A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN Dear Shareholder, The U.S. stock market rallied strongly over most of the six-month period ended April 30, 1998. So did many European markets. Despite investors' concerns about Asia's financial crisis last autumn, economic conditions continued to provide a solid underpinning for U.S. business activity. Once again, blue chips led the rally, though many smaller-cap stocks posted very solid gains in absolute terms. You'll find more insight about the overall market beginning on page 4. [PHOTO] As pleased as we are with the performance of our Funds during this period, we want to be realistic. Over most of this century, for example, the U.S. stock market has returned an average of 11% to 12% PER YEAR, not per quarter. We encourage investors to keep that in mind should the market revert to its historical pattern of more-moderate performance. Our philosophy has always been that REGULAR INVESTING, regardless of short-term market trends, is the best strategy over the long term. By investing in one of our SchwabFunds-Registered Trademark-, you've already taken an important step in building a portfolio that can help you meet your future goals. On the following pages, we outline several ways to help ensure that you reach those goals by establishing--or maintaining--an ongoing investment program. NEW INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES TO CONSIDER We are proud to introduce a new addition to our family of Funds: THE SCHWAB MARKETTRACK ALL EQUITY PORTFOLIO. (SCHWAB MARKETTRACK PORTFOLIOS-TM- is the new name of Schwab's Asset Director-Registered Trademark- Funds.) This Portfolio, which targets 100% equity investing, can provide you with diversified exposure to three different areas of the stock market: U.S. large-company, U.S. small-company and international stocks. We also offer three other MarketTrack Portfolios: Growth, Balanced and Conservative. Each invests a different proportion of its assets in bonds and cash in addition to stocks. For additional information and a free prospectus on the Schwab MarketTrack Portfolios or any of our SchwabFunds, please call us toll free at 1-800-435-4000. Each prospectus contains more-complete information on our Funds, including their fees and expenses; please read the prospectus carefully before you invest. The support of investors like you has helped Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM) become one of the largest and fastest-growing mutual fund families in the nation. CSIM now manages more than $63 billion in assets on behalf of more than 3.3 million SchwabFunds shareholders. We offer a full spectrum of 34 mutual funds for investors with varying financial situations and goals. Once again, thank you for your investment in SchwabFunds. We continue to do everything we can to warrant the trust you have placed in us. Sincerely, /s/ Charles R. Schwab Charles R. Schwab April 30, 1998 1

WHAT EVERY INVESTOR SHOULD KNOW WHY ASSET ALLOCATION MATTERS As most investors know, one of the most compelling reasons to invest in a mutual fund is diversification. By allocating your assets across many different securities, a fund helps reduce the risk that you might otherwise encounter by owning just a few stocks or bonds. Don't forget, however, that diversification across your portfolio can be just as important as diversification within one of the mutual funds you own. As you probably know, stocks have historically offered much higher returns over the long term than bonds, cash or other asset classes, but those returns have come at the price of higher volatility. To help mitigate some of that risk, many investors often include at least some bonds and cash in their portfolios. They also diversify their equity exposure across different market segments-- such as U.S. large-cap, U.S. small-cap and international, which have tended to move with less than perfect correlation over time. In short, allocating assets across market segments may help reduce your overall portfolio risk. REGULAR-INVESTING STRATEGIES Another way to help dampen the effects of short-term market volatility is to invest the same amount of money on a regular basis. With this investment strategy, known as DOLLAR-COST AVERAGING, you automatically buy more shares when stock or bond prices are low and fewer when they're high. A hypothetical example can help illustrate this concept. Let's say you invest $400 on a monthly basis in a single mutual fund, as shown in the illustration below. Because of fluctuating prices, your per-share purchase price varies monthly. A simple average of your five purchase prices would yield $8.20 per share; however, your AVERAGE COST BASIS (your total investment divided by the number of shares actually purchased) would be significantly lower--by more than $0.50 per share. The net result in this example is that your average cost per share is reduced and you'd have purchased more shares than you would have had you paid the average share price over the five-month period. [Download Table] No. of Fixed Shares Investment Share Price Purchased ------------------------------------------------------------- Month 1 $400 $10 40 ------------------------------------------------------------- Month 2 $400 $8 50 ------------------------------------------------------------- Month 3 $400 $5 80 ------------------------------------------------------------- Month 4 $400 $8 50 ------------------------------------------------------------- Month 5 $400 $10 40 ------------------------------------------------------------- Totals: $2,000 $41 260 AVERAGE SHARE PRICE ($41 DIVIDED BY 5 periods): $8.20 YOUR AVERAGE COST BASIS ($2,000 DIVIDED BY 260 shares): $7.69 PER-SHARE ADVANTAGE: $0.51 This example is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to predict or guarantee the performance of any particular fund available through Schwab. (Of course, in this example, hindsight shows you that your best move would have been to invest your entire $2,000 in Month 3 when the share price was at a low of $5--but it's unlikely that you would have been able to predict that.) 2

