All fund and index figures on this page assume dividends and distributions were reinvested. Index figures do not include trading and management costs, which would lower performance. Indices are unmanaged, and you cannot invest in them directly. Performance results less than one year are not annualized. Performance data quoted does not reflect the non-recurring redemption fee of 2% that may be charged if shares are sold or exchanged within 30 days of the purchase date. If these fees were reflected, the performance data quoted would be lower.

Fund expenses may have been partially absorbed by CSIM. Without these reductions, the funds’ returns would have been lower. These returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

There are risks associated with investing in securities of foreign issuers, such as erratic market conditions, economic and political instability, fluctuations in currency and exchange rates, and an increased risk of price volatility associated with less uniformity in accounting and reporting requirements. Investing in emerging markets accentuates these risks. Investments in emerging markets may be more likely to experience political turmoil or rapid changes in market or economic conditions than more developed countries.

Bond funds are subject to increased risk of loss of principal during periods of volatile interest rates. When interest rates rise, bond prices fall which may impact the value of a bond fund’s shares.

Please see prospectus for further detail and investor eligibility requirements.

4 Laudus Mondrian Funds

From the President

Marie Chandoha is President and CEO of Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. and the funds covered in this report.

Dear Shareholder,

As President and CEO of Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc., I’d like to thank you for trusting us to help you meet your investment goals, and for reading this important report concerning the Laudus Mondrian Funds. We formed the Laudus Fund family to provide shareholders with access to third-party managers with strong investment processes. Mondrian Investment Partners Limited is the subadviser for the funds, and is a London-based portfolio management company with experience in international investing since 1990.

For the 12 months ended March 31, 2013, the mixed performances of the funds reflected the value-oriented, defensive philosophy that Mondrian employs, as stocks rallied and bonds generated positive to narrowly negative returns. In an effort to stimulate faster economic growth, most central banks maintained policies aimed at keeping interest rates low. Stocks benefited from these policies and from eased concerns about the euro zone’s sovereign debt crisis and U.S. fiscal cliff. Stocks were also helped by some signs of improvement in the U.S. economy. Continued low interest rates generally dampened returns for fixed income securities.

U.S. bonds outperformed the overall returns of international bonds in U.S. dollar terms, while among international stocks, developed markets generated higher overall returns than emerging markets. The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 3.8%, compared with the -2.2% return of the Citigroup Non-U.S. Dollar World Government Bond Index. In the stock market, the MSCI EAFE Index (Net) returned 11.3%, outperforming the 2.0% return of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net). The depreciation of currencies in countries and regions such as Japan, the U.K., the euro zone, Brazil, and India versus the U.S. dollar played a role in these returns, reducing the performance of overseas investments in U.S. dollar terms.

Sincerely,

Indices are unmanaged, do not incur management fees, costs and expenses, and cannot be invested in directly. Index figures assume dividends and distributions were reinvested.

Laudus Mondrian Funds 5

Laudus Mondrian International Equity Fund

The Laudus Mondrian International Equity Fund (the fund) seeks long-term capital appreciation. Under normal circumstances, the fund invests primarily in common stocks of non-U.S. large-capitalization issuers, including the securities of emerging market companies, that, in the subadviser’s opinion, are undervalued at the time of purchase based on fundamental value analysis. For more information concerning the fund’s investment objective, strategies, and risks, please see the prospectus.

The fund’s Investor Shares returned 6.79% for the 12 months ended March 31, 2013. For performance comparisons, the fund uses the MSCI EAFE Index (Net) (the index), which returned 11.25%.

Market Highlights. International stocks performed well, with many overseas markets overcoming lackluster global economic growth and rallying from previously depressed levels. Aggressive measures by the European Central Bank to aid the euro zone’s banking system and progress by European legislators toward resolving the region’s sovereign debt crisis helped, easing investor concerns. In addition, many central banks maintained policies aimed at keeping interest rates low to stimulate economic growth, providing a favorable backdrop for equities. Within the index, Belgian stocks returned approximately 28% in U.S. dollar terms, outperforming other markets, while stock markets in New Zealand, Switzerland, and Australia also performed well, returning more than 20%. Italian stocks were some of the worst performers, returning approximately -7%.

In this environment, foreign currencies generally depreciated versus the U.S. dollar, reducing the returns of international stocks in U.S. dollar terms. Better performing currencies included the New Zealand dollar and Swedish krona, which appreciated by approximately 2%. Underperforming currencies included Japan’s yen, which returned approximately -12%, and the British pound, which returned approximately -5%. In addition, the euro returned approximately -4% versus the U.S. dollar, reducing the returns of the region’s stocks in U.S. dollar terms.

Positioning and Strategies. The fund’s stock selections generated disappointing results for the 12 months, with German holdings providing an example. The fund’s German securities returned approximately -13% in U.S. dollar terms, compared with the approximately 9% return of German equities in the index. RWE AG—a company that generates, distributes, and trades electricity—represented a significant detractor among German securities. The fund’s shares of RWE AG returned -17%, and represented an overweight position compared with the index. As a result, this position subtracted more from the fund’s relative performance than any other single position.

Stock choices in France also produced subpar results. French stocks in the index returned approximately 10% in U.S. dollar terms, while the fund’s holdings returned approximately 5%. France Telecom SA—a company that provides telecommunications services—represented a significant detractor for the fund in this market. The fund’s holdings of France Telecom SA returned approximately -22% for the report period.

Stock selection in Taiwan worked out more favorably. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing markets and manufactures integrated circuits, and holdings of the company returned approximately 21% for the fund during the report period. These securities were not part of the index, and contributed more to the fund’s relative performance than any other single position.

Other strategies used by the investment adviser included buying forward currency contracts. The notional value of these contracts ranged from 3% to 4% of the fund’s net assets and detracted slightly from the fund’s relative performance.

8 Laudus Mondrian Funds

Laudus Mondrian Emerging Markets Fund

The Laudus Mondrian Emerging Markets Fund (the fund) seeks long-term capital appreciation. Under normal circumstances, the fund invests primarily in common stocks of large-capitalization emerging market companies, that, in the subadviser’s opinion, are undervalued at the time of purchase based on fundamental analysis. For more information concerning the fund’s investment objective, strategies, and risks, please see the prospectus.

