NOTES TO PORTFOLIO
OF INVESTMENTS
November 30, 2018 (unaudited)
GENERAL NOTES
USAA ETF 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 six separate exchange-traded funds. The USAA Core Short-Term Bond ETF (the Fund) qualifies as a registered investment company under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946. The information presented in this quarterly report pertains only to the Fund, which is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.
On November 6, 2018, United Services Automobile Association (USAA), the parent company of USAA Asset Management Company (AMCO or Manager), the investment adviser to the Fund, announced that AMCO would be acquired by Victory Capital Holdings, Inc. (Victory), a global investment management firm headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio (the Transaction). The closing of the Transaction is expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2019, pending satisfaction of certain closing conditions and approvals, including certain approvals of the Fund's Board of Trustees and of the Fund's shareholders at a special shareholder meeting to be held in 2019. The Transaction is not expected to result in any material changes to the Fund's investment objectives and principal investment strategies.
A.  Security valuation – The Trust’s Board of Trustees (the Board) has established the Valuation and Liquidity 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), an affiliate of the Fund. Among other things, these monthly meetings include a review and analysis of backtesting 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:

Notes to Portfolio of Investments    |    8



1.  Equity securities, including exchange-traded funds (ETFs), exchange-traded notes (ETNs), and equity-linked structured notes, except as otherwise noted, traded primarily on a domestic securities exchange or the 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. Securities traded primarily on foreign securities exchanges or markets are valued at the last quoted sale price, or the most recently determined official closing price calculated according to local market convention, available at the time the Funds are valued. If no last sale or official closing price is reported or available, the average of the bid and ask prices generally is used. Actively traded equity securities listed on a domestic exchange generally are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Certain preferred and equity securities traded in inactive markets generally are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
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 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 many cases, events affecting the values of foreign securities that occur between the time of their last quoted sale or official closing price and the close of normal trading on the NYSE on a day the Fund’s NAV is calculated will not need to be reflected in the value of the Fund’s foreign securities. However, the Manager will monitor for events that would materially affect the value of the Fund’s foreign securities and the Committee will consider such available information that it deems relevant and will determine a fair value for the affected foreign securities in accordance with valuation procedures. Such securities are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
3.  Investments in open-end investment companies, commingled, or other funds, other than ETFs, are valued at their NAV at the end of each business day and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
4.  Short-term debt securities with original or remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, provided that amortized cost represents the fair value of such securities.
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 ask prices or the last sales price to value a security when, in the Service’s judgment, these prices are readily available and are representative of the security's market value. For many securities, such prices are not readily available. The Service generally prices those securities based on methods which 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. Generally, debt securities are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; however, to the extent the valuations include significant unobservable inputs, the securities would be categorized in Level 3.
6.  Repurchase agreements are valued at cost.
7.   In the event that price quotations or valuations are not readily available, are not reflective of market value, or a significant event has been recognized in relation to a security or class of securities, the securities are valued in good faith by the Committee in accordance with

9    |    USAA Core Short-Term Bond ETF



valuation procedures approved by the Board. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and the actual price realized from the sale of a security may differ materially from the fair value price. Valuing these securities at fair value is intended to cause the Fund’s 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, other pricing services, 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, evaluation of credit quality, 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 indexes.
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 lending – The Fund, through a securities lending agreement with Citibank, N.A. (Citibank), may lend its securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. The borrowers are required to secure their loans continuously with collateral in an amount at least equal to 102% of the fair value of domestic securities and foreign government securities loaned and 105% of the fair value of foreign securities and all other securities loaned. Collateral may be cash, U.S. government securities, or other securities as permitted by U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) guidelines. Cash collateral may be invested in high-quality short-term investments. Collateral requirements are determined daily based on the value of the Fund’s securities on loan as of the end of the prior business day. Loans are terminable upon demand and the borrower must return the loaned securities within the lesser of one standard settlement period or five business days. Risks relating to securities-lending transactions include that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or return the securities when due, and that the value of the short-term investments will be less than the amount of cash collateral required to be returned to the borrower. The Fund’s agreement with Citibank does not include master netting provisions. Non-cash collateral received by the Fund may not be sold or