THE SCHWAB APPROACH TO INVESTING - START WITH THE BASICS FOR LONG-TERM INVESTING. - GET STARTED NOW! - KNOW YOURSELF. - INVEST IN THE STOCK MARKET FOR GROWTH. - TAKE A LONG-TERM VIEW. - BUILD A DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO. - CONSIDER BONDS AND CASH FOR DIVERSIFICATION AND INCOME. - MINIMIZE YOUR EXPENSES. - STAY ON TRACK. - BECOME A LIFELONG INVESTOR. In addition to reducing your per-share costs over time, dollar-cost averaging provides you another benefit: the discipline of investing regularly. You're more likely to maintain a regular investment plan if it's automatic; not only do you not have to even think about it, but you minimize any propensity to skip an investment in favor of some other expenditure. To encourage this discipline, Schwab offers you two convenient, no-cost ways to begin or maintain a program of regular investing: Schwab's AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN (AIP) allows you to automatically purchase--on a regular basis-- additional shares in mutual funds that you already own. For amounts as little as $100 per month, you can use the cash or sweep shares of your existing Schwab Money Fund,(1) or you can enroll in Schwab's free MoneyLink Transfer Service-Registered Trademark- to automatically transfer money to your Schwab account. With MONEYLINK TRANSFER SERVICE, you can arrange to regularly and automatically transfer $50 or more from your bank account, payroll or government check into your Schwab account. It's a great way to build your investment over time.(2) Please be aware that these programs--and dollar-cost averaging in general--do not ensure a profit or protect against a loss, and investors should know that markets fall as well as rise. Over the long term, however, dollar-cost averaging may help to smooth out volatility caused by short-term market trends. For more information about these programs, please call us at 1-800-435-4000. WE MAKE IT EASY TO INVEST We try to make it easy and convenient for you to invest in our SchwabFunds-Registered Trademark-. In addition to our automated methods, you can also invest in person at any of our nationwide branches, through our Web site at WWW.SCHWAB.COM and through our automated touch-tone telephone service, TELEBROKER-REGISTERED TRADEMARK-, by calling 1-800-272-4922. (1)Includes uninvested cash and margin cash available. If sufficient cash is not available, your automatic purchases will not be made. (2)The terms of your specific Schwab account will dictate when your Schwab MoneyLink transfers are swept into a money market fund and begin earning money market dividend income. KEEPING YOU INFORMED One of our top priorities at Charles Schwab is to keep you informed about your investments and potential opportunities in the marketplace. A wealth of information about our investment philosophy and Funds, as well as the market and economic environment, can be found at our Web site: WWW.SCHWAB.COM/SCHWABFUNDS 3

MARKET OVERVIEW U.S. GROWTH RATE U.S. GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT (GDP) grew at a strong real rate of 3.8% in 1997 and 4.2% in the first quarter of 1998--well in excess of the Federal Reserve's estimated noninflationary growth rate of 2.0% to 2.75%.

At the time of this writing, THE U.S. ECONOMY APPEARS POISED FOR CONTINUED GROWTH, further extending the current economic expansion that began in 1991. Many economists expect Asia's economic problems to reduce 1998 U.S. GDP growth by only a relatively minor 0.25 to 1.0 percentage point. PRIOR TO THE FOURTH-QUARTER ONSET OF THE "ASIAN FLU," the U.S. economy's strength and tight labor markets led investors to speculate about whether wage and price inflation were accelerating. Some investors also believed that the Federal Reserve was on the verge of raising interest rates to head off a potential acceleration in both wage and price inflation. As Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said in his February congressional testimony, "The key question going forward is whether the restraint building from the turmoil in Asia will be sufficient to check inflationary tendencies that might otherwise result from the strength of domestic spending and tightening labor markets." At the moment, many economists believe that Federal Reserve policy-makers are now more inclined to raise interest rates than they have been in the past, but are refraining from doing so because inflation remains tame and Asia's continuing problems may dampen both global and domestic growth. UNEMPLOYMENT JOB GROWTH IN THE UNITED STATES HAS REMAINED ROBUST. In fact, the U.S. unemployment rate reached 4.3% in April--the lowest level in 28 years.

ALTHOUGH INFLATION HAS BEEN WELL CONTAINED, the combination of a tight labor market (as evidenced by low unemployment rates) and strong economic growth typically leads to inflationary pressures on wages and, ultimately, prices. In this environment, productivity growth becomes particularly important. 4

Strong productivity gains, such as those achieved in 1997, allow manufacturers and other businesses to limit price increases in the face of rising wages, without sacrificing profit margins.

THE CPI ROSE just 1.4% over the year ended April 1998--the lowest rate of increase since 1986. Its core rate (which excludes the more volatile food and energy components) rose 2.1%--the lowest rate of increase since 1965. Investors were somewhat more concerned about the ECI, and its wages and salaries component in particular. That segment of the ECI increased 3.7% during the year ended April 1998. EVEN THOUGH CURRENT LEVELS OF INFLATION ARE VERY LOW, Federal Reserve policy-makers have indicated that they believe the risk of inflation is increasing, and they are poised to act preemptively by raising interest rates if they believe that is necessary. The Federal Reserve did raise interest rates in March 1997, increasing the federal funds rate by 0.25 percentage point to 5.5%. By the end of April, many economists believed that Federal Reserve policy-makers were once again inclined to raise interest rates, but there was a lack of consensus about when the Federal Reserve would raise interest rates, if in fact it would, and by how much. TOTAL-RETURN PERFORMANCE MOST U.S. STOCKS posted strong total returns from November 1, 1997, through April 30, 1998. Large-caps continued to outperform small-caps, as reflected in the 22.5% return of the S&P 500-Registered Trademark- Index versus the 13.4% return of the Schwab Small-Cap Index-Registered Trademark- over the period. Amazingly, the S&P 500 Index posted its thirteenth consecutive quarterly gain during the first quarter of 1998 and posted an incredible return of 41% for the 12-month period ended April 1998. INTERNATIONAL STOCKS, as represented by the Schwab International Index-Registered Trademark-, gained 15.2% over the six-month period, primarily on the strength of European markets. FIXED-INCOME RETURNS were more in line with long-term expectations during the reporting period. Bond returns, as represented by the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, were 3.6% over the six-month reporting period. 5

PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS. The indices are intended to represent the returns of specific market sectors during the funds' six-month reporting period and do not reflect the performance of any fund. Indices are unmanaged and, unlike a fund, do not reflect the payment of advisory fees and other expenses associated with an investment in a fund. Investors cannot invest in an index directly. S&P 500 PRICE/EARNINGS RATIO THE PRICE/EARNINGS RATIO for the S&P 500 Index reached its highest value ever during the reporting period: It stood at 26.5 at the close of the reporting period, well above its 30-year average of 14.8. The price/earnings ratio, also known as a multiple, is the price of a stock divided by its earnings per share and generally indicates how much investors are willing to pay for a company's earning potential. Based on other traditional market valuation measures such as the price-to-book value ratio or dividend yield, the U.S. stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, also reached historic highs during the reporting period.

