Schwab Government Money Market Portfolio | Semiannual Report

Schwab Government Money Market Portfolio

The Schwab Government Money Market Portfolio (the fund) seeks the highest current income consistent with stability of capital and liquidity. To pursue its goal, the fund invests in U.S. government securities such as U.S. Treasury bills and notes, other obligations that are issued by the U.S. government, its agencies, or instrumentalities, repurchase agreements that are collateralized fully by cash and/or U.S. government securities, and obligations that are issued by private issuers that are guaranteed as to principal or interest by the U.S. government, its agencies, or instrumentalities. The fund will invest at least 99.5% of its total assets in cash, U.S. government securities and/or repurchase agreements that are collateralized fully by cash and/or U.S. government securities; under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the fund’s net assets (including, for this purpose, any borrowings for investment purposes) will be invested in U.S. government securities, including repurchase agreements that are collateralized fully by U.S. government securities (excluding cash). For more information concerning the fund’s investment objective, strategy, and risks, please see the fund’s prospectus

Market Highlights. Over the six-month reporting period ended June 30, 2020, demand for government money market funds rose. Beginning in late February, the COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc on the global economy, prompting a flight to quality, triggering dramatic social distancing restrictions, shuttering businesses, and causing U.S. stocks to fall steeply. The short-term U.S. Treasury yield curve became increasingly inverted in January and February 2020, as the impact of the spreading COVID-19 virus became more severe and the odds of a near-term Federal Reserve (Fed) rate cut increased.

By the end of March, governments and central banks around the world had begun passing massive emergency rescue and fiscal stimulus measures in an effort to support their economies. The Fed implemented two emergency rate cuts in March, bringing the target range for the federal funds rate to 0.00% to 0.25%. Low interest rates, combined with a sharp increase in demand from investors seeking safety, pushed yields on government and U.S. Treasury securities down and drove record inflows into government money market funds. Beginning in April and through the end of the reporting period, demand for government money market funds began to fall as investors began moving back to prime money market funds.

Outside the U.S., major central banks reduced their policy rates or maintained their already low—or for some international central banks, negative—interest rates. The European Central Bank held interest rates at 0%, unchanged since March 2016, and launched a new asset purchase program to counter the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Bank of Japan upheld its short-term interest rate target of -0.1%, also unchanged since 2016, and increased the annual pace of its purchases of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and other assets. The Bank of England lowered its key official bank rate from 0.75% to 0.10% in two emergency rate cuts in March.

Performance, Positioning, and Strategies. Throughout the reporting period, the fund’s investment adviser remained focused on ensuring liquidity and stability of capital as market conditions evolved, while all issuers in which the fund invests continue to undergo a rigorous credit review process and ongoing monitoring. The fund’s weighted average maturity (WAM) decreased slightly, beginning the reporting period at 38 days and ending the reporting period at 33 days despite experiencing some variation throughout the reporting period as a result of pandemic-driven shocks to the economy and the Fed’s extraordinary response—reaching a low of 31 days in early March and a high of 45 days in late May and early April.

Seven-Day Average Yield Trend for Previous 12 Months

Seven-Day Yields¹

The seven-day yield is the income generated by the fund’s holdings minus the fund’s operating expenses. The seven-day yields are calculated using standard SEC formulas. The effective yield includes the effect of reinvesting daily dividends. Please remember that money market fund yields fluctuate.

	Schwab Government Money Market Portfolio
Ticker Symbol	SWPXX
Seven-Day Yield (with waivers)²	0.01%
Seven-Day Yield (without waivers)²	-0.11%
Seven-Day Effective Yield (with waivers)²	0.01%

You could lose money by investing in the fund. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the fund at any time.

Fund yields do not reflect the additional fees and expenses imposed by the insurance company under the variable insurance product contract. If those contract fees and expenses were included, the yields would be less than those shown. Please refer to the variable insurance product prospectus for a complete listing of these expenses.

The Seven-Day Yield (with waivers) is the average income paid out over the previous seven days assuming interest income is not reinvested and it reflects the effect of any applicable waivers. Absent such waivers, the fund’s yield would have been lower. The Seven-Day Yield (without waivers) is the yield without the effect of any applicable waivers. The Seven-Day Effective Yield is the yield with waivers assuming that all interest income is reinvested in additional shares of the fund. For additional details, see financial note 4.

Fund Expenses (Unaudited)

Examples for a $1,000 Investment

As a fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, transfer agent fees, and other fund expenses.

The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing cost (in dollars) of investing in the 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, 2020 and held through June 30, 2020.

The Actual Return line in the table below provides 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 the fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”

The Hypothetical Return line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed return of 5% per year before expenses. Because the return used is not an actual return, it may not be used to estimate the actual ending account value or expenses you paid for the period.

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. Therefore, the hypothetical return lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

	Expense Ratio (Annualized)¹	Beginning Account Value at 1/1/20	Ending Account Value (Net of Expenses) at 6/30/20	Expenses Paid During Period 1/1/20-6/30/20²
Schwab Government Money Market Portfolio
Actual Return	0.35%	$1,000.00	$1,002.80	$1.74
Hypothetical 5% Return	0.35%	$1,000.00	$1,023.16	$1.76

¹	Based on the most recent six-month expense ratio.
²	Expenses for the fund are equal to its annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182 days of the period, and divided by the 366 days of the fiscal year.

1. Business Structure of the Fund:

Schwab Government Money Market Portfolio (the fund) is a series of Schwab Annuity Portfolios (the trust), a no-load, open-end management investment company. The trust is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). The list below shows all the funds in the trust as of the end of the period, including the fund discussed in this report, which is highlighted:

SCHWAB ANNUITY PORTFOLIOS (ORGANIZED JANUARY 21, 1994)
Schwab Government Money Market Portfolio
Schwab S&P 500 Index Portfolio
Schwab VIT Balanced Portfolio
Schwab VIT Balanced with Growth Portfolio
Schwab VIT Growth Portfolio

The 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 a fund. Each share has a par value of 1/1,000 of a cent, and the fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) may authorize the issuance of as many shares as necessary.

The fund is intended as an investment vehicle for variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies to be offered by separate accounts of participating life insurance companies and for pension and retirement plans qualified under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. At June 30, 2020, 100% of the fund’s shares were held through separate accounts of five insurance companies. Subscriptions and redemptions of these insurance separate accounts could have a material impact on the fund.

The fund maintains its own account for purposes of holding assets and accounting, and is considered a separate entity for tax purposes. Within its account, the fund may also keep certain assets in segregated accounts, as required by securities law.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies the fund uses in its preparation of financial statements. The fund follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies. The accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).

(a) Security Valuation:

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

Securities in the fund are valued at amortized cost (which approximates market value) as permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. In the event that security valuations do not approximate market value, securities may be fair valued as determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. 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 fund pursuant to the valuation procedures.

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

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

• Underlying funds: Mutual funds are valued at their respective NAVs.

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, without consideration to the classification level of the specific investments held by an underlying fund.

• 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. Securities held by stable NAV money funds operating under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act are valued at amortized cost which approximates current market value and are considered to be valued using Level 2 inputs.

• Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)—Investments whose values are classified as Level 3 prices have significant unobservable inputs, as they may trade infrequently or not at all. When observable prices are not available for these securities, the fund uses one or more valuation techniques for which sufficient and reliable data is available. The inputs used by the fund in estimating the value of Level 3 prices may include the original transaction price, quoted prices for similar securities or assets in active markets, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows. Level 3 prices may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the fund in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the fund due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the fund’s results of operations.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The levels associated with valuing the fund’s investments as of June 30, 2020 are disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings.

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

Repurchase Agreements: In a repurchase agreement, a fund buys a security from another party (the counterparty), usually a financial institution, with the agreement that it be sold back in the future. Repurchase agreements subject a fund to counterparty risk, meaning that the fund could lose money if the other party fails to perform under the terms of the agreement. The fund mitigates this risk by ensuring that a fund’s repurchase agreements are collateralized by cash and/or U.S. government securities. All collateral is held by the fund’s custodian (or, with multi-party agreements, the agent’s bank) and is monitored daily to ensure that its market value is at least equal to the repurchase price under the agreement. In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed or limited and the value of the collateral may decline. Investments in repurchase agreements are also based on a review of the credit quality of the repurchase agreement counterparty.

As of June 30, 2020, the fund had investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $55,037,084 as disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings and the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at period end.

Delayed-Delivery Transactions: The fund may buy securities at a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place after the customary settlement period for that type of security. The fund will assume the rights and risks of ownership at the time of purchase, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations. Typically, no interest will accrue to the fund until the security is delivered. The fund will earmark or segregate appropriate liquid assets to cover its delayed-delivery purchase obligations, if any.

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.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

(d) Investment Income:

Interest income is recorded as it accrues. If the fund buys a debt security at a discount (less than face value) or a premium (more than face value), it amortizes premiums and accretes discounts from the purchase settlement date up to maturity. The fund then increases (in the case of discounts) or reduces (in the case of premiums) the income it records from the security. Certain securities may be callable (meaning that the issuer has the option to pay it off before its maturity date). The fund amortizes the premium and accretes the discount on each callable security to the security’s maturity date, except when the purchase price is higher than the call price at the security’s call date (in which case the premium is amortized to the call date). Dividends and distributions from underlying funds are recorded on the date they are effective (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.

(e) Expenses:

(f) Distributions to Shareholders:

The fund declares distributions from net investment income, if any, every day it is open for business. The fund makes distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, once a year.

(g) 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.

(h) Federal Income Taxes:

The fund intends to meet federal income and excise tax requirements for regulated investment companies under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Accordingly, the fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to the participating insurance company’s (shareholders) separate accounts each year. As long as the fund meets the tax requirements, it is not required to pay federal income tax.

(i) Indemnification:

Under the fund’s organizational documents, the officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business the fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide general indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the fund. However, based on experience, the fund expects the risk of loss attributable to these arrangements to be remote.

3. Risk Factors:

Market Risk. Financial markets rise and fall in response to a variety of factors, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Markets may be impacted by economic, political, regulatory and other conditions, including economic sanctions and other government actions. In addition, the occurrence of global events, such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters, and epidemics may also negatively affect the financial markets. These events could reduce consumer demand or economic output; result in market closures, low or negative interest rates, travel restrictions or quarantines; and significantly adversely impact the economy. Governmental and quasi-governmental authorities and regulators throughout the world have in the past often responded to serious economic disruptions with a variety of significant fiscal and monetary policy changes which could have an unexpected impact on financial markets and the fund’s investments. 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 over short or long periods.

Investment Risk. You could lose money by investing in the fund. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the fund at any time.

