All fund and index figures on this page assume dividends and distributions were reinvested. Index figures do not include trading and management costs, which would lower performance. Indices are unmanaged, and you cannot invest in them directly. Performance results less than one year are not annualized. Performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares.
 
Exchange-traded funds are subject to risks similar to those of stocks. Investment returns will fluctuate and are subject to market volatility, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed or sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Unlike mutual funds, shares of ETFs are not individually redeemable directly with the ETF. Shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.
 
Index ownership — “Dow Jones” and the names identifying the Dow Jones Indexes underlying Schwab’s Domestic ETFs are trademarks of Dow Jones & Company, Inc. and have been licensed for use for certain purposes by Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. The Schwab ETFs are not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by Dow Jones and Dow Jones makes no representation regarding the advisability of investing in such products.
 
Inception represents the date that the shares began trading in the secondary market. For the Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF, Schwab U.S. Large-Cap ETF, and Schwab U.S. Small-Cap ETF, total returns are since inception date of 11/3/09. For the Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF and Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Value ETF, total returns are since inception date of 12/11/09. These total returns may differ from those disclosed in the Financial Highlights, as the total returns in the Financial Highlights are calculated from the commencement of operations date which is the first day the NAV was determined.
 
The fund’s per share net asset value (“NAV”) is the value of one share of the fund. NAV is calculated by taking the fund’s total assets (including the market value of securities owned), subtracting liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV Return is based on the NAV of the fund, and the Market Price Return is based on the market price per share of the fund. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which the shares of the fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the fund’s NAV is calculated. NAV is used as a proxy for purposes of calculating Market Price Return on inception date. Market Price and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively.
 
The Morningstar Category return represents all passively- and actively-managed ETFs within the category as of the report date.

From the President
 

MERK PHOTO
 
Randall W. Merk is President and CEO of Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. and the funds covered in this report.

 
Dear Shareholder,
 
We are pleased to provide you this first annual report for the Schwab U.S. equity Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). The content covers the period from the inception date of each fund through August 31, 2010, and includes information about the performance and management of the five U.S. equity ETFs.
 
Schwab is committed to offering investors ETFs that can play an important role in building a diversified portfolio, at low cost. In June 2010, we reduced the operating expense ratios on six of our eight equity ETFs, making Schwab ETF expense ratios among the lowest in the industry. Moreover, in August 2010, we launched three new fixed income ETFs that offer investors broad access to the U.S. Treasury markets. With the addition of the Schwab U.S. TIPS ETFtm, the Schwab Short-Term U.S. Treasury ETFtm, and the Schwab Intermediate-Term U.S. Treasury ETFtm, investors can now choose from our growing suite of Schwab ETFstm to gain exposure to a core asset class or to combine several ETFs as part of a diversified portfolio.
 
All five of the U.S. equity ETFs had returns that were consistent with their respective indices for the reporting period. For details about each fund’s performance, please see the managers’ discussion and analysis in the following pages. If you have any questions about the Schwab ETFs or any of our mutual funds, we are always available at 1-800-435-4000, and additional resources may be found on schwab.com.
 
Thank you for investing with us.
 
Sincerely,
 
-s- Randall W. Merk
 
 
Investors should consider carefully information contained in the prospectus, including investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. You can request a prospectus by calling Schwab at 800-435-4000. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.

The Investment Environment
 
 
After hitting multi-year lows in the first quarter of 2009, the U.S. equity market delivered strong gains into the first quarter of 2010 before seeing a decline toward summer of 2010. Talks of a double-dip recession for the U.S. economy also led to volatility in the market as various economic indicators showed less than upbeat results.
 
During the reporting period,* the U.S. economy struggled to gain sustainable momentum. The federal funds rate remained in the low range of 0.00−0.25%, housing prices hit ten-year lows, foreclosures reached new highs, and sales of new and existing homes continued to fall. Early 2010 showed some improvement in unemployment, though national numbers still lingered at just below 10%, even as new factory orders increased.
 
Investor confidence was further shaken on May 6, 2010, when the U.S. stock market plunged, recording a brief, but alarming drop in the Dow Jones Industrial Average (the Dow) of 999 points within a 30-minute timeframe before partially rebounding. The equity market event was subsequently named the “flash crash.” As a result of the “flash crash,” more than 16,000 trades were cancelled by the major U.S. stock exchanges, of which ETFs represented approximately 67%. Performance of Schwab ETFs that were exposed to the event remained consistent with their respective indices for the reporting period.
 
During the period following the “flash crash” through August 31, 2010, nearly all major U.S. equity indices posted negative returns. Strong gains experienced earlier in the year offset these declines, however. The S&P 500® Index and Russell 2000® Index posted positive performance for the reporting period, returning 2.39% and 8.20%, respectively. U.S. markets outperformed the international developed markets as measured by the MSCI EAFE® Index, which returned −4.32%. Bond markets outperformed the equity markets during the period, as the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index reported a 7.61% return and the Barclays Capital U.S. TIPS Index returned 6.85%.

Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF™
 
 
The Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF seeks to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the total return of the Dow Jones U.S. Broad Stock Market IndexSM. The index includes the largest 2,500 constituents in the Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market IndexSM and represents approximately 99% of the investable U.S. stock market. The fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the index that collectively has a similar investment profile to the index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the fund may or may not hold all of the securities in the index.
 
During the reporting period that began with the fund’s inception date of November 3, 2009, and ended August 31, 2010, the fund’s market price return was 3.70% and its NAV return was 3.74%. (For an explanation of the market price and NAV returns, please refer to footnote 3 on the following page). The index returned 3.88% during the same period.
 
The best performing sectors in the fund’s index were Telecommunication Services and Consumer Discretionary. For both the fund and the index, Consumer Discretionary, at close to 11% of the fund’s net assets, was the strongest positive contributor to returns. The Energy Sector, at over 10% of the fund’s net assets, was the only negative detractor from returns.
 
Seven of the fund’s ten largest holdings posted positive returns for the reporting period. Apple gained the most, while Exxon Mobil and Microsoft experienced the worst declines.

NAV is calculated by taking the fund’s total assets (including the market value of securities owned), subtracting liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV Return is based on the NAV of the fund, and the Market Price Return is based on the market price per share of the fund. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which the shares of the fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the fund’s NAV is calculated. NAV is used as a proxy for purposes of calculating Market Price Return on inception date. Market Price and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

Table of Contents

 
Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
 
 Examples for a $1,000 Investment
 
As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: transaction costs, such as redemption fees, and ongoing costs, such as management fees, transfer agent and shareholder services fees, and other fund expenses.
 
