| 1 | ETF performance must be shown based on both a market price and NAV basis. The fund’s per share NAV is the value of one share of the fund. NAV is calculated by taking the fund’s total assets (including the fair value of securities owned), subtracting liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV Return is based on the NAV of the fund, and the Market Price Return is based on the market price per share of the fund. The price used to calculate market return (Market Price) is determined using the Official Closing Price on the primary stock exchange (generally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) and may not represent the returns you would receive if shares were traded at other times. Market Price and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively. |

President of Schwab Asset
Management and the fund
covered in this report.
Dear Shareholder,
Before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in late February 2022, financial markets were largely preoccupied with the prospects of continued economic growth in the face of multiple challenges related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Concerns included rising energy and commodity inflation, global supply-chain disruptions, and the increasing likelihood that the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) would raise short-term interest rates. Despite these obstacles, the S&P 500® Index, a bellwether for the overall U.S. stock market, gained more than 20% between March and December 2021, bolstered by strong corporate earnings, robust consumer spending, and improving labor statistics. However, investor sentiment turned dramatically risk averse as tensions between Russia and Ukraine began escalating in 2022. Stock markets dipped sharply in January and February, with the S&P 500® Index losing roughly half of its previous gains. The real estate sector generated positive returns over the reporting period, with U.S. real estate investment trusts (REITs) outperforming the broader U.S. equity market led by strong returns from industrial and residential REITs. For the 12-month reporting period ended February 28, 2022, the S&P 500® Index returned 16.4%, while the Dow Jones Equity All REIT Capped Index, representing U.S. REITs, returned 21.6%.
While the tumultuous events beginning at the end of February have clearly unsettled markets and shaken investor confidence, at Schwab Asset Management we believe that when it comes to their investment plan, investors would do well to avoid getting caught up in dramatic events as they unfold. Although markets may react abruptly in the short term, we believe that wealth creation is most reliably built on a foundation of diversification and a long-term investment plan. Since real estate securities tend to be influenced by a different combination of factors than other stocks and bonds, the Schwab U.S. REIT ETF may add another layer of diversification when combined with more traditional asset classes in a portfolio. The fund offers convenient, low-cost access to U.S. REITs.
Thank you for investing with Schwab Asset Management. For more information about the Schwab U.S. REIT ETF, please continue reading this report. In addition, you can find further details about this fund by visiting our website at www.schwabassetmanagement.com. We are also happy to hear from you at 1-877-824-5615.
Sincerely,
“ The real estate sector generated positive returns over the reporting period, with U.S. real estate investment trusts (REITs) outperforming the broader U.S. equity market led by strong returns from industrial and residential REITs.”
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Diversification and asset allocation strategies do not ensure a profit and cannot protect against losses in a declining market.

Schwab U.S. REIT ETF | Annual Report
The Investment Environment
For the 12-month reporting period ended February 28, 2022, U.S. equity markets generated positive returns. Despite persisting COVID-19 pandemic-driven stresses on the global economy and the emergence and rapid spread of the Delta variant during the summer and the Omicron variant late in 2021, market tailwinds included strong corporate earnings, ongoing, albeit fading, fiscal stimulus measures, and optimism related to increased COVID-19 vaccination rates. As a result, for most of the reporting period, through early January 2022, U.S. equity markets posted steady gains, with several key market indices repeatedly exceeding previous record highs. However, beginning in early 2022, equity markets declined in reaction to growing headwinds that included accelerating inflation, an increasing likelihood of rising interest rates, and, in the final week of the reporting period, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which drove oil prices above $100 per barrel for the first time since 2014 and roiled stock markets around the world. For the reporting period, the Dow Jones Equity All REIT Capped Index, which represents U.S. real estate investment trusts (REITs), returned 21.63% and the FTSE EPRA Nareit Global Index (Net)*, which represents general trends in eligible real estate securities worldwide, returned 9.78%. During the same period, the S&P 500® Index, a bellwether for the overall U.S. stock market, returned 16.39%.
After falling under severe pressure early in the COVID-19 pandemic as demand fell and funding waned, U.S. REITs continued their strong performance over much of the reporting period. During the reporting period, the Dow Jones Equity All REIT Capped Index exceeded the return of the broader U.S. equity market, hitting a record high in early January 2022 before falling back in the first two months of 2022 on the growing likelihood of rising interest rates and inflation concerns. Among REIT sub-industries in the Dow Jones Equity All REIT Capped Index, all but one posted positive returns and all but two posted double-digit returns for the reporting period. The strongest performers were the industrial and residential REITs sub-industries, both up on strong demand and limited supply. The only sub-industry to post a negative return for the reporting period was the hotels & resort REITs sub-industry, which continued to suffer amid ongoing COVID-19 pandemic-driven constraints in leisure and business travel.

Schwab U.S. REIT ETF | Annual Report
The Investment Environment (continued)
The U.S. economy continued its recovery from the dramatic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, although U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) growth fluctuated over the reporting period. GDP rose at an annualized rate of 6.3% and 6.7% in the first and second quarters of 2021, respectively, before falling back to 2.3% for the third quarter of 2021 amid fading government stimuli, ongoing supply chain disruptions, and persisting inflation. GDP rose at an annualized rate of 6.9% in the fourth quarter of 2021 on increasing inventories, exports, and personal consumption expenditures. The unemployment rate, which has fallen steadily after skyrocketing in April 2020, ended the reporting period at its lowest level since February 2020. Annual inflation, which had remained well below the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (Fed) traditional 2% target until it jumped in March 2021, continued to rise during the spring of 2021, leveled off during the summer of 2021, and rose again through the remainder of the reporting period. At the end of the reporting period, inflation was at its highest rate in 40 years, due to imbalances in the labor market, supply chain bottlenecks, and soaring energy costs.
Monetary policies around the world varied. In the United States, early in the reporting period, the Fed reiterated several times its intention to continue its support of the economy for as long as needed to achieve a full recovery and the Fed maintained the federal funds rate in a range of 0.00% to 0.25% throughout the reporting period. However, as inflation continued to rise and indicators of economic activity and employment continued to strengthen, the Fed began scaling back its bond-buying program in November 2021, citing significant progress on its twin goals of maximum employment and price stability. The Fed subsequently accelerated its wind-down in December 2021, with expectations to end it altogether by March 2022. Fed officials also issued successively strong signals that interest rates could begin to rise sooner in 2022 than previously anticipated.

Schwab U.S. REIT ETF | Annual Report
Schwab U.S. REIT ETF as of February 28, 2022
The Schwab U.S. REIT ETF’s (the fund) goal is to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the total return of an index composed of U.S. real estate investment trusts (REITs) classified as equities. To pursue its goal, the fund generally invests in securities that are included in the Dow Jones Equity All REIT Capped Index (the index). The index is a float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is subject to capping constraints at each quarterly rebalancing. The index generally includes all publicly traded equity REITs with a minimum float-adjusted market capitalization of $200 million and a three-month median daily value traded of at least $5 million. For more information concerning the fund’s investment objective, strategies, and risks, please see the fund’s prospectus.
Market Highlights. For the 12-month reporting period ended February 28, 2022, U.S. equity markets generated positive returns. Despite persisting COVID-19 pandemic-driven stresses on the global economy and the emergence and rapid spread of the Delta variant during the summer and the Omicron variant late in 2021, market tailwinds included strong corporate earnings, ongoing, albeit fading, fiscal stimulus measures, and optimism related to increased COVID-19 vaccination rates. As a result, for most of the reporting period, through early January 2022, U.S. equity markets posted steady gains, with several key market indices repeatedly exceeding previous record highs. However, beginning in early 2022, equity markets declined in reaction to growing headwinds that included accelerating inflation, an increasing likelihood of rising interest rates, and, in the final week of the reporting period, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which drove oil prices above $100 per barrel for the first time since 2014 and roiled stock markets around the world. After falling under severe pressure early in the COVID-19 pandemic as demand fell and funding waned, U.S. REITs continued their strong performance over much of the reporting period. During the reporting period, U.S. REITs exceeded the return of the broader U.S. equity market, hitting a record high in early January 2022 before falling back in the first two months of 2022 on the growing likelihood of rising interest rates and inflation concerns.
Performance. For the 12-month reporting period ended February 28, 2022, the fund’s market price return was 21.53% and its NAV return was 21.56% (for an explanation of the market price and NAV returns, please refer to footnote 3 on the following page.) The index returned 21.63% during the same period. Differences between the return of the fund and the return of the index may be attributable to, among other things, the trading and management costs incurred by the fund and not the index.
Contributors and Detractors. The hotel & resort REITs sub-industry was the only sub-industry that detracted from the total return of the fund over the reporting period. Hotel & resort REITs represented an average weight of approximately 3% of the fund’s investments and returned approximately -2% for the reporting period. One example from this sub-industry is Park Hotels & Resorts, Inc. which owns and operates hotels. The fund’s holdings of Park Hotels & Resorts, Inc. represented an average weight of less than 1% of the fund’s investments and returned approximately -13% for the reporting period.
While there were no additional sectors that detracted from the total return of the fund, the security & alarm services sub-industry was the smallest contributor to the total return of the fund, representing an average weight of less than 1% of the fund’s investments and returning approximately 28% for the reporting period.
The specialized REITs sub-industry contributed the most to the total return of the fund over the reporting period. Specialized REITs represented an average weight of approximately 39% of the fund’s investments and returned approximately 19% for the reporting period. One example from this sub-industry is Public Storage which acquires, develops, owns, and operates self-storage facilities in the United States. The fund’s holdings of Public Storage represented an average weight of approximately 3% of the fund’s investments and returned approximately 56% for the reporting period.
The residential REITs sub-industry also contributed to the total return of the fund, representing an average weight of approximately 15% of the fund’s investments and returning approximately 37% for the reporting period.

Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
Examples for a $1,000 Investment
As a fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of fund shares; and, (2) ongoing costs, including management fees.
The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing cost (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare this cost with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds. These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested for six months beginning September 1, 2021 and held through February 28, 2022.
Actual Return line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value ÷ $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for the fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical Return line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed return of 5% per year before expenses. Because the return used is not an actual return, it may not be used to estimate the actual ending account value or expenses you paid for the period.
You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs, including any brokerage commissions you may pay when purchasing or selling shares of a fund. Therefore, the hypothetical return lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

The fund issues and redeems shares at its net asset value per share (NAV) only in large blocks of shares (Creation Units). These transactions are usually in exchange for a basket of securities and/or an amount of cash. As a practical matter, only institutional investors who have entered into an authorized participant agreement purchase or redeem Creation Units. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of the fund are not redeemable securities.
Individual shares of the fund trade on national securities exchanges and elsewhere during the trading day and can only be bought and sold at market prices throughout the trading day through a broker-dealer. Because fund shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). A chart showing the frequency at which the fund’s daily closing market price was at a discount or premium to the fund’s NAV can be found at www.schwabassetmanagement.com.
The fund maintains its own account for purposes of holding assets and accounting, and is considered a separate entity for tax purposes. Within its account, the fund may also keep certain assets in segregated accounts, as required by securities law.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies the fund uses in its preparation of financial statements. The fund follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies. The accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
The fund may invest in certain mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which are referred to as "underlying funds". For more information about the underlying funds’ operations and policies, please refer to those funds’ semiannual and annual reports, which are filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
(a) Security Valuation
Under procedures approved by the fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board), the investment adviser has formed a Pricing Committee to administer the pricing and valuation of portfolio securities and other assets and to ensure that prices used for internal purposes or provided by third parties reasonably reflect fair value. Among other things, these procedures allow the fund to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers and other market sources to determine fair value.

