February 2018, the SEC issued Interim Final Rule Release No. IC-33010,Investment Company Liquidity Risk Management Programs; CommissionGuidance for In-Kind ETFs, which extends, among others, the compliancedates for certain disclosure requirements under the Liquidity Rule. Thecompliance date for the liquidity disclosure required in form N-PORT hasbeen extended to June 1, 2019 for larger entities such as the Fund. Thecompliance date for the liquidity disclosure required in form N-CEN forlarge entities such as the Fund remains December 1, 2018. The Fund isexpected to comply with these compliance dates for forms N-PORT andN-CEN. The Manager continues to evaluate the impact these rules andamendments will have on the financial statements and other disclosures.

(10) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTSIn March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issuedAccounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08, Premium Amortization ofPurchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in the ASU shortenthe premium amortization period on a purchased callable debt security fromthe security’s contractual life to the earliest call date. It is anticipated that thischange will enhance disclosures by reducing losses recognized when asecurity is called on an earlier date. This ASU is effective for fiscal yearsbeginning after December 15, 2018. The Manager continues to evaluate theimpact this ASU will have on the financial statement disclosures.

EXPENSE EXAMPLEJanuary 31, 2018 (unaudited)

EXAMPLEAs a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: direct costs,such as wire fees, redemption fees, and low balance fees; and indirectcosts, including management fees, transfer agency fees, and other Fundoperating expenses. This example is intended to help you understand yourindirect costs, also referred to as “ongoing costs” (in dollars), of investingin the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs ofinvesting in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at thebeginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period ofAugust 1, 2017, through January 31, 2018.

ACTUAL EXPENSESThe line labeled “actual” under each share class in the table providesinformation about actual account values and actual expenses. You mayuse the information in this line, together with the amount you invested atthe beginning of the period, to estimate the expenses that you paid overthe 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 bythe number for your share class in the “actual” line under the heading“Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on youraccount during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSESThe line labeled “hypothetical” under each share class in the tableprovides information about hypothetical account values and hypotheticalexpenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratios for each class and anassumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the

Expense Example | 31

Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses maynot be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses youpaid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoingcosts of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5%hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear inthe shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlightyour ongoing costs only and do not reflect any direct costs, such as wirefees, redemption fees, or low balance fees. Therefore, the line labeled“hypothetical” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will nothelp you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. Inaddition, if these direct costs were included, your costs would have beenhigher.

*Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio of 0.77% for Fund Shares and 0.82% forInstitutional Shares, which are net of any reimbursements and expenses paid indirectly, multipliedby the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184 days/365 days (to reflect the one-half-year period). The Fund’s actual ending account values are based on its actual total returns of17.15% for Fund Shares and 17.10% for Institutional Shares for the six-month period of August 1,2017, through January 31, 2018.

**The Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.82% for the Institutional Shares above reflects a changeeffective December 1, 2017, to implement the Manager’s expense limitation of 0.70% of theInstitutional Shares’ average annual net assets. Had the expense limitation of 0.70%, which is net
