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.
 
Since ETFs are baskets of securities that trade on a stock exchange, ETF performance must be shown based on both a market price and NAV basis.
 
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 annual 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 benefits of an ETF, including transparency, trading flexibility, and potential tax efficiency.
 
For the 12 months ended August 31, 2013, the funds generated returns that were closely aligned with their respective indices, and reflected a remarkable rally by U.S. stocks. The backdrop for these results included efforts by the Federal Reserve to stimulate the U.S. economy by attempting to hold down interest rates. Encouraged by developments such as an improving housing market, the Fed revealed in May that it was starting to consider “tapering” some of its stimulative policies. Market volatility and bond yields rose in response, and income-oriented stocks suffered sharp subsequent losses.
 
Amid this environment, small- and mid-cap stocks solidly outperformed large-cap stocks, while value stocks outperformed growth stocks. From a sector standpoint, shares of companies in the Consumer Discretionary and Health Care sectors were generally some of the better performers, while shares of companies involved in Information Technology and Telecommunication Services underperformed by comparison. Reflecting the overall performance of

Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF™
 
 
The Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF (the fund) seeks to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the total return of the Dow Jones U.S. Broad Stock Market Index (the index). The index includes the largest 2,500 publicly traded U.S. companies for which pricing information is readily available. The index is a float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index that reflects the shares of securities actually available to investors in the marketplace. 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 not hold all of the securities in the index.
 
During the 12-month period ended August 31, 2013, the fund closely tracked the index. The fund’s market price return was 20.06% and its NAV return was 20.12% (for an explanation of the market price and NAV returns, please refer to footnote 2 on the following page). The index returned 20.10% during the same period. Differences between the return of the fund and the return of the index may be attributable to, among other things, the operational and transactional costs incurred by the fund and not the index.
 
Market Highlights. U.S. stocks generated impressive returns for the 12 months. Some signs of improvement in the U.S. housing market and other sectors of the economy supported these results, as did continued policies by the Federal Reserve aimed at keeping interest rates low, which made financing more affordable for businesses and individuals. Within the index, stocks in the Consumer Discretionary and Health Care sectors were some of the better performers, while stocks in the Telecommunication Services and Information Technology sectors underperformed by comparison.
 
Contributors and Detractors. The Financials sector contributed the most to the index’s return, and to the return of the fund. The large average weight of this sector reflected part of the reason for this contribution, with Financials stocks representing approximately 17% of the fund. The fund’s Financials stocks returned roughly 27% for the 12 months. One example from this sector was Bank of America, which offers banking, investing, asset management, and other financial products and services. Bank of America holdings represented one of the fund’s largest positions within this sector and returned around 77%.
 
Consumer Discretionary stocks, which represented an average weight of roughly 13% of the index and fund, also provided meaningful contributions. The fund’s Consumer Discretionary stocks returned around 31%, reflecting the overall performance of companies involved in retailing, consumer services, media, and other activities. One example from this sector was Home Depot, a home improvement retailer. Home Depot holdings represented the fund’s second-largest position within this sector and returned approximately 33%.
 
The Telecommunication Services sector generated positive returns for the index and fund, but contributed the least to the fund’s performance. The Telecommunication Services sector represented an average weight of roughly 3% of the fund and returned approximately 6%. One example from this sector was AT&T, a communications holding company. The fund’s AT&T holdings represented the fund’s largest position in this sector and returned around -3%.
 
The Utilities sector generated positive returns for the index and fund, but was another weak overall contributor to performance. The Utilities sector represented an average weight of approximately 3% of the fund and returned roughly 9%. The fund’s holdings of Exelon Corporation, a utility services holding company, provided one example from this sector. The fund’s holdings of Exelon Corporation detracted more from performance for the 12 months than any other position within this sector, and returned about -12%.

Schwab U.S. Large-Cap ETF™
 
 
The Schwab U.S. Large-Cap ETF (the fund) seeks to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the total return of the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Total Stock Market Index (the index). The index includes the large-cap portion of the Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index actually available to investors in the marketplace. The index includes the components ranked 1-750 by full market capitalization. The fund will generally give the same weight to a given stock as the index does.
 
During the 12-month period ended August 31, 2013, the fund closely tracked the index. The fund’s market price return was 19.14% and its NAV return was 19.17% (for an explanation of the market price and NAV returns, please refer to footnote 2 on the following page). The index returned 19.25% during the same period. Differences between the return of the fund and the return of the index may be attributable to, among other things, the operational and transactional costs incurred by the fund and not the index.

Contributors and Detractors. The Financials sector contributed the most to the index’s return, and to the return of the fund.

The fund’s Financials stocks returned roughly 28% for the 12 months. One example from this sector was Bank of America, which offers banking, investing, asset management, and other financial products and services. Bank of America holdings represented one of the fund’s largest positions within this sector and returned around 77%.
 
Consumer Discretionary stocks, which represented an average weight of roughly 12% of the index and fund, also provided meaningful contributions. The fund’s Consumer Discretionary stocks returned around 30%, reflecting the overall performance of companies involved in retailing, consumer services, media, and other activities. One example from this sector was Home Depot, a home improvement retailer. Home Depot holdings represented the fund’s largest position within this sector and returned approximately 33%.
 
