From the President

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

Dear Shareholder,

As President and CEO of Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM), I’d like to thank you for trusting us to help you meet your investment objectives, and for reading this important report concerning the Schwab Monthly Income Funds. These three funds are part of CSIM’s line-up of core investment products and seek to provide shareholders with current income, while capital appreciation represents a secondary objective. Each fund invests in a combination of Schwab Funds and Laudus Funds, with different asset allocation guidelines and annual income payout targets.

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2012, the funds’ investments in equity funds generated more income than the funds’ investments in fixed-income funds, reflecting low interest rates, companies holding a record amount of cash, and higher stock dividends. As a result, the Schwab Monthly Income Fund—Moderate Payout had the highest annual income payout of the three funds, reflecting its larger allocation to equity funds.

In general, stocks in the U.S. and overseas provided very strong performances. U.S. stocks benefited from the low interest rate environment and an improving economic outlook toward year-end, while overseas stocks rallied as European legislators made progress toward resolving the euro zone’s sovereign debt crisis. Reflecting this environment, the MSCI EAFE Index returned 17.9% for the report period, and the S&P 500 Index returned 16.0%.

U.S. bonds generally outperformed international bonds. Lackluster economic growth led many central banks across the globe to try to improve their

Schwab Monthly Income Funds 5

Schwab^® Monthly Income Fund – Moderate Payout

The Schwab Monthly Income Funds (the funds) seek to provide current income, with capital appreciation as a secondary investment objective. The funds primarily invest in a fund-of-funds structure that involves holding equity, fixed-income, and money market funds selected from within the Schwab Funds and Laudus Funds complex, but they may buy individual securities and unaffiliated funds to accomplish these objectives. Holdings are based on each fund’s target asset allocation, with returns reflecting the combined performance and respective weightings of the underlying investments.

The Schwab Monthly Income Fund—Moderate Payout (the fund) is designed to offer investors a targeted annual payout of 3% to 4%* and an increase in capital over the long term. The fund uses the internally calculated Moderate Payout Composite Index (the composite index) as a performance gauge; it comprises a 60% weighting in the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and a 40% weighting in the S&P 500 Index.

The fund’s payout yield was 2.58% for the year ended December 31, 2012, generally in line with the investment adviser’s expectations in the low interest rate environment. Investors received an additional end-of-year payment in December that was derived from net investment income, rather than from investor capital. For the 12-month reporting period, the fund’s total return was 8.86%, while the composite index returned 8.95%.

Market Highlights. Despite continued anxiety over anemic worldwide and U.S. growth, most stock market indices posted double-digit gains in 2012. U.S. large-cap equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, returned 16.00%. U.S. small-cap stocks fared slightly better, with the Russell 2000 Index returning 16.35%. International stocks, represented by the MSCI EAFE Index, returned 17.90%. With the Federal Reserve reaffirming its commitment to keep interest rates low, returns on bonds were modest. The broad U.S. bond market, as measured by the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 4.21%. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), as measured by the Barclays U.S. TIPS Index, returned 6.98%. Yields continued to slide, with Treasury yields falling to their lowest levels in history. As of year-end, the yield on the bellwether 10-year Treasury note stood at 1.76%.

Positioning and Strategies. Although the fund’s allocations to equities and fixed income vary within certain established parameters, they were broadly aligned with those of the composite index.

The fund’s equity and fixed-income exposures all generated positive returns for the reporting period, although one of the fund’s equity positions and all of its fixed-income positions underperformed their respective components of the comparative index, detracting from relative performance.

On the fixed-income side, although each of the fund’s positions generated positive returns, they all underperformed the composite index’s fixed-income component, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 4.21%. The largest detractor from relative return was the Schwab Short-Term Bond Market Fund, which returned 1.84%. The Schwab Intermediate-Term Bond Fund also detracted from relative performance, returning 3.32%. The strongest contributor to performance among the fund’s fixed-income positions was the Schwab Total Bond Market Fund, which returned 3.80% for the period.

On the equity side, three of the fund’s four positions outperformed the composite index’s equity component, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 16.00%. The top contributor was the fund’s position in the Schwab Global Real Estate Fund, which returned 25.57%. Although it was the next-largest contributor to total return, the Schwab Dividend Equity Fund—the fund’s largest equity position—returned 12.28%, underperforming the S&P 500 Index and detracting from relative performance. The fund’s positions in the Laudus International MarketMasters Fund, Select Shares, and the Laudus Growth Investors U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund contributed positively to both absolute and relative performance, returning 23.39% and 18.16%, respectively.

