Management’s Discussion for the year ended March 31, 2008
Global Market Overview
The past four quarters were a period of increasing volatility in capital markets around the globe. The period began with fairly strong positive returns, with many equity indexes gaining over 6% in the second quarter of 2007. In the third quarter, however, small-cap stocks around the world began to pull back, posting generally negative returns, particularly more value-oriented stocks. Large-cap indexes, especially those with a growth-style orientation, continued upward. During the final two quarters of the period, the damage spread across all equity areas — many indexes lost well over 10%, as investors became increasingly concerned about slowing global economic growth and problems in the credit markets. As a result, global equity markets ultimately generated mostly negative returns for the full period, with U.S. small-cap stocks the worst performing area. The most notable exception was emerging markets stocks, which finished the period up over 20%.
Three specific months stand out as significant contributors to the relatively weak returns over the period: July and November of 2007, and January of 2008. In July, investors around the globe sold equity positions in reaction to problems in the credit markets. Continued deterioration in the U.S. housing market and weakness in the sub-prime lending business led to significant financing problems among major investment banks. Over the past several years, many of the loans made to U.S. homeowners were packaged into securitized, bond-like products and placed in fixed income portfolios around the globe. As some borrowers across the U.S. housing markets began to default on their loans, the quality of the securities created by packaging them began to deteriorate. For example, Bear Stearns, a venerated U.S. investment bank, ran into trouble with two of their hedge funds during the summer of 2007, as the values of the underlying assets became increasingly difficult to determine. As these funds were highly leveraged, declines in asset values led to significant losses for the funds. These funds — and others like them — needed to sell their more liquid and highly valued assets to raise cash, causing some unusually strong global volatility in the middle of August 2007. While in its initial stages these effects were felt most strongly in the U.S. fixed income markets, equity investors were concerned about the financial status of the U.S. consumer, and thus the continued growth of the U.S. economy.
After the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) Open Market Committee acted to provide additional liquidity to the credit markets in mid-August, and followed that up with a cut in interest rates in mid-September, the markets responded positively. The Fed probably had the Financial sector in mind when it took considerable action during August and September. This group of companies comprises about 20% of most major U.S. indexes, so their valuations and future earnings are very important to stock market investors. In August, the Fed lowered the discount rate, which makes it easier for banks to borrow directly from the Fed. They even persuaded some major banks to step up to the discount window, in a public display of pumping liquidity into the financial system. Then, in September, they lowered the Fed funds rate, the rate banks charge each other, which has much broader application. That caused an immediate decline in the prime rate, lowering borrowing costs throughout the economy. The equity markets generally cheered these moves, but the concerns over the housing market continued the pressure on Financial stocks, keeping the pressure on the markets overall.
By November 2007, it became increasingly clear that the U.S. economy was slowing down. Banks, mortgage firms and homebuilders began to write down assets on their balance sheets in response to the declines in asset values in securities tied to the U.S. mortgage markets. These firms also reported lower earnings and reduced their expectations of future earnings in their reports and updates to investors. Economists around the world spoke of a recession — or at best flat economic growth — in the U.S. and possibly around the world. By January 2008, investors saw evidence of the slowdown in higher unemployment figures and lower manufacturing production. The final figure for U.S. GDP growth in the fourth quarter of 2007 was an annual rate of 0.6% — growth, but just barely. Investors continued to sell stocks across the globe, and equities in general continued their decline.
Also in January, the Fed and some of their global counterparts took some unusual steps designed to restore liquidity to the credit markets. These central banks created pools of credit facilities and lowered the interest rates they charged to borrowers. The Fed again lowered their main interest rate, the Fed funds rate, numerous times in the early part of 2008, thus reducing borrowing costs across the entire economy. While other central banks around the world were not quite as accommodat-

ing, they too injected liquidity into their markets. And in one of the most unusual moves in recent financial history, the Fed also engineered a purchase of Bear Stearns by JP Morgan. The Fed believed that Bear Stearns’ potential bankruptcy — an event no one thought likely just days before — would very negatively affect both the equity and credit markets, partially due to the firm’s size and presence as a prime broker. But all of these moves, while helpful in calming the markets, also lowered the value of the U.S. dollar versus other currencies, leading to higher commodity and energy prices and increasing fears of inflation.
Investors’ concerns were heightened by reports of inflation. The U.S. Consumer Price Index climbed during the period, with a reported gain of 4.1% during the calendar year 2007. The decline in the value of the U.S. dollar versus other major currencies was a factor in the U.S. inflation rate, as that decline increased the price of imports, especially energy-related products such as crude oil and gasoline. Further evidence of inflation fears showed in the fixed income markets, as the return on U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Series (“TIPS”) bonds was strongly positive over the period, returning over 14%. Major commodity indexes also were up strongly, many over 30% during the period. Inflation is generally viewed by investors as negative for equities, due to the difficulty of passing along higher costs to consumers and thus increasing the likelihood of lower earnings.
The U.S. dollar’s decline and the gains in some commodity markets did generate some positive news for U.S. investors with assets in non-U.S. stocks, however. The MSCI EAFE Index, while negative for the period at - -2.27%, lost less than its U.S. counterpart, the Russell 1000 Index, which was down 5.40%. The dollar’s decline explains much of the difference, but also important was that financial firms in the U.S. index were down significantly more than their foreign counterparts, as a result of their greater direct exposure to problems stemming from the U.S. housing markets. Also important was the higher return to foreign firms in the Materials Sector. Generally, commodity-oriented firms were of greater importance in non-U.S. economies, and their increased weight in the non-U.S. indexes, plus their overall higher returns, helped push these stocks to higher returns versus U.S. equities. This trend was especially true for the emerging markets area, where the Materials and Energy Sectors combined to contribute nearly 11% of the total 21.6% return to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index over the period.

Management’s Discussion continued
Investments in long/short funds are more volatile and risky than some other forms of investments. Since they have both long and short portfolios, an investment will involve risks associated with twice the number of investment decisions made for a typical stock fund. These types of funds typically have a high portfolio turnover that could increase transaction costs and cause short-term capital gains to be realized. While it may be the intent of the Manager to take long positions in stocks that outperform the market and short positions in stocks that underperform the market, there is no assurance that the Manager will be successful.
The Fund may sell a security short by borrowing it from a third party and selling it at the then-current market price. The Fund is obligated to buy the security on a later date so it can return the security to the lender. Short sales involve the risk that the Fund will incur a loss by subsequently buying a security at a higher price than the price at which the Fund previously sold the security short. Moreover, because the Fund’s loss on a short sale arises from increases in the value of the security sold short, the extent of such loss is theoretically unlimited.
Since risk in long/short funds relates specifically to the Manager’s stock selection techniques and not to any systematic or economy-wide factors, the proper benchmark is an asset that also has the least exposure to systematic influences. 90-day T-bills are such an asset. The full faith and credit of the U.S. government back an investment in 90-day T-bills. T-bills have a fixed rate of return, and investors do not bear the risk of losing their investment. The income received from T-bills is free from state income tax.

Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Large Capitalization Fund For its fiscal year ended 3/31/08, the Fund posted a negative return and underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Index: The Fund’s Investor Shares lost 6.61% versus the benchmark’s loss of 5.40%. The Fund’s underperformance can be attributed primarily to stock selection. The Fund’s allocations across sectors and valuations contributed positively, but not enough to overcome the negative impacts from stock selection.
Among sectors, the strongest contributor to performance was from the Fund’s stock selection in the Information Technology sector. The Fund’s overweight of Energy stocks as compared to the benchmark also contributed nicely as the sector performed strongly for the fiscal year. Despite the extremely weak performance of the Financials sector for the period — by far the benchmark’s worst-performing sector for the period — the Fund posted a positive contribution due to a combination of its underweighting to the benchmark and stock selection with the sector; the Fund was able to avoid the most damaging fallout resulting from the expanding credit crisis over the period. However, dragging on Fund performance was stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary, Utilities, Consumer Staples and Health Care sectors, in combination with an underweight in Consumer Staples and Health Care, both of which held up relatively well for the period.
Across market capitalization, no clear pattern emerged. The strongest contribution came from stock selection among the smallest companies, along with an underweight of those stocks — among the weakest performers for the reporting period. An underweight of mid-caps, also weak performers, contributed somewhat. Those underweights logically led to an overweight of stocks in the mid- to large-cap range, however, which hurt the Fund, as did stock selection among mega-cap stocks (those with market caps above $150 billion).
From a valuation standpoint, the Fund’s value orientation dragged on performance for the reporting period as growth-oriented stocks generally outperformed value by a substantial margin. From a Price/ Earnings (“P/E”) perspective, the largest drag came from weak selection among stocks with mid-range P/Es, followed by a combination of stock selection and a substantial overweight of the most deeply undervalued stocks. Those negatives were somewhat mitigated by a substantial underweight of stocks with negative P/Es (those with no earnings), which as a group performed poorly for the period. A combination of stock selection and an underweight of high-P/E stocks also added value, consistent with the Fund’s value orientation as compared to the benchmark.
From a Price/ Book (“P/B”) perspective, stock selection among the most richly valued stocks — those with the highest P/B ratios — provided the greatest contribution, followed by selection among stocks at the low end of the P/B range. However, those contributions were overshadowed by the Fund’s overweight of low- to mid-range

