2 Schwab Monthly Income Funds
From the President
Randall W. Merk is President and CEO of Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. and the funds covered in this report.
Dear Shareholder,
Even though U.S. and global economies have experienced modest improvements in the last six months, they remain in a state of uncertainty. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) reflected this in its comments on June 23, 2010, when it reported that “financial conditions have become less supportive of economic growth on balance, largely reflecting developments abroad.”
Developments abroad included several countries in the European Union reaching a crisis point in May after their sovereign debt was downgraded which caused global equity markets to decline significantly.
In domestic markets, bonds generally produced positive returns whereas stocks produced negative returns. In the first six months of 2010 the Monthly Income Funds, while posting positive returns for the six-month reporting period, underperformed their respective benchmarks. The Moderate Payout Fund returned 0.09%, the Enhanced Payout Fund returned 1.62%, and the Maximum Payout Fund returned 2.96%. For a more detailed discussion of fund performance, please refer to the fund manager’s discussion and analysis on the following pages.
The Monthly Income Funds are intended to meet the income needs of investors by making monthly payments from net investment income rather than investor capital. As intended, each payment made by the funds during the period was made from net investment income, and there was no return of capital. While reinvestment of monthly income payments is possible, the funds are designed with the expectation that the monthly payments will be distributed to shareholders.
If you would like to talk with us about Schwab Funds, we are always available at 1-800-435-4000, and additional resources may be found on schwab.com.
Thank you for investing with us.
Sincerely,
Schwab Monthly Income Funds 3
The Investment Environment
The pace of the U.S. economy’s recovery remained uneven during the six-month period. The Federal Reserve (Fed) recently reported that the “the economic recovery is proceeding” and that “the labor market is improving gradually,” but challenges remain. With the labor market improving gradually, spending by consumers and businesses also inched upward. However, these mild advances were constrained by a national unemployment rate that hovered around 10% and a housing market that continued to struggle. Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, another market indicator, increased by 2.7% for the first quarter of 2010, which contrasted with its increase of 5.6% for the fourth quarter of 2009. GDP is the output of goods and services produced by labor and property in the United States.
At the international level, financial markets fluctuated during the reporting period. In Europe, sovereign debt obligations reached unprecedented levels, and were followed by downgrades in the ratings of many foreign credit securities. The news caused temporary turmoil in the U.S. and global financial markets in early May. While the markets have seen some recovery to pre-May levels, central banks remain attentive to debt ratios, monetary exchange rates, interest rates, and inflation measurements.
The U.S. equity markets outperformed international equity markets during the six-month period, however both had negative returns. For example, the S&P 500® Index, which is usually seen as a bellwether for domestic financial markets, returned −6.65%. All sectors in the S&P 500 had negative returns. For the international equity markets, the MSCI EAFE Index (Gross) returned −12.93%.
In the U.S. fixed income markets, accommodative Federal Reserve policy in the form of a near-zero federal funds rate continued, and recent statements from the Fed affirmed that rates will remain low “for an extended period.” In addition, the euro-debt concerns that crystallized in May put downward pressure on U.S. Treasury rates for intermediate- and longer-term bonds. During this time, investors sought a safe haven in U.S. Treasuries, causing prices to increase and yields to decrease to a range of two-to-three percent for the intermediate- and longer-term bonds.
The low interest rate environment, combined with a limited supply of short-term, high-quality taxable and tax-free credit securities, also suppressed short-term yields in the fixed income markets, to nearly zero percent. Securities normally purchased by money market funds were in short supply and had low rates of return.
Similar to the intermediate returns seen in U.S. Treasuries, returns for intermediate-term taxable securities, as reflected in the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Intermediate Bond Index, were positive and stood at 4.78% for the six-month period. On the tax-free side, returns were more modest. The Barclays Capital General Muni Bond Index returned 3.31% for the same time frame. Overall, the past six months were characterized by negative returns in the U.S. and international equity markets, with modest relief provided by the fixed income markets.

