NOTES TO PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS

April 30, 2013 (unaudited)

GENERAL NOTES

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 50 separate funds. The information presented in this quarterly report pertains only to the USAA First Start Growth Fund (the Fund), which is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.

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 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. Equity securities, including exchange-traded funds (ETFs), except as otherwise noted, traded primarily on a domestic securities exchange or the Nasdaq over-the-counter markets, are valued at the last sales price or official closing price on the exchange or primary market on which they trade. Equity securities traded primarily on foreign securities exchanges or markets are valued at the last quoted sales price, or the most recently determined official closing price calculated according to local market convention, available at the time the Fund is valued. If no last sale or official closing price is reported or available, the average of the bid and asked prices generally is used.

2. Equity securities trading in various foreign markets may take place on days when the NYSE is closed. Further, when the NYSE is open, the foreign markets may be closed. Therefore, the


17 | USAA First Start Growth Fund



calculation of the Fund's net asset value (NAV) may not take place at the same time the prices of certain foreign securities held by the Fund are determined. In most cases, events affecting the values of foreign securities that occur between the time of their last quoted sales or official closing prices and the close of normal trading on the NYSE on a day the Fund's NAV is calculated will not be reflected in the value of the Fund's foreign securities. However, the Manager, an affiliate of the Fund, and the Fund's subadviser, if applicable, will monitor for events that would materially affect the value of the Fund's foreign securities. The Fund's subadviser has agreed to notify the Manager of significant events it identifies that would materially affect the value of the Fund's foreign securities. If the Manager determines that a particular event would materially affect the value of the Fund's foreign securities, then the Manager, under valuation procedures approved by the Board, will consider such available information that it deems relevant to determine a fair value for the affected foreign securities. In addition, the Fund may use information from an external vendor or other sources to adjust the foreign market closing prices of foreign equity securities to reflect what the Fund believes to be the fair value of the securities as of the close of the NYSE. Fair valuation of affected foreign equity securities may occur frequently based on an assessment that events that occur on a fairly regular basis (such as U.S. market movements) are significant.

3. Investments in open-end investment companies, hedge, or other funds, other than ETFs, are valued at their NAV at the end of each business day.

4. Debt securities purchased with original or remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

5. 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 securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, and type; indications as to values from dealers in securities; and general market conditions.

6. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates market value.

7. Futures are valued based upon the last sale price at the close of market on the principal exchange on which they are traded.

8. Options are valued by a pricing service at the National Best Bid/Offer (NBBO) composite price, which is derived from the best available bid and ask prices in all participating options exchanges determined to most closely reflect market value of the options at the time of computation of the Fund's NAV.

9. 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 in consultation with the Fund's subadviser, if applicable, under valuation procedures approved by the Board. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be


Notes to Portfolio of Investments | 18



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.

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 certain preferred stocks and all bonds, except U.S. Treasuries, which are valued based on methods discussed in Note A5.

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.

For the securities valued using significant unobservable inputs, market quotations were not available from the pricing services. As such, the securities were valued in good faith using methods determined by the Manager, under valuation procedures approved by the Board. The valuation of some securities falling in the Level 3 category are primarily supported by tender offers or quoted prices obtained from broker-dealers participating in the market for these securities. However, these securities are included in the Level 3 category due to limited market transparency and or a lack of corroboration to support the quoted prices.

Refer to the portfolio of investments for a reconciliation of investments in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining value.

C. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES -- The Fund may buy, sell, and enter into certain types of derivatives, including, but not limited to futures contracts, options, and options on futures contracts, under circumstances in which such instruments are expected by the portfolio


19 | USAA First Start Growth Fund



manager to aid in achieving the Fund's investment objective. The Fund also may use derivatives in circumstances where the portfolio manager believes they offer an economical means of gaining exposure to a particular asset class or securities market or to keep cash on hand to meet shareholder redemptions or other needs while maintaining exposure to the market. With exchange- listed futures contracts and options, counterparty credit risk to the Fund is limited to the exchange's clearinghouse which, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures contracts and options, guarantees the transactions against default from the actual counterparty to the trade.

OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS -- The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may use options on underlying instruments, namely, equity securities, ETFs, and equity indexes, to gain exposure to, or hedge against, changes in the value of equity securities, ETFs, or equity indexes. A call option gives the purchaser the right to buy, and the writer the obligation to sell, the underlying instrument at a specified price during a specified period. Conversely, a put option gives the purchaser the right to sell, and the writer the obligation to buy, the underlying instrument at a specified price during a specified period. The purchaser of the option pays a premium to the writer of the option.

Premiums paid for purchased options are recorded as an investment. If a purchased option expires unexercised, the premium paid is recognized as a realized loss. If a purchased call option on a security is exercised, the cost of the security acquired includes the exercise price and the premium paid. If a purchased put option on a security is exercised, the realized gain or loss on the security sold is determined from the exercise price, the original cost of the security, and the premium paid. The risk associated with purchasing a call or put option is limited to the premium paid.

Premiums received from writing options are recorded as a liability. If a written option expires unexercised, the premium received is recognized as a realized gain. If a written call option on a security is exercised, the realized gain or loss on the security sold is determined from the exercise price, the original cost of the security, and the premium received. If a written put option on a security is exercised, the cost of the security acquired is the exercise price paid less the premium received. The Fund, as a writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.

In an attempt to reduce the Fund's volatility over time, the Fund may implement a strategy that involves purchasing and selling options on indexes or ETFs that represent the fund's exposure against a highly correlated stock portfolio. The combination of the diversified stock portfolio with index or ETF options is designed to provide the Fund with consistent returns over a wide range of equity market environments. This strategy may not fully protect the Fund against declines in the portfolio's value, and the Fund could experience a loss. Options on ETFs are similar to options on individual securities in that the holder of the ETF call (or put) has the right to receive (or sell) shares of the underlying ETF at the strike price on or before exercise date. Options on securities indexes are different from options on individual securities in that the holder of the index option has the right to receive an amount of cash equal to the difference between the exercise price and the settlement value of the underlying index as defined by the exchange. If an index option is exercised, the realized gain or loss is determined by the exercise price, the settlement value, and the premium amount paid or received.


Notes to Portfolio of Investments | 20



D. 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.

E. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS -
OFFSETTING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES - In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The amendments in the ASU enhance disclosures about offsetting of financial assets and liabilities to enable investors to understand the effect of these arrangements on a fund's financial position. In January 2013, FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The amendments in ASU No. 2013-01 clarify the scope of disclosures required by ASU No. 2011-11. These ASUs are effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Fund believes the adoption of these ASUs will not have a material impact on its financial statement disclosures.

F. As of April 30, 2013, the cost of securities, for federal income tax purposes, was approximately the same as that reported in the portfolio of investments. Gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments as of April 30, 2013, were $34,439,000 and $3,849,000, respectively, resulting in net unrealized appreciation of $30,590,000. Investments in foreign securities were 48.3% net assets at April 30, 2013.

G. The portfolio of investments category percentages shown represent the percentages of the investments to net assets, which were $269,556,000 at April 30, 2013, and, in total, may not equal 100%. A category percentage of 0.0% represents less than 0.1% of net assets.

G. The Fund may rely on certain Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) exemptive orders or rules that permit funds meeting various conditions to invest in an exchange-traded fund (ETF) in amounts exceeding limits set forth in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that would otherwise be applicable.

CATEGORIES AND DEFINITIONS

ASSET-BACKED AND COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES - Asset-backed securities represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, a stream of payments generated by particular assets. Commercial mortgage-backed securities reflect an interest in, and are secured by, mortgage loans on commercial real property. These securities represent ownership in a pool of loans and are divided into pieces (tranches) with varying maturities. The stated final maturity of such securities represents when the final principal payment will be made for all underlying loans. The weighted average life is the average time for principal to be repaid, which is calculated by assuming


21 | USAA First Start Growth Fund



prepayment rates of the underlying loans. The weighted average life is likely to be substantially shorter than the stated final maturity as a result of scheduled principal payments and unscheduled principal prepayments. Stated interest rates on commercial mortgage-backed securities may change slightly over time as underlying mortgages pay down.

EURODOLLAR AND YANKEE OBLIGATIONS - Eurodollar obligations are dollar-denominated instruments that are issued outside the U.S. capital markets by foreign corporations and financial institutions and by foreign branches of U.S. corporations and financial institutions. Yankee obligations are dollar- denominated instruments that are issued by foreign issuers in the U.S. capital markets.