The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing cost (in dollars) of investing in a fund and to compare this cost with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds. These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested for six months beginning March 1, 2010 and held through August 31, 2010.
 
Actual Return lines in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value ¸ $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund or share class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”
 
Hypothetical Return lines in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed return of 5% per year before expenses. Because the return used is not an actual return, it may not be used to estimate the actual ending account value or expenses you paid for the period.
 
You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1. Business Structure of the Funds
 
Each of the funds discussed in this report is a series of Schwab Strategic Trust (the “trust”), a no-load, open-end management investment company. The trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The list below shows all the funds in the trust including the funds discussed in this report, which are highlighted:
 
     
 
Schwab Strategic Trust (organized January 27, 2009)
Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF
Schwab U.S. Large-Cap ETF
Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF
Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Value ETF
Schwab U.S. Small-Cap ETF
  Schwab International Equity ETF
Schwab International Small-Cap ETF
Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF
Schwab U.S. TIPS ETF
Schwab Short-Term U.S. Treasury ETF
Schwab Intermediate-Term U.S. Treasury ETF
     
 
The funds issue and redeem shares at their NAV only in large blocks of shares, typically 50,000 shares or more (“Creation Units”). These transactions are usually in exchange for a basket of securities and an amount of cash. As a practical matter, only institutions purchase or redeem Creation Units. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of the fund are not redeemable securities.
 
Fund shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of the shares of each fund will approximate its NAV, there may be times when the market price and the NAV vary significantly.
 
Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF, Schwab U.S. Large-Cap ETF and Schwab U.S. Small-Cap ETF commenced operations on October 30, 2009. Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF and Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Value ETF commenced operations on December 9, 2009.
 
Each fund maintains its own account for purposes of holding assets and accounting, and is considered a separate entity for tax purposes. Within its account, each fund may also keep certain assets in segregated accounts, as required by securities law.
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
 
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies the funds use in the preparation of their financial statements. The accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
 
(a) Security Valuation:
 
The funds value the securities in their portfolios every business day. The funds use the following policies to value various types of securities:
 
  •  Securities traded on an exchange or over-the-counter: valued at the closing value for the day, or, on days when no closing value has been reported, halfway between the most recent bid and asked quotes. Securities that are primarily traded on foreign exchanges are valued at the closing values of such securities on their respective exchanges with these values then translated into U.S. dollars at the valuation date exchange rate.
 
  •  Securities for which no quoted value is available: The Board of Trustees has adopted procedures to fair value each fund’s securities when market prices are not “readily available” or are unreliable. For example, a fund may fair value a security when a security 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 when a security’s primary trading market is closed during regular market hours. Each fund makes fair value determinations in good faith in accordance with the fund’s valuation procedures. The Board of Trustees regularly reviews fair value determinations made by the funds pursuant to the procedures.
 
  •  Short-term securities (60 days or less to maturity): valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
 
  •  Underlying funds: valued at their respective net asset values as determined by those funds in accordance with the 1940 Act for a given day.
 
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value.

Financial Notes (continued)
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (level 3 measurements).
 
If the funds determine that either the volume and/or level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased (from normal conditions for that asset or liability) or price quotations or observable inputs are not associated with orderly transactions, increased analysis and management judgment will be required to estimate fair value.
 
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
 
  •  Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities — Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equities. The funds do not adjust the quoted price for such investments, even in situations where the funds hold a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.
 
  •  Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) — Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but whose values are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified as Level 2 prices. These generally include U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, certain mortgage products, less liquid listed equities, and state, municipal and provincial obligations. As investments whose values are classified as Level 2 prices include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information.
 
  •  Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) — Investments whose values are classified as Level 3 prices have significant unobservable inputs, as they may trade infrequently or not at all. When observable prices are not available for these securities, the funds use one or more valuation techniques for which sufficient and reliable data is available. The inputs used by the funds in estimating the value of Level 3 prices may include the original transaction price, quoted prices for similar securities or assets in active markets, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows. Level 3 prices may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the funds in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the funds due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the funds’ results of operations.
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the funds’ investments as of August 31, 2010:

(a)
  As categorized in Portfolio Holdings.
 
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued new guidance requiring reporting entities to make new disclosures about amounts and reasons for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements as well as inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3, and information on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of Level 3 securities on a gross basis. The new and revised disclosures are required to be implemented for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures surrounding purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of Level 3 fair value measurements on a gross basis, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years.

Financial Notes (continued)
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
The funds have adopted the new guidance for the current period ended August 31, 2010. There were no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for the period ended August 31, 2010. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the other provisions of the new guidance on the funds’ financial statements.
 
(b) Security Transactions:
 
Security transactions are recorded as of the date the order to buy or sell the security is executed. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are based on the identified costs of the securities involved.
 
(c) Investment Income:
 
Interest income is recorded as it accrues. Dividends and distributions from portfolio securities and underlying funds are recorded on the date they are effective (the ex-dividend date), although the funds record certain foreign security dividends on the day they learn of the ex-dividend date.
 
(d) Expenses:
 
Expenses that are specific to a fund are charged directly to that fund. Expenses that are common to all funds within the trust generally are allocated among the funds in proportion to their average daily net assets. The investment adviser will pay the operating expenses of the funds, excluding interest expenses, taxes, any brokerage expenses, and extraordinary or non-routine expenses.
 
(e) Distributions to Shareholders:
 
The funds declare distributions from net investment income every quarter and net realized capital gains, if any, once a year.
 
(f) Accounting Estimates:
 
The accounting policies described in this report conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Notwithstanding this, shareholders should understand that in order to follow these principles, fund management has to make estimates and assumptions that affect the information reported in the financial statements. It’s possible that once the results are known, they may turn out to be different from these estimates, and these differences may be material.
 
(g) Federal Income Taxes:
 
The funds intend to meet federal income and excise tax requirements for regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the funds distribute substantially all of their net investment income and realized net capital gains (if any) to their respective shareholders each year. As long as a fund meets the tax requirements, it is not required to pay federal income tax.
 
(h) Indemnification:
 
Under the funds’ organizational documents, the officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the funds. In addition, in the normal course of business the funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide general indemnifications. The funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the funds. However, based on experience, the funds expect the risk of loss to the fund to be remote.
 
3. Risk factors:
 
Investing in the funds may involve certain risks, as described in the funds’ prospectus, including, but not limited to, those described below:
 
Stock markets rise and fall daily. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of the investments in a fund will fluctuate, which means that the investors could lose money.
 