Schwab Monthly Income Funds 5
Schwab® Monthly Income Fund - Moderate Payout
The Schwab Monthly Income Funds (the funds) are designed to provide monthly income throughout the year while retaining the opportunity for growth to meet future income needs. In accordance with guidelines stated in the funds’ prospectus, the higher the targeted payout rate, the lower the growth potential of a particular fund. The funds invest primarily in a combination of Schwab Funds and Laudus Funds (the underlying funds)—including equity funds, fixed income funds, and money market funds—in accordance with their respective target asset allocation. Because each Monthly Income Fund is a fund-of-funds, its return will reflect a blend of returns of the underlying funds based on their relative weightings.
The Schwab Monthly Income Fund – Moderate Payout (the fund) returned 0.09% for the period that ended June 30, 2010, while its comparative index, the Moderate Payout Composite Index returned 0.61%. (For current allocations of the Moderate Payout Composite Index, please refer to footnote 3 on the following page.) The fund is designed to offer investors a targeted payout of 3–4% and an increase in capital over the long term that is expected to be greater than that of the Enhanced Payout Fund and the Maximum Payout Fund.* The fund seeks to maintain a target blend of 40% equity and 60% fixed income and money market funds.
The positive performance of the fund was primarily attributable to bond markets outpacing equity markets as investors’ risk appetite diminished during the period. For example, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which comprises 60% of the fund’s comparative index, returned 5.33%, while the S&P 500 Index, which comprises 40% of the fund’s comparative index, returned -6.65%. When looking at the fund’s top holdings, the Schwab Premier Income Fund returned 5.47%, benefitting from an increase in prices of higher-yielding fixed income securities. The Schwab Total Bond Market Fund and Schwab Short-Term Bond Market Fund also had positive performance for the period, returning 5.10% and 2.83%, respectively, as investors sought the safety of U.S. government and government agency securities.
On the equity side, U.S. and international markets faltered as concerns over the European debt crisis generated negative sentiment. The Schwab Dividend Equity Fund was the weakest performer among the fund’s top equity fund holdings, returning -7.19% during the period and underperforming its comparative index. The Schwab Global Real Estate Fund returned -4.84%, reflecting uncertainty about the global economic outlook despite signs of recovery earlier in the year.

Because each Monthly Income Fund is a fund-of-funds, its return will reflect a blend of returns of the underlying funds based on their relative weightings.
The Schwab Monthly Income Fund – Maximum Payout (the fund) returned 2.96% for the period that ended June 30, 2010, while its comparative index, the Maximum Payout Composite Index returned 4.16%.

All figures on this page assume dividends and distributions were reinvested. Index figures do not include trading and management costs, which would lower performance. Indices are unmanaged, and you cannot invest in them directly. Performance results less than one year are not annualized.

1 | | The fund’s routine expenses have been absorbed by CSIM and Schwab. Without these reductions, the fund’s returns would have been lower. These returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. |
2 | | Source for category information: Morningstar, Inc. |
3 | | The Maximum Payout Composite Index is a custom blended index developed by CSIM based on a comparable portfolio asset allocation and calculated using the following portion allocations: 10% S&P 500 Index and 90% Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. |
4 | | As stated in the prospectus. Includes expenses of the underlying funds in which the fund invests. The annualized weighted average expense ratio of the underlying funds was 0.61%. Net Expense: Expenses reduced by a contractual fee waiver for so long as CSIM serves as the adviser to the fund. Gross Expense: Does not reflect the effect of contractual fee waivers. For actual ratios during the period, refer to the financial highlights section in the financial statements. |

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 January 1, 2010 and held through June 30, 2010.
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.

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

The Schwab Monthly Income Funds are “fund of funds”. Each of the funds seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a combination of other Schwab and/or Laudus Funds and other unaffiliated, third-party mutual funds, in accordance with its target portfolio allocation. In addition, the funds may purchase individual securities to achieve their investment objectives. Each fund bears its share of the allocable expenses of the underlying funds in which they invest.
The funds offer one share class. Shares are bought and sold at closing net asset value (“NAV”), which is the price for all outstanding shares of the fund, as applicable. Each share has a par value of 1/1,000 of a cent, and the trustees may authorize the issuance of as many shares as necessary.
Each fund maintains its own account for purposes of holding assets and accounting, and is considered a separate entity for tax purposes. Within its account, each fund may also keep certain assets in segregated accounts, as required by securities laws.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies the funds use in their preparation of financial statements. The accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
(a) Security Valuation:
The funds value the securities in their portfolios every business day. The funds use the following policies to value various types of securities:
| | |
| • | Underlying funds: valued at their respective net asset values as determined by the underlying funds in accordance with the 1940 Act for a given day. |
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (level 3 measurements).
The funds adopted the authoritative guidance under GAAP on determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying transactions that are not orderly. Accordingly, if the funds determine that either the volume and/or level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased (from normal