THE PRIMARY FACTORS DRIVING THESE HISTORIC EQUITY VALUATIONS have been low inflation, low interest rates, healthy corporate earnings expectations, a decline in the amount of equities outstanding (due to merger activity and share buybacks) and high levels of consumer optimism. Changes in any of these factors could have a negative impact on these lofty market valuations. INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE MOST EUROPEAN EQUITY MARKETS were strong during the six months ended April 30, 1998, with the highest returns in Spain, Italy, Finland and Ireland. In contrast, many Asian markets declined sharply over the period; the weakest were Malaysia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Japan. 6

This graph compares the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Schwab S&P 500 Fund Investor Shares and e.Shares, made at their inception, with a similar investment in the S&P 500-Registered Trademark- Index. Also shown is the difference between the total returns of the S&P 500 Index and the Schwab S&P 500 Fund, which is often referred to as the "tracking differential." The tracking differential arises due to several factors. For example, the Fund, unlike the index, incurs trading costs when it buys or sells securities and also has operating expenses. The Fund also may hold nonindex securities that can produce either higher or lower returns than their index counterparts. Furthermore, unlike the index, the Fund holds a portion of its assets in cash. THIS INFORMATION IS HISTORICAL AND DOES NOT REPRESENT FUTURE RESULTS. TOTAL RETURNS ASSUME REINVESTMENT OF ALL DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAINS DISTRIBUTIONS.

SCHWAB S&P 500 FUND: FUND DISCUSSION QUESTIONS TO THE PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT TEAM Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD? A. The Fund achieved strong total returns for the six-month reporting period: 22.2%, 22.2% and 22.3% for the Investor Shares, e.Shares-TM- and Select Shares-TM-, respectively. All classes of shares closely tracked the Fund's benchmark, the S&P 500-Registered Trademark- Index. As the table below reveals, the Fund also outperformed the average U.S. large-cap fund over the six-month and one-year periods ended April 30, 1998.(1) The Fund's outperformance was even greater on an after-tax basis, a direct result of its tax-efficient investment strategy. [Download Table] AFTER BEFORE TAX: TAX: SIX MONTHS ONE YEAR ONE YEAR ----------------------------------------------------------- Investor Shares 22.17% 40.41% 39.87% ----------------------------------------------------------- e.Shares 22.21% 40.53% 39.96% ----------------------------------------------------------- Select Shares 22.34% -- -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Average Large-Cap Fund(1) 16.99% 35.44% 31.53% ----------------------------------------------------------- Q. WHY CAN INDEX FUNDS BE A SOUND WAY TO IMPLEMENT AN ASSET ALLOCATION PLAN? A. One frequently cited study has shown that the manner in which an investor allocates his or her portfolio among different asset classes can determine the vast majority of the variance in the portfolio's returns.(2) Unless investors build their portfolios with investments that are designed to consistently deliver the performance of the asset classes they wish to track, their portfolios may not behave as they expect. Index funds can be an excellent choice to implement an asset allocation plan because they seek to invest only in the intended asset class and therefore should, because of their investment objectives, achieve returns that closely track those of that benchmark asset class. Index funds should not be subject to the "style drift" that investors may face with many actively managed funds. Consistent with their mission to track their benchmarks, index funds also usually maintain minimal cash holdings. In addition to seeking to deliver consistent asset class performance, index funds are typically efficient from both a cost and a tax standpoint. Most index funds minimize their trading and operating costs by keeping both portfolio turnover and operating expense ratios low. These savings are passed on to investors in the form of higher returns. Q. DO INDEX FUNDS REDUCE INVESTMENT RISK? A. It depends on the type of risk. Most investment risks can be categorized as either SYSTEMATIC (non-diversifiable) or NONSYSTEMATIC (diversifiable). Systematic or nondiversifiable risks are those that may affect all stocks or bonds, such as a bear market caused by adverse economic conditions. Index funds do not safeguard against this type of risk. Their goal is to consistently track their benchmark regardless of how it is performing. They also generally maintain (1)Source: Morningstar, Inc. Returns are load-adjusted. The Large-Cap Fund category contains 798 and 761 funds, respectively, with six-month and one-year track records as of 4/30/98. These funds may or may not follow a tax-efficient strategy similar to that followed by all classes of the Schwab S&P 500 Fund. Also, although many mutual funds have multiple classes of shares, the category average includes only those funds that were classified by Morningstar as a distinct portfolio. This typically means that a fund's oldest class of shares was used. (2)Source: FINANCIAL ANALYSTS JOURNAL, Brinson, Singer, Beebower, May/June 1991. 12

minimal cash balances, so they do not build up a defensive cash position in a negative market environment. Nonsystematic risks are those that affect a particular stock or bond, such as a decline in demand for a company's product or a negative earnings surprise. Nonsystematic risk is also referred to as "diversifiable risk," because an investor can reduce it by diversifying his or her portfolio across a sufficiently large number of companies. Since most broad-based index funds purchase many--in some cases, hundreds of-- securities, they can be effective at minimizing non-systematic or company-specific risk. Q. BECAUSE THE STOCK MARKET HAS REACHED RECORD HIGHS, IS IT TIME TO RETHINK MY ALLOCATION TO STOCKS? A. Whenever the returns of asset classes have diverged significantly from one another, it can be prudent to review your portfolio's asset allocation. For example, U.S. large-cap stocks dramatically outperformed U.S. bonds over the three-year period ended April 30, 1998. This performance disparity is evident in the average annual returns of the Schwab 1000 Fund-Registered Trademark- and the Schwab Total Bond Market Index Fund over that period: The Schwab 1000 Fund, which invests in U.S. large-cap stocks, gained 30.92%, whereas the Schwab Total Bond Market Index Fund rose 8.84%.(1) This disparity may have caused an investor's portfolio asset allocation to shift, as the following example illustrates. Assume that an investor had a hypothetical asset allocation of 60% stocks and 40% bonds (investing in just these two Funds) at the beginning of the three-year period, and reinvested all Fund distributions. By the end of the period, the portfolio's asset allocation mix would have shifted to 72% stocks and 28% bonds--a significant divergence from the investor's original strategy (see chart below). We feel that investors should focus on their own risk profiles, time horizons and income needs to determine the appropriate level of stocks and bonds in their portfolios. Because bond returns historically have not been well correlated with stock returns,(2) combining bonds in a portfolio with other asset classes can be effective in reducing total portfolio volatility. (1)Total return assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains distributions, if any. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal value and investment returns will fluctuate, so an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. A portion of both Funds' expenses was reduced during the period. Without these reductions, the Funds' total returns would have been lower. As of 4/30/98, the one-year and average annual five-year total returns for the Total Bond Market Index Fund were 11.34% and 7.25%, respectively. As of 3/31/98, the one-year, average annual five-year and average annual since-inception (3/5/93) total returns for the Total Bond Market Index Fund were 13.05%, 7.47% and 6.80%, respectively. (2)For the 20-year period ended 12/31/97, the correlation of large-cap stock returns and government bond returns has been 0.38. Source: Symphony Asset Management.