Management’s Discussion continued
P/B stocks, which were the worst performers for the period and dragged on performance, compounded by weak selection among those stocks.
The Fund is managed for long-term performance and seeks to outperform its benchmark as a result of effective stock picking. Consistent with the Fund’s underlying model, it seeks to capitalize on stocks with both superior long-term earnings and those with accelerating near-term earnings growth.
Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Large Capitalization Growth Fund For its fiscal year ended 3/31/08, the Fund posted a negative return and modestly underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index: The Fund’s Investor Shares lost 1.25% versus the benchmark’s loss of 0.75%. While allocations across sectors and some valuation measures added value, they were overshadowed by the negative impact of stock selection across those categories.
Among sectors, the strongest contribution came from a substantial overweight in Energy stocks as compared to the benchmark; Energy was the benchmark’s strongest-performing sector for the fiscal year. Stock-picking, however, detracted somewhat from that contribution. An overweight in the Materials sector also contributed notably, boosted by positive stock picking as well; although moderating recently, commodities posted a strong return for the period, and the Fund’s long-standing overweight to Basic Minerals and Metals added notable value. A combination of a slight underweight to Consumer Discretionary stocks in concert with positive stock selection also contributed. On the other hand, the Fund’s performance was negatively impacted by a combined underweighting to the Health Care sector plus stock selection among those stocks, weak stock selection among Financials, and an underweight to Consumer Staples — which performed relatively well; as consumer confidence fell with increasingly dire economic reports, investors flocked to more defensive stocks such as Consumer Staples.
Across market capitalizations, the Fund’s allocation contributed only modestly, and despite the positive effect of stock picking across several market-cap ranges, stock selection overall dragged on Fund performance. Stock selection contributed most notably among the small- to mid-caps but detracted among the large-cap and mega-cap ranges. Market-cap allocation had the greatest contribution across mega-cap companies, where the Fund was slightly underweight as compared to the benchmark, and across mid-cap companies where the Fund was also underweighted. The greatest drag came from the Fund’s slight underweight in very large-cap stocks — the benchmark’s strongest performers for the period.
From a valuation standpoint, allocation across P/Es contributed somewhat but was overshadowed by the negative impact of stock selection. Across several P/E ranges, stock selection did contribute positively, primarily among mid-range P/Es and the highest P/Es (those with more growth-like characteristics). But detracting from performance was the Fund’s stock selection among the highest P/E ranges. In terms of allocation, a substantial underweight to stocks with negative P/Es (those with no earnings) worked in the Fund’s favor, as those stocks were snubbed by the market in favor of reliable earnings. An overweight of low-P/E stocks also contributed — the strongest performers in the benchmark for the period, albeit by only a small margin. As far as P/B measures, however, the contributors were a bit different: The Fund was helped by stock selection among stocks in the mid-range of P/B value, but dragged by its allocations, particularly from an overweight of low-P/B stocks and an overweight of stocks with extremely high P/B valuation. Such results are reflective of the market’s preference of growth characteristics over value for the period; and the Fund’s slight underperformance is not surprising given its overall value orientation.
The Fund is managed for long-term performance and seeks to outperform its benchmark as a result of effective stock picking. Consistent with the Fund’s underlying model, it seeks to capitalize on stocks with both superior long-term earnings and those with accelerating near-term earnings growth.
Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Large Capitalization Value Fund For its fiscal year ended 3/31/08, the Fund posted a negative return but outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index: The Fund’s Investor Shares lost 5.50% versus the benchmark’s loss of 9.99%. The Fund’s outperformance can be attributed to both stock selection and its allocation across multiple measures.
Across sectors, the Fund’s greatest contribution came from a combination of solid stock selection and a notable underweight to the Financial sector — the benchmark’s weakest-performing sector for the fiscal year — as the Fund was able to avoid much of the fallout resulting from the subprime lending issues and the subsequent

credit crisis. A combination of an overweight of the Materials sector along with strong stock selection among those stocks also contributed notably. In the Energy sector — by far the benchmark’s strongest-performing sector for the period — the Fund’s substantial overweight contributed nicely. Strong stock-picking coupled with an overweight in Industrials — another strong performer — also added value.
From a market-capitalization standpoint, stock selection added value almost across the board, with the exception among mega-cap stocks — those with market caps above $150 billion. Selection among large-cap stocks provided the greatest contribution, although among small-caps was also notable. As far as allocation, the Fund’s overweight of the smallest of the benchmark’s large-cap spectrum and its underweight of the largest together provided the most notable contribution.
Across valuation measures, the Fund’s outperformance was again dominated by stock selection, with only a modest contribution from its allocations. From a P/E perspective, strong stock selection was particularly notable among the lower-end of the P/E range, although it was also in evidence among the highest P/E stocks (those with P/Es above 35). The most notable contribution from allocation across P/Es was the Fund’s substantial underweighting among stocks with negative P/Es — those with no earnings — which the market shunned in favor of stocks with reliable earnings. From a P/B perspective, the Fund’s stock selection among the most undervalued stocks was particular notable. Stock selection, combined with a modest overweighting of stocks with the highest P/B valuations also contributed nicely.
The Fund is managed for long-term performance and seeks to outperform its benchmark as a result of effective stock picking. Consistent with the Fund’s underlying model, it seeks to capitalize on stocks with both superior long-term earnings and those with accelerating near-term earnings growth.
Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Discovery Fund For its fiscal year ended 3/31/08, the Fund posted a negative return and slightly underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2500tm Index: The Fund’s Investor Shares lost 11.36% for the period versus the benchmark’s loss of 11.27%. The Fund’s underperformance was generally attributable to stock selection, with allocations contributing modestly.
Among sectors, the Fund’s most notable contribution came from extremely strong stock picking in the Materials sector, which performed well for the reporting period, albeit moderating in recent months from earlier highs. While allocation played some role — the Fund was overweight the benchmark — it was the Fund’s holdings in the Materials sector that had the most impact. The Fund’s overweight of the Energy sector — by far the benchmark’s strongest-performing sector of the reporting period — also added substantial value, although it was dampened a bit by weak stock selection within the sector. And stock selection among Financials also contributed to performance, as the Fund managed to avoid the most heavily hit holdings in the rapidly expanding credit-crisis fallout; an underweight to the sector also helped. Detracting from performance, however, was stock selection in the Information Technology sector, compounded somewhat by an overweight to the weakly performing sector, and weak stock selection in the Consumer Staples and Utilities sectors.
Across market capitalizations, while the Fund added value from strong stock selection within some ranges, others worked against it, resulting in only a modestly positive effect from stock picking. Allocation detracted somewhat. The Fund’s stock selection among the mid-range of market caps added the most value, whereas it detracted at the upper and lower ends of the range. The Fund’s substantial overweight of the smallest companies and its underweight of the largest also detracted from performance.
Across valuations, no clear pattern emerged. From a P/E perspective, strong stock picking among the most undervalued stocks added value, but it was overshadowed by a combination of weak performance of the Fund’s most richly valued stocks, along with a substantial underweighting of those stocks. A significant underweight among stocks with negative P/Es (those with no earnings) added value as the market shunned such stocks in favor of reliable earnings and anticipated earnings growth.
From a P/B perspective, the Fund suffered from its allocations across nearly all P/B levels, most notably its underweighting among stocks with the highest valuations, as the market favored those stocks and their growth orientation. Weak performance among the Fund’s stocks in that arena magnified the drag on performance. Stock selection contributed, however, among the middle ranges of P/Bs. Overall, the Fund’s value orientation as com-

pared to the benchmark did not bode well for it over the reporting period, as growth continued to outperform.
The Fund is managed for long-term performance and seeks to outperform its benchmark as a result of effective stock picking. Consistent with the Fund’s underlying model, it seeks to capitalize on stocks with both superior long-term earnings and those with accelerating near-term earnings growth.
Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Small Capitalization Fund For its fiscal year ended 3/31/08, the Fund posted a negative return and slightly underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index: The Fund’s Investor Shares lost 13.57% versus the benchmark’s loss of 13.00%. The Fund’s underperformance was generally attributable to stock selection, although some allocations also detracted.
Among sectors, the Fund’s greatest contribution came from the benchmark’s worst-performing industry for the reporting period, Consumer Discretionary, in which weakness was a reflection of the soft economy and a growing lack of consumer confidence during the period. A combination of the Fund’s underweighting of the sector and stock selection within the sector contributed notably to the Fund’s performance. Also contributing were overweights to Materials and Energy — the benchmark’s strongest performers for the period — coupled with solid stock selection in both sectors. And stock selection among Health Care companies also added value, albeit dampened somewhat by the negative impact of an underweighting to the sector. Detracting from performance, however, was the impact of weak stock selection among Industrials, Information Technology, Financials and, to a lesser extent, Utilities.
Across market capitalizations, the Fund’s allocations dragged on performance, with stock selection adding some value but unable to overcome the negatives. Evident of its value orientation, the Fund’s substantial underweight to the smallest companies worked against it for the fiscal year, compounded by weak selection among those companies. This was offset somewhat, however, by strong overall performance of the Fund’s small/mid-cap holdings, which outperformed those in the benchmark.
From a valuation standpoint, the effect of allocations and stock picking across P/E and P/B ratios yielded mixed effects. From a P/E perspective, the Fund’s allocations contributed, but were overshadowed by the drag from stock selection across multiple P/E ranges. For example, the Fund’s substantial underweighting of stocks with negative P/Es contributed notably to performance, but the stocks that the Fund held in that range underperformed those of the benchmark. The Fund’s substantial overweight of the lowest-P/E stocks contributed. However, although stock selection among stocks in the mid-range of P/E ratios provided a modest positive contribution, it was overshadowed by weak stock selection among the most overvalued stocks — those with stronger growth characteristics that the market rewarded for the period.
Across the valuation measure of P/B, stock selection overall provided the greatest contribution, but it was reduced by the drag from weak allocation. As with P/E measures, stock selection among the most richly valued stocks dragged notably on Fund performance — compounded by the Fund’s substantial underweighting of those stocks (the Fund held less than half of the benchmark’s weighting). And the Fund’s overweighting of low P/B stocks also dragged on performance, along with weak stock selection among the very low P/B range. The bright spot among P/B measures was stock selection among stocks in the mid-range of valuations.
The Fund is managed for long-term performance and seeks to outperform its benchmark as a result of effective stock picking. Consistent with the Fund’s underlying model, it seeks to capitalize on stocks with both superior long-term earnings and those with accelerating near-term earnings growth.
Laudus Rosenberg Long/Short Equity Fund For its fiscal year ended 3/31/08, the Fund posted a negative return and underperformed its benchmark, 90-day T-bills: The Fund’s Investor Shares lost 0.82% versus the benchmark’s gain of 3.57%. Although the Fund’s short positions contributed nicely, they were overshadowed by the negative impact of weak performance of many of the Fund’s long positions.
From a sector standpoint, the largest drag came from the Fund’s net long exposure to Information Technology; the Fund’s long positions underperformed, and while its short positions added value, the net effect was negative. The Fund’s net long exposure to Energy also detracted: While the Fund’s net long positions added value, they were more than overshadowed by strong performance among the Fund’s short positions, which dragged on the Fund. A net long exposure to Telecommunication Services also hurt the Fund for the period, as its long

positions were weak performers and its shorts were strong. And a net short exposure to Financials hurt: Although the Fund’s short positions added value due to the general decline of Financial stocks over the period, the Fund’s long positions underperformed, resulting in a net drag for the period. The Materials sector, where the Fund was net long, was the notable bright spot on a sector basis: The Fund’s long positions performed well, and its shorts fell — both adding value nicely for the period.
From a market-capitalization perspective, the Fund was generally net long among the smallest and largest stocks, and net short in between. That net long exposure to the smallest stocks — which performed weakly for the period, reflective of the general strength of larger-caps over the period — was the greatest detraction from Fund performance on a market-cap basis. Weak performance among the Fund’s net short positions among the smallest stocks added value — but not quite enough to overcome the negative impact of the longs.
From a valuation standpoint, in a market environment that favored growth over value, the Fund’s value orientation hurt. From a P/E perspective, value was added primarily among the lower-P/E ranges, where the Fund held a net long exposure (although the contribution came primarily from weak performance among the Fund’s short positions). At the mid-range of P/Es, the Fund’s weak performance of its longs as well as positive performance of its shorts netted a drag, as did weak performance among the Fund’s long positions with the highest valuations (P/Es above 35).
From a P/B perspective, a similar pattern emerged. Generally speaking, among the low-P/B stocks, the Fund’s short positions added value, while its longs lost value due to weak performance, resulting in a net loss. Only the Fund’s shorts among stocks with the highest P/B values detracted from Fund performance, as the market favored growth characteristics over value for the period.