The fund’s Investor Shares returned 5.79% for the 12 months ended March 31, 2013. For performance comparisons, the fund uses the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net) (the index), which returned 1.96%.

Market Highlights. Emerging market stocks generated modest returns as global economic activity remained generally lackluster, and as the markets attempted to bounce back from sharp losses early in the report period. Reduced investor concerns regarding the euro zone’s sovereign debt crisis helped equities, as did the appearance of economic improvement in the U.S.

However, signs of slowing economic growth in Brazil, India, and China—three of the four “BRIC” countries—early in 2013 weighed on the performance of emerging market stocks. Stock markets in Turkey and the Philippines solidly outperformed other emerging markets, with each returning more than 40% in U.S. dollar terms for the 12-month report period. Brazilian stocks were some of the worst performers, returning approximately -13% in U.S. dollar terms and underperforming stocks from China, India, and Russia, which generated overall returns that ranged from approximately 8% to -7%.

In this environment, emerging market currencies generally depreciated versus the U.S. dollar, reducing stock returns in U.S. dollar terms. Better performing currencies included the Philippine peso and Thailand’s baht, each of which appreciated by approximately 5%. Underperforming currencies included South Africa’s rand, the Argentine peso, and Brazil’s real, each of which depreciated approximately 10% or more versus the U.S. dollar.

Positioning and Strategies. The fund remained invested in stocks that Mondrian believed offered attractive valuations and good protection from potentially challenging conditions. For the 12-month report period, these strategies resulted in stock selection and country weightings for the fund that generated mixed results, but generally helped performance.

Stock choices in Hong Kong worked out particularly well, with the fund’s Hong Kong holdings returning more than 30% in U.S. dollar terms, while those in the index returned only 5%. Shares of Sands China Ltd.—developer, owner, and operator of casinos and resorts—significantly contributed to the fund’s performance in this market. Careful stock selection among markets in Peru, the Republic of Korea, and India supported the fund’s performance compared with the index as well. Stocks from Peru returned approximately 28% for the fund in U.S. dollar terms, while returning -3% for the index. Among Republic of Korea holdings, the fund’s securities returned approximately 12%, while those in the index returned approximately 2%. Investments in India also played a positive role, returning approximately 8% for the fund but only 2% for the index.

However, stock selection in Russia and Taiwan generated disappointing results, with the fund’s holdings underperforming those of the index and weighing on the fund’s relative performance. The fund’s holdings of Gazprom OAO—a company involved with gas exploration and production—significantly detracted from relative performance among Russian securities, returning -31%. Among stocks from Taiwan, the fund’s shares of HTC Corporation—a firm that markets and manufactures smartphones—significantly underperformed, returning -55%.

The fund’s country weightings generated mixed results. The fund maintained an overweight in Brazilian stocks, which worked against the fund’s performance versus the index as these securities generated negative returns, due in part to the sharp depreciation of the real versus the U.S. dollar. By comparison, the fund’s greater exposure to markets in Turkey, the Philippines, the U.K., and Indonesia enhanced performance compared with the index, as the fund’s holdings in each of these markets returned more than 20% in U.S. dollar terms.

Laudus Mondrian Funds 11

Laudus Mondrian International Fixed Income Fund

The Laudus Mondrian International Fixed Income Fund (the fund) seeks long-term total return consistent with its value-oriented investment approach. The fund invests primarily in fixed income securities that may also provide the potential for capital appreciation, and in issuers that are organized, have a majority of their assets, or derive most of their operating income outside of the U.S. As such, the fund may invest in securities issued in any currency and may hold foreign currency. For more information concerning the fund’s objectives, strategy, and risks, please see the prospectus.

The fund returned -3.41% for the 12 months ended March 31, 2013. For performance comparisons, the fund uses the Citigroup non-U.S. Dollar World Government Bond Index (the index), which returned -2.16%.

Market Highlights. International bonds generated modestly negative overall returns for the 12-month report period. This performance reflected the combination of historically low yields on fixed income securities and the general depreciation of many overseas currencies versus the U.S. dollar. Lackluster economic growth continued throughout much of the globe, prompting many central banks to maintain policies designed to keep interest rates low. In turn, this slow-growth, low interest rate backdrop was reflected in the yields and performance of fixed income securities.

Bond markets in Mexico and Poland generated strong returns in this environment, while the pace of inflation generally slowed in both countries. Yields on government bonds from Mexico fell by approximately a full percentage point, helping these securities return approximately 19% in U.S. dollar terms. Yields on government bonds from Poland declined as well, helping Polish bonds return approximately 7% in U.S. dollar terms. Euro zone bonds also provided positive overall returns, while yields on fixed income securities from countries such as Austria, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain declined. Bonds from Japan underperformed most markets, with Japanese fixed income securities returning approximately -9% in U.S. dollar terms, as the yen depreciated sharply versus the U.S. dollar.

Many world currencies fell in value versus the U.S. dollar over the 12 months, reducing international bond returns in U.S. dollar terms. Currencies that enhanced local bond market returns by appreciating versus the U.S. dollar included the Mexican peso and Swedish krona. Underperforming currencies that reduced returns by depreciating versus the U.S. dollar included Japan’s yen, the euro, and the British pound.

Positioning and Strategies. The fund’s strategic positioning versus the index generated mixed results. One of the biggest detractors for the fund was exposure to Japan’s currency. With the yen depreciating sharply versus the U.S. dollar, the returns of Japanese bonds were disappointing in U.S. dollar terms. A smaller exposure to euro zone bonds compared with the index also detracted from the fund’s results, as yields on these securities generally fell and returns were relatively solid.

Positions that enhanced the fund’s performance compared with the index included a greater exposure to bonds from Poland and Mexico, two fixed income markets that performed well over the period. An overweight in bonds from Sweden, which performed well, also helped.

