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., Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp., 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 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.

GENERAL NOTES

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 46 separate funds. The information presented in this quarterly report pertains only to the USAA Tax Exempt Long-Term Fund (the Fund), which is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.

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.

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 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. 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.

D. Subsequent events Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the quarterly report is issued and are categorized as recognized or non-recognized for financial statement purposes. The Manager has evaluated subsequent events through February 22, 2010, the date the quarterly report was issued, and has determined there were no events that required recognition or disclosure in the Fund's quarterly report.

E. As of December 31, 2009, 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 December 31, 2009, were $79,635,000 and $147,588,000, respectively, resulting in net unrealized depreciation of $67,953,000.

F. The portfolio of investments category percentages shown represent the percentages of the investments to net assets, which were $2,317,390,000 at December 31, 2009, and, in total, may not equal 100%.  A category percentage of 0.0% represents less than 0.1% of net assets.
