1 ETF performance must be shown based on both a market price and NAV basis. The fund’s per share 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

Marie Chandoha
President and CEO of
Charles Schwab Investment
Management, Inc. and the
funds covered in this report.
Dear Shareholder,
Investors’ ability to follow the investing principle “ignore the noise” was put to the test in February. Amid inflation fears and concerns about higher interest rates, stocks slid for two weeks, with some U.S. and European indices dropping around 10%. While markets largely recovered much of the lost ground by February’s end, the episode interrupted a long period of steady gains. No one can predict what comes next, of course, but we may continue to see increased market volatility—especially compared to the unusually low volatility of recent years.
During times of higher volatility, it can be tempting to veer from your financial plan. But split-second decisions can prove costly over time. Instead, we believe that now may be an opportune time to check in on your portfolio and evaluate whether your investments are still positioned to help you achieve your financial goals. When it comes to ETFs, that can include not only knowing that your provider is transparent and dedicated to keeping costs low, but also that it is committed to the business for the long haul. The ETF industry has grown rapidly in recent years with many new offerings, and it’s likely that some will not survive. In 2017, for instance, fund providers introduced 275 ETFs but also broke the record for ETF closures in a single year with 136.1 While ETFs close for a variety of reasons, some of the more common causes are lack of issuer support and lack of investor demand. Whatever the cause, an ETF closure tends to be bad for investors, as it can lead to surprise taxes and gains or losses.
At Charles Schwab Investment Management, we are selective in which ETFs we choose to launch and make a commitment to the ongoing support of every ETF we introduce. We work hard to help our investors build better portfolios, and that starts with providing funds that can help form a solid foundation. We have a quarter-century of experience managing index investments and more than $170 billion under management in our index mutual funds and ETFs—all while offering some of the lowest expenses available in the industry today.
We’re here to serve our investors over the long-term—with funds that can simplify your investment decisions and help you implement your financial plan. We appreciate that you have chosen Charles Schwab Investment Management, and we look forward to continuing to help you achieve your financial goals.

The Investment Environment

Over the six-month reporting period ended February 28, 2018, international equity markets continued their upward trajectory and posted strong returns, despite a global stock market pullback in early February and subsequent market volatility. Accommodative central bank policies combined with a strengthening global economy drove equity performance for most of the reporting period, while fears of rising inflation were a large contributor to February’s drop. Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar generally weakened against a basket of currencies over the reporting period, enhancing returns on overseas investments in U.S. dollar terms. In this environment, the MSCI EAFE® Index (Net)*, a broad measure of developed international equity performance, returned 7.12%, while the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net)* returned 10.58%. By comparison, in the U.S., the S&P 500® Index, a bellwether for the overall U.S. stock market, returned 10.84% for the reporting period.
Economies across the globe strengthened over the six-month reporting period, with global economic growth synchronizing for the first time in ten years. In the eurozone, consumer confidence reached a near all-time high in January amid rebounding consumer spending and business investment, as well as an overall brighter economic outlook. Eurozone inflation remained at modest levels, lending conditions improved, and a solid rise in the Purchasing Managers Index in January signaled continued expansion in manufacturing and service activity. Germany led the eurozone in recovery and grew at its fastest pace in six years during 2017, driven by strong imports and exports and a bump in equipment investment. In Japan, increasing exports and rising consumption resulted in the eighth straight quarter of growth in the fourth quarter of 2017—the longest stretch in 28 years. Meanwhile, emerging-market economies benefitted from stabilizing commodity prices and fundamentals that continued to improve over the reporting period. Growth remained fairly robust in China, despite lingering concerns surrounding high debt levels taken on to maintain strong expansion, while slowing inflation and low interest rates helped Brazil to sustain its fragile economic recovery.