Schwab Monthly Income Funds
Financial Notes, unaudited (continued)
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
conditions for that asset or liability) or price quotations or observable inputs are not associated with orderly transactions, increased analysis and management judgment will be required to estimate fair value.
The guidance establishes three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:
| | |
| • | Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities — Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equities. The funds do not adjust the quoted price for such instruments, even in situations where the funds hold a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted prices. |
|
| • | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) — Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but whose values are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified as Level 2 prices. These generally include U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, certain mortgage products, less liquid listed equities, and state, municipal and provincial obligations. In addition, international securities whose markets close hours before the funds value their holdings may require fair valuations due to significant movement in the U.S. markets occurring after the daily close of the foreign markets. The Board of Trustees has approved a vendor that would calculate fair valuations of international equity securities based on a number of factors that appear to correlate to the movements in the U.S. markets. As investments whose values are classified as Level 2 prices include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information. |
|
| • | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) — Investments whose values are classified as Level 3 prices have significant unobservable inputs, as they may trade infrequently or not at all. When observable prices are not available for these securities, the funds use one or more valuation techniques for which sufficient and reliable data is available. The inputs used by the funds in estimating the value of Level 3 prices may include the original transaction price, quoted prices for similar securities or assets in active markets, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows. Level 3 prices may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the funds in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the funds due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the funds’ results of operations. |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the funds’ investments as of June 30, 2010:

(a) | | As categorized in Portfolio Holdings. |
(b) 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.
(c) Investment Income:
Interest income is recorded as it accrues. Dividends and distributions from portfolio securities and underlying funds are recorded on the date they are effective (the ex-dividend date), although the funds record certain foreign security dividends on the day they learn of the ex-dividend date. Any distributions from underlying funds are recorded in accordance with the character of the distributions as designated by the underlying funds.
(d) Expenses:
Expenses that are specific to a fund are charged directly to the fund. Expenses that are common to all funds within the trust generally are allocated among the funds in proportion to their average daily net assets.
(e) Distributions to Shareholders:
The funds make distributions from net investment income, if any, to shareholders once a month. The funds make distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, once a year.
(f) Accounting Estimates:
The accounting policies described in this report conform to 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.
(g) 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.
(h) 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.

3. Risk Factors:
Asset allocation risk. The fund is subject to asset allocation risk, which is the risk that the selection of the underlying funds and the allocation of the fund’s assets among the various asset classes and market segments will cause the fund to underperform other funds with a similar investment objective.
Market risk. Stock and bond markets rise and fall daily. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of an investment in the fund will fluctuate, which means that an investor could lose money.
Structural risk. The fund’s monthly income payments will be made from fund assets and will reduce the amount of assets available for investment by the fund. Even if the fund’s capital grows over time, such growth may be insufficient to enable the fund to maintain the amount of its targeted annual payout and targeted monthly income payments. The fund’s investment losses may reduce the amount of future cash income payments you will receive from the fund. The dollar amount of the fund’s monthly income payments could vary substantially from one year to the next and over time depending on several factors, including the performance of the financial markets in which the fund invests, the allocation of fund assets across different asset classes and investments, the performance of the fund’s investment strategies, and the amount and timing of prior distributions by the fund. It is also possible for your income payments to go down substantially from one year to the next and over time depending on the timing of your investments in the fund. Any redemptions you make will proportionately reduce the amount of future cash income payments you will receive from the fund. There is no guarantee that the fund will make monthly income payments to its shareholders or, if made, that the fund’s monthly income payments to shareholders will remain at a fixed amount.
Underlying fund investment risk. The value of your investment in the fund is based primarily on the prices of the underlying funds that the fund purchases. In turn, the price of each underlying fund is based on the value of its securities. Before investing in the fund, investors should assess the risks associated with the underlying funds in which the fund may invest and the types of investments made by those underlying funds. These risks include any combination of the risks described below, although the fund’s exposure to a particular risk will be proportionate to the fund’s overall asset allocation and underlying fund allocation.
| | |
| • | Investment risk. An investment in an underlying fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The fund may experience losses with respect to its investment in an underlying fund. Further, there is no guarantee that an underlying fund will be able to achieve its objective. |
|
| • | Management risk. Generally, the underlying funds are actively managed mutual funds. Any actively managed mutual fund is subject to the risk that its investment adviser (or sub-adviser) will make poor security selections. An underlying fund’s adviser applies its own investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the fund, but there can be no guarantee that they will produce the desired results. |
|
| • | Equity risk. The prices of equity securities rise and fall daily. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, industries or the securities market as a whole. In addition, equity markets tend to move in cycles, which may cause stock prices to fall over short or extended periods of time. |
|
| • | Large-, mid- and small-cap risk. Stocks of different market capitalizations tend to go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. Historically, small- and mid-cap stocks tend to be more volatile than large-cap stocks, and small-cap stocks have been riskier than large and mid-cap stocks. During a period when stocks of a particular market capitalization fall behind other types of investments — bonds or stocks of another capitalization range, for instance — an underlying fund’s performance could be reduced to the extent its portfolio is holding stocks of the particular capitalization. |
|
| • | Fixed income risk. Interest rates rise and fall over time, which will affect an underlying fund’s yield and share price. The credit quality of a portfolio investment could also cause an underlying fund’s share price to fall. An underlying fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a portfolio investment or the counterparty to a derivatives contract fails to make timely principal or interest payments or otherwise honor its obligations. Fixed income securities may be paid off earlier or later than expected. Either situation could cause an underlying fund to hold securities paying lower than-market rates of interest, which could hurt the fund’s yield or share price. Below investment-grade bonds (junk bonds) involve greater |

