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.
 
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. Shares are bought and sold at market price, which may be higher or lower than the net asset value (NAV). Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.

1 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. Market Price and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

From the President
 

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

 
Dear Shareholder,
 
As President and CEO of Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc., I’d like to thank you for trusting us to help you meet your investment goals, and for reading this important report concerning the Schwab U.S. Equity ETFs. These funds are part of our line-up of core investment solutions and are available at some of the lowest operating expense ratios in the industry. The funds are designed to track market-leading U.S. stock indices and provide the full benefits of an ETF, including transparency, trading flexibility, and potential tax efficiency.
 
For the six months ended February 28, 2013, the funds generated returns that reflected a strong rally by U.S. stocks. In an effort to stimulate faster economic growth, the Federal Reserve maintained low short-term interest rates and programs aimed at holding down long-term interest rates. These efforts seemed to help as economic data showed mixed but encouraging signs of improvement. The stock market reacted favorably to these developments, performing particularly well early in 2013 in spite of intermittent volatility, as worries eased about the fiscal cliff.
 
Mid-cap stocks generally outperformed small- and large-cap stocks, while value stocks outperformed growth stocks. From a sector standpoint, shares of companies in the Financials and Industrials sectors were some of the better performers, while shares of companies involved in the Information Technology and Telecommunication Services sectors underperformed by comparison. Reflecting the overall performance of the U.S. stock market, the Dow Jones U.S. Broad Stock Market Index returned 9.8% for the six months.

1 Performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares.
2 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.

 Examples for a $1,000 Investment
 
As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of fund shares; and, (2) ongoing costs, including management 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 September 1, 2012 and held through February 28, 2013.
 
Actual Return lines in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value ¸ $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund or share class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”
 
Hypothetical Return lines in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a fund’s 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, including any redemption fees or brokerage commissions you may pay when purchasing or selling shares of the fund. 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 as of the end of the period, including the funds discussed in this report, which are highlighted:
 
         
 
Schwab Strategic Trust (organized January 27, 2009)
  Schwab U.S. REIT ETF    
Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF
  Schwab International Equity ETF    
Schwab U.S. Large-Cap ETF
  Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF    
Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF
  Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF    
Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Value ETF
  Schwab U.S. TIPS ETF    
Schwab U.S. Mid-Cap ETF
  Schwab Short-Term U.S. Treasury ETF    
Schwab U.S. Small-Cap ETF
  Schwab Intermediate-Term U.S. Treasury ETF    
Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF
  Schwab U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF    
 
 
The funds issue and redeem shares at their net assets value per share (“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 or large investors purchase or redeem Creation Units. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of the fund are not redeemable securities.
 
Individual shares of the funds trade on national securities exchanges and elsewhere during the trading day and can only be bought and sold at market prices throughout the trading day through a broker-dealer. Because fund shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount).
 
Each fund maintains its own account for purposes of holding assets and accounting, and is considered a separate entity for tax purposes. Within its account, each fund may also keep certain assets in segregated accounts, as required by securities law.
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
 
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies the funds use in their preparation of financial statements. The accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
 
(a) Security Valuation:
 
Under procedures approved by the funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board’’), the investment adviser has formed a Pricing Committee to administer the pricing and valuation of portfolio securities and other assets and to ensure that prices used for internal purposes or provided by third parties reasonably reflect fair market value. Among other things, these procedures allow the funds to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers and other market sources to determine fair value.
 
The funds value the securities in their portfolios every business day. The funds use the following policies to value various types of securities:
 
  •  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, at halfway between 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 each fund’s securities when market prices are not “readily available” or are unreliable. For example, a fund may fair value a security when it is de-listed or its trading is halted or suspended; when a security’s primary pricing source is unable or unwilling to provide a price; or when a security’s primary trading market is closed during regular market hours. Each fund makes fair value determinations in good faith in accordance with the fund’s valuation procedures. The Pricing Committee considers a number of factors, including unobservable market inputs when arriving at fair value. The Pricing Committee may employ techniques such as the review of related or comparable assets or liabilities, related market activities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, transactional back-testing, disposition analysis and other relevant information. The Pricing

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
  Committee regularly reviews these inputs and assumptions to calibrate the valuations. The Board convenes on a regular basis to review fair value determinations made by the funds pursuant to the valuation procedures.
 