Financial Notes (continued)
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
The fund values the securities in its portfolio every business day. The fund uses the following policies to value various types of securities:
• Securities traded on an exchange or over-the-counter: Traded securities are valued at the closing value for the day, or, on days when no closing value has been reported, at the mean of the most recent bid and ask quotes. Securities that are primarily traded on foreign exchanges are valued at the official closing price or the last sales price on the exchange where the securities are principally traded with these values then translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate, unless these securities are fair valued as discussed below.
• Futures contracts: Futures contracts are valued at their settlement prices as of the close of their exchanges.
• Mutual funds: Mutual funds are valued at their respective NAVs.
• Securities for which no quoted value is available: The Board has adopted procedures to fair value the fund’s securities when market prices are not “readily available” or are unreliable. For example, a fund may fair value a security when it is de-listed or its trading is halted or suspended; when a security’s primary pricing source is unable or unwilling to provide a price; or when a security’s primary trading market is closed during regular market hours. The fund makes fair value determinations in good faith in accordance with the fund’s valuation procedures. The Pricing Committee considers a number of factors, including unobservable market inputs when arriving at fair value. The Pricing Committee may employ techniques such as the review of related or comparable assets or liabilities, related market activities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, transactional back-testing, disposition analysis and other relevant information. The Pricing Committee regularly reviews these inputs and assumptions to calibrate the valuations. Due to the subjective and variable nature of fair value pricing, there can be no assurance that the fund could obtain the fair value assigned to the security upon the sale of such security. The Board convenes on a regular basis to review fair value determinations made by the fund pursuant to the valuation procedures.
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the fund discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the significant inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). If inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. If the fund determines that either the volume and/or level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased (from normal conditions for that asset or liability) or price quotations or observable inputs are not associated with orderly transactions, increased analysis and management judgment will be required to estimate fair value.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
• Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities — Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equities, mutual funds and futures contracts. Investments in mutual funds are valued daily at their NAVs, which are classified as Level 1 prices, without consideration to the classification level of the underlying securities held by an underlying fund.
• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) — Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but whose values are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified as Level 2 prices. These generally include U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, certain mortgage products, less liquid listed equities, and state, municipal and provincial obligations.
• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) — Investments whose values are classified as Level 3 prices have significant unobservable inputs, as they may trade infrequently or not at all. When observable prices are not available for these securities, the fund uses one or more valuation techniques for which sufficient and reliable data is available. The inputs used by the fund in estimating the value of Level 3 prices may include the original transaction price, quoted prices for similar securities or assets in active markets, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows. Level 3 prices may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the fund in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the fund due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the fund’s results of operations.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The levels associated with valuing the fund’s investments as of February 28, 2022 are disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings.
(b) Accounting Policies for certain Portfolio Investments (if held):
Futures Contracts: Futures contracts are instruments that represent an agreement between two parties that obligates one party to buy, and the other party to sell, specific instruments at an agreed upon price on a stipulated future date. The fund must give the broker a deposit of cash and/or securities (initial margin) whenever it enters into a futures contract. The amount of the deposit may vary from one contract to another. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contract and are accounted for as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is closed, at which time the gains or losses are realized. Futures contracts are traded publicly on exchanges, and their value may change daily.
Securities Lending: Under the trust’s Securities Lending Program, the fund (lender) may make short-term loans of its securities to another party (borrower) to generate additional revenue for the fund. The borrower pledges collateral in the form of cash, securities issued or fully guaranteed by the U.S. government or foreign governments, or letters of credit issued by a bank. Collateral at the individual loan level is required to be maintained on a daily marked-to-market basis in an amount at least equal to the current value of the securities loaned. The lending agent provides the fund with indemnification against borrower default (the borrower fails to return the security on loan) reducing the risk of loss as a result of default. The cash collateral of securities loaned is currently invested in money market portfolios operating pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. The fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of cash collateral. The terms of the securities lending agreement allow the fund or the lending agent to terminate any loan at any given time and the securities must be returned within the earlier of the standard trade settlement period or the specified time period under the relevant securities lending agreements. Securities lending income, as disclosed in the fund’s Statement of Operations, if applicable, represents the income earned from the investment of the cash collateral plus any fees paid by borrowers, less the fees paid to the lending agent and broker rebates which are subject to adjustments pursuant to the securities lending agreement. On loans not collateralized by cash, a fee is received from the borrower, and is allocated between the fund and the lending agent. The aggregate fair value of securities loaned will not at any time exceed one-third of the total assets of the fund, including collateral received from the loan. Securities lending fees paid to the unaffiliated lending agents start at 10% of gross lending revenue, with subsequent breakpoints to a low of 5%. In this context, the gross lending revenue equals the income received from the investment of cash collateral and fees paid by borrowers less any rebates paid to the borrowers. Any expenses charged by the cash collateral fund are in addition to these fees. All remaining revenue is retained by the fund, as applicable. No portion of lending revenue is paid to or retained by the investment adviser or any of its affiliates.
As of February 28, 2022, the fund had no securities on loan.
(c) Security Transactions:
Security transactions are recorded as of the date the order to buy or sell the security is executed. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are based on the identified costs of the securities involved.
When the fund closes out a futures contract position, it calculates the difference between the value of the position at the beginning and at the end of the contract, and records a realized gain or loss accordingly.
The fund invests in real estate investment trusts (REITs) which report information on the source of their distributions annually. The fund’s policy is to record all REIT distributions initially as dividend income on the ex-dividend date and then re-designate them as return of capital and/or capital gain distributions at the end of the reporting period based on information provided annually by each REIT, and management estimates such re-designations when actual information has not yet been reported.
(d) Investment Income:
Interest income is recorded as it accrues. Dividends and distributions from portfolio securities and underlying funds are recorded on the date they are effective (the ex-dividend date), although the fund records certain foreign security dividends on the date the ex-dividend is confirmed. Any distributions from underlying funds are recorded in accordance with the character of the distributions as designated by the underlying funds.

Financial Notes (continued)
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
(e) Expenses:
Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement (Advisory Agreement) between the investment adviser and the trust, the investment adviser will pay the operating expenses of the fund, excluding taxes, any brokerage expenses, and extraordinary or non-routine expenses. Taxes, any brokerage expenses and extraordinary or non-routine expenses that are specific to the fund are charged directly to the fund.
(f) Distributions to Shareholders:
The fund makes distributions from net investment income, if any, quarterly and from net realized capital gains, if any, once a year. To receive a distribution, you must be a registered shareholder on the record date. Distributions are paid to shareholders on the payable date.
(g) Accounting Estimates:
The accounting policies described in this report conform to GAAP. Notwithstanding this, shareholders should understand that in order to follow these principles, fund management has to make estimates and assumptions that affect the information reported in the financial statements. It’s possible that once the results are known, they may turn out to be different from these estimates and these differences may be material.
(h) Federal Income Taxes:
The fund intends to meet federal income and excise tax requirements for regulated investment companies under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Accordingly, the fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders each year. As long as the fund meets the tax requirements, it is not required to pay federal income tax.
(i) Indemnification:
Under the fund’s organizational documents, the officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business the fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide general indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the fund. However, based on experience, the fund expects the risk of loss attributable to these arrangements to be remote.
3. Risk Factors:
Investing in the fund may involve certain risks, as discussed in the fund’s prospectus, including, but not limited to, those described below. Any of these risks could cause an investor to lose money.
Market Risk. Financial markets rise and fall in response to a variety of factors, sometimes rapidly and unpredictable. Markets may be impacted by economic, political, regulatory and other conditions, including economic sanctions and other government actions. In addition, the occurrence of global events, such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters and epidemics, may also negatively affect the financial markets. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of an investment in the fund will fluctuate, which means that an investor could lose money over short or long periods.
Investment Style Risk. The fund is an index fund. Therefore, the fund follows the securities included in the index during upturns as well as downturns. Because of its indexing strategy, the fund does not take steps to reduce market exposure or to lessen the effects of a declining market. In addition, because of the fund’s expenses, the fund’s performance may be below that of the index. Errors relating to the index may occur from time to time and may not be identified by the index provider for a period of time. In addition, market disruptions could cause delays in the index’s rebalancing schedule. Such errors and/or market disruptions may result in losses for the fund.
Equity Risk. The prices of equity securities rise and fall daily. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, industries or the securities market as a whole. In addition, equity markets tend to move in cycles, which may cause stock prices to fall over short or extended periods of time.
Market Capitalization Risk. Securities issued by companies of different market capitalizations tend to go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. During a period when securities of a particular market capitalization fall behind other types of investments, the fund’s performance could be impacted.
Schwab U.S. REIT ETF | Annual Report
Financial Notes (continued)
3. Risk Factors (continued):
Large-Cap Company Risk. Large-cap companies are generally more mature and the securities issued by these companies may not be able to reach the same levels of growth as the securities issued by small- or mid-cap companies.
Mid-Cap Company Risk. Mid-cap companies may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies and the value of securities issued by these companies may move sharply.
Small-Cap Company Risk. Securities issued by small-cap companies may be riskier than those issued by larger companies, and their prices may move sharply, especially during market upturns and downturns.
Real Estate Investment Risk. Due to the composition of the index, the fund concentrates its investments in real estate companies and companies related to the real estate industry. As such, the fund is subject to risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate securities and an investment in the fund will be closely linked to the performance of the real estate markets. These risks include, among others: declines in the value of real estate; risks related to general and local economic conditions; possible lack of availability of mortgage funds or other limits to accessing the credit or capital markets; defaults by borrowers or tenants, particularly during an economic downturn; and changes in interest rates.
REITs Risk. In addition to the risks associated with investing in securities of real estate companies and real estate related companies, REITs are subject to certain additional risks. Equity REITs may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying properties owned by the trusts. Further, REITs are dependent upon specialized management skills and cash flows, and may have their investments in relatively few properties, or in a small geographic area or a single property type. Failure of a company to qualify as a REIT under federal tax law may have adverse consequences to the fund. In addition, REITs have their own expenses, and the fund will bear a proportionate share of those expenses.
Tracking Error Risk. As an index fund, the fund seeks to track the performance of its index, although it may not be successful in doing so. The divergence between the performance of the fund and the index, positive or negative, is called “tracking error.” Tracking error can be caused by many factors and it may be significant.
Derivatives Risk. The principal types of derivatives used by the fund are futures contracts. A future is an agreement to buy or sell a financial instrument at a specific price on a specific day. The fund’s use of derivatives that are subject to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) could cause the fund to become a commodity pool, which would require the fund to comply with certain CFTC rules.
The fund’s use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Certain of these risks, such as liquidity risk, leverage risk and market risk, are discussed elsewhere in this section. The fund’s use of derivatives is also subject to counterparty risk, lack of availability risk, valuation risk, correlation risk and tax risk. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to a derivatives transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations either because the financial condition of the counterparty declines, or because the counterparty is otherwise unable or unwilling to perform under the contract. Lack of availability risk is the risk that suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances for risk management or other purposes. Valuation risk is the risk that a particular derivative may be valued incorrectly. Correlation risk is the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. Tax risk is the risk that the use of derivatives may cause the fund to realize higher amounts of short-term capital gains. The fund’s use of derivatives could reduce the fund’s performance, increase the fund’s volatility and could cause the fund to lose more than the initial amount invested.
Concentration Risk. To the extent that the fund’s or the index’s portfolio is concentrated in the securities of issuers in a particular market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class (including the real estate industry, as described above), the fund may be adversely affected by the performance of those securities, may be subject to increased price volatility and may be more vulnerable to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory occurrences affecting that market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class.
Liquidity Risk. The fund may be unable to sell certain securities, such as illiquid securities, readily at a favorable time or price, or the fund may have to sell them at a loss.
Leverage Risk. Certain fund transactions, such as derivatives transactions, may give rise to a form of leverage and may expose the fund to greater risk. Leverage tends to magnify the effect of any decrease or increase in the value of the fund’s portfolio securities which means even a small amount of leverage can have a disproportionately large impact on the fund. The use of leverage may cause the fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it would not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations.
Securities Lending Risk. Securities lending involves the risk of loss of rights in, or delay in recovery of, the loaned securities if the borrower fails to return the security loaned or becomes insolvent.
Schwab U.S. REIT ETF | Annual Report
Financial Notes (continued)
3. Risk Factors (continued):
Market Trading Risk. Although fund shares are listed on national securities exchanges, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for fund shares will develop or be maintained. If an active market is not maintained, investors may find it difficult to buy or sell fund shares.
Shares of the Fund May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. Fund shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of the shares of the fund will approximate the fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price and the NAV vary significantly. An investor may pay more than NAV when buying shares of the fund in the secondary market, and an investor may receive less than NAV when selling those shares in the secondary market. The market price of fund shares may deviate, sometimes significantly, from NAV during periods of market volatility or market disruption.
Please refer to the fund’s prospectus for a more complete description of the principal risks of investing in the fund.