Investments in long/short funds are more volatile and risky than some other forms of investments. Since they have both long and short portfolios, an investment will involve risks associated with twice the number of investment decisions made for a typical stock fund. These types of Funds typically have a high portfolio turnover that could increase transaction costs and cause short-term capital gains to be realized. While it may be the intent of the Manager to take long positions in stocks that outperform the market and short positions in stocks that underperform the market, there is no assurance that the Manager will be successful.
The Fund uses the return that an investor could achieve through an investment in 3-month U.S. Treasury Bills as a benchmark against which to measure the Fund’s performance. AXA Rosenberg attempts to achieve returns for the Fund’s shareholders which exceed the benchmark. An investment in the Fund is different from an investment in 3-month U.S. Treasury Bills because, among other differences, U.S. Treasury Bills are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, U.S. Treasury Bills have a fixed rate of return, investors in U.S. Treasury Bills do not risk losing their investment, and an investment in the Fund is more volatile than an investment in U.S. Treasury Bills.
Small- and mid-capitalization funds typically carry additional risk since small-and mid-capitalization companies generally have a higher risk of failure.
Value-based investments are subject to the risk that the broad market may not recognize their value.

1 | Total returns include change in share price and reinvestment of distributions. Total returns may reflect the waiver of a portion of a Fund’s advisory fees for certain periods since the inception date. In such instances, and without the waiver of fees, total returns would have been lower. |

Disclosure of 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, 2007 and held through March 31, 2008, unless otherwise noted.
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 share classes’ actual expense ratios 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.

Financial Statements
Notes to Financial Statements as of 3/31/08
1. Organization.
Laudus Trust, (the “Trust”) was established as a Massachusetts business trust under the laws of Massachusetts on April 1, 1988. The Trust is an open-end diversified management investment company consisting of eleven portfolios as of March 31, 2008.
The list below shows all the funds in the Trust including the funds discussed in this report, which are highlighted (individually each such highlighted portfolio, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”):
Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Large Capitalization Fund,
Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Large Capitalization Growth
Fund,
Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Large Capitalization Value
Fund,
Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Discovery Fund,
Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Small Capitalization Fund,
Laudus Rosenberg International Equity Fund,
Laudus Rosenberg International Discovery Fund,
Laudus Rosenberg International Small Capitalization
Fund,
Laudus Rosenberg Long/Short Equity Fund (formerly the Laudus Rosenberg Value Long/Short Equity Fund),
Laudus Mondrian Emerging Markets Fund (commenced operations on November 2, 2007)
Laudus Mondrian International Fixed Income Fund (commenced operations on November 2, 2007)
As of October 15, 2004 and May 1, 2006 the Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Small Capitalization Fund and the Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Discovery Fund, respectively, were closed to new investors.
Each Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Institutional Shares and Investor Shares of no par value, and the Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Small Capitalization Fund is also authorized to issue an unlimited number of Adviser Shares of no par value. Each class of shares generally has identical rights and preferences, except that each class is subject to different eligibility conditions, bear different distribution and sub-transfer agent expenses, and has separate voting rights on matters pertaining solely to that class of shares.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its 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 for 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 that risk of loss to be remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies.
The accounting policies adopted by the Funds are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation
Each Fund uses approved pricing services to provide values for its portfolio securities. Current market values are generally determined by the approved pricing services as follows: securities traded on stock exchanges are valued at the last-quoted sales price on the exchange on which such securities are primarily traded (closing values), or, lacking any sales, at the mean between the bid and ask prices; securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued at the last sales price that day, or, if there are no sales that day, at the mean between the bid and ask prices. Securities may be fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees when approved pricing services do not provide a value for a security, a furnished price appears manifestly incorrect or events occur prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange that materially affect the furnished price.
Short-term debt securities that mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
Other investment companies are valued at their respective net asset values as determined by those funds, in accordance with the Investment Company Act of 1940 for a given day.
Security Transactions and Related Investment Income
Changes in holdings of portfolio securities are reflected no later than on the first business day following the trade
66 Laudus U.S. Equity Funds
Financial Statements—Notes to Financial Statements as of 3/31/08 continued
date. However, for financial reporting purposes, portfolio security transactions are reported on trade date. Net realized gains or losses from sales of securities are determined on the specific identification cost method. Interest income and expenses are recognized on the accrual basis. Dividend income, less foreign taxes withheld, (if any) and dividend expenses on securities sold short are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded as earned.
Foreign Currency Transactions
The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. All monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars based upon the prevailing exchange rate at the close of each business day.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses from currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. Further, the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated in the financial statements from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized gain or loss and unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments.
Real Estate Investment Trusts
Several Funds may own shares of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Certain distributions received from REITs during the year, which are known to be a return of capital, are recorded as a reduction to the cost of the individual REIT.
Repurchase Agreements
In a repurchase agreement, a Fund buys a security from another party (usually a financial institution) with the agreement that the security will be sold back in the future. The date, price and other conditions are all specified when the agreement is created.
The Funds’ repurchase agreements are currently fully collateralized by U.S. government securities or by U.S. government agency securities. All collateral is held by the Funds’ Custodian (or, with tri-party agreements, the agent’s bank) and is monitored daily to ensure that its market value is at least equal to the repurchase price under the agreement.
Short Sales
The Laudus Rosenberg Long/ Short Equity Fund is authorized to engage in Short sales. Short sales are transactions in which a Fund sells a security it does not own, in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security. To complete such a transaction, the Fund must borrow the security to deliver to the buyer upon the short sale; the Fund is then obligated to replace the security borrowed by purchasing the security at current market value sometime in the future. The Fund will incur a loss if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund will realize a gain if the price of the security declines between those dates. The potential for losses associated with short positions is much greater than the original value of the securities sold short and may exceed the market value of securities sold short recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Until the Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will maintain a segregated account at the Custodian Bank with cash, U.S. Government Securities and/or securities held long by the portfolio to sufficiently cover its short position on a daily basis. The collateral for the securities sold short includes the Deposits with Broker and Custodian Bank, as shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and the securities held long as shown in the Statement of Portfolio Holdings. Interest accrued or dividends paid on securities sold short are recorded as an expense on the Fund’s records.
Securities Lending
Under the Securities Lending Program, securities held by the Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Large Capitalization Growth Fund, the Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Discovery Fund and the Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Small Capitalization Fund are loaned by State Street Corporation, as agent, to certain brokers (the “Borrowers”). The Borrowers provide cash or U.S. Government securities as collateral against loans in an amount at least equal to 100% of the market value of the loaned securities.
The cash collateral of securities loaned is invested in high quality, short-term investments such as money market funds and U.S. government securities. The investments of collateral are marked-to-market daily and the value of the
Laudus U.S. Equity Funds 67
Financial Statements—Notes to Financial Statements as of 3/31/08 continued
collateral must be at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities each day.
At March 31, 2008, the following Funds had collateral and loans outstanding of:
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | Value of |
| | Value of | | Loaned |
| | Collateral | | Securities |
|
Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Large Capitalization Growth Fund | | $ | 9,625,633 | | | $ | 9,410,133 | |
Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Discovery Fund | | | 250,095,950 | | | | 243,929,093 | |
Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Small Capitalization Fund | | | 251,007,699 | | | | 244,590,493 | |
Expense, Investment Income and Gain/Loss Allocation
Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund; expenses not directly attributable to a Fund are allocated proportionately among each Fund within the Trust in relation to the net assets of each Fund or on another reasonable basis. Expenses specific to a class are charged to that class. Expenses other than class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class based upon the proportion of relative net assets or another reasonable basis. The investment income and expenses of the Fund (other than class specific expenses charged to a class) and realized and unrealized gains are allocated to each class of shares based upon relative net assets on the date income is earned, or expenses and realized/unrealized losses are incurred.
Distributions
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are made annually on a tax basis, which may differ from distribution amounts determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for REITs and wash sales for book and tax purposes.
Federal Income Taxes
It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investments companies, and to distribute substantially all of their taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments, to their shareholders. Therefore, no provisions are made for federal income taxes.
Custody Credit
Each Fund has an arrangement with its custodian bank under which the Fund receives a credit for its uninvested cash balance to offset its custody fees and accounting fees. The credit amounts are disclosed in the Statement of Operations as a reduction to the Funds’ operating expenses.
New Accounting Standards
Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation (FIN) No. 48 — Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of SFAS No. 109, was issued in July 2006 and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. This Interpretation provides new requirements for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure in the financial statements of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return when there is uncertainty about whether that tax position will ultimately be sustained. As of March 31, 2008, management has reviewed the tax positions for open tax years (March 31, 2004 through March 31, 2007), and determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. As of March 31, 2008, management does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will impact the financial statements; however, additional disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effects of certain of the measurements on changes in net assets for the period.
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about Funds’ derivative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS 161 on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

The Trust’s Board of Trustees oversees the general conduct of the Trust and the Funds.
Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (“CSIM” or the “Manager”) is the investment adviser of the Funds and manages the Funds’ business, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees. AXA Rosenberg Investment Management LLC (“AXA Rosenberg”), the Funds’ sub-adviser, provides day-to-day portfolio management services to the Funds, subject to the supervision of CSIM.
The Funds pay CSIM an advisory fee for these services on a monthly basis. CSIM — and not the Funds — pays a portion of the advisory fees it receives to AXA Rosenberg in return for its services.
The table below sets forth the advisory fee payable to CSIM by each Fund.