  •  Bonds and notes: valued at halfway between the most recent bid and asked quotes or, if such quotes are unavailable, at prices for securities of comparable maturity, credit quality and type. Valuations for bonds and notes are provided by independent bond-pricing services.
 
  •  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.
 
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). If the funds determine that either the volume and/or level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased (from normal conditions for that asset or liability) or price quotations or observable inputs are not associated with orderly transactions, increased analysis and management judgment will be required to estimate fair value.
 
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
 
  •  Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities — Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equities.
 
  •  Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) — Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but whose values are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified as Level 2 prices. These generally include U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, certain mortgage products, less liquid listed equities, and state, municipal and provincial obligations. As investments whose values are classified as Level 2 prices include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information.
 
  •  Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) — Investments whose values are classified as Level 3 prices have significant unobservable inputs, as they may trade infrequently or not at all. When observable prices are not available for these securities, the funds use one or more valuation techniques for which sufficient and reliable data is available. The inputs used by the funds in estimating the value of Level 3 prices may include the original transaction price, quoted prices for similar securities or assets in active markets, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows. Level 3 prices may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the funds in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the funds due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the funds’ results of operations.
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
 
The levels associated with valuing the funds’ investments as of February 28, 2013 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 government, or letters of credit issued by a bank. Collateral at the individual loan level is required to have a value of at least 102% of the prior day’s market value of the loaned securities for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities and is marked to market

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
daily. The cash collateral of securities loaned is invested in money market portfolios operating under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. Securities lending income, as disclosed in a 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 which are subject to adjustments pursuant to the securities lending agreement.
 
If applicable, the value of the securities on loan as of February 28, 2013 and the value of the related collateral are disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings and the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
 
(c) Security Transactions:
 
Security transactions are recorded as of the date the order to buy or sell the security is executed. Realized gains or losses from security transactions are based on the identified costs of the securities involved.
 
(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 funds record certain foreign security dividends on the day they learn of the ex-dividend date.
 
(e) Expenses:
 
Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement (“Advisor Agreement”) between Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (“CSIM” or the “investment adviser”) and the trust, the investment adviser will pay the operating expenses of each fund, excluding interest expense, taxes, any brokerage expenses, and extraordinary or non-routine expenses. Interest expense, taxes, any brokerage expenses and extraordinary or non-routine expenses that are specific to a fund are charged directly to the fund.
 
(f) Distributions to Shareholders:
 
The funds declare distributions from net investment income every quarter and distribute 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 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.
 
(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 attributable to these arrangements to be remote.
 
(j) New Accounting Pronouncements:
 
In December 2011, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities,” was issued and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after January 1, 2013. The ASU enhances disclosure requirements with respect to an entity’s rights of offset and related arrangements associated with its financial and derivative

instruments. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU No. 2011-11 may have on the funds’ financial statement disclosures.
 
3. Risk Factors:
 
Investing in the funds may involve certain risks, as discussed in the funds’ prospectus, including, but not limited to, those described below. Any of these risks could cause an investor to lose money.
 
Stock markets rise and fall daily. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of the investment in a fund will fluctuate, which means that the investors could lose money.
 
The funds are not actively managed. Therefore, a fund follows the securities included in an index during upturns as well as downturns. Because of their indexing strategies, the funds do not take steps to reduce market exposure or to lessen the effects of a declining market. In addition, because of a fund’s expenses, the fund’s performance is normally below that of the index.
 
Certain funds primarily invest in dividend paying stocks. As a result, fund performance will correlate directly with the performance of the dividend paying stock segment of the stock market, and a fund may underperform funds that do not limit their investments to dividend paying stocks. If stocks held by a fund reduce or stop paying dividends, a fund’s ability to generate income may be affected.
 
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.
 
Certain funds invest in large-cap stocks. Large-cap stocks tend to go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. During a period when large-cap U.S. stocks fall behind other types of investments — mid- or small-cap stocks, for instance — a fund’s large-cap holdings could reduce performance.
 
Certain funds invest in mid-cap stocks. Historically, mid-cap stocks have been riskier than large-cap stocks. Mid-cap companies themselves may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. Stock prices of midsized companies may be based in substantial part on future expectations rather than current achievements and may move sharply, especially during market upturns and downturns. During a period when mid-cap stocks fall behind other types of investments — bonds or large-cap stocks, for instance — a fund’s mid-cap holdings could reduce performance.
 