Other strategies used by the investment adviser included buying forward currency contracts. The notional value of these currency contracts ranged from 4% to 8% of the fund’s net assets and had little overall effect on the fund’s relative performance.

14 Laudus Mondrian Funds

Laudus Mondrian Global Fixed Income Fund

The Laudus Mondrian Global Fixed Income Fund (the fund) seeks long-term total return consistent with its value-oriented investment approach. The fund invests primarily in fixed income securities that may also provide the potential for capital appreciation, while investing in issuers located throughout the world, including emerging markets. As such, the fund may invest in securities issued in any currency and may hold foreign currency. For more information concerning the fund’s objectives, strategy, and risks, please see the prospectus.

For the period from the fund’s inception on July 10, 2012, through March 31, 2013, the fund returned -2.95%. By comparison, the Citigroup World Government Bond Index returned -1.33%.

Market Highlights. Bonds in developed markets and emerging markets around the globe generated mixed overall returns in U.S. dollar terms for the shortened report period, and currency fluctuations factored into these performances. Currencies from Japan and the U.K. depreciated versus the U.S. dollar, reducing the returns of fixed income securities from these markets in U.S. dollar terms, while the currencies of most other countries appreciated and enhanced local bond market returns. Economic growth throughout the world was generally lackluster, prompting many central banks to maintain policies aimed at keeping interest rates low to stimulate faster economic activity, which anchored yields on fixed income securities.

Among developed markets, bonds from the euro zone were some of the better performers. For example, Spanish bonds returned approximately 21% for the period in U.S. dollar terms, while Italian bonds returned approximately 18%. In other markets, bonds from Sweden returned approximately 6%, while U.S. bond returns were essentially flat. By comparison, Japanese bonds generated some of the weakest performances among developed bond markets, returning -13% as the yen depreciated sharply versus the U.S. dollar.

Bonds from the Philippines were the strongest performers among emerging markets, returning approximately 25% in U.S. dollar terms. Bonds from Russia and Poland also performed well, returning approximately 16% and 15%, respectively. However, not all emerging bond markets generated such noteworthy returns, with a modestly negative performance by bonds from South Africa—which returned -3%—serving as an example.

Positioning and Strategies. One of the biggest detractors from the fund’s performance was its exposure to Japan’s currency. With the yen depreciating sharply versus the U.S. dollar, particularly late in 2012 and early in 2013, the returns of Japanese bonds were negative in U.S. dollar terms. A small exposure to euro zone fixed income securities also detracted from performance, as the fund’s limited holdings of securities in this region prevented it from more greatly capturing the benefits of generally falling bond yields and rising prices. Strategies that enhanced the fund’s performance among developed bond markets included exposure to bonds from Sweden and Australia, which performed well.

Among emerging bond markets, a lack of securities from Russia was one of the biggest detractors from the fund’s performance compared with the index, which included Russian bonds. Holdings of fixed income securities from India also reduced the fund’s performance relative to the index. However, the fund’s holdings of fixed income securities from Brazil and Hungary generally helped the fund’s performance.

Other strategies used by the investment adviser included buying forward currency contracts. The notional value of these currency contracts ranged from 7% to 14% of the fund’s net assets and had little overall effect on the fund’s performance.

Fund Expenses (Unaudited)

Examples for a $1,000 Investment

As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: transaction costs, such as redemption fees; and, ongoing costs, such as management fees, transfer agent and shareholder services fees, and other fund expenses.

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 the period beginning October 1, 2012 and held through March 31, 2013.

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 or share class 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 or share class’ 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, such as redemption fees. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Laudus Mondrian Funds

Financial Notes

1. Business Structure of the Funds:

Each of the Laudus Mondrian Funds in this report is a series of Laudus Trust, (the “trust”) a no-load, open-end management investment company. The trust is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The list below shows all the funds in the trust as of the end of the period, including the funds discussed in this report, which are highlighted:



Laudus Mondrian International Equity Fund
Laudus Mondrian Emerging Markets Fund
Laudus Mondrian International Fixed Income Fund
Laudus Mondrian Global Fixed Income Fund
Laudus Growth Investors U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund

Each fund, with the exception of Laudus Mondrian International Fixed Income Fund and Laudus Mondrian Global Fixed Income Fund, offers three share classes: Investor Shares, Select Shares and Institutional Shares. Laudus Mondrian Global Fixed Income Fund commenced operations on July 10, 2012.

Each class of shares generally has identical rights and preferences, except that each class is subject to different eligibility conditions, bears different distribution and sub-transfer agent expenses, and separate voting rights on matters pertaining solely to that class of shares.

Shares are bought and sold (subject to a redemption fee, see financial note 10) at closing net asset value per share (“NAV”), which is the price for all outstanding shares of the funds.

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 accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

(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 market 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.

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: valued at the closing value for the day, or, on days when no closing value has been reported, at halfway between 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.

	•	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. The Board convenes on a regular basis to review fair value determinations made by the funds pursuant to the valuation procedures.

Laudus Mondrian Funds

Financial Notes (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):


	•	Bonds and notes: valued at halfway between the most recent bid and asked quotes or, if such quotes are unavailable, at prices for securities of comparable maturity, credit quality and type. Valuations for bonds and notes are provided by independent bond-pricing services.

	•	International fair valuation: The Board has adopted procedures to fair value foreign equity securities that are traded in markets that close prior to the funds valuing their holdings. By fair valuing securities whose prices may have been affected by events occurring after the close of trading, each fund seeks to establish prices that investors might expect to realize upon the current sales of these securities. This methodology is designed to deter “arbitrage” market timers, who seek to exploit delays between the change in the value of a fund’s portfolio holdings and the net asset value of the fund’s shares, and seeks to help ensure that the prices at which the fund’s shares are purchased and redeemed are fair and do not result in dilution of shareholder interest or other harm to shareholders. When fair value pricing is used at the open or close of a reporting period, it may cause a temporary divergence between the return of a fund and that of its comparative index or benchmark. Each fund makes fair value determinations in good faith in accordance with the fund’s valuation procedures. 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 regularly reviews fair value determinations made by the funds pursuant to the valuation procedures.