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. Individual companies may report poor results or be negatively affected by industry and/or economic trends and developments. The prices of securities issued by such companies may suffer a decline in response.

Financial Notes (continued)
 
3. Risk factors (continued):
 
In addition, the equity market tends to move in cycles which may cause stock prices to fall over short or extended periods of time.
 
Historically, small and mid company stocks have been riskier than large company stocks. Stock prices of smaller companies may be based in substantial part on future expectations rather than current achievements and may move sharply, especially during market upturns and downturns. Smaller companies themselves may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. During a period when small-cap stocks fall behind other types of investments — bonds, large-cap stocks and mid-cap stocks — a fund’s performance, to the extent invested in small-cap stocks, also will lag those other types of investments.
 
The funds are not actively managed. Therefore, the funds follow the stocks included in the index during upturns as well as downturns. Because of its indexing strategy, the funds do 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 funds’ performance is normally below that of the index.
 
Certain funds may not fully replicate the index and may hold securities not included in the index. As a result, these funds are subject to the risk that the investment adviser’s investment management strategy, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results. Because these funds use a sampling approach, they may not track the return of the index as well as they would if the funds purchased all of the equity securities in the index.
 
The funds’ returns may not match the return of their indices. For example, differences between a fund’s securities and those in the index, rounding of prices, changes to the index and regulatory requirements may cause tracking error, the divergence of a fund’s performance from that of its index. A fund may not be able to invest in certain securities in its benchmark index, or match the securities’ weighting to the benchmark, due to regulatory, operational or liquidity constraints, which may result in tracking error. A fund may attempt to offset the effects of not being invested in certain index securities by making substitute investments, but these efforts may not be successful. A fund also incurs fees and expenses while the index does not, which may result in tracking error.
 
A fund’s use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments and could cause the fund to lose more than the principal amount invested. In addition, investments in derivatives may involve leverage, which means a small percentage of assets invested in derivatives can have a disproportionately larger impact on the fund.
 
To the extent that the funds or the indices portfolios are concentrated in the securities of issuers in a particular market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class, the funds may be adversely affected by the performance of those securities, may be subject to increased price volatility and may be more susceptible to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory occurrences affecting that market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class.
 
A particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell. The funds may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price.
 
A fund may lend its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers, and other financial institutions provided a number of conditions are satisfied, including that the loan is fully collateralized. Securities lending involves the risk of loss of rights in the collateral or delay in recovery of the collateral if the borrower fails to return the security loaned or becomes insolvent.
 
Fund shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of the shares of the fund will approximate the fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price and the NAV vary significantly. Investors may pay more than NAV when they buy shares of the fund in the secondary market, and may receive less than NAV when they sell those shares in the secondary market.
 
An investment in a fund is not a bank deposit and it is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other governmental agency.
 
Please refer to the funds’ prospectus for a complete description of the principal risks of investing in the funds.

4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions:
 
Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (“CSIM” or the “investment adviser”), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Charles Schwab Corporation, serves as each fund’s investment adviser and administrator pursuant to an Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement (Advisory Agreement) between it and the trust.
 
For its advisory and administrative services to each fund, the investment adviser is entitled to receive an annual fee payable monthly based on the fund’s average daily net assets described as follows:
 
Effective June 14, 2010, the expense ratio is:

The investment adviser will pay the operating expenses of the funds, excluding interest expenses, taxes, any brokerage expenses, and extraordinary or non-routine expenses.
 
Prior to December 14, 2009, the Trust had a Distribution and Shareholder Services (12b-1) Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to which the fund was subject to an annual 12b-1 fee up to 0.25% of its average daily net assets. The Board had determined that no such fees would be charged under the plan until November 14, 2011. However, on December 14, 2009, the Board of Trustees of the Trust approved the termination of the Plan.
 
The funds may engage in certain transactions involving affiliates, including investing in outstanding shares of The Charles Schwab Corporation. Below is a summary of investing and income activity involving The Charles Schwab Corporation during the period ended August 31, 2010:

  Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF and Schwab U.S. Large-Cap ETF commenced operations on October 30, 2009. Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF commenced operations on December 9, 2009.
 
The funds may engage in direct transactions with certain other Schwab ETFs when practical. 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 officers. During the period ended August 31, 2010, there were no security transactions with other Schwab ETFs.
 
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the funds may enter into interfund borrowing and lending transactions within the Schwab Funds including Schwab ETFs. All loans are for temporary or emergency purposes only. The interest rate charged on the loan is the average of the overnight repurchase agreement rate and the short-term bank loan rate. The interfund lending facility is subject to the oversight and periodic review of the Board of Trustees of the Schwab Funds. The funds had no interfund borrowing or lending activity during the period.

5. Other Service Providers:
 
SEI Investments Distribution Co. (the “Distributor”) is the principal underwriter and distributor of shares of the funds.
 
State Street Bank and Trust Company serves as the funds’ transfer agent. As part of these services, the transfer agent maintains records pertaining to the sale, redemption and transfer of the funds’ shares.
 
State Street Bank and Trust Company also serves as custodian and accountant for the funds. The custodian is responsible for the daily safekeeping of securities and cash held or sold by the funds. The funds’ accountant maintains all books and records related to the funds’ transactions.
 
6. Board of Trustees:
 
Trustees may include people who are officers and/or directors of the investment adviser or an affiliate. 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 period. The trust did not pay any of these persons for their service as trustees.
 
7. Purchases and Sales/Maturities of Investment Securities:
 
For the period ended August 31, 2010, purchases and sales/maturities of securities (excluding in-kind transactions and short-term obligations) were as follows:
 
                 
 
Purchases of Securities
 
Sales/Maturities of Securities
 
Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF
    $6,168,166       $4,060,116

Schwab U.S. Small-Cap ETF
    14,600,863       10,326,746  
 
8. In-Kind Transactions:
 
The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a fund generally consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of equity securities, which constitutes an optimized representation of the securities involved in a relevant fund’s underlying index, and an amount of cash. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to State Street Bank and Trust Company, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.
 