The Telecommunication Services sector generated positive returns for the index and fund, but contributed the least to the fund’s performance. The Telecommunication Services sector represented an average weight of roughly 3% of the fund, and underperformed all other sectors in the index, returning approximately 5%. One example from this sector was CenturyLink Inc., an integrated communications company. The fund’s CenturyLink Inc. holdings returned around -16%.
 
The Utilities sector generated positive returns for the index and fund, but was another weak overall contributor to performance. The Utilities sector represented an average weight of approximately 4% of the fund and returned roughly 9%. The fund’s holdings of Exelon Corporation, a utility services holding company, provided one example from this sector. The fund’s holdings of Exelon Corporation detracted more from performance for the 12 months than any other position within this sector, and returned about -12%.

Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF™
 
 
The Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF (the fund) seeks to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the total return of the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Growth Total Stock Market Index (the index). The index includes the large-cap growth portion of the Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index actually available to investors in the marketplace. The index includes the components ranked 1-750 by full market capitalization and that are classified as “growth” based on a number of factors. The fund will generally give the same weight to a given stock as the index does.
 
During the 12-month period ended August 31, 2013, the fund closely tracked the index. The fund’s market price return was 17.82% and its NAV return was 18.02% (for an explanation of the market price and NAV returns, please refer to footnote 2 on the following page). The index returned 18.12% during the same period. Differences between the return of the fund and the return of the index may be attributable to, among other things, the operational and transactional costs incurred by the fund and not the index.
 
Market Highlights. U.S. stocks generated impressive returns for the 12 months. Some signs of improvement in the U.S. housing market and other sectors of the economy supported these results, as did continued policies by the Federal Reserve aimed at keeping interest rates low, which made financing more affordable for businesses and individuals. Within the index, stocks in the Health Care and Consumer Discretionary sectors were some of the better performers, while stocks in the Information Technology and Materials sectors underperformed by comparison.
 
Contributors and Detractors. The Health Care sector was the biggest contributor to the index’s return, and to the return of the fund. The large average weight of this sector reflected part of the reason for this contribution, with Health Care stocks representing approximately 14% of the fund. In addition, the fund’s Health Care stocks generated higher overall returns than stocks in any other sector, returning roughly 33%. One example from this sector was Gilead Sciences, Inc., a research-based biopharmaceutical company. Gilead Sciences, Inc. holdings represented one of the fund’s largest positions within this sector and returned around 109%, outperforming other Health Care holdings.
 
Consumer Discretionary stocks, which represented an average weight of roughly 14% of the index and fund, also provided meaningful contributions. The fund’s Consumer Discretionary stocks returned around 27%, reflecting the overall performance of companies involved in retailing, consumer services, media, and other activities. One example from this sector was Comcast Corporation, a company that provides media and television broadcasting services. Comcast Corporation holdings represented the fund’s largest position within this sector and returned approximately 28%.
 
The Utilities sector generated solid returns for the index and fund, but was the weakest contributor to the fund’s performance. The Utilities sector represented an average weight of less than 1% of the fund and returned roughly 17%. The fund’s holdings of Calpine Corporation provided one example from this sector. Calpine Corporation acquires, develops, owns, and operates power generation facilities, and the fund’s holdings of this company returned approximately 10%.
 
The Telecommunication Services sector also generated positive results for the index and fund, but was another comparatively weak contributor to the fund’s overall return. The Telecommunication Services sector represented an average weight of less than 1% of the fund, while returning approximately 19%. One example from this sector was United States Cellular Corporation, the fund’s only holdings in this sector to generate a negative return. United States Cellular Corporation provides cellular telephone service throughout the U.S., and the fund’s holdings of this company returned around -5%.

Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Value ETF™
 
 
The Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Value ETF (the fund) seeks to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the total return of the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Value Total Stock Market Index (the index). The index includes the large-cap value portion of the Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index actually available to investors in the marketplace. The index includes the components ranked 1-750 by full market capitalization and that are classified as “value” based on a number of factors. The fund will generally give the same weight to a given stock as the index does.
 
During the 12-month period ended August 31, 2013, the fund closely tracked the index. The fund’s market price return was 20.09% and its NAV return was 20.06% (for an explanation of the market price and NAV returns, please refer to footnote 2 on the following page). The index returned 20.23% during the same period. Differences between the return of the fund and the return of the index may be attributable to, among other things, the operational and transactional costs incurred by the fund and not the index.
 
Market Highlights. U.S. stocks generated impressive returns for the 12 months. Some signs of improvement in the U.S. housing market and other sectors of the economy supported these results, as did continued policies by the Federal Reserve aimed at keeping interest rates low, which made financing more affordable for businesses and individuals. Within the index, stocks in the Consumer Discretionary and Financials sectors were some of the better performers, while stocks in the Telecommunication Services and Utilities sectors underperformed by comparison.
 
Contributors and Detractors. The Financials sector was the biggest contributor to the index’s return, and to the return of the fund. Financials stocks represented an average weight of approximately 23% of the fund, more than twice the size of any other sector. The fund’s Financials stocks returned roughly 31% for the 12 months. One example from this sector was Bank of America, which offers banking, investing, asset management, and other financial products and services. Bank of America holdings represented one of the fund’s largest positions within this sector and returned around 77%.
 