Certain funds invest in small-cap stocks. Historically, small-cap stocks have been riskier than large- and mid-cap stocks, and their prices may move sharply, especially during market upturns and downturns. Small-cap companies 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 — large-cap and mid-cap stocks, for instance — a fund’s small-cap holdings could reduce performance.
 
Certain funds invest in growth stocks. Growth stocks can be volatile. Growth companies usually invest a high portion of earnings in their businesses and may lack the dividends of value stocks that can cushion stock prices in a falling market. The prices of growth stocks are based largely on projections of the issuer’s future earnings and revenues. If a company’s earnings or revenues fall short of expectations, its stock price may fall dramatically. Growth stocks may also be more expensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to value or other stocks.
 
Certain funds emphasize a “value” style of investing, which targets undervalued companies with characteristics for improved valuations. This style of investing is subject to the risk that the valuations never improve or that the returns on “value” securities may not move in tandem with the returns on other styles of investing or the stock market in general.
 
Certain funds may not fully replicate the index and may hold securities not included in the index. As a result, a fund is subject to the risk that the 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 utilize a sampling approach, they may not track the return of their respective index as well as they would if the funds purchased all of the securities in the indexes.

3. Risk Factors (continued):
 
As an index fund, each 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.
 
Each fund may invest in derivative instruments. The principal types of derivatives a fund may use are futures contracts. A futures contract is an agreement to buy or sell a financial instrument at a specific price on a specific day. 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. Certain of these risks, such as market risk and liquidity risk, are discussed elsewhere in this section. A fund’s use of derivatives is also subject to leverage risk, credit risk, lack of availability risk, valuation risk, correlation risk and tax risk. Leverage risk is the risk that use of derivatives may magnify the effect of any decrease or increase in the value of the fund’s portfolio securities. Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations. Lack of availability risk is the risk that suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances for risk management or other purposes. Valuation risk is the risk that a particular derivative may be valued incorrectly. Correlation risk is the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. Tax risk is the risk that the use of derivatives may cause a fund to realize higher amounts of short-term capital gain. These risks could cause a fund to lose more than the principal amount invested.
 
A particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell. A fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price.
 
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.
 
To the extent that a fund’s or an 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 susceptible to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory occurrences affecting that market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class.
 
Although fund shares are listed on national securities exchanges, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for fund shares will develop or be maintained. If an active market is not maintained, investors may find it difficult to buy or sell fund shares.
 
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 a fund will approximate a 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 a 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 more complete description of these and other principal risks of investing in the funds.
 
4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions:
 
CSIM, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Charles Schwab Corporation, serves as each fund’s investment adviser pursuant to an Advisory Agreement between CSIM and the trust.
 
For its advisory services to the following funds, CSIM is entitled to receive an annual fee, payable monthly, based on a percentage of each fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
Effective September 20, 2012, the rate is:

Certain Schwab Funds may own shares of other Schwab Funds. As of February 28, 2013, outstanding shares of Schwab U.S. Large-Cap ETF and Schwab U.S. Small-Cap ETF were owned by other Schwab funds. The percentages of the outstanding shares of these funds owned by other Schwab Funds are less than 1%.
 
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/or officers. For the period ended February 28, 2013, the funds had no direct 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 with other 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. The funds had no interfund borrowing or lending activity during the period.
 
5. Other Service Providers:
 
SEI Investments Distribution Co. is the principal underwriter and distributor of shares of the funds.
 
State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) 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 also serves as custodian and accountant for the funds. The custodian is responsible for the daily safekeeping of securities and cash held by the funds. The funds’ accountant maintains all books and records related to the funds’ transactions.
 
6. Board of Trustees:
 
The Board may include people who are officers and/or directors of the investment adviser or its 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 report period. The trust did not pay any of these interested persons for their services as trustees. For information regarding the trustees please refer to Trustees and Officers Table at the end of this report.

7. Borrowing from Banks:
 
The funds have access to custodian overdraft facilities and to an uncommitted line of credit of $100 million with State Street. The funds pay interest on the amounts they borrow at rates that are negotiated periodically.
 