3. Risk Factors (continued):
| | |
| | credit risk, are more volatile, involve greater risk of price declines and may be more susceptible to economic downturns than investment-grade securities. |
| | |
| • | Foreign investment risk. An underlying fund’s investments in securities of foreign issuers may involve certain risks that are greater than those associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These include risks of adverse changes in foreign economic, political, regulatory and other conditions; changes in currency exchange rates or exchange control regulations (including limitations on currency movements and exchanges); differing accounting, auditing, financial reporting and legal standards and practices; differing securities market structures; and higher transaction costs. These risks may be heightened in connection with investments in emerging markets. |
|
| • | Derivatives risk. An underlying fund’s use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments and could cause the fund to lose more than the principal amount invested. |
|
| • | Leverage risk. Certain underlying fund transactions, such as derivatives, short sales, reverse repurchase agreements, and mortgage dollar rolls, may give rise to a form of leverage and may expose a fund to greater risk. Leverage tends to magnify the effect of any decrease or increase in the value of an underlying fund’s portfolio securities, which means even a small amount of leverage can have a disproportionately larger impact on the fund. |
|
| • | Money market risk. Although an underlying money market fund seeks to maintain a stable $1 net asset value, it is possible to lose money by investing in a money market fund. In addition, a money market fund is not designed to offer capital appreciation. |
|
| • | Liquidity risk. A particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell. An underlying fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price. |
|
| • | Portfolio turnover risk. Certain of the underlying funds may buy and sell portfolio securities actively. If they do, their portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs will rise, which may lower the underlying fund’s performance and may increase the likelihood of capital gain distributions. |
|
| • | Exchange-traded fund (ETFs) risk. An underlying fund may purchase shares of ETFs to gain exposure to a particular portion of the market while awaiting an opportunity to purchase securities directly. When an underlying fund invests in an ETF, it will bear a proportionate share of the ETF’s expenses. In addition, lack of liquidity in an ETF can result in its value being more volatile than the underlying portfolio of securities. |
Direct investment risk. The fund may invest a portion of its assets directly in equity and fixed income securities, as well as other mutual funds to maintain its asset allocations. The fund’s direct investment in these securities is subject to the same or similar risks as an underlying fund’s investment in the same security.
Please refer to the funds’ prospectus for a more complete description of the principal risks of investing in the funds and the underlying funds.
4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions:
Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (“CSIM” or the “investment adviser”), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Charles Schwab Corporation, serves as each fund’s investment adviser and administrator pursuant to an Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement (“Advisory Agreement”) between it and the trust.
The Board of Trustees has adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan (the “Plan”) on behalf of the funds. The plan enables each fund to bear expenses relating to the provision by services providers, including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (a broker-dealer affiliate of CSIM, “Schwab”) of certain account maintenance, customer liaison and shareholder services to the current shareholders of the funds. The funds are not subject to any fees under the plan.
CSIM and Schwab have agreed with the funds to limit (“expense limitation”) the total annual fund operating expenses, excluding interest, taxes and certain non-routine expenses of the funds to 0.00% for so long as CSIM serves as the investment adviser to the funds, which may only be amended or terminated with the approval of the funds’ Board of Trustees.