Consumer Discretionary stocks, which represented an average weight of roughly 11% of the index and fund, also provided meaningful contributions. The fund’s Consumer Discretionary stocks returned around 33%, reflecting the overall performance of companies involved in retailing, consumer services, media, and other activities. One example from this sector was Home Depot, a home improvement retailer. Home Depot holdings represented the fund’s largest position within this sector and returned approximately 33%.
 
The Telecommunication Services sector generated modestly positive results for the index and fund, but was the weakest contributor to the fund’s performance. The Telecommunication Services sector represented an average weight of approximately 5% of the fund, while returning roughly 4% and underperforming other sectors. One example among the fund’s Telecommunication Services holdings was AT&T, the fund’s largest position in this sector. The fund’s AT&T holdings returned around -3%.
 
The Utilities sector generated respectable returns for the index and fund, but was another comparatively weak contributor to the fund’s overall performance. The Utilities sector represented an average weight of roughly 6% of the fund and returned about 8%. The fund’s holdings of Exelon Corporation, a utility services holding company, provided one example from this sector. The fund’s holdings of Exelon Corporation detracted more from performance for the 12 months than any other position within this sector, and returned about -12%.

Schwab U.S. Mid-Cap ETF™
 
 
The Schwab U.S. Mid-Cap ETF (the fund) seeks to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the total return of the Dow Jones U.S. Mid-Cap Total Stock Market Index (the index). The index includes the mid-cap portion of the Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index actually available to investors in the marketplace. The index includes the components ranked 501–1,000 by full market capitalization. The fund will generally give the same weight to a given security as the index does.
 
During the 12-month period ended August 31, 2013, the fund closely tracked the index. The fund’s market price return was 26.18% and its NAV return was 26.27% (for an explanation of the market price and NAV returns, please refer to footnote 2 on the following page). The index returned 26.38% during the same period. Differences between the return of the fund and the return of the index may be attributable to, among other things, the operational and transactional costs incurred by the fund and not the index.
 
Market Highlights. U.S. stocks generated impressive returns for the 12 months. Some signs of improvement in the U.S. housing market and other sectors of the economy supported these results, as did continued policies by the Federal Reserve aimed at keeping interest rates low, which made financing more affordable for businesses and individuals. Within the index, stocks in the Consumer Staples and Consumer Discretionary sectors were some of the better performers, while stocks in the Utilities and Financials sectors generated double-digit returns, but underperformed by comparison.
 
Contributors and Detractors. Consumer Discretionary stocks, which represented an average weight of roughly 16% of the index and fund, contributed the most to the returns of the fund and index. The fund’s Consumer Discretionary stocks returned around 39%, reflecting the overall performance of companies involved in retailing, consumer services, media, and other activities. One example from this sector was Tesla Motors, Inc., which designs, manufactures, and sells high-performance electric vehicles. Easily outperforming any other stocks in this sector, the fund’s Tesla Motors, Inc. holdings generated a triple-digit return of approximately 493%.
 
The Industrials sector also provided a meaningful contribution to the index’s return, and to the return of the fund. Industrials stocks represented an average weight of approximately 16% of the fund and returned roughly 30%. One example from this sector was United Continental Holdings Inc., an airline holding company. United Continental Holdings Inc. represented the fund’s largest position within this sector and returned around 54%.
 
The Telecommunication Services sector generated positive results for the index and fund, but was the weakest contributor to the fund’s performance. The Telecommunication Services sector represented an average weight of approximately 1% of the fund and returned roughly 28%. One example among the fund’s Telecommunication Services holdings was Windstream Holdings Inc., which offers telecommunication services to residential and business customers. The fund’s Windstream Holdings Inc. stock returned around -2%, and was the fund’s only position in this sector to generate negative returns.
 
The Utilities sector also performed well, but was another comparatively weak contributor to the overall returns generated by the fund and index. The Utilities sector represented an average weight of roughly 6% of the fund and returned about 17%. The fund’s holdings of Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc., a diversified holding company, provided one example from this sector. The fund’s holdings of Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. were the only stocks within this sector to detract from performance, returning about -1%.

Schwab U.S. Small-Cap ETF™
 
 
The Schwab U.S. Small-Cap ETF (the fund) seeks to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the total return of the Dow Jones U.S. Small-Cap Total Stock Market Index (the index). The index includes the small-cap portion of the Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index actually available to investors in the marketplace. The index includes the components ranked 751-2,500 by full market capitalization. The fund will generally give the same weight to a given stock as the index does.
 
During the 12-month period ended August 31, 2013, the fund closely tracked the index. The fund’s market price return was 27.33% and its NAV return was 27.47% (for an explanation of the market price and NAV returns, please refer to footnote 2 on the following page). The index returned 27.50% during the same period. Differences between the return of the fund and the return of the index may be attributable to, among other things, the operational and transactional costs incurred by the fund and not the index.
 
Market Highlights. U.S. stocks generated impressive returns for the 12 months. Some signs of improvement in the U.S. housing market and other sectors of the economy supported these results, as did continued policies by the Federal Reserve aimed at keeping interest rates low, which made financing more affordable for businesses and individuals. Within the index, stocks in the Consumer Discretionary and Industrials sectors were some of the better performers, while stocks in the Utilities and Materials sectors generated double-digit returns, but underperformed by comparison.
 
