From the President
Marie Chandoha is President and CEO of Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. and the funds covered in this report.
Dear Shareholder,
As President and CEO of Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc., I’d like to thank you for trusting us to help you meet your investment goals, and for reading this important report concerning the Schwab Monthly Income Funds. These three funds are part of our line-up of core investment products and are designed to provide shareholders with current income that does not represent the return of capital, while investment appreciation represents a secondary objective. Each fund invests in a combination of Schwab Funds and Laudus Funds, with different asset allocation guidelines and target annual income payouts.
For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the returns of the funds reflected a solid overall performance by stocks in U.S. and developed overseas markets, and generally negative returns by bonds. The backdrop for these performances included attempts by the Federal Reserve, the Bank of Japan, and many other central banks to stimulate economic growth by trying to keep interest rates low. In general, these policies supported the performance of stocks.
Late in the period, signs of improvement in the U.S. housing market and other areas of the economy led the Fed to announce plans to potentially begin reducing some of its stimulative policies. In response, stock market volatility increased, while bond yields rose sharply in May and June, and bond prices fell. Reflecting this environment, the S&P 500 Index returned 13.8% for the report period, and the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned -2.4%.

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 January 1, 2013 and held through June 30, 2013.
Actual Return lines in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value ¸ $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund or share class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical Return lines in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a fund’s or share class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed return of 5% per year before expenses. Because the return used is not an actual return, it may not be used to estimate the actual ending account value or expenses you paid for the period.
You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

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, futures and exchange traded funds (“ETFs”). 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: Mutual funds are valued at their respective NAVs. |
|
| • | Securities for which no quoted value is available: The Board has adopted procedures to fair value each fund’s securities when market prices are not “readily available” or are unreliable. For example, a fund may fair value a security when it is |

| | de-listed or its trading is halted or suspended; when a security’s primary pricing source is unable or unwilling to provide a price; or when a security’s primary trading market is closed during regular market hours. Each fund makes fair value determinations in good faith in accordance with the fund’s valuation procedures. The Pricing Committee considers a number of factors, including unobservable market inputs when arriving at fair value. The Pricing Committee may employ techniques such as the review of related or comparable assets or liabilities, related market activities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, transactional back-testing, disposition analysis and other relevant information. The Pricing Committee regularly reviews these inputs and assumptions to calibrate the valuations. Due to the subjective and variable nature of fair value pricing, there can be no assurance that a fund could obtain the fair value assigned to the security upon the sale of such security. The Board convenes on a regular basis to review fair value determinations made by the funds pursuant to the valuation procedures. |
| | |
| • | Short-term securities (60 days or less to maturity): Short-term securities are 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 inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. If the funds determine that either the volume and/or level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased (from normal conditions for that asset or liability) or price quotations or observable inputs are not associated with orderly transactions, increased analysis and management judgment will be required to estimate fair value.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
| | |
| • | Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities — Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equities. Investments in mutual funds are valued daily at their NAVs, which are classified as Level 1 prices. |
|
| • | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) — Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but whose values are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified as Level 2 prices. These generally include U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, certain mortgage products, less liquid listed equities, and state, municipal and provincial obligations. 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 June 30, 2013 are disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
(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.
(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.
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.
Market Risk. Equity and fixed income 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.
28
Schwab Monthly Income Funds
Financial Notes, unaudited (continued)
3. Risk Factors (continued):
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 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. |

3. Risk Factors (continued):
| | |
| • | 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. In addition, investments in derivatives may involve leverage, which means a small percentage of assets invested in derivatives can have a disproportionately large impact on an underlying fund. However, these risks are less severe when the underlying fund uses derivatives for hedging rather than to enhance the underlying fund’s returns or as a substitute for a position or security. |
|
| • | 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 an underlying 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. The use of leverage may cause the underlying fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it would not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations. |
|
| • | 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. |
|
| • | 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. Certain underlying funds engage in securities lending, which 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 and ETFs 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 the principal risks of investing in the funds.
4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions:
Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (“CSIM” or the “investment adviser”), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Charles Schwab Corporation, serves as each fund’s investment adviser 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, for so long as CSIM serves as the investment adviser to the funds, to limit the total annual fund operating expenses charged, excluding interest, taxes and certain non-routine expenses of the funds (“expense limitation”) to 0.00% . This agreement may only be amended or terminated with approval of the funds’ Board.
The agreement to limit the funds’ total annual fund operating expenses charged is limited to each fund’s direct operating expenses and, therefore, does not apply to underlying fund fees and expenses, which are indirect expenses incurred by a fund through its investments in 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 to be charged on a 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.
5. Board of Trustees:
The Board may include people who are officers and/or directors of the investment adviser or its affiliates. Federal securities law limits the percentage of such “interested persons” who may serve on a trust’s board, and the trust was in compliance with these limitations throughout the report period. The trust did not pay any of these interested persons for their services as trustees, but

5. Board of Trustees (continued):
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 June 30, 2013, purchases and sales/maturities of securities (excluding short-term obligations) were as follows:

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 (the “Funds”), 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 23, 2013, and June 4, 2013, and approved the renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Funds for an additional one year term at the meeting held on June 4, 2013. 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, 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 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 practice of waiving management and other fees to prevent total fund
35
expenses from exceeding a specified cap. 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 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 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 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. 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.
Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index A broad-based benchmark that measures the investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, mortgage-back securities (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM passthroughs), asset-backed securities, and commercial mortgage-backed securities.
Barclays U.S. Aggregate Intermediate Bond Index An index that represents securities that are SEC-registered, taxable, and dollar denominated. The index covers the U.S. investment grade fixed rate bond market, with index components for government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities, and asset-backed securities.
Barclays U.S. Treasury Bills 1 − 3 Months An index that includes all publicly issued zero-coupon U.S. Treasury Bills that have a remaining maturity of less than 3 months and more than 1 month, are rated investment grade, and have $250 million or more of outstanding face value.
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.
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.
FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Global Index An index that is designed to provide a diverse representation of publicly traded equity REITs and listed property companies worldwide.
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.