The Funds may, from time to time, execute portfolio trades with affiliated brokers/dealers. For the year ended March 31, 2008, the Funds paid no brokerage fees on the execution of portfolio trades with affiliated brokers/dealers.
CSIM has contractually agreed, until at least July 30, 2010, 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 generally accepted accounting principles, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Funds’ business as follows:

In addition, effective November 1, 2007 through October 31, 2008 the Manager has agreed to voluntarily waive 0.03% of the Investor Shares expenses. |
Effective April 15, 2008, the expense limitations will be reduced for the Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Large Capitalization Fund, Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Large Capitalization Growth Fund, and Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Large Capitalization Value Fund as follows:

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 pay up to 0.15% of its average daily net assets attributable to Investor Shares for sub-transfer agent and sub-accounting services in connection with such shares.
Various service organizations act as servicing agents of the Adviser Shares of the Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Small Capitalization Fund. Such shares are subject to an annual Service Fee of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to such shares in accordance with a Service Plan adopted by the Trust. In addition, the Trustees have authorized the Fund to pay up to 0.05% of its average daily net assets attributable to Adviser Shares for the transfer agent and sub-accounting services in connection with such shares.
The Board of Trustees may include people who are officers and/or directors of other fund families affiliated to the investment adviser. Federal securities law limits the percentage of the “interested persons” who may serve on a trust’s board, and the Laudus Funds are in compliance with these limitations. The Funds did not pay any of the interested persons for their services as trustees, but did pay non-interested persons Independent Trustees, as noted in each Fund’s Statement of Operations.
A Retirement Plan was instituted for certain Independent Trustees of the Trust. In September 2006, the Trustees voted to close the Retirement Plan to new participants as of June 26, 2006 and to discontinue making contributions to the Retirement Plan after the plan year ending March 31, 2007. All other terms of the Retirement Plan, including without limitation provisions relating to vesting and payment upon termination of service, remain in effect. Under the terms of the Retirement Plan, upon retirement or other termination from service from the Trust (other than termination for cause), a retiring Independent Trustee who has served as Independent Trustee for at least five years shall be paid a lump sum cash payment (the “Retirement Payment”). The Retirement Payment shall be equal to $10,000 for each year that the Trustee has served as an Independent Trustee of the Trust, including years of service prior to the adoption of the Retirement Plan and including a final one-half year credit for service during the plan year ending March 31, 2007. Beginning April 1, 2005, each Independent Trustee was permitted to make a one-time election to have the $10,000 attributable to service for the coming year and previously accrued benefits adjusted up or down at the end of each subsequent year based on the unweighted average performance of Institutional Shares of each Fund of the Trust. After the closure of the Retirement Plan, the previously accrued benefits that an Independent Trustee had elected to have adjusted by the performance of the Funds would continue to be adjusted for performance as provided under the Retirement Plan. As a result, the amount of the Retirement Payment payable to any Independent Trustee may increase or decrease based upon performance of the Funds. The portion of the total Retirement Payment owed to an Independent Trustee upon his or her retirement that is payable by any Fund will be determined based on the relative net assets of the Funds of the Trust. The Trust did not pay any pension or retirement benefits for its Trustees.
4. Redemption Fee.
Certain Fund shares purchased that were redeemed or exchanged in less than 30 days, are assessed a fee of 2% of the current net asset value of the shares. The fee, which is applied to shares redeemed or exchanged in the order in which they are purchased, is retained by the Fund and is intended to limit short-term trading in the Funds, or to the extent short-term trading persists, to

5. Redemption-in-kind.
In certain circumstances, the Funds may distribute portfolio securities rather than cash as payment for redemption of Fund shares (redemption-in-kind). For financial reporting purposes, the Fund will recognize a gain on the in-kind redemptions to the extent the value of the distributed securities on the date of redemption exceeds the cost of those securities, the Fund will recognize a loss if the cost exceeds value. The net amount of $9,310,921 in gains and losses realized on the redemptions in-kind are not recognized for tax purposes, and are reclassified from realized gain (loss) to paid-in capital in excess of par value.

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 audits 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, 2008 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Management’s Discussion for the year ended March 31, 2008
Global Market Overview
The past four quarters were a period of increasing volatility in capital markets around the globe. The period began with fairly strong positive returns, with many equity indexes gaining over 6% in the second quarter of 2007. In the third quarter, however, small-cap stocks around the world began to pull back, posting generally negative returns, particularly more value-oriented stocks. Large-cap indexes, especially those with a growth-style orientation, continued upward. During the final two quarters of the period, the damage spread across all equity areas — many indexes lost well over 10%, as investors became increasingly concerned about slowing global economic growth and problems in the credit markets. As a result, global equity markets ultimately generated mostly negative returns for the full period, with U.S. small-cap stocks the worst performing area. The most notable exception was emerging markets stocks, which finished the period up over 20%.
Three specific months stand out as significant contributors to the relatively weak returns over the period: July and November of 2007, and January of 2008. In July, investors around the globe sold equity positions in reaction to problems in the credit markets. Continued deterioration in the U.S. housing market and weakness in the sub-prime lending business led to significant financing problems among major investment banks. Over the past several years, many of the loans made to U.S. homeowners were packaged into securitized, bond-like products and placed in fixed income portfolios around the globe. As some borrowers across the U.S. housing markets began to default on their loans, the quality of the securities created by packaging them began to deteriorate. For example, Bear Stearns, a venerated U.S. investment bank, ran into trouble with two of their hedge funds during the summer of 2007, as the values of the underlying assets became increasingly difficult to determine. As these funds were highly leveraged, declines in asset values led to significant losses for the funds. These funds — and others like them — needed to sell their more liquid and highly valued assets to raise cash, causing some unusually strong global volatility in the middle of August 2007. While in its initial stages these effects were felt most strongly in the U.S. fixed income markets, equity investors were concerned about the financial status of the U.S. consumer, and thus the continued growth of the U.S. economy.
After the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) Open Market Committee acted to provide additional liquidity to the credit markets in mid-August, and followed that up with a cut in interest rates in mid-September, the markets responded positively. The Federal Reserve probably had the Financial sector in mind when it took considerable action during August and September. This group of companies comprises about 20% of most major U.S. indexes, so their valuations and future earnings are very important to stock market investors. In August, the Fed lowered the discount rate, which makes it easier for banks to borrow directly from the Fed. They even persuaded some major banks to step up to the discount window, in a public display of pumping liquidity into the financial system. Then, in September, they lowered the Fed funds rate, the rate banks charge each other, which has much broader application. That caused an immediate decline in the prime rate, lowering borrowing costs throughout the economy. The equity markets generally cheered these moves, but the concerns over the housing market continued the pressure on Financial stocks, keeping the pressure on the markets overall.
By November 2007, it became increasingly clear that the U.S. economy was slowing down. Banks, mortgage firms and homebuilders began to write down assets on their balance sheets in response to the declines in asset values in securities tied to the U.S. mortgage markets. These firms also reported lower earnings and reduced their expectations of future earnings in their reports and updates to investors. Economists around the world spoke of a recession — or at best flat economic growth — in the U.S. and possibly around the world. By January 2008, investors saw evidence of the slowdown in higher unemployment figures and lower manufacturing production. The final figure for U.S. GDP growth in the fourth quarter of 2007 was an annual rate of 0.6% — growth, but just barely. Investors continued to sell stocks across the globe, and equities in general continued their decline.
Also in January, the Fed and some of their global counterparts took some unusual steps designed to restore liquidity to the credit markets. These central banks created pools of credit facilities and lowered the interest rates they charged to borrowers. The Fed again lowered their main interest rate, the Fed funds rate, numerous times in the early part of 2008, thus reducing borrowing costs across the entire economy. While other central banks around the world were not quite as accommodat-

Management’s Discussion continued
ing, they too injected liquidity into their markets. And in one of the most unusual moves in recent financial history, the Fed also engineered a purchase of Bear Stearns by JP Morgan. The Fed believed that Bear Stearns’ potential bankruptcy — an event no one thought likely just days before — would very negatively affect both the equity and credit markets, partially due to the firm’s size and presence as a prime broker. But all of these moves, while helpful in calming the markets, also lowered the value of the U.S. dollar versus other currencies, leading to higher commodity and energy prices and increasing fears of inflation.
Investors’ concerns were heightened by reports of inflation. The U.S. Consumer Price Index climbed during the period, with a reported gain of 4.1% during the calendar year 2007. The decline in the value of the U.S. dollar versus other major currencies was a factor in the U.S. inflation rate, as that decline increased the price of imports, especially energy-related products such as crude oil and gasoline. Further evidence of inflation fears showed in the fixed income markets, as the return on U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Series (“TIPS”) bonds was strongly positive over the period, returning over 14%. Major commodity indexes also were up strongly, many over 30% during the period. Inflation is generally viewed by investors as negative for equities, due to the difficulty of passing along higher costs to consumers and thus increasing the likelihood of lower earnings.
The U.S. dollar’s decline and the gains in some commodity markets did generate some positive news for U.S. investors with assets in non-U.S. stocks, however. The MSCI EAFE Index, while negative for the period at -2.27%, lost less than its U.S. counterpart, the Russell 1000 Index, which was down 5.40%. The dollar’s decline explains much of the difference, but also important was that financial firms in the U.S. index were down significantly more than their foreign counterparts, as a result of their greater direct exposure to problems stemming from the U.S. housing markets. Also important was the higher return to foreign firms in the Materials Sector. Generally, commodity-oriented firms were of greater importance in non-U.S. economies, and their increased weight in the non-U.S. indexes, plus their overall higher returns, helped push these stocks to higher returns versus U.S. equities. This trend was especially true for the emerging markets area, where the Materials and Energy Sectors combined to contribute nearly 11% of the total 21.6% return to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index over the period.

Management’s Discussion continued
Laudus Rosenberg International Equity Fund For its fiscal year ended 3/31/08, the Fund posted a negative return and underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE® Index: The Fund’s Investor Shares lost 6.21% versus the benchmark’s loss of 2.27%. Generally speaking, allocation decisions made modest positive contributions but were overshadowed by weak stock selection across most measures. The Fund, with its emphasis on valuation as well as earnings growth, clearly struggled against the benchmark in a period in which investors generally flocked to growth stocks — often without regard to cost.
On a sector basis, stock selection provided the greatest drag on performance; allocation across sectors added some value, but not enough to overcome the negatives. The largest sector detractor was from the Materials sector. Although the Fund’s substantial overweight to the strongly performing sector added value, it was overshadowed by underperformance of the Fund’s holdings in the sector as compared to those of the benchmark. An overweight to the Telecommunication Services sector also added value, as that industry held up relatively well over the reporting period. Stock selection, however, across multiple sectors detracted, most damaging in Information Technology, Industrials and Financials. The Fund’s underweight of Consumer Staples and overweight of Consumer Discretionary also worked against it, as international investors — following those in the U.S. — moved to more defensive holdings as the period wore on. The Fund’s stock selection within Consumer Discretionary, however, was able to mitigate the sector’s negative allocation impact.
Across market capitalizations, it was primarily the Fund’s stock selections that detracted from performance; in nearly all market-cap ranges the Fund’s holdings underperformed those of the benchmark. While overall allocation contributed slightly — most notably due to the Fund’s overweight to very large-cap stocks — the Fund’s modest overweight of the smallest stocks hurt, compounded by weak stock selection among them.
From a Price/Earnings (“P/E”) perspective, stock selection dragged on Fund performance for the period across nearly all valuation ranges as the Fund’s holdings failed to outperform those of the benchmark. The one exception was an overweight of stocks with the lowest P/Es that worked in the Fund’s favor, boosted by positive stock selection among those companies; in all other ranges, the Fund’s holdings underperformed those of its benchmark.
From a Price/Book (“P/B”) perspective, however, it was the Fund’s allocations that were the most damaging; in fact, stock picking in several valuation ranges contributed positively, most notably in the lower range of P/B values. Most damaging was a substantial overweight of stocks at the low end of the P/B range, not surprising in an environment in which growth notably outperformed value. At higher ranges, however, stock picking hurt. And among the stocks with the highest P/B valuations, both an underweight and weak stock selection detracted from performance.
As is typical for this Fund, regional allocation had little net effect. However, the Fund’s holdings within Europe — representing nearly two-thirds of the Fund’s portfolio — underperformed those of the benchmark, dragging on Fund performance for the period.
The Fund is managed for long-term performance and seeks to outperform its benchmark as a result of effective stock picking. Consistent with the Fund’s underlying model, it seeks to capitalize on stocks with both superior long-term earnings and those with accelerating near-term earnings growth.