Notes to Portfolio of Investments    |    10



re-pledged except to satisfy borrower default. Cash collateral is listed in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments while non-cash collateral is not included.
At November 30, 2018, the Fund had no securities on loan.
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 or for delayed draws on loans 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 receives a commitment fee for delayed draws on loans. 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 and delayed-draw loan commitments may increase the volatility of the Fund’s NAV to the extent that the Fund makes such purchases and commitments while remaining substantially fully invested.
E.   The Portfolio of Investments category percentages shown represent the percentages of the investments to net assets, which were $64,110,000 at November 30, 2018, and, in total, may not equal 100%. A category percentage of 0.0% represents less than 0.1% of net assets. Investments in foreign securities were 17.0% of net assets at November 30, 2018.
F.  Upcoming Regulatory MattersIn October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Final Rule Release No. 33-10233, Investment Company Liquidity Risk Management Programs (Liquidity Rule). The Liquidity Rule requires funds to establish a liquidity risk management program and enhances disclosures regarding funds’ liquidity. The requirements to implement a liquidity risk management program and establish a 15% illiquid investment limit became effective December 1, 2018. However, in February 2018, the SEC issued Release No. IC-33010, Investment Company Liquidity Risk Management Programs; Commission Guidance for In-Kind ETFs, which delayed certain requirements related to liquidity classification, highly liquid investment minimums, and board approval of the liquidity risk management programs to June 1, 2019. The Manager continues to evaluate the impact of this rule on the Fund’s financial statements and various filings.
G.  Upcoming Accounting PronouncementsIn March 2017, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08, Premium Amortization of Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in the ASU shorten the premium amortization period on a purchased callable debt security from the security’s contractual life to the earliest call date. It is anticipated that this change will enhance disclosures by reducing losses recognized when a security is called on an earlier date. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Manager continues to evaluate the impact this ASU will have on the financial statements and other disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). The amendments in the ASU impact disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. It is anticipated that this change will enhance the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to the financial statements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years

11    |    USAA Core Short-Term Bond ETF



beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted and can include the entire standard or certain provisions that exclude or amend disclosures. The adoption of this ASU guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements and other disclosures.
CATEGORIES AND DEFINITIONS
Eurodollar and Yankee obligations – Eurodollar obligations are U.S. 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.
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 the date the final principal payment will be made for the last outstanding loans in the pool. The weighted average life is the average time for principal to be repaid, which is calculated by assuming 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 paydown.
Collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) – Collateralized loan obligations are securities issued by entities that are collateralized by a pool of loans. CLOs are issued in multiple classes (tranches), and can be equity or debt with specific adjustable or fixed interest rates, and varying maturities. The cash flow from the underlying loans is used to pay off each tranche separately within the debt, or senior tranches. Equity, or subordinated tranches, typically are not paid a cash flow but do offer ownership in the CLO itself in the event of a sale.
Commercial paper – Consists of short-term unsecured promissory notes with maturities ranging from one to 270 days, issued mainly by corporations. Commercial paper is usually purchased at a discount and matures at par value; however, it also may be interest-bearing. Rate represents an annualized yield at time of purchase or coupon rate, if applicable.
PORTFOLIO ABBREVIATIONS AND DESCRIPTIONS
EDA Economic Development Authority
LIBOR London Interbank Offered Rate
REITS Real estate investment trusts - Dividend distributions from REITS may be recorded as income and later characterized by the REIT at the end of the fiscal year as capital gains or a return of capital. Thus, the Fund will estimate the components of distributions from these securities and revise when actual distributions are known.

NOTES TO PORTFOLIO
OF INVESTMENTS
November 30, 2018 (unaudited)
GENERAL NOTES
USAA ETF 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 six separate exchange-traded funds. The USAA Core Intermediate-Term Bond ETF (the Fund) qualifies as a registered investment company under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946. The information presented in this quarterly report pertains only to the Fund, which is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.
On November 6, 2018, United Services Automobile Association (USAA), the parent company of USAA Asset Management Company (AMCO or Manager), the investment adviser to the Fund, announced that AMCO would be acquired by Victory Capital Holdings, Inc. (Victory), a global investment management firm headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio (the Transaction). The closing of the Transaction is expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2019, pending satisfaction of certain closing conditions and approvals, including certain approvals of the Fund's Board of Trustees and of the Fund's shareholders at a special shareholder meeting to be held in 2019. The Transaction is not expected to result in any material changes to the Fund's investment objectives and principal investment strategies.
A.  Security valuation – The Trust’s Board of Trustees (the Board) has established the Valuation and Liquidity 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), an affiliate of the Fund. Among other things, these monthly meetings include a review and analysis of backtesting 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:

Notes to Portfolio of Investments    |    12



1.  Equity securities, including exchange-traded funds (ETFs), exchange-traded notes (ETNs), and equity-linked structured notes, except as otherwise noted, traded primarily on a domestic securities exchange or the 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. Securities traded primarily on foreign securities exchanges or markets are valued at the last quoted sale price, or the most recently determined official closing price calculated according to local market convention, available at the time the Funds are valued. If no last sale or official closing price is reported or available, the average of the bid and ask prices generally is used. Actively traded equity securities listed on a domestic exchange generally are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Certain preferred and equity securities traded in inactive markets generally are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
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 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 many cases, events affecting the values of foreign securities that occur between the time of their last quoted sale or official closing price and the close of normal trading on the NYSE on a day the Fund’s NAV is calculated will not need to be reflected in the value of the Fund’s foreign securities. However, the Manager will monitor for events that would materially affect the value of the Fund’s foreign securities and the Committee will consider such available information that it deems relevant and will determine a fair value for the affected foreign securities in accordance with valuation procedures. Such securities are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
3.  Investments in open-end investment companies, commingled, or other funds, other than ETFs, are valued at their NAV at the end of each business day and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
4.  Short-term debt securities with original or remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, provided that amortized cost represents the fair value of such securities.
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 ask prices or the last sales price to value a security when, in the Service’s judgment, these prices are readily available and are representative of the security's market value. For many securities, such prices are not readily available. The Service generally prices those securities based on methods which 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. Generally, debt securities are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; however, to the extent the valuations include significant unobservable inputs, the securities would be categorized in Level 3.
6.  Repurchase agreements are valued at cost.
7.  Futures are valued at the settlement price at the close of market on the principal exchange on which they are traded or, in the absence of any transactions that day, the settlement price on