4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions (continued):
Interfund Transactions
The fund may engage in direct transactions with certain other funds in the Fund Complex in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act. When one fund is seeking to sell a security that another is seeking to buy, an interfund transaction can allow both funds to benefit by reducing transaction costs. This practice is limited to funds that share the same investment adviser, trustees and/or officers. For the period ended February 28, 2022, the fund’s purchases and sales of securities with other funds in the Fund Complex was $14,581,333 and $50,150,922, respectively, and includes realized losses of $3,599,960.
Interfund Borrowing and Lending
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the fund may enter into interfund borrowing and lending transactions with other funds in the Fund Complex. All loans are for temporary or emergency purposes and the interest rate to be charged will be the average of the overnight repurchase agreement rate and the short-term bank loan rate. All loans are subject to numerous conditions designed to ensure fair and equitable treatment of all participating funds. The interfund lending facility is subject to the oversight and periodic review of the Board. The fund had no interfund borrowing or lending activity during the period.
5. Other Service Providers:
SEI Investments Distribution Co. is the principal underwriter and distributor of shares of the fund.
State Street Bank and Trust Company (State Street) serves as the fund’s transfer agent. As part of these services, the transfer agent maintains records pertaining to the sale, redemption and transfer of the fund’s shares. The transfer agent is also responsible for the order-taking function for the fund’s shares.
State Street also serves as custodian and accountant for the fund. The custodian is responsible for the daily safekeeping of securities and cash held by the fund. The fund’s accountant maintains all books and records related to the fund’s transactions.
6. Board of Trustees:
The Board may include people who are officers and/or directors of the investment adviser or its affiliates. Federal securities law limits the percentage of such “interested persons” who may serve on a trust’s board, and the trust was in compliance with these limitations throughout the report period. The trust does not pay any interested or non-interested trustees (independent trustees). The independent trustees are paid by the investment adviser. For information regarding the trustees, please refer to the Trustees and Officers table at the end of this report.
7. Borrowing from Banks:
During the period, the fund was a participant with other funds in the Fund Complex in a joint, syndicated, committed $850 million line of credit (the Syndicated Credit Facility), which matured on September 30, 2021. On September 30, 2021, the Syndicated Credit Facility was amended to run for a new 364 day period with the line of credit amount remaining unchanged, maturing on September 29, 2022. Under the terms of the Syndicated Credit Facility, in addition to the investment adviser paying the interest charged on any borrowings by the fund, the investment adviser paid a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum on the fund’s proportionate share of the unused portion of the Syndicated Credit Facility.
During the period, the fund was a participant with other funds in the Fund Complex in a joint, unsecured, uncommitted $400 million line of credit (the Uncommitted Credit Facility), with State Street, which matured on September 30, 2021. On September 30, 2021, the Uncommitted Credit Facility was amended to run for a new 364 day period with the line of credit amount remaining unchanged, maturing on September 29, 2022. Under the terms of the Uncommitted Credit Facility, the investment adviser pays interest on the amount it borrows. There were no borrowings from either line of credit during the period.
The fund also has access to custodian overdraft facilities. The fund may have utilized the overdraft facility and incurred an interest expense, which is paid by the investment adviser. The interest expense is determined based on a negotiated rate above the current Federal Funds Rate.
Schwab U.S. REIT ETF | Annual Report
Financial Notes (continued)
The fund entered into equity index futures contracts during the report period. The fund invested in futures contracts to equitize available cash. The value and variation margin for futures contracts held at February 28, 2022 are presented in the Portfolio Holdings and Statement of Assets and Liabilities, respectively. The net realized gains (losses) and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts are presented in the Statement of Operations. Refer to financial note 2(b) for the fund’s accounting policies with respect to futures contracts and financial note 3 for disclosures concerning the risks of investing in futures contracts. During the period ended February 28, 2022, the month-end average notional amounts of futures contracts held by the fund was $12,688,288 and the month-end average number of contracts held was 314.
9. Purchases and Sales of Investment Securities:
For the period ended February 28, 2022, purchases and sales of securities (excluding in-kind transactions and short-term obligations) were as follows:
PURCHASES
OF SECURITIES | SALES
OF SECURITIES |
| $441,372,720 | $297,738,782 |
10. In-Kind Transactions:
The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of the fund often consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of equity securities, which constitutes an optimized representation of the securities involved in a relevant fund’s underlying index, and an amount of cash. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units are subject to a standard creation transaction fee and a standard redemption transaction fee paid to the custodian to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units. Purchasers and redeemers of Creation Units for cash are subject to an additional variable charge paid to the fund that will offset the transaction costs to the fund of buying or selling portfolio securities. In addition, purchasers and redeemers of shares in Creation Units are responsible for payment of the costs of transferring securities to or out of the fund. From time to time, the investment adviser may cover the cost of any transaction fees when believed to be in the best interests of the fund.
The in-kind transactions for the period ended February 28, 2022, were as follows:
IN-KIND PURCHASES
OF SECURITIES | IN-KIND SALES
OF SECURITIES |
| $1,066,319,218 | $270,078,882 |
For the period ended February 28, 2022, the fund realized net capital gains or losses resulting from in-kind redemptions of Creation Units. Because such gains or losses are not taxable to the fund and are not distributed to existing fund shareholders, the gains or losses are reclassified from accumulated net realized gains or losses to capital received from investors at the end of the fund’s tax year. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. The net realized in-kind gains or losses for the period ended February 28, 2022 are disclosed in the fund’s Statement of Operations.
11. Federal Income Taxes:
As of February 28, 2022, the tax basis cost of the fund’s investments and gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation were as follows:
| TAX COST | GROSS UNREALIZED
APPRECIATION | GROSS UNREALIZED
DEPRECIATION | NET UNREALIZED
APPRECIATION
(DEPRECIATION) |
| $5,684,924,648 | $1,181,807,831 | ($231,401,080) | $950,406,751 |
As of February 28, 2022, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
UNDISTRIBUTED
ORDINARY
INCOME | NET UNREALIZED
APPRECIATION
(DEPRECIATION)
ON INVESTMENTS | CAPITAL LOSS
CARRYFORWARDS | TOTAL |
| $5,460,881 | $950,406,751 | ($877,642,876) | $78,224,756 |
Schwab U.S. REIT ETF | Annual Report
Financial Notes (continued)
11. Federal Income Taxes (continued):
The primary difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation or unrealized depreciation of investments is the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and realization for tax purposes of unrealized appreciation or depreciation on futures contracts. The tax cost of the fund’s investments, disclosed above, have been adjusted from its book amounts to reflect these unrealized appreciation or depreciation differences, as applicable.
Capital loss carryforwards have no expiration and may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. As of February 28, 2022, the fund had capital loss carryforwards of $877,642,876.
For the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022, the fund had capital loss carryforwards utilized of $47,993,746.
The tax basis components of distributions paid during the current and prior fiscal years were as follows:
| | CURRENT FISCAL YEAR END DISTRIBUTIONS | PRIOR FISCAL YEAR END DISTRIBUTIONS |
| | ORDINARY
INCOME | ORDINARY
INCOME |
| | $105,641,785 | $134,110,850 |
Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax basis, which may differ from net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements. The fund may also designate a portion of the amount paid to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences may result in reclassifications between components of net assets as required. The adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
As of February 28, 2022, management has reviewed the tax positions for open periods (for federal purposes, three years from the date of filing and for state purposes, four years from the date of filing) as applicable to the fund, and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements. The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period ended February 28, 2022, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
12. Subsequent Events:
Effective February 24, 2022, the Board authorized a 2-for-1 share split for the Schwab U.S. REIT ETF which applied to shareholders of record as of the close of markets on March 8, 2022, and paid after the close of the markets on March 10, 2022. Shares began trading at their post-split price on March 11, 2022. The share split increased the number of shares outstanding and decreased the NAV per share. The share split did not change the total value of a shareholder’s investment.
Other than the planned changes for the 2-for-1 share split as discussed above, management has determined there are no subsequent events or transactions through the date the financial statements were issued that would have materially impacted the financial statements as presented.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Schwab Strategic Trust and Shareholders of Schwab U.S. REIT ETF:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio holdings, of Schwab U.S. REIT ETF (the “Fund”), one of the funds constituting Schwab Strategic Trust, as of February 28, 2022, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of February 28, 2022, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial highlights for each of the three years in the period ended February 29, 2020 were audited by other auditors, whose report, dated April 16, 2020, expressed an unqualified opinion on such financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of February 28, 2022 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Liquidity Risk Management Program (Unaudited)
The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “program”) as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has designated the Fund’s investment adviser, Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc., dba Schwab Asset Management, as the administrator of the program. Personnel of the investment adviser or its affiliates conduct the day-to-day operation of the program.
Under the program, the investment adviser manages a Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet shareholder redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining shareholders’ interests in the Fund. The program is reasonably designed to assess and manage a Fund’s liquidity risk, taking into consideration the Fund’s investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; its historical redemption history and shareholder concentrations; and its cash holdings and access to other funding sources, including the custodian overdraft facility and lines of credit. The investment adviser’s process of determining the degree of liquidity of each Fund’s investments is supported by third-party liquidity assessment vendors.
The Fund’s Board reviewed a report at its meeting held on September 20, 2021 prepared by the investment adviser regarding the operation and effectiveness of the program for the period June 1, 2020, through May 31, 2021, which included individual Fund liquidity metrics. No significant liquidity events impacting the Fund were noted in the report. In addition, the investment adviser provided its assessment that the program had been operating effectively in managing the Fund’s liquidity risk.