	•	Forward foreign currency exchange contracts: valued at a value based on that day’s forward exchange rates.

	•	Short-term securities (60 days or less to maturity): valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

	•	Underlying funds: mutual funds are valued at their respective net asset values.

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 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. Investments in mutual funds are valued daily at their NAV’s, which are classified as Level 1 prices.

	•	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. In addition, international securities whose markets close hours before the funds value their holdings may require fair valuations due to significant movement in the U.S. markets occurring after the daily close of the foreign markets. The Board has approved a vendor that calculates fair valuations of international equity securities based on a number of factors that appear to correlate to the movements in the U.S. markets. As investments whose values are classified as Level 2 prices include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information.

	•	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

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):


		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 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 March 31, 2013 are disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings.

(b) Accounting Policies for certain Portfolio Investments (if held):

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: “Forwards”, as they are known, are contracts to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The value of the forwards is accounted for as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts settle, at which time the gains or losses are realized.

(c) Security Transactions:

Security transactions are recorded as of the date the order to buy or sell the security is executed. Realized gains or 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 differences 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 gains or losses arise 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 forwards 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. If a fund buys a debt security at a discount (less than face value) or a premium (more than face value), it amortizes premiums and accretes discounts from the current date up to maturity. The fund then increases (in the case of discounts) or reduces (in the case of premiums) the income it records from the security. If the security is callable (meaning that the issuer has the option to pay it off before its maturity date), then the fund amortizes the premium to the security’s call date and price, rather than the maturity date and price. Dividends 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 day they learn of the ex-dividend date.

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

Laudus Mondrian Funds

Financial Notes (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

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.

(e) Expenses:

Expenses that are specific to a fund are charged directly to the fund. Expenses that are common to all funds within the trust generally are allocated among the funds in proportion to their average daily net assets.

For funds offering multiple share classes, the net investment income, other than class specific expenses, and the realized and unrealized gains or losses, are allocated daily to each class in proportion to their average daily net assets.

(f) Distributions to Shareholders:

The funds declare distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, once a year with the exception of Laudus Mondrian International Fixed Income Fund and Laudus Mondrian Global Fixed Income Fund which declare quarterly dividends.

(g) Custody Credit:

The funds have an arrangement with their custodian bank, State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), under which the funds may receive a credit for their uninvested cash balance to offset their custody fees and accounting fees. The credit amounts, if any, are disclosed in the Statement of Operations as a reduction to the funds’ operating expenses.

(h) 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.

(i) Federal Income Taxes:

The funds intend to meet federal income and excise tax requirements for regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the funds distribute substantially all of their net investment income and realized net 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.

(j) 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 payable as of March 31, 2013, if any, are reflected in the funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

(k) 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.

(l) New Accounting Pronouncements:

In December 2011, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities,” was issued and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after January 1, 2013. The ASU enhances disclosure requirements with respect to an entity’s rights of offset and related arrangements associated with its financial and derivative

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

instruments. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU No. 2011-11 may have on the funds’ financial statement disclosures.

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.

Stock and bond markets rise and fall daily. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of your investment in the fund will fluctuate, which means that the investors could lose money.

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.

Large-cap stocks tend to go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. During a period when large-cap stocks fall behind other types of investments — mid- or small-cap stocks, for instance — a fund’s large-cap holdings could reduce performance.

A fund’s investments in securities of foreign issuers may involve certain risks that are 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); differing accounting, auditing, financial reporting and legal standards and practices; differing securities market structures; and higher transaction costs. These risks may be heightened in connection with investments in emerging markets.

Emerging markets may be more likely to experience political turmoil or rapid changes in market or economic conditions than more developed countries. Such countries often have less uniformity in accounting and reporting 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 other countries. As a result, there will tend to be an increased risk of price volatility associated with the fund’s investments in emerging market countries.

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 and could cause the fund to lose more than the principal amount invested. In addition, investments in derivatives may involve leverage, which means a small percentage of assets invested in derivatives can have a disproportionately large impact on a fund.

Interest rates rise and fall over time, which will affect a fund’s yield and share price. The credit quality of a portfolio investment could also cause the fund’s share price to fall. A fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a portfolio investment or the counterparty to a derivatives contract fails to make timely principal or interest payments or otherwise honor its obligations. Fixed income securities may be paid off earlier or later than expected. Either situation could cause the fund to hold securities paying lower than market rates of interest, which could hurt the fund’s yield or share price. Below investment-grade bonds (junk bonds) involve greater credit risk, are more volatile, involve greater risk of price declines and may be more susceptible to economic downturns than investment-grade securities.

Please refer to the funds’ prospectus for a more complete description of the principal risks of investing in the funds.

4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions:

Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (“CSIM” or the “investment adviser”), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Charles Schwab Corporation, serves as each fund’s investment adviser pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement (“Advisory Agreement”) between CSIM and the trust. Mondrian Investment Partners Limited (“Mondrian”), the funds’ sub-adviser, provides day-to-day portfolio management services to the funds, subject to the supervision of CSIM.

Laudus Mondrian Funds

Financial Notes (continued)

4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions (continued):

For its advisory services to the following funds, CSIM is entitled to receive an annual fee, payable monthly, based on a percentage of each fund’s average daily net assets described as follows:


	First $1 billion		Over $1 billion

Laudus Mondrian International Equity Fund		0.85%		0.80%
Laudus Mondrian Emerging Markets Fund		1.20%		1.15%
Laudus Mondrian International Fixed Income Fund		0.60%		0.60%
Laudus Mondrian Global Fixed Income Fund		0.68%		0.68%

CSIM (not the funds) pays a portion of the management fees it receives to Mondrian in return for its services.