13    |    USAA Core Intermediate-Term Bond ETF



the prior trading date if it is within the spread between the closing bid and asked prices closest to the last reported sale price.
8.   In the event that price quotations or valuations are not readily available, are not reflective of market value, or a significant event has been recognized in relation to a security or class of securities, the securities are valued in good faith by the Committee in accordance with valuation procedures approved by the Board. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and the actual price realized from the sale of a security may differ materially from the fair value price. Valuing these securities at fair value is intended to cause the Fund’s 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, other pricing services, 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, evaluation of credit quality, 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 indexes.
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 lending – The Fund, through a securities lending agreement with Citibank, N.A. (Citibank), may lend its securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. The borrowers are required to secure their loans continuously with collateral in an amount at least equal to 102% of the fair value of domestic securities and foreign government securities loaned and 105% of the fair value of foreign securities and all other securities loaned. Collateral may be cash, U.S. government securities, or other securities as permitted by U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) guidelines. Cash collateral may be invested in high-quality short-term investments. Collateral requirements are determined daily based on the value of the Fund’s securities on loan as of the end of the prior business day. Loans are terminable upon demand and the borrower must return the loaned securities within the lesser of one standard

Notes to Portfolio of Investments    |    14



settlement period or five business days. Risks relating to securities-lending transactions include that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or return the securities when due, and that the value of the short-term investments will be less than the amount of cash collateral required to be returned to the borrower. The Fund’s agreement with Citibank does not include master netting provisions. Non-cash collateral received by the Fund may not be sold or re-pledged except to satisfy borrower default. Cash collateral is listed in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments while non-cash collateral is not included.
At November 30, 2018, the Fund had no securities on loan.
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 or for delayed draws on loans 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 receives a commitment fee for delayed draws on loans. 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 and delayed-draw loan commitments may increase the volatility of the Fund’s NAV to the extent that the Fund makes such purchases and commitments while remaining substantially fully invested.
E.  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 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 transaction. The Fund’s derivative agreements held at November 30, 2018, did not include master netting provisions.
Futures contracts – The Fund is subject to equity price risk, interest rate risk, and foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may use futures contracts to gain exposure to, or hedge against, changes in the value of equities, interest rates, or foreign currencies. A futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. Upon entering into such contracts, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker in either cash or securities an initial margin in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract, and are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Upon entering into such contracts, the Fund bears the risk of interest or exchange rates or securities prices moving unexpectedly in an unfavorable direction, in

which case, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts.
F.   The Portfolio of Investments category percentages shown represent the percentages of the investments to net assets, which were $166,985,000 at November 30, 2018, and, in total, may not equal 100%. A category percentage of 0.0% represents less than 0.1% of net assets. Investments in foreign securities were 17.1% of net assets at November 30, 2018.
G.  Upcoming Regulatory Matters – In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Final Rule Release No. 33-10233, Investment Company Liquidity Risk Management Programs (Liquidity Rule). The Liquidity Rule requires funds to establish a liquidity risk management program and enhances disclosures regarding funds’ liquidity. The requirements to implement a liquidity risk management program and establish a 15% illiquid investment limit became effective December 1, 2018. However, in February 2018, the SEC issued Release No. IC-33010, Investment Company Liquidity Risk Management Programs; Commission Guidance for In-Kind ETFs, which delayed certain requirements related to liquidity classification, highly liquid investment minimums, and board approval of the liquidity risk management programs to June 1, 2019. The Manager continues to evaluate the impact of this rule on the Fund’s financial statements and various filings.
H.  Upcoming Accounting PronouncementsIn March 2017, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08, Premium Amortization of Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in the ASU shorten the premium amortization period on a purchased callable debt security from the security’s contractual life to the earliest call date. It is anticipated that this change will enhance disclosures by reducing losses recognized when a security is called on an earlier date. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Manager continues to evaluate the impact this ASU will have on the financial statements and other disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). The amendments in the ASU impact disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. It is anticipated that this change will enhance the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to the financial statements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted and can include the entire standard or certain provisions that exclude or amend disclosures. The adoption of this ASU guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements and other disclosures.
CATEGORIES AND DEFINITIONS
Eurodollar and Yankee obligations – Eurodollar obligations are U.S. 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.
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,

