PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

"WHEN SELECTING A SPECIFIC SECURITY, WE
STRIVE TO FIND A GOLDEN MEAN BETWEEN THE [PHOTO OF CHRISTOPHER W. CLAUS]
LEVEL OF INCOME, THE CREDIT RISK OF THE ISSUER,
AND THE PRICE VOLATILITY OF THE BOND."


OCTOBER 2009

The reversal in investor sentiment -- from the extreme pessimism of late 2008 to the optimism of 2009 -- has been remarkable.

During 2008, the municipal bond market suffered one of its worst selloffs in history. "Credit spreads," the risk premium between the yield of an investment-grade tax-exempt bond and a comparable U.S. Treasury, widened dramatically amid poor liquidity conditions and distressed selling. Economic conditions deteriorated and unemployment increased. Accordingly, tax revenues declined; however, most municipalities had the political will to address their budgetary challenges and protect their credit standing.

Investors rediscovered the value of municipal securities -- attractive after-tax yields -- beginning in January 2009. The result was strong demand: prices rebounded and yields dropped as credit spreads contracted toward historical norms. (A bond's yield moves in the opposite direction of its price.)

Yields on tax-exempt money markets also declined as the Federal Reserve (the Fed), in an effort to stimulate the economy, cut short-term interest rates nearly to zero. I expect Fed governors to keep rates at these levels until they see evidence of a sustained economic recovery. Consequently, money market yields are unlikely to increase until at least the second half of next year.

At the time of this writing, the economy appears to have stabilized. Housing prices and manufacturing have both shown signs of improvement.


2 | USAA TAX EXEMPT LONG-TERM FUND



Corporate earnings have generally exceeded expectations, but much of the earnings were achieved by cost cutting and inventory reduction. For an economic recovery to take hold, companies must see top line revenue growth, and that depends on the consumer. Unfortunately, the unemployment rate appears to be weighing down consumer confidence. As a result, I expect the economy to experience an extended period of slow growth before it regains its full health.

In the meantime, the after-tax yields on municipal bonds remain attractive. Their tax-exempt status may become even more appealing if the federal and state governments raise taxes.

At USAA, we remain confident in our approach to managing your municipal bond and money market investments. Our primary objective is to distribute a high level of tax-free interest without undue risk of principal. When selecting a specific security, we strive to find a golden mean between the level of income, the credit risk of the issuer, and the price volatility of the bond. Our portfolio managers are supported by a fixed-income research team of experienced analysts. As always, we continue to avoid bonds that are subject to the alternative minimum tax for individuals.

During this uncertain period, like in any other, we encourage our members to be diversified. You also should have an investment plan that meets your individual goals, risk tolerance, and time horizon. Municipal bond prices may have risen, but it is important to remember that the driver of long-term fixed-income performance is the compounding interest of the bonds we hold.

Thank you for your trust in us. We appreciate the opportunity to serve your investment needs.

Sincerely,

/S/ CHRISTOPHER W. CLAUS

MANAGER'S
COMMENTARY
ON THE FUND

JOHN BONNELL, CFA [PHOTO OF JOHN BONNELL]
USAA Investment Management Company

o HOW DID THE USAA TAX EXEMPT LONG-TERM FUND (THE FUND) PERFORM FROM APRIL 1, 2009, TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2009?

The Fund had a total return of 16.44% versus an average of 12.72% for the 251 funds in the Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds Average. This compares to a 14.01% return for the Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds Index and a 9.38% return for the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index*. The Fund's tax-exempt distributions over the prior 12 months produced a dividend yield of 5.06%, compared to the Lipper category average of 4.01%.

o WHAT WERE THE RELEVANT MARKET CONDITIONS DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD?

The Federal Reserve (the Fed) held the federal funds target rate at a range between 0% and 0.25% throughout the reporting period. As economic conditions improved, the worst of the recession appeared to be over.

Municipal bond prices rose during the reporting period, moving up dramatically in August 2009 and September 2009, driven by strong

*Effective November 3, 2008, Barclays Capital combined the existing Lehman Brothers and Barclays Capital indices into a single platform. Thus, the Fund's benchmark, once known as the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, now is called the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index.

demand from both individual and institutional investors. Yields, which move in the opposite direction of prices, declined but yet remained attractive relative to taxable fixed-income securities. Also fueling the rally was a provision in the federal government's stimulus package that allowed state and local governments to issue taxable bonds and receive a 35% subsidy on interest payments. This reduced tax-exempt supply, especially on longer-term municipal bonds.

With the Fed holding short-term rates near zero, many investors moved into longer-term debt, which offered higher yields. The yield on 30-year tax-exempt AAA general obligation bonds declined from 4.77% on April 1, 2009, to 3.87% on September 30, 2009. Meanwhile, the ratio between 30-year municipal yields and those of equivalent U.S. Treasuries declined from 136% to 96%, which is closer to the historical average than the extraordinarily high ratios of 2008.