Contributors and Detractors. The Industrials sector contributed the most to the index’s return, and to the return of the fund. Industrials stocks represented an average weight of approximately 17% of the fund and returned roughly 36%, reflecting the performance of companies involved in commercial services and supplies, transportation, and in the production of capital goods for industries like aerospace and defense. One example of the performance of the Industrials sector was United Rentals, Inc., an equipment rental company. The fund’s United Rentals, Inc. holdings returned 64%.
 
The Financials sector was the next biggest contributor to the index’s return, and to the return of the fund. Financials stocks represented an average weight of approximately 23% of the fund, larger than any other sector. The fund’s Financials stocks returned roughly 22% for the 12 months, and one example from this sector was Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc., a company that serves as an investment advisor and exclusive underwriter and distributor for a family of mutual funds through its subsidiaries. The fund’s Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc. holdings returned approximately 71%.
 
The Telecommunication Services sector generated positive results for the index and fund, but contributed the least to performance. The Telecommunication Services sector represented an average weight of less than 1% of the fund, well below the size of other sectors, and returned around 30%. One example among the fund’s Telecommunication Services holdings was Cincinnati Bell Inc., a local exchange and wireless provider of telecommunications products and services. The fund’s Cincinnati Bell Inc. holdings returned roughly -36%.
 
After the Telecommunication Services sector, the Utilities sector was smallest sector in the index and fund, representing an average weight of approximately 3%. Utilities stocks generated a return of approximately 12% for the fund. Shares of Northwest Natural Gas Company, a company that distributes natural gas to customers, underperformed other stocks in this sector. The fund’s holdings of Northwest Natural Gas Company returned about -13%.

Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF™
 
 
The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (the fund) seeks to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the total return of the Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100 Index (the index). The 100-component index is a subset of the Dow Jones U.S. Broad Market Index, excluding REITs, master limited partnerships, preferred stocks, and convertibles. The index is modified market-capitalization weighted. The fund will generally give the same weight to a given stock as the index does.
 
During the 12-month period ended August 31, 2013, the fund closely tracked the index. The fund’s market price return was 18.77% and its NAV return was 18.93% (for an explanation of the market price and NAV returns, please refer to footnote 2 on the following page). The index returned 19.04% during the same period. Differences between the return of the fund and the return of the index may be attributable to, among other things, the operational and transactional costs incurred by the fund and not the index.
 
Market Highlights. U.S. stocks generated impressive returns for the 12 months. Some signs of improvement in the U.S. housing market and other sectors of the economy supported these results, as did continued policies by the Federal Reserve aimed at keeping interest rates low, which made financing more affordable for businesses and individuals. Within the index, stocks in the Industrials and Materials were some of the better performers, while stocks in the Telecommunication Services and Utilities sectors underperformed by comparison.
 
Contributors and Detractors. The Industrials sector contributed the most to the index’s return, and to the return of the fund. Industrials stocks represented an average weight of approximately 17% of the fund and returned roughly 30%, reflecting the performance of companies involved in commercial services and supplies, transportation, and in the production of capital goods for industries like aerospace and defense. One example of the performance of the Industrials sector was the Boeing Company, which develops, produces, and markets commercial jet aircraft. The fund’s Boeing Company holdings returned approximately 49% for the 12 months.
 
Consumer Staples stocks, which represented approximately 28% of the index and the fund, provided the next biggest contribution to performance. The fund’s Consumer Staples holdings returned approximately 13%. The Procter & Gamble Company—which manufactures and markets consumer products—provided one example of this sector’s performance, with the fund’s holdings returning about 20%.
 
The Telecommunication Services sector detracted the most from the fund’s performance, and was the only sector to generate a negative overall return. The Telecommunication Services sector represented an average weight of roughly 1% of the fund, and the only company within this sector was CenturyLink Inc., an integrated communications company. The fund’s holdings of this company returned roughly -16%.
 
After the Telecommunication Services sector, the Utilities sector was smallest sector in the fund and index, and provided one of the smallest contributions to performance. Utilities stocks generated a return of approximately 4% for the fund, and represented an average weight of roughly 3%. One example of the performance of the Utilities sector was the Exelon Corporation, a utility services holding company. The fund’s Exelon Corporation holdings returned approximately -5%.

Table of Contents

 
Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
 
 Examples for a $1,000 Investment
 
As a fund shareholder, you may 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 March 1, 2013 and held through August 31, 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 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 a 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 a fund. Therefore, the hypothetical return lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Financial Notes
 
 
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:

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”). For more information about the underlying funds’ operations and policies, please refer to those funds’ semiannual and annual reports, which are filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
 
(a) Security Valuation:
 
Under procedures approved by the 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: Traded securities are 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. Due to the subjective and variable nature of fair value pricing, there can be no assurance that a fund could obtain the fair value assigned to the security upon the sale of such security. The Board convenes on a regular basis to review fair value determinations made by the funds pursuant to the valuation procedures.
 
  •  Short-term securities (60 days or less to maturity): Short-term securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
 
  •  Underlying funds: Mutual funds are valued at their respective NAVs. Exchange traded funds (ETFs) traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the official closing price, if applicable.
 