There were no borrowings from the line of credit by the funds during the period. However, the funds may have utilized their overdraft facility and incurred interest expense, which is disclosed on the Statement of Operations, if any. The interest expense is determined based on a negotiated rate above the current Federal Funds Rate.

9. 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 may pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to the applicable fund, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.
 
The in-kind transactions for the period ended February 28, 2013 were as follows:
 
                 
   
In-kind Purchases of Securities
 
In-kind Sales of Securities

Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF
    211,505,570       69,913,467  
 
For the period ended February 28, 2013, certain funds realized net capital gains or losses resulting from in-kind redemptions of 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 capital received from investors 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 February 28, 2013 are disclosed in the funds’ Statements of Operations.

  As a result of the passage of the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred after December 31, 2010 may now be carried forward indefinitely, but must retain the character of the original loss. However, such losses must be utilized prior to the pre-enactment capital losses, which may increase the likelihood that the pre-enactment capital losses may expire unused. Under pre-enactment law, capital losses could be carried forward for eight years, and carried forward as short-term capital loss, irrespective of the character of the original loss.
 
For tax purposes, realized net capital losses and late-year ordinary losses incurred after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. For the year ended August 31, 2012, the funds had capital losses deferred as follows:

As of August 31, 2012, management has reviewed the tax positions for open periods (for federal purposes, three years from the date of filing and for state purposes, four years from the date of filing) as applicable to the funds, and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the funds’ financial statements. The funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period ended August 31, 2012, the funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
 
11. 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.

Glossary
 
 
ask See “offer.”
 
asset allocation The practice of dividing a portfolio among different asset classes, with each asset class assigned a particular percentage to help offset risks and rewards, based on your goals, time horizon and risk tolerance.
 
asset class A group of securities with similar structure and basic characteristics. Stocks, bonds and cash are the three main examples of asset classes.
 
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.
 
bid The highest price at which someone is willing to buy a security.
 
cap, capitalization See “market cap.”
 
capital gain, capital loss The difference between the amount paid for an investment and its value at a later time. If the investment has been sold, the capital gain or loss is considered a realized gain or loss. If the investment is still held, the gain or loss is still “on paper” and is considered unrealized.
 
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. In return, the APs receive a large block of ETF shares (typically 50,000 shares), which investors can then buy and sell in the secondary market.
 
dividend yield A stock’s indicated annual dividend divided by current price. At the portfolio level, it is the value-weighted average of the dividend yield of the securities in the portfolio.
 
exchange A marketplace, or any organization or group that provides or maintains a marketplace for trading securities, options, futures, or commodities.
 
expense ratio The amount that is taken from the fund’s assets each year to cover the operating expenses. An expense ratio of 0.50% means that a fund’s expenses amount to half of one percent of its average net assets a year.
 
gross domestic product (GDP) The output of goods and services produced by labor and property located in the United States.
 
inception date The date that the shares began trading in the secondary market.
 
indicative optimized portfolio value (IOPV) A calculation disseminated by the stock exchange that approximates the fund’s NAV every 15 seconds throughout the trading day.
 
liquidity The ability to convert a security or asset quickly into cash.
 
market cap, market capitalization The value of a company as determined by the total value of all shares of its stock outstanding.
 
market price return The return based on the change in market price per share of the fund over a given time period. Market price returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the fund at market price.
 
median market cap The midpoint of the range of market caps of the stocks held by a fund. There are different ways of calculating median market cap. With a simple median, half of the stocks in the fund’s portfolio would be larger than the median, and half would be smaller. With a weighted median (the type that is calculated for these funds), half of the fund’s assets are invested in stocks that are larger than the median market cap, and half in stocks that are smaller.
 
MSCI EAFE (Europe, Australasia, Far East) Index A free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the U.S. & Canada.
 
net asset value (NAV) The value of one share of a 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.

fairer comparisons of bond funds. It is based on the most recent 30-day period covered by the fund’s filings with the SEC. The yield figure reflects the dividends and interest earned during the period, after the deduction of the fund’s expenses. This is also referred to as the “standardized yield.”
 
sampling If a fund uses a sampling method, the fund will not fully replicate the benchmark index and may hold securities not included in the index. A fund that utilizes a sampling approach may not track the return of the index.
 
secondary market The market in which investors purchase securities from other investors rather than directly from the issuing companies. Organized exchanges facilitate the trading of securities in the secondary market.
 
spread The gap between bid and ask prices of a security.