Also, although many mutual funds have multiple classes of shares, the category average includes only those funds that were classified by Morningstar as a distinct portfolio. This typically means that a fund's oldest class of shares was used. 14

This graph compares the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Schwab 1000 Fund Investor Shares, made at its inception, with similar investments in the Schwab 1000 Index-Registered Trademark- and the S&P 500-Registered Trademark- Index. Also shown is the difference between the total returns of the Schwab 1000 Index and the Schwab 1000 Fund, which is often referred to as the "tracking differential." (See page 9 for a more detailed discussion.) THIS INFORMATION IS HISTORICAL AND DOES NOT REPRESENT FUTURE RESULTS. TOTAL RETURNS ASSUME REINVESTMENT OF ALL DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAINS DISTRIBUTIONS.

SCHWAB 1000 FUND-REGISTERED TRADEMARK-: FUND DISCUSSION QUESTIONS TO THE PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT TEAM Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD? A. The Fund achieved strong total returns for the six-month reporting period: 21.99% and 22.07% for the Investor Shares and Select Shares-TM-, respectively. Both classes of shares closely tracked the Fund's benchmark, the Schwab 1000 Index-Registered Trademark-. As the table below shows, the Fund also outperformed the average U.S. large-cap fund over the six-month and five-year periods ended April 30.(1) The Fund's outperformance was even greater on an after-tax basis, a direct result of its tax-efficient investment strategy. [Download Table] BEFORE TAX: AFTER TAX: SIX MONTHS FIVE YEARS* FIVE YEARS* --------------------------------------------------------------- Investor Shares 21.99% 22.20% 21.42% --------------------------------------------------------------- Select Shares 22.07% -- -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Average Large-Cap Fund 16.99% 19.69% 16.87% --------------------------------------------------------------- *Five-year returns represent average annual total returns over the five-year period. Q. HOW DID THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SCHWAB 1000 INDEX COMPARE WITH THAT OF THE S&P 500-REGISTERED TRADEMARK- INDEX? A. As the following table reveals, the performance of the Schwab 1000 Index and that of the S&P 500 Index were virtually identical over the six-month reporting period and from the Fund's inception through April 30, 1998. As we have discussed in previous reports, this will not always be the case, because the indices are not constructed in the same manner; in particular, the Schwab 1000 Index has more mid-cap stock exposure than does the S&P 500 Index, in addition to holding approximately twice as many stocks.

WHY CAN INDEX FUNDS BE A SOUND WAY TO IMPLEMENT AN ASSET ALLOCATION PLAN? A. One frequently cited study has shown that the manner in which an investor allocates his or her portfolio among different asset classes can determine the vast majority of the variance in the portfolio's returns.(2) Unless investors build their portfolios with investments that are designed to consistently deliver the performance of the asset classes they wish to track, their portfolios may not behave as they expect. Index funds can be an excellent choice to implement an asset allocation plan because they seek to invest only in the intended asset class and therefore should, because of their investment objectives, achieve returns that closely track those of that benchmark asset class. Index funds should not be subject to the "style drift" that investors may face with many actively managed funds. Consistent with their mission to track their benchmarks, index funds also usually maintain minimal cash holdings. (1)Source: Morningstar, Inc. Returns are load-adjusted. The Large-Cap Fund category contains 798 and 477 funds, respectively, with six-month and five-year track records as of 4/30/98. These funds may or may not follow a tax-efficient strategy similar to that followed by the Schwab 1000 Fund. Also, although many mutual funds have multiple classes of shares, the category average includes only those funds that were classified by Morningstar as a distinct portfolio. This typically means that a fund's oldest class of shares was used. (2)Source: FINANCIAL ANALYSTS JOURNAL, Brinson, Singer, Beebower, May/June 1991. 18

In addition to seeking to deliver consistent asset class performance, index funds are typically efficient from both a cost and a tax standpoint. Most index funds minimize their trading and operating costs by keeping both portfolio turnover and operating expense ratios low. These savings are passed on to investors in the form of higher returns. Q. DO INDEX FUNDS REDUCE INVESTMENT RISK? A. It depends on the type of risk. Most investment risks can be categorized as either SYSTEMATIC (non-diversifiable) or NONSYSTEMATIC (diversifiable). Systematic or nondiversifiable risks are those that may affect all stocks or bonds, such as a bear market caused by adverse economic conditions. Index funds do not safeguard against this type of risk. Their goal is to consistently track their benchmark, regardless of how it is performing. They also generally maintain minimal cash balances, so they do not build up a defensive cash position in a negative market environment. Nonsystematic risks are those that affect a particular stock or bond, such as a decline in demand for a company's product or a negative earnings surprise. Nonsystematic risk is also referred to as "diversifiable risk," because an investor can reduce it by diversifying his or her portfolio across a sufficiently large number of companies. Since most broad-based index funds purchase many--in some cases, hundreds of-- securities, they can be extremely effective at minimizing nonsystematic or company-specific risk. Q. BECAUSE THE STOCK MARKET HAS REACHED RECORD HIGHS, IS IT TIME TO RETHINK MY ALLOCATION TO STOCKS? A. Whenever the returns of asset classes have diverged significantly from one another, it can be prudent to review your portfolio's asset allocation. For example, U.S. large-cap stocks dramatically outperformed U.S. bonds over the three-year period ended April 30, 1998. This performance disparity is illustrated by the average annual returns of the Schwab 1000 Fund-Registered Trademark- and the Schwab Total Bond Market Index Fund over that period: The Schwab 1000 Fund, which invests in large-cap domestic equities, gained 30.92%, whereas the Schwab Total Bond Market Index Fund rose 8.84%.(1) This disparity may have caused an investor's portfolio asset allocation to shift, as the following example illustrates. Assume that an investor had a hypothetical asset allocation of 60% stocks and 40% bonds (investing in just these two Funds) at the beginning of the three-year period, and reinvested all Fund distributions. By the end of the period, the portfolio's asset allocation mix would have shifted to 72% stocks and 28% bonds--a significant divergence from the investor's original strategy (see chart on the following page). We feel that investors should focus on their own risk profiles, time horizons and income needs to determine the appropriate level of stocks and bonds in their portfolios. Because bond returns historically have not been well correlated with stock returns,(2) combining bonds in a portfolio with other asset classes can be effective in reducing total portfolio volatility. (1)Total return assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains distributions, if any. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal value and investment returns will fluctuate, so an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. A portion of both Funds' expenses was reduced during the period. Without these reductions, the Funds' total returns would have been lower. As of 4/30/98, the one-year and average annual five-year total returns for the Total Bond Market Index Fund were 11.34% and 7.25%, respectively. As of 3/31/98, the one-year, average annual five-year and average annual since-inception (3/5/93) total returns for the Total Bond Market Index Fund were 13.05%, 7.47% and 6.80%, respectively. (2)For the 20-year period ended 12/31/97, the correlation of large-cap stock returns and government bond returns has been 0.38. Source: Symphony Asset Management. 19