Notes to Portfolio of Investments    |    16



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 the date the final principal payment will be made for the last outstanding loans in the pool. The weighted average life is the average time for principal to be repaid, which is calculated by assuming 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 paydown.
Collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) – Collateralized loan obligations are securities issued by entities that are collateralized by a pool of loans. CLOs are issued in multiple classes (tranches), and can be equity or debt with specific adjustable or fixed interest rates, and varying maturities. The cash flow from the underlying loans is used to pay off each tranche separately within the debt, or senior tranches. Equity, or subordinated tranches, typically are not paid a cash flow but do offer ownership in the CLO itself in the event of a sale.
PORTFOLIO ABBREVIATIONS AND DESCRIPTIONS
CMT Constant Maturity Treasury
LIBOR London Interbank Offered Rate
REITS Real estate investment trusts - Dividend distributions from REITS may be recorded as income and later characterized by the REIT at the end of the fiscal year as capital gains or a return of capital. Thus, the Fund will estimate the components of distributions from these securities and revise when actual distributions are known.
    
SPECIFIC NOTES
(a) Restricted security that is not registered under the Securities Act of 1933. A resale of this security in the United States may occur in an exempt transaction to a qualified institutional buyer as defined by Rule 144A, and as such has been deemed liquid by USAA Asset Management Company under liquidity guidelines approved by USAA ETF Trust’s Board of Trustees, unless otherwise noted as illiquid.
(b) Variable-rate security – interest rate is adjusted periodically. The interest rate disclosed represents the rate at November 30, 2018.
(c) Senior loans (loans) – are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The loans contain certain restrictions on resale and cannot be sold publicly. The stated interest rates represent the all in interest rate of all contracts within the loan facilities. The interest rates are adjusted periodically, and the rates disclosed represent the current rate at November 30, 2018. The weighted average life of the loans are likely to be shorter than the stated final maturity date due to mandatory or optional prepayments. The loans are deemed liquid by USAA Asset Management Company, under liquidity guidelines approved by USAA ETF Trust’s Board of Trustees, unless otherwise noted as illiquid.
(d) Stated interest rates may change slightly over time as underlying mortgages paydown.

17    |    USAA Core Intermediate-Term Bond ETF



(e) Security or a portion of the security purchased on a delayed-delivery and/or when-issued basis.
(f) Fixed to floating security that initially pays a fixed rate and converts to a floating rate coupon at a specified date in the future. The rate presented is a fixed rate.
(g) U.S. government agency issues - Mortgage-backed securities issued by certain U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs) such as the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA or Ginnie Mae) and certain other U.S. government guaranteed securities are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. Securities issued by other GSEs, such as Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac or FHLMC) and Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae or FNMA), indicated with a “+”, are supported only by the right of the GSE to borrow from the U.S. Treasury, the discretionary authority of the U.S. government to purchase the GSEs’ obligations, or only by the credit of the issuing agency, instrumentality, or corporation, and are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. In September of 2008, the U.S. Treasury placed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac under conservatorship and appointed the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) to act as conservator and oversee their daily operations. In addition, the U.S. Treasury entered into purchase agreements with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to provide them with capital in exchange for senior preferred stock. While these arrangements are intended to ensure that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac can continue to meet their obligations, it is possible that actions by the U.S. Treasury, FHFA, or others could adversely impact the value of the Fund’s investments in securities issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
(h) Rates for U.S. Treasury notes or bonds represent the stated coupon payment rate at time of issuance.
(i) Securities with a value of $1,913,000 are segregated as collateral for initial margin requirements on open futures contracts.
(j) The security, or a portion thereof, is segregated to cover the value of open futures contracts at November 30, 2018.
(k) At November 30, 2018, the security, or a portion thereof, was segregated to cover delayed-delivery and/or when-issued purchases.
(l) Rate represents the money market fund annualized seven-day yield at November 30, 2018.

GENERAL NOTES
USAA ETF 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 six separate exchange-traded funds. The USAA MSCI USA Value Momentum Blend Index ETF (the Fund) qualifies as a registered investment company under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946. The information presented in this quarterly report pertains only to the Fund, which is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.
On November 6, 2018, United Services Automobile Association (USAA), the parent company of USAA Asset Management Company (AMCO or Manager), the investment adviser to the Fund, announced that AMCO would be acquired by Victory Capital Holdings, Inc. (Victory), a global investment management firm headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio (the Transaction). The closing of the Transaction is expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2019, pending satisfaction of certain closing conditions and approvals, including certain approvals of the Fund's Board of Trustees and of the Fund's shareholders at a special shareholder meeting to be held in 2019. The Transaction is not expected to result in any material changes to the Fund's investment objectives and principal investment strategies.
A.  Security valuation – The Trust’s Board of Trustees (the Board) has established the Valuation and Liquidity 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), an affiliate of the Fund. Among other things, these monthly meetings include a review and analysis of backtesting reports, pricing service quotation comparisons, illiquid securities and fair value determinations, pricing movements, and daily stale price monitoring.