* Total return for the report period presented in the table differs from the return in the Financial Highlights. The total return presented in the above table is calculated based on the NAV at which shareholder transactions were processed. The total return presented in the Financial Highlights section of the report is calculated in the same manner, but also takes into account certain adjustments that are necessary under generally accepted accounting principles required in the annual and semi-annual reports.
1 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. Market Price and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

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

 
Dear Shareholder,
 
As President and CEO of Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc., I’d like to thank you for trusting us to help you meet your investment goals, and for reading this important report concerning the Schwab International Equity ETFs. These funds are part of our line-up of core investment solutions and are available at some of the lowest operating expense ratios in the industry. The funds are designed to track market-leading international stock indices, while also providing the full benefits of an ETF, including transparency, trading flexibility, and potential tax efficiency.
 
For the six months ended February 28, 2013, the funds generated returns that reflected both a strong rally by international stocks and a mixed performance by overseas currencies versus the U.S. dollar. In an effort to stimulate faster economic growth, many central banks adopted policies aimed at keeping interest rates low. In addition to the low interest rate backdrop, international equities benefitted from progress by European leaders concerning the euro zone’s sovereign debt crisis. In this environment, investors began shifting into stocks, enhancing their returns as the increased demand helped to push up prices.
 
Stocks in developed international markets outperformed emerging market stocks overall, but both generated solid returns. Select European markets were some of the better performers among developed economies, rebounding from depressed levels during the height of the region’s sovereign debt crisis. Among emerging markets, economic growth in China seemed to reaccelerate heading into 2013. This helped Chinese stocks outperform the returns produced by

Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
 
 Examples for a $1,000 Investment
 
As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of fund shares; and, (2) ongoing costs, including management 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 September 1, 2012 and held through February 28, 2013.
 
Actual Return lines in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value ¸ $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund or share class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”
 
Hypothetical Return lines in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a fund’s 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.

All net realized and change in unrealized gains (losses) in the tables above are reflected on the accompanying Statement of Operations. The change in net unrealized gains (losses) for Level 3 investments held by the fund at February 28, 2013 was $40,757.
 
The fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 as of the beginning of the fiscal year. There were transfers into and out of Level 3 from Level 1 due to the result of fair valued securities for which no quoted value was available. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for the period ended February 28, 2013.

The fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 as of the beginning of the fiscal year. There were transfers into Level 3 from Level 1 due to the result of fair valued securities for which no quoted value was available. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for the period ended February 28, 2013.

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 as of the end of the period, including the funds discussed in this report, which are highlighted:
 
         
 
Schwab Strategic Trust (organized January 27, 2009)
  Schwab U.S. Mid-Cap ETF    
Schwab International Equity ETF
  Schwab U.S. Small-Cap ETF    
Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF
  Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF    
Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF
  Schwab U.S. REIT ETF    
Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF
  Schwab U.S. TIPS ETF    
Schwab U.S. Large-Cap ETF
  Schwab Short-Term U.S. Treasury ETF    
Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF
  Schwab Intermediate-Term U.S. Treasury ETF    
Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Value ETF
  Schwab U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF    
 
 
The funds issue and redeem shares at their net assets value per share (“NAV”) only in large blocks of shares, typically 100,000 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 or large investors purchase or redeem Creation Units. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of the fund are not redeemable securities.
 
Individual shares of the funds trade on national securities exchanges and elsewhere during the trading day and can only be bought and sold at market prices throughout the trading day through a broker-dealer. Because fund shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount).
 
Each fund maintains its own account for purposes of holding assets and accounting, and is considered a separate entity for tax purposes. Within its account, each fund may also keep certain assets in segregated accounts, as required by securities law.
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
 
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies the funds use in their preparation of financial statements. The accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
 
(a) Security Valuation:
 
Under procedures approved by the funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board’’), the investment adviser has formed a Pricing Committee to administer the pricing and valuation of portfolio securities and other assets and to ensure that prices used for internal purposes or provided by third parties reasonably reflect fair market value. Among other things, these procedures allow the funds to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers and other market sources to determine fair value.
 