Schwab U.S. REIT ETF | Annual Report
ask See “offer.”
asset allocation The practice of dividing a portfolio among different asset classes, with each asset class assigned a particular percentage to help offset risks and rewards, based on your goals, time horizon and risk tolerance.
asset class A group of securities with similar structure and basic characteristics. Stocks, bonds and cash are the three main examples of asset classes.
authorized participant (AP) A large institutional investor that places orders for creation units with the funds’ distributor.
beta A historical measure of an investment’s volatility relative to a market index (usually the S&P 500®). The index is defined as having a beta of 1.00. Investments with a beta higher than 1.00 have been more volatile than the index; those with a beta of less than 1.00 have been less volatile.
bid The highest price at which someone is willing to buy a security.
Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index An index that is a broad-based benchmark measuring the performance of the U.S. investment grade, taxable bond market, including U.S. Treasuries, government-related and corporate bonds, mortgage pass-through securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and asset-backed securities that are publicly available for sale in the United States. To be eligible for inclusion in the index, securities must be fixed rate, non-convertible, U.S. dollar-denominated with at least $300 million or more of outstanding face value and have one or more years remaining to maturity. The index excludes certain types of securities, including tax-exempt state and local government series bonds, structured notes embedded with swaps or other special features, private placements, floating rate securities, inflation-linked bonds and Eurobonds. The index is market capitalization weighted and the securities in the index are updated on the last business day of each month.
cap, capitalization See “market cap.”
capital gain, capital loss The difference between the amount paid for an investment and its value at a later time. If the investment has been sold, the capital gain or loss is considered a realized gain or loss. If the investment is still held, the gain or loss is still “on paper” and is considered unrealized.
commencement of operations The date that the first NAV was calculated.
creation unit (C.U.) A basket of securities that is delivered by an authorized participant (AP) to the fund equal to the current holdings of the ETF, plus a designated cash component. In return, the APs receive a large block of ETF shares (typically 50,000 shares), which investors can then buy and sell in the secondary market.
Dow Jones Equity All REIT Capped Index A float-adjusted market cap weighted index that is designed to measure all equity real estate investment trusts (REITs) in the Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index, as defined by the S&P Dow Jones Indices REIT/RESI Industry Classification Hierarchy, that meet the minimum float market capitalization (FMC) and liquidity thresholds. The aggregate weight of all companies weighing more than 4.5% cannot exceed 22.5%, and no single company’s weight can exceed 10%. The index is reviewed daily based on each company’s capped market capitalization weight. Daily capping is only performed when the sum of companies with weights great than 5% exceeds 25%.
Dow Jones U.S. Select REIT Index An index that is a float-adjusted market-capitalization weighted index comprised of income-producing commercial and/or residential real estate investment trusts (REITs). The index excludes mortgage REITs, net-lease REITs, real estate finance companies, mortgage brokers and bankers, commercial and residential real estate brokers and estate agents, homebuilders, large landowners and sub-dividers of unimproved land, hybrid REITs, timber REITs and companies that have more than 25% of their assets in direct mortgage investments.
exchange A marketplace, or any organization or group that provides or maintains a marketplace for trading securities, options, futures, or commodities.
expense ratio The amount that is taken from the fund’s assets each year to cover the operating expenses. An expense ratio of 0.50% means that a fund’s expenses amount to half of one percent of its average net assets a year.
FTSE EPRA Nareit Global Index (Net) An index that provides a diverse representation of publicly traded equity real estate investment trusts (REITs) and listed property companies worldwide. The index constituents are free-float adjusted, and screened on liquidity, size and revenue. The index is comprised of countries in developed and emerging markets. The Net of Tax Index is calculated based on the maximum withholding tax rates applicable to dividends received by institutional investors who are not resident in the same country as the remitting company and who do not benefit from double taxation treaties.
inception date The date that the shares began trading in the secondary market.
indicative optimized portfolio value (IOPV) A calculation disseminated by the stock exchange that approximates the fund’s NAV every 15 seconds throughout the trading day.
liquidity The ability to convert a security or asset quickly into cash.
market cap, market capitalization The value of a company as determined by the total value of all shares of its stock outstanding.
market price return The return based on the change in market price per share of the fund over a given time period. Market price returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the fund at market price.
median market cap The midpoint of the range of market caps of the stocks held by a fund. There are different ways of calculating median market cap. With a simple median, half of the stocks in the fund’s portfolio would be larger than the median, and half would be smaller. With a weighted median (the type that is calculated for these funds), half of the fund’s assets are invested in stocks that are larger than the median market cap, and half in stocks that are smaller.
MSCI EAFE Index (Net) A free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets in Europe, Australasia, and the Far East. The Net version of the index reflects reinvested dividends net of withholding taxes, but reflects no deductions for expenses or other taxes; returns are calculated applying dividend withholding rates applicable to non-resident persons who do not benefit from double taxation treaties.
net asset value (NAV) The value of one share of a fund. NAV is calculated by taking the fund’s total assets, subtracting liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding.
Schwab U.S. REIT ETF | Annual Report
NAV return The return based on the change in NAV of the fund over a given time period. NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the fund.
offer (ask) The lowest price at which an individual is willing to sell a security.
open The price at which a security opened for trading on a given day.
outstanding shares, shares outstanding When speaking of the fund, indicates all shares currently held by investors.
price-to-book ratio (P/B) The market price of a company’s stock compared with its “book value.” A mutual fund’s P/B is the weighted average of the P/B of all stocks in the fund’s portfolio.
price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) The market price of a company’s stock compared with earnings over the past year. A mutual fund’s P/E is the weighted average of the P/E of all stocks in the fund’s portfolio.
primary market The market that deals with the issuance of new securities.
real estate investment trust (REIT) Real estate companies that own and commonly operate income producing commercial and/or residential real estate.
REIT Spliced Index An internally calculated index, compromised of the Dow Jones U.S. Select REIT Index from the inception of the Schwab U.S. REIT ETF until the close of business on June 19, 2020, and the Dow Jones Equity All REIT Capped Index thereafter. The REIT Spliced Index is published with the permission of S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC, but is not calculated, sponsored or endorsed by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC.
rights and warrants Rights and warrants are types of securities that entitle the holder to purchase a proportionate amount of common stock at a specified price for a specific period of time. Rights allow a
shareholder to buy more shares directly from the company, usually at a price somewhat lower than the current market price of the outstanding shares. Warrants are usually issued with bonds and preferred stock. Rights and warrants can trade on the market separately from the company’s stock. The prices of rights and warrants do not necessarily move parallel to the prices of the underlying common stock. Rights usually expire within a few weeks of issuance, while warrants may not expire for several years. If a right or warrant is not exercised within the specified time period, it will become worthless and a fund will lose the purchase price it paid for the right or warrant and the right to purchase the underlying security.
S&P 500 Index An index that is designed to measure the performance of 500 leading publicly traded companies from a broad range of industries.
sampling If a fund uses a sampling method, the fund will not fully replicate the benchmark index and may hold securities not included in the index. A fund that utilizes a sampling approach may not track the return of the index.
secondary market The market in which investors purchase securities from other investors rather than directly from the issuing companies. Organized exchanges facilitate the trading of securities in the secondary market.
spread The gap between bid and ask prices of a security.
stock A share of ownership, or equity, in the issuing company.
total return The percentage that an investor would have earned or lost on an investment in the fund assuming dividends and distributions were reinvested.
tracking error The difference between the performance of the fund and its benchmark index, positive or negative.

The Schwab Ariel ESG ETF is different from traditional ETFs. Traditional ETFs tell the public what assets they hold each day. This fund will not. This may create additional risks for your investment. For example:
| • | You may have to pay more money to trade the fund’s shares. This fund will provide less information to traders, who tend to charge more for trades when they have less information. |
| • | The price you pay to buy fund shares on an exchange may not match the value of the fund’s portfolio. The same is true when you sell shares. These price differences may be greater for this fund compared to other ETFs because it provides less information to traders. |
| • | These additional risks may be even greater in bad or uncertain market conditions. |
| • | The ETF will publish on its website each day a “Proxy Portfolio” designed to help trading in shares of the ETF. While the Proxy Portfolio includes some of the ETF’s holdings, it is not the ETF’s actual portfolio. |
The differences between this fund and other ETFs may also have advantages. By keeping certain information about the fund secret, this fund may face less risk that other traders can predict or copy its investment strategy. This may improve the fund’s performance. If other traders are able to copy or predict the fund’s investment strategy, however, this may hurt the fund’s performance.
For additional information regarding the unique attributes and risks of the fund, see Proxy Portfolio Risk, Premium/Discount Risk, Trading Halt Risk, Authorized Participant Concentration Risk, Tracking Error Risk and Shares of the Fund May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV in the Principal Risks and Proxy Portfolio and Proxy Overlap sections of the prospectus and/or the Statement of Additional Information. These risks are discussed on the next page.
Active semi-transparent ETFs operate differently from other exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Unlike other ETFs, an active semi-transparent ETF does not publicly disclose its entire portfolio composition each business day, which may affect the price at which shares of the ETF trade in the secondary market. Active semi-transparent ETFs have limited public trading history. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop, be maintained or operate as intended. There is a risk that the market price of an active semi-transparent ETF may vary significantly from the ETF’s net asset value and that its shares may trade at a wider bid/ask spread and, therefore, cost investors more to trade than shares of other ETFs. These risks are heightened during periods of market disruption or volatility.
Proxy Portfolio Risk: Unlike traditional ETFs, this fund does not disclose its portfolio holdings (Actual Portfolio) daily. The fund instead posts a Proxy Portfolio on its website each day. The Proxy Portfolio is designed to reflect the economic exposures and risk characteristics of the fund’s actual holdings on each trading day, but it is not the same as the fund’s Actual Portfolio. Although the Proxy Portfolio is intended to provide investors with enough information to allow for an effective arbitrage mechanism that will keep the market price of the Fund at or close to the underlying NAV per Share of the Fund, there is a risk (which may increase during periods of market disruption or volatility) that market prices will vary significantly from the underlying NAV of the fund. ETF trading on the basis of a published Proxy Portfolio may trade at a wider bid/ask spread than ETFs that publish their portfolios on a daily basis, especially during periods of market disruption or volatility, and therefore may cost investors more to trade. Also, while the Fund seeks to benefit from keeping its portfolio information secret, market participants may attempt to use the Proxy Portfolio to identify a Fund’s trading strategy, which if successful, could result in such market participants engaging in certain predatory trading practices that may have the potential to harm the Fund and its shareholders.
Proxy Portfolio Construction: The Proxy Portfolio is designed to recreate the daily performance of the Actual Portfolio. This is achieved by performing a “Factor Model” analysis of the Actual Portfolio. The Factor Model is comprised of three sets of factors or analytical metrics: market-based factors, fundamental factors, and industry/sector factors. The fund uses a “Model Universe” to generate its Proxy Portfolio. The Model Universe is comprised of securities that the fund can purchase and will be a financial index or stated portfolio of securities from which fund investments will be selected. The results of the Factor Model analysis are then applied to the Model Universe. The Proxy Portfolio is then generated as a result of this Model Universe analysis with the Proxy Portfolio being a small sub-set of the Model Universe. The Factor Model is applied to both the Actual Portfolio and the Model Universe to construct the fund’s Proxy Portfolio that performs in a manner substantially identical to the performance of its Actual Portfolio.
The Proxy Portfolio will only include investments the fund is permitted to hold. The fund’s SAI contains more information on the Proxy Portfolio and its construction. Proxy Portfolio and Proxy Overlap Information regarding the contents of the Proxy Portfolio, and the percentage weight overlap between the holdings of the Proxy Portfolio and a Fund’s Actual Portfolio holdings that formed the basis for its calculation of NAV at the end of the prior Business Day (the Portfolio Overlap), is available by visiting the fund’s website www.schwabassetmanagement.com.
Because environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategies exclude some securities, ESG-focused products may not be able to take advantage of the same opportunities or market trends as products that do not use such strategies. Additionally, the criteria used to select companies for investment may result in investing in securities, industries or sectors that underperform the market as a whole.

| 1 | ETF performance must be shown based on both a market price and NAV basis. The fund’s per share NAV is the value of one share of the fund. NAV is calculated by taking the fund’s total assets (including the fair value of securities owned), subtracting liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV Return is based on the NAV of the fund, and the Market Price Return is based on the market price per share of the fund. The price used to calculate market return (Market Price) is determined using the Official Closing Price on the primary stock exchange (generally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) and may not represent the returns you would receive if shares were traded at other times. Market Price and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively. |

President of Schwab Asset
Management and the funds
covered in this report.
Dear Shareholder,
Before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in late February 2022, financial markets were largely preoccupied with the prospects of continued economic growth in the face of multiple challenges related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Concerns included rising energy and commodity inflation, global supply chain disruptions, and the increasing likelihood that the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) would raise short-term interest rates. Despite these obstacles, the S&P 500® Index, a bellwether for the overall U.S. stock market, gained more than 20% between March and December 2021, bolstered by strong corporate earnings, robust consumer spending, and improving labor statistics. However, investor sentiment turned dramatically risk averse as tensions between Russia and Ukraine began escalating in 2022. Stock markets dipped sharply in January and February, with the S&P 500® Index losing roughly half of its previous gains. International stocks, which had posted milder gains than their U.S. counterparts until then, experienced even steeper losses. For the 12-month reporting period ended February 28, 2022, the S&P 500® Index returned 16.4%, and the MSCI EAFE® Index (Net)*, a broad measure of developed international equity performance, returned 2.8%.
While the tumultuous events beginning at the end of February have clearly unsettled markets and shaken investor confidence, at Schwab Asset Management we believe that when it comes to their investment plan, investors would do well to avoid getting caught up in dramatic events as they unfold. Although markets may react abruptly in the short term, we believe that wealth creation is most reliably built on a foundation of diversification and a long-term investment plan. With their broadly diversified portfolios and cost-effective, passively managed structures, the Schwab Fundamental Index ETFs can serve as part of the core of a diversified portfolio. In addition, by weighting fund holdings based on objective financial measures of company size, Fundamental Index strategies tend to perform differently over time than traditional market-cap index strategies that use market capitalization to weight the same set of stocks. When the two approaches are combined, we believe a portfolio has the potential for better diversification and more attractive risk-adjusted returns.
Thank you for investing with Schwab Asset Management. For more information about the Schwab Fundamental Index ETFs, please continue reading this report. In addition, you can find further details about these funds by visiting our website at www.schwabassetmanagement.com. We are also happy to hear from you at 1-877-824-5615.
Sincerely,
“ While the tumultuous events beginning at the end of February have clearly unsettled markets and shaken investor confidence, at Schwab Asset Management we believe that when it comes to their investment plan, investors would do well to avoid getting caught up in dramatic events as they unfold.”
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Diversification and asset allocation strategies do not ensure a profit and cannot protect against losses in a declining market.