4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions (continued):
The agreement to limit the funds’ total expenses charged is limited to each fund’s direct operating expenses and, therefore, does not apply to acquired fund fees and expenses, which are indirect expenses incurred by a fund through its investments in the underlying funds.
The funds may engage in certain transactions involving related parties. Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the funds may invest in other related funds. As of June 30, 2010, the percentages of shares of other related funds owned by each Monthly Income Fund are:

Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the funds may enter into interfund borrowing and lending transactions with other Schwab Funds. All loans are for temporary or emergency purposes only. The interest rate charged on the loan is the

average of the overnight repurchase agreement rate and the short-term bank loan rate. The interfund lending facility is subject to the oversight and periodic review of the Board of Trustees of the Schwab Funds. The funds had no interfund borrowing or lending activity during the period.
5. Board of Trustees:
Trustees may include people who are officers and/or directors of the investment adviser or Schwab. Federal securities law limits the percentage of such “interested persons” who may serve on a trust’s board, and the trust was in compliance with these limitations throughout the report period. The trust did not pay any of these persons for their service as trustees, but it did pay non-interested persons (independent trustees), as noted in each fund’s Statement of Operations.
6. Borrowing from Banks:
The funds may borrow money from banks and custodians. The funds have custodian overdraft facilities, a committed line of credit of $150 million with State Street Bank and Trust Company, an uncommitted line of credit of $100 million with Bank of America, N.A. and an uncommitted line of credit of $50 million with Brown Brothers Harriman. The funds pay interest on the amounts they borrow at rates that are negotiated periodically. The funds also pay an annual fee to State Street Bank and Trust Company for the committed line of credit.
There were no borrowings from the lines of credit during the period. However, the funds utilized their overdraft facility and incurred interest expense, which is disclosed in the Statement of Operations, if any. The interest expense is determined based on a negotiated rate above the current Federal Funds Rate.
7. Purchases and Sales of Investment Securities:
For the period ended June 30, 2010, purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term obligations) were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Purchases of Securities | | Sales/Maturities of Securities |
|

As of December 31, 2009, management has reviewed the tax positions for open periods (for federal purposes, three years from the date of filing and for state purposes, four years from the date of filing) as applicable to the funds, and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the funds’ financial statements. The funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period ended December 31, 2009, the funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The funds are not subject to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities for tax years before 2008.

Schwab Monthly Income Funds
Financial Notes, unaudited (continued)
9. Reorganization:
Under a plan of reorganization adopted by the trust, all of the assets and liabilities of the Schwab Retirement Income Fund were transferred to the Schwab Monthly Income Fund-Enhanced Payout. The purpose of the transaction was to combine two funds managed by CSIM with comparable investment objectives and strategies. The reorganization, which qualified as a tax-free exchange for federal income tax purposes, was completed at the close of business on June 16, 2009 with capital losses acquired of $6,626,521. The following is a summary of shares outstanding, net assets, net asset value per share issued and unrealized appreciation/ depreciation immediately before and after the reorganization.

Assuming the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2009, the beginning of the annual reporting period of Schwab Monthly Income Funds, Schwab Monthly Income Fund — Enhanced Payout’s pro forma results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009, are as follows:
| | | | |
Net investment income | | | $2,768,190 | |
Net realized/unrealized gain (loss) on investments | | | $4,431,863 | |
Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations | | | $7,200,053 | |
Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of Schwab Retirement Income Fund that have been included in Schwab Monthly Income Fund — Enhanced Payout’s Statement of Operations since June 16, 2009.

