Important Information

Through  our  ongoing  efforts to reduce  expenses  and  respond to  shareholder
requests, your annual and semiannual report mailings are "streamlined." One copy
of each report is sent to each address,  rather than to every registered  owner.
For many  shareholders  and their families,  this eliminates  duplicate  copies,
saving paper and postage costs to the Fund.

If you are the  primary  shareholder  on at least  one  account,  prefer  not to
participate in streamlining, and would like to continue receiving one report per
registered account owner, you may request this in writing to:

Message from the President

[PHOTOGRAPH OF PRESIDENT AND VICE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD, MICHAEL J.C. ROTH, CFA,
APPEARS HERE.]

When I was a second  lieutenant  in pilot  training at Williams  AFB, I read the
book THIS KIND OF WAR by T. R.  Fehrenbach.  More than 30 years  later I met Ted
Fehrenbach  here in San  Antonio  where he resides  and had a chance to tell him
that I think he is a brilliant man. I recall reading that LBJ declared THIS KIND
OF WAR required reading for people in his  administration.  Ted writes a regular
Sunday column for the San Antonio  Express News, and he continues to delight me.
Last year he wrote a piece around Columbus Day, which included this observation:

    "Spain was clearly  disappointed  with her admiral.  While he had spent much
    money charting  islands with  mosquitoes  and a miserable  climate (from the
    Euro  standpoint)...the  Portuguese  had reached the real India and returned
    with  fabulous  profits.  Of course,  Columbus had opened up to Spain a vast
    empire, filled with treasures of every kind, but then few investors take the
    long view."

As I read this  passage,  I thought  that Ted's  understanding  of markets is as
sharp as his grasp of history.  At the beginning of 1999, there indeed seemed to
be few  investors  with the long view.  There  were many  people  declaring  the
absolute  superiority of the S&P 500 and growth stocks,  especially tech stocks,
while  proclaiming  that strategies such as value investing and asset allocation
were no longer relevant.

The S&P 500 and its index funds have had a wondrous four years,  but here we are
five-and-a-half  months into 1999, and what a difference  we're seeing:  The Dow
Jones  Industrial  Average  is up more than  twice as much as the S&P 500 so far
this year.

The S&P 500 Index is heavily influenced by companies like America Online,  Cisco
Systems, Intel, IBM, Lucent, MCI, and Microsoft.  The Dow also includes IBM, but
its impetus is coming from companies such as J.P.  Morgan,  Alcoa,  Caterpillar,
Disney,  General Motors,  and Union Carbide.  The upshot of this is that you can
afford to take the long  view.  Value  investing  or asset  allocation  are just
different from a growth  philosophy.  My view,  throughout the last 27 years, is
that these methods go through cycles of in-favor and  out-of-favor.  But they do
cycle.  And just  about the time you begin to read that one of them is no longer
viable,  you can bet the market will change.  A good  discipline  practiced well
will give you a very good chance of prospering in the long run.

Sincerely,

Michael J.C. Roth, CFA
President and
Vice Chairman of the Board

Message from the Managers

FUND OVERVIEW
Through an asset allocation  strategy  encompassing  domestic and  international
stocks  and  bonds,  the Growth  Strategy  Fund  seeks to remove the  individual
investor's asset allocation burden.

LARGE CAPITALIZATION STOCKS
The  large  cap  stock  sector  of the  Fund  outperformed  the S&P  500  Index.
Throughout  the  course  of the past  fiscal  year,  our  strongest  areas  were
technology, consumer cyclicals, and health care. Our weakest areas were consumer
staples and financials.

Our investment  strategy is to concentrate  our purchases in undervalued  growth
stocks within the context of a broadly  diversified  portfolio.  Following  this
strategy,   we  recently  purchased  three  out-of-favor   health  care  related
companies:  the  drug  distributors  McKesson  HBOC,  Bergen  Brunswig,  and the
drugstore Rite Aid. Each was selling at compelling  valuations and has excellent
growth prospects.  In mid-April of this year, we purchased several  out-of-favor
growth cyclical companies as well, including Emerson Electric,  Caterpillar, and
Illinois Tool Works. We made these purchases  because we believe that the severe
problems in the emerging  markets are diminishing.  As the developing  economies
begin growing  again,  the demand for the products of these three  companies may
also rise.

As of May 31, 1999, 32.4% of the Fund's net assets were in large  capitalization
stocks.