The Investment Environment (continued)

During the six-month reporting period, many central banks maintained generally accommodative monetary policies, although several took steps to reign in some stimulative measures. In Europe, the Bank of England raised interest rates in November for the first time in 10 years amid rising consumer prices, noting that another hike could come as soon as May 2018. The European Central Bank announced plans to maintain its bond buying program through at least September 2018 as inflation forecasts stayed below targeted levels, although it began scaling down purchases earlier this year. In Asia, the Bank of Japan left its monetary policy unchanged for the entirety of the reporting period, keeping interest rates negative and continuing to slowly reduce its bond buying as part of its yield curve management program. Meanwhile, the People’s Bank of China raised borrowing rates for banks and for its medium-term lending facility, and also kept liquidity stable by injecting money into the market through various monetary instruments.

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.
The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing cost (in dollars) of investing in a fund and to compare this cost with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds. These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested for six months beginning September 1, 2017 and held through February 28, 2018.
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 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 between Level 1 and Level 3 for the period ended February 28, 2018. Transfers from Level 1 to Level 3 were the result of fair valued securities for which no quoted market price was available. Transfers from Level 3 to Level 1 were the result of securities no longer being fair valued due to the availability of quoted market prices. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for the period ended February 28, 2018. Fund investments in underlying mutual funds are classified as Level 1, without consideration to the classification level of the investments held by the underlying mutual funds, which could be Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3.

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 between Level 1 and Level 3 for the period ended February 28, 2018. Transfers from Level 1 to Level 3 were the result of fair valued securities for which no quoted market price was available. Transfers from Level 3 to Level 1 were the result of securities no longer being fair valued due to the availability of quoted market prices. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for the period ended February 28, 2018. Fund investments in underlying mutual funds are classified as Level 1, without consideration to the classification level of the investments held by the underlying mutual funds, which could be Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3.

1. Business Structure of the Funds:
Each of the funds 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 operational 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 asset 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/or 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 funds 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 funds follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies. The accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
The funds may invest in certain other investment companies (underlying funds). For specific investments in underlying funds, please refer to the complete schedule of portfolio holdings on Form N-CSR(S) for this reporting period, which is filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). For more information about the underlying funds’ operations and policies, please refer to those funds’ semiannual and annual reports, which are filed with the 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 the mean of the most recent bid and ask quotes. Securities that are primarily traded on foreign exchanges are valued at the official closing price or the last sales price on the exchange where the securities are principally traded with these values then translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate, unless these securities are fair valued as discussed below.