Notes to Portfolio of Investments    |    8



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), exchange-traded notes (ETNs), and equity-linked structured notes, except as otherwise noted, traded primarily on a domestic securities exchange or the 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. Securities traded primarily on foreign securities exchanges or markets are valued at the last quoted sale 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 ask prices generally is used. Actively traded equity securities listed on a domestic exchange generally are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Certain preferred and equity securities traded in inactive markets generally are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
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 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 many cases, events affecting the values of foreign securities that occur between the time of their last quoted sale or official closing price and the close of normal trading on the NYSE on a day the Fund’s NAV is calculated will not need to be reflected in the value of the Fund’s foreign securities. However, the Manager and the Fund's subadvisor(s) will monitor for events that would materially affect the value of the Fund’s foreign securities and the Committee will consider such available information that it deems relevant and will determine a fair value for the affected foreign securities in accordance with valuation procedures. Such securities are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
3.  Investments in open-end investment companies, commingled, or other funds, other than ETFs, are valued at their NAV at the end of each business day and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
4.  Short-term debt securities with original or remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, provided that amortized 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 readily available, are not reflective of market value, or a significant event has been recognized in relation to a security or class of securities, the securities are valued in good faith by the Committee in accordance with valuation procedures approved by the Board. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and the actual price realized from the sale of a security may differ materially from the fair value price. Valuing these securities at fair value is intended to cause the Fund’s 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, other pricing services, or widely

9    |    USAA MSCI USA Value Momentum Blend Index ETF



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, evaluation of credit quality, 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 indexes.
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 lending – The Fund, through a securities lending agreement with Citibank, N.A. (Citibank), may lend its securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. The borrowers are required to secure their loans continuously with collateral in an amount at least equal to 102% of the fair value of domestic securities and foreign government securities loaned and 105% of the fair value of foreign securities and all other securities loaned. Collateral may be cash, U.S. government securities, or other securities as permitted by U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) guidelines. Cash collateral may be invested in high-quality short-term investments. Collateral requirements are determined daily based on the value of the Fund’s securities on loan as of the end of the prior business day. Loans are terminable upon demand and the borrower must return the loaned securities within the lesser of one standard settlement period or five business days. Risks relating to securities-lending transactions include that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or return the securities when due, and that the value of the short-term investments will be less than the amount of cash collateral required to be returned to the borrower. The Fund’s agreement with Citibank does not include master netting provisions. Non-cash collateral received by the Fund may not be sold or re-pledged except to satisfy borrower default. Cash collateral is listed in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments while non-cash collateral is not included.
At November 30, 2018, the Fund had no securities on loan.
D.  The Portfolio of Investments category percentages shown represent the percentages of the investments to net assets, which were $392,839,000 at November 30, 2018, and, in total, may not equal 100%. A category percentage of 0.0% represents less than 0.1% of net assets.

E.  Upcoming Regulatory Matters – In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Final Rule Release No. 33-10233, Investment Company Liquidity Risk Management Programs (Liquidity Rule). The Liquidity Rule requires funds to establish a liquidity risk management program and enhances disclosures regarding funds’ liquidity. The requirements to implement a liquidity risk management program and establish a 15% illiquid investment limit became effective December 1, 2018. However, in February 2018, the SEC issued Release No. IC-33010, Investment Company Liquidity Risk Management Programs; Commission Guidance for In-Kind ETFs, which delayed certain requirements related to liquidity classification, highly liquid investment minimums, and board approval of the liquidity risk management programs to June 1, 2019. The Manager continues to evaluate the impact of this rule on the Fund’s financial statements and various filings.
F.  Upcoming Accounting Pronouncement – In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). The amendments in the ASU impact disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. It is anticipated that this change will enhance the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to the financial statements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted and can include the entire standard or certain provisions that exclude or amend disclosures. The adoption of this ASU guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements and other disclosures.

NOTES TO PORTFOLIO
OF INVESTMENTS
November 30, 2018 (unaudited)
GENERAL NOTES
USAA ETF 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 six separate exchange-traded funds. The USAA MSCI USA Small Cap Value Momentum Blend Index ETF (the Fund) qualifies as a registered investment company under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946. The information presented in this quarterly report pertains only to the Fund, which is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.
On November 6, 2018, United Services Automobile Association (USAA), the parent company of USAA Asset Management Company (AMCO or Manager), the investment adviser to the Fund, announced that AMCO would be acquired by Victory Capital Holdings, Inc. (Victory), a global investment management firm headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio (the Transaction). The closing of the Transaction is expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2019, pending satisfaction of certain closing conditions and approvals, including certain approvals of the Fund's Board of Trustees and of the Fund's shareholders at a special shareholder meeting to be held in 2019. The Transaction is not expected to result in any material changes to the Fund's investment objectives and principal investment strategies.
A.  Security valuation – The Trust’s Board of Trustees (the Board) has established the Valuation and Liquidity 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), an affiliate of the Fund. Among other things, these monthly meetings include a review and analysis of backtesting reports, pricing service quotation comparisons, illiquid securities and fair value determinations, pricing movements, and daily stale price monitoring.