₁₉

Schwab Government Money Market Portfolio | Semiannual Report

Schwab Government Money Market Portfolio

Financial Notes, unaudited (continued)

3. Risk Factors (continued):

Interest Rate Risk. Interest rates rise and fall over time. As with any investment whose yield reflects current interest rates, the fund’s yield will change over time. During periods when interest rates are low or there are negative interest rates, the fund’s yield (and total return) also could be low or even negative. In addition, the fund may be unable to pay expenses out of fund assets or maintain a stable $1.00 share price. Also, a change in a central bank’s monetary policy or economic conditions may result in a change in interest rates, which could have sudden and unpredictable effects on the markets. Volatility in the market may decrease liquidity in the money market securities markets, making it more difficult for the fund to sell its money market investments at a time when the investment adviser might wish to sell such investments. Decreased market liquidity also may make it more difficult to value some or all of the fund’s money market securities holdings.

Stable Net Asset Value Risk. If the fund or another money market fund fails to maintain a stable net asset value (or such perception exists in the market place), the fund could experience increased redemptions, which may adversely impact the fund’s share price. The fund is permitted, among other things, to reduce or withhold any income and/or gains generated by the fund to maintain a stable $1.00 share price.

Repurchase Agreements Risk. When the fund enters into a repurchase agreement, the fund is exposed to the risk that the other party (i.e. the counterparty) will not fulfill its contractual obligation. In a repurchase agreement, there exists the risk that, when the fund buys a security from a counterparty that agrees to repurchase the security at an agreed upon price (usually higher) and time, the counterparty will not repurchase the security.

Credit Risk. A decline in the credit quality of an issuer, guarantor or liquidity provider of a portfolio investment or a counterparty could cause the fund to lose money or underperform. The fund could lose money if, due to a decline in credit quality, the issuer, guarantor or liquidity provider of a portfolio investment or a counterparty fails to make, or is perceived as being unable or unwilling to make, timely principal or interest payments or otherwise honor its obligations. Even though the fund’s investments in repurchase agreements are collateralized at all times, there is some risk to the fund if the other party should default on its obligations and the fund is delayed or prevented from recovering or disposing of the collateral. The credit quality of the fund’s portfolio holdings can change rapidly in certain market environments and any downgrade or default on the part of a single portfolio investment could cause the fund’s share price or yield to fall.

Certain U.S. government securities that the fund invests in are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, which means they are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. Although maintained in conservatorship by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) since September 2008, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac maintain only lines of credit with the U.S. Treasury. Additionally, the FHFA recently announced plans to begin removing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from conservatorship. The Federal Home Loan Banks maintain limited access to credit lines from the U.S. Treasury. Other securities, such as obligations issued by the Federal Farm Credit Banks Funding Corporation, are supported solely by the credit of the issuer. There can be no assurance that the U.S. government will provide financial support to securities of its agencies and instrumentalities if it is not obligated to do so under law. Also, any government guarantees on securities the fund owns do not extend to the shares of the fund itself.

Management Risk. Any actively managed mutual fund is subject to the risk that its investment adviser will select investments or allocate assets in a manner that could cause the fund to underperform or otherwise not meet its objective. The fund’s investment 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. The investment adviser’s maturity decisions will also affect the fund’s yield, and potentially could affect its share price. To the extent that the investment adviser anticipates interest rate trends imprecisely, the fund’s yield at times could lag the yields of other money market funds.

Redemption Risk. The fund may experience periods of heavy redemptions that could cause the fund to liquidate its assets at inopportune times or at a loss or depressed value, particularly during periods of declining or illiquid markets. Redemptions by a few large investors in the fund may have a significant adverse effect on the fund’s ability to maintain a stable $1.00 share price. In the event any money market fund fails to maintain a stable net asset value, other money market funds, including the fund, could face a market-wide risk of increased redemption pressures, potentially jeopardizing the stability of their $1.00 share prices.

Money Market Fund Risk. The fund is not designed to offer capital appreciation. In exchange for their emphasis on stability and liquidity, money market investments may offer lower long-term performance than stock or bond investments.

Tax Diversification Risk. As described above, the fund intends to operate as a government money market fund under the regulations governing money market funds. Additionally, the fund intends to meet the diversification requirements that are applicable to insurance company separate accounts under Subchapter L of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Diversification Requirements). To satisfy the Diversification Requirements applicable to variable annuity contracts, the value of the assets of the fund invested in securities issued by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities must remain below specified thresholds. For these purposes, each U.S. government agency or instrumentality is treated as a separate issuer.

3. Risk Factors (continued):

Operating as a government money market fund may make it difficult for the fund to meet the Diversification Requirements. This difficulty may be exacerbated by the potential increase in demand for the types of securities in which the fund invests as a result of changes to the rules that govern SEC registered money market funds. A failure to satisfy the Diversification Requirements could have significant adverse tax consequences for variable life insurance and variable annuity contract owners whose contract values are determined by investment in the fund.

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

4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions:

Investment Adviser

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

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

Average Daily Net Assets
First $1 billion	0.35%
More than $1 billion but not exceeding $10 billion	0.32%
More than $10 billion but not exceeding $20 billion	0.30%
More than $20 billion but not exceeding $40 billion	0.27%
Over $40 billion	0.25%

For the period ended June 30, 2020, the aggregate advisory fee paid to CSIM by the fund was 0.35%, as a percentage of the fund’s average daily net assets.

Contractual Expense Limitation

CSIM and its affiliates have made an additional agreement with the fund, for so long as CSIM serves as the investment adviser to the fund, which may only be amended or terminated with the approval of the Board, to limit the total annual fund operating expenses charged, excluding interest, taxes, and certain non-routine expenses (expense limitation) to 0.35%.

During the period ended June 30, 2020, the fund waived $84,202 in expenses of which $80,175 was waived in accordance with the contractual expense limitation agreement noted above.

Voluntary Yield Waiver/Reimbursement

CSIM and its affiliates may waive and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to maintain a positive net yield for the fund.

Interfund Borrowing and Lending

Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the fund may enter into interfund borrowing and lending transactions with other funds in the Fund Complex (for definition refer to Trustees and Officers section). All loans are for temporary or emergency purposes and the interest rate to be charged will be the average of the overnight repurchase agreement rate and the short-term bank loan rate. All loans are subject to numerous conditions designed to ensure fair and equitable treatment of all participating funds. The interfund lending facility is subject to the oversight and periodic review by the Board. For the period ended June 30, 2020, the fund’s total aggregate security transactions with other funds in the Fund Complex was $2,501,578 and includes realized gains (losses) of $0.

₂₁

Schwab Government Money Market Portfolio | Semiannual Report

Financial Notes, unaudited (continued)

5. Board of Trustees:

The Board may include people who are officers and/or directors of CSIM 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 on the fund’s Statement of Operations. For information regarding the trustees, please refer to the Trustees and Officers table at the end of this report.

6. Borrowing from Banks:

During the period, the fund was a participant with other funds in the Fund Complex in a joint, syndicated, committed $750 million line of credit (the Syndicated Credit Facility), maturing on October 1, 2020. Under the terms of the Syndicated Credit Facility, in addition to the interest charged on any borrowings by a fund, the fund paid a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum on the fund’s proportionate share of the unused portion of the Syndicated Credit Facility.

During the period, the fund was a participant with other funds in the Fund Complex in a joint, unsecured, uncommitted $500 million line of credit (the Uncommitted Credit Facility), with State Street Bank and Trust Company, maturing on November 27, 2020. Under the terms of the Uncommitted Credit Facility, the fund pays interest on the amount it borrows. There were no borrowings from either line of credit during the period.

The fund also has access to custodian overdraft facilities. The fund may have utilized the overdraft facility and incurred an interest expense, which is disclosed on the fund’s Statement of Operations, if any. The interest expense is determined based on a negotiated rate above the current Federal Funds Rate.

7. Federal Income Taxes:

At June 30, 2020, the tax basis cost of the fund’s investments was $186,900,106 and the unrealized appreciation and depreciation were $45,600 and ($0), respectively, with a net unrealized appreciation of $45,600.

Capital loss carryforwards may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. As of December 31, 2019, the fund had no capital loss carryforwards.

The tax-basis components of distributions and components of distributable earnings on a tax basis are finalized at fiscal year-end; accordingly, tax basis balances have not been determined as of June 30, 2020. The tax-basis components of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, were as follows:

Ordinary income

$2,712,866

As of December 31, 2019, management has reviewed the tax positions for open periods (for federal purposes, three years from the date of filing and for state purposes, four years from the date of filing) as applicable to the fund, and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements. The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

8. Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm:

On June 8, 2020, the Audit, Compliance and Valuation Committee of the Board approved, and on June 9, 2020, the Board approved, Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent registered accounting firm of the Schwab Funds Complex for fiscal periods ending after June 8, 2020.

On June 8, 2020, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (the “Prior Auditor”) resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Schwab Funds Complex. The Prior Auditor’s reports on the financial statements of the fund for the past two fiscal years, the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the last two fiscal year-ends and through June 8, 2020, there were no (1) disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its reports on the fund’s financial statements for such periods; or (2) “reportable events,” as that term is defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), requires that 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 and administration agreement (the Agreement) between Schwab Annuity Portfolios (the Trust) and Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM) with respect to the existing funds in the Trust, including Schwab Government Money Market Portfolio (the Fund), 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, business goals and priorities, profitability, third-party oversight, corporate structure and operations. As part of the renewal process, the Independent Trustees’ legal counsel, on behalf of the Independent Trustees, sends an information request letter to CSIM seeking certain relevant information. The responses by CSIM are provided to the Trustees in the Board materials for their review prior to their meeting, and the Trustees are provided with the opportunity to request any additional materials. The Board also receives data provided by an independent provider of investment company data. This information is in addition to the detailed information about the Fund that the Board reviews during the course of each year, including information that relates to the Fund’s operations and performance, legal and compliance matters, risk management, portfolio turnover, and sales and marketing activity. In considering the renewal, the Independent Trustees receive advice from Independent Trustees’ legal counsel, including a memorandum regarding the responsibilities of trustees for the approval of investment advisory agreements. In addition, the Independent Trustees participate in question and answer sessions with representatives of CSIM and meet in executive session outside the presence of Fund management.