The Investment Environment
For the 12-month reporting period ended February 28, 2022, U.S. equity markets generated positive returns, while global equity markets were mixed. Despite persisting COVID-19 pandemic-driven stresses on the global economy and the emergence and rapid spread of the Delta variant during the summer and the Omicron variant in late 2021, market tailwinds included strong corporate earnings, ongoing, albeit fading, fiscal stimulus measures, and optimism related to increased COVID-19 vaccination rates. As a result, for most of the reporting period, through early January 2022, U.S. equity markets posted steady gains, with several key market indices repeatedly exceeding previous record highs. Developed international equity markets were less robust, but for the most part still positive, while emerging markets were weaker. However, beginning in early 2022, equity markets declined in reaction to growing headwinds that included accelerating inflation, an increasing likelihood of rising interest rates, and, in the final week of the reporting period, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which drove oil prices above $100 per barrel for the first time since 2014 and roiled stock markets around the world. Despite exhibiting some volatility, the U.S. dollar rose over the reporting period against a basket of foreign currencies, generally reducing the returns on overseas investments in U.S. dollar terms. For the reporting period, the S&P 500® Index, a bellwether for the overall U.S. stock market, returned 16.39%. Among U.S. stocks, large-cap stocks outperformed small-cap stocks, with the Russell RAFI™ US Large Company Index returning 19.90% for the reporting period and the Russell 2000® Index and Russell RAFI™ US Small Company Index returning -6.01% and 10.32%, respectively. International equities were weaker. The MSCI EAFE® Index (Net)*, a broad measure of developed international equity performance, and the Russell RAFI™ Developed ex US Large Company Index (Net)* returned 2.83% and 8.00%, respectively, and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net)* and the Russell RAFI™ Emerging Markets Large Company Index (Net)* returned -10.69% and 6.51%, respectively.

The Investment Environment (continued)
The U.S. economy continued its recovery from the dramatic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, although U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) growth fluctuated over the reporting period. GDP rose at an annualized rate of 6.3% and 6.7% in the first and second quarters of 2021, respectively, before falling back to 2.3% for the third quarter of 2021 amid fading government stimuli, ongoing supply chain disruptions, and persisting inflation. GDP rose at an annualized rate of 6.9% in the fourth quarter of 2021 on increasing inventories, exports, and personal consumption expenditures. The unemployment rate, which has fallen steadily after skyrocketing in April 2020, ended the reporting period at its lowest level since February 2020. Annual inflation, which had remained well below the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (Fed) traditional 2% target until it jumped in March 2021, continued to rise during the spring of 2021, leveled off during the summer of 2021, and rose again through the remainder of the reporting period. At the end of the reporting period, inflation was at its highest rate in 40 years, due to imbalances in the labor market, supply chain bottlenecks, and soaring energy costs.
Outside the United States, global economies continued to wrestle with the fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the emergence and spread of the Delta and Omicron variants, along with steepening energy costs and rising inflation. In the eurozone and the United Kingdom, after contracting in the first quarter of 2021, GDP growth was positive for the remainder of the reporting period, although it weakened in the final quarter of 2021. Japan’s economy contracted in both the first and third quarters of 2021 but expanded in the second and fourth quarters. Its rising fourth quarter growth was attributed to increases in household consumption and business investment in the face of a decline in COVID-19 cases and easing restrictions. Among emerging markets, China’s GDP growth rate accelerated sharply in the first quarter of 2021 before easing sharply for the subsequent three quarters, albeit remaining positive, in part because of the political landscape and an emphasis on domestic consumption over globalization, as well as multiple headwinds including a property downturn, supply chain issues, and COVID-19 outbreaks. India, after plunging into one of the worst recessions of any major economy in 2020, posted positive gains in GDP for 2021 as COVID-19 cases fell rapidly.
Monetary policies around the world varied. In the United States, early in the reporting period, the Fed reiterated several times its intention to continue its support of the economy for as long as needed to achieve a full recovery and the Fed maintained the federal funds rate in a range of 0.00% to 0.25% throughout the reporting period. However, as inflation continued to rise and indicators of economic activity and employment continued to strengthen, the Fed began scaling back its bond-buying program in November 2021, citing significant progress on its twin goals of maximum employment and price stability. The Fed subsequently accelerated its wind-down in December 2021, with expectations to end it altogether by March 2022. Fed officials also issued successively strong signals that interest rates could begin to rise sooner in 2022 than previously anticipated. In developed international economies, most central banks were similarly accommodative while acknowledging economic improvements and rising inflation and, in some cases, changes in monetary policy. The European Central bank held its interest rate at 0.00%, unchanged since March 2016, but pledged to steadily reduce its asset purchase program. The Bank of Japan upheld its short-term interest rate target of -0.1%, also unchanged since 2016, and stressed that it would maintain its ultra-loose monetary policy despite growing inflation, even as its global counterparts sought to exit from crisis mode policies. The Bank of England raised its key official bank rate twice during the reporting period, from 0.1% to 0.5%, its first back-to-back rate increase since 2004, citing inflationary pressures. Emerging market monetary policies were mixed. China cut its interest rate twice over the reporting period. Indonesia and India maintained low policy rates implemented in 2020 and early 2021. Central banks in Mexico, Brazil, and Pakistan raised their rates multiple times over the reporting period, citing a stronger-than-expected recovery or to counteract the impacts of inflation. Russia, notably, raised its interest rate to 20% in late February amid the broadening fallout of Western sanctions put in place in retaliation against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Schwab Fundamental Index ETFs | Annual Report
Schwab Fundamental U.S. Broad Market Index ETF as of February 28, 2022
The Schwab Fundamental U.S. Broad Market Index ETF’s (the fund) goal is to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the total return of the Russell RAFITM US Index (the index). The index measures the performance of the constituent companies by fundamental overall company scores, which are created using as the universe the U.S. companies in the FTSE Global Total Cap Index. To pursue its investment objective, the fund invests in a representative sample of the securities included in the index which, when taken together, are expected to perform similarly to the index as a whole. Due to the use of sampling techniques, the fund may not hold all of the securities in the index. For more information concerning the fund’s investment objective, strategies, and risks, please see the fund’s prospectus.
Market Highlights. For the 12-month reporting period ended February 28, 2022, U.S. equity markets generated positive returns, while global equity markets were mixed. Despite persisting COVID-19 pandemic-driven stresses on the global economy and the emergence and rapid spread of the Delta variant during the summer and the Omicron variant in late 2021, market tailwinds included strong corporate earnings, ongoing, albeit fading, fiscal stimulus measures, and optimism related to increased COVID-19 vaccination rates.

However, beginning in early 2022, equity markets declined in reaction to growing headwinds that included accelerating inflation, an increasing likelihood of rising interest rates, and, in the final week of the reporting period, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which drove oil prices above $100 per barrel for the first time since 2014 and roiled stock markets around the world.
Performance. For the 12-month reporting period ended February 28, 2022, the fund generally tracked the index. The fund’s market price return was 18.71% and its NAV return was 18.80% (for an explanation of the market price and NAV returns, please refer to footnote 2 on the following page). The index returned 19.09% during the same period. Differences between the return of the fund and the return of the index may be attributable to, among other things, the trading and management costs incurred by the fund and not the index.
Contributors and Detractors. The communications services sector detracted from the total return of the fund. Stocks in the communications services sector represented an average weight of approximately 7% of the fund’s investments and returned approximately -2% for the reporting period. One example from this sector is entertainment company The Walt Disney Co. The fund’s holdings of The Walt Disney Co. represented an average weight of less than 1% of the fund’s investments and returned approximately -21% for the reporting period.
While there were no additional sectors that detracted from the total return of the fund, the real estate sector was the smallest contributor to the total return of the fund, representing an average weight of approximately 3% of the fund’s investments and returning approximately 19% for the reporting period.
The financials sector contributed the most to the total return of the fund. Stocks in the financials sector represented an average weight of approximately 17% of the fund’s investments and returned approximately 22% for the reporting period. One example from this sector is Wells Fargo & Co., a diversified financial services company. The fund’s holdings of Wells Fargo & Co. represented an average weight of approximately 1% of the fund’s investments and returned approximately 50% for the reporting period.
The energy sector also contributed to the total return of the fund, representing an average weight of approximately 8% of the fund’s investments and returning approximately 49% for the reporting period.

Schwab Fundamental Index ETFs | Annual Report
Schwab Fundamental U.S. Small Company Index ETF as of February 28, 2022
The Schwab Fundamental U.S. Small Company Index ETF’s (the fund) goal is to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the total return of the Russell RAFITM US Small Company Index (the index). The index measures the performance of the small company size segment by fundamental overall company scores, which are created using as the universe the U.S. companies in the FTSE Global Total Cap Index. To pursue its investment objective, the fund uses a replication investment approach and generally gives the same weight to a given stock as the index does. For more information concerning the fund’s investment objective, strategies, and risks, please see the fund’s prospectus.
Market Highlights. U.S. small-cap stocks underperformed U.S. large-cap stocks over the reporting period. For the 12-month reporting period ended February 28, 2022, U.S. equity markets generated positive returns, while global equity markets were mixed. Despite persisting COVID-19 pandemic-driven stresses on the global economy and the emergence and rapid spread of the Delta variant during the summer and the Omicron variant in late 2021, market tailwinds included strong corporate earnings, ongoing, albeit fading, fiscal stimulus measures, and optimism related to increased COVID-19 vaccination rates. As a result, for most of the reporting period, through early January 2022, U.S. equity markets posted steady gains, with several key market indices repeatedly exceeding previous record highs. Developed international equity markets were less robust, but for the most part still positive, while emerging markets were weaker. However, beginning in early 2022, equity markets declined in reaction to growing headwinds that included accelerating inflation, an increasing likelihood of rising interest rates, and, in the final week of the reporting period, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which drove oil prices above $100 per barrel for the first time since 2014 and roiled stock markets around the world.
Performance. For the 12-month reporting period ended February 28, 2022, the fund generally tracked the index. The fund’s market price return was 10.01% and the fund’s NAV return was 10.06% (for an explanation of the market price and NAV returns, please refer to footnote 2 on the following page). The index returned 10.32% during the same period. Differences between the return of the fund and the return of the index may be attributable to, among other things, the trading and management costs incurred by the fund and not the index.
Contributors and Detractors. The information technology sector detracted from the total return of the fund. Stocks from the information technology sector represented an average weight of approximately 11% of the fund’s investments. The return for the sector was slightly negative, nearly flat, for the reporting period. One example from this sector is CommScope Holding Co., Inc., which designs, builds, and manages wired and wireless networks. The fund’s holdings of CommScope Holding Co., Inc. represented less than 1% of the fund’s investments and returned approximately -40% for the reporting period.
While there were no additional sectors that detracted from the total return of the fund, the health care sector was the smallest contributor to the total return of the fund, representing an average weight of approximately 6% of the fund’s investments and returning approximately 1% for the reporting period.
The financials sector contributed the most to the total return of the fund. Stocks in the financials sector represented an average weight of approximately 15% of the fund’s investments and returned approximately 16% for the reporting period. One example from this sector is Santander Consumer USA Holdings, Inc., which provides auto loans. The fund’s holdings of Santander Consumer USA Holdings, Inc. represented an average weight of less than 1% of the fund’s investments and returned approximately 61% for the reporting period. The fund’s position in Santander Consumer USA Holdings, Inc. was sold prior to the end of the reporting period.
The energy sector also contributed to the total return of the fund, representing an average weight of approximately 5% of the fund’s investments and returning approximately 51% for the reporting period.

Market Highlights. Overall, stocks of large companies in developed international markets generated positive returns for the reporting period. For the 12-month reporting period ended February 28, 2022, U.S. equity markets generated positive returns, while global equity markets were mixed. Despite persisting COVID-19 pandemic-driven stresses on the global economy and the emergence and rapid spread of the Delta variant during the summer and the Omicron variant in late 2021, market tailwinds included strong corporate earnings, ongoing, albeit fading, fiscal stimulus measures, and optimism related to increased COVID-19 vaccination rates.