The Fund’s underperformance was primarily a result of its stock selection decisions; allocations added value across some measures but detracted in others.
Among sectors, the Fund’s allocation decisions generally added value, but in most cases they were overshadowed by weak stock performance. The greatest sector contribution for the period came from Financials, where a combination of a substantial underweighting and strong stock selection among them added value. Most other sectors detracted — the largest of which was the Telecommunication Services sector where, despite an overweight that worked in the Fund’s favor, the Fund’s holdings significantly underperformed those in the benchmark. Other sectors that hurt performance for the period were Industrials, due to both an underweight and weak stock selection, and weak stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary and Materials sectors. A substantial overweight to Materials as compared to the benchmark did

Management’s Discussion continued
add value as the sector showed notable strength for the reporting period.
On a market-capitalization basis, while allocation added some value, it was more than offset by weak stock selection across market caps. The largest drag on performance came from the smallest stocks, where those held by the Fund substantially underperformed those of the benchmark. An overweight in this arena tempered the drag to some degree, but not nearly enough to overcome the stock-picking impact. The effect of weak stock selection was consistent across most capitalization ranges with the exception of the largest of the small-caps, where the Fund’s holdings outperformed those of the benchmark.
On a valuation basis, generally speaking, the Fund’s value orientation worked against it for the period, with overweights to both lower-valuation stocks and to more richly valued stocks — measured both by P/E and P/B values — working against the Fund for the fiscal year. However, strong performance of the Fund’s lower-P/E stocks contributed sufficiently to overcome the negative impact of allocation. Weak performance among the Fund’s stocks with mid-range P/Es also detracted from performance.
From a P/B perspective, the bright spot was that the Fund’s substantial overweight to stocks with low P/B values added some value. However, it was overshadowed the by effect of weak stock performance among the Fund’s holdings in that range.
Although typically, regional allocation has little net effect on Fund performance, for this period it added modest value as a result of the Fund’s overweight of Latin America compared to the benchmark. However, the Fund’s stocks in Latin America underperformed those of the benchmark, overshadowing the benefit of the Fund’s allocation there. Stock selection in North America, Europe and Asia & the Pacific Basin also detracted from Fund performance.

Laudus Rosenberg International Small Capitalization Fund For its fiscal year ended 3/31/08, the Fund posted a negative return and underperformed its benchmark, the S&P/Citigroup World ex U.S. Extended Market Index: The Fund’s Investor Shares lost 10.27% versus the benchmark’s loss of 6.39%. The Fund’s underperformance was primarily a result of its stock selection decisions, although in some cases, allocations also dragged on performance.
Among sectors, the Fund’s stock selection generally detracted from performance, and allocation across sectors contributed only modestly. Although a substantial overweight to the Materials sector contributed to performance, the negative impact of stock selection within the sector nearly overshadowed that contribution. Stock selection among Information Technology, Telecommunications Services and Utilities added some value, but it was overshadowed by weak stock performance among the Fund’s holdings in Industrials and Financials and, to a lesser extent, Consumer Discretionary and Health Care. The Fund’s underweight of Energy — the benchmark’s strongest-performing sector — and Health Care sectors also detracted, as did its overweight of Industrials.
Across market capitalizations, the Fund’s stock picking generally detracted; allocations added little net contribution. The positive contribution of the Fund’s stock picking fit a clear pattern: its holdings among the smaller companies outperformed those of the benchmark, while its larger holdings underperformed. But because those smaller holdings represented roughly 30% of the portfolio versus 70% for the larger holdings, the net effect was a drag on Fund performance for the period.
On a valuation basis, results were inconsistent when examined on a P/E vs. a P/B basis for the period. From a P/E perspective, the Fund’s allocations had little net effect; it was primarily stock selection that dragged on returns, particularly among the Fund’s mid-range valuations. However, the Fund did exhibit strong stock picking among the lowest and highest valuations. From a P/B perspective, however, it was the Fund’s allocations that dragged most on performance; while this was the case across all P/B ranges, the impact was greatest among the Fund’s stocks with the highest and lowest valuations. The Fund’s stock selection did compensate somewhat, however, particularly among those stocks with the lowest and highest valuations. Generally speaking, the market rewarded more highly valued stocks over the period, which worked against the Fund’s value orientation.

As is typical for this Fund, regional allocation had little net effect on Fund performance, although for this period it detracted modestly due to an underweight to North America and an overweight (albeit modest) to Africa & the Middle East. From a regional perspective, it was weak stock selection, particularly among European stocks — which represent more than 60% of the portfolio — that dragged most notably on performance. The Fund’s stock selection in Asia and the Pacific Basin compensated somewhat, but not enough to overcome the negatives.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance, and current returns may be lower or higher. The performance information does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. To obtain performance information current to the most recent month end, visit www.laudusfunds.com.
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.
There are risks associated with investing in foreign companies, such as erratic market conditions, economic and political instability and fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
Small capitalization funds typically carry additional risks since smaller companies generally have experienced a greater degree of market volatility.
Investors cannot invest directly in any index.

1 | Total returns include change in share price and reinvestment of distributions. Total returns may reflect the waiver of a portion of a Fund’s advisory fees for certain periods since the inception date. In such instances, and without the waiver of fees, total returns would have been lower. |

Disclosure of 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, 2007 and held through March 31, 2008, unless otherwise noted.
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 share classes’ actual expense ratios 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.

Notes to Financial Statements as of 3/31/08
Laudus Trust, (the “Trust”) was established as a Massachusetts business trust under the laws of Massachusetts on April 1, 1988. The Trust is an open-end diversified management investment company consisting of eleven portfolios, as of March 31, 2008.
The list below shows all the funds in the Trust including the funds discussed in this report, which are highlighted (individually each such highlighted portfolio, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”):
Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Large Capitalization Fund,
Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Large Capitalization Growth
Fund,
Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Large Capitalization Value
Fund,
Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Discovery Fund,
Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Small Capitalization Fund,
Laudus Rosenberg International Equity Fund,
Laudus Rosenberg International Discovery Fund,
Laudus Rosenberg International Small Capitalization
Fund,
Laudus Rosenberg Long/ Short Equity Fund (formerly the
Laudus Rosenberg Value Long/Short Equity Fund),
Laudus Mondrian Emerging Markets Fund
(commenced operations on November 2, 2007),
Laudus Mondrian International Fixed Income Fund
(commenced operations on November 2, 2007)
As of May 31, 2007, the Laudus Rosenberg International Small Capitalization Fund closed to all investors, except the Fund will continue to offer shares to certain qualified retirement plans and through reinvestment of dividends and capital gains.
Each Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Institutional Shares and Investor Shares of no par value. 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 has separate voting rights on matters pertaining solely to that class of shares.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its 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 for 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 that risk of loss to be remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies.
The accounting policies adopted by the Funds are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation
Each Fund uses approved pricing services to provide values for its portfolio securities. Current market values are generally determined by the approved pricing services as follows: securities traded on stock exchanges are valued at the last-quoted sales price on the exchange on which such securities are primarily traded (closing values), or, lacking any sales, at the mean between the bid and ask prices; securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued at the last sales price that day, or, if there are no sales that day, at the mean between the bid and ask prices. In addition, securities that are primarily traded on foreign exchanges are generally valued at the preceding closing values of such securities on their respective exchanges with these values then translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate. Securities may be fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees when approved pricing services do not provide a value for a security, a furnished price appears manifestly incorrect or events occur prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange that materially affect the furnished price.
Short-term debt securities that mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
Other investment companies are valued at their respective net asset values as determined by those funds, in accordance with the Investment Company Act of 1940 for a given day.

Security Transactions and Related Investment Income
Changes in holdings of portfolio securities are reflected no later than on the first business day following the trade date. However, for financial reporting purposes, portfolio security transactions are reported on trade date. Net realized gains or losses from sales of securities are determined on the specific identification cost method. Interest income and expenses are recognized on the accrual basis. Dividend income, less foreign taxes withheld, (if any) and dividend expenses on securities sold short are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded as earned.
Foreign Currency Transactions
The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. All monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars based upon the prevailing exchange rate at the close of each business day. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses from currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. Further, the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated in the financial statements from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized gain or loss and unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency. The forward foreign currency contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contractual settlement date. Gains or losses from the purchase or sale of forward foreign currency contracts are recorded as realized on the settlement date.
Foreign Securities
The Funds pursue their respective objectives by investing in foreign securities. Investments in securities of foreign issuers involve certain risks that are less significant for 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 currency blockage). The Funds may be unable to obtain and enforce judgments against foreign entities, and issuers of foreign securities are subject to different, and often less comprehensive, accounting, reporting and disclosure requirements than domestic issuers. Also, the securities of some foreign companies may be less liquid and at times more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies.
Real Estate Investment Trusts
Certain Funds may own shares of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Certain distributions received from REITs during the year, which are known to be a return of capital, are recorded as a reduction to the cost of the individual REIT.
Repurchase Agreements
In a repurchase agreement, a Fund buys a security from another party (usually a financial institution) with the agreement that the security will be sold back in the future. The date, price and other conditions are all specified when the agreement is created.
The Funds’ repurchase agreements are currently fully collateralized by U.S. government securities or by U.S. government agency securities. All collateral is held by the Funds’ Custodian (or, with tri-party agreements, the agent’s bank) and is monitored daily to ensure that its market value is at least equal to the repurchase price under the agreement.
Securities Lending
Under the Securities Lending Program, securities held by the Laudus Rosenberg International Small Capitalization Fund are loaned by State Street Corporation, as agent, to certain brokers (the “Borrowers”). The Borrowers provide cash or U.S. Government securities as collateral against loans in an amount at least equal to 100% of the market value of the loaned securities.
The cash collateral of securities loaned is invested in high quality, short-term investments such as money market funds and U.S. government securities. The investments of collateral are marked-to-market daily and the value of the collateral must be at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities each day.