YOU OFTEN REFER TO THE SCHWAB 1000 FUND AS "TAX-EFFICIENT." WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? ARE TAX-EFFICIENT FUNDS APPROPRIATE FOR RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS? A. Taxes can erode the returns investors earn from mutual funds held outside a retirement account. That's why it is important to consider their effects on fund performance. As the Tax-Smart Investment Strategy section on page 14 shows, the Schwab 1000 Fund is considerably more "tax-efficient" than the average U.S. large-cap fund. In fact, the Schwab 1000 Fund was one of the first, and is currently the largest, fund designed to be tax-efficient.(1) Since its inception in 1991, the Fund has not paid a single capital gain distribution. Although there's no guarantee that the Fund will be able to maintain this record, especially in a down market, it does illustrate the Fund's tax-efficient management strategy. Generally, index funds are tax-efficient because they are designed to have less portfolio turnover and therefore realize capital gains much less frequently than most actively managed funds; the Fund's tax-efficient strategy has been very effective in eliminating capital gains distributions. However, it's important to note that like most mutual funds, the Schwab 1000 Fund is required to distribute income dividends, which are taxed at standard income-tax rates. The Schwab 1000 Index-Registered Trademark- is rebalanced only once a year, which helps minimize the portfolio turnover of the Schwab 1000 Fund. Furthermore, when stocks are traded, the Portfolio Manager attempts to sells shares with the highest tax basis first and attempts to offset capital gains with capital losses in order to minimize taxable distributions to shareholders. Unlike many index funds, the Schwab 1000 Fund occasionally holds stocks that are no longer included in the index, once again to avoid realizing capital gains. Tax-efficient fund management techniques like those used by the Schwab 1000 Fund are designed to increase the after-tax returns of investors that hold the fund in a taxable, or non-retirement, account. So it is fair to ask whether it can make sense to hold a tax-efficient fund within a retirement account, on which taxes are deferred. The answer is a resounding yes. Some of these techniques, such as selling shares with the highest tax basis first, have no impact on pre-tax returns whatsoever. Others, such as low portfolio turnover and relatively infrequent index rebalancing, have proven to be effective tactics in enhancing long-term investment returns regardless of whether the fund is held inside or outside a retirement account.

TAX-SMART INVESTMENT STRATEGY The Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund seeks to maximize its after-tax performance by using a strategy that helps reduce capital gains distributions. This strategy is designed to help investors keep more of what their money earns.

SCHWAB SMALL-CAP INDEX FUND: FUND DISCUSSION QUESTIONS TO THE PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT TEAM Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD? A. The Fund achieved strong total returns for the six-month reporting period: 11.75% and 11.80% for the Investor Shares and Select Shares-TM-, respectively. Both classes of shares closely tracked the Fund's benchmark, the Schwab Small-Cap Index-Registered Trademark-. Although the Fund's six-month returns are impressive in absolute terms, they lagged those of the U.S. large-cap equity sector. As the table below shows, however, the Fund did manage to outperform the average U.S. small-cap fund over the six-month AND three-year periods ended April 30, 1998.(1) The Fund's outperformance was even greater on an after-tax basis, a direct result of its tax-efficient investment strategy.

Q. HOW DID THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SCHWAB SMALL-CAP INDEX COMPARE WITH THAT OF THE RUSSELL 2000-REGISTERED TRADEMARK-INDEX? A. As shown in the performance figures on page 21, the Schwab Small-Cap Index outperformed the Russell 2000 Index of small-cap stocks by nearly 1.5 percent- age points for the six-month reporting period as well as on an inception-to-date basis. Q. WHY CAN INDEX FUNDS BE A SOUND WAY TO IMPLEMENT AN ASSET ALLOCATION PLAN? A. One frequently cited study has shown that the manner in which an investor allocates his or her portfolio among different asset classes can determine the vast majority of the variance in the portfolio's returns.(2) Unless investors build their portfolios with investments that are designed to consistently deliver the performance of the asset classes they wish to track, their portfolios may not behave as they expect. Index funds can be an excellent choice to implement an asset allocation plan because they seek to invest only in the intended asset class and therefore should, because of their investment objectives, achieve returns that closely track those of that benchmark asset class. Index funds should not be subject to the "style drift" that investors may face with many actively managed funds. Consistent with their mission to track their benchmarks, index funds also usually maintain minimal cash holdings. In addition to seeking to deliver consistent asset class performance, index funds are typically efficient from both a cost and a tax standpoint. Most index funds minimize their trading and operating costs by keeping (1)Source: Morningstar, Inc. Returns are load-adjusted.