SMALL CAPITALIZATION STOCKS
The small  capitalization  category of the Fund invests in companies with market
capitalizations less than $1 billion. These companies have rapid earnings growth
potential,  are  innovative,  and  are  well  positioned  to take  advantage  of
long-term social and economic trends.

During the year ended May 31, 1999, the small capitalization  category benefited
from strong returns in its technology holdings, particularly in the Internet and
semiconductor  industries.  Other  areas  of  strength  were  telecommunications
services,  biotech,  and retail.  These factors enabled the small capitalization
category to outperform the Russell 2000 Index.(1) On the other hand, weakness in
energy and apparel companies had a mildly negative effect on overall results.

The small  capitalization  category accounted for 26.7% of the Fund's net assets
as of May 31, 1999.

INTERNATIONAL STOCKS
This section of the Fund did not perform well throughout the past 12 months. The
problem was twofold.  First, we were overweighted in Europe, which was generally
weak compared to the rest of the world.  Further,  our European  portfolio had a
relatively  high exposure to energy and cyclical  stocks,  which  underperformed
despite their strong  recovery late in the year.  Second,  although Japan posted
strong returns for the year, we were underweighted in this market. Nevertheless,
our  individual  stock  picks  (mainly in  technology,  telecommunications,  and
financials) did well versus the overall Japanese market.

We have recently  slightly  reduced our exposure to Europe and raised our stakes
in Japan and the  emerging  markets.  At the same time,  we remain  committed to
Europe because of the very  attractive  valuations  (relative to both the United
States and Japan) and our continuing  belief in the future economic  benefits of
the European Monetary Union.

International stocks accounted for 19.7% of the Fund's assets on May 31, 1999.

BONDS
We manage  the bond  sector so that  income is the  primary  component  of total
return.  There have been significant  shifts in investor sentiment over the past
year.  During the second half of 1998,  investors fled to the safety of Treasury
securities and sold off other debt securities because of the fear of a financial
meltdown.   This  hurt  our  performance   during  that  time  because  we  were
underweighted  in Treasuries.  However,  with the Federal Reserve Board lowering
overnight  rates  .75%,  the  markets  settled  down and  investors  became more
comfortable purchasing other debt classes besides Treasuries.

Since the beginning of the year,  interest  rates have risen  dramatically.  The
economy is performing much more strongly than anticipated,  and the fear is that
inflation will rise as a consequence. The Federal Reserve Board recently changed
its bias toward increasing overnight rates.

Within the Fund's bond portion, the best performing holdings were the Collateral
Mortgage  Obligations.  These  instruments  are  defensive  in  nature  and will
outperform  most other debt  securities in a  rising-interest-rate  environment.
MacSaver Financial bonds have  underperformed over the past year but we continue
to hold these bonds because their financial condition has begun to improve.

Looking to the  future,  we feel that the  economy  will  continue to be strong,
resulting in corporate bonds and  mortgage-backed  and  asset-backed  securities
increasing  in relative  value.  As of May 31, 1999,  bonds made up 16.8% of the
Fund's net assets.

PERFORMANCE
For the 12 months ended May 31, 1999,  the Fund returned  8.46%,  slightly below
the 8.54%  return  of the  Flexible  Portfolio(2)  average  according  to Lipper
Analytical  Services,   Inc.(3)  The  Fund's  slightly  unfavorable  performance
compared to its peer group was caused  primarily  by the  international  sector,
which was down, and to a lesser degree by the bond and small cap sectors.  Large
cap stocks performed well.

USAA INVESTMENT TRUST:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,  including
the portfolio of investments  of the USAA Growth  Strategy Fund, a series of the
USAA  Investment  Trust,  as of May 31,  1999,  and  the  related  statement  of
operations for the year then ended,  the statements of changes in net assets for
each of the years in the two-year period then ended,  and financial  highlights,
presented  in note 9 to the  financial  statements,  for  each of the  years  or
periods in the  four-year  period then ended.  These  financial  statements  and
financial  highlights are the  responsibility of the Company's  management.  Our
responsibility  is to  express  an opinion  on these  financial  statements  and
financial highlights based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable  assurance  about  whether the  financial  statements  and  financial
highlights are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis,  evidence  supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial
statements.  Our procedures included  confirmation of securities owned as of May
31, 1999,  by  correspondence  with the  custodian  and  brokers.  An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by  management,   as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall   financial   statement
presentation.  We believe  that our audits  provide a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements and financial  highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material  respects,  the financial  position of the
USAA Growth  Strategy Fund as of May 31, 1999, the results of its operations for
the year then ended,  the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the
two-year period then ended,  and the financial  highlights for each of the years
or periods in the  four-year  period then ended,  in conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles.