Financial Notes, unaudited (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
•   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.
•   Bonds and notes: Fixed income investments are generally valued using an evaluated price at the mid-point of the bid/ask spread provided by an approved, independent pricing service (mid-price). To determine the evaluated mid-price, a pricing service may use a variety of techniques and inputs. Techniques may include, but are not limited to, spread models that calculate an investment-specific price relative to a benchmark or yield curve models that establish a price based on yields of comparable bonds along a range of maturities. Inputs differ by valuation approach and technique, as appropriate, and examples of inputs may include, but are not limited to, interest rates, market conditions, comparable bonds, market trades, projected cash flows, credit reviews and issuer news.
•   Futures contracts: Futures contracts are valued at their settlement prices as of the close of their exchanges.
•   Underlying funds: Mutual funds are valued at their respective NAVs.
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 significant inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). If inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. If the 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 1quoted prices in active markets for identical securitiesInvestments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equities and futures contracts. Investments in mutual funds are valued daily at their NAVs, which are classified as Level 1 prices, without consideration to the classification level of the specific investments held by an underlying fund.
•   Level 2other 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.
•   Level 3significant 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 February 28, 2018 are disclosed in the Condensed Portfolio Holdings.
(b) Accounting Policies for certain Portfolio Investments (if held):
Futures Contracts: Futures contracts are instruments that represent an agreement between two parties that obligates one party to buy, and the other party to sell, specific instruments at an agreed upon price on a stipulated future date. A fund must give the broker a deposit of cash and/or securities (initial margin) whenever it enters into a futures contract. The amount of the deposit may vary from one contract to another. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contract and are accounted for as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is closed, at which time the gains or losses are realized. Futures contracts are traded publicly on exchanges, and their market value may change daily.
Securities Lending: Under the trust’s Securities Lending Program, a fund (lender) may make short-term loans of its securities to another party (borrower) to generate additional revenue for the fund. The borrower pledges collateral in the form of cash, securities issued or fully guaranteed by the U.S. government or foreign governments, or letters of credit issued by a bank. Collateral at the individual loan level is required to be maintained on a daily marked-to-market basis in an amount at least equal to the current value of the securities loaned. The lending agent provides a fund with indemnification against borrower default (the borrower fails to return the security on loan) reducing the risk of loss as a result of default. The cash collateral of securities loaned is currently invested in money market portfolios operating under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. Each fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of cash collateral. The terms of the securities lending agreement allow the funds or the lending agent to terminate any loan at any given time and the securities must be returned within the earlier of the standard trade settlement period or the specified time period under the relevant securities lending agreement. Securities lending income, as disclosed in each fund’s Statement of Operations, if applicable, represents the income earned from the investment of the cash collateral plus any fees paid by borrowers, less the fees paid to the lending agent and broker rebates which are subject to adjustments pursuant to the securities lending agreement. On loans not collateralized by cash, a fee is received from the borrower, and is allocated between a fund and the lending agent. The aggregate market value of securities loaned will not at any time exceed one-third of the total assets of a fund, including collateral received from the loan. Total costs and expenses, including lending agent fees and broker rebates, associated with securities lending activities under the trust’s Securities Lending Program paid to the unaffiliated lending agent start at 10% of gross lending revenue, with subsequent breakpoints to a low of 7.5%.
As of February 28, 2018, the funds had securities on loan, all of which were classified as common stocks. The value of the securities on loan and the related collateral as of February 28, 2018, if any, are disclosed in each fund’s Condensed Portfolio Holdings. The value of the securities on loan and the investment of cash collateral are also disclosed in each fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(c) Security Transactions:
Security transactions are recorded as of the date the order to buy or sell the security is executed. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are based on the identified costs of the securities involved.
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are reported in U.S. dollars. For assets and liabilities held on a given date, the dollar value is based on market exchange rates in effect on that date. Transactions involving foreign currencies, including purchases, sales, income receipts and expense payments, are calculated using exchange rates in effect on the transaction date. Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the recorded amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange appreciation or depreciation arises 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.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
When a fund closes out a futures contract position, it calculates the difference between the value of the position at the beginning and at the end of the contract, and records a realized gain or loss accordingly.
(d) Investment Income:
Interest income is recorded as it accrues. Dividends and distributions from portfolio securities and underlying funds are recorded on the date they are effective (the ex-dividend date), although the 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.
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 rate 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.
In 2015, the funds filed claims to recover taxes previously withheld in certain European Union countries on the basis that those countries had purportedly violated certain provisions in the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. These filings are subject to various administrative and judicial proceedings within these countries, and all professional fees associated with these filings have been paid by the investment adviser.
(e) Expenses:
Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement (Advisory 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 taxes, any brokerage expenses, and extraordinary or non-routine expenses. 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 under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Accordingly, the funds distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to their respective shareholders each year. As long as a fund meets the tax requirements, it is not required to pay federal income tax.
(i) Foreign Taxes:
The funds may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, corporate events, foreign currency exchanges and capital gains on investments. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in foreign markets in which the funds invest. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the funds and are disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Foreign taxes payable as of February 28, 2018, if any, are reflected in each fund’s Statement 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.
Market Risk. Financial markets rise and fall in response to a variety of factors, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of an investment in a fund will fluctuate, which means that an investor could lose money over short or long periods.
Investment Style Risk. The funds are not actively managed. Therefore, each fund follows the securities included in its respective 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 the funds’ expenses, the funds’ performance may be below that of their respective index.
Equity Risk. The prices of equity securities rise and fall daily. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, industries or the securities market as a whole. In addition, equity markets tend to move in cycles which may cause stock prices to fall over short or extended periods of time.
Market Capitalization Risk. Securities issued by companies of different market capitalizations tend to go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. During a period when securities of a particular market capitalization fall behind other types of investments, a fund’s performance could be impacted.
Large-Cap Company Risk. Certain funds invest in large-cap company stocks. Large-cap companies are generally more mature and the securities issued by these companies may not be able to reach the same levels of growth as the securities issued by small- or mid-cap companies.
Mid-Cap Company Risk. Certain funds invest in mid-cap company stocks. Mid-cap companies may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies and the value of securities issued by these companies may move sharply.
Small-Cap Company Risk. Certain funds invest in small-cap company stocks. Securities issued by small-cap companies may be riskier than those issued by larger companies, and their prices may move sharply, especially during market upturns and downturns.
Foreign Investment Risk. 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); the imposition of economic sanctions or other government restrictions; differing accounting, auditing, financial reporting and legal standards and practices; differing securities market structures; and higher transaction costs. These risks may negatively impact the value or liquidity of a fund’s investments, and could impair the fund’s ability to meet its investment objective or invest in accordance with its investment strategy. There is a risk that investments in securities denominated in, and/or receiving revenues in, foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar. Foreign securities also include American Depositary receipts (ADRs), Global Depositary receipts (GDRs), and European Depositary receipts (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. To the extent a fund’s investments in a single country or a limited number of countries represent a large percentage of the fund’s assets, the fund’s performance may be adversely affected by the economic, political, regulatory and social conditions in those countries and the fund’s price may be more volatile than the price of a fund that is geographically diversified.
Emerging Markets Risk. Certain funds invest in emerging markets. Emerging market countries may be more likely to experience political turmoil or rapid changes in market or economic conditions than more developed countries. Emerging market countries often have less uniformity in accounting and reporting requirements and greater risk associated with the custody of securities. In addition, the financial stability of issuers (including governments) in emerging market countries may be more precarious than in developed countries. As a result, there may be an increased risk of 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, and, at times, it may be difficult to value such investments.
Sampling Index Tracking Risk. Each fund uses statistical sampling techniques, and as a result, a fund may not fully replicate its respective index and may hold securities not included in the index. As a result, a fund is subject to the risk that the investment adviser’s investment management strategy, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results. Because each fund utilizes a sampling approach, it may not track the return of its respective index as well as it would if a fund purchased all of the securities in its index.