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 agreement 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 investment advisory agreement.
The Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”, as appropriate) calls and holds one or more meetings each year that are dedicated, in whole or in part, to considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreement between Schwab Capital Trust (the “Trust”) and Charles Schwab Investment Management Inc., (“CSIM”) (the “Agreement”) with respect to the existing funds in the Trust, including Schwab Monthly Income Fund—Moderate Payout, Schwab Monthly Income Fund—Enhanced Payout and Schwab Monthly Income Fund—Maximum Payout, and to review certain other agreements pursuant to which CSIM provides investment advisory services to certain other registered investment companies. In preparation for the meeting(s), the Board requests and reviews a wide variety of materials provided by CSIM, including information about CSIM’s affiliates, personnel and operations. The Board also receives extensive data provided by third parties. This information is in addition to the detailed information about the funds that the Board reviews during the course of each year, including information that relates to fund operations and fund performance. The Independent Trustees receive advice from independent counsel to the Independent Trustees, including a memorandum regarding the responsibilities of trustees for the approval of investment advisory agreements. In addition, the Independent Trustees meet in executive session outside the presence of fund management and participate in question and answer sessions with representatives of CSIM.
The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered information specifically relating to its consideration of the continuance of the Agreement with respect to the funds at meetings held on April 28, 2010, and June 3, 2010, and approved the renewal of the Agreement with respect to the funds for an additional one year term at the meeting held on June 3, 2010. The Board’s approval of the Agreement with respect to the funds was based on consideration and evaluation of a variety of specific factors discussed at these meetings and at prior meetings, including:
| |
1. | the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the funds under the Agreement, including the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the funds; |
|
2. | each fund’s investment performance and how it compared to that of certain other comparable mutual funds; |
|
3. | each fund’s 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 each fund, including both direct and indirect benefits accruing to CSIM and its affiliates; and |
|
5. | the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the funds grow and whether fee levels in the Agreement 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 provided by CSIM to the funds and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the funds. In this regard, the Trustees evaluated, among other things, CSIM’s personnel, experience, track record and compliance program. The Trustees also considered Schwab’s wide range of products, services, and channel alternatives such as free advice, investment research tools and Internet access and an array of account features that benefit the funds and their shareholders. The Trustees also considered Schwab’s excellent reputation as a full service brokerage firm and its overall financial condition. Finally, the Trustees considered that the vast majority of the funds’ shareholders are also brokerage clients of Schwab. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by CSIM to the funds and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the funds supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the funds.
Fund Performance. The Board considered the funds’ performance in determining whether to renew the Agreement with respect to the funds. Specifically, the Trustees considered each fund’s performance relative to a peer category of other mutual funds and appropriate indices/benchmarks, in light of total return, yield, if applicable, and market trends. As part of this review, the Trustees considered the composition of the peer category, selection criteria and the reputation of the third party who prepared the peer category analysis. In evaluating the performance of each fund, the Trustees considered both risk and shareholder risk expectations for such fund and the appropriateness of the benchmark used to
38
compare the performance of each fund. The Trustees further considered the level of fund performance in the context of its review of fund expenses and adviser profitability discussed below. Following such evaluation the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the performance of the funds supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the funds.
Fund Expenses. With respect to the funds’ expenses, the Trustees considered the rate of compensation called for by the Agreement, and each fund’s net operating expense ratio, in each case, in comparison to those of other comparable mutual funds, such peer groups and comparisons having been selected and calculated by an independent third party. The Trustees considered the effects of CSIM’s and Schwab’s historical practice of voluntarily waiving management and other fees to prevent total fund expenses from exceeding a specified cap. The Trustees considered a commitment by CSIM to (i) extend the voluntary cap for so long as CSIM serves as the adviser to the funds and (ii) reduce the management fees and specified caps on certain of the underlying funds invested in by the funds. The Trustees also considered that CSIM is not charging any management fees at the fund level; it being understood that there is a management fee at the underlying fund level. The Trustees also considered fees charged by CSIM to other mutual funds and to other types of accounts, such as wrap accounts, but, with respect to such other types of accounts, accorded less weight to such comparisons due to the different legal, regulatory, compliance and operating features of mutual funds as compared to these other types of accounts. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the expenses of the funds are reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreement 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 reviewed management’s profitability analyses, together with certain commentary thereon from an independent accounting firm. 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. The Trustees considered whether the varied levels of compensation and profitability with respect to the funds under the Agreement and other service agreements were reasonable and justified in light of the quality of all services rendered to each fund by CSIM and its affiliates. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the profitability of CSIM is reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the funds.
Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered the existence of any economies of scale and whether those are passed along to a fund’s 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 and Schwab have previously committed resources to minimize the effects on shareholders of diseconomies of scale during periods when fund assets were relatively small through their contractual expense waivers. For example, such diseconomies of scale may particularly affect newer funds or funds with investment strategies that are from time to time out of favor, but shareholders may benefit from the continued availability of such funds at subsidized expense levels. The Trustees also considered CSIM’s contractual investment advisory fee schedules with respect to the funds that include lower fees at higher graduated asset levels. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the funds obtain reasonable benefit from economies of scale.
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, approved the continuation of the Agreement with respect to the funds and concluded that the compensation under the Agreement with respect to the funds 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.