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). If inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. If the funds determine that either the volume and/or level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased (from normal conditions for that asset or liability) or price quotations or observable inputs are not associated with orderly transactions, increased analysis and management judgment will be required to estimate fair value.
 
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
 
  •  Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities — Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equities and ETFs. Investments in mutual funds are valued daily at their NAVs, and investments in ETFs are valued daily at the last reported sale price or the official closing price, which are classified as Level 1 prices.
 
  •  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 August 31, 2013 are disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
(b) Accounting Policies for certain Portfolio Investments (if held):
 
Securities Lending: Under the trust’s Securities Lending Program, a fund (lender) may make short-term loans of its securities to another party (borrower) to generate additional revenue for the fund. The borrower pledges collateral in the form of cash, securities issued or fully guaranteed by the U.S. government or foreign governments, or letters of credit issued by a bank. Collateral at the individual loan level is required to 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 lending agent provides the fund with indemnification against borrower default. The fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of cash collateral. 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. On loans collateralized by U.S. Treasury and/or federal agency obligations, a fee is received from the borrower, and is allocated between the fund and the lending agent.
 
The values of the securities on loan and the related cash collateral are disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings and the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for each fund. The following table presents the non-cash collateral as of August 31, 2013.

Schwab U.S. Mid-Cap ETF
    3,779,146  
Schwab U.S. Small-Cap ETF
    1,039,200  
 
(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. Any distributions from underlying funds are recorded in accordance with the character of the distributions as designated by the underlying funds.
 
(e) Expenses:
 
Pursuant to 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 make distributions from net investment income quarterly and from net realized capital gains, if any, once a year.
 
(g) Accounting Estimates:
 
The accounting policies described in this report conform to GAAP. Notwithstanding this, shareholders should understand that in order to follow these principles, fund management has to make estimates and assumptions that affect the information reported in the financial statements. It’s possible that once the results are known, they may turn out to be different from these estimates and these differences may be material.

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) Indemnification:
 
Under the funds’ organizational documents, the officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the funds. In addition, in the normal course of business the funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide general indemnifications. The funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the funds. However, based on experience, the funds expect the risk of loss attributable to these arrangements to be remote.
 
3. Risk Factors:
 
Investing in the funds may involve certain risks, as discussed in the funds’ prospectus, including, but not limited to, those described below. Any of these risks could cause an investor to lose money.
 
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.

3. Risk Factors (continued):
 
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 certain 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 their respective 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.
 
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 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 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 the 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.

Certain Schwab funds may own shares of other Schwab funds. As of August 31, 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%.
 
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 to be charged on a loan is the average of the overnight repurchase agreement rate and the short-term bank loan rate. The interfund lending facility is subject to the oversight and periodic review 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.
 
8. Purchases and Sales/Maturities of Investment Securities:
 
For the period ended August 31, 2013, purchases and sales/maturities of securities (excluding in-kind transactions and short-term obligations) were as follows:

    109,495,680       102,756,994  
 
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 are subject to a standard creation transaction fee and a standard redemption transaction fee paid to the custodian to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units. Purchasers and redeemers of Creation Units for cash are subject to an additional variable charge paid to the fund that will offset the transaction costs to the fund of buying or selling portfolio securities. In addition, purchasers and redeemers of shares in Creation Units are responsible for payment of the costs of transferring securities to or out of the fund. From time to time, the Adviser may cover the cost of any transaction fees when believed to be in the best interests of the fund.
 
The in-kind transactions for the period ended August 31, 2013 were as follows:
 
                 
   
In-kind Purchases of Securities
 
In-kind Sales of Securities
 
Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF
    $920,775,635       $74,215,612

Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF
    668,834,636       136,435,524  
 
For the period ended August 31, 2013, the 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 August 31, 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, 2013, the funds had capital losses deferred as follows:

Long-term capital gains
                                         
 
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 components of net assets as required. The adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. As of August 31, 2013, the funds made the following reclassifications:

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, Schwab U.S. Mid-Cap ETF, Schwab U.S. Small-Cap ETF and Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (seven of the funds constituting Schwab Strategic Trust, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at August 31, 2013, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended and the changes in each of 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2013 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, 2013
 
The following charts are provided to show the frequency at which the daily closing 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.

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. Free-float market capitalization is a variation of market capitalization that only includes shares generally available to the public, and excludes shares of a company held by entities such as the government. Modified market capitalization weighting represents a mix between conventional market capitalization weighting and equal weighting.
 
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.
 
offer (ask) The lowest price at which an individual is willing to sell a security.
 
open The price at which a security opened for trading on a given day.
 
outstanding shares, shares outstanding When speaking of the fund, indicates all shares currently held by investors.
 
price-to-book ratio (P/B)  The market price of a company’s stock compared with its “book value.” A mutual fund’s P/B is the weighted average of the P/B of all stocks in the fund’s portfolio.
 
price-to-earnings ratio (P/E)  The market price of a company’s stock compared with earnings over the past year. A mutual fund’s P/E is the weighted average of the P/E of all stocks in the fund’s portfolio.
 
primary market The market that deals with the issuance of new securities.
 