13    |    USAA MSCI USA Small Cap Value Momentum Blend Index ETF



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), exchange-traded notes (ETNs), and equity-linked structured notes, except as otherwise noted, traded primarily on a domestic securities exchange or the 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. Securities traded primarily on foreign securities exchanges or markets are valued at the last quoted sale 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 ask prices generally is used. Actively traded equity securities listed on a domestic exchange generally are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Certain preferred and equity securities traded in inactive markets generally are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
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 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 many cases, events affecting the values of foreign securities that occur between the time of their last quoted sale or official closing price and the close of normal trading on the NYSE on a day the Fund’s NAV is calculated will not need to be reflected in the value of the Fund’s foreign securities. However, the Manager and the Fund's subadvisor(s) will monitor for events that would materially affect the value of the Fund’s foreign securities and the Committee will consider such available information that it deems relevant and will determine a fair value for the affected foreign securities in accordance with valuation procedures. Such securities are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
3.  Investments in open-end investment companies, commingled, or other funds, other than ETFs, are valued at their NAV at the end of each business day and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
4.  Short-term debt securities with original or remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, provided that amortized 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 readily available, are not reflective of market value, or a significant event has been recognized in relation to a security or class of securities, the securities are valued in good faith by the Committee in accordance with valuation procedures approved by the Board. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and the actual price realized from the sale of a security may differ materially from the fair value price. Valuing these securities at fair value is intended to cause the Fund’s 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, other pricing services, 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, evaluation of credit quality, 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 indexes.
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 lending – The Fund, through a securities lending agreement with Citibank, N.A. (Citibank), may lend its securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. The borrowers are required to secure their loans continuously with collateral in an amount at least equal to 102% of the fair value of domestic securities and foreign government securities loaned and 105% of the fair value of foreign securities and all other securities loaned. Collateral may be cash, U.S. government securities, or other securities as permitted by U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) guidelines. Cash collateral may be invested in high-quality short-term investments. Collateral requirements are determined daily based on the value of the Fund’s securities on loan as of the end of the prior business day. Loans are terminable upon demand and the borrower must return the loaned securities within the lesser of one standard settlement period or five business days. Risks relating to securities-lending transactions include that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or return the securities when due, and that the value of the short-term investments will be less than the amount of cash collateral required to be returned to the borrower. The Fund’s agreement with Citibank does not include master netting provisions. Non-cash collateral received by the Fund may not be sold or re-pledged except to satisfy borrower default. Cash collateral is listed in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments while non-cash collateral is not included.
At November 30, 2018, the Fund had no securities on loan.
D.  The Portfolio of Investments category percentages shown represent the percentages of the investments to net assets, which were $84,989,000 at November 30, 2018, and, in total, may not equal 100%. A category percentage of 0.0% represents less than 0.1% of net assets.

E.  Upcoming Regulatory Matters – In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Final Rule Release No. 33-10233, Investment Company Liquidity Risk Management Programs (Liquidity Rule). The Liquidity Rule requires funds to establish a liquidity risk management program and enhances disclosures regarding funds’ liquidity. The requirements to implement a liquidity risk management program and establish a 15% illiquid investment limit became effective December 1, 2018. However, in February 2018, the SEC issued Release No. IC-33010, Investment Company Liquidity Risk Management Programs; Commission Guidance for In-Kind ETFs, which delayed certain requirements related to liquidity classification, highly liquid investment minimums, and board approval of the liquidity risk management programs to June 1, 2019. The Manager continues to evaluate the impact of this rule on the Fund’s financial statements and various filings.
F.  Upcoming Accounting Pronouncement – In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). The amendments in the ASU impact disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. It is anticipated that this change will enhance the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to the financial statements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted and can include the entire standard or certain provisions that exclude or amend disclosures. The adoption of this ASU guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements and other disclosures.

NOTES TO PORTFOLIO
OF INVESTMENTS
November 30, 2018 (unaudited)
GENERAL NOTES
USAA ETF 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 six separate exchange-traded funds. The USAA MSCI International Value Momentum Blend Index ETF (the Fund) qualifies as a registered investment company under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946. The information presented in this quarterly report pertains only to the Fund, which is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.
On November 6, 2018, United Services Automobile Association (USAA), the parent company of USAA Asset Management Company (AMCO or Manager), the investment adviser to the Fund, announced that AMCO would be acquired by Victory Capital Holdings, Inc. (Victory), a global investment management firm headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio (the Transaction). The closing of the Transaction is expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2019, pending satisfaction of certain closing conditions and approvals, including certain approvals of the Fund's Board of Trustees and of the Fund's shareholders at a special shareholder meeting to be held in 2019. The Transaction is not expected to result in any material changes to the Fund's investment objectives and principal investment strategies.
A.  Security valuation – The Trust’s Board of Trustees (the Board) has established the Valuation and Liquidity 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), an affiliate of the Fund. Among other things, these monthly meetings include a review and analysis of backtesting reports, pricing service quotation comparisons, illiquid securities and fair value determinations, pricing movements, and daily stale price monitoring.