The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered information specifically relating to the continuance of the Agreement with respect to the Fund at meetings held on May 11, 2020 and June 9, 2020, and approved the renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund for an additional

one-year term at the meeting on June 9, 2020 called for the purpose of voting on such approval.¹

The Board’s approval of the continuance of the Agreement with respect to the Fund 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 Fund under the Agreement, including the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund;
2.	the Fund’s investment performance and how it compared to that of certain other comparable mutual funds and benchmark data;
3.	the Fund’s expenses and how those expenses compared to those of certain other similar mutual funds;
4.	the profitability of CSIM and its affiliates, including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (Schwab), with respect to the 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 Fund grows 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 Fund and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund. In this regard, the Trustees evaluated, among other things, CSIM’s experience, track record, compliance program, resources dedicated to hiring and retaining skilled personnel and specialized talent, and information security resources. The Trustees also considered information provided by CSIM relating to services and support provided with respect to the Fund’s portfolio management team, portfolio strategy, and internal investment guidelines, as well as trading infrastructure, liquidity management, product design and analysis, shareholder communications, securities valuation, fund accounting and custody, and vendor and risk oversight. The Trustees also considered investments CSIM has made in its infrastructure, including modernizing CSIM’s technology and use of data, increasing expertise in key areas (including portfolio management and trade operations), and improving business continuity, cybersecurity, due diligence, risk management processes, and information security programs, which are designed to provide enhanced services to the Fund and its shareholders. The Trustees also considered Schwab’s wide range of products, services, and channel alternatives such as investment research tools and an array of account features that benefit Fund shareholders who are brokerage clients of Schwab. Finally, the Trustees also considered Schwab’s reputation as a full service brokerage firm and its overall financial condition, including Schwab’s ability to maintain consistent operations and service levels during recent periods of remote work and market volatility. Following such

₂₄

Schwab Government Money Market Portfolio | Semiannual Report

Schwab Government Money Market Portfolio

evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by CSIM to the Fund and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.

Fund Performance. The Board considered the Fund’s performance in determining whether to renew the Agreement with respect to the Fund. Specifically, the Trustees considered the Fund’s performance relative to a peer category of other mutual funds and applicable indices/benchmarks, in light of total return, yield, if applicable, and market trends, as well as in consideration of the Fund’s investment style and strategy attributes and disclosures. As part of this review, the Trustees considered the composition of the peer category, selection criteria and the reputation of the independent provider of investment company data who prepared the peer category analysis. In evaluating the performance of the Fund, the Trustees considered the risk profile for the Fund and the Fund’s operation as a government money market fund within the meaning of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. The Trustees further considered the level of Fund performance in the context of their review of Fund expenses and adviser profitability discussed below and also noted that the Board and a designated committee of the Board review performance throughout the year. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations that, with respect to the Fund, the performance of the Fund supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.

Fund Expenses. With respect to the Fund’s expenses, the Trustees considered the rate of compensation called for by the Agreement and the Fund’s net operating expense ratio, in each case, in comparison to those of other similar mutual funds, such peer groups and comparisons having been selected and calculated by an independent provider of investment company data. CSIM reported to the Board, and the Board took into account, the risk assumed by CSIM in the development of products and provision of services as well as the competitive marketplace for financial products. The Trustees considered the effects of CSIM’s and Schwab’s practice of waiving certain fees to prevent total annual operating expenses of the Fund from exceeding a specified cap as well as historically using voluntary waivers to maintain a certain yield, which CSIM has committed not to recoup. The Trustees also considered fees charged by CSIM to other mutual funds and to other types of 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, and the unique insurance dedicated distribution arrangements of the Fund as compared to other funds managed by CSIM, as well as any differences in the nature and scope of the services CSIM provides to these other accounts and any differences in the market for these types of accounts. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations that, with respect to the Fund, the expenses of the Fund are reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.

Profitability. The Trustees considered the compensation flowing to CSIM and its affiliates, directly or indirectly and reviewed profitability on a pre-tax basis, without regard to distribution expenses. In this connection, the Trustees reviewed management’s profitability analyses. The Trustees also reviewed profitability of CSIM relating to the Schwab fund complex as a whole, noting the benefits to Fund shareholders of being part of the Schwab fund complex, including the allocations of certain fixed costs across the Fund and other funds in the complex. The Trustees also considered any other benefits derived by CSIM from its relationship with the Fund, such as whether, by virtue of its management of the Fund, CSIM obtains investment information or other research resources that aid it in providing advisory services to other clients. The Trustees considered whether the compensation and profitability with respect to the Fund under the Agreement and other service agreements were reasonable and justified in light of the quality of all services rendered to the Fund by CSIM and its affiliates. The Trustees noted that CSIM continues to invest substantial sums in its business in order to provide enhanced research capabilities, services, and systems to benefit the Fund. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the profitability of CSIM with respect to the Fund is reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.

Economies of Scale. Although the Trustees recognized the difficulty of determining economies of scale with precision, the Trustees considered the potential existence of any economies of scale and whether those are passed along to the Fund’s shareholders through (i) the enhancement of services provided to the Fund in return for fees paid, including through investments by CSIM in CSIM’s infrastructure, including modernizing CSIM’s technology and use of data, increasing expertise and capabilities in key areas (including portfolio and trade operations), and improving business continuity, cybersecurity, due diligence, and information security programs, which are designed to provide enhanced services to the Fund and its shareholders; and (ii) graduated investment advisory fee schedules, fee waivers, or expense caps by CSIM and its affiliates for those funds in the Schwab fund complex with such features. The Trustees acknowledged that CSIM has shared any economies of scale with the Fund by investing in CSIM’s infrastructure, as discussed above, over time and that CSIM’s internal costs of providing investment management, technology, administrative, legal and compliance services to the Fund continues to increase as a result of regulatory or other developments. The Trustees considered that CSIM and its affiliates may employ contractual expense caps to protect shareholders from high fees when fund assets are relatively small, for example, in the case of newer funds or funds with investment strategies that are from time to time out of favor, because, among other reasons, shareholders may benefit from the continued availability of such funds at subsidized expense levels. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the Fund obtains reasonable benefits from economies of scale.

In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees may have accorded different weights to various factors and 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 Fund and

concluded that the compensation under the Agreement with respect to the Fund 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.

The Investment Environment

For most of the first two months of the six-month reporting period ended June 30, 2020, U.S. stocks rose steadily, with several key U.S. market indices hitting record highs in mid-February. However, beginning in late February, the COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc on the global economy, prompting dramatic social distancing restrictions, shuttering businesses, and resulting in a new record for the fastest U.S. market decline with the S&P 500^® Index, a bellwether for the overall U.S. stock market, dropping 30% in just 22 trading days. By the end of March, governments and central banks around the world had begun passing massive emergency rescue and fiscal stimulus measures in an effort to support their economies. While the extraordinary response prompted a rally in global equity markets from their March lows, historic volatility remained and most global equity markets ended the reporting period in negative territory. For the six-month reporting period, the S&P 500^® Index returned -3.08%.

Prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. economy, despite ongoing trade tensions with China, maintained steady growth in its record eleventh year of expansion, albeit at a slowing pace. In December, an announced partial trade resolution between the U.S. and China helped ease market tensions. U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) grew at an annual rate of 2.1% in the fourth quarter of 2019, but in the fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic fell sharply in the first quarter of 2020, contracting by 5.0%. Unemployment remained at record lows through February. However, a record number of unemployment claims in March resulted in the largest monthly unemployment rate increase since January 1975. In April, this record was broken again when unemployment skyrocketed, rising to the highest level since the Great Depression. Unemployment declined in May and June, but remained in the double digits. Consumer confidence, which remained solid through February, also fell steeply in March and April. By June, consumer confidence rose to a three-month high as the economy began to reopen. Inflation crept up slightly in January and February, before retreating in March, April, and May, with April seeing the largest monthly decline since December 2008. Inflation began to climb again in June.

The Investment Environment (continued)

addition, the Fed also announced extensive emergency measures to support the economy in light of the pandemic, including massive purchases of U.S. Treasuries and other securities to support smooth market functioning, facilitating the flow of credit to municipalities, new financing for employers, consumers, and businesses, and the establishment of facilities to support credit to businesses and consumers alike.

Over the reporting period, value stocks significantly underperformed growth stocks, and small-caps underperformed large-caps. Among sectors in the S&P 500^® Index, all but two, the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors, posted negative returns for the reporting period. The information technology sector rallied following the initial trade deal reached between the U.S. and China in January. Despite tumbling along with all other sectors in March, the information technology sector showed strong fundamentals relative to other sectors. The information technology sector was also less impacted by social distancing and stay at home orders than other sectors as demand increased for services like internet and streaming, making it a relatively stable sector in the market. The information technology sector lagged in May and June but its longer-term momentum remained resulting in double-digit returns for the reporting period. The weakest sector for the reporting period, by a large margin, was the energy sector. Oil prices deteriorated amid significantly reduced demand, coupled with rising U.S. crude production and a price war between Russia and Saudi Arabia. In April, oil futures fell into negative territory as storage capacity evaporated and demand waned. However, as production was slashed, relieving pressure on constrained storage capacity, demand stabilized.

The trust is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). The list below shows all the funds in the trust as of the end of the period, including the fund discussed in this report, which is highlighted:

SCHWAB ANNUITY PORTFOLIOS (ORGANIZED JANUARY 21, 1994)
Schwab Government Money Market Portfolio
Schwab S&P 500 Index Portfolio

The 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 fund. Each share has a par value of 1/1,000 of a cent, and the fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) may authorize the issuance of as many shares as necessary.

The fund is intended as an investment vehicle for variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies to be offered by separate accounts of participating life insurance companies and for pension and retirement plans qualified under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. At June 30, 2020, 100% of the fund’s shares were held through separate accounts of two insurance companies. Subscriptions and redemptions of this insurance separate account could have a material impact on the fund.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

(a) Security Valuation:

The fund values the securities in its portfolio every business day. The fund uses the following policies to value various types of securities:

• Securities traded on an exchange or over-the-counter: Traded securities are valued at the closing value for the day, or, on days when no closing value has been reported, at the mean of the most recent bid and ask quotes. Securities that are primarily traded on foreign exchanges are valued at the official closing price or the last sales price on the exchange where the securities are principally traded with these values then translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate, unless these securities are fair valued as discussed below.

• Securities for which no quoted value is available: The Board has adopted procedures to fair value the fund’s securities when market prices are not “readily available” or are unreliable. For example, the fund may fair value a security when it is de-listed or its trading is halted or suspended; when a security’s primary pricing source is unable or unwilling to provide a price; or when a security’s primary trading market is closed during regular market hours. The fund makes fair value determinations in good faith in accordance with the fund’s valuation procedures. The Pricing Committee considers a number of factors, including unobservable market inputs when arriving at fair value. The Pricing Committee may employ techniques such as the review of related or comparable assets or liabilities, related market activities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, transactional back-testing, disposition analysis and other relevant information. The Pricing Committee regularly reviews these inputs and assumptions to calibrate the valuations. Due to the subjective and variable nature of fair value pricing, there can be no assurance that the 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 fund pursuant to the valuation procedures.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

• Futures contracts: Futures contracts are valued at their settlement prices as of the close of their exchanges.