The in-kind transactions for the period ended August 31, 2010 were as follows:
 
                 
 
In-kind Purchases
 
In-kind Sales
 
Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF
    $317,020,286       $27,898,783

Schwab U.S. Small-Cap ETF
    262,535,024       55,086,984  
 
For the period ended August 31, 2010, certain funds realized net capital gains or losses resulting from in-kind redemptions of large blocks of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”). Because such gains or losses are not taxable to the funds and are not distributed to existing fund shareholders, the gains or losses are reclassified from accumulated net realized gains or losses to paid-in-capital at the end of the funds’ tax year. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. The net realized in-kind gains or losses for the period ended August 31, 2010 are disclosed in the funds’ Statements of Operations.

Unrealized depreciation
    (26,099,833 )     (25,279,706 )     (10,957,980 )     (5,555,828 )     (27,237,386 )
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation)
    (20,404,003 )     (19,927,077 )     (7,770,565 )     (4,267,603 )     (22,104,794 )
 
The primary difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation or unrealized depreciation of investments is the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITS).
 
For tax purposes, net realized capital losses occurring after October 31, may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. As of August 31, 2010, capital losses deferred for each fund were as follows:

Long-term capital gains
                             
Return of capital
                             
 
Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax basis, which may differ from net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes. These differences are due primarily to differing treatment for items such as short-term capital gains and losses; in-kind transactions; capital losses related to wash sales and income on certain investments. The fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the net investment income and net realized gains are recorded by the fund for financial reporting purposes. The fund may also designate a portion of the amount paid to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for tax purposes.
 
The permanent book and tax basis differences may result in reclassifications between capital accounts and other accounts as required. The adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. As of August 31, 2010, the funds made the following reclassifications:
 
                                         
    Schwab U.S.

    (1,862,954 )     (1,212,180 )     (555,994 )     (99,746 )     (6,225,624 )
 
Management has reviewed the funds’ tax positions taken for its open income tax period ended August 31, 2010, and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the funds’ financial statements. The funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period ended August 31, 2010, the funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio holdings, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF, Schwab U.S. Large-Cap ETF, Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF, Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Value ETF and Schwab U.S. Small-Cap ETF (five of the portfolios constituting Schwab Strategic Trust, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at August 31, 2010, and the results of their operations, changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Frequency Distribution of Discounts and Premiums
Bid/Offer Midpoint vs. NAV as of August 31, 2010
 
The following charts are provided to show the frequency at which the daily market price on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“Exchange”), the secondary market for shares of each fund, was at a discount or premium to such fund’s daily NAV. The market price of each fund generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and lowest offer on the Exchange, as of the time that the fund’s NAV is calculated (referred to as the “Bid/Offer Midpoint”). Each fund’s Bid/Offer Midpoint may at times be at, above or below its NAV. The discount or premium is the percentage difference between the NAV and the Bid/Offer Midpoint of a Fund. A discount is the amount that a fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of NAV. A premium is the amount that a fund is trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of NAV. The NAV of each Fund will fluctuate with changes in the market value of its portfolio holdings. The Bid/Offer Midpoint of each fund will fluctuate in accordance with changes in its NAV, as well as supply and demand.

authorized participant (AP) A large institutional investor that places orders for creation units with the funds’ distributor.
 
beta A historical measure of an investment’s volatility relative to a market index (usually the S&P 500®). The index is defined as having a beta of 1.00. Investments with a beta higher than 1.00 have been more volatile than the index; those with a beta of less than 1.00 have been less volatile.

commencement of operations The date that the first NAV was calculated.
 
creation unit (C.U.) A basket of securities that is delivered by an authorized participant (AP) to the fund equal to the current holdings of the ETF, plus a designated cash component.

exchange A marketplace, or any organization or group that provides or maintains a marketplace for trading securities, options, futures, or commodities.

median market cap The midpoint of the range of market caps of the stocks held by a fund. There are different ways of calculating median market cap. With a simple median, half of the stocks in the fund’s portfolio would be larger than the median, and half would be smaller. With a weighted median (the type that is calculated for these funds).
 
net asset value (NAV) The value of one share of a fund. NAV is calculated by taking the fund’s total assets, subtracting liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding.
 
NAV return The return based on the change in NAV of the fund over a given time period. NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the fund.

outstanding shares, shares outstanding When speaking of the fund, indicates all shares currently held by investors.

total return The percentage that an investor would have earned or lost on an investment in the fund assuming dividends and distributions were reinvested.

All fund and index figures on this page assume dividends and distributions were reinvested. Index figures do not include trading and management costs, which would lower performance. Indices are unmanaged, and you cannot invest in them directly. Performance results less than one year are not annualized. Performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares.
 
Exchange-traded funds are subject to risks similar to those of stocks. Investment returns will fluctuate and are subject to market volatility, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed or sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Unlike mutual funds, shares of ETFs are not individually redeemable directly with the ETF. Shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.
 
Index ownership — “FTSE®” is a trademark of The Financial Times Limited (“FT”) and the London Exchange plc (the “Exchange”) and is used by the fund under license. Schwab ETFs are not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by FT or the Exchange and FT and the Exchange do not make any representation regarding the advisability of investing in shares of the fund.
 
Inception represents the date that the shares began trading in the secondary market. For the Schwab International Equity ETF, total returns are since inception date of 11/3/09. For the Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF and Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF, total returns are since inception date of 1/14/10. These total returns may differ from those disclosed in the Financial Highlights, as the total returns in the Financial Highlights are calculated from the commencement of operations date which is the first day the NAV was determined.
 
The fund’s per share net asset value (“NAV”) is the value of one share of the fund. NAV is calculated by taking the fund’s total assets (including the market value of securities owned), subtracting liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV Return is based on the NAV of the fund, and the Market Price Return is based on the market price per share of the fund. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which the shares of the fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the fund’s NAV is calculated. NAV is used as a proxy for purposes of calculating Market Price Return on inception date. Market Price and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively.
 
The Morningstar Category return represents all passively- and actively-managed ETFs within the category as of the report date.

From the President
 

MERK PHOTO
 
Randall W. Merk is President and CEO of Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. and the funds covered in this report.

 
Dear Shareholder,
 
We are pleased to provide you this first annual report for the Schwab international equity Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). The content covers the period from the inception date of each fund through August 31, 2010, and includes information about the performance and management of the three international equity ETFs.
 
Schwab is committed to offering investors ETFs that can play an important role in building a diversified portfolio, at low cost. In June 2010, we reduced the operating expense ratios on six of our eight equity ETFs, making Schwab ETF expense ratios among the lowest in the industry. Moreover, in August 2010, we launched three new fixed income ETFs that offer investors broad access to the U.S. Treasury markets. With the addition of the Schwab U.S. TIPS ETFtm, the Schwab Short-Term U.S. Treasury ETFtm, and the Schwab Intermediate-Term U.S. Treasury ETFtm, investors can now choose from our growing suite of Schwab ETFstm to gain exposure to a core asset class or to combine several ETFs as part of a diversified portfolio.
 