 
 
 131


Table of Contents

S&P 500 Index A market capitalization index that is designed to measure the performance of 500 leading publicly held companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy.
 
SEC yield A standard yield calculation developed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that allows for 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.
 
stock A share of ownership, or equity, in the issuing company.
 
total return The percentage that an investor would have earned or lost on an investment in the fund assuming dividends and distributions were reinvested.
 
tracking error The difference between the performance of the fund and its benchmark index, positive or negative.

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.
 
Since ETFs are baskets of securities that trade on a stock exchange, ETF performance must be shown based on both a market price and NAV basis.
 
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.
 
Index ownership — “FTSE®” is a trademark owned by the London Stock Exchange plc and is used by FTSE International Limited (“FTSE”) under license. FTSE does not sponsor, endorse or promote Schwab ETFs and does not accept any liability in relation to their issue, operation and trading.
 
* 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.

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 annual 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 and provide the benefits of an ETF, including transparency, trading flexibility, and potential tax efficiency.
 
For the 12 months ended August 31, 2013, the funds generated returns that were closely aligned with their respective indices, and reflected a mixed performance by overseas equities. The environment for these returns included generally volatile conditions for emerging markets, and policies by many central banks meant to stimulate economic growth. In the U.S., signs of economic improvement led the Federal Reserve to announce that it was starting to consider “tapering” some of its stimulative policies. Bond yields rose sharply around the world in response to this announcement, while income-oriented stocks suffered steep subsequent losses.
 
Amid this backdrop, stocks in developed international markets solidly outperformed stocks in emerging markets. Japanese equities were some of the better performers, while select euro zone markets also performed well. Among emerging markets, stocks in China generated solid returns as the country’s economy seemed to stabilize, while stocks in Brazil, India, and Russia faced

headwinds and underperformed. Reflecting these developments, the FTSE Developed ex-U.S. Index returned 16.6% for the 12 months ended August 31, 2013, while the FTSE Emerging Index returned -0.6%.* The depreciation of many foreign currencies versus the U.S. dollar played a role in these performances, reducing the returns of international investments in U.S. dollar terms.

Schwab International Equity ETF™
 
 
The Schwab International Equity ETF (the fund) seeks to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the total return of the FTSE Developed ex-US Index (the index). The index is comprised of large and mid capitalization companies in developed countries outside the U.S., as defined by the index provider. The index defines the large and mid capitalization universe as approximately the top 90% of the eligible universe. 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 not hold all of the securities included in the index.
 
During the 12-month period ended August 31, 2013, the fund closely tracked the index. The fund’s market price return was 15.86% and its NAV return was 16.60% (for an explanation of the market price and NAV returns, please refer to footnote 2 on the following page). The index returned 16.64% during the same period. Differences between the return of the fund and the return of the index may be attributable to, among other things, the operational and transactional costs incurred by the fund and not the index.
 
Market Highlights. Large-cap international stocks performed very well, with most country markets in the index generating positive returns. Signs of stabilization regarding the euro zone’s sovereign debt crisis and early evidence of possible economic improvement in the region provided positive catalysts for these results. However, many foreign currencies depreciated versus the U.S. dollar, reducing the returns of overseas investments in U.S. dollar terms.
 
Contributors and Detractors. Japanese stocks were some of the biggest contributors to the returns of both the fund and index. Japanese companies represented an average weight of approximately 18% of the fund, and returned roughly 25% in U.S. dollar terms. One example from this market was Toyota Motor Corporation, which manufactures, sells, leases, and repairs passenger cars, trucks, busses, and their parts. Toyota Motor Corporation holdings represented the fund’s largest position in Japan and returned roughly 57%.
 
U.K. stocks, which represented an average weight of about 18% for the fund, also provided meaningful contributions. Shares of U.K. companies returned approximately 15% for the fund. One example from this market was HSBC Holdings plc, a holding company for the HSBC Group, which provides a variety of international banking and financial services. Shares of HSBC Holdings plc returned approximately 26% for the fund in U.S. dollar terms, contributing more to its return than any other U.K. holding.
 
Canadian stocks were some of the smallest contributors to the performances of the index and fund. Shares of Canadian companies represented an average weight of approximately 8% of the fund, and returned roughly 3% in U.S. dollar terms. One example from this market was Barrick Gold Corporation, an international company with operating mines and development projects in many parts of the world. Shares of Barrick Gold Corporation lost nearly half their value over the 12 months, returning -49%.
 
Stocks from Norway also provided limited contributions to the returns of both the fund and index. Holdings in this country represented roughly 1% of the fund and returned approximately 5% in U.S. dollar terms. Statoil ASA—a company that explores for, produces, transports, refines, and trades oil and natural gas—provided one example from this market, returning approximately -10% for the fund.

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.

* 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.
** Inception represents the date that the shares began trading in the secondary market.
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.

Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF™
 
 
The Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF (the fund) 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). The index is comprised of small capitalization companies in developed countries outside the U.S., as defined by the index provider. The index defines the small capitalization universe as approximately the bottom 10% of the eligible universe with a minimum free-float capitalization of $150 million. 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 not hold all of the securities included in the index.
 