• Underlying funds: Mutual funds are valued at their respective NAVs.

• Cash management sweep time deposits: Balances held in cash management sweep time deposits are accounted for on a cost basis, which approximates market value.

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

• Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities—Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equities and futures contracts. Investments in mutual funds are valued daily at their NAVs, which are classified as Level 1 prices, without consideration to the classification level of the specific investments held by an underlying fund.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The levels associated with valuing the fund’s investments as of June 30, 2020 are disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings.

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

Futures Contracts: Futures contracts are instruments that represent an agreement between two parties that obligates one party to buy, and the other party to sell, specific instruments at an agreed upon price on a stipulated future date. A fund must give the broker a deposit of cash and/or securities (initial margin) whenever it enters into a futures contract. The amount of the deposit may vary from one contract to another. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contract and are accounted for as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is closed, at which time the gains or losses are realized. Futures contracts are traded publicly on exchanges, and their market value may change daily.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

outside of the U.S., as with any offshore deposit, may be subject to sovereign actions in the jurisdiction of the deposit institution including, but not limited to, freeze, seizure or diminution. The fund bears the risk associated with the repayment of principal and payment of interest on such instruments by the institution with which the deposit is ultimately placed.

Securities Lending: Under the trust’s Securities Lending Program, the fund (lender) may make short-term loans of its securities to another party (borrower) to generate additional revenue for the fund. The borrower pledges collateral in the form of cash, securities issued or fully guaranteed by the U.S. government or foreign governments, or letters of credit issued by a bank. Collateral at the individual loan level is required to be maintained on a daily marked-to-market basis in an amount at least equal to the current value of the securities loaned. The lending agent provides the fund with indemnification against borrower default (the borrower fails to return the security on loan) reducing the risk of loss as a result of default. The cash collateral of securities loaned is currently invested in money market portfolios operating under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. The fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of cash collateral. The terms of the securities lending agreement allow the fund or the lending agent to terminate any loan at any given time and the securities must be returned within the earlier of the standard trade settlement period or the specified time period under the relevant securities lending agreement. Securities lending income, as disclosed in the fund’s Statement of Operations, if applicable, represents the income earned from the investment of the cash collateral plus any fees paid by borrowers, less the fees paid to the lending agent and broker rebates which are subject to adjustments pursuant to the securities lending agreement. On loans not collateralized by cash, a fee is received from the borrower, and is allocated between the fund and the lending agent. The aggregate market value of securities loaned will not at any time exceed one-third of the total assets of the fund, including collateral received from the loan. Securities lending fees paid to the unaffiliated lending agents start at 10% of gross lending revenue, with subsequent breakpoints to a low of 7.5%. In this context, the gross lending revenue equals the income received from the investment of cash collateral and fees paid by borrowers less any rebates paid to the borrowers. Any expenses charged by the cash collateral fund are in addition to these fees. All remaining revenue is retained by the fund, as applicable. No portion of lending revenue is paid to or retained by Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM or the investment adviser) or any affiliate of CSIM.

As of June 30, 2020, the fund had securities on loan, all of which were classified as common stocks. The value of the securities on loan and the related collateral as of June 30, 2020, are disclosed in the fund’s Portfolio Holdings. The value of the securities on loan and investment of cash collateral are also disclosed in the fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are reported in U.S. dollars. For assets and liabilities held on a given date, the dollar value is based on market exchange rates in effect on that date. Transactions involving foreign currencies, including purchases, sales, income receipts and expense payments, are calculated using exchange rates in effect on the transaction date. The fund does not isolate the portion of the fluctuations on investments resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates from the fluctuations in market prices of investments held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

When a fund closes out a futures contract position, it calculates the difference between the value of the position at the beginning and at the end of the contract, and records a realized gain or loss accordingly.

(d) Investment Income:

Interest income is recorded as it accrues. Dividends and distributions from portfolio securities and underlying funds are recorded on the date they are effective (the ex-dividend date), although the fund records certain foreign security dividends on the day it learns of the ex-dividend date. Any distributions from underlying funds are recorded in accordance with the character of the distributions as designated by the underlying funds.

(e) Expenses:

Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement (Advisory Agreement) between CSIM and the fund, CSIM pays the operating expenses of the fund, excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, any brokerage expenses, and extraordinary or non-routine expenses. Taxes, any brokerage expenses and extraordinary or non-routine expenses that are specific to the fund are charged directly to the fund.

3. Risk Factors:

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.

Investment Style Risk. The fund primarily follows the large-cap portion of the U.S. stock market, as measured by the index. It follows these stocks during upturns as well as downturns. Because of its indexing strategy, the fund does not take steps to reduce market exposure or to lessen the effects of a declining market. In addition, because of the fund’s expenses, the fund’s performance may be below that of the index. Market disruptions could cause delays in the index’s rebalancing schedule which may result in the index and, in turn, the fund experiencing returns different than those that would have been achieved under a normal rebalancing schedule.

A significant percentage of the index may be composed of securities in a single industry or sector of the economy. If the fund is focused in an industry or sector, it may present more risks than if it were broadly diversified over numerous industries and sectors of the economy.

Tracking Error Risk. As an index fund, the fund seeks to track the performance of its benchmark index, although it may not be successful in doing so. The divergence between the performance of a fund and its benchmark index, positive or negative, is called “tracking error.” Tracking error can be caused by many factors and it may be significant.

Market Capitalization Risk. Securities issued by companies of different market capitalizations tend to go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. During a period when securities of a particular market capitalization fall behind other types of investments, the fund’s performance could be impacted.

Large-Cap Company Risk. Large-cap companies are generally more mature and the securities issued by these companies may not be able to reach the same levels of growth as the securities issued by small- or mid-cap companies.

Financial Notes, unaudited (continued)

3. Risk Factors (continued):

Concentration Risk. To the extent that the fund’s or the index’s portfolio is concentrated in the securities of issuers in a particular market, industry, group of industries, sector, or asset class, the fund may be adversely affected by the performance of those securities, may be subject to increased price volatility and may be more vulnerable to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory occurrences affecting that market, industry, group of industries, sector, or asset class.

Derivatives Risk. The 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. The fund’s use of derivatives could reduce the fund’s performance, increase its volatility, and could cause the fund to lose more than the initial 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 the fund.

Liquidity Risk. The fund may be unable to sell certain securities, such as illiquid securities, readily at a favorable time or price, or the fund may have to sell them at a loss.

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

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

4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions:

Investment Adviser

CSIM, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Charles Schwab Corporation (CSC), serves as the fund’s investment adviser and administrator pursuant to an Advisory Agreement between CSIM and the trust.

For its advisory services to the fund, CSIM is entitled to receive an annual fee, payable monthly, equal to 0.03% of the fund’s average daily net assets.

Interfund Transactions

The fund may engage in transactions with certain other funds in the Fund Complex (for definition refer to Trustees and Officers section) when permitted by applicable law. When one fund is seeking to sell a security that another is seeking to buy, an interfund transaction can allow both funds to benefit by reducing transaction costs. This practice is limited to funds that share the same investment adviser, trustees and/or officers. For the period ended June 30, 2020, the fund’s total aggregate security transactions with other funds in the Fund Complex was $1,248,412 and includes realized losses of $289,706.

Interfund Borrowing and Lending

Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the fund may enter into interfund borrowing and lending transactions with other funds in the Fund Complex. All loans are for temporary or emergency purposes and the interest rate to be charged will be the average of the overnight repurchase agreement rate and the short-term bank loan rate. All loans are subject to numerous conditions designed to ensure fair and equitable treatment of all participating funds. The interfund lending facility is subject to the oversight and periodic review by the Board. The fund 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 CSIM 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 fund does not pay any interested or non-interested (independent trustees) trustees. The independent trustees are paid by CSIM. For information regarding the trustees, please refer to the Trustees and Officers table at the end of this report.

6. Borrowing from Banks:

During the period, the fund was a participant with other funds in the Fund Complex in a joint, syndicated, committed $750 million line of credit (the Syndicated Credit Facility), maturing on October 1, 2020. Under the terms of the Syndicated Credit Facility, in addition to CSIM paying the interest charged on any borrowings by a fund, CSIM paid a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum on the fund’s proportionate share of the unused portion of the Syndicated Credit Facility.

6. Borrowing from Banks (continued):

During the period, the fund was a participant with other funds in the Fund Complex in a joint, unsecured, uncommitted $500 million line of credit (the Uncommitted Credit Facility), with State Street Bank and Trust Company, maturing on November 27, 2020. Under the terms of the Uncommitted Credit Facility, CSIM pays interest on the amount a fund borrows. There were no borrowings from either line of credit during the period.

The fund also has access to custodian overdraft facilities. The fund may have utilized the overdraft facility and incurred an interest expense, which is paid by CSIM. 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, 2020, purchases and sales/maturities of securities (excluding short-term obligations) were as follows:

Purchases of Securities	Sales of Securities
$248,657,275	$75,628,509

8. Derivatives:

The fund entered into equity index futures contracts during the report period. The fund invested in futures contracts to equitize available cash. The current value and variation margin for futures contracts held at June 30, 2020 are presented on the Portfolio Holdings and Statement of Assets and Liabilities, respectively. The net realized and change in unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts are presented on the Statement of Operations. Refer to financial note 2(b) for the fund’s accounting policies with respect to futures contracts and financial note 3 for disclosures concerning the risks of investing in futures contracts. During the period ended June 30, 2020, the month-end average notional amounts of futures contracts held by the fund and the month-end average number of contracts held were as follows:

	Notional Amounts	Number of Contracts
	$3,596,755	25

9. Federal Income Taxes:

As of June 30, 2020, the tax basis cost of the fund’s investments and gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation were as follows:

Tax cost	$499,375,734
Gross unrealized appreciation	$271,142,711
Gross unrealized depreciation	(13,020,250)
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)	$258,122,461

Capital loss carryforwards may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. As of December 31, 2019, the fund had no capital loss carryforwards available to offset future net capital gains.

Ordinary income	$7,310,257
Long-term capital gains	3,646,245

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval

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 amended and restated investment advisory and administration agreement (the Agreement) between Schwab Annuity Portfolios (the Trust) and Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM) with respect to the existing funds in the Trust, including Schwab S&P 500 Index Portfolio (the Fund), 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, business goals and priorities, profitability, third-party oversight, corporate structure and operations. As part of the renewal process, the Independent Trustees’ legal counsel, on behalf of the Independent Trustees, sends an information request letter to CSIM seeking certain relevant information. The responses by CSIM are provided to the Trustees in the Board materials for their review prior to their meeting, and the Trustees are provided with the opportunity to request any additional materials. The Board also receives data provided by an independent provider of investment company data. This information is in addition to the detailed information about the Fund that the Board reviews during the course of each year, including information that relates to the Fund’s operations and performance, legal and compliance matters, risk management, portfolio turnover, and sales and marketing activity. In considering the renewal, the Independent Trustees receive advice from Independent Trustees’ legal counsel, including a memorandum regarding the responsibilities of trustees for the approval of investment advisory agreements. In addition, the Independent Trustees participate in question and answer sessions with representatives of CSIM and meet in executive session outside the presence of Fund management.

maintain consistent operations and service levels during recent periods of remote work and market volatility. 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 Fund and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.