3. Risk Factors (continued):
Tracking Error Risk. As index funds, each fund seeks to track the performance of its respective index, although it may not be successful in doing so. The divergence between the performance of a fund and the index, positive or negative, is called “tracking error.” Tracking error can be caused by many factors and it may be significant.
Derivatives Risk. 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 gains. A fund’s use of derivatives could reduce the fund’s performance, increase the fund’s volatility, and cause the fund to lose more than the initial amount invested. Furthermore, the use of derivatives subject to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) could cause the fund to become a commodity pool, which would require the fund to comply with certain CFTC rules.
Liquidity Risk. A fund may be unable to sell certain securities, such as illiquid securities, readily at a favorable time or price, or the fund may have to sell them at a loss.
Securities Lending Risk. Securities lending involves the risk of loss of rights in, or delay in recovery of, the loaned securities if the borrower fails to return the security loaned or becomes insolvent.
Concentration Risk. 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 vulnerable to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory occurrences affecting that market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class.
Market Trading Risk. 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.
Shares of the Fund May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. 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. An investor may pay more than NAV when buying shares of a fund in the secondary market, and an investor may receive less than NAV when selling those shares in the secondary market. The market price of the fund shares may deviate, sometimes significantly, from NAV during periods of market volatility or as a result of other factors impacting foreign securities, including liquidity, irregular trading activity and timing differences between foreign markets where securities trade and the secondary market where fund shares are sold.
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:
Investment Adviser
CSIM, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Charles Schwab Corporation, serves as each fund’s investment adviser pursuant to the 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:

Interfund Transactions
The funds may engage in direct transactions with certain other Schwab funds when practical. When one fund is seeking to sell a security that another is seeking to buy, an interfund transaction can allow both funds to benefit by reducing transaction costs. This practice is limited to funds that share the same investment adviser, trustees and/or officers. For the period ended February 28, 2018, each fund’s total aggregate security transactions with other Schwab funds as well as any realized gains (losses) were as follows:
  Total Aggregate Transactions Realized Gains (Losses)
Schwab International Equity ETF $— $—
Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF
Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF 39,813,722 (8,473,620)
Interfund Borrowing and Lending
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the funds may enter into interfund borrowing and lending transactions with other funds in the Fund Complex (for definition refer to Trustees and Officers section). All loans are for temporary or emergency purposes and the interest rate to be charged will be the average of the overnight repurchase agreement rate and the short-term bank loan rate. All loans are subject to numerous conditions designed to ensure fair and equitable treatment of all participating funds/portfolios. 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.
Other Affiliated Transactions
The professional fees related to foreign withholding tax claims discussed in financial note 2 were non-routine expenses. However, the investment adviser agreed to pay these professional fees for this reporting period, subject to reimbursement by the funds to the extent the funds are able to successfully recover taxes withheld in the future.

Schwab International Equity ETFs  |  Semiannual Report

 

Schwab International Equity ETFs
Financial Notes, unaudited (continued)

4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions (continued):
As of February 28, 2018, the balance of professional fees related to foreign withholding tax subject to future reimbursement by the fund to the investment adviser was $98,284 for Schwab International Equity ETF and $2,090 for Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF, respectively. There was no balance of professional fees related to foreign withholding tax subject to future reimbursement by the investment adviser for Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF as of February 28, 2018.
No other amounts for additional tax reclaims are reflected in the financial statements due to the uncertainty surrounding the ultimate resolution of proceedings, the likelihood of receipt of these claims, and the potential timing of payment.

    
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 CSIM or its affiliates. Federal securities law limits the percentage of such “interested persons” who may serve on a trust’s board, and the trust was in compliance with these limitations throughout the report period. The trust does not pay any interested or non-interested trustees (independent trustees). The independent trustees are paid by CSIM. For information regarding the trustees, please refer to the Trustees and Officers table at the end of this report.

    
7. Borrowing from Banks:
During the period, the funds were participants with other U.S. registered investment companies managed by CSIM in a joint, syndicated, committed $555 million line of credit (the Syndicated Credit Facility), which matured on October 5, 2017. On October 5, 2017, the Syndicated Credit Facility was amended to run for a new 364 day period with an increased line of $605 million. Under the terms of the Syndicated Credit Facility, in addition to the interest charged on any borrowings by a fund, CSIM paid a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum on its proportionate share of the unused portion of the Syndicated Credit Facility. Where applicable, CSIM paid the commitment fees and any interest expense charged on any borrowings by a fund, since these expenses are now included in the advisory fee.
On December 1, 2017, the funds became participants with other U.S. registered investment companies managed by CSIM in a joint, unsecured, uncommitted $500 million line of credit (the Uncommitted Credit Facility), with State Street Bank and Trust Company, which terminates on November 30, 2018. Under the terms of the Uncommitted Credit Facility, CSIM pays interest on the amount of any fund borrowings. There were no borrowings from either line of credit during the period.
The funds also have access to custodian overdraft facilities. A fund may have utilized the overdraft facility and incurred an interest expense. Where applicable, CSIM paid any interest expense charged. The interest expense is determined based on a negotiated rate above the current Federal Funds Rate.

    
8. Derivatives:
Certain funds entered into equity index futures contracts during the report period. The funds invested in futures contracts to equitize available cash. The current value and variation margin for futures contracts held at February 28, 2018 are presented on the Condensed Portfolio Holdings and Statement of Assets and Liabilities, respectively. The net realized and change in unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts are presented on the Statement of Operations. Refer to financial note 2(b) for the funds’ accounting

Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF 780,763,013 357,714,873

    
10. In-Kind Transactions:
The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a fund often 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, CSIM may cover the cost of any transaction fees when believed to be in the best interests of a fund.
The in-kind transactions for the period ended February 28, 2018, were as follows:
  In-Kind Purchases
of Securities
In-Kind Sales
of Securities
Schwab International Equity ETF $2,517,431,571 $—
Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF 316,954,432 49,031,473
Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF 277,908,949
For the period ended February 28, 2018, where applicable, 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 February 28, 2018 are disclosed in the funds’ Statements of Operations, if any.