All three of the international equity ETFs had returns that were consistent with their respective indices for the reporting period. For details about each fund’s performance, please see the managers’ discussion and analysis in the following pages. If you have any questions about the Schwab ETFs or any of our mutual funds, we are always available at 1-800-435-4000, and additional resources may be found on schwab.com.
 
Thank you for investing with us.
 
Sincerely,
 
-s- Randall W. Merk

Schwab International Equity ETF™
 
 
The Schwab International Equity ETF seeks to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the total return of the FTSE Developed ex-US Index. The index includes the top 90% of market capitalization companies from eligible Global Equity ex U.S. Investable Stock (GEIS) securities in developed markets, as defined by FTSE. The index is comprised of approximately 85% large-cap and 15% mid-cap stocks. The fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the index that collectively has a similar profile to the index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the fund may or may not hold all of the securities included in the index.
 
During the reporting period that began with the fund’s inception date of November 3, 2009, and ended August 31, 2010, the fund’s market price return was -3.42% and its NAV return was -3.33%. (For an explanation of market price and NAV returns, please refer to footnote 3 on the following page.) The index returned -3.02% during the same period.
 
The overall return of the fund and index was weighed down by the global economic recession and the European sovereign debt crisis. The equity market went through dramatic shifts in investor sentiment. The index advanced early in the year as global economic recovery began to gain momentum. However, it fell sharply between April and June as market conditions changed and a sovereign debt crisis in Greece spread to other European markets. Markets rebounded slightly when a large-scale European bailout was announced in early summer, but were unable to fully recover from the earlier losses.
 
Performance for the index varied across countries. Developed Asian economies fared better than the rest and posted solid gains with the exception of Japan. The best country performer during the reporting period was Singapore, up 18%, largely due to export-driven recoveries as China’s stimulus effort benefited economies in the Pacific Rim.
 
European markets dragged down the index during the period with many countries posting double-digit losses. Greece’s heavy debt burden, compounded by a downgrade in its credit rating, drove the Greek equity market down 55%, the worst country performer for the reporting period.
 
Five of the fund’s ten largest holdings generated negative returns, led by energy producers British Petroleum of the United Kingdom (UK) and Total of France. British Petroleum was the worst performer in the index, plunging 37% after one of its deepwater oil rigs exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, causing the largest marine oil spill in the history of the petroleum industry. Financials was the second worst performing sector, affected by the heightened uncertainty about financial sector exposure to sovereign risk, as well as increased funding costs in Europe. British bank, HSBC, and Spanish bank, Banco Santander, both posted double-digit negative returns. Swiss food company, Nestle, and UK telecom company, Vodafone Group, posted the biggest gains.

An index is a statistical composite of a specified financial market or sector. Unlike the fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and its return is not inclusive of operational and transaction costs incurred by the fund.
 
Exchange-traded funds are subject to risks similar to those of stocks. Investment returns will fluctuate and are subject to market volatility, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed or sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

3 The fund’s per share net asset value (“NAV”) is the value of one share of the fund. NAV is calculated by taking the fund’s total assets (including the market value of securities owned), subtracting liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV Return is based on the NAV of the fund, and the Market Price Return is based on the market price per share of the fund. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which the shares of the fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the fund’s NAV is calculated. NAV is used as a proxy for purposes of calculating Market Price Return on inception date. Market Price and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively.
4 The Morningstar Category return represents all passively- and actively-managed ETFs within the category as of the report date.
5 As stated in the prospectus. Effective June 14, 2010, the annual operating expense was reduced. See financial note 4 for more information.
6 Source: Morningstar, Inc. This style assessment is the result of evaluating the fund based on a ten-factor model for value and growth characteristics. The fund’s market capitalization placement is determined by the geometric mean of its holdings’ market capitalizations. The assessment reflects the fund’s portfolio as of 8/31/10, which may have changed since then, and is not a precise indication of risk or performance—past, present, or future.

Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF™
 
 
The Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF seeks to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the total return of the FTSE Developed Small Cap ex-US Liquid Index. The index includes the bottom 10% of market capitalization from eligible Global Equity ex U.S. Investable Stock (GEIS) securities with a minimum float-adjusted market capitalization of $150M in developed markets, as defined by FTSE. The fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the index that collectively has a similar profile to the index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the fund may or may not hold all of the securities included in the index.
 
During the reporting period that began with the fund’s inception date of January 14, 2010, and ended August 31, 2010, the fund’s market price return was -5.52% and its NAV return was -5.88%. (For an explanation of market price and NAV returns, please refer to footnote 3 on the following page.) The index returned -5.11% during the same period.
 
The European sovereign debt crisis and a lack of confidence in the global financial system drove the negative returns in the fund and index. The only region posting a positive return in the index was North America. Gaining 2% during the period, Canada escaped much of the fallout from the global debt crisis and was the top contributor to the fund’s performance. Greece and Portugal were the worst country performers, down 34% and 24% respectively. The European debt crisis and the subsequent credit rating downgrades to Greece and Portugal led to further equity market declines.
 
Eight of the top ten holdings in the fund had positive performance for the period. British technology company, ARM Holdings, and Canadian gold mining company, Red Back Mining, were the two top performers. Two Canadian energy producers, Niko Resources and Crescent Point Energy, posted negative returns.

Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF™
 
 
The Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF seeks to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the total return of the FTSE All-Emerging Index. The index includes the top 90% of market capitalization from eligible Global Equity ex U.S. Investable Stock (GEIS) securities in emerging markets, as defined by FTSE. The index is comprised of approximately 85% large cap and 15% mid cap stocks. The fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the index that collectively has a similar profile to the index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the fund may or may not hold all of the securities included in the index.
 
During the reporting period that began with the fund’s inception date of January 14, 2010, and ended August 31, 2010, the fund’s market price return was -2.40% and its NAV return was -2.68%. (For an explanation of market price and NAV returns, please refer to footnote 3 on the following page.). The index returned -1.92% during the same period.
 
The global economic downturn and reduced risk appetite led the decline in the index. Despite the negative returns, emerging markets performed better than developed markets as a group, with their lower public debt and more robust growth prospects.
 
Colombia was the best performer, up over 30% for the period. As a top-performing equity market over the past decade, Colombia continued to surge ahead based on new infrastructure development, commodity exports and a growing middle class.
 