Fund Performance. The Board considered the Fund’s performance in determining whether to renew the Agreement with respect to the Fund. Specifically, the Trustees considered the Fund’s performance relative to a peer category of other mutual funds and applicable indices/benchmarks, in light of total return and market trends, as well as in consideration of the Fund’s investment style and strategy attributes and disclosures. As part of this review, the Trustees considered the composition of the peer category, selection criteria and the reputation of the independent provider of investment company data who prepared the peer category analysis. In evaluating the performance of the Fund, the Trustees considered the risk profile for the Fund and the Fund’s demonstrated performance in tracking its benchmark index. The Trustees further considered the level of Fund performance in the context of their review of Fund expenses and adviser profitability discussed below and also noted that the Board and a designated committee of the Board review performance throughout the year. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the performance of the Fund supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.

Fund Expenses. With respect to the Fund’s expenses, the Trustees considered the rate of compensation called for by the Agreement in comparison to that of other similar mutual funds, such peer groups and comparisons having been selected and calculated by an independent provider of investment company data. CSIM reported to the Board, and the Board took into account, the risk assumed by CSIM in the development of products and provision of services as well as the competitive marketplace for financial products. The Trustees also considered fees charged by CSIM to other mutual funds and the unique insurance dedicated distribution arrangements of the Fund as compared to other funds managed by CSIM. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the expenses of the Fund are reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.

allocations of certain fixed costs across the Fund and other funds in the complex. The Trustees also considered any other benefits derived by CSIM from its relationship with the Fund, such as whether, by virtue of its management of the Fund, CSIM obtains investment information or other research resources that aid it in providing advisory services to other clients. The Trustees considered whether the compensation and profitability with respect to the Fund under the Agreement and other service agreements were reasonable and justified in light of the quality of all services rendered to the Fund by CSIM and its affiliates. The Trustees noted that CSIM continues to invest substantial sums in its business in order to provide enhanced research capabilities, services, and systems to benefit the Fund. 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 Fund.

Economies of Scale. Although the Trustees recognized the difficulty of determining economies of scale with precision, the Trustees considered the potential existence of any economies of scale by way of the relatively low advisory fee and unitary fee structure of the Fund and whether those are passed along to the Fund’s shareholders through the enhancement of services provided to the Fund in return for fees paid, including through investments by CSIM in CSIM’s infrastructure, including modernizing CSIM’s technology and use of data, increasing expertise and capabilities in key areas (including portfolio and trade operations), and improving business continuity, cybersecurity, due diligence, and information security programs, which are designed to provide enhanced services to the Fund and its shareholders. The Trustees acknowledged that CSIM has shared any economies of scale with the Fund by investing in CSIM’s infrastructure, as discussed above, over time and that CSIM’s internal costs of providing investment management, technology, administrative, legal and compliance services to the Fund continues to increase as a result of regulatory or other developments. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the Fund obtains reasonable benefits from economies of scale.

In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees may have accorded different weights to various factors and 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 Fund and concluded that the compensation under the Agreement with respect to the Fund 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.

¹	The meeting on June 9, 2020 was held telephonically in reliance on exemptive relief from the in-person voting requirement under the 1940 Act as provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Investment Environment

For most of the first two months of the six-month reporting period ended June 30, 2020, U.S. and international stocks rose steadily, with several key U.S. market indices hitting record highs in mid-February. However, beginning in late February, the COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc on the global economy, prompting dramatic social distancing restrictions, shuttering businesses, and resulting in a new record for the fastest U.S. market decline with the S&P 500^® Index, a bellwether for the overall U.S. stock market, dropping 30% in just 22 trading days. By the end of March, governments and central banks around the world had begun passing massive emergency rescue and fiscal stimulus measures in an effort to support their economies. While the extraordinary response prompted a rally in global equity markets from their March lows, historic volatility remained and most global equity markets ended the reporting period in negative territory. Amid this market volatility, fixed-income markets rallied and generated positive returns. For the six-month reporting period, the S&P 500^® Index returned -3.08%, while the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index returned 6.14%. Outside the U.S., the MSCI EAFE^® Index (Net)*, a broad measure of developed international equity performance, returned -11.34%, and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net)* returned -9.78% for the reporting period. The FTSE non-US Dollar World Government Bond Index returned 1.04% for the reporting period.

The Investment Environment (continued)

and April. By June, consumer confidence rose to a three-month high as the economy began to reopen. Inflation crept up slightly in January and February, before retreating in March, April, and May, with April seeing the largest monthly decline since December 2008. Inflation began to climb again in June.

Outside the U.S., conditions continued to soften, dampened by slowing economic output, slumping world trade, geopolitical concerns, and the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated weakness around the globe, dramatically slowing growth amid stay-at-home orders, supply chain disruptions, and broadly diminishing demand. Oil prices deteriorated amid significantly reduced demand, coupled with rising U.S. crude production, and a price war between Russia and Saudi Arabia. In April, oil futures fell into negative territory as storage capacity evaporated and demand waned. However, as production was slashed, relieving pressure on constrained storage capacity, demand stabilized. First quarter growth was negative in the eurozone and the United Kingdom. In January, Brexit occurred with the formal departure of the United Kingdom from the European Union and the United Kingdom entered an 11-month transition period with respect to economic and customs matters. Japan’s economy also contracted. Even China and India, which had maintained stronger growth than many developed economies, declined sharply.

Central banks around the world, including the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed), reduced their policy rates over the reporting period, while others maintained low—and for some international central banks, negative—interest rates. In the U.S., after having enacted three interest rate cuts in the second half of 2019, the Fed cut interest rates twice during the reporting period—by 0.50% in early March and by 1.00% in mid-March, resulting in a federal funds rate of 0.00% to 0.25%. In addition, the Fed also announced extensive emergency measures to support the economy in light of the pandemic, including massive purchases of U.S. Treasuries and other securities to support smooth market functioning, facilitating the flow of credit to municipalities, new financing for employers, consumers, and businesses, and the establishment of facilities to support credit to businesses and consumers alike. Outside the U.S., central banks were similarly accommodative. The European Central Bank held interest rates at 0%, unchanged since March 2016, and launched a new asset purchase program to help counter the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Bank of Japan upheld its short-term interest rate target of -0.1%, also unchanged since 2016, and increased the annual pace of its purchases of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and other assets. The Bank of England lowered its key official bank rate from 0.75% to 0.10% in two emergency rate cuts in March. Central banks in key emerging market economies—including China, India, Mexico, and Russia—lowered their policy rates, initially in response to inflation and trade-related pressures, and subsequently in emergency moves to help mitigate the detrimental impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the first two months of the reporting period, as a result of changes by the Fed, as equity markets plummeted, and as investors sought the perceived safety of asset classes such as fixed-income securities, demand for U.S. Treasuries soared, driving yields to historic lows. (Bond yields and bond prices typically move in opposite directions.) Over the reporting period, short-term rates fell steeply in response to the federal funds rate cuts, with the three-month U.S. Treasury yield falling from 1.55% to 0.16%. Longer-term yields, which are typically more influenced by economic growth and inflation expectations also fell, with the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury falling from 1.92% to 0.66%. Outside the U.S., bond yields generally remained low.

1. Business Structure of the Fund:

Schwab VIT Balanced Portfolio (the fund) is a series of Schwab Annuity Portfolios (the trust), a no-load, open-end management investment company. The trust is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). The list below shows all the funds in the trust as of the end of the period, including the fund discussed in this report, which is highlighted:

SCHWAB ANNUITY PORTFOLIOS (ORGANIZED JANUARY 21, 1994)
Schwab Government Money Market Portfolio
Schwab S&P 500 Index Portfolio
Schwab VIT Balanced Portfolio
Schwab VIT Balanced with Growth Portfolio
Schwab VIT Growth Portfolio

The fund is a “fund of funds” which primarily invests in affiliated Schwab ETFs and unaffiliated third-party ETFs. The fund may also invest in affiliated Schwab mutual funds and Laudus mutual funds and unaffiliated third-party mutual funds (all such ETFs and mutual funds referred to as underlying funds). The fund may also invest directly in equity or fixed-income securities, including bonds, cash equivalents, money market funds and money market investments, to achieve its investment objectives.

The fund is intended as an investment vehicle for variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies to be offered by separate accounts of participating life insurance companies and for pension and retirement plans qualified under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. At June 30, 2020, 100% of the fund’s shares were held through separate accounts of two insurance companies. Subscriptions and redemptions of these insurance separate accounts could have a material impact on the fund.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The financial statements of the fund should be read in conjunction with the underlying funds’ financial statements. For more information about the underlying funds’ operations and policies, please refer to those funds’ semiannual and annual reports, which are filed and available on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) website at www.sec.gov.

(a) Security Valuation:

The fund values the securities in its portfolio every business day. The fund uses the following policies to value various types of securities:

• Underlying funds: Mutual funds are valued at their respective NAVs. ETFs traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the official closing price, if applicable.

₁₃

Schwab VIT Balanced Portfolio | Semiannual Report

Schwab VIT Balanced Portfolio

Financial Notes, unaudited (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

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 the 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 fund pursuant to the valuation procedures.

• Cash management sweep time deposits: Balances held in cash management sweep time deposits are accounted for on a cost basis, which approximates market value.

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

• Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities—Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equities and ETFs. Investments in mutual funds are valued daily at their NAVs, and investments in ETFs are valued daily at the last reported sale price or the official closing price, which are classified as Level 1 prices, without consideration to the classification level of the specific investments held by an underlying fund.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The levels associated with valuing the fund’s investments as of June 30, 2020 are disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings.