CSIM has contractually agreed, until at least July 30, 2014, to waive a portion of its management fee and bear certain expenses of each fund. As such, CSIM further agrees to reimburse the funds to limit the annual expenses, exclusive of nonrecurring account fees, fees on securities transactions such as exchange fees, dividends and interest on securities sold short, service fees, interest (overdraft charges), taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with GAAP, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the funds’ business as follows:


	Laudus Mondrian		Laudus Mondrian
	International		Emerging
	Equity Fund		Markets Fund

Investor Shares		1.40%		1.80%
Select Shares		1.12%		1.52%
Institutional Shares		1.05%		1.45%

In addition to the funds listed above, CSIM has contractually agreed, until at least July 30, 2014 to limit the annual expenses of the Laudus Mondrian International Fixed Income Fund and the Laudus Mondrian Global Fixed Income Fund to 0.75% and 0.85%, respectively.

For the period July 11, 2012 through January 10, 2013, CSIM voluntarily agreed to limit the Laudus Mondrian Global Fixed Income Fund’s net operating expenses to 0.00%.

Any amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular fiscal year will be subject to repayment through the next two fiscal years, to the extent that the repayment will not cause the funds’ net expenses to exceed the limit (as stated in CSIM’s contractual undertaking) during the respective year. For the period ended March 31, 2013, there were no prior year amounts recouped. As of March 31, 2013, the balance of recoupable expenses and the respective years of expiration are as follows:

5. Distribution and Shareholders Services:

The trust has a Distribution and Shareholder Service Plan with respect to its Investor Shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Investor Shares of the funds are sold on a continuous basis by the trust’s distributor, ALPS Distributors, Inc. Under the Distribution and Shareholder Services Plan, the funds pay distribution and shareholder servicing fees in connection with the sale and servicing of the Investor Shares. The annual Distribution and Shareholder Service Fee consists of up to 0.25% of the respective average daily net assets of the Investor Shares. In addition, the trustees have authorized each fund to reimburse, out of the Investor and Select Shares assets of the funds, financial intermediaries that provide sub-accounting and sub-transfer agency services in connection with Investor or Select Class shares an amount of up to 0.15% of the average daily net assets of

that class on an annual basis. Further, the trustees have authorized the Laudus Mondrian Global Fixed Income Fund to reimburse, out of the assets of the fund, financial intermediaries that provide sub-accounting and sub-transfer agency services in connection with the fund’s shares in an amount of up to 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the fund on an annual basis.

6. Board of Trustees:

The Trust’s Board of Trustees oversees the general conduct of the trust and the funds.

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 did not pay any of these interested persons for their services as trustees, but it did pay non-interested persons (independent trustees), as noted in each fund’s Statement of Operations. For information regarding the trustees please refer to Trustees and Officers table at the end of this report.

Until September 2006, a Retirement Plan existed for the independent trustees. After the Retirement Plan closed to new independent trustees, the previously accrued and unpaid benefits continue to be adjusted by performance of the funds. As a result, the amount of the retirement benefits payable to certain independent trustees may increase or decrease based on the performance of the funds.

7. Borrowing from Banks:

The funds have access to custodian overdraft facilities and to an uncommitted line of credit of $100 million with State Street. The funds pay interest on the amounts they borrow at rates that are negotiated periodically.

There were no borrowings from the lines of credit by the funds during the period. However, the funds may have utilized their overdraft facility and incurred interest expense, which is disclosed on the Statement of Operations, if any. The interest expense is determined based on a negotiated rate above the current Federal Funds Rate.

8. Purchases and Sales/Maturities of Investment Securities:

For the period ended March 31, 2013, purchases and sales/maturities of securities (excluding short-term obligations) were as follows:


	Purchases of Securities			Sales/Maturities of Securities

Laudus Mondrian International Equity Fund		$36,946,463			$35,949,089
Laudus Mondrian Emerging Markets Fund		89,982,359			88,034,089
Laudus Mondrian International Fixed Income Fund		371,835,776			462,989,693
Laudus Mondrian Global Fixed Income Fund		58,443,017	*		28,008,641	*


*		Includes Purchases of Securities of $14,440,558 and Sales/Maturities of Securities of $6,770,737 of long-term U.S. Government securities.

9. Derivatives:

The funds invested in forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“forwards”) during the report period. The funds invested in forwards to hedge part of the funds’ exposure to currencies that were deemed to be overvalued by the sub-adviser. Refer to financial note 2(b) for the funds’ accounting policies with respect to forwards and financial note 3 for disclosures concerning the risks of investing in forwards. During the period, the month-end average forward foreign currency notional amount and the month-end average unrealized gains (losses) were as follows:


	Forward Foreign Currency		Net Unrealized
	Notional Contracts		Gains (Losses)

Laudus Mondrian International Equity Fund		$4,860,904		$15,810

Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation)		$9,727,170			$17,238,889			($14,279,500	)		($709,922	)

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 the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains on investments in Passive Foreign Investment Companies (PFIC).

Capital loss carryforwards may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. As of March 31, 2013, the following funds had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future net capital gains before the expiration dates:

* As a result of the passage of the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred after December 31, 2010 may now be carried forward indefinitely, but must retain the character of the original loss. However, such losses must be utilized prior to the pre-enactment capital losses, which may increase the likelihood that the pre-enactment capital losses may expire unused. Under pre-enactment law, capital losses could be carried forward for eight years, and carried forward as short-term capital loss, irrespective of the character of the original loss.

For tax purposes, realized net capital losses and late-year ordinary losses incurred after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. For the year ended March 31, 2013, the funds had deferred realized capital losses and late-year ordinary losses as follows:

Return of capital		—		—		—		—

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 are due primarily to differing treatment for items such as non-U.S. currency gains and losses, short-term capital gains and losses, capital losses related to wash sales, deferred trustee retirement plan fees and unrealized appreciation of certain investments in non-U.S. securities. The fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the net investment income and net realized gains are recorded by the funds for financial reporting purposes. The funds 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 March 31, 2013, the funds made the following reclassifications:


	Laudus Mondrian			Laudus Mondrian			Laudus Mondrian			Laudus Mondrian
	International			Emerging			International Fixed			Global Fixed
	Equity Fund			Markets Fund			Income Fund			Income Fund

Capital shares		$—			$—			$—			$—

Net realized capital gains/(losses)		134,510			87,529			23,633,123			929,315

As of March 31, 2013, management has reviewed the tax positions for open periods (for federal purposes, three years from the date of filing and state purpose, 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 statement. The funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period ended March 31, 2013, the funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

12. Subsequent Events:

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.