Expense, Investment Income and Gain/ Loss Allocation
Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund; expenses not directly attributable to a Fund are allocated proportionately among each Fund within the Trust in relation to the net assets of each Fund or on another reasonable basis. Expenses specific to a class are charged to that class. Expenses other than class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class based upon the proportion of relative net assets or another reasonable basis. The investment income and expenses of the Fund (other than class specific expenses charged to a class) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based upon relative net assets on the date income is earned, or expenses and realized/unrealized gains and losses are incurred.
Distributions
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are made annually on a tax basis, which may differ from distribution amounts determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for foreign currency transactions, REITs, and wash sales for book and tax purposes.
Federal Income Taxes
It is the Funds’ policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investments companies, and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no provisions are made for federal income taxes.
Custody Credit
Each Fund has an arrangement with its custodian bank under which the Fund receives a credit for its uninvested cash balance to offset its custody fees and accounting fees. The credit amounts are disclosed in the Statement of Operations as a reduction to the Funds’ operating expenses.
New Accounting Standards
Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation (FIN) No. 48 — Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of SFAS No. 109, was issued in July 2006 and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. This Interpretation provides new requirements for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure in the financial statements of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return when there is uncertainty about whether that tax position will ultimately be sustained. As of March 31, 2008, management has reviewed the tax positions for open tax years (March 31, 2004 through March 31, 2007), and determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. As of March 31, 2008 management does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will impact the financial statements; however, additional disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effects of certain of the measurements on changes in net assets for the period.
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about Funds’ derivative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS 161 on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (“CSIM” or the “Manager”) is the investment adviser of the Funds and manages the Funds’ business, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees. AXA Rosenberg Investment Management LLC (“AXA Rosenberg”), the Funds’ sub-adviser, provides day-to-day portfolio management services to the Funds, subject to the supervision of CSIM.
The Funds pay CSIM an advisory fee for these services on a monthly basis. CSIM — and not the Funds — pays a portion of the advisory fees it receives to AXA Rosenberg in return for its services.
The table below sets forth the advisory fee payable to CSIM by each Fund.
| | |
| | Agreement Rate* |
|
Laudus Rosenberg International Equity Fund | | 1st $1 billion-0.85% $1 billion to $2 billion-0.80% Over $2 billion-0.775% |
Laudus Rosenberg International Discovery Fund | | 1st $1billion-1.00% Over $1 billion-0.95% |
Laudus Rosenberg International Small Capitalization Fund | | 1st $500 million-1.00% Over $500 million-0.95% |
| |
* | The advisory fee payable to CSIM varies based on fund assets. |
The Funds may, from time to time, execute portfolio trades with affiliated brokers/dealers. For the period ended March 31, 2008, the Funds paid no brokerage fees on the execution of portfolio trades with affiliated brokers/dealers.
CSIM has contractually agreed, until at least July 30, 2010, 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 generally accepted accounting principles, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Funds’ business as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Institutional | | Investor |
| | Shares | | Shares |

Laudus Rosenberg International Equity Fund* | | | 1.12% | | | | 1.40% | |
Laudus Rosenberg International Discovery Fund | | | 1.35% | | | | 1.65% | |
Laudus Rosenberg International Small Capitalization Fund | | | 1.49% | | | | 1.79% | |
| |
* | Prior to January 1, 2008, the expense limitation for the Institutional shares and Investor shares were 1.34% and 1.64%, respectively. |
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 current limit (as stated in CSIM’s contractual undertaking) during the respective year. As of March 31, 2008, the balance of recoupable expenses is as follows:

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 pay up to 0.15% of its average daily net assets attributable to Investor Shares for sub-transfer agent and sub-accounting services in connection with such shares.
The Board of Trustees may include people who are officers and/or directors of other fund families affiliated to the investment adviser. Federal securities law limits the percentage of the “interested persons” who may serve on a trust’s board, and the Laudus Funds are in compliance with these limitations. The Funds did not pay any of the

Financial Statements—Notes to Financial Statements as of 3/31/08 continued
interested persons for their services as trustees, but did pay non-interested persons (Independent Trustees), as noted in each Fund’s Statement of Operations.
A Retirement Plan was instituted for certain Independent Trustees of the Trust. In September 2006, the Trustees voted to close the Retirement Plan to new participants as of June 26, 2006 and to discontinue making contributions to the Retirement Plan after the plan year ending March 31, 2007. All other terms of the Retirement Plan, including without limitation provisions relating to vesting and payment upon termination of service, remain in effect. Under the terms of the Retirement Plan, upon retirement or other termination from service from the Trust (other than termination for cause), a retiring Independent Trustee who has served as Independent Trustee for at least five years shall be paid a lump sum cash payment (the “Retirement Payment”). The Retirement Payment shall be equal to $10,000 for each year that the Trustee has served as an Independent Trustee of the Trust, including years of service prior to the adoption of the Retirement Plan and including a final one-half year credit for service during the plan year ending March 31, 2007. Beginning April 1, 2005, each Independent Trustee was permitted to make a one-time election to have the $10,000 attributable to service for the coming year and previously accrued benefits adjusted up or down at the end of each subsequent year based on the unweighted average performance of Institutional Shares of each Fund of the Trust. After the closure of the Retirement Plan, the previously accrued benefits that an Independent Trustee had elected to have adjusted by the performance of the Funds would continue to be adjusted for performance as provided under the Retirement Plan. As a result, the amount of the Retirement Payment payable to any Independent Trustee may increase or decrease based upon performance of the Funds. The portion of the total Retirement Payment owed to an Independent Trustee upon his or her retirement that is payable by any Fund will be determined based on the relative net assets of the Funds of the Trust. The Trust did not pay any pension or retirement benefits for its Trustees.
4. Redemption Fee.
Certain Fund shares purchased that were redeemed or exchanged in less than 30 days, are assessed a fee of 2% of the current net asset value of the shares. The fee, which is applied to shares redeemed or exchanged in the order in which they are purchased, is retained by the Fund and is intended to limit short-term trading in the Funds, or to the extent short-term trading persists, to impose the costs of that activity on the shareholders who engage in it. Such amounts are net of the value of shares redeemed on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. For the current and prior period, redemption fees assessed were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Current | | Prior |
| | Period | | Period |
| | (4/1/07- | | (4/1/06- |
| | 3/31/08) | | 3/31/07) |

Laudus Rosenberg International Small Capitalization Fund | | | 32,882 | | | | 102,195 | |
| |
5. | Security Purchases and Sales. |
For the period ended March 31, 2008, purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term securities) were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Purchases | | Sales |

The Laudus Rosenberg International Equity Fund, Laudus Rosenberg International Discovery Fund and Laudus Rosenberg International Small Capitalization Fund has access to custodian overdraft facilities and to an uncommitted line of credit up to a maximum of $100,000,000, as established by State Street Corporation. Interest is calculated based on the market rates at the time of borrowing. There were no borrowings from the line of credit for the period ended March 31, 2008.

Laudus Rosenberg International Small Capitalization Fund | | | 94,586,998 | | | | 84,145,857 | | | | 178,732,855 | |
Net capital losses incurred after October 31 and within the taxable year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the Funds’ next taxable year. For the year ended March 31, 2008, the Funds deferred to April 1, 2008 post October capital losses of:

As of March 31, 2008, the components of distributable earnings/accumulated(losses) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Laudus Rosenberg International Small Capitalization Fund | | | 736,530 | | | | — | | | | (75,375,179 | ) | | | 36,995,347 | |
The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) is attributable primarily to: tax deferral of losses on wash sales, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains/(losses) on certain derivative instruments, and unrealized gains/(losses) on investments in passive foreign investment companies.
The permanent book and tax basis differences may result in reclassifications between capital accounts and other accounts as required. The adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. As of March 31, 2008, the Funds made the following reclassifications:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Laudus Trust
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 Rosenberg International Equity Fund, Laudus Rosenberg International Discovery Fund, and Laudus Rosenberg International Small Capitalization Fund (the “Funds”) at March 31, 2008, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, and 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 audits 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, 2008 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The Investment Environment
Global Market Overview
The following commentary covers the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2008. During the five-month period since the inception of the Laudus Mondrian Emerging Markets and International Fixed Income Funds in early November 2007 through March 31, 2008, the emerging markets area suffered through a significant decline, finishing the period down more than 15%, as shown in the performance table on page 7. However, the international fixed income area performed very well, gaining nearly 13% over the five-month period, as shown in the performance table on page 9.
The past four quarters were a period of increasing volatility in capital markets around the globe. The period began with fairly strong positive returns, with many equity indexes gaining over 6% in the second quarter of 2007. In the third quarter, however, small-cap stocks around the world began to pull back, posting generally negative returns, particularly more value-oriented stocks. Large-cap indexes, especially those with a growth-style orientation, continued upward. During the final two quarters of the period, the damage spread across all equity areas – many indexes lost well over 10%, as investors became increasingly concerned about slowing global economic growth and problems in the credit markets. As a result, global equity markets ultimately generated mostly negative returns for the full period, with U.S. small-cap stocks the worst performing area. The most notable exception was emerging markets stocks, which finished the period up over 20%.
Three specific months stand out as significant contributors to the relatively weak returns over the period: July and November of 2007, and January of 2008. In July, investors around the globe sold equity positions in reaction to problems in the credit markets. Continued deterioration in the U.S. housing market and weakness in the sub-prime lending business led to significant financing problems among major investment banks. Over the past several years, many of the loans made to U.S. homeowners were packaged into securitized, bond-like products and placed in fixed income portfolios around the globe. As some borrowers across the U.S. housing markets began to default on their loans, the quality of the securities created by packaging them began to deteriorate. For example, Bear Stearns, a venerated U.S. investment bank, ran into trouble with two of their hedge funds during the summer of 2007, as the values of the underlying assets became increasingly difficult to determine. As these funds were highly leveraged, declines in asset values led to significant losses for the funds. These funds – and others like them – needed to sell their more liquid and highly valued assets to raise cash, causing some unusually strong global volatility in the middle of August 2007. While in its initial stages these effects were felt most strongly in the U.S. fixed income markets, equity investors were concerned about the financial status of the U.S. consumer, and thus the continued growth of the U.S. economy.
After the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) Open Market Committee acted to provide additional liquidity to the credit markets in mid-August, and followed that up with a cut in interest rates in mid-September, the markets responded positively. The Fed probably had the Financial sector in mind when it took considerable action during August and September. This group of companies comprises about 20% of most major U.S. indexes, so their valuations and future earnings are very important to stock market investors. In August, the Fed lowered the discount rate, which makes it easier for banks to borrow directly from the Fed. They even persuaded some major banks to step up to the discount window, in a public display of pumping liquidity into the financial system. Then, in September, they lowered the Fed funds rate, the rate banks charge each other, which has much broader application. That caused an immediate decline in the prime rate, lowering borrowing costs throughout the economy. The equity markets generally cheered these moves, but the concerns over the housing market continued the pressure on Financial stocks, keeping the pressure on the markets overall.
By November 2007, it became increasingly clear that the U.S. economy was slowing down. Banks, mortgage firms and homebuilders began to write down assets on their balance sheets in response to the declines in asset values in securities tied to the U.S. mortgage markets. These firms also reported lower earnings and reduced their expectations of future earnings in their reports and updates to investors. Economists around the world spoke of a recession – or at best flat economic growth – in the U.S. and possibly around the world. By January 2008, investors saw evidence of the slowdown in higher unemployment figures and lower manufacturing production. The final figure for U.S. GDP growth in the fourth quarter of 2007 was an annual rate of 0.6% - growth, but just barely. Investors continued to sell stocks across the globe, and equities in general continued their decline.
Also in January, the Fed and some of their global counterparts took some unusual steps designed to restore liquidity to the credit markets. These central banks created pools of credit facilities and lowered the interest rates they charged to borrowers. The Fed again lowered their main interest rate, the fed funds rate, numerous times in the early part of 2008, thus reducing borrowing costs across the entire economy. While other central banks around the world were not quite as accommodating, they too injected liquidity into their markets. And in one of the most unusual moves in recent financial history, the Fed also engineered a