Eastern Europe experienced the highest regional decline. Hungary was the worst performer, plummeting more than 20% during the reporting period on concern over the euro-zone debt contagion, as well as reduction of its credit outlook by Standard & Poor’s after talks broke down with the International Monetary Fund and the European Union (EU) on a review of the country’s 20-billion Euro rescue loan.
 
Seven of the fund’s ten largest holdings generated negative returns for the reporting period, led by energy producers Petroleo Brasileiro of Brazil and Gazprom of Russia. China Mobile, the fund’s largest holding, generated positive returns, as well as the fund’s top two bank holdings, China Construction Bank and Itau Unibanco of Brazil.

Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
 
 Examples for a $1,000 Investment
 
As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: transaction costs, such as redemption fees, and ongoing costs, such as management fees, transfer agent and shareholder services fees, and other fund expenses.
 
The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing cost (in dollars) of investing in a fund and to compare this cost with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds. These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested for six months beginning March 1, 2010 and held through August 31, 2010.
 
Actual Return lines in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value ¸ $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund or share class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”
 
Hypothetical Return lines in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed return of 5% per year before expenses. Because the return used is not an actual return, it may not be used to estimate the actual ending account value or expenses you paid for the period.
 
You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1. Business Structure of the Funds
 
Each of the funds discussed in this report is a series of Schwab Strategic Trust (the “trust”), a no-load, open-end management investment company. The trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The list below shows all the funds in the trust including the funds discussed in this report, which are highlighted:
 
         
 
Schwab Strategic Trust (organized January 27, 2009)
  Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF    
Schwab International Equity ETF
  Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Value ETF    
Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF
  Schwab U.S. Small-Cap ETF    
Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF
  Schwab U.S. TIPS ETF    
Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF
  Schwab Short-Term U.S. Treasury ETF    
Schwab U.S. Large-Cap ETF
  Schwab Intermediate-Term U.S. Treasury ETF    
 
 
The funds issue and redeem shares at their NAV only in large blocks of shares, typically 50,000 shares or more (“Creation Units”). These transactions are usually in exchange for a basket of securities and an amount of cash. As a practical matter, only institutions purchase or redeem Creation Units. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of the fund are not redeemable securities.
 
Fund shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of the shares of each fund will approximate its NAV, there may be times when the market price and the NAV vary significantly.
 
Schwab International Equity ETF commenced operations on October 30, 2009. Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF and Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF commenced operations on January 13, 2010.
 
Each fund maintains its own account for purposes of holding assets and accounting, and is considered a separate entity for tax purposes. Within its account, each fund may also keep certain assets in segregated accounts, as required by securities law.
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
 
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies the funds used in the preparation of their financial statements. The accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
 
(a) Security Valuation:
 
The funds value the securities in their portfolios every business day. The funds use the following policies to value various types of securities:
 
  •  Securities traded on an exchange or over-the-counter: valued at the closing value for the day, or, on days when no closing value has been reported, halfway between the most recent bid and asked quotes. Securities that are primarily traded on foreign exchanges are valued at the closing values of such securities on their respective exchanges with these values then translated into U.S. dollars at the valuation date exchange rate.
 
  •  Securities for which no quoted value is available: The Board of Trustees has adopted procedures to fair value each fund’s securities when market prices are not “readily available” or are unreliable. For example, a fund may fair value a security when a security is de-listed or its trading is halted or suspended; when a security’s primary pricing source is unable or unwilling to provide a price; or when a security’s primary trading market is closed during regular market hours. Each fund makes fair value determinations in good faith in accordance with the fund’s valuation procedures. The Board of Trustees regularly reviews fair value determinations made by the funds pursuant to the procedures.
 
  •  Forward contracts: valued based on that day’s exchange rates.
 
  •  Short-term securities (60 days or less to maturity): valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
 
  •  Underlying funds: valued at their respective net asset values as determined by those funds in accordance with the 1940 Act for a given day.
 
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value.

Financial Notes (continued)
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (level 3 measurements).
 
If the funds determine that either the volume and/or level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased (from normal conditions for that asset or liability) or price quotations or observable inputs are not associated with orderly transactions, increased analysis and management judgment will be required to estimate fair value.
 
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
 
  •  Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities — Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equities. The funds do not adjust the quoted price for such investments, even in situations where the funds hold a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.
 
  •  Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) — Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but whose values are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified as Level 2 prices. These generally include U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, certain mortgage products, less liquid listed equities, and state, municipal and provincial obligations. As investments whose values are classified as Level 2 prices include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information.
 
  •  Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) — Investments whose values are classified as Level 3 prices have significant unobservable inputs, as they may trade infrequently or not at all. When observable prices are not available for these securities, the funds use one or more valuation techniques for which sufficient and reliable data is available. The inputs used by the funds in estimating the value of Level 3 prices may include the original transaction price, quoted prices for similar securities or assets in active markets, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows. Level 3 prices may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the funds in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the funds due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the funds’ results of operations.
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the funds’ investments as of August 31, 2010:

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued new guidance requiring reporting entities to make new disclosures about amounts and reasons for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements as well as inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3, and information on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of Level 3 securities on a gross basis. The new and revised disclosures are required to be implemented for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures surrounding purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of Level 3 fair value measurements on a gross basis, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years.
 
The funds have adopted the new guidance for the current period ended August 31, 2010. There were no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for the period ended August 31, 2010. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the other provisions of the new guidance on the funds’ financial statements.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
(b) Security Transactions:
 
Security transactions are recorded as of the date the order to buy or sell the security is executed. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are based on the identified costs of the securities involved.
 
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are reported in U.S. dollars. For assets and liabilities held on a given date, the dollar value is based on market exchange rates in effect on that date. Transactions involving foreign currencies, including purchases, sales, income receipts and expense payments, are calculated using exchange rates in effect on the transaction date. Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the recorded amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign denominated assets and liabilities other than investments in securities held at the end of the reporting period. The funds do 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.
 
Gains realized by the funds on the sale of securities in certain foreign countries may be subject to non-U.S. taxes. The funds record a liability based on unrealized gains to provide for potential non-U.S. taxes payable upon the sale of these securities.
 
When a fund closes out a forwards position, it calculates the difference between the value of the position at the beginning and at the end of the contract, and records a realized gain or loss accordingly.
 