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 six months beginning July 1, 2012 and held through December 31, 2012.

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.

Schwab Monthly Income Funds

Financial Notes

1. Business Structure of the Funds:

Each of the funds discussed 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 as of the end of the period, 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. Each fund may also invest directly in equity and fixed income securities, cash and cash equivalents, including money market securities, and futures. Each fund bears its share of the allocable expenses of the underlying funds in which they invest.

Each fund in this report offers one share class. Shares are bought and sold at closing net asset value per share (“NAV”), which is the price for all outstanding shares of the funds. Each share has a par value of 1/1,000 of a cent, and the funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”) 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 law.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies the funds use in their preparation of financial statements. The accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). For more information about the underlying funds’ operations and policies, please refer to those funds’ semiannual and annual reports, which are filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

(a) Security Valuation:

Under procedures approved by the Board, the investment adviser has formed a Pricing Committee to administer the pricing and valuation of portfolio securities and other assets and to ensure that prices used for internal purposes or provided by third parties reasonably reflect fair market value. Among other things, these procedures allow the funds to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers and other market sources to determine fair value.

The funds value the securities in their portfolios every business day. The funds use the following policies to value various types of securities:


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

	•	Securities for which no quoted value is available: The Board has adopted procedures to fair value each fund’s securities when market prices are not “readily available” or are unreliable. For example, a fund may fair value a security when it is de-listed or its trading is halted or suspended; when a security’s primary pricing source is unable or unwilling to provide a

Schwab Monthly Income Funds

Financial Notes (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):


		price; or when a security’s primary trading market is closed during regular market hours. Each fund makes fair value determinations in good faith in accordance with the fund’s valuation procedures. The Pricing Committee considers a number of factors, including unobservable market inputs when arriving at fair value. The Pricing Committee may employ techniques such as the review of related or comparable assets or liabilities, related market activities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, transactional back-testing, disposition analysis and other relevant information. The Pricing Committee regularly reviews these inputs and assumptions to calibrate the valuations. The Board convenes on a regular basis to review fair value determinations made by the funds pursuant to the procedures.


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

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). If the funds determine that either the volume and/or level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased (from normal conditions for that asset or liability) or price quotations or observable inputs are not associated with orderly transactions, increased analysis and management judgment will be required to estimate fair value.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:


	•	Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities — Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equities. Investments in underlying funds are valued at their NAV daily and are classified as Level 1 prices.

	•	Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) — Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but whose values are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified as Level 2 prices. These generally include U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, certain mortgage products, less liquid listed equities, and state, municipal and provincial obligations. 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 levels associated with valuing the funds’ investments as of December 31, 2012 are disclosed in the 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 or losses from security transactions are based on the identified costs of the securities involved.

Schwab Monthly Income Funds

Financial Notes (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

(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 GAAP. Notwithstanding this, shareholders should understand that in order to follow these principles, fund management has to make estimates and assumptions that affect the information reported in the financial statements. It’s possible that once the results are known, they may turn out to be different from these estimates and these differences may be material.

(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 attributable to these arrangements to be remote.

(i) New Accounting Pronouncements:

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

3. Risk Factors:

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

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.

Affiliated Fund Risk. The investment adviser’s authority to select and substitute underlying funds from a variety of affiliated and unaffiliated mutual funds may create a conflict of interest because the fees paid to it by some underlying funds are higher than the fees paid by other underlying funds. However, the portfolio manager is a fiduciary to the fund and is legally obligated to act in the fund’s best interests when selecting underlying funds, without taking fees into consideration.

Schwab Monthly Income Funds

Financial Notes (continued)

3. Risk Factors (continued):

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 funds’ 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. A fund’s investment losses may reduce the amount of future cash income payments an investor will receive from the fund. The dollar amount of a 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 payments to go down substantially from one year to the next and over time depending on the timing of an investor’s investments in the fund. Any redemptions will proportionately reduce the amount of future cash income payments to be received 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 an investment in the funds is based primarily on the prices of the underlying funds that the funds purchase. In turn, the price of each underlying fund is based on the value of its securities. Before investing in the funds, 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-advisers) 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 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

Schwab Monthly Income Funds

Financial Notes (continued)

3. Risk Factors (continued):


		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 large 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.

	•	Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) Risk. 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.

	•	Securities Lending Risk. Securities lending involves the risk of loss of rights in the collateral or delay in recovery of the collateral if the borrower fails to return the security loaned or becomes insolvent.