However, beginning in early 2022, equity markets declined in reaction to growing headwinds that included accelerating inflation, an increasing likelihood of rising interest rates, and, in the final week of the reporting period, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which drove oil prices above $100 per barrel for the first time since 2014 and roiled stock markets around the world. Despite exhibiting some volatility, the U.S. dollar rose over the reporting period against a basket of foreign currencies, generally reducing the returns on overseas investments in U.S. dollar terms.

| 1 | Performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the redemption or sale of fund shares. |
| 2 | ETF performance must be shown based on both a market price and NAV basis. The fund’s per share NAV is the value of one share of the fund. NAV is calculated by taking the fund’s total assets (including the fair value of securities owned), subtracting liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV Return is based on the NAV of the fund, and the Market Price Return is based on the market price per share of the fund. The price used to calculate market return (Market Price) is determined using the Official Closing Price on the primary stock exchange (generally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) and may not represent the returns you would receive if shares were traded at other times. NAV is used as a proxy for purposes of calculating Market Price Return on inception date. Market Price and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively. |

Schwab Fundamental Emerging Markets Large Company Index ETF as of February 28, 2022
The Schwab Fundamental Emerging Markets Large Company Index ETF’s (the fund) goal is to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the total return of the Russell RAFITM Emerging Markets Large Company Index (the index). The index measures the performance of the large company size segment by fundamental overall company scores, which are created using as the universe the emerging markets companies in the FTSE Global Total Cap Index. To pursue its investment objective, the fund invests in a representative sample of the securities included in the index which, when taken together, are expected to perform similarly to the index as a whole. Due to the use of sampling techniques, the fund may not hold all of the securities in the index. For more information concerning the fund’s investment objective, strategies, and risks, please see the fund’s prospectus.
Market Highlights. Overall, stocks in emerging markets generally produced negative returns for the reporting period. For the 12-month reporting period ended February 28, 2022, U.S. equity markets generated positive returns, while global equity markets were mixed. Despite persisting COVID-19 pandemic-driven stresses on the global economy and the emergence and rapid spread of the Delta variant during the summer and the Omicron variant in late 2021, market tailwinds included strong corporate earnings, ongoing, albeit fading, fiscal stimulus measures, and optimism related to increased COVID-19 vaccination rates. As a result, for most of the reporting period, through early January 2022, U.S. equity markets posted steady gains, with several key market indices repeatedly exceeding previous record highs. Developed international equity markets were less robust, but for the most part still positive, while emerging markets were weaker. However, beginning in early 2022, equity markets declined in reaction to growing headwinds that included accelerating inflation, an increasing likelihood of rising interest rates, and, in the final week of the reporting period, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which drove oil prices above $100 per barrel for the first time since 2014 and roiled stock markets around the world. Despite exhibiting some volatility, the U.S. dollar rose over the reporting period against a basket of foreign currencies, generally reducing the returns on overseas investments in U.S. dollar terms.
Performance. For the 12-month reporting period ended February 28, 2022, the fund’s market price return was 5.31% and its NAV return was 2.97% (for an explanation of the market price and NAV returns, please refer to footnote 2 on the following page). The index returned 6.51%1 during the same period. Fair valuation2 of the fund’s holdings detracted from the fund’s relative performance. Differences between the return of the fund and the return of the index may also be attributable to, among other things, the trading and management costs incurred by the fund and not the index.
Contributors and Detractors. Stocks from Russia detracted the most from the total return of the fund. Russian stocks also detracted from the fund’s performance relative to the index as a result of the Russian stock exchange closure resulting in fair valuation2 of Russian securities by the fund but not the index. Russian stocks represented an average weight of approximately 12% of the fund’s investments and returned approximately -67% in U.S. dollar terms for the reporting period. The average weight of Russian stocks in the index was also approximately 12% but returned approximately -36% in U.S. dollar terms for the reporting period. One example from this market is LUKOIL PJSC, which explores for, produces, refines, transports, and markets oil and gas mainly from Western Siberia. The fund’s holdings of LUKOIL PJSC represented an average weight of approximately 3% of the fund’s investments and returned approximately -64% in U.S. dollar terms for the reporting period. The average weight of LUKOIL PJSC in the index was also approximately 3% but returned approximately -30% in U.S. dollar terms for the reporting period.
Stocks from China also detracted from the total return of the fund, representing an average weight of approximately 25% of the fund’s investments and returning approximately -8% in U.S. dollar terms for the reporting period.
Stocks from Brazil contributed the most to the total return of the fund. Brazilian stocks represented an average weight of approximately 10% of the fund’s investments and returned approximately 39% in U.S. dollar terms for the reporting period. One example from this market is Petroleo Brasileiro S.A., which refines, markets, and supplies oil products. The fund’s preferred stock holdings of Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. represented an average weight of approximately 1% of the fund’s investments and returned approximately 102% in U.S. dollar terms for the reporting period.
Stocks from South Africa also contributed to the total return of the fund, representing an average weight of 7% of the fund’s investments and returning approximately 52% in U.S. dollar terms for the reporting period.
Management views and portfolio holdings may have changed since the report date.

Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
Examples for a $1,000 Investment
As a fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of fund shares; and, (2) ongoing costs, including management fees.
The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing cost (in dollars) of investing in a fund and to compare this cost with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds. These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested for six months beginning September 1, 2021 and held through February 28, 2022.
Actual Return lines in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value ÷ $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical Return lines in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed return of 5% per year before expenses. Because the return used is not an actual return, it may not be used to estimate the actual ending account value or expenses you paid for the period.
You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs, including any brokerage commissions you may pay when purchasing or selling shares of a fund. Therefore, the hypothetical return lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1. Business Structure of the Funds:
Each of the funds in this report is a series of Schwab Strategic Trust (the trust), a no-load, open-end management investment company. The trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). The list below shows all the operational funds in the trust as of the end of the period, including the funds discussed in this report, which are highlighted:

The funds issue and redeem shares at their net asset value per share (NAV) only in large blocks of shares (Creation Units). These transactions are usually in exchange for a basket of securities and/or an amount of cash. As a practical matter, only institutional investors who have entered into an authorized participant agreement purchase or redeem Creation Units. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of the funds are not redeemable securities.
Individual shares of the funds trade on national securities exchanges and elsewhere during the trading day and can only be bought and sold at market prices throughout the trading day through a broker-dealer. Because fund shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). A chart showing the frequency at which each fund’s daily closing market price was at a discount or premium to each fund’s NAV can be found at www.schwabassetmanagement.com
Each fund maintains its own account for purposes of holding assets and accounting, and is considered a separate entity for tax purposes. Within its account, each fund may also keep certain assets in segregated accounts, as required by securities law.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies the funds use in their preparation of financial statements. The funds follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies. The accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
The funds may invest in certain mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) which are referred to as “underlying funds”. For more information about the underlying funds’ operations and policies, please refer to those funds’ semiannual and annual reports, which are filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov
(a) Security Valuation:
Under procedures approved by the funds’ Board of Trustees (the Board), the investment adviser has formed a Pricing Committee to administer the pricing and valuation of portfolio securities and other assets and to ensure that prices used for internal purposes or provided by third parties reasonably reflect fair value. Among other things, these procedures allow the funds to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers and other market sources to determine fair value.
Schwab Fundamental Index ETFs | Annual Report
Schwab Fundamental Index ETFs
Financial Notes (continued)
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
The funds value the securities in their portfolios every business day. The funds use the following policies to value various types of securities:
• Securities traded on an exchange or over-the-counter: Traded securities are valued at the closing value for the day, or, on days when no closing value has been reported, at the mean of the most recent bid and ask quotes. Securities that are primarily traded on foreign exchanges are valued at the official closing price or the last sales price on the exchange where the securities are principally traded with these values then translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate, unless these securities are fair valued as discussed below.
• Futures contracts: Futures contracts are valued at their settlement prices as of the close of their exchanges.
• Mutual funds: Mutual funds are valued at their respective NAVs.
• Securities for which no quoted value is available: The Board has adopted procedures to fair value each fund’s securities when market prices are not “readily available” or are unreliable. For example, a fund may fair value a security when it is de-listed or its trading is halted or suspended; when a security’s primary pricing source is unable or unwilling to provide a price; or when a security’s primary trading market is closed during regular market hours. Each fund makes fair value determinations in good faith in accordance with the fund’s valuation procedures. The Pricing Committee considers a number of factors, including unobservable market inputs, when arriving at fair value. The Pricing Committee may employ techniques such as the review of related or comparable assets or liabilities, related market activities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, transactional back-testing, disposition analysis and other relevant information. The Pricing Committee regularly reviews these inputs and assumptions to calibrate the valuations. Due to the subjective and variable nature of fair value pricing, there can be no assurance that a fund could obtain the fair value assigned to the security upon the sale of such security. The Board convenes on a regular basis to review fair value determinations made by the funds pursuant to the valuation procedures.
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the significant inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). If inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. If the funds determine that either the volume and/or level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased (from normal conditions for that asset or liability) or price quotations or observable inputs are not associated with orderly transactions, increased analysis and management judgment will be required to estimate fair value.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
• Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities — Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equities, mutual funds, ETFs and futures contracts. Investments in mutual funds are valued daily at their NAVs, and investments in ETFs are valued daily at the last reported sale price or the official closing price, which are classified as Level 1 prices, without consideration to the classification level of the underlying securities held by an underlying fund.
• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) — Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but whose values are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified as Level 2 prices. These generally include U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, certain mortgage products, less liquid listed equities, and state, municipal and provincial obligations.
• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) — Investments whose values are classified as Level 3 prices have significant unobservable inputs, as they may trade infrequently or not at all. When observable prices are not available for these securities, the funds use one or more valuation techniques for which sufficient and reliable data is available. The inputs used by the funds in estimating the value of Level 3 prices may include the original transaction price, quoted prices for similar securities or assets in active markets, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, and changes in financial