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

Securities Lending: Under the trust’s Securities Lending Program, a fund (lender) may make short-term loans of its securities to another party (borrower) to generate additional revenue for the fund. The borrower pledges collateral in the form of cash, securities issued or fully guaranteed by the U.S. government or foreign governments, or letters of credit issued by a bank. Collateral at the individual loan level is required to be maintained on a daily marked-to-market basis in an amount at least equal to the current value of the securities loaned. The lending agent provides the fund with indemnification against borrower default (the borrower fails to return the security on loan) reducing the risk of loss as a result of default. The cash collateral of securities loaned is currently invested in money market portfolios operating under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. The fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the

₁₄

Schwab VIT Balanced Portfolio | Semiannual Report

Schwab VIT Balanced Portfolio

Financial Notes, unaudited (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

investment of cash collateral. The terms of the securities lending agreement allow the fund or the lending agent to terminate any loan at any given time and the securities must be returned within the earlier of the standard trade settlement period or the specified time period under the relevant securities lending agreement. Securities lending income, as disclosed in the fund’s Statement of Operations, if applicable, represents the income earned from the investment of the cash collateral plus any fees paid by borrowers, less the fees paid to the lending agent and broker rebates which are subject to adjustments pursuant to the securities lending agreement. On loans not collateralized by cash, a fee is received from the borrower, and is allocated between the fund and the lending agent. The aggregate market value of securities loaned will not at any time exceed one-third of the total assets of the fund, including collateral received from the loan. Securities lending fees paid to the unaffiliated lending agents start at 10% of gross lending revenue, with subsequent breakpoints to a low of 7.5%. In this context, the gross lending revenue equals the income received from the investment of cash collateral and fees paid by borrowers less any rebates paid to the borrowers. Any expenses charged by the cash collateral fund are in addition to these fees. All remaining revenue is retained by the fund, as applicable. No portion of lending revenue is paid to or retained by Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM or the investment adviser) or any affiliate of CSIM.

As of June 30, 2020, the fund had no securities on loan.

Cash Management Transactions: The fund may subscribe to the Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (BBH) Cash Management Service Sweep (CMS Sweep). The BBH CMS Sweep is an investment product that automatically sweeps the fund’s cash balances into overnight offshore time deposits with either the BBH Grand Cayman branch or a branch of a pre-approved commercial bank. This fully automated program allows the fund to earn interest on cash balances. Excess cash invested with deposit institutions domiciled outside of the U.S., as with any offshore deposit, may be subject to sovereign actions in the jurisdiction of the deposit institution including, but not limited to, freeze, seizure or diminution. The fund bears the risk associated with the repayment of principal and payment of interest on such instruments by the institution with which the deposit is ultimately placed.

(d) Investment Income:

(e) Expenses:

Expenses that are specific to the fund are charged directly to the fund. Expenses that are common to more than one fund in the trusts generally are allocated among those funds in proportion to their average daily net assets. The fund bears its share of the acquired fund fees and expenses of the underlying funds, which are indirect expenses incurred by the fund through its investments in the underlying funds. Such expenses are reflected in the net asset values of the underlying funds.

(f) Distributions to Shareholders:

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

3. Risk Factors:

Investing in the fund may involve certain risks, as discussed in the fund’s 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 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 may cause the fund to underperform other funds with a similar investment objective.

Conflicts of Interest Risk. The investment adviser’s authority to select and substitute underlying funds from a variety of affiliated and unaffiliated mutual funds and ETFs may create a conflict of interest because the fees paid to it and its affiliates by some underlying funds are higher than the fees paid by other underlying funds. The investment adviser also may have an incentive to select an affiliated underlying fund for other reasons, including to increase assets under management or to support new investment strategies. In addition, other conflicts of interest may exist where the best interests of the affiliated underlying fund may not be aligned with those of the fund. However, the investment adviser is a fiduciary to the fund and is legally obligated to act in the fund’s best interests when selecting underlying funds.

ETF Risk. When the fund invests in an ETF, it will bear a proportionate share of the ETF’s expenses. In addition, lack of liquidity in the market for an ETF’s shares can result in its value being more volatile than the underlying portfolio of securities.

Direct Investment Risk. The fund may invest directly in cash, cash equivalents and equity and fixed-income securities, including money market securities, to maintain its 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 securities.

Underlying Fund Investment Risk. Before investing in the fund, investors should assess the risks associated with the underlying funds in which the fund may invest, which include any combination of the risks described below.

• 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, the equity market tends to move in cycles, which may cause stock prices to fall over short or extended periods of time.

• Market Capitalization Risk. Securities issued by companies of different market capitalizations tend to go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. During a period when securities of a particular market capitalization fall behind other types of investments, an underlying fund’s performance could be impacted.

• Foreign Investment Risk. An underlying fund’s investments in securities of foreign issuers involve certain risks that may be 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); the imposition of economic sanctions or other government restrictions; differing accounting, auditing, financial reporting and legal standards and practices; differing securities market structures; and higher transaction costs. These risks may negatively impact the value or liquidity of an underlying fund’s investments, and could impair the underlying fund’s ability to meet its investment objective or invest in accordance with its

₁₆

Schwab VIT Balanced Portfolio | Semiannual Report

Schwab VIT Balanced Portfolio

Financial Notes, unaudited (continued)

3. Risk Factors (continued):

investment strategy. There is a risk that investments in securities denominated in, and/or receiving revenues in, foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency hedged, resulting in the dollar value of an underlying fund’s investment being adversely affected.

• Emerging Markets Risk. Emerging market countries may be more likely to experience political turmoil or rapid changes in market or economic conditions than more developed countries. Emerging market countries often have less uniformity in accounting and reporting requirements and greater risk associated with the custody of securities. In addition, the financial stability of issuers (including governments) in emerging market countries may be more precarious than in developed countries. As a result, there may be an increased risk of illiquidity and price volatility associated with an underlying fund’s investments in emerging market countries, which may be magnified by currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar, and, at times, it may be difficult to value such investments.

• Growth Investing Risk. Certain of the underlying funds pursue a “growth style” of investing. Growth investing focuses on a company’s prospects for growth of revenue and earnings. If a company’s earnings or revenues fall short of expectations, its stock price may fall dramatically. Growth stocks also can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and can be more volatile than other types of stocks. Since growth companies usually invest a high portion of earnings in their business, they may lack the dividends of value stocks that can cushion stock prices in a falling market. Growth stocks may also be more expensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to value or other stocks.

• Value Investing Risk. Certain of the underlying funds may pursue a “value style” of investing. Value investing focuses on companies whose stocks appear undervalued in light of factors such as the company’s earnings, book value, revenues or cash flow. If an underlying fund’s investment adviser’s (or sub-adviser’s) assessment of a company’s value or prospects for exceeding earnings expectations or market conditions is wrong, the underlying fund could suffer losses or produce poor performance relative to other funds. In addition, “value stocks” can continue to be undervalued by the market for long periods of time.

• Fixed Income Risk.Interest rates rise and fall over time, which will affect an underlying fund’s yield and share price. A change in a central bank’s monetary policy or economic conditions, among other things, may result in a change in interest rates, which could have sudden and unpredictable effects on the markets and significantly impact the value of debt securities in which an underlying fund invests. A rise in interest rates could cause an underlying fund’s share price to fall. 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 an underlying 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.

• Interest Rate Risk. Interest rates rise and fall over time. As with any investment whose yield reflects current interest rates, an underlying fund’s yield will change over time. During periods when interest rates are low, an underlying fund’s yield (and total return) also may be low. Changes in interest rates also may affect an underlying fund’s share price: a rise in interest rates generally causes an underlying fund’s share price to fall. The longer an underlying fund’s portfolio duration, the more sensitive to interest rate movements its share price is likely to be. Also, a change in a central bank’s monetary policy or economic conditions, among other things, may result in a change in interest rates, which could have sudden and unpredictable effects on the markets and significantly impact the value of fixed-income securities in which the underlying fund invests.

• Credit Risk. A decline in the credit quality of an issuer or guarantor of a portfolio investment could cause an underlying fund to lose money or underperform. An underlying fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a portfolio investment fails to make timely principal or interest payments or otherwise honor its obligations.

• Prepayment and Extension Risk. Certain fixed income securities are subject to the risk that the securities may be paid off earlier or later than expected, especially during periods of falling or rising interest rates, respectively. Prepayments of obligations could cause an underlying fund to forgo future interest income on the portion of the security’s principal repaid early and force the underlying fund to reinvest that money at the lower prevailing interest rates. Extensions of obligations could cause the fund to exhibit additional volatility and hold securities paying lower-than-market rates of interest. Either case could hurt the underlying fund’s performance.

• U.S. Government Securities Risk. Some of the U.S. government securities that the underlying funds invest in are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, which means they are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. Issuers such as the Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLB) maintain limited access to credit lines from the U.S. Treasury. Certain

₁₇

Schwab VIT Balanced Portfolio | Semiannual Report

Schwab VIT Balanced Portfolio

Financial Notes, unaudited (continued)

3. Risk Factors (continued):

securities, such as obligations issued by the Federal Farm Credit Banks Funding Corporation, are supported solely by the credit of the issuer. There can be no assurance that the U.S. government will provide financial support to securities of its agencies and instrumentalities if it is not obligated to do so under law. Also, any government guarantees on securities the underlying funds own do not extend to shares of the underlying funds themselves.

• Real Estate Investment Risk. An underlying fund in which the fund may invest may have a policy of concentrating its investments in real estate companies and companies related to the real estate industry. As such, an underlying fund is subject to risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate securities and the fund’s investment in such an underlying fund is subject to risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate securities and an investment in the underlying fund will be closely linked to the performance of the real estate markets. These risks include, among others, declines in the value of real estate; risks related to general and local economic conditions; possible lack of availability of mortgage funds or other limits to accessing the credit or capital markets; defaults by borrowers or tenants, particularly during an economic downturn; and changes in interest rates.

• Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) Risk. An underlying fund may invest in REITs. An underlying fund’s investments in REITs will be subject to the risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate, including fluctuations in the value of underlying properties, defaults by borrowers or tenants, changes in interest rates and risks related to general or local economic conditions. REITs are also subject to certain additional risks. For example, equity REITs may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying properties owned by the trusts, and mortgage REITs may be affected by the quality of any credit extended. Further, REITs may have their investments in relatively few properties, a small geographic area or a single property type. In addition, REITs have their own expenses, and the underlying fund will bear a proportionate share of those expenses.

• Mortgage-Backed and Mortgage Pass-Through Securities Risk. Mortgage-backed securities tend to increase in value less than other debt securities when interest rates decline, but are subject to similar or greater risk of decline in market value during periods of rising interest rates. Certain of the mortgage-backed securities in which an underlying fund may invest are issued or guaranteed by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. government but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. There can be no assurance that the U.S. government would provide financial support to its agencies or instrumentalities where it was not obligated to do so which can cause an underlying fund to lose money or underperform. The risks of investing in mortgage-backed securities include, among others, interest rate risk, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. Transactions in mortgage pass-through securities often occur through to be announced (TBA) transactions. An underlying fund could lose money or underperform if a TBA counterparty defaults or goes bankrupt.