(c) Investment Income:
 
Interest income is recorded as it accrues. Dividends and distributions from portfolio securities and underlying funds are recorded on the date they are effective (the ex-dividend date), although the funds record certain foreign security dividends on the day they learn of the ex-dividend date.
 
(d) Expenses:
 
Expenses that are specific to a fund are charged directly to that fund. Expenses that are common to all funds within the trust generally are allocated among the funds in proportion to their average daily net assets. The investment adviser will pay the operating expenses of the funds, excluding interest expenses, taxes, any brokerage expenses, and extraordinary or non-routine expenses.
 
(e) Distributions to Shareholders:
 
The funds declare distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, once a year.
 
(f) Accounting Estimates:
 
The accounting policies described in this report conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Notwithstanding this, shareholders should understand that in order to follow these principles, fund management has to make estimates and assumptions that affect the information reported in the financial statements. It’s possible that once the results are known, they may turn out to be different from these estimates, and these differences may be material.
 
(g) Federal Income Taxes:
 
The funds intend to meet federal income and excise tax requirements for regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the funds distribute substantially all of their net investment income and realized net capital gains, if any, to their respective shareholders each year. As long as a fund meets the tax requirements, it is not required to pay federal income tax.
 
(h) Foreign Taxes:
 
The funds may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, corporate events, foreign currency exchanges, capital gains on investments on currency repatriation. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in foreign markets in which the funds invest. These foreign taxes, if any, are

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
paid by the funds and are disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Foreign taxes payable as of August 31, 2010, if any, are reflected in the funds’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
 
(i) Indemnification:
 
Under the funds’ organizational documents, the officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the funds. In addition, in the normal course of business the funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide general indemnifications. The funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the funds. However, based on experience, the funds expect the risk of loss to the fund to be remote.
 
3. Risk factors:
 
Investing in the funds may involve certain risks, as described in the funds’ prospectus, including, but not limited to, those described below:
 
Stock markets rise and fall daily. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of the investments in a fund will fluctuate, which means that the investors could lose money.
 
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. Individual companies may report poor results or be negatively affected by industry and/or economic trends and developments. The prices of securities issued by such companies may suffer a decline in response. In addition, the equity market tends to move in cycles which may cause stock prices to fall over short or extended periods of time.
 
Historically, small and mid company stocks have been riskier than large company stocks. Stock prices of smaller companies may be based in substantial part on future expectations rather than current achievements and may move sharply, especially during market upturns and downturns. Smaller companies themselves may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. During a period when small-cap stocks fall behind other types of investments — bonds, large-cap stocks and mid-cap stocks — a fund’s performance, to the extent invested in small-cap stocks, also will lag those other types of investments.
 
The funds are not actively managed. Therefore, the funds follow the stocks included in the index during upturns as well as downturns. Because of its indexing strategy, the funds do 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 funds’ performance is normally below that of the index.
 
The funds’ investments in securities of foreign issuers involve certain risks that are greater than those associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These include risks of adverse changes in foreign economic, political, regulatory and other conditions, or changes in currency exchange rates or exchange control regulations (including limitations on currency movements and exchanges). In certain countries, legal remedies available to investors may be more limited than those available with respect to investments in the United States. The securities of some foreign issuers may be less liquid and, at times, more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. The funds may also experience more rapid or extreme changes in value as compared to a fund that invests solely in securities of U.S. companies because the securities’ markets of many foreign countries are relatively small, with a limited number of companies representing a small number of industries. There also is the risk that the cost of buying, selling, and holding foreign securities, including brokerage, tax, and custody costs, may be higher than those involved in domestic transactions.
 
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, unreliable securities valuation and greater risk associated with the custody of securities. It is sometimes difficult to obtain and enforce court judgments in such countries and there is often a greater potential for nationalization and/or expropriation of assets by the government of an emerging market country. In addition, the financial stability of issuers (including governments) in emerging market countries may be more precarious than in other countries. As a result, there will tend to be an increased risk of price volatility associated with the funds’ investments in emerging market countries, which may be magnified by currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar.

3. Risk factors (continued):
 
Foreign securities also include ADRs, which are U.S. dollar-denominated receipts issued by U.S. banks or trust companies that represent shares of foreign-based corporations, and GDRs, which are similar to ADRs, but are shares of foreign-based corporations generally issued by international banks in one or more markets around the world. In addition, foreign securities include EDRs, similar to GDRs, but which are generally issued by European banks that trade on exchanges outside of a bank’s home country. Investment in ADRs, GDRs and EDRs may be less liquid than the underlying shares in their primary trading market and GDRs, many of which are issued by companies in emerging markets, may be more volatile.
 
The funds may not fully replicate the index and may hold securities not included in the index. As a result, the funds are subject to the risk that the investment adviser’s investment management strategy, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results. Because the funds use a sampling approach, they may not track the return of the index as well as they would if the funds purchased all of the equity securities in the index.
 
The funds’ returns may not match the return of their indices. For example, differences between a fund’s securities and those in the index, rounding of prices, changes to the index and regulatory requirements may cause tracking error, the divergence of a fund’s performance from that of its index. A fund may not be able to invest in certain securities in its benchmark index, or match the securities’ weighting to the benchmark, due to regulatory, operational or liquidity constraints, which may result in tracking error. A fund may attempt to offset the effects of not being invested in certain index securities by making substitute investments, but these efforts may not be successful. A fund also incurs fees and expenses while the index does not, which may result in tracking error.
 
A fund’s use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments and could cause the fund to lose more than the principal amount invested. In addition, investments in derivatives may involve leverage, which means a small percentage of assets invested in derivatives can have a disproportionately larger impact on the fund.
 
To the extent that the funds or the indices portfolios are concentrated in the securities of issuers in a particular market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class, the funds may be adversely affected by the performance of those securities, may be subject to increased price volatility and may be more susceptible to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory occurrences affecting that market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class.
 
A particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell. The funds may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price.
 
A fund may lend its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers, and other financial institutions provided a number of conditions are satisfied, including that the loan is fully collateralized. Securities lending involves the risk of loss of rights in the collateral or delay in recovery of the collateral if the borrower fails to return the security loaned or becomes insolvent.
 
Fund shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of the shares of the fund will approximate the fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price and the NAV vary significantly. Investors may pay more than NAV when they buy shares of the fund in the secondary market, and may receive less than NAV when they sell those shares in the secondary market.
 
An investment in a fund is not a bank deposit and it is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency.
 
Please refer to the funds’ prospectus for a complete description of the principal risks of investing in the funds.
 