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
ratios or cash flows. Level 3 prices may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the funds in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the funds due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the funds’ results of operations.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The levels associated with valuing the funds’ investments as of February 28, 2022 are disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings.
(b) Accounting Policies for certain Portfolio Investments (if held):
Futures Contracts: Futures contracts are instruments that represent an agreement between two parties that obligates one party to buy, and the other party to sell, specific instruments at an agreed upon price on a stipulated future date. A fund must give the broker a deposit of cash and/or securities (initial margin) whenever it enters into a futures contract. The amount of the deposit may vary from one contract to another. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contract and are accounted for as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is closed, at which time the gains or losses are realized. Futures contracts are traded publicly on exchanges, and their value may change daily.
Securities Lending: Under the trust’s Securities Lending Program, a fund (lender) may make short-term loans of its securities to another party (borrower) to generate additional revenue for the fund. The borrower pledges collateral in the form of cash, securities issued or fully guaranteed by the U.S. government or foreign governments, or letters of credit issued by a bank. Collateral at the individual loan level is required to be maintained on a daily marked-to-market basis in an amount at least equal to the current value of the securities loaned. The lending agent provides a fund with indemnification against borrower default (the borrower fails to return the security on loan) reducing the risk of loss as a result of default. The cash collateral of securities loaned is currently invested in money market portfolios operating pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Each fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of cash collateral. The terms of the securities lending agreement allow the funds or the lending agent to terminate any loan at any given time and the securities must be returned within the earlier of the standard trade settlement period or the specified time period under the relevant securities lending agreement. Securities lending income, as disclosed in each fund’s Statement of Operations, if applicable, represents the income earned from the investment of the cash collateral plus any fees paid by borrowers, less the fees paid to the lending agent and broker rebates which are subject to adjustments pursuant to the securities lending agreement. On loans not collateralized by cash, a fee is received from the borrower, and is allocated between a fund and the lending agent. The aggregate fair value of securities loaned will not at any time exceed one-third of the total assets of a fund, including collateral received from the loan. Securities lending fees paid to the unaffiliated lending agents start at 10% of gross lending revenue, with subsequent breakpoints to a low of 5%. In this context, the gross lending revenue equals the income received from the investment of cash collateral and fees paid by borrowers less any rebates paid to the borrowers. Any expenses charged by the cash collateral fund are in addition to these fees. All remaining revenue is retained by the fund, as applicable. No portion of lending revenue is paid to or retained by the investment adviser or any of its affiliates.
As of February 28, 2022, Schwab Fundamental U.S. Broad Market Index ETF, Schwab Fundamental U.S. Large Company Index ETF, Schwab Fundamental U.S. Small Company Index ETF, Schwab Fundamental International Large Company Index ETF, Schwab Fundamental International Small Company Index ETF and Schwab Fundamental Emerging Markets Large Company Index ETF had securities on loan, all of which were classified as common stocks and warrants. The value of the securities on loan and the related collateral as of February 28, 2022 are disclosed in each fund’s Portfolio Holdings and Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Passive Foreign Investment Companies: Certain funds may own shares in certain foreign corporations that meet the Internal Revenue Code definition of a passive foreign investment company (PFIC). The funds may elect for tax purposes to mark-to-market annually the shares of each PFIC lot held and would be required to distribute as ordinary income to shareholders any such marked-to-market gains (as well as any gains realized on sale).
Central Securities Depositories Regulation: Effective February 1, 2022, the Central Securities Depositories Regulation (CSDR) introduced new measures for the authorization and supervision of European Union Central Security Depositories and sets out to create a common set of prudential, organizational, and conduct of business standards at a European level. CSDR is designed to support securities settlement and operational aspects of securities settlement, including the provision of shorter settlement periods; mandatory buy-ins; and cash penalties, to prevent and address settlement fails. CSDR measures are aimed to prevent settlement fails by ensuring that all transaction details are provided to facilitate settlement, as well as further incentivizing timely settlement by imposing cash penalty fines and buy-ins.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
International Small Company Index ETF and Schwab Fundamental Emerging Markets Large Company Index ETF may be subject to pay cash penalties and may also receive cash penalties with certain counterparties in instances where there are settlement fails. At this time, management believes the adoption of CSDR will not have a material impact to the financial statements.
(c) Security Transactions:
Security transactions are recorded as of the date the order to buy or sell the security is executed. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are based on the identified costs of the securities involved.
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are reported in U.S. dollars. For assets and liabilities held on a given date, the dollar value is based on market exchange rates in effect on that date. Transactions involving foreign currencies, including purchases, sales, income receipts and expense payments, are calculated using exchange rates in effect on the transaction date. Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the recorded amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange appreciation or depreciation arises from changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign denominated assets and liabilities other than investments in securities held at the end of the reporting period. These realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses are reported in foreign currency transactions or translations on the Statement of Operations. The funds do not isolate the portion of the fluctuations on investments resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates from the fluctuations in market prices of investments held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
Gains realized by the funds on the sale of securities in certain foreign countries may be subject to non-U.S. taxes. In those instances, the funds record a liability based on unrealized gains to provide for potential non-U.S. taxes payable upon the sale of these securities.
When a fund closes out a futures contract position, it calculates the difference between the value of the position at the beginning and at the end of the contract, and records a realized gain or loss accordingly.
(d) Investment Income:
Interest income is recorded as it accrues. Dividends, in the form of cash or non-cash income such as in the form of additional securities, and distributions from portfolio securities and underlying funds are recorded on the date they are effective (the ex-dividend date), although the funds record certain foreign security dividends on the date the ex-dividend is confirmed. Any distributions from underlying funds are recorded in accordance with the character of the distributions as designated by the underlying funds.
Income received from foreign sources may result in withholding tax. Withholding taxes are accrued at the same time as the related income if the tax rate is fixed and known, unless a tax withheld is reclaimable from the local tax authorities in which case it is recorded as receivable. If the tax rate is not known or estimable, such expense or reclaim receivable is recorded when the net proceeds are received.
The Schwab Fundamental International Large Company Index ETF, Schwab Fundamental International Small Company Index ETF and Schwab Fundamental Emerging Markets Large Company Index ETF filed claims to recover taxes previously withheld in certain European Union countries on the basis that those countries had purportedly violated certain provisions in the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. These filings are subject to various administrative and judicial proceedings within these countries, and all professional fees associated with these filings have been paid by the investment adviser. For additional details see Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions in financial note 4, Other Affiliated Transactions.
(e) Expenses:
Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement (Advisory Agreement) between the investment adviser and the trust, the investment adviser will pay the operating expenses of each fund, excluding taxes, any brokerage expenses, and extraordinary or non-routine expenses. Taxes, any brokerage expenses and extraordinary or non-routine expenses that are specific to a fund are charged directly to the fund.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
(f) Distributions to Shareholders:
Schwab Fundamental U.S. Broad Market Index ETF, Schwab Fundamental U.S. Large Company Index ETF, and Schwab Fundamental U.S. Small Company Index ETF make distributions from net investment income, if any, quarterly. Schwab Fundamental International Large Company Index ETF, Schwab Fundamental International Small Company Index ETF, and Schwab Fundamental Emerging Markets Large Company Index ETF make distributions from net investment income, if any, semiannually. All funds make distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, once a year. To receive a distribution, you must be a registered shareholder on the record date. Distributions are paid to shareholders on the payable date.
(g) Accounting Estimates:
The accounting policies described in this report conform to GAAP. Notwithstanding this, shareholders should understand that in order to follow these principles, fund management has to make estimates and assumptions that affect the information reported in the financial statements. It’s possible that once the results are known, they may turn out to be different from these estimates and these differences may be material.
(h) Federal Income Taxes:
The funds intend to meet federal income and excise tax requirements for regulated investment companies under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Accordingly, the funds distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to their respective shareholders each year. As long as a fund meets the tax requirements, it is not required to pay federal income tax.
(i) Foreign Taxes:
The funds may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, corporate events, foreign currency exchanges and capital gains on investments. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in foreign markets in which the funds invest. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the funds and are disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Foreign taxes accrued as of February 28, 2022, if any, are reflected in each fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(j) Indemnification:
Under the funds’ organizational documents, the officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the funds. In addition, in the normal course of business the funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide general indemnifications. The funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the funds. However, based on experience, the funds expect the risk of loss attributable to these arrangements to be remote.
3. Risk Factors:
Investing in the funds may involve certain risks, as discussed in the funds’ prospectus, including, but not limited to, those described below. Any of these risks could cause an investor to lose money.
Market Risk. Financial markets rise and fall in response to a variety of factors, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Markets may be impacted by economic, political, regulatory and other conditions, including economic sanctions and other government actions. In addition, the occurrence of global events, such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters and epidemics may also negatively affect the financial markets. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of an investment in a fund will fluctuate, which means that an investor could lose money over short or long periods.
Investment Style Risk. The funds are index funds. Therefore, each fund follows their respective securities included in the index during upturns as well as downturns. Because of their indexing strategies, the funds do not take steps to reduce market exposure or to lessen the effects of a declining market. In addition, because of the funds’ expenses, the funds’ performance may be below that of their respective index. Errors relating to the index may occur from time to time and may not be identified by the index provider for a period of time. In addition, market disruptions could cause delays in the index’s rebalancing schedule. Such errors and/or market disruptions may result in losses for a fund.
Equity Risk. The prices of equity securities rise and fall daily. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, industries or the securities market as a whole. In addition, equity markets tend to move in cycles, which may cause stock prices to fall over short or extended periods of time.
Schwab Fundamental Index ETFs | Annual Report
Schwab Fundamental Index ETFs
Financial Notes (continued)
3. Risk Factors (continued):
Market Capitalization Risk. Securities issued by companies of different market capitalizations tend to go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. During a period when securities of a particular market capitalization fall behind other types of investments, a fund’s performance could be impacted.
Large-Cap Company Risk. Certain funds invest in large-cap company stocks. Large-cap companies are generally more mature and the securities issued by these companies may not be able to reach the same levels of growth as the securities issued by small- or mid-cap companies.
Mid-Cap Company Risk. Certain funds invest in mid-cap company stocks. Mid-cap companies may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies and the value of securities issued by these companies may move sharply.
Small-Cap Company Risk. Certain funds invest in small-cap company stocks. Securities issued by small-cap companies may be riskier than those issued by larger companies, and their prices may move sharply, especially during market upturns and downturns.
Foreign Investment Risk. A fund’s investments in securities of foreign issuers involve certain risks that may be greater than those associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These include risks of adverse changes in foreign economic, political, regulatory and other conditions; changes in currency exchange rates or exchange control regulations (including limitations on currency movements and exchanges); the imposition of economic sanctions or other government restrictions; differing accounting, auditing, financial reporting and legal standards and practices; differing securities market structures; and higher transaction costs. These risks may negatively impact the value or liquidity of a fund’s investments, and could impair the fund’s ability to meet its investment objective or invest in accordance with its investment strategy. There is a risk that investments in securities denominated in, and/or receiving revenues in, foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar. Foreign securities also include American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs) and European Depositary Receipts (EDRs), which may be less liquid than the underlying shares in their primary trading market, and GDRs, in particular, many of which are issued by companies in emerging markets, may be more volatile. Foreign securities may also include investments in variable interest entities (VIEs) structures, which are created by China-based operating companies in jurisdictions outside of China to obtain indirect financing due to Chinese regulations that prohibit non-Chinese ownership of those companies. To the extent a fund’s investments in a single country or a limited number of countries represent a large percentage of the fund’s assets, the fund’s performance may be adversely affected by the economic, political, regulatory and social conditions in those countries, and the fund’s price may be more volatile than the price of a fund that is geographically diversified.
Emerging Markets Risk. Certain funds invest in emerging markets. Emerging market countries may be more likely to experience political turmoil or rapid changes in market or economic conditions than more developed countries. Emerging market countries often have less uniformity in accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping requirements and greater risk associated with the custody of securities. In addition, the financial stability of issuers (including governments) in emerging market countries may be more precarious than in developed countries. As a result, there may be an increased risk of illiquidity and price volatility associated with a fund’s investments in emerging market countries, which may be magnified by currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar, and, at times, it may be difficult to value such investments.
Sampling Index Tracking Risk. Certain funds may not fully replicate the index and may hold securities not included in the index. As a result, a fund is subject to the risk that the investment adviser’s investment management strategy, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results. Because certain funds utilize a sampling approach they may not track the return of their respective index as well as they would if the funds purchased all of the securities in their respective index.
Tracking Error Risk. As index funds, each fund seeks to track the performance of its respective index, although it may not be successful in doing so. The divergence between the performance of a fund and the index, positive or negative, is called “tracking error.” Tracking error can be caused by many factors and it may be significant.
Derivatives Risk. Each fund may use derivatives to enhance returns or hedge against market declines. Examples of derivatives are options, futures, options on futures and swaps. An option is the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an instrument at a specific price on or before a specific date. A future is an agreement to buy or sell a financial instrument at a specific price on a specific day. A swap is an agreement whereby two parties agree to exchange payment streams calculated in relation to a rate, index, instrument or certain securities and a predetermined amount. A fund’s use of derivatives that are subject to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) could cause the fund to become a commodity pool, which would require the fund to comply with certain CFTC rules.

3. Risk Factors (continued):
A fund’s use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Certain of these risks, such as liquidity risk, leverage risk and market risk, are discussed elsewhere in this section. A fund’s use of derivatives is also subject to counterparty risk, lack of availability risk, valuation risk, correlation risk and tax risk. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to a derivatives transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations either because the financial condition of the counterparty declines, or because the counterparty is otherwise unable or unwilling to perform under the contract. Lack of availability risk is the risk that suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances for risk management or other purposes. Valuation risk is the risk that a particular derivative may be valued incorrectly. Correlation risk is the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. Tax risk is the risk that the use of derivatives may cause the fund to realize higher amounts of short-term capital gains. A fund’s use of derivatives could reduce the fund’s performance, increase the fund’s volatility, and could cause the fund to lose more than the initial amount invested.
Liquidity Risk. A fund may be unable to sell certain securities, such as illiquid securities, readily at a favorable time or price, or the fund may have to sell them at a loss.
Leverage Risk. Certain fund transactions, such as derivatives transactions, may give rise to a form of leverage and may expose a fund to greater risk. Leverage tends to magnify the effect of any decrease or increase in the value of a fund’s portfolio securities which means even a small amount of leverage can have a disproportionately large impact on the fund. The use of leverage may cause a fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it would not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations.
Securities Lending Risk. Securities lending involves the risk of loss of rights in, or delay in recovery of, the loaned securities if the borrower fails to return the security loaned or becomes insolvent.
Concentration Risk. To the extent that a fund’s or an index’s portfolio is concentrated in the securities of issuers in a particular market, industry, group of industries, sector, country or asset class, the fund may be adversely affected by the performance of those securities, may be subject to increased price volatility and may be more vulnerable to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory occurrences affecting that market, industry, group of industries, sector, country or asset class.
Market Trading Risk. Although fund shares are listed on national securities exchanges, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for fund shares will develop or be maintained. If an active market is not maintained, investors may find it difficult to buy or sell fund shares.
Share of the Fund may Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. Fund shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of the shares of a fund will approximate the fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price and the NAV vary significantly. An investor may pay more than NAV when buying shares of a fund in the secondary market, and an investor may receive less than NAV when selling those shares in the secondary market. The market price of fund shares may deviate, sometimes significantly, from NAV during periods of market volatility or market disruption, or as a result of other factors impacting foreign securities, including liquidity, irregular trading activity and timing differences between foreign markets where securities trade and the secondary market where fund shares are sold.