USAA GROWTH STRATEGY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

May 31, 1999


(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
USAA INVESTMENT TRUST (the Trust),  registered under the Investment  Company Act
of 1940, as amended, is a diversified,  open-end  management  investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust consisting of eleven separate funds.
The information presented in this annual report pertains only to the USAA Growth
Strategy  Fund (the Fund).  The Fund's  investment  objective  is to seek a high
total return,  with reduced risk over time, through an asset allocation strategy
which emphasizes capital appreciation and gives secondary emphasis to income.

A.  Security  valuation - The value of each  security is  determined  (as of the
close of  trading  on the New  York  Stock  Exchange  on each  business  day the
Exchange is open) as set forth below:

1.  Portfolio  securities,  except as  otherwise  noted,  traded  primarily on a
domestic  securities  exchange  are  valued  at the  last  sales  price  on that
exchange.  Portfolio securities traded primarily on foreign securities exchanges
are generally  valued at the closing  values of such  securities on the exchange
where primarily traded. If no sale is reported, the average of the bid and asked
prices is generally used depending upon local custom or regulation.

2.  Over-the-counter  securities  are priced at the last sales  price or, if not
available, at the average of the bid and asked prices.

3.  Securities  purchased  with  maturities  of 60 days or less  are  stated  at
amortized cost which approximates market value.

4.  Other  debt and  government  securities  are valued  each  business day by a
pricing  service (the Service)  approved by the Trust's  Board of Trustees.  The
Service uses the mean between quoted bid and asked prices or the last sale price
to price securities when, in the Service's  judgement,  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  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.

5.  Securities  which cannot be valued by the methods set forth  above,  and all
other assets,  are valued in good faith at fair value,  using methods determined
by  USAA  Investment   Management   Company  (the  Manager)  under  the  general
supervision of the Board of Trustees.

B.  Federal taxes - The Fund's policy is to comply with the  requirements of the
Internal  Revenue Code  applicable  to  regulated  investment  companies  and to
distribute  substantially all of its income to its shareholders.  Therefore,  no
federal  income or excise  tax  provision  is  required.  As a result of certain
permanent  differences between book and tax basis accounting,  reclassifications
were made to the  statement of assets and  liabilities  to decrease  accumulated
undistributed net investment income by $100,000 and to increase  accumulated net
realized gain on investments by $100,000.

C.  Investments in securities - Security  transactions  are accounted for on the
date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date).  Gain or loss from sales
of investment  securities  is computed on the  identified  cost basis.  Dividend
income,  less foreign taxes, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date. If the
ex-dividend  date has passed,  certain  dividends  from foreign  securities  are
recorded upon  notification.  Interest  income is recorded on the accrual basis.
Discounts  and  premiums  on  securities  are  amortized  over  the  life of the
respective securities.

D.  Foreign currency  translations - The assets of the  Fund may be  invested in
the securities  of foreign  issuers.  Since the  accounting  records of the Fund
are  Maintained in U.S.  dollars,  foreign  currency amounts are translated into
U.S. dollars on the following basis:

1.  Market  value of  securities,  other assets,  and  liabilities at  the  mean
between the bid and asked  translation  rates of such  currencies  against  U.S.
dollars on a daily basis.

2.  Purchases  and sales of  securities,  income,  and  expenses  at the rate of
exchange obtained from an independent pricing service on the respective dates of
such transactions.

Net realized and unrealized foreign currency  gains/losses  occurring during the
holding  period  of  investments  are  a  component  of  realized  gain/loss  on
investments   and   unrealized    appreciation/depreciation    on   investments,
respectively.

Net realized foreign currency gains/losses arise from sales of foreign currency,
currency  gains/losses  realized  between  the  trade  and  settlement  dates on
security  transactions,  and from the difference  between  amounts of dividends,
interest,  and foreign  withholding  taxes  recorded on the Fund's books and the
U.S. dollar  equivalent of the amounts  received.  Net realized foreign currency
gains/losses  are  reclassified  from  accumulated  net  realized  gain/loss  to
accumulated  undistributed  net investment income on the statement of assets and
liabilities  as  such  amounts  are  treated  as  ordinary  income/loss  for tax
purposes.  Net unrealized  foreign  currency  exchange  gains/losses  arise from
changes  in the  value of assets  and  liabilities  other  than  investments  in
securities resulting from changes in the exchange rate.