The funds value the securities in their portfolios every business day. The funds use the following policies to value various types of securities:
 
  •  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, at halfway between 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 each fund’s securities when market prices are not “readily available” or are unreliable. For example, a fund may fair value a security when it is de-listed or its trading is halted or suspended; when a security’s primary pricing source is unable or unwilling to provide a price; or when a security’s primary trading market is closed during regular market hours. Each fund makes fair value determinations in good faith in accordance with the fund’s valuation procedures. The Pricing Committee considers a number of factors, including unobservable market inputs when arriving at fair value. The Pricing Committee may employ techniques such as the review of related or comparable assets or liabilities, related market activities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, transactional back-testing, disposition analysis and other relevant information. The Pricing

  Committee regularly reviews these inputs and assumptions to calibrate the valuations. The Board convenes on a regular basis to review fair value determinations made by the funds pursuant to the valuation procedures.
 
  •  Bonds and notes: valued at halfway between the most recent bid and asked quotes or, if such quotes are unavailable, at prices for securities of comparable maturity, credit quality and type. Valuations for bonds and notes are provided by independent bond-pricing services.
 
  •  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.
 
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). If the funds determine that either the volume and/or level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased (from normal conditions for that asset or liability) or price quotations or observable inputs are not associated with orderly transactions, increased analysis and management judgment will be required to estimate fair value.
 
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
 
  •  Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities — Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equities.
 
  •  Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) — Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but whose values are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified as Level 2 prices. These generally include U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, certain mortgage products, less liquid listed equities, and state, municipal and provincial obligations. As investments whose values are classified as Level 2 prices include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information.
 
  •  Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) — Investments whose values are classified as Level 3 prices have significant unobservable inputs, as they may trade infrequently or not at all. When observable prices are not available for these securities, the funds use one or more valuation techniques for which sufficient and reliable data is available. The inputs used by the funds in estimating the value of Level 3 prices may include the original transaction price, quoted prices for similar securities or assets in active markets, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows. Level 3 prices may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the funds in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the funds due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the funds’ results of operations.
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
 
The levels associated with valuing the funds’ investments as of February 28, 2013 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 government, or letters of credit issued by a bank. Collateral at the individual loan level is required to have a value of at least 102% of the prior day’s market value of the loaned securities for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities and is marked to market

daily. The cash collateral of securities loaned is invested in money market portfolios operating under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. Securities lending income, as disclosed in a 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 which are subject to adjustments pursuant to the securities lending agreement.
 
If applicable, the value of the securities on loan as of February 28, 2013 and the value of the related collateral are disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings and the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
 
(c) 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 withholdings taxes and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or 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. These realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses are reported in foreign currency transactions or translations on the Statement of Operations. 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. In those instances, the funds record a liability based on unrealized gains to provide for potential non-U.S. taxes payable upon the sale of these securities.
 
(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 funds record certain foreign security dividends on the day they learn of the ex-dividend date.
 
(e) Expenses:
 
Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement (“Advisor Agreement”) between Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (“CSIM” or the “investment adviser”) and the trust, the investment adviser will pay the operating expenses of each fund, excluding interest expense, taxes, any brokerage expenses, and extraordinary or non-routine expenses. Interest expense, taxes, any brokerage expenses and extraordinary or non-routine expenses that are specific to a fund are charged directly to the fund.
 
(f) Distributions to Shareholders:
 
The funds declare distributions from net investment income and distribute 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.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
(h) 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.
 
(i) Foreign Taxes:
 
The funds may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, corporate events, foreign currency exchanges and capital gains on investments. 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 paid by the funds and are disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Foreign taxes payable as of February 28, 2013, if any, are reflected in the funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
 
(j) Indemnification:
 
Under the funds’ organizational documents, the officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the funds. In addition, in the normal course of business the funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide general indemnifications. The funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the funds. However, based on experience, the funds expect the risk of loss attributable to these arrangements to be remote.
 
(k) New Accounting Pronouncements:
 
In December 2011, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities,” was issued and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after January 1, 2013. The ASU enhances disclosure requirements with respect to an entity’s rights of offset and related arrangements associated with its financial and derivative instruments. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU No. 2011-11 may have on the funds’ financial statement disclosures.
 
3. Risk Factors:
 
Investing in the funds may involve certain risks, as discussed in the funds’ prospectus, including, but not limited to, those described below. Any of these risks could cause an investor to lose money.
 