10. In-Kind Transactions:
The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a fund often consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of equity securities, which constitutes an optimized representation of the securities involved in a relevant fund’s underlying index, and an amount of cash. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units are subject to a standard creation transaction fee and a standard redemption transaction fee paid to the custodian to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units. Purchasers and redeemers of Creation Units for cash are subject to an additional variable charge paid to the fund that will offset the transaction costs to the fund of buying or selling portfolio securities. In addition, purchasers and redeemers of shares in Creation Units are responsible for payment of the costs of transferring securities to or out of the fund. From time to time, the investment adviser may cover the cost of any transaction fees when believed to be in the best interests of a fund.
The in-kind transactions for the period ended February 28, 2022, were as follows:
| | IN-KIND PURCHASES
OF SECURITIES | IN-KIND SALES
OF SECURITIES |
| Schwab Fundamental U.S. Broad Market Index ETF | $101,486,601 | $15,483,967 |

| Schwab Fundamental Emerging Markets Large Company Index ETF | 266,929,723 | 117,705,349 |
For the period ended February 28, 2022, where applicable, the funds realized net capital gains or losses resulting from in-kind redemptions of Creation Units. Because such gains or losses are not taxable to the funds and are not distributed to existing fund shareholders, the gains or losses are reclassified from accumulated net realized gains or losses to capital received from investors at the end of the funds’ tax year. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. The net realized in-kind gains or losses for the period ended February 28, 2022 are disclosed in the funds’ Statements of Operations, if any.

The primary difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation or unrealized depreciation of investments is the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized appreciation on investments in PFICs and partnership investments. The tax cost of the funds’ investments, disclosed above, have been adjusted from their book amounts to reflect these unrealized appreciation or depreciation differences, as applicable.

Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax basis, which may differ from net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements. The fund may also designate a portion of the amount paid to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences may result in reclassifications between components of net assets as required. The adjustments will have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
As of February 28, 2022, management has reviewed the tax positions for open periods (for federal purposes, three years from the date of filing and for state purposes, four years from the date of filing) as applicable to the funds, and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the funds’ financial statements. The funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Schwab Strategic Trust and Shareholders of Schwab Fundamental U.S. Broad Market Index ETF, Schwab Fundamental U.S. Large Company Index ETF, Schwab Fundamental U.S. Small Company Index ETF, Schwab Fundamental International Large Company Index ETF, Schwab Fundamental International Small Company Index ETF, and Schwab Fundamental Emerging Markets Large Company Index ETF:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio holdings, of Schwab Fundamental U.S. Broad Market Index ETF, Schwab Fundamental U.S. Large Company Index ETF, Schwab Fundamental U.S. Small Company Index ETF, Schwab Fundamental International Large Company Index ETF, Schwab Fundamental International Small Company Index ETF, and Schwab Fundamental Emerging Markets Large Company Index ETF (the “Funds”), six of the funds constituting Schwab Strategic Trust, as of February 28, 2022, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of February 28, 2022, and the results of their operations for the year then ended, and the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial highlights for each of the three years in the period ended February 29, 2020 were audited by other auditors, whose report, dated April 16, 2020, expressed an unqualified opinion on such financial highlights.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of February 28, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Liquidity Risk Management Program (Unaudited)
The Funds have adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “program”) as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has designated the Funds’ investment adviser, Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc., dba Schwab Asset Management, as the administrator of the program. Personnel of the investment adviser or its affiliates conduct the day-to-day operation of the program.
Under the program, the investment adviser manages a Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet shareholder redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining shareholders’ interests in the Fund. The program is reasonably designed to assess and manage a Fund’s liquidity risk, taking into consideration the Fund’s investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; its historical redemption history and shareholder concentrations; and its cash holdings and access to other funding sources, including the custodian overdraft facility and lines of credit. The investment adviser’s process of determining the degree of liquidity of each Fund’s investments is supported by third-party liquidity assessment vendors.
The Funds’ Board reviewed a report at its meeting held on September 20, 2021 prepared by the investment adviser regarding the operation and effectiveness of the program for the period June 1, 2020, through May 31, 2021, which included individual Fund liquidity risk metrics. No significant liquidity events impacting any of the Funds were noted in the report. In addition, the investment adviser provided its assessment that the program had been operating effectively in managing each Fund’s liquidity risk.

authorized participant (AP) A large institutional investor that places orders for creation units with the funds’ distributor.
beta A historical measure of an investment’s volatility relative to a market index (usually the S&P 500®). The index is defined as having a beta of 1.00. Investments with a beta higher than 1.00 have been more volatile than the index; those with a beta of less than 1.00 have been less volatile.

Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index An index that is a broad-based benchmark measuring the performance of the U.S. investment grade, taxable bond market, including U.S. Treasuries, government-related and corporate bonds, mortgage pass-through securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and asset-backed securities that are publicly available for sale in the United States. To be eligible for inclusion in the index, securities must be fixed rate, non-convertible, U.S. dollar-denominated with at least $300 million or more of outstanding face value and have one or more years remaining to maturity. The index excludes certain types of securities, including tax-exempt state and local government series bonds, structured notes embedded with swaps or other special features, private placements, floating rate securities, inflation-linked bonds and Eurobonds.

commencement of operations The date that the first NAV was calculated.
creation unit (C.U.) A basket of securities that is delivered by an authorized participant (AP) to the fund equal to the current holdings of the ETF, plus a designated cash component. In return, the APs receive a large block of ETF shares (typically 50,000 shares), which investors can then buy and sell in the secondary market.

median market cap The midpoint of the range of market caps of the stocks held by a fund. There are different ways of calculating median market cap. With a simple median, half of the stocks in the fund’s portfolio would be larger than the median, and half would be smaller. With a weighted median (the type that is calculated for these funds), half of the fund’s assets are invested in stocks that are larger than the median market cap, and half in stocks that are smaller.
MSCI EAFE Index (Net) A free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets in Europe, Australasia, and the Far East. The Net version of the index reflects reinvested dividends net of withholding taxes, but reflects no deductions for expenses or other taxes; returns are calculated applying dividend withholding rates applicable to non-resident persons who do not benefit from double taxation treaties.
MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net) A free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure equity market performance in the global emerging markets. This series approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment.

open The price at which a security opened for trading on a given day.
outstanding shares, shares outstanding When speaking of the fund, indicates all shares currently held by investors.

primary market The market that deals with the issuance of new securities.
rights and warrants Rights and warrants are types of securities that entitle the holder to purchase a proportionate amount of common stock at a specified price for a specific period of time. Rights allow a shareholder to buy more shares directly from the company, usually at a price somewhat lower than the current market price of the outstanding shares. Warrants are usually issued with bonds and preferred stock. Rights and warrants can trade on the market separately from the company’s stock. The prices of rights and warrants do not necessarily move parallel to the prices of the underlying common stock. Rights usually expire within a few weeks of issuance, while warrants may not expire for several years. If a right or warrant is not exercised within the specified time period, it will become worthless and a fund will lose the purchase price it paid for the right or warrant and the right to purchase the underlying security.

The Schwab Ariel ESG ETF is different from traditional ETFs. Traditional ETFs tell the public what assets they hold each day. This fund will not. This may create additional risks for your investment. For example:
| • | You may have to pay more money to trade the fund’s shares. This fund will provide less information to traders, who tend to charge more for trades when they have less information. |
| • | The price you pay to buy fund shares on an exchange may not match the value of the fund’s portfolio. The same is true when you sell shares. These price differences may be greater for this fund compared to other ETFs because it provides less information to traders. |
| • | These additional risks may be even greater in bad or uncertain market conditions. |
| • | The ETF will publish on its website each day a “Proxy Portfolio” designed to help trading in shares of the ETF. While the Proxy Portfolio includes some of the ETF’s holdings, it is not the ETF’s actual portfolio. |
The differences between this fund and other ETFs may also have advantages. By keeping certain information about the fund secret, this fund may face less risk that other traders can predict or copy its investment strategy. This may improve the fund’s performance. If other traders are able to copy or predict the fund’s investment strategy, however, this may hurt the fund’s performance.
For additional information regarding the unique attributes and risks of the fund, see Proxy Portfolio Risk, Premium/Discount Risk, Trading Halt Risk, Authorized Participant Concentration Risk, Tracking Error Risk and Shares of the Fund May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV in the Principal Risks and Proxy Portfolio and Proxy Overlap sections of the prospectus and/or the Statement of Additional Information. These risks are discussed on the next page.
Schwab Fundamental Index ETFs
Active semi-transparent ETFs operate differently from other exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Unlike other ETFs, an active semi-transparent ETF does not publicly disclose its entire portfolio composition each business day, which may affect the price at which shares of the ETF trade in the secondary market. Active semi-transparent ETFs have limited public trading history. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop, be maintained or operate as intended. There is a risk that the market price of an active semi-transparent ETF may vary significantly from the ETF’s net asset value and that its shares may trade at a wider bid/ask spread and, therefore, cost investors more to trade than shares of other ETFs. These risks are heightened during periods of market disruption or volatility.
Proxy Portfolio Risk: Unlike traditional ETFs, this fund does not disclose its portfolio holdings (Actual Portfolio) daily. The fund instead posts a Proxy Portfolio on its website each day. The Proxy Portfolio is designed to reflect the economic exposures and risk characteristics of the fund’s actual holdings on each trading day, but it is not the same as the fund’s Actual Portfolio. Although the Proxy Portfolio is intended to provide investors with enough information to allow for an effective arbitrage mechanism that will keep the market price of the Fund at or close to the underlying NAV per Share of the Fund, there is a risk (which may increase during periods of market disruption or volatility) that market prices will vary significantly from the underlying NAV of the fund. ETF trading on the basis of a published Proxy Portfolio may trade at a wider bid/ask spread than ETFs that publish their portfolios on a daily basis, especially during periods of market disruption or volatility, and therefore may cost investors more to trade. Also, while the Fund seeks to benefit from keeping its portfolio information secret, market participants may attempt to use the Proxy Portfolio to identify a Fund’s trading strategy, which if successful, could result in such market participants engaging in certain predatory trading practices that may have the potential to harm the Fund and its shareholders.
Proxy Portfolio Construction: The Proxy Portfolio is designed to recreate the daily performance of the Actual Portfolio. This is achieved by performing a “Factor Model” analysis of the Actual Portfolio. The Factor Model is comprised of three sets of factors or analytical metrics: market-based factors, fundamental factors, and industry/sector factors. The fund uses a “Model Universe” to generate its Proxy Portfolio. The Model Universe is comprised of securities that the fund can purchase and will be a financial index or stated portfolio of securities from which fund investments will be selected. The results of the Factor Model analysis are then applied to the Model Universe. The Proxy Portfolio is then generated as a result of this Model Universe analysis with the Proxy Portfolio being a small sub-set of the Model Universe. The Factor Model is applied to both the Actual Portfolio and the Model Universe to construct the fund’s Proxy Portfolio that performs in a manner substantially identical to the performance of its Actual Portfolio.
The Proxy Portfolio will only include investments the fund is permitted to hold. The fund’s SAI contains more information on the Proxy Portfolio and its construction. Proxy Portfolio and Proxy Overlap Information regarding the contents of the Proxy Portfolio, and the percentage weight overlap between the holdings of the Proxy Portfolio and a Fund’s Actual Portfolio holdings that formed the basis for its calculation of NAV at the end of the prior Business Day (the Portfolio Overlap), is available by visiting the fund’s website www.schwabassetmanagement.com.
Because environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategies exclude some securities, ESG-focused products may not be able to take advantage of the same opportunities or market trends as products that do not use such strategies. Additionally, the criteria used to select companies for investment may result in investing in securities, industries or sectors that underperform the market as a whole.