Notes to Portfolio of Investments    |    10



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), exchange-traded notes (ETNs), and equity-linked structured notes, except as otherwise noted, traded primarily on a domestic securities exchange or the 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. Securities traded primarily on foreign securities exchanges or markets are valued at the last quoted sale 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 ask prices generally is used. Actively traded equity securities listed on a domestic exchange generally are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Certain preferred and equity securities traded in inactive markets generally are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
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 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 many cases, events affecting the values of foreign securities that occur between the time of their last quoted sale or official closing price and the close of normal trading on the NYSE on a day the Fund’s NAV is calculated will not need to be reflected in the value of the Fund’s foreign securities. However, the Manager and the Fund's subadvisor(s) will monitor for events that would materially affect the value of the Fund’s foreign securities and the Committee will consider such available information that it deems relevant and will determine a fair value for the affected foreign securities in accordance with valuation procedures. Such securities are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
3.  Investments in open-end investment companies, commingled, or other funds, other than ETFs, are valued at their NAV at the end of each business day and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
4.  Short-term debt securities with original or remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, provided that amortized cost represents the fair value of such securities.
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 ask prices or the last sales price to value a security when, in the Service’s judgment, these prices are readily available and are representative of the security's market value. For many securities, such prices are not readily available. The Service generally prices those securities based on methods which 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. Generally, debt securities are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; however, to the extent the valuations include significant unobservable inputs, the securities would be categorized in Level 3.
6.  Repurchase agreements are valued at cost.

11    |    USAA MSCI International Value Momentum Blend Index ETF



7.   In the event that price quotations or valuations are not readily available, are not reflective of market value, or a significant event has been recognized in relation to a security or class of securities, the securities are valued in good faith by the Committee in accordance with valuation procedures approved by the Board. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and the actual price realized from the sale of a security may differ materially from the fair value price. Valuing these securities at fair value is intended to cause the Fund’s 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, other pricing services, 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, evaluation of credit quality, 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 indexes.
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 lending – The Fund, through a securities lending agreement with Citibank, N.A. (Citibank), may lend its securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. The borrowers are required to secure their loans continuously with collateral in an amount at least equal to 102% of the fair value of domestic securities and foreign government securities loaned and 105% of the fair value of foreign securities and all other securities loaned. Collateral may be cash, U.S. government securities, or other securities as permitted by U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) guidelines. Cash collateral may be invested in high-quality short-term investments. Collateral requirements are determined daily based on the value of the Fund’s securities on loan as of the end of the prior business day. Loans are terminable upon demand and the borrower must return the loaned securities within the lesser of one standard settlement period or five business days. Risks relating to securities-lending transactions include that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or return the securities when due, and that the value of the short-term investments will be less than the amount of cash

Notes to Portfolio of Investments    |    12



collateral required to be returned to the borrower. The Fund’s agreement with Citibank does not include master netting provisions. Non-cash collateral received by the Fund may not be sold or re-pledged except to satisfy borrower default. Cash collateral is listed in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments while non-cash collateral is not included.
At November 30, 2018, the Fund had no securities on loan.
D.  The Portfolio of Investments category percentages shown represent the percentages of the investments to net assets, which were $289,560,000 at November 30, 2018, and, in total, may not equal 100%. A category percentage of 0.0% represents less than 0.1% of net assets.
E.  Upcoming Regulatory Matters – In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Final Rule Release No. 33-10233, Investment Company Liquidity Risk Management Programs (Liquidity Rule). The Liquidity Rule requires funds to establish a liquidity risk management program and enhances disclosures regarding funds’ liquidity. The requirements to implement a liquidity risk management program and establish a 15% illiquid investment limit became effective December 1, 2018. However, in February 2018, the SEC issued Release No. IC-33010, Investment Company Liquidity Risk Management Programs; Commission Guidance for In-Kind ETFs, which delayed certain requirements related to liquidity classification, highly liquid investment minimums, and board approval of the liquidity risk management programs to June 1, 2019. The Manager continues to evaluate the impact of this rule on the Fund’s financial statements and various filings.
F.  Upcoming Accounting Pronouncement – In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). The amendments in the ASU impact disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. It is anticipated that this change will enhance the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to the financial statements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted and can include the entire standard or certain provisions that exclude or amend disclosures. The adoption of this ASU guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements and other disclosures.