Laudus Mondrian International Fixed Income Fund

Laudus Mondrian Global Fixed Income Fund

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio holdings, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Laudus Mondrian International Equity Fund, Laudus Mondrian Emerging Markets Fund, Laudus Mondrian International Fixed Income Fund and Laudus Mondrian Global Fixed Income Fund (four of the portfolios constituting Laudus Trust, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at March 31, 2013, the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at March 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Glossary

Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based benchmark that measures the investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, mortgage-back securities (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM passthroughs), asset-backed securities, and commercial mortgage-backed securities.

Bond is a security representing a loan from the investor to the issuer. A bond typically pays interest at a fixed rate (the “coupon rate”) until a specified date (the “maturity date”), at which time the issuer returns the money borrowed (“principal” or “face value”) to the bondholder. Because of their structure, bonds are sometimes called “fixed income securities” or “debt securities.”

An individual bond is subject to the credit risk of the issuer. Bond credit ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Changes in interest rates can affect a bond’s market value prior to call or maturity. There is no guarantee that a bond’s yield to call or maturity will provide a positive return over the rate of inflation.

Citigroup non-U.S. Dollar World Government Bond Index measures the total rate of return performance for the government bonds of 23 countries, excluding the U.S., with a remaining maturity of at least one year.

Dividend yield is an expression of a stock’s market value in relationship to its dividend amount as a percentage. It is calculated by dividing the stock’s annual dividends by the market price of the stock.

Duration A measure of an individual bond’s sensitivity to interest rates. Calculations of duration generally take into account the bond’s yield, interest payments, maturity date and call features.

Weighted Average Duration A measure of the duration of all bonds in a fund’s portfolio, based on the market value weighted average duration of each bond in the portfolio.

Maturity The maturity of a bond will generally be determined using a portfolio security’s final maturity date (date on which the final principal payment of a bond is scheduled to be paid); however, for securitized products, such as mortgage-backed securities and certain other asset-backed securities, maturity will be determined on an average life basis (weighted average time to receipt of all principal payments) by the investment adviser. Because pre-payment rates of individual mortgage pools vary widely, the average life of a particular pool cannot be predicted precisely. For securities with embedded demand features, such as puts or calls, either the demand date or the final maturity date will be used depending on interest rates, yields and other market conditions. The average portfolio maturity of a fund is dollar-weighted based upon the market value of a fund’s securities at the time of the calculation.

MSCI EAFE Index^® (Net) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure market equity performance in 22 developed market countries, excluding the U.S. and Canada. This series approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment. The 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) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity market performance in the global emerging markets. This series approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment. The returns are calculated applying dividend withholding rates applicable to non-resident persons who do not benefit from double taxation treaties.

MSCI World^® Index (Net) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure global developed markets equity performance. This series approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment. The returns are calculated applying dividend withholding rates applicable to non-resident persons who do not benefit from double taxation treaties.

Price to earnings ratio is the price of a stock divided by its historical earnings per share.

Price to book ratio compares the stock’s market value to the value of the total assets less the total liabilities.

Russell 1000 Index an index that measures the performance of the large-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe.

S&P 500 Index is a market capitalization index that is designed to measure the performance of 500 leading publicly held companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy.

Sovereign debt refers to debt issued by a national government within a given country and denominated in a foreign currency.

Trading Activity is one of several risk factors commonly used to attribute a portfolio’s return relative to its benchmark.

4 Laudus Growth Investors U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund

From the President

Marie Chandoha is President and CEO of Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. and the fund covered in this report.

For the 12 months ended March 31, 2013, the return of the fund reflected a rally by U.S. stocks.

Dear Shareholder,

As President and CEO of Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc., I’d like to thank you for trusting us to help you meet your investment goals, and for reading this important report concerning the Laudus Growth Investors U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund. We formed the Laudus Fund family to provide shareholders with access to third-party managers with strong investment processes. The subadviser of this growth-oriented portfolio is UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc.

For the 12 months ended March 31, 2013, the return of the fund reflected a rally by U.S. stocks. In an effort to stimulate faster economic growth, the Federal Reserve maintained low short-term interest rates and programs aimed at holding down long-term interest rates. These efforts seemed to help as the housing market and other parts of the U.S. economy showed some encouraging signs of improvement. This backdrop and eased concerns regarding the fiscal cliff paved the way for stocks to generate impressive returns in the first quarter of 2013, as equities bounced back from a bumpy 2012.

For the report period, the fund returned 7.1%, underperforming the 10.1% return of the Russell 1000 Growth Index. In spite of these short-term results, the fund’s long-term performance remained noteworthy. Lipper* named the Laudus Growth Investors U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund as its “Best Large Cap Growth Fund over Ten Years” in March 2013. It should be noted that the fund has experienced changes in the portfolio management team at the subadviser, UBS, during the report period.** These changes are being carefully monitored by our subadviser oversight team.

For more information about the Laudus Growth Investors U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund, please continue reading this report. In addition, you can find answers to frequently asked questions and further details about this fund by visiting www.laudus.com. We are also happy to hear from you at 1-800-447-3332.

Sincerely,

Indices are unmanaged, do not incur management fees, costs and expenses, and cannot be invested in directly. Index figures assume dividends and distributions were reinvested.


*		The Lipper Fund Awards recognize funds that have excelled in delivering consistently strong risk adjusted performance, relative to peers. Lipper, a Thomson Reuters company, uses the Lipper Leader for Consistent Return methodology to designate award-winning funds in most individual classifications for the 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods. Lipper Rankings are based on average annual total returns. As of 3/31/2013, the Laudus Growth Investors U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund rankings within the Lipper Large Growth Funds category for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10- year periods were 386/702, 57/621, 41/553, and 4/377, respectively.