• 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 gains distributions.

• Liquidity Risk. An underlying fund may be unable to sell certain securities, such as illiquid securities, readily at a favorable time or price, or the underlying fund may have to sell them at a loss.

• 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. An underlying fund’s use of derivatives could reduce the underlying fund’s performance, increase volatility, and could cause the underlying fund to lose more than the initial 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.

• Securities Lending Risk. Certain underlying funds engage in securities lending, which involves the risk of loss of rights in, or delay in recovery of, the loaned securities if the borrower fails to return the security loaned or becomes insolvent.

• Management Risk. An underlying fund may be an actively managed mutual fund. Any actively managed mutual fund is subject to the risk that its investment adviser (or sub-adviser(s)) will make poor security selections. An underlying fund’s adviser applies its own investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the underlying fund, but there can be no guarantee that they will produce the desired results.

• Investment Style Risk. Certain underlying funds seek to track the performance of various segments of the stock market, as measured by their respective indices. Such underlying funds follow these stocks during upturns as well as downturns. Because of their indexing strategy, these underlying funds do not take steps to reduce market exposure or to lessen the effects of a declining market. In addition, because of an underlying fund’s expenses, the underlying fund’s performance is normally below that of the index.

₁₈

Schwab VIT Balanced Portfolio | Semiannual Report

Schwab VIT Balanced Portfolio

Financial Notes, unaudited (continued)

3. Risk Factors (continued):

• Tracking Error Risk. An underlying fund may seek to track the performance of its benchmark index, although it may not be successful in doing so. The divergence between the performance of a fund and its benchmark index, positive or negative, is called “tracking error.” Tracking error can be caused by many factors and it may be significant.

• Concentration Risk. To the extent that an underlying fund’s portfolio is concentrated in the securities of issuers in a particular market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class, the underlying fund may be adversely affected by the performance of those securities, may be subject to increased price volatility and may be more vulnerable to adverse economic, market, political, or regulatory occurrences affecting that market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class.

• Commodity Risk. To the extent that an underlying fund invests in commodity-linked derivative instruments, it may subject the underlying fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. Also, commodity-linked investments may be more volatile and less liquid than the underlying commodity. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and other regulatory and market developments. The use of leveraged commodity-linked derivatives creates an opportunity for increased return, but also creates the possibility for a greater loss.

• Money Market Fund Risk. The fund may invest in underlying money market funds that either seek to maintain a stable $1 net asset value (“stable share price money market funds”) or that have a share price that fluctuates (“variable share price money market funds”). Although an underlying stable share price money market fund seeks to maintain a stable $1 net asset value, it is possible to lose money by investing in such a money market fund. Because the share price of an underlying variable share price money market fund will fluctuate, when the fund sells the shares it owns they may be worth more or less than what the fund originally paid for them. In addition, neither type of money market fund is designed to offer capital appreciation. Certain underlying money market funds may impose a fee upon the sale of shares or may temporarily suspend the ability to sell shares if such fund’s liquidity falls below required minimums.

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

4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions:

Investment Adviser

CSIM, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Charles Schwab Corporation, serves as the fund’s investment adviser and administrator pursuant to an Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement between CSIM and the trust.

For its advisory and administrative services to the fund, CSIM is entitled to receive an annual fee, accrued daily and payable monthly, equal to 0.45% of the fund’s average daily net assets.

Expense Limitation

CSIM and its affiliates have agreed with the fund, for so long as CSIM serves as the investment adviser to the fund, which may only be amended or terminated with approval of the fund’s Board, to limit the total annual fund operating expenses charged, excluding interest, taxes and certain non-routine expenses to 0.58%.

The agreement to limit the fund’s total expenses charged is limited to the fund’s direct operating expenses and, therefore, does not apply to acquired fund fees and expenses, which are indirect expenses incurred by the fund through its investments in the underlying funds.

(CSIM) with respect to the existing funds in the Trust, including Schwab VIT Balanced Portfolio (the Fund), 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, business goals and priorities, profitability, third-party oversight, corporate structure and operations. As part of the renewal process, the Independent Trustees’ legal counsel, on behalf of the Independent Trustees, sends an information request letter to CSIM seeking certain relevant information. The responses by CSIM are provided to the Trustees in the Board materials for their review prior to their meeting, and the Trustees are provided with the opportunity to request any additional materials. The Board also receives data provided by an independent provider of investment company data. This information is in addition to the detailed information about the Fund that the Board reviews during the course of each year, including information that relates to the Fund’s operations and performance, legal and compliance matters, risk management, portfolio turnover, and sales and marketing activity. In considering the renewal, the Independent Trustees receive advice from Independent Trustees’ legal counsel, including a memorandum regarding the responsibilities of trustees for the approval of investment advisory agreements. In addition, the Independent Trustees participate in question and answer sessions with representatives of CSIM and meet in executive session outside the presence of Fund management.

Fund Performance. The Board considered the Fund’s performance in determining whether to renew the Agreement with respect to the Fund. Specifically, the Trustees considered the Fund’s performance relative to a peer category of other mutual funds and applicable indices/benchmarks, in light of total return and market trends, as well as in consideration of the Fund’s investment style and strategy attributes and disclosures. As part of this review, the Trustees considered the composition of the peer category, selection criteria and the reputation of the independent provider of investment company data who prepared the peer category analysis. In evaluating the performance of the Fund, the Trustees considered the risk profile for the Fund and the appropriateness of the benchmark used to compare the performance of the Fund. The Trustees further considered the level of Fund performance in the context of their review of Fund expenses and adviser profitability discussed below and also noted that the Board and a designated committee of the Board review performance throughout the year. Although the Fund had performance that lagged that of a relevant peer group for certain periods considered, the Board concluded that other factors relevant to performance supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to this Fund including that the underperformance was attributable, to a significant extent, to investment decisions by CSIM that were reasonable and consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies and that CSIM had taken steps designed to help improve performance. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the performance of the Fund supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.

Fund Expenses. With respect to the Fund’s expenses, the Trustees considered the rate of compensation called for by the Agreement and the Fund’s net operating expense ratio, in each case, in comparison to those of other similar mutual funds, such peer groups and comparisons having been selected and calculated by an independent provider of investment company data. CSIM reported to the Board, and the Board took into account, the risk assumed by CSIM in the development of products and provision of services as well as the competitive marketplace for financial products. The Trustees considered the effects of CSIM’s and Schwab’s practice of waiving certain fees to prevent total annual operating expenses of the Fund from exceeding a specified cap. The Trustees also considered CSIM’s contractual commitment to keep the expense cap for so long as CSIM serves as the adviser to the Fund. The Trustees also considered fees charged by CSIM to other mutual funds and the unique insurance dedicated distribution arrangements of the Fund as compared to other funds managed by CSIM. The Trustees noted that shareholders of the Fund indirectly pay their pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the underlying funds in which the Fund invests. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the

context of its full deliberations, that the expenses of the Fund are reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.

Profitability. The Trustees considered the compensation flowing to CSIM and its affiliates, directly or indirectly, and reviewed profitability on a pre-tax basis, without regard to distribution expenses. In this connection, the Trustees reviewed management’s profitability analyses. The Trustees also reviewed profitability of CSIM relating to the Schwab fund complex as a whole, noting the benefits to Fund shareholders of being part of the Schwab fund complex, including the allocations of certain fixed costs across the Fund and other funds in the complex. The Trustees also considered any other benefits derived by CSIM from its relationship with the Fund, such as whether, by virtue of its management of the Fund, CSIM obtains investment information or other research resources that aid it in providing advisory services to other clients. Also, because the Fund invests a portion of its assets in other funds within the Schwab fund complex, the Trustees considered that CSIM indirectly benefits from the Fund’s investments in other underlying funds managed by CSIM. The Trustees considered whether the compensation and profitability with respect to the Fund under the Agreement and other service agreements were reasonable and justified in light of the quality of all services rendered to the Fund by CSIM and its affiliates. The Trustees noted that CSIM continues to invest substantial sums in its business in order to provide enhanced research capabilities, services, and systems to benefit the Fund. 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 Fund.

Economies of Scale. Although the Trustees recognized the difficulty of determining economies of scale with precision, the Trustees considered the potential existence of any economies of scale and whether those are passed along to the Fund’s shareholders through the enhancement of services provided to the Fund in return for fees paid, including through investments by CSIM in CSIM’s infrastructure, including modernizing CSIM’s technology and use of data, increasing expertise and capabilities in key areas (including portfolio and trade operations), and improving business continuity, cybersecurity, due diligence, and information security programs, which are designed to provide enhanced services to the Fund and its shareholders. The Trustees acknowledged that CSIM has shared any economies of scale with the Fund by investing in CSIM’s infrastructure, as discussed above, over time and that CSIM’s internal costs of providing investment management, technology, administrative, legal and compliance services to the Fund continues to increase as a result of regulatory or other developments. The Trustees considered that CSIM and its affiliates may employ contractual expense caps to protect shareholders from high fees when fund assets are relatively small, for example, in the case of newer funds or funds with investment strategies that are from time to time out of favor, because, among other reasons, shareholders may benefit from the continued availability of such funds at subsidized expense levels. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within

the context of its full deliberations, that the Fund obtains reasonable benefits from economies of scale.

Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the Agreement with respect to the Fund and concluded that the compensation under the Agreement with respect to the Fund 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.

1. Business Structure of the Fund:

Schwab VIT Balanced with Growth Portfolio (the fund) is a series of Schwab Annuity Portfolios (the trust), a no-load, open-end management investment company. The trust is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). The list below shows all the funds in the trust as of the end of the period, including the fund discussed in this report, which is highlighted:

SCHWAB ANNUITY PORTFOLIOS (ORGANIZED JANUARY 21, 1994)

Schwab VIT Balanced Portfolio
Schwab VIT Balanced with Growth Portfolio

The fund is intended as an investment vehicle for variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies to be offered by separate accounts of participating life insurance companies and for pension and retirement plans qualified under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. At June 30, 2020, 100% of the fund’s shares were held through separate accounts of two insurance companies.

Financial Notes, unaudited (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

• Cash management sweep time deposits: Balances held in cash management sweep time deposits are accounted for on a cost basis, which approximates market value.