NOTES TO PORTFOLIO
OF INVESTMENTS
November 30, 2018 (unaudited)
GENERAL NOTES
USAA ETF 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 six separate exchange-traded funds. The USAA MSCI Emerging Markets Value Momentum Blend Index ETF (the Fund) qualifies as a registered investment company under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946. The information presented in this quarterly report pertains only to the Fund, which is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.
On November 6, 2018, United Services Automobile Association (USAA), the parent company of USAA Asset Management Company (AMCO or Manager), the investment adviser to the Fund, announced that AMCO would be acquired by Victory Capital Holdings, Inc. (Victory), a global investment management firm headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio (the Transaction). The closing of the Transaction is expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2019, pending satisfaction of certain closing conditions and approvals, including certain approvals of the Fund's Board of Trustees and of the Fund's shareholders at a special shareholder meeting to be held in 2019. The Transaction is not expected to result in any material changes to the Fund's investment objectives and principal investment strategies.
A.  Security valuation – The Trust’s Board of Trustees (the Board) has established the Valuation and Liquidity 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), an affiliate of the Fund. Among other things, these monthly meetings include a review and analysis of backtesting reports, pricing service quotation comparisons, illiquid securities and fair value determinations, pricing movements, and daily stale price monitoring.

Notes to Portfolio of Investments    |    8



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), exchange-traded notes (ETNs), and equity-linked structured notes, except as otherwise noted, traded primarily on a domestic securities exchange or the 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. Securities traded primarily on foreign securities exchanges or markets are valued at the last quoted sale 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 ask prices generally is used. Actively traded equity securities listed on a domestic exchange generally are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Certain preferred and equity securities traded in inactive markets generally are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
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 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 many cases, events affecting the values of foreign securities that occur between the time of their last quoted sale or official closing price and the close of normal trading on the NYSE on a day the Fund’s NAV is calculated will not need to be reflected in the value of the Fund’s foreign securities. However, the Manager and the Fund's subadvisor(s) will monitor for events that would materially affect the value of the Fund’s foreign securities and the Committee will consider such available information that it deems relevant and will determine a fair value for the affected foreign securities in accordance with valuation procedures. Such securities are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
3.  Investments in open-end investment companies, commingled, or other funds, other than ETFs, are valued at their NAV at the end of each business day and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
4.  Short-term debt securities with original or remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, provided that amortized 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 readily available, are not reflective of market value, or a significant event has been recognized in relation to a security or class of securities, the securities are valued in good faith by the Committee in accordance with valuation procedures approved by the Board. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and the actual price realized from the sale of a security may differ materially from the fair value price. Valuing these securities at fair value is intended to cause the Fund’s 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, other pricing services, or widely

9    |    USAA MSCI Emerging Markets Value Momentum Blend Index ETF



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, evaluation of credit quality, and an evaluation of the forces that influenced the market in which the securities are purchased and sold. Level 2 securities include equity securities that are valued using market inputs and other observable factors deemed by the Manager to appropriately reflect fair value.
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 indexes.
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 lending – The Fund, through a securities lending agreement with Citibank, N.A. (Citibank), may lend its securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. The borrowers are required to secure their loans continuously with collateral in an amount at least equal to 102% of the fair value of domestic securities and foreign government securities loaned and 105% of the fair value of foreign securities and all other securities loaned. Collateral may be cash, U.S. government securities, or other securities as permitted by U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) guidelines. Cash collateral may be invested in high-quality short-term investments. Collateral requirements are determined daily based on the value of the Fund’s securities on loan as of the end of the prior business day. Loans are terminable upon demand and the borrower must return the loaned securities within the lesser of one standard settlement period or five business days. Risks relating to securities-lending transactions include that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or return the securities when due, and that the value of the short-term investments will be less than the amount of cash collateral required to be returned to the borrower. The Fund’s agreement with Citibank does not include master netting provisions. Non-cash collateral received by the Fund may not be sold or re-pledged except to satisfy borrower default. Cash collateral is listed in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments while non-cash collateral is not included.
At November 30, 2018, the Fund had no securities on loan.
D.  The Portfolio of Investments category percentages shown represent the percentages of the investments to net assets, which were $166,598,000 at November 30, 2018, and, in total, may

Notes to Portfolio of Investments    |    10



not equal 100%. A category percentage of 0.0% represents less than 0.1% of net assets.
E.  Upcoming Regulatory Matters – In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Final Rule Release No. 33-10233, Investment Company Liquidity Risk Management Programs (Liquidity Rule). The Liquidity Rule requires funds to establish a liquidity risk management program and enhances disclosures regarding funds’ liquidity. The requirements to implement a liquidity risk management program and establish a 15% illiquid investment limit became effective December 1, 2018. However, in February 2018, the SEC issued Release No. IC-33010, Investment Company Liquidity Risk Management Programs; Commission Guidance for In-Kind ETFs, which delayed certain requirements related to liquidity classification, highly liquid investment minimums, and board approval of the liquidity risk management programs to June 1, 2019. The Manager continues to evaluate the impact of this rule on the Fund’s financial statements and various filings.
F.  Upcoming Accounting Pronouncement – In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). The amendments in the ASU impact disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. It is anticipated that this change will enhance the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to the financial statements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted and can include the entire standard or certain provisions that exclude or amend disclosures. The adoption of this ASU guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements and other disclosures.