Laudus Growth Investors U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund 5

Laudus Growth Investors U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund

The Laudus Growth Investors U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund (the fund) seeks long-term capital appreciation. Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of U.S. large-capitalization companies. For more information concerning the fund’s objectives, strategy, and risks, please see the fund’s prospectus.

The fund returned 7.09% for the 12 months ended March 31, 2013. For performance comparisons, the fund uses the Russell 1000 Growth Index (the index), which returned 10.09%.

Market Highlights. U.S. stocks performed well, with many major indices finishing the 12-month report period at or near record highs. Signs of an improving housing market, an overall decline in the unemployment rate, and a partial avoidance of the fiscal cliff led to a strong performance by stocks late in 2012 and early in 2013. A backdrop of low interest rates that made financing more affordable for businesses and consumers, and eased concerns regarding the euro zone’s sovereign debt crisis, also helped equities. Health Care and Telecommunication Services stocks were some of the better performers in this environment, while Information Technology and Materials stocks underperformed by comparison.

Positioning and Strategies. Stock selection was the biggest detractor from the fund’s performance compared with the index. Stock choices within the Consumer Discretionary sector generated disappointing results. Companies in this sector produce goods and services that are considered nonessential, and include automobiles, clothing, household appliances, and media services. Among Consumer Discretionary holdings, Lululemon Athletica Inc.—a company that designs and retails athletic apparel—represented a significant detractor from the fund’s relative performance. Lululemon Athletica, Inc. was not part of the index during the 12-month report period, and the fund’s holdings of this company returned approximately -20%.

The results of stock selection in the Consumer Staples sector were also subpar. Consumer Staples companies provide goods that people are generally unable or unwilling to do without, including beverages, food, and household products such as detergent and soap. Monster Beverage Corporation—a company that markets and distributes energy drinks, fruit juices, and other beverages—represented a significant detractor in this sector. The fund’s holdings of Monster Beverage Corporation returned -33% for the report period, and when combined with the fund’s overweight in this company versus the index, subtracted from relative performance.

The Information Technology sector was another area where stock selection worked against the fund’s performance compared with the index. Information Technology companies are involved with computer software and services, hardware and equipment, and semiconductors. The fund was overweight in shares of Facebook Inc.—a company that operates a social networking website—compared with the index, and this position represented a significant detractor among Information Technology stocks. The fund’s holdings of Facebook Inc. returned -33%.

Stock choices in the Materials sector worked out far more favorably than in other sectors. Materials companies produce items such as chemicals, construction materials, and paper and forest products. The Sherwin-Williams Company—a firm that manufactures, distributes, and sells paint-related products—represented a significant contributor in this sector. The fund’s Sherwin-Williams Company holdings returned 57% for the report period, and when combined with the fund’s overweight in this company compared with the index, enhanced relative performance.

Fund Expenses (Unaudited)

Examples for a $1,000 Investment

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.

Laudus Growth Investors U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund

Financial Notes

1. Business Structure of the Funds:

Laudus Growth Investors U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund is a series of Laudus Trust, (the “trust”) a no-load, open-end management investment company. The trust is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The list below shows all the funds in the trust as of the end of the period, including the fund discussed in this report, which is highlighted:



Laudus Growth Investors U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund
Laudus Mondrian International Equity Fund
Laudus Mondrian Emerging Markets Fund
Laudus Mondrian International Fixed Income Fund
Laudus Mondrian Global Fixed Income Fund

The Laudus Growth Investors U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund offers one share class.

Shares are bought and sold (subject to a redemption fee, see financial note 9) at closing net asset value per share (“NAV”), which is the price for all outstanding shares of the fund. 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 accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

(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 market 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.

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: valued at the closing value for the day, or, on days when no closing value has been reported, at halfway between 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.

	•	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. The Board convenes on a regular basis to review fair value determinations made by the fund pursuant to the valuation procedures.

	•	Short-term securities (60 days or less to maturity): valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

	•	Underlying funds: mutual funds are valued at their respective net asset values. Exchange traded funds (ETFs) traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the official closing price, if applicable.

Laudus Growth Investors U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund

Financial Notes (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

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 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 and ETFs. Investments in mutual funds are valued daily at their NAV’s, which are classified as Level 1 prices.

	•	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. In addition, international securities whose markets close hours before the fund values its holdings may require fair valuations due to significant movement in the U.S. markets occurring after the daily close of the foreign markets. The Board has approved a vendor that calculates fair valuations of international equity securities based on a number of factors that appear to correlate to the movements in the U.S. markets. As investments whose values are classified as Level 2 prices include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information.

	•	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.

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 March 31, 2013 are disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings.

(b) Security Transactions:

(c) 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 day it learns of the ex-dividend date.

Laudus Growth Investors U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund

Financial Notes (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

(d) Expenses:

(e) Distributions to Shareholders:

The fund declares distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, once a year.

(f) Custody Credit:

The fund has an arrangement with its custodian bank, State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), under which the fund may receive a credit for its uninvested cash balance to offset its custody fees and accounting fees. The credit amounts, if any, are disclosed in the Statement of Operations as a reduction to the fund’s operating expenses.

(g) Accounting Estimates:

(h) Federal Income Taxes:

The fund intends to meet federal income and excise tax requirements for regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income and realized net capital gains, if any, to its respective shareholders each year. As long as a 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.

(j) New Accounting Pronouncements:

3. Risk factors:

Investing in the fund may involve certain risks, as described in the fund’s prospectus, including, but not limited to, those described below. Any of these risks could cause an investor to lose money.

Stock markets rise and fall daily. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of your investment in the fund will fluctuate, which means that the investors could lose money.

Laudus Growth Investors U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund

Financial Notes (continued)

3. Risk factors (continued):

The fund will principally invest in large-cap segments of the U.S. stock market. Large-cap stocks tend to go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. During a period when large-cap U.S. stocks fall behind other types of investments — mid-or small-cap stocks, for instance — the fund’s large-cap holdings could reduce performance.