The underlying credit quality of most municipalities remained solid. The recession has put pressure on municipal budgets, but many issuers had built up their financial reserves during better economic times and have responded to the economic slowdown by cutting costs and looking for ways to raise revenue.

o WHAT WERE YOUR STRATEGIES FOR BUYING AND SELLING?

We continued to concentrate on buying bonds with attractive risk and return characteristics. When we sell a holding, it is usually to take advantage of an opportunity to reinvest the proceeds in a way that could improve the Fund's long-term dividend return, which is the largest contributor to the portfolio's long-term total return (see page 10).

Your Fund was well positioned for the rally during the last six months. As investors' appetite for yield increased, our focus on BBB- and A-rated bonds performed well. We continued to invest the Fund in a well-diversified portfolio of longer-term, primarily investment-grade municipal bonds that are not subject to the federal alternative minimum tax, also known as the AMT, for individuals.


MANAGER'S COMMENTARY ON THE FUND | 5



All the holdings in your Fund are paying principal and interest as promised. We conduct our own independent research to identify investment opportunities, and do not rely on credit agencies or bond insurers to do our work for us.

o WHAT IS THE OUTLOOK?

Because we do not believe inflation is an immediate threat, we expect the Fed to keep rates between 0% and 0.25% until an economic recovery takes hold. Although increasing commodity prices, a weakening dollar, and the government's fiscal stimulus have led some observers to predict higher inflation in the future, we think it unlikely as long as the U.S. economy has weak demand and excess capacity. However, inflation could be a longer-term concern if the government does not execute its plan to remove fiscal stimulus.

While we do not see much potential for additional capital appreciation, tax-exempt bonds continue to look attractive based upon their tax-free yields and low risk of default. Their appeal is likely to grow if tax rates rise as we expect.

We will continue working to maximize the portfolio's after-tax total return. Thank you for the trust you have placed in us.

NOTE THE ROLE THAT DIVIDEND RETURNS PLAY IN THE FUND'S 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 fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

[END CHART]

Data from 9/30/99 through 9/30/09.

The graph illustrates the comparison of a $10,000 hypothetical investment in the USAA Tax Exempt Long-Term Fund to the following benchmarks:

o The unmanaged, broad-based Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index (the Index) tracks total return performance for the long-term, investment-grade, tax-exempt bond market. Before November 3, 2008, it was referred to as the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index. 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 General Municipal Debt Funds Index tracks the total return performance of the 30 largest funds within the Lipper General 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 fund distributions or the redemption of fund 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 9/30/00 to 9/30/09.

The Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds Average is an average performance level of all general municipal debt funds, reported by Lipper Inc., an independent organization that monitors the performance of mutual funds.

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.

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 Corp.,
 Assured Guaranty Corp., CIFG Assurance, N.A., Financial Guaranty
 Insurance Co., Financial Security Assurance, Inc., National Public
 Finance Guarantee Corp., Radian Asset Assurance Inc., or XL Capital
 Assurance.


16 | USAA TAX EXEMPT LONG-TERM FUND



 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 Dexia
 Credit Local.

(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: Florida General Obligation, Texas
 Permanent School Fund, or Utah General Obligation.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2009 (unaudited)


(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

USAA MUTUAL FUNDS TRUST (the Trust), registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act), as amended, is an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust consisting of 45 separate funds. The information presented in this semiannual report pertains only to the USAA Tax Exempt Long-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.

A. SECURITY VALUATION -- 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 Trust's Board of Trustees. 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.


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | 35



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 USAA Investment Management Company (the Manager), an affiliate of the Fund, under valuation procedures approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees. 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


36 | USAA TAX EXEMPT LONG-TERM FUND



that are observable for the securities, either directly or indirectly, and market-corroborated inputs such as market indices.

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, 2009, the Fund's outstanding delayed-delivery commitments, including interest purchased, were $1,205,000; all of which were when-issued securities.


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | 37



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, 2009, these custodian and other bank credits reduced the Fund's expenses by less than $500.

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.

I. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS -- Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued and are categorized as recognized or non-recognized for financial statement purposes. The Fund has evaluated subsequent events through November 17, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued, and has determined there were no events that required recognition or disclosure in the Fund's financial statements.

(2) LINE OF CREDIT

The Fund participates in a joint, short-term, revolving, committed loan agreement of $750 million with USAA Capital Corporation (CAPCO), an affiliate of the Manager. The purpose of the agreement is to meet


38 | USAA TAX EXEMPT LONG-TERM FUND



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 a rate per annum equal to the rate at which CAPCO obtains funding in the capital markets, with no markup.

The USAA funds that are party to the loan agreement are assessed facility fees by CAPCO based on the funds' assessed proportionate share of CAPCO's operating expenses related to obtaining and maintaining CAPCO's funding programs in total (in no event to exceed 0.07% annually of the amount of the committed loan agreement). The facility fees are allocated among the funds based on their respective average net assets for the period.