The Investment Environment continued
purchase of Bear Stearns by JP Morgan. The Fed believed that Bear Stearns’ potential bankruptcy – an event no one thought likely just days before – would very negatively affect both the equity and credit markets, partially due to the firm’s size and presence as a prime broker. But all of these moves, while helpful in calming the markets, also lowered the value of the U.S. dollar versus other currencies, leading to higher commodity and energy prices and increasing fears of inflation.
Investors’ concerns were heightened by reports of inflation. The U.S. Consumer Price Index climbed during the period, with a reported gain of 4.1% during the calendar year 2007. The decline in the value of the U.S. dollar versus other major currencies was a factor in the U.S. inflation rate, as that decline increased the price of imports, especially energy-related products such as crude oil and gasoline. Further evidence of inflation fears showed in the fixed income markets, as the return on U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Series (“TIPS”) bonds was strongly positive over the period, returning over 14%. Major commodity indexes also were up strongly, many over 30% during the period. Inflation is generally viewed by investors as negative for equities, due to the difficulty of passing along higher costs to consumers and thus increasing the likelihood of lower earnings.
The U.S. dollar’s decline and the gains in some commodity markets did generate some positive news for U.S. investors with assets in non-U.S. stocks, however. The MSCI EAFE Index, while negative for the period at -2.27%, lost less than its U.S. counterpart, the Russell 1000 Index, which was down 5.40%. The dollar’s decline explains much of the difference, but also important was that financial firms in the U.S. index were down significantly more than their foreign counterparts, as a result of their greater direct exposure to problems stemming from the U.S. housing markets. Also important was the higher return to foreign firms in the Materials Sector. Generally, commodity-oriented firms were of greater importance in non-U.S. economies, and their increased weight in the non-U.S. indexes, plus their overall higher returns, helped push these stocks to higher returns versus U.S. equities. This trend was especially true for the emerging markets area, where the Materials and Energy Sectors combined to contribute nearly 11% of the total 21.6% return to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index over the period.

Laudus Mondrian Funds 5
Laudus Mondrian Emerging Markets Fund
Laudus Mondrian Emerging Markets Fund Investor Shares declined 6.98% since inception through the end of the period, significantly outperforming the benchmark MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net), which declined 15.27%. In general, the fund maintained an underweight exposure to China and India, where valuations were unappealing. Also, the fund maintained an overweight exposure to select Asian markets, such as Taiwan and Thailand. From an industry group standpoint, the fund was overweight to the Telecom Sector, where strong free cash flows supported high dividend yields.
Emerging markets experienced a high degree of volatility during the fourth quarter of 2007, and marked weakness in the first quarter of 2008. During this period of market turbulence, the portfolio maintained its defensive characteristics, which primarily accounted for outperformance relative to the benchmark. Good positioning in China, Taiwan and India, as well as stock selection in Brazil and Russia, were the key factors contributing to performance. In addition, the fund’s strong value stock orientation helped returns during a period in which global growth slowed.
In terms of risk, the commodity boom in recent years has reduced macroeconomic risk, as countries such as Brazil and Russia have been able to pay down debt and build up healthy foreign currency reserves. Furthermore, progressive economic reforms, a greater focus on infrastructure development and growing domestic demand within emerging market countries has resulted in more balanced economies. However, political risk continued to be greater for emerging markets than for developed markets. Changes in government can lead to unpredictable and unstable economic outcomes.

Laudus Mondrian International Fixed Income Fund
Laudus Mondrian International Fixed Income Fund Investor Shares returned 13.27% since inception, while the benchmark Citigroup non-U.S. Dollar World Government Bond Index returned 12.57%. Over the period, the fund outperformed mainly due to an overweight position to Japan. The fund was underweight the U.K., Canada, and Europe, with exposure to the Eurozone on a partial currency hedged basis. An overweight to the well-performing Mexican local bond market helped relative returns. Overall, the fund was defensively shorter than the benchmark index duration.
The relative weakness of the dollar versus many major foreign currency and positive international bond market returns drove the fund’s strong absolute return. Although the dollar has been declining for several years, it experienced significant declines during the period. As a result, exposure to strong foreign currencies, particularly the Japanese Yen, contributed to performance, as did an underweight to the Canadian Dollar and British Pound.

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 November 2, 2007 and held through March 31, 2008.
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”), an open-end management investment company. The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended. The list below shows all the funds in the Trust including the funds discussed in this report, which are highlighted:
| | |
|
Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Large Capitalization Fund Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Large Capitalization Growth Fund Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Large Capitalization Value Fund Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Discovery Fund Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Small Capitalization Fund Laudus Rosenberg International Equity Fund Laudus Rosenberg International Discovery Fund | | Laudus Rosenberg International Small Capitalization Fund Laudus Rosenberg Long/Short Equity Fund (formerly the Laudus Rosenberg Value Long/Short Equity Fund) Laudus Mondrian Emerging Markets Fund Laudus Mondrian International Fixed Income Fund
|
| | |
Both the Laudus Mondrian Emerging Markets Fund and the Laudus Mondrian International Fixed Income Fund (each a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”) commenced operations on November 2, 2007 and each Fund offers three share classes: Investor Shares, Select Shares and Institutional Shares. Shares of each class represent interest in the same portfolio, but each class has different expenses and investment minimums. Shares are bought and sold at net asset value, or NAV, which is the price for all outstanding shares. Each Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Institutional Shares, Investor Shares and Select Shares of no par value. 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 has separate voting rights on matters pertaining solely to that class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies the Funds use in the preparation of financial statements. The accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
(a) Security Valuation:
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, halfway between the most recent bid and asked quotes. Securities that are primarily traded on foreign exchanges are valued at the closing values of such securities on their respective exchanges with these values then translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate. The Funds do not isolate the portion of the fluctuation 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. |
|
| • | Securities for which no quoted value is available or when a significant event has occurred between the time of the security’s last close and the time the Funds calculate net asset value: valued at fair value, as determined in good faith by the Funds’ investment adviser using guidelines adopted by the Funds’ Board of Trustees and the Pricing Committee. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued at fair value include: the security’s trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from a national exchange; the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; the security’s primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price, or certain foreign securities’ closing market prices adjusted for changes in value that may occur between the close of foreign exchange and the time at which Fund shares are priced. The Board of Trustees regularly reviews fair value determinations, made by the Funds, pursuant to the procedures. |
|
| • | 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 an independent bond-pricing service. |
26
Laudus Mondrian Funds
Financial Notes (continued)
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
| | |
| • | Futures and forwards currency contracts: valued at their settlement prices as of the close of their exchanges (for futures) or at a market value based on that day’s exchange rates (for forwards). When a Fund closes out a futures or 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. |
|
| • | Short-term securities (60 days or less to maturity): valued at amortized cost (which approximates market value). |
|
| • | Mutual funds: valued at their respective net asset values as determined by those Funds in accordance with the 1940 Act for a given day. |
(b) Portfolio Investments:
Delayed-Delivery: The Funds may buy securities on a delayed-delivery basis. In these transactions, the Funds agree to buy a security for a stated price, with settlement generally occurring within two weeks. If the security’s value falls before settlement occurs, the Funds could end up paying more for the security than its market value at the time of settlement. The Funds have set aside sufficient securities as collateral for those securities bought on a delayed-delivery basis.
Futures Contract: The Funds may invest in futures contracts. Futures contracts involve certain risks because they can be very sensitive to market movements.
One risk is that the price of a futures contract may not move in perfect correlation with the price of the underlying securities. Another risk is that, at certain times, it may be impossible for a Fund to close out a position in a futures contract, due to a difference in trading hours or to market conditions that may reduce the liquidity for a futures contract or its underlying securities. The potential for losses associated with futures contracts may exceed amounts recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Because futures carry inherent risks, a Fund must give the broker a deposit of cash and/or securities (the “initial margin”) whenever it enters into the futures contract. The amount of the deposit may vary from one contract to another, but it is generally a percentage of the contract amount.
Futures are traded publicly on exchanges, and their market value changes daily. A Fund records the change daily in market value of futures, and also the change in the amount of margin deposit required (“due to/from broker”).
Forward Currency Contract: The Funds may invest in forward currency contracts in connection with the purchase and sale of portfolio securities to minimize the uncertainty of changes in future foreign currency exchange rates. “Forwards”, as they are known, are contracts to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. Forwards are similar to futures except that they are not publicly traded, but are agreements directly between two parties.
As with futures, forwards involve certain risks that are not fully reflected in the Funds’ financial statements. If counter-parties to the contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably, the Funds could sustain a loss.
Repurchase Agreement: The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements. In a repurchase agreement, a Fund buys a security from another party (usually a financial institution) with the agreement that it be sold back in the future. The date, price and other conditions are all specified when the agreement is created.
The Funds’ repurchase agreements will be fully collateralized by U.S. government securities or U.S. Government Agency securities. All collateral is held by the Funds’ custodian (or, with tri-party agreements, the agent’s bank) and is monitored daily to ensure that its market value is at least equal to the repurchase price under the agreement.
(c) Security Transactions:
Security transactions are recorded as of the date the order to buy or sell the security is executed. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are based on the identified costs of the securities involved.
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are reported in U.S. dollars. For assets and liabilities held on a given date, the dollar value is based on market exchange rates in effect on that date. Transactions involving foreign currencies,
27
Laudus Mondrian Funds
Financial Notes (continued)
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
including purchases, sales, income receipts and expense payments, are calculated using exchange rates in effect on the transaction date.
(d) Investment Income:
Interest income is recorded as it accrues. Dividends and distributions from portfolio securities and underlying mutual 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.
(e) Expenses:
Expenses that are specific to a Fund or a class within the trust are charged directly to that Fund or class. 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 its net assets.
(f) Distributions to Shareholders:
The Funds make distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains once a year with the exception of Laudus Mondrian International Fixed Income Fund which pays quarterly dividends.
(g) Custody Credit:
Each Fund has an arrangement with its custodian bank under which the Fund receives 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.
(h) Accounting Estimates:
The accounting policies described in this report conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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.
(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.
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 also keeps certain assets in segregated accounts, as may be required by securities law.
(j) Indemnification:
Under the Funds’ organizational documents, the officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business the Funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
(k) New Accounting Standards:
Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation (FIN) No. 48—Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of SFAS No. 109, was issued in July 2006 and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. This Interpretation provides new requirements for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure in the financial statements of a tax