Glossary
asset allocation The practice of dividing a portfolio among different asset classes, with each asset class assigned a particular percentage.
asset class A group of securities with similar structure and basic characteristics. Stocks, bonds and cash are the three main examples of asset classes.
beta A historical measure of an investment’s volatility relative to a market index (usually the S&P 500®). The index is defined as having a beta of 1.00. Investments with a beta higher than 1.00 have been more volatile than the index; those with a beta of less than 1.00 have been less volatile.
bond A security representing a loan from the investor to the issuer. A bond typically pays interest at a fixed rate (the “coupon rate”) until a specified date (the “maturity date”), at which time the issuer returns the money borrowed (“principal” or “face value”) to the bondholder. Because of their structure, bonds are sometimes called “fixed income securities” or “debt securities.”
An individual bond is subject to the credit risk of the issuer. Changes in interest rates can affect a bond’s market value prior to call or maturity. There is no guarantee that a bond’s yield to call or maturity will provide a positive return over the rate of inflation.
bond fund A bond fund is subject to the same credit, interest rate, and inflation risks as bonds. In addition, a bond fund incurs ongoing fees and expenses. A bond fund’s net asset value will fluctuate with the price of the underlying bonds and the portfolio turnover activity; return of principal is not guaranteed.
cap, capitalization See “market cap.”
capital gain, capital loss the difference between the amount paid for an investment and its value at a later time. If the investment has been sold, the capital gain or loss is considered a realized gain or loss. If the investment is still held, the gain or loss is still “on paper” and is considered unrealized.
earnings growth rate For a mutual fund, the average yearly rate at which the earnings of the companies in the fund’s portfolio have grown, measured over the past five years.
earnings per share (EPS) A company’s earnings, or net income, for the past 12 months, divided by the number of shares outstanding.
expense ratio The amount that is taken from a mutual fund’s assets each year to cover the fund’s operating expenses. An expense ratio of 0.50% means that a fund’s expenses amount to half of one percent of its average net assets a year.
market cap, market capitalization The value of a company as determined by the total value of all shares of its stock outstanding.
median market cap The midpoint of the range of market caps of the stocks held by a fund. There are different ways of calculating median market cap. With a simple median, half of the stocks in the fund’s portfolio would be larger than the median, and half would be smaller. With a weighted median (the type that is calculated for these funds), half of the fund’s assets are invested in stocks that are larger than the median market cap, and half in stocks that are smaller.
net asset value (NAV) The value of one share of a mutual fund. NAV is calculated by taking the fund’s total assets, subtracting liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding.
outstanding shares, shares outstanding When speaking of a company or mutual fund, indicates all shares currently held by investors.
price-to-book ratio (P/B) The market price of a company’s stock compared with its “book value.” A mutual fund’s P/B is the weighted average of the P/B of all stocks in the fund’s portfolio.
price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) The market price of a company’s stock compared with earnings over the past year. A mutual fund’s P/E is the weighted average of the P/E of all stocks in the fund’s portfolio.
return on equity (ROE) The average yearly rate of return for each dollar of investors’ money, measured over the past five years.
stock A share of ownership, or equity, in the issuing company.
total return The percentage that an investor would have earned or lost on an investment in the fund assuming dividends and distributions were reinvested.
weighted average For mutual funds, an average that gives the same weight to each security as the security represents in the fund’s portfolio.
yield The income paid out by an investment, expressed as a percentage of the investment’s market value.