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

• Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities—Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equities and ETFs. Investments in mutual funds are valued daily at their NAVs, and investments in ETFs are valued daily at the last reported sale price or the official closing price, which are classified as Level 1 prices, without consideration to the classification level of the specific investments held by an underlying fund.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The levels associated with valuing the fund’s investments as of June 30, 2020 are disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval

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 and administration agreement (the Agreement) between Schwab Annuity Portfolios (the Trust) and Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM) with respect to the existing funds in the Trust, including Schwab VIT Balanced with Growth Portfolio (the Fund), 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, business goals and priorities, profitability, third-party oversight, corporate structure and operations. As part of the renewal process, the Independent Trustees’ legal counsel, on behalf of the Independent Trustees, sends an information request letter to CSIM seeking certain relevant information. The responses by CSIM are provided to the Trustees in the Board materials for their review prior to their meeting, and the Trustees are provided with the opportunity to request any additional materials. The Board also receives data provided by an independent provider of investment company data. This information is in addition to the detailed information about the Fund that the Board reviews during the course of each year, including information that relates to the Fund’s operations and performance, legal and compliance matters, risk management, portfolio turnover, and sales and marketing activity. In considering the renewal, the Independent Trustees receive advice from Independent Trustees’ legal counsel, including a memorandum regarding the responsibilities of trustees for the approval of investment advisory agreements. In addition, the Independent Trustees participate in question and answer sessions with representatives of CSIM and meet in executive session outside the presence of Fund management.

Fund Performance. The Board considered the Fund’s performance in determining whether to renew the Agreement with respect to the Fund. Specifically, the Trustees considered the Fund’s performance relative to a peer category of other mutual funds and applicable indices/benchmarks, in light of total return and market trends, as well as in consideration of the Fund’s investment style and strategy attributes and disclosures. As part of this review, the Trustees considered the composition of the peer category, selection criteria and the reputation of the independent provider of investment company data who prepared the peer category analysis. In evaluating the performance of the Fund, the Trustees considered the risk profile for the Fund and the appropriateness of the benchmark used to compare the performance of the Fund. The Trustees further considered the level of Fund performance in the context of their review of Fund expenses and adviser profitability discussed below and also noted that the Board and a designated committee of the Board review performance throughout the year. Following such evaluation the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the performance of the Fund supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.

Fund Expenses. With respect to the Fund’s expenses, the Trustees considered the rate of compensation called for by the Agreement and the Fund’s net operating expense ratio, in each case, in comparison to those of other similar mutual funds, such peer groups and comparisons having been selected and calculated by an independent provider of investment company data. CSIM reported to the Board, and the Board took into account, the risk assumed by CSIM in the development of products and provision of services as well as the competitive marketplace for financial products. The Trustees considered the effects of CSIM’s and Schwab’s practice of waiving certain fees to prevent total annual operating expenses of the Fund from exceeding a specified cap. The Trustees also considered CSIM’s contractual commitment to keep the expense cap for so long as CSIM serves as the adviser to the Fund. The Trustees also considered fees charged by CSIM to other mutual funds and the unique insurance dedicated distribution arrangements of the Fund as compared to other funds managed by CSIM. The Trustees noted that shareholders of the Fund indirectly pay their pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the underlying funds in which the Fund invests. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the expenses of the Fund are reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.

also reviewed profitability of CSIM relating to the Schwab fund complex as a whole, noting the benefits to Fund shareholders of being part of the Schwab fund complex, including the allocations of certain fixed costs across the Fund and other funds in the complex. The Trustees also considered any other benefits derived by CSIM from its relationship with the Fund, such as whether, by virtue of its management of the Fund, CSIM obtains investment information or other research resources that aid it in providing advisory services to other clients. Also, because the Fund invests a portion of its assets in other funds within the Schwab fund complex, the Trustees considered that CSIM indirectly benefits from the Fund’s investments in other underlying funds managed by CSIM. The Trustees considered whether the compensation and profitability with respect to the Fund under the Agreement and other service agreements were reasonable and justified in light of the quality of all services rendered to the Fund by CSIM and its affiliates. The Trustees noted that CSIM continues to invest substantial sums in its business in order to provide enhanced research capabilities, services, and systems to benefit the Fund. 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 Fund.

Economies of Scale. Although the Trustees recognized the difficulty of determining economies of scale with precision, the Trustees considered the potential existence of any economies of scale and whether those are passed along to the Fund’s shareholders through the enhancement of services provided to the Fund in return for fees paid, including through investments by CSIM in CSIM’s infrastructure, including modernizing CSIM’s technology and use of data, increasing expertise and capabilities in key areas (including portfolio and trade operations), and improving business continuity, cybersecurity, due diligence, and information security programs, which are designed to provide enhanced services to the Fund and its shareholders. The Trustees acknowledged that CSIM has shared any economies of scale with the Fund by investing in CSIM’s infrastructure, as discussed above, over time and that CSIM’s internal costs of providing investment management, technology, administrative, legal and compliance services to the Fund continues to increase as a result of regulatory or other developments. The Trustees considered that CSIM and its affiliates may employ contractual expense caps to protect shareholders from high fees when fund assets are relatively small, for example, in the case of newer funds or funds with investment strategies that are from time to time out of favor, because, among other reasons, shareholders may benefit from the continued availability of such funds at subsidized expense levels. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the Fund obtains reasonable benefits from economies of scale.

1. Business Structure of the Fund:

Schwab VIT Growth Portfolio (the fund) is a series of Schwab Annuity Portfolios (the trust), a no-load, open-end management investment company. The trust is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). The list below shows all the funds in the trust as of the end of the period, including the fund discussed in this report, which is highlighted:

SCHWAB ANNUITY PORTFOLIOS (ORGANIZED JANUARY 21, 1994)
Schwab Government Money Market Portfolio
Schwab S&P 500 Index Portfolio
Schwab VIT Balanced Portfolio
Schwab VIT Balanced with Growth Portfolio
Schwab VIT Growth Portfolio

The fund is intended as an investment vehicle for variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies to be offered by separate accounts of participating life insurance companies and for pension and retirement plans qualified under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. At June 30, 2020, 100% of the fund’s shares were held through separate accounts of two insurance companies. Subscriptions and redemptions of these insurance separate accounts could have a material impact on the fund.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

• Cash management sweep time deposits: Balances held in cash management sweep time deposits are accounted for on a cost basis, which approximates market value.

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

• Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities—Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equities and ETFs. Investments in mutual funds are valued daily at their NAVs, and investments in ETFs are valued daily at the last reported sale price or the official closing price, which are classified as Level 1 prices, without consideration to the classification level of the specific investments held by an underlying fund.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The levels associated with valuing the fund’s investments as of June 30, 2020 are disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval

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 and administration agreement (the Agreement) between Schwab Annuity Portfolios (the Trust) and Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM) with respect to the existing funds in the Trust, including Schwab VIT Growth Portfolio (the Fund), 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, business goals and priorities, profitability, third-party oversight, corporate structure and operations. As part of the renewal process, the Independent Trustees’ legal counsel, on behalf of the Independent Trustees, sends an information request letter to CSIM seeking certain relevant information. The responses by CSIM are provided to the Trustees in the Board materials for their review prior to their meeting, and the Trustees are provided with the opportunity to request any additional materials. The Board also receives data provided by an independent provider of investment company data. This information is in addition to the detailed information about the Fund that the Board reviews during the course of each year, including information that relates to the Fund’s operations and performance, legal and compliance matters, risk management, portfolio turnover, and sales and marketing activity. In considering the renewal, the Independent Trustees receive advice from Independent Trustees’ legal counsel, including a memorandum regarding the responsibilities of trustees for the approval of investment advisory agreements. In addition, the Independent Trustees participate in question and answer sessions with representatives of CSIM and meet in executive session outside the presence of Fund management.

one-year term at the meeting on June 9, 2020 called for the purpose of voting on such approval.¹

1.	the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Agreement, including the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund;
2.	the Fund’s investment performance and how it compared to that of certain other comparable mutual funds and benchmark data;
3.	the Fund’s expenses and how those expenses compared to those of certain other similar mutual funds;
4.	the profitability of CSIM and its affiliates, including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (Schwab), with respect to the 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 Fund grows and whether fee levels in the Agreement reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors.

Schwab VIT Growth Portfolio | Semiannual Report

Fund Performance. The Board considered the Fund’s performance in determining whether to renew the Agreement with respect to the Fund. Specifically, the Trustees considered the Fund’s performance relative to a peer category of other mutual funds and applicable indices/benchmarks, in light of total return and market trends, as well as in consideration of the Fund’s investment style and strategy attributes and disclosures. As part of this review, the Trustees considered the composition of the peer category, selection criteria and the reputation of the independent provider of investment company data who prepared the peer category analysis. In evaluating the performance of the Fund, the Trustees considered the risk profile for the Fund and the appropriateness of the benchmark used to compare the performance of the Fund. The Trustees further considered the level of Fund performance in the context of their review of Fund expenses and adviser profitability discussed below and also noted that the Board and a designated committee of the Board review performance throughout the year. Following such evaluation the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the performance of the Fund supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.

Fund Expenses. With respect to the Fund’s expenses, the Trustees considered the rate of compensation called for by the Agreement and the Fund’s net operating expense ratio, in each case, in comparison to those of other similar mutual funds, such peer groups and comparisons having been selected and calculated by an independent provider of investment company data. CSIM reported to the Board, and the Board took into account, the risk assumed by CSIM in the development of products and provision of services as well as the competitive marketplace for financial products. The Trustees considered the effects of CSIM’s and Schwab’s practice of waiving certain fees to prevent total annual operating expenses of the Fund from exceeding a specified cap. The Trustees also considered CSIM’s contractual commitment to keep the expense cap for so long as CSIM serves as the adviser to the Fund. The Trustees also considered fees charged by CSIM to other mutual funds and the unique insurance dedicated distribution arrangements of the Fund as compared to other funds managed by CSIM. The Trustees noted that shareholders of the Fund indirectly pay their pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the underlying funds in which the Fund invests. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the expenses of the Fund are reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.

Economies of Scale. Although the Trustees recognized the difficulty of determining economies of scale with precision, the Trustees considered the potential existence of any economies of scale and whether those are passed along to the Fund’s shareholders through the enhancement of services provided to the Fund in return for fees paid, including through investments by CSIM in CSIM’s infrastructure, including modernizing CSIM’s technology and use of data, increasing expertise and capabilities in key areas (including portfolio and trade operations), and improving business continuity, cybersecurity, due diligence, and information security programs, which are designed to provide enhanced services to the Fund and its shareholders. The Trustees acknowledged that CSIM has shared any economies of scale with the Fund by investing in CSIM’s infrastructure, as discussed above, over time and that CSIM’s internal costs of providing investment management, technology, administrative, legal and compliance services to the Fund continues to increase as a result of regulatory or other developments. The Trustees considered that CSIM and its affiliates may employ contractual expense caps to protect shareholders from high fees when fund assets are relatively small, for example, in the case of newer funds or funds with investment strategies that are from time to time out of favor, because, among other reasons, shareholders may benefit from the continued availability of such funds at subsidized expense levels. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the Fund obtains reasonable benefits from economies of scale.