E.  Use of estimates - The  preparation of  financial statements  in  conformity
with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to make
estimates and assumptions  that may affect the reported amounts in the financial
statements.


(2) LINES OF CREDIT
The Fund participates with other USAA funds in three joint short-term  revolving
loan  agreements  totaling  $850  million,  two with  USAA  Capital  Corporation
(CAPCO),  an affiliate of the Manager ($250  million  committed and $500 million
uncommitted), and one with Bank of America ($100 million committed). The purpose
of the  agreements  is to meet  temporary  or  emergency  cash needs,  including
redemption  requests that might  otherwise  require the untimely  disposition of
securities.  Subject to availability  under both agreements with CAPCO, the Fund
may borrow from CAPCO an amount up to 5% of the Fund's  total  assets at CAPCO's
borrowing rate with no markup.  Subject to availability under its agreement with
Bank of America,  the Fund may borrow from Bank of America, at Bank of America's
borrowing  rate  plus a markup,  an  amount  which,  when  added to  outstanding
borrowings under the CAPCO  agreements,  does not exceed 25% of the Fund's total
assets.  The Fund had no borrowings under either of these agreements  during the
year ended May 31, 1999.


(3) DISTRIBUTIONS
Distributions  of  net  investment  income  and  realized  gains  from  security
transactions not offset by capital losses are made in the succeeding fiscal year
or as otherwise required to avoid the payment of federal taxes.


(4) INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Cost of purchases and proceeds from  sales/maturities  of securities,  excluding
short-term  securities,  for the period ended May 31, 1999,  were $100.9 million
and $116.1 million, respectively.

Gross  unrealized  appreciation and depreciation of investments at May 31, 1999,
was $46.1 million and $15.0 million, respectively.


(5) FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS
A forward currency contract  (currency  contract) is a commitment to purchase or
sell a foreign  currency at a specified  date, at a negotiated  price.  The Fund
currently enters into currency contracts only in connection with the purchase or
sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency.  These contracts allow the
Fund to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of the security.  Currency contracts are
valued on a daily basis using foreign  currency  exchange rates obtained from an
independent  pricing service.  Risks of entering into currency contracts include
the potential  inability of the  counterparty  to meet the terms of the contract
and the Fund giving up the opportunity for potential profit.

At May 31, 1999,  the terms of open foreign  currency  contracts were as follows
(in thousands):

(6) TRANSACTIONS WITH MANAGER
A.  Management fees - USAA Investment  Management Company carries out the Fund's
investment policies and manages the Fund's portfolio. The Fund's management fees
are computed at .75% of its annual average net assets.

B.  Transfer agent's fees - USAA Transfer Agency Company, d/b/a USAA Shareholder
Account Services, an affiliate of the Manager,  provides transfer agent services
to the Fund  based on an  annual  charge  of $26 per  shareholder  account  plus
out-of-pocket expenses.

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

D.  Brokerage services - USAA  Brokerage Services,  a discount brokerage service
of the Manager,  may execute  portfolio  transactions  for the Fund.  The amount
of brokerage commissions paid to USAA Brokerage Services during the period ended
May 31, 1999, was $11,000.


(7) TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Certain trustees and officers of the Fund are also directors,  officers,  and/or
employees  of the  Manager.  None of the  affiliated  trustees or Fund  officers
received any compensation from the Fund.


(8) YEAR 2000 (UNAUDITED)
Like other mutual  funds,  the Fund could be adversely  affected if the computer
systems used by the Manager and the Fund's other service  providers are not able
to perform  their  intended  functions  effectively  after  1999  because of the
inability of computer  software to distinguish the year 2000 from the year 1900.
The Manager is taking  steps to address  this  potential  year 2000 problem with
respect  to the  computer  systems  that  they  use and to  obtain  satisfactory
assurances  that the comparable  steps are being taken by the Fund's other major
service providers.  At this time, however,  there can be no assurance that these
steps  will be  sufficient  to avoid  any  adverse  impact to the Fund from this
problem.