4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions:
 
Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (“CSIM” or the “investment adviser”), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Charles Schwab Corporation, serves as each fund’s investment adviser and administrator pursuant to an Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement (Advisory Agreement) between it and the trust.

Financial Notes (continued)
 
4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions (continued):
 
For its advisory and administrative services to each fund, the investment adviser is entitled to receive an annual fee payable monthly based on the fund’s average daily net assets described as follows:
 
Effective June 14, 2010, the rate is:
 
                     
    Schwab

  Schwab

  Small-Cap
  Emerging Markets

Prior to June 14, 2010, the rate was:
 
                     
    Schwab

  International
  Schwab
International
  Small-Cap
  Emerging Markets
Equity ETF

  0.15%       0.35%       0.35%  
 
The investment adviser will pay the operating expenses of the funds, excluding interest expenses, taxes, any brokerage expenses, and extraordinary or non-routine expenses.
 
Prior to December 14, 2009, the Trust had a Distribution and Shareholder Services (12b-1) Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to which the fund was subject to an annual 12b-1 fee up to 0.25% of its average daily net assets. The Board had determined that no such fees would be charged under the plan until November 14, 2011. However, on December 14, 2009, the Board of Trustees of the Trust approved the termination of the Plan.
 
The funds may engage in certain transactions involving affiliates. For instance, a fund may own shares of The Charles Schwab Corporation if that company is included in its index. During the period ended August 31, 2010, there were no transactions involving affiliates.
 
The funds may engage in direct transactions with certain other Schwab ETFs when practical. 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 officers. During the period ended August 31, 2010, there were no security transactions with other Schwab ETFs.
 
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the funds may enter into interfund borrowing and lending transactions within the Schwab Funds including Schwab ETFs. All loans are for temporary or emergency purposes only. The interest rate charged on the loan is the average of the overnight repurchase agreement rate and the short-term bank loan rate. The interfund lending facility is subject to the oversight and periodic review of the Board of Trustees of the Schwab Funds. The funds had no interfund borrowing or lending activity during the period.
 
5. Other Service Providers:
 
SEI Investments Distribution Co. (the “Distributor”) is the principal underwriter and distributor of shares of the funds.
 
State Street Bank and Trust Company serves as the funds’ transfer agent. As part of these services, the transfer agent maintains records pertaining to the sale, redemption and transfer of the funds’ shares.
 
State Street Bank and Trust Company also serves as custodian and accountant for the funds. The custodian is responsible for the daily safekeeping of securities and cash held or sold by the funds. The funds’ accountant maintains all books and records related to the funds’ transactions.
 
6. Board of Trustees:
 
Trustees may include people who are officers and/or directors of the investment adviser or an affiliate. 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 period. The trust did not pay any of these persons for their service as trustees.

7. Purchases and Sales/Maturities of Investment Securities:
 
For the period ended August 31, 2010, purchases and sales/maturities of securities (excluding in-kind transactions and short-term obligations) were as follows:
 
                 
   
Purchases of Securities
 
Sales/Maturities of Securities
 
Schwab International Equity ETF
    $14,818,020       $10,151,799

    3,895,703       2,610,511  
Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF
    90,199,481       20,680,158  
 
8. In-Kind Transactions:
 
The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a fund generally consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of equity securities, which constitutes an optimized representation of the securities involved in a relevant fund’s underlying index, and an amount of cash. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to State Street Bank and Trust Company, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.
 
The in-kind transactions for the period ended August 31, 2010 were as follows:
 
                 
   
In-kind Purchases
 
In-kind Sales
 
Schwab International Equity ETF
    $299,476,851       $—  
Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF
    59,492,504        
Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF
    80,371,327        
 
For the period ended August 31, 2010, there were no in-kind redemptions. However, if the funds have such transactions, they will realize net capital gains or losses resulting from in-kind redemptions of large blocks of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”). Because such gains or losses are not taxable to the funds and are not distributed to existing fund shareholders, the gains or losses are reclassified from accumulated net realized gains or losses to paid-in-capital at the end of the funds’ tax year. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. The net realized in-kind gains or losses will be disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Operations.
 
9. Federal Income Taxes:
 
As of August 31, 2010, the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:

Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation)
    (18,690,477 )     (2,266,189 )     (2,004,405 )
 
The primary difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation or unrealized depreciation of investments is the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and Passive Foreign Investment Companies (PFIC).
 
For tax purposes, net realized capital losses occurring after October 31, may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. As of August 31, 2010, capital losses deferred for each fund were as follows:

Long-term capital gains
                 
Return of capital
                 
 
Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax basis, which may differ from net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes. These differences are due primarily to differing treatment for items such as non-U.S. currency gains and losses, short-term capital gains and losses; in-kind transactions; capital losses related to wash sales, unrealized appreciation of certain investments in non-U.S. securities; and income on certain investments. The fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the net investment income and net realized gains are recorded by the fund for financial reporting purposes. The fund may also designate a portion of the amount paid to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for tax purposes.
 
The permanent book and tax basis differences may result in reclassifications between capital accounts and other accounts as required. The adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. As of August 31, 2010, the funds made the following reclassifications:

Management has reviewed the funds’ tax positions taken for its open income tax period ended August 31, 2010, and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the funds’ financial statements. The funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period ended August 31, 2010, the funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
 
10. Subsequent Events:
 
Management has determined there are no subsequent events or transactions through the date the financial statements were issued that would have materially impacted the financial statements as presented.

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio holdings, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Schwab International Equity ETF, Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF and Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF (three of the portfolios constituting Schwab Strategic Trust, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at August 31, 2010, and the results of their operations, changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Frequency Distribution of Discounts and Premiums
Bid/Offer Midpoint vs. NAV as of August 31, 2010
 
The following charts are provided to show the frequency at which the daily market price on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“Exchange”), the secondary market for shares of each fund, was at a discount or premium to such fund’s daily NAV. The market price of each fund generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and lowest offer on the Exchange, as of the time that the fund’s NAV is calculated (referred to as the “Bid/Offer Midpoint”). Each fund’s Bid/Offer Midpoint may at times be at, above or below its NAV. The discount or premium is the percentage difference between the NAV and the Bid/Offer Midpoint of a Fund. A discount is the amount that a fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of NAV. A premium is the amount that a fund is trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of NAV. The NAV of each Fund will fluctuate with changes in the market value of its portfolio holdings. The Bid/Offer Midpoint of each fund will fluctuate in accordance with changes in its NAV, as well as supply and demand.