Growth stocks can be volatile. Growth companies usually invest a high portion of earnings in their businesses and may lack the dividends of value stocks that can cushion stock prices in a falling market. The prices of growth stocks are based largely on projections of the issuer’s future earnings and revenues. If a company’s earnings or revenues fall short of expectations, its stock price may fall dramatically. Growth stocks may also be more expensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to value or other stocks.

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:

Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (“CSIM” or the “investment adviser”), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Charles Schwab Corporation, serves as the fund’s investment adviser pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement (“Advisory Agreement”) between CSIM and the trust. UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS Global AM”), the fund’s sub-adviser, provides day-to-day portfolio management services to the fund, subject to the supervision of CSIM.

For its advisory services to the fund, CSIM is entitled to receive an annual fee, payable monthly, based on a percentage of the fund’s average daily net assets described as follows:


Average daily net assets

First $500 million			0.70%
$500 million to $1 billion			0.65%
$1 billion to $1.5 billion			0.60%
$1.5 billion to $2 billion			0.575%
Over $2 billion			0.55%

CSIM (not the fund) pays a portion of the management fees it receives to UBS Global AM in return for its services.

CSIM has contractually agreed, until at least July 30, 2014, to waive a portion of its management fee and bear certain expenses of the fund. As such, CSIM further agrees to reimburse the fund to limit the annual expenses to 0.78% of the fund’s average daily net assets value, exclusive of nonrecurring account fees, fees on securities transactions such as exchange fees, dividends and interest on securities sold short, service fees, interest (overdraft charges), taxes, brokerage commissions other expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with GAAP, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the fund’s business.

Any amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular fiscal year will be subject to repayment through the next two fiscal years, to the extent that the repayment will not cause the fund’s net expenses to exceed the current limit (as stated in CSIM’s contractual undertaking) during the respective year. For the period ended March 31, 2013, there were no prior year amounts recouped. As of March 31, 2013, the balance of recoupable expenses and the respective years of expiration are as follows:


Expiration Date

March 31, 2014			$650,228
March 31, 2015			428,059

Total			$1,078,287

As of March 31, 2013, the fund had recoupable expenses expire in the amount of $537,214.

The fund may, from time to time, execute portfolio trades with affiliated brokers/dealers. For the period ended March 31, 2013, the fund paid no brokerage fees on the execution of portfolio trades with affiliated brokers/dealers.

Laudus Growth Investors U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund

Financial Notes (continued)

5. Shareholders Services:

The trustees have authorized the fund to reimburse, out of the assets of the fund, financial intermediaries that provide sub-accounting and sub-transfer agency services in connection with the fund’s shares in an amount of up to 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the fund on an annual basis.

6. Board of Trustees:

The Trust’s Board of Trustees oversees the general conduct of the trust and the fund.

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 did not pay any of these interested persons for their services as trustees, but it did pay non-interested persons (independent trustees), as noted in the fund’s Statement of Operations. For information regarding the trustees please refer to Trustees and Officers table at the end of this report.

Until September 2006, a Retirement Plan existed for the independent trustees. After the Retirement Plan closed to new independent trustees, the previously accrued and unpaid benefits continue to be adjusted by performance of the fund. As a result, the amount of the retirement benefits payable to certain independent trustees may increase or decrease based on the performance of the fund.

7. Borrowing from Banks:

The fund has access to custodian overdraft facilities and to an uncommitted line of credit of $100 million with State Street. The fund pays interest on the amounts it borrows at rates that are negotiated periodically.

There were no borrowings from the lines of credit by the fund during the period. However, the fund may have utilized its overdraft facility and incurred interest expense, which is disclosed on the Statement of Operations, if any. The interest expense is determined based on a negotiated rate above the current Federal Funds Rate.

8. Purchases and Sales/Maturities of Investment Securities:

For the period ended March 31, 2013, purchases and sales/maturities of securities (excluding short-term obligations) were as follows:

9. Redemption Fee:

The fund charges a 2.00% redemption fee on shares sold or exchanged within 30 days of the original purchase date. Such amounts are netted against redemption proceeds in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. The redemption fees charged during the current and prior periods are:

Laudus Growth Investors U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund

Financial Notes (continued)

10. Federal Income Taxes:

As of March 31, 2013, the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:


Undistributed ordinary income	$4,935,329
Undistributed long-term capital gains	12,878,491
Unrealized appreciation on investments	296,680,996
Unrealized depreciation on investments	(21,119,770	)
Other unrealized appreciation/(depreciation)	—

Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation)	$275,561,226

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.

Capital loss carryforwards may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. As of March 31, 2013, the fund had no capital loss carryforwards.

For tax purposes, realized net capital losses and late-year ordinary losses incurred after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. For the year ended March 31, 2013, the fund had no capital losses deferred and no capital losses utilized.

The tax-basis components of distributions paid during the current and prior fiscal years were:


Current period distributions
Ordinary income			$14,089,863
Long-term capital gains			13,509,456
Return of capital			—

Prior period distributions
Ordinary income			$—
Long-term capital gains			14,438,073
Return of capital			—

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 are due primarily to differing treatment for items such as capital losses related to wash sales and deferred trustee retirement plan fees. The fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the net investment income and net realized gains are recorded by the fund for financial reporting purposes. The fund may also designate a portion of the amount paid to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for tax purposes.


Capital shares	$—
Undistributed net investment income	451,633
Net realized capital gains/(losses)	(451,633	)

As of March 31, 2013, 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 March 31, 2013, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

11. Subsequent Events:

A special meeting has been scheduled for May 10, 2013. The purpose of the meeting is for Shareholders to approve the adoption of exemptive relief which would authorize CSIM, subject to the supervision and approval of the Board, to hire, terminate or replace investment subadvisers for the fund without seeking shareholder approval. Other than what is listed above, no other 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 and Shareholders of:

Laudus Growth Investors U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio holdings, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Laudus Growth Investors U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund (one of the portfolios constituting Laudus Trust, hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at March 31, 2013, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2013 and the financial highlights for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at March 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The financial highlights for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2009 were audited by other auditors whose report dated August 27, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements and financial highlights.