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return when there is uncertainty about whether that tax position will ultimately be sustained. As of March 31, 2008, management has reviewed the tax positions for the current tax year (November 2, 2007 through March 31, 2008), and determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. As of March 31, 2008, management does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will impact the financial statement; however, additional disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of the measurements on changes in net assets for the period.
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about Funds’ derivative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS 161 on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.
3. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions:
The Trust’s Board of Trustees oversees the general conduct of the Trust and the Funds.
Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (”CSIM” or the “Investment Adviser”), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Charles Schwab Corporation, serves as the Funds’ investment adviser pursuant to Management Contracts (“Advisory Agreement”) between it 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.
For its advisory services to each Fund, the Investment Adviser is entitled to receive an annual fee payable monthly base on the Funds’ average daily net assets described as follows.
| | |
| | Agreement Rate* |
|
Laudus Mondrian Emerging Markets Fund | | 1st $1 billion - 1.20% |
Laudus Mondrian International Fixed Income Fund | | Over $1 billion - 1.15% 0.60% |
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, 2010, 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 generally accepted accounting principles, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Funds’ business as follows:

4. | Other 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. serves as the Distributor. 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 Class assets of the Funds, financial intermediaries that provide sub-accounting and sub-transfer agency services in connection with Investor or Select Class shares of the Funds an amount up to 0.15% of the average daily net assets of that class on an annual basis.
Trustees may include people who are officers and/or directors of other fund families managed by the Investment Adviser. Federal securities law limits the percentage of the “interested persons” who may serve on a trust’s board, and the Laudus Funds are in compliance with these limitations. The Funds did not pay any of these persons for their service as trustees, but did pay non-interested persons (Independent Trustees), as noted in each Fund’s Statement of Operations.
A Retirement Plan was instituted for certain Independent Trustees of the Trust. In September 2006 the Trustees voted to close the Retirement Plan to new participants as of June 26, 2006 and to discontinue making contributions to the Retirement Plan after the plan year ending March 31, 2007. All other terms of the Retirement Plan, including without limitation provisions relating to vesting and payment upon termination of service, remain in effect. Under the terms of the Retirement Plan, upon retirement or other termination from service from the Trust (other than termination for cause), a retiring Independent Trustee who has served as Independent Trustee for at least five years shall be paid a lump sum cash payment (the “Retirement Payment”). The Retirement Payment shall be equal to $10,000 for each year that the Trustee has served as an Independent Trustee of the Trust, including years of service prior to the adoption of the Retirement Plan and including a final one-half year credit for service during the plan year ending March 31, 2007. Beginning April 1, 2005, each Independent Trustee was permitted to make a one-time election to have the $10,000 attributable to service for the coming year and previously accrued benefits adjusted up or down at the end of each subsequent year based on the unweighted average performance of Institutional Shares of each Fund of the Trust. After the closure of the Retirement Plan, the previously accrued benefits that an Independent Trustee had elected to have adjusted by the performance of the Funds would continue to be adjusted for performance as provided under the Retirement Plan. As a result, the amount of the Retirement Payment payable to any Independent Trustee may increase or decrease based upon performance of the Funds. The portion of the total Retirement Payment owed to an Independent Trustee upon his or her retirement that is payable by any Fund will be determined based on the relative net assets of the Funds of the Trust. The Trust did not pay any pension or retirement benefits for its Trustees.
The Laudus Mondrian Emerging Markets Fund and Laudus Mondrian International Fixed Income Fund has access to an uncommitted line of credit up to a maximum of $100,000,000, as established by State Street Corporation. Interest is calculated based on the market rates at the time of borrowing. There were no borrowings from the line of credit for the period ended March 31, 2008.

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, unrealized appreciation of certain investments in non-U.S. securities; paydowns on fixed-income securities; investments in passive foreign investment companies and income on certain investments. 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 each Fund for financial reporting purposes. Each Fund may also designate a portion of the amount paid to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for tax purposes.
The permanent book and tax basis differences may result in reclassifications between capital account and other accounts as required. The adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. As of March 31, 2008, the Funds made the following reclassifications:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of:
Laudus Mondrian Emerging Markets Fund
Laudus Mondrian International Fixed Income Fund
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including 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 Emerging Markets Fund and Laudus Mondrian International Fixed Income Fund (the “Funds”) at March 31, 2008, and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for the period November 2, 2007 (commencement of operations) through March 31, 2008, 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 audits 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, 2008 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval
The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) requires that initial approval of, as well as the continuation of, a fund’s investment advisory agreements must be specifically approved (1) by the vote of the trustees or by a vote of the shareholders of the fund, and (2) by the vote of a majority of the trustees who are not parties to the investment advisory agreement or “interested persons” of any party (the “Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. In connection with such approvals, the fund’s trustees must request and evaluate, and the investment adviser is required to furnish, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the advisory agreements. In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission takes the position that, as part of their fiduciary duties with respect to fund fees, fund boards are required to evaluate the material factors applicable to a decision to approve an investment advisory agreement.
Consistent with these responsibilities, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) called and held a meeting on September 28, 2007, in part, for the purpose of considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreements between Laudus Trust (the “Trust”) and Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (“CSIM”), and the sub-advisory agreements between CSIM and Mondrian Investment Partners Limited (“Mondrian”) (such investment advisory and sub-advisory agreement, collectively, the “Agreements”) with respect to Laudus Mondrian Emerging Markets Fund and Laudus Mondrian International Fixed Income Fund. In preparation for the meeting, the Board requested and reviewed a variety of materials provided by CSIM and Mondrian with respect to the services to be provided to the funds under the Agreements, including information about their affiliates, personnel and operations. In recognition of the fact that the funds had not yet commenced operations, the Board also considered information provided by CSIM in connection with the Board’s consideration of approval or renewal of the investment advisory agreements with respect to the other funds within the Trust. The Board also took into account the detailed information about other funds within the Trust that the Board reviews during the course of the year, including information that relates to operations and performance of these other funds. The trustees also received a memorandum from fund counsel regarding the responsibilities of trustees for the approval of investment advisory contracts. In addition, the Independent Trustees received advice from independent counsel to the Independent Trustees, met in executive session outside the presence of fund management and participated in question and answer sessions with representatives of CSIM and Mondrian, as appropriate.
The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees approved the Agreements with respect to the funds for a two year term. The Board’s approval of the Agreements was based on consideration and evaluation of a variety of specific factors discussed at the meeting, and at prior meetings, including:
| |
1. | the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the funds under the Agreements, including the resources of CSIM and its affiliates and Mondrian, dedicated to the funds; |
|
2. | Mondrian’s investment performance in managing other funds and/or accounts having relevant investment objectives and strategies; |
|
3. | the funds’ estimated expenses and how those expenses compared to those of certain other comparable mutual funds; |
|
4. | the profitability of CSIM and its affiliates, including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), with respect to other funds, including both direct and indirect benefits accruing to CSIM and its affiliates, as well as the profitability of Mondrian; and |
|
5. | the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the funds grow, and whether fee levels in the Agreements relating to the funds reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of fund investors. |
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by CSIM to the funds and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates will dedicate to the funds. In this regard, the trustees evaluated, among other things, CSIM’s personnel, experience, track record and compliance program. The trustees have also considered Schwab’s excellent reputation in connection with the OneSource mutual fund offering and its overall financial condition, and how this affects the success of such funds. The Board has also considered the nature, extent and quality of the sub-advisory services provided by Mondrian to such funds and the resources it dedicates to such funds. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by CSIM and Mondrian to the funds and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the funds supported approval of the Agreements with respect to the funds.
Fund Performance. With regard to fund performance, since the funds had not commenced operations and therefore did
35
not have any performance of their own, the Board considered performance of other funds and/or accounts having comparable investment objectives and strategies in determining whether to approve the Agreements. For example, the Board considered Mondrian’s performance in managing other similar funds and/or accounts. The trustees also considered both risk and shareholder risk expectations for the funds and the appropriateness of the benchmark that would be used to compare the performance of the funds. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the performance of CSIM and Mondrian supported approval of the Agreements with respect to the funds.
Fund Expenses. With respect to the funds’ expenses, the trustees considered the rate of compensation with respect to the funds called for by the Agreements, and the funds’ net operating expense ratio in comparison to those of other comparable mutual funds. The trustees also considered information about average expense ratios of comparable mutual funds in the funds’ expected peer group. Finally, the trustees considered the effects of CSIM’s waiver of management fees to prevent total fund expenses from exceeding a specified cap. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the expenses of the funds are reasonable and supported approval of the Agreements with respect to the funds.
Profitability. With regard to profitability, the trustees considered the compensation flowing to CSIM and its affiliates, directly or indirectly. In this connection, the trustees considered information that was previously provided by CSIM with respect to other funds it manages regarding profitability and how this information might reasonably be expected to be predictive of profitability to CSIM under the Agreements with respect to the funds. The trustees also considered any other benefits derived by CSIM from its relationship with the funds, such as whether, by virtue of its management of the funds, CSIM obtains investment information or other research resources that aid it in providing advisory services to other clients. With respect to CSIM and Mondrian, and their respective affiliates, the trustees considered whether the varied levels of compensation and profitability under the Agreements and other service agreements were reasonable and justified in light of the quality of all services rendered to each fund. The Board also considered the profitability of Mondrian with respect to the sub-advisory services it provides to the funds, although it also considered that Mondrian is compensated by CSIM, and not by such funds directly, and such compensation reflects arms-length negotiation between the parties. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the expected profitability of CSIM and Mondrian, albeit uncertain, is reasonable and supported approval of the Agreements with respect to the funds.
Economies of Scale. Recognizing that the funds had not yet commenced operations and had no assets, the trustees considered the possible development of any economies of scale and whether those could be expected to be passed along to the funds’ shareholders through a graduated investment advisory fee schedule or other means, including any fee waivers by CSIM and its affiliates. In this regard, and consistent with their consideration of fund expenses, the trustees considered that CSIM has committed resources to minimize the effects on shareholders of diseconomies of scale during periods when fund assets are relatively small through their contractual expense waivers that may only be amended or terminated with the approval of the Board. For example, such diseconomies of scale typically affect new funds, but shareholders may benefit from the continued availability of such funds at subsidized expense levels. The trustees also considered CSIM’s agreement to contractual investment advisory fee schedules that includes lower fees at higher graduated asset levels. Based on this evaluation, and in consideration of the commitments made by CSIM as discussed above, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the funds may be expected to obtain reasonable benefit from economies of scale if such economies develop.
In the course of their deliberations, the trustees did not identify any particular information or factor that was all-important or controlling. Based on the trustees’ deliberation and their evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the Agreements as they relate to the funds and concluded that the compensation with respect to the funds under the Agreements is fair and reasonable in light of such services and expenses and such other matters as the trustees have considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment.