During the 12-month period ended August 31, 2013, the fund closely tracked the index. The fund’s market price return was 18.78% and its NAV return was 18.23% (for an explanation of the market price and NAV returns, please refer to footnote 2 on the following page). The index returned 18.19% during the same period.
 
Market Highlights. Small-cap international stocks performed very well, with most country markets in the index generating positive returns. Signs of stabilization regarding the euro zone’s sovereign debt crisis and early evidence of possible economic improvement in the region provided positive catalysts for these results. However, many foreign currencies depreciated versus the U.S. dollar, reducing the returns of overseas investments in U.S. dollar terms.
 
Contributors and Detractors. U.K. stocks were overwhelmingly the top contributors to the performances of the index and fund. Shares of U.K. companies represented an average weight of approximately 19%, and returned roughly 31% for the fund in U.S. dollar terms. Within this market, holdings of Ashtead Group Plc—an international equipment rental company servicing customers in the U.S. and U.K.—generated significant contributions thanks in part to a triple-digit return of about 124%.
 
Japanese stocks provided the next biggest contribution to the returns generated by the index and fund. Japanese companies represented an average weight of approximately 14% for the fund, and returned roughly 15% in U.S. dollar terms. One example from this market was AIFUL Corporation, a consumer financing firm. AIFUL Corporation holdings represented one of the fund’s largest positions in Japan and provided a triple-digit return of roughly 184%.
 
Stocks from Australia generated negative returns for the 12 months, representing the only market to detract from the overall returns of the index and fund. Australian stocks represented an average weight of roughly 7% for the fund, and returned approximately -11% in U.S. dollar terms. One example from this market was Perseus Mining Limited, a mineral exploration company. The fund’s Perseus Mining Limited holdings returned about -73%.
 
Beyond Australian stocks, Canadian stocks represented an average weight of approximately 19% of the fund, and returned roughly 3% in U.S. dollar terms. One example from this market was Athabasca Oil Corp, which develops oil sands in Alberta, Canada. Shares of Athabasca Oil Corp lost nearly half their value over the 12 months, returning -48%.

Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF™
 
 
The Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF (the fund) seeks to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the total return of the FTSE Emerging Index (the index). The index is comprised of the large and mid capitalization companies in emerging market countries, as defined by the index provider. The index defines the large and mid capitalization universe as approximately the top 90% of the eligible universe. 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 not hold all of the securities included in the index.
 
During the 12-month period ended August 31, 2013, the fund closely tracked the index. The fund’s market price return was -2.79% and its NAV return was -0.89% (for an explanation of the market price and NAV returns, please refer to footnote 2 on the following page). Most of the difference between the fund’s market price return and its NAV return occurred toward the end of the report period.* The index returned -0.59% during the same period. Differences between the return of the fund and the return of the index may be attributable to, among other things, the operational and transactional costs incurred by the fund and not the index.
 
Market Highlights. Emerging market stocks generated disappointing returns, as economic growth showed signs of stabilizing in China, but remained limited or lackluster in major emerging market countries such as Brazil, Russia, and India. Inflation became a concern for some overseas economies, also weighing on the overall performance of emerging market stocks. In addition, the depreciation of foreign currencies such as the Brazilian real, Russian ruble, and Indian rupee versus the U.S. dollar reduced the returns of international investments in U.S. dollar terms.
 
Contributors and Detractors. Chinese stocks contributed the most to the returns generated by both the index and fund. The large average weight for this market represented part of the reason for this contribution, with Chinese stocks representing approximately 19% of the fund. The fund’s Chinese stocks returned roughly 15% in U.S. dollar terms. One example from this market was Tencent Holdings Limited, a company that provides Internet, mobile, and telecommunication services in China. The fund’s holdings of this company returned roughly 39%.
 
Stocks from Taiwan also provided meaningful contributions to the performances of the index and fund. Taiwanese companies represented an average weight of approximately 13% of the fund, and returned roughly 10% in U.S. dollar terms. One example from this market is Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd., which manufactures integrated circuits. The fund held American Depositary Receipts representing common stock of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd.—a position that was twice the size of the fund’s next largest holdings in this market—that returned about 16%.
 
Brazilian stocks were among the biggest detractors from the returns of the index and fund. Stocks from Brazil represented an average weight of approximately 15% of the fund, and returned roughly -15% in U.S. dollar terms. One example from this market was Petroleo Brasileiro Petrobras SA, a multinational energy corporation. The fund’s holdings in the ordinary shares of this firm returned about -4%, while the fund’s holdings in an American Depositary Receipt (ADR) based on the firm’s securities returned about -32%.
 
Stocks from India also performed poorly, reducing the fund’s and index’s returns. This country market represented an average weight of approximately 9% of the fund, while returning about -9% in U.S. dollar terms. One example from this market was India’s Housing Development Finance Corporation Ltd., or HDFC, which provides long-term housing loans to low and middle income individuals, and to corporations. The fund’s HDFC holdings returned roughly -17%.