These funds may or may not follow a tax- efficient strategy similar to that followed by the Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund. Also, although many mutual funds have multiple classes of shares, the category average includes only those funds that were classified by Morningstar as a distinct portfolio. This typically means that a fund's oldest class of shares was used. (2)Source: FINANCIAL ANALYSTS JOURNAL, Brinson, Singer, Beebower, May/June 1991. 25

SCHWAB SMALL-CAP INDEX FUND: FUND DISCUSSION (continued) both portfolio turnover and operating expense ratios low. These savings are passed on to investors in the form of higher returns. Q. DO INDEX FUNDS REDUCE INVESTMENT RISK? A. It depends on the type of risk. Most investment risks can be categorized as either SYSTEMATIC (non-diversifiable) or NONSYSTEMATIC (diversifiable). Systematic or nondiversifiable risks are those that may affect all stocks or bonds, such as a bear market caused by adverse economic conditions. Index funds do not safeguard against this type of risk. Their goal is to consistently track their benchmark, regardless of how it is performing. They also generally maintain minimal cash balances, so they do not build up a defensive cash position in a negative market environment. Nonsystematic risks are those that affect a particular stock or bond, such as a decline in demand for a company's product or a negative earnings surprise. Nonsystematic risk is also referred to as "diversifiable risk," because an investor can reduce it by diversifying his or her portfolio across a sufficiently large number of companies. Since most broad-based index funds purchase many--in some cases, hundreds of-- securities, they can be extremely effective at minimizing nonsystematic or company-specific risk. Q. BECAUSE THE STOCK MARKET HAS REACHED RECORD HIGHS, IS IT TIME TO RETHINK MY ALLOCATION TO STOCKS? A. Whenever the returns of asset classes have diverged significantly from one another, it can be prudent to review your portfolio's asset allocation. For example, U.S. large-cap stocks dramatically outperformed U.S. bonds over the three-year period ended April 30, 1998. This performance disparity is illustrated by the average annual returns of the Schwab 1000 Fund and the Schwab Total Bond Market Index Fund over that period: The Schwab 1000 Fund, which invests in large-cap domestic equities, gained 30.92%, whereas the Schwab Total Bond Market Index Fund rose 8.84%.(1) This disparity may have caused an investor's portfolio asset allocation to shift, as the following example illustrates. Assume that an investor had a hypothetical asset allocation of 60% stocks and 40% bonds (investing in just these two Funds) at the beginning of the three-year period, and reinvested all Fund distributions. By the end of the period, the portfolio's asset allocation mix would have shifted to 72% stocks and 28% bonds--a significant divergence from the investor's original strategy (see chart on the following page). We feel that investors should focus on their own risk profiles, time horizons and income needs to determine the appropriate level of stocks and bonds in their portfolios. Because bond returns historically have not been well correlated with stock returns,(2) combining bonds in a portfolio with other asset classes can be effective in reducing total portfolio volatility. (1)Total return assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains distributions, if any. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal value and investment returns will fluctuate, so an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. A portion of both Funds' expenses was reduced during the period. Without these reductions, the Funds' total returns would have been lower. As of 4/30/98, the one-year and average annual five-year total returns for the Total Bond Market Index Fund were 11.34% and 7.25%, respectively. As of 3/31/98, the one-year, average annual five-year and average annual since-inception (3/5/93) total returns for the Total Bond Market Index Fund were 13.05%, 7.47% and 6.80%, respectively. (2)For the 20-year period ended 12/31/97, the correlation of large-cap stock returns and government bond returns has been 0.38. Source: Symphony Asset Management. 26

GIVEN THE RECENT UNDERPERFORMANCE OF SMALL-CAP STOCKS, IS THERE STILL A REASON TO INVEST IN THEM? A. If history is any guide, yes. As the first of the graphs at the right illustrates, the total returns of U.S. large-cap and small-cap stocks have been fairly comparable over extended periods of time--such as from 1970 to 1997. Over the past 28 years, small-caps have outperformed large-caps 14 times, over varying lengths of time, as the second graph illustrates. In the remaining 14 years, large-caps outperformed small-caps. There appears to be little, if any, predictability to this seesaw effect. That's why it can be wise for an investor to consider diversifying his or her portfolio by holding both small- and large-cap stocks. For example, small-cap stocks generally outperformed large-cap stocks from 1991 to 1993. Large-cap stocks were the winners from 1994 through 1997. Although not readily apparent from viewing these graphs, small-cap stocks have also exhibited a higher level of volatility over the period shown. In addition, there is generally less publicly available information on small-cap stocks.

TAX-SMART INVESTMENT STRATEGY The Schwab International Index Fund seeks to maximize its after-tax performance by using a strategy that helps reduce capital gains distributions. This strategy is designed to help investors keep more of what their money earns. The chart below illustrates the effects of this strategy on the three-year performance of the Schwab International Index Fund Investor Shares.