As of August 31, 2017, management has reviewed the tax positions for open periods (for federal purposes, three years from the date of filing and for state purposes, four years from the date of filing) as applicable to the funds, and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the funds’ financial statements. The funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period ended August 31, 2017, the funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

bid  The highest price at which someone is willing to buy a security.
Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index  An index that represents securities that are SEC registered, taxable, and dollar denominated. The index covers the U.S. investment grade fixed rate bond market, with index components for government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities, and asset-backed securities.

Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury Bills 1 – 3 Month Index  An index that includes all publicly issued zero-coupon U.S. Treasury Bills that have a remaining maturity of less than 3 months but more than 1 month, are rated investment grade and have $250 million or more of outstanding face value. It excludes zero-coupon STRIPS.
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.

The Net version of the index reflects reinvested dividends net of withholding taxes, but reflects no deductions for expenses or other taxes.
FTSE Developed Small Cap ex US Liquid Index (Net)  An index comprised of small-cap companies in developed countries, excluding the United States, as defined by the index provider. The index defines the small-cap universe as approximately the bottom 10% of the eligible universe with a minimum free float capitalization of $150 million.

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 Index (Net)  A free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets in Europe, Australasia, and the Far East. The Net version of the index reflects reinvested dividends net of withholding taxes, but reflects no deductions for expenses or other taxes; returns are calculated applying dividend withholding rates applicable to non-resident persons who do not benefit from double taxation treaties.
MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net)  A free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure equity market performance in the global emerging markets. This series approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment. The returns are calculated applying dividend withholding rates applicable to non-resident persons who do not benefit from double taxation treaties.
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.

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

primary market  The market that deals with the issuance of new securities.
rights and warrants  Rights and warrants are types of securities that entitle the holder to purchase a proportionate amount of common stock at a specified price for a specific period of time. Rights allow a shareholder to buy more shares directly from the company, usually at a
price somewhat lower than the current market price of the outstanding shares. Warrants are usually issued with bonds and preferred stock. Rights and warrants can trade on the market separately from the company’s stock. The prices of rights and warrants do not necessarily move parallel to the prices of the underlying common stock. Rights usually expire within a few weeks of issuance, while warrants may not expire for several years. If a right or warrant is not exercised within the specified time period, it will become worthless and a fund will lose the purchase price it paid for the right or warrant and the right to purchase the underlying security.
Russell 2000 Index  An index that measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index. The Russell 3000 Index measures the performance of the largest 3,000 U.S. companies representing approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market.
S&P 500 Index  An index that is designed to measure the performance of 500 leading publicly traded companies from a broad range of industries.
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 total returns 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 cannot be invested in directly. Performance results less than one year are not annualized.
For index definitions, please see the Glossary.
Performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the redemption or sale of fund shares.
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 returns shown are since the fund’s inception date of October 11, 2017.
1 ETF performance must be shown based on both a market price and NAV basis. The fund’s per share 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

Marie Chandoha
President and CEO of
Charles Schwab Investment
Management, Inc. and the
funds covered in this report.
Dear Shareholder,
Investors’ ability to follow the investing principle “ignore the noise” was put to the test in February. Amid inflation fears and concerns about higher interest rates, stocks slid for two weeks, with some U.S. and European indices dropping around 10%. While markets recovered much of the lost ground by February’s end, the episode interrupted a long period of steady gains. No one can predict what comes next, of course, but we may continue to see increased market volatility—especially compared to the unusually low volatility of recent years.
During times of higher volatility, it can be tempting to veer from your financial plan. But split-second decisions can prove costly over time. Instead, we believe that now may be an opportune time to check in on your portfolio