Table of Contents

 
Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
 
 Examples for a $1,000 Investment
 
As a fund shareholder, you may 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 March 1, 2013 and held through August 31, 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 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 a 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 a fund. Therefore, the hypothetical return lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

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 in and out of Level 3 from Level 1 or Level 2 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 August 31, 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:

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”). For more information about the underlying funds’ operations and policies, please refer to those funds’ semiannual and annual reports, which are filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
 
(a) Security Valuation:
 
Under procedures approved by the 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: Traded securities are 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

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
  determinations in good faith in accordance with the fund’s valuation procedures. The Pricing Committee considers a number of factors, including unobservable market inputs when arriving at fair value. The Pricing Committee may employ techniques such as the review of related or comparable assets or liabilities, related market activities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, transactional back-testing, disposition analysis and other relevant information. The Pricing Committee regularly reviews these inputs and assumptions to calibrate the valuations. Due to the subjective and variable nature of fair value pricing, there can be no assurance that a fund could obtain the fair value assigned to the security upon the sale of such security. The Board convenes on a regular basis to review fair value determinations made by the funds pursuant to the valuation procedures.
 
  •  Bonds and notes: Bonds and notes are 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): Short-term securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
 
  •  Underlying funds: Mutual funds are valued at their respective NAVs. Exchange traded funds (ETFs) traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the official closing price, if applicable.
 
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). If inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. If the funds determine that either the volume and/or level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased (from normal conditions for that asset or liability) or price quotations or observable inputs are not associated with orderly transactions, increased analysis and management judgment will be required to estimate fair value.
 
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
 
  •  Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities — Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equities and ETFs. Investments in mutual funds are valued daily at their NAVs, and investments in ETFs are valued daily at the last reported sale price or the official closing price, which are classified as Level 1 prices.
 
  •  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.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
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 August 31, 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 governments, 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 lending agent provides the fund with indemnification against borrower default. The fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of cash collateral. 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. On loans collateralized by U.S. Treasury and/or federal agency obligations, a fee is received from the borrower, and is allocated between the fund and the lending agent.
 
The values of the securities on loan and the related cash collateral are disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings and the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for each fund. The following table presents the non-cash collateral as of August 31, 2013.
 
         
    Non-Cash
   
Collateral Received

    $234,677  
 
(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 withholding 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. Any distributions from underlying funds are recorded in accordance with the character of the distributions as designated by the underlying funds.

Financial Notes (continued)
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
Income received from foreign sources may result in withholding tax. Withholding taxes are accrued at the same time as the related income if the tax is fixed and known, unless a tax withheld is reclaimable from the local tax authorities in which case it is recorded as receivable. If the tax rate is not known or estimable, such expense or reclaim receivable is recorded when the net proceeds are received.
 
(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 make distributions from net investment income and 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) 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 August 31, 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.
 
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.

Financial Notes (continued)
 
3. Risk Factors (continued):
 
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.
 
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.
 
Each fund uses statistical sampling techniques, and as a result, a 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. Because each 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

3. Risk Factors (continued):
 
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 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 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 the 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 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:

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 to be charged on a loan is the average of the overnight repurchase agreement rate and the short-term bank loan rate. The interfund

lending facility is subject to the oversight and periodic review 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.
 
8. Purchases and Sales/Maturities of Investment Securities:
 
For the period ended August 31, 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
    $183,203,567       $98,505,973

Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF
    231,622,603       107,791,694  
 
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 are subject to a standard creation transaction fee and a standard redemption transaction fee paid to the custodian to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units. Purchasers and redeemers of Creation Units for cash are subject to an additional variable charge paid to the fund that will offset the transaction costs to the fund of buying or selling portfolio securities. In addition, purchasers and redeemers of shares in Creation Units are responsible for payment of the costs of transferring securities to or out of the fund. From time to time, the Adviser may cover the cost of any transaction fees when believed to be in the best interests of the fund.

9. In-Kind Transactions (continued):
 
The in-kind transactions for the period ended August 31, 2013 were as follows:
 
                 
   
In-kind Purchases of Securities
 
In-kind Sales of Securities
 
Schwab International Equity ETF
    $514,396,148       $11,799,922

Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF
    242,520,117       11,503,090  
 
For the period ended August 31, 2013, the 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 August 31, 2013 are disclosed in the funds’ Statements of Operations.
 
10. Federal Income Taxes
 
As of August 31, 2013, the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:

    86,626,804       16,975,000       (74,700,359 )
                         
 
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 the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains on investments in Passive Foreign Investment Companies (PFIC).
 
Capital loss carryforwards may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. As of August 31, 2013, the funds had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future net capital gains before the expiration dates as follows:

  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.

Ordinary Income
    19,440,541       4,859,831       9,535,681  
Long-term capital gains
                 
 
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 funds for financial reporting purposes. The funds may also designate a portion of the amount paid to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for tax purposes.
 
The permanent book and tax basis differences may result in reclassifications between components of net assets as required. The adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. As of August 31, 2013, the funds made the following reclassifications:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
 
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of:
Schwab International Equity ETF
Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF
Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF
 
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 funds constituting Schwab Strategic Trust, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at August 31, 2013, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the four years or periods in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2013 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, 2013
 
The following charts are provided to show the frequency at which the daily closing 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.

market cap, market capitalization The value of a company as determined by the total value of all shares of its stock outstanding. Free-float market capitalization is a variation of market capitalization that only includes shares generally available to the public, and excludes shares of a company held by entities such as the government. Modified market capitalization weighting represents a mix between conventional market capitalization weighting and equal weighting.

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.

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