Direct Investment Risk. The funds may invest a portion of their assets directly in equity and fixed income securities, as well as other mutual funds to maintain their asset allocations. The funds’ 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 these and other principal risks of investing in the funds.

4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions:

Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (“CSIM” or the “investment adviser”), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Charles Schwab Corporation, serves as each fund’s investment adviser and administrator pursuant to an Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement (“Advisory Agreement”) between CSIM and the trust.

The Board 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 its affiliates have agreed with the funds to limit (“expense limitation”) the total annual fund operating expenses charged, 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.

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.

*		Distributions received include distributions from net investment income and capital gains, if any, from the underlying funds.

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 by the Board. The funds had no interfund borrowing or lending activity during the period.

During the period, the Schwab Monthly Income Fund-Moderate Payout, Schwab Monthly Income Fund-Enhanced Payout and Schwab Monthly Income Fund-Maximum Payout received a payment of $728, $225 and $2,059, respectively, related to state filing fees resulting from revised fee calculation methodologies being applied on sales of the funds’ shares in prior periods. These payments are presented in each fund’s Statement of Operations as “State filing fee reimbursement”.

All or a portion of the state filing fees were previously borne by CSIM through a reimbursement of fund expenses. As this expense was previously reimbursed, the payments received during the period had the effect of decreasing the total “Expense

reduction by CSIM” in the funds’ Statements of Operations. The current net operating expense ratio was not impacted by this payment.

5. Board of Trustees:

Trustees may include people who are officers and/or directors of the investment adviser or its affiliates. Federal securities law limits the percentage of such “interested persons” who may serve on a trust’s board, and the trust was in compliance with these limitations throughout the report period. The trust did not pay any of these interested persons for their services as trustees, but it did pay non-interested persons (independent trustees), as noted in each fund’s Statement of Operations. For information regarding the trustees please refer to Trustees and Officers table at the end of this report.

6. Borrowing from Banks:

The funds have access to custodian overdraft facilities, a committed line of credit of $150 million with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), 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 & Co. 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 for the committed line of credit.

There were no borrowings from the lines of credit by the funds during the period. However, the funds may have utilized their overdraft facility and incurred interest expense, which is disclosed 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/Maturities of Investment Securities:

For the period ended December 31, 2012, purchases and sales/maturities of securities (excluding short-term obligations) were as follows:


	Purchases of Securities		Sales/Maturities of Securities

Schwab Monthly Income Fund - Moderate Payout		$10,062,000		$2,637,105
Schwab Monthly Income Fund - Enhanced Payout		7,862,000		6,874,000
Schwab Monthly Income Fund - Maximum Payout		14,427,000		21,288,000

8. Federal Income Taxes:

As of December 31, 2012, the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:


	Schwab		Schwab		Schwab
	Monthly Income Fund -		Monthly Income Fund -		Monthly Income Fund -
	Moderate Payout		Enhanced Payout		Maximum Payout

Undistributed ordinary income		$7,416		$29,833		$19,516

Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation)		$2,061,277		$7,398,455		$3,355,763

The primary difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation or unrealized depreciation of investments is the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

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 capital losses related to wash sales. The fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the net investment income and net realized gains are recorded by the funds for financial reporting purposes. The funds may also designate a portion of the amount paid to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for tax purposes.

Permanent book and tax basis differences may result in reclassifications between components of net assets as required. The adjustments will have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. As of December 31, 2012, the funds made the following reclassifications:


	Schwab			Schwab			Schwab
	Monthly Income Fund -			Monthly Income Fund -			Monthly Income Fund -

During the period ended December 31, 2012, the funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

9. Subsequent Events:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Boards of Trustees and Shareholders of:

Schwab Monthly Income Fund—Moderate Payout

Schwab Monthly Income Fund—Enhanced Payout

Schwab Monthly Income Fund—Maximum Payout

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 Schwab Monthly Income Fund—Moderate Payout, Schwab Monthly Income Fund—Enhanced Payout and Schwab Monthly Income Fund—Maximum Payout (three of the portfolios constituting Schwab Capital Trust, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at December 31, 2012, and the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities and investments in the underlying funds at December 31, 2012 by correspondence with the custodian and transfer agent of the underlying funds, respectively, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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.

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.

MSCI EAFE Index A free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the U.S. & Canada.

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.

Russell 2000 Index An index that measures the performance of the small-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe.

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

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.