Stock markets rise and fall daily. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of the investment in a fund will fluctuate, which means that the investors could lose money.
 
The funds are not actively managed. Therefore, a fund follows the securities included in an index during upturns as well as downturns. Because of their indexing strategies, the funds do not take steps to reduce market exposure or to lessen the effects of a declining market. In addition, because of a fund’s expenses, the fund’s performance is normally below that of the index.
 
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.
 
Certain funds invest in large- and mid-cap stocks. Both large- and mid-cap stocks tend to go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. However, stocks of mid-cap companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger more established companies. During a period when large- and mid-cap U.S. stocks fall behind other types of investments — small-cap stocks, for instance — a fund’s large- and mid-cap holdings could reduce performance.
 
Certain funds invest in small-cap stocks. Historically, small-cap stocks have been riskier than large- and mid-cap stocks, and their prices may move sharply, especially during market upturns and downturns. Small-cap companies 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 — large-cap and mid-cap stocks, for instance — a fund’s small-cap holdings could reduce performance.

3. Risk Factors (continued):
 
A fund’s investments in securities of foreign issuers may involve certain risks that are greater than those associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These include risks of adverse changes in foreign economic, political, regulatory and other conditions; changes in currency exchange rates or exchange control regulations (including limitations on currency movements and exchanges); differing accounting, auditing, financial reporting and legal standards and practices; differing securities market structures; and higher transaction costs. These risks may be heightened in connection with investments in emerging markets. Foreign securities also include ADRs, GDRs, and EDRs, which are receipts issued by U.S. and foreign banks that represent shares of foreign-based corporations. 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.
 
Certain funds invest in emerging markets. Emerging markets 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. 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 a fund’s investments in emerging market countries, which may be magnified by currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar.
 
To the extent a fund uses statistical sampling techniques, the fund may not fully replicate the index and may hold securities not included in the index. As a result, a fund is subject to the risk that the adviser’s investment management strategy, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results. If a fund uses a sampling approach it may not track the return of the index as well as it would if a fund purchased all of the securities in its benchmark index.
 
As an index fund, each 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.
 
Each fund may invest in derivative instruments. The principal types of derivatives a fund may use are futures contracts. A futures contract is an agreement to buy or sell a financial instrument at a specific price on a specific day. 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. Certain of these risks, such as market risk and liquidity risk, are discussed elsewhere in this section. A fund’s use of derivatives is also subject to leverage risk, credit risk, lack of availability risk, valuation risk, correlation risk and tax risk. Leverage risk is the risk that use of derivatives may magnify the effect of any decrease or increase in the value of the fund’s portfolio securities. Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations. Lack of availability risk is the risk that suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances for risk management or other purposes. Valuation risk is the risk that a particular derivative may be valued incorrectly. Correlation risk is the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. Tax risk is the risk that the use of derivatives may cause a fund to realize higher amounts of short-term capital gain. These risks could cause a fund to lose more than the principal amount invested.
 
A particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell. A fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price.
 
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.
 
To the extent that a fund’s or an 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 susceptible to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory occurrences affecting that market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class.

3. Risk Factors (continued):
 
Although fund shares are listed on national securities exchanges, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for fund shares will develop or be maintained. If an active market is not maintained, investors may find it difficult to buy or sell fund shares.
 
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 a fund will approximate a 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 a 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 more complete description of these and other principal risks of investing in the funds.
 
4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions:
 
CSIM, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Charles Schwab Corporation, serves as each fund’s investment adviser pursuant to an Advisory Agreement between CSIM and the trust.
 
For its advisory services to the following funds, CSIM is entitled to receive an annual fee, payable monthly, based on a percentage of each fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
Effective September 20, 2012, the rate is:
 
                     
    Schwab
  Schwab

  Small-Cap
  Markets

  0.09%       0.20%       0.15%  
 
Prior to September 20, 2012, the rate was:
 
                     
    Schwab
  Schwab

  Small-Cap
  Markets

  0.13%       0.35%       0.25%  
 
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 February 28, 2013, there were no transactions involving affiliates.
 
Certain Schwab Funds may own shares of other Schwab Funds. As of February 28, 2013, the percentages of the outstanding shares of the funds owned by other Schwab Funds are less than 1%.
 