SCHWAB INTERNATIONAL INDEX FUND-REGISTERED TRADEMARK-: FUND DISCUSSION QUESTIONS TO THE PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT TEAM Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD? A. The Fund achieved strong total returns for the six-month reporting period: 14.55% and 14.62% for the Investor Shares and Select Shares-TM-, respectively. Both classes of shares closely tracked the Fund's benchmark, the Schwab International Index-Registered Trademark-. Although the Fund's six-month returns are impressive in absolute terms, they lagged those of the domestic large-cap equity sector. The Fund outperformed the average foreign fund for the six-month period but underperformed for the three-year period ended April 30, 1998, both by relatively small amounts. Because of the Fund's tax-efficient investment strategy, however, its three-year after-tax performance exceeded the average foreign fund by approximately 0.5% annually.(1) [Download Table] BEFORE TAX: AFTER TAX: THREE THREE SIX MONTHS YEARS* YEARS* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Investor Shares 14.55% 12.55% 11.99% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Select Shares 14.62% -- -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Average Foreign Fund 14.12% 13.14% 11.42% ------------------------------------------------------------------- *Three-year returns represent average annual total returns over the three-year period. Q. HOW DID THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SCHWAB INTERNATIONAL INDEX COMPARE WITH THAT OF THE MSCI-EAFE-REGISTERED TRADEMARK- INDEX? A. As indicated in the performance figures on page 28, the Schwab International Index lagged the MSCI-EAFE Index by approximately 0.29 percentage point over the six-month reporting period. On an inception-to-datebasis, however, the Schwab International Index has outperformed the MSCI-EAFE Index by approxi- mately two percentage points annually. As we have discussed in previous reports, these two indices are constructed differently, particularly in that they have somewhat different country weightings, so we anticipate that their performances will occasionally diverge in the future. Q. WHY CAN INDEX FUNDS BE A SOUND WAY TO IMPLEMENT AN ASSET ALLOCATION PLAN? A. One frequently cited study has shown that the manner in which an investor allocates his or her portfolio among different asset classes can determine the vast majority of the variance in the portfolio's returns.(2) Unless investors build their portfolios with investments that are designed to consistently deliver the performance of the asset classes they wish to track, their portfolios may not behave as they expect. Index funds can be an excellent choice to implement an asset allocation plan because they seek to invest only in the intended asset class and therefore should, because of their investment objectives, achieve returns that closely track those of that benchmark asset class. Index funds should not be subject to the "style drift" that investors may face with many actively managed funds. Consistent with their mission to track their benchmarks, index funds also usually maintain minimal cash holdings. (1)Source: Morningstar, Inc. Returns are load-adjusted. The Foreign Fund category contains 271 and 185 funds, respectively, with six-month and three-year track records as of 4/30/98. These funds may or may not follow a tax-efficient strategy similar to that followed by the Schwab International Index Fund. Also, although many mutual funds have multiple classes of shares, the category average includes only those funds that were classified by Morningstar as a distinct portfolio. This typically means that a fund's oldest class of shares was used. (2)Source: FINANCIAL ANALYSTS JOURNAL, Brinson, Singer, Beebower, May/June 1991. 32

In addition to seeking to deliver consistent asset class performance, index funds are typically efficient from both a cost and a tax standpoint. Most index funds minimize their trading and operating costs by keeping both portfolio turnover and operating expense ratios low. These savings are passed on to investors in the form of higher returns. Q. DO INDEX FUNDS REDUCE INVESTMENT RISK? A. It depends on the type of risk. Most investment risks can be categorized as either SYSTEMATIC (non-diversifiable) or NONSYSTEMATIC (diversifiable). Systematic or nondiversifiable risks are those that may affect all stocks or bonds, such as a bear market caused by adverse economic conditions. Index funds do not safeguard against this type of risk. Their goal is to consistently track their benchmark, regardless of how it is performing. They also generally maintain minimal cash balances, so they do not build up a defensive cash position in a negative market environment. Nonsystematic risks are those that affect a particular stock or bond, such as a decline in demand for a company's product or a negative earnings surprise. Nonsystematic risk is also referred to as "diversifiable risk," because an investor can reduce it by diversifying his or her portfolio across a sufficiently large number of companies. Since most broad-based index funds purchase many--in some cases, hundreds of--securities, they can be extremely effective at minimizing nonsystematic or company-specific risk. Q. BECAUSE THE STOCK MARKET HAS REACHED RECORD HIGHS, IS IT TIME TO RETHINK MY ALLOCATION TO STOCKS? A. Whenever the returns of asset classes have diverged significantly from one another, it can be prudent to review your portfolio's asset allocation. For example, U.S. large-cap stocks dramatically outperformed U.S. bonds over the three-year period ended April 30, 1998. This performance disparity is illustrated by the average annual returns of the Schwab 1000 Fund-Registered Trademark- and the Schwab Total Bond Market Index Fund over that period: The Schwab 1000 Fund, which invests in large-cap domestic equities, gained 30.92%, whereas the Schwab Total Bond Market Index Fund rose 8.84%.(1) This disparity may have caused an investor's portfolio asset allocation to shift, as the following example illustrates. Assume that an investor had a hypothetical asset allocation of 60% stocks and 40% bonds (investing in just these two Funds) at the beginning of the three-year period, and reinvested all Fund distributions. By the end of the period, the portfolio's asset allocation mix would have shifted to 72% stocks and 28% bonds--a significant divergence from the investor's original strategy (see chart on the following page). We feel that investors should focus on their own risk profiles, time horizons and income needs to determine the appropriate level of stocks and bonds in their portfolios. Because bond returns historically have not been well correlated with stock returns,(2) combining bonds in a portfolio with other asset classes can be effective in reducing total portfolio volatility. (1)Total return assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains distributions, if any. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal value and investment returns will fluctuate, so an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. A portion of both Funds' expenses was reduced during the period. Without these reductions, the Funds' total returns would have been lower. As of 4/30/98, the one-year and average annual five-year total returns for the Total Bond Market Index Fund were 11.34% and 7.25%, respectively. As of 3/31/98, the one-year, average annual five-year and average annual since-inception (3/5/93) total returns for the Total Bond Market Index Fund were 13.05%, 7.47% and 6.80%, respectively. (2)For the 20-year period ended 12/31/97, the correlation of large-cap stock returns and government bond returns has been 0.38. Source: Symphony Asset Management. 33

WHAT IMPACT HAS THE FINANCIAL TURMOIL IN MANY ASIAN COUNTRIES HAD ON THE FUND? A. As discussed in the MARKET OVERVIEW section, most Asian markets suffered large losses during the reporting period. Although well-diversified across many developed securities markets, the Schwab International Index-Registered Trademark- does have exposure to several Asian countries, and that had a negative impact on the Fund's returns for the period. The table at the right shows the Fund's weightings in various Asian markets as of April 30, 1998, as well as each market's return during the reporting period (according to MSCI). The strong returns of several European countries, however, helped offset the negative returns of the Asian markets represented in the Fund.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the six months ended April 30, 1998 (Unaudited) 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE FUNDS The Schwab S&P 500 Fund, Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund-Registered Trademark- and Schwab International Index Fund-Registered Trademark- are series of Schwab Capital Trust (the "Capital Trust") and the Schwab 1000 Fund-Registered Trademark- is a series of the Schwab Investments (the "Investment Trust"), each a no-load, open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on May 7, 1993 and October 26, 1990, respectively, and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Each of the funds in this report are herein referred to as a "Fund". The Schwab S&P 500 Fund, Schwab 1000 Fund-Registered Trademark-, Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund-Registered Trademark- and Schwab International Index Fund-Registered Trademark- offer two classes of shares--Investor Shares and Select Shares. Both classes represent interests in the same portfolio of investments of each Fund and are substantially the same in all respects except that the classes are subject to different transfer agency and shareholder service fees (see Note 3), investment minimums and certain other expenses. However, the Schwab S&P 500 Fund offers a third class of shares--the e.Shares-TM-. This class offers the same concept as the Investor Shares and the Select Shares, but the e. Shares are available only to clients of Schwab Institutional and The Charles Schwab Trust Company and to certain tax-advantaged retirement plans that can execute their trading and information requests through SchwabLink-TM-. In addition to the Schwab S&P 500 Fund, Small-Cap Index Fund-Registered Trademark- and International Index Fund-Registered Trademark-, the Capital Trust also offers the Schwab MarketTrack All Equity Portfolio-TM- (effective on April 16, 1998, and commenced operations on May 19, 1998), Schwab MarketTrack Growth Portfolio-TM- (formerly Schwab Asset Director-Registered Trademark---High Growth Fund), Schwab MarketTrack Balanced Portfolio-TM- (formerly Schwab Asset Director-Registered Trademark---Balanced Growth Fund), Schwab MarketTrack Conservative Portfolio-TM- (formerly Schwab Asset Director-Registered Trademark---Conservative Growth Fund), Schwab Analytics Fund-Registered Trademark-, Schwab MarketManager International Portfolio-TM- (formerly Schwab OneSource Portfolios--International), Schwab MarketManager Growth Portfolio-TM- (formerly Schwab OneSource Portfolios--Growth Allocation), Schwab MarketManager Balanced Portfolio-TM- (formerly Schwab OneSource Portfolios--Balanced Allocation), and Schwab MarketManager Small Cap Portfolio-TM- (formerly Schwab OneSource Portfolios--Small Company). The assets of each series are segregated and accounted for separately. In addition to the Schwab 1000 Fund-Registered Trademark-, the Investment Trust also offers the Schwab Short-Term Bond Market Index Fund, Schwab Total Bond Market Index Fund, Schwab California Short/Intermediate Tax-Free Bond Fund, Schwab California Long-Term Tax-Free Bond Fund, Schwab Short/Intermediate Tax-Free Bond Fund and Schwab Long-Term Tax-Free Bond Fund. The assets of each series are segregated and accounted for separately. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 86
N-30D89th “Page” of 99TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 89th
SECURITY VALUATION--Investments in securities traded on an exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price for a given day, or if a sale is not reported for that day, at the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which no market quotations are readily available are valued at the mean between the most recent bid and asked prices. Securities for which no quotations are readily available are valued at fair value as determined by the Fund's investment manager pursuant to guidelines adopted in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities with 60 days or less to maturity are stated at amortized cost, which approximates market value. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME--Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined on an identified cost basis. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date; interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. FUTURES CONTRACTS--The Schwab S&P 500 Fund and the Schwab 1000 Fund-Registered Trademark- may invest in financial futures contracts. The Fund is required to deposit with the broker an amount of cash or cash equivalents equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This is known as the "initial margin." Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuation of the value of the contract. The Funds will invest in these instruments to hedge against the effects of changes in value of portfolio securities due to anticipated changes in interest rates and/or market conditions, for duration management, or risk inherent in the management of the Funds and not for trading purposes. The use of futures contracts involves certain risks, which include (1) imperfect correlation between the price movement of the contracts and the underlying securities, (2) inability to close out positions due to different trading hours, or the temporary absence of a liquid market, for either the contract or underlying securities, or (3) an inaccurate prediction by the Adviser of the future direction of interest rates. Any of these risks may involve amounts exceeding the amount recognized in the Fund's Statement of Operations at any given time. As of April 30, 1998, the Schwab S&P 500 Fund and the Schwab 1000 Fund-Registered Trademark- had the following open futures contracts: [Enlarge/Download Table] Number of Contract Unrealized Contracts Value Expiration Appreciation ------------- ----------- ----------- ----------- S&P 500 Index Futures 127 $34,209,625 June '98 $ 975,000 Schwab 1000 Index-Registered Trademark- Futures 58 $16,228,400 June '98 $ 450,000 The aggregate value of cash or eligible securities pledged to cover margin requirements for open futures positions at April 30, 1998 was $2,584,000 and $1,033,000, respectively. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--Repurchase agreements are fully collateralized by U.S. Treasury or government agency securities. All collateral is held by the Funds custodian and is monitored daily to ensure that its market value at least equals the repurchase price under the agreement. 87

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION--The accounting records of the Schwab International Index Fund-Registered Trademark- are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and all other asset and liabilities of the Fund denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on April 30, 1998. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the dates of the respective transactions. The Schwab International Index Fund-Registered Trademark- separates within its statement of operations the portion of realized and unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that arising from changes in securities' market values. FOWARD CURRENCY CONTRACTS--A forward currency contract ("Forward") is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The value of the Forward fluctuates with changes in currency exchange rates. The Forward is marked-to market daily and the change in value is recorded by the Schwab International Index Fund-Registered Trademark- as an unrealized gain or loss. When the Forward is closed, the Schwab International Index Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time the contract was opened and the value at the time the contract was closed. The Schwab International Index Fund engages in Forwards in connection with the purchase and sale of portfolio securities to minimize the uncertainty of changes in future exchange rates. The Schwab International Index Fund could be exposed to risk if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of the contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. DEFERRED ORGANIZATION COSTS--Costs incurred in connection with the organization of the Funds are amortized on a straight-line basis over a five-year period from the Funds commencement of operations. EXPENSES--Expenses arising in connection with the Funds are charged directly to the Funds. Expenses common to all series of the Trusts are generally allocated to each series in proportion to their relative net assets. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--It is each Fund's policy to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all net investment income and realized net capital gains, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Funds are considered a separate entity for tax purposes. 88