For the six-month period ended September 30, 2009, the Fund paid CAPCO facility fees of $8,000, which represents 5.9% 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, 2009.

(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, 2010, 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.

The Fund is required to evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Income tax and related interest and penalties would be recognized by the Fund as tax expense in the statement


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | 39



of operations if the tax positions were deemed to not meet the more-likely-than- not threshold. For the six-month period ended September 30, 2009, the Fund did not incur any income tax, interest, or penalties. As of September 30, 2009, the Manager has reviewed all open tax years and concluded that there was no impact to the Fund's net assets or results of operations. Tax years ended March 31, 2006, through March 31, 2009, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities. On an ongoing basis, the Manager will monitor its tax positions to determine if adjustments to this conclusion are necessary.

(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, 2009, were $137,024,000 and $69,752,000, respectively.

As of September 30, 2009, 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, 2009, were $107,545,000 and $113,894,000, respectively, resulting in net unrealized depreciation of $6,349,000.

(5) 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 fee and a performance adjustment. The Fund's base 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 monthly by comparing the Fund's performance to that of the Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds Index over the performance period. The Lipper General Municipal Debt Index tracks the total return performance of the 30 largest funds in the Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds category. The performance period for the Fund consists of the current month plus the previous


40 | USAA TAX EXEMPT LONG-TERM FUND



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 Fund and its relevant index, rounded to the nearest 0.01%. Average net assets are calculated over a rolling 36-month period.

The annual performance adjustment rate is multiplied by the average net assets of the Fund 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.

Under the performance fee arrangement, the Fund will pay a positive performance fee adjustment for a performance period whenever the Fund outperforms the Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds Index over that period, even if the Fund had overall negative returns during the performance period.

For the six-month period ended September 30, 2009, the Fund incurred total management fees, paid or payable to the Manager, of $2,452,000, which was net of a (0.05)% performance adjustment of $(576,000).

B. ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING FEES -- The Manager provides certain administration and shareholder 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 the Fund's average net assets. For the six-month period ended September 30, 2009, the Fund incurred administration and servicing fees, paid or payable to the Manager, of $1,622,000.


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | 41



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 Trust's Board of Trustees has approved the reimbursement of a portion of these expenses incurred by the Manager. For the six-month period ended September 30, 2009, the Fund reimbursed the Manager $51,000 for these compliance and legal services. These expenses are included in the professional fees on the Fund's statement of operations.

C. 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 based on an annual charge of $25.50 per shareholder account plus out-of-pocket expenses. The Fund 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, 2009, the Fund incurred transfer agent's fees, paid or payable to SAS, of $442,000.

D. UNDERWRITING SERVICES -- The Manager provides exclusive underwriting and distribution of the Fund's shares on a continuing best-efforts basis. The Manager receives no commissions or fees for this service.

(6) TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Certain trustees and officers of the Fund are also directors, officers, and/or employees of the Manager. None of the affiliated trustees or Fund officers received any compensation from the Fund.

(7) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING -- In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standard that requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The Fund adopted the accounting standard on April 1, 2009; however, the Fund did not invest in any derivatives during the period from April 1, 2009, through September 30, 2009. Therefore, no disclosures have been made.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE

September 30, 2009 (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, 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, 2009, through September 30, 2009.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line of 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 in the first 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 second line of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this

information to compare 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 second line of the table 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.

ADVISORY AGREEMENT

September 30, 2009 (unaudited)


At a meeting of the Board of Trustees (the Board) held on April 16, 2009, the Board, including the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust (the Independent Trustees), approved 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, particular focus is given to information


46 | USAA TAX EXEMPT LONG-TERM FUND



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 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 familiarity with the Manager's management 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 brokerage, including the Manager's process for monitoring "best execution,"


ADVISORY AGREEMENT | 47



also was considered. The Manager's role in coordinating the activities of the Fund's other service providers also was considered. 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 investment companies, including the Fund.

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 Fund and other investment companies managed by the Manager, 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 no sales loads or front-end 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 the same investment classification/objective 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 its expense universe. The data indicated that the Fund's total expense ratio was the lowest of its expense group and below the median of its expense universe. The Board took into account the various services provided to the Fund by


48 | USAA TAX EXEMPT LONG-TERM FUND



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 the 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 the Fund's performance was lower than the average of its performance universe and its Lipper index for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2008. The Board also noted that the Fund's percentile performance ranking was in the bottom 50% of its performance universe for the same periods. The Board took into account management's discussion of the Fund's performance, including its more recent improved performance, and any actions taken with respect to the Fund.

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 consideration included a broad 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 direct and indirect benefits to the Manager from its relationship with the Trust,


ADVISORY AGREEMENT | 49



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 noted that the Fund's contractual management fee is below the asset-weighted average of funds up to $10 billion in its peer group as set forth in the report prepared by the independent third party. The Board also took into account management's discussion of the current advisory fee structure. 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 being addressed; (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 the 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.