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/or officers. For the period ended February 28, 2013, the funds had no direct 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 with other 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. The funds had no interfund borrowing or lending activity during the period.
 
5. Other Service Providers:
 
SEI Investments Distribution Co. is the principal underwriter and distributor of shares of the funds.

5. Other Service Providers (continued):
 
State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) 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 also serves as custodian and accountant for the funds. The custodian is responsible for the daily safekeeping of securities and cash held by the funds. The funds’ accountant maintains all books and records related to the funds’ transactions.
 
6. Board of Trustees:
 
The Board may include people who are officers and/or directors of the investment adviser or its 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 report period. The trust did not pay any of these interested persons for their services as trustees. For information regarding the trustees please refer to Trustees and Officers Table at the end of this report.
 
7. Borrowing from Banks:
 
The funds have access to custodian overdraft facilities and to an uncommitted line of credit of $100 million with State Street. The funds pay interest on the amounts they borrow at rates that are negotiated periodically.
 
There were no borrowings from the line of credit by the funds during the period. However, the funds may have utilized their overdraft facility and incurred interest expense, which is disclosed on the Statement of Operations, if any. The interest expense is determined based on a negotiated rate above the current Federal Funds Rate.
 
8. Purchases and Sales/Maturities of Investment Securities:
 
For the period ended February 28, 2013, 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
    $60,228,725       $35,435,099  
Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF
    17,002,853       15,900,002  
Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF
    111,712,045       21,022,424  
 
9. 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 may pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to the applicable fund, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.
 
The in-kind transactions for the period ended February 28, 2013 were as follows:
 
                 
   
In-kind Purchases of Securities
 
In-kind Sales of Securities
 
Schwab International Equity ETF
    $256,493,190       $—  
Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF
    56,066,939        
Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF
    195,726,904        
 
For the period ended February 28, 2013, 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 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 capital received from investors 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 will be disclosed in the funds’ Statements of Operations.

  As a result of the passage of the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred after December 31, 2010 may now be carried forward indefinitely, but must retain the character of the original loss. However, such losses must be utilized prior to the pre-enactment capital losses, which may increase the likelihood that the pre-enactment capital losses may expire unused. Under pre-enactment law, capital losses could be carried forward for eight years, and carried forward as short-term capital loss, irrespective of the character of the original loss.
 
For tax purposes, realized net capital losses and late-year ordinary losses incurred after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. For the year ended August 31, 2012, the funds had capital losses deferred as follows:

As of August 31, 2012, management has reviewed the tax positions for open periods (for federal purposes, three years from the date of filing and for state purposes, four years from the date of filing) as applicable to the funds, and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the funds’ financial statements. The funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period ended August 31, 2012, the funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
 
11. 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.

ask See “offer.”
 
asset allocation The practice of dividing a portfolio among different asset classes, with each asset class assigned a particular percentage to help offset risks and rewards, based on your goals, time horizon and risk tolerance.
 
asset class A group of securities with similar structure and basic characteristics. Stocks, bonds and cash are the three main examples of asset classes.
 
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.
 
bid The highest price at which someone is willing to buy a security.
 
cap, capitalization See “market cap.”
 
capital gain, capital loss The difference between the amount paid for an investment and its value at a later time. If the investment has been sold, the capital gain or loss is considered a realized gain or loss. If the investment is still held, the gain or loss is still “on paper” and is considered unrealized.
 
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. In return, the APs receive a large block of ETF shares (typically 50,000 shares), which investors can then buy and sell in the secondary market.
 
exchange A marketplace, or any organization or group that provides or maintains a marketplace for trading securities, options, futures, or commodities.
 
expense ratio The amount that is taken from the fund’s assets each year to cover the operating expenses. An expense ratio of 0.50% means that a fund’s expenses amount to half of one percent of its average net assets a year.

median market cap The midpoint of the range of market caps of the stocks held by a fund. There are different ways of calculating median market cap. With a simple median, half of the stocks in the fund’s portfolio would be larger than the median, and half would be smaller. With a weighted median (the type that is calculated for these funds), half of the fund’s assets are invested in stocks that are larger than the median market cap, and half in stocks that are smaller.
 
MSCI EAFE (Europe, Australasia, Far East) Index A free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the U.S. & Canada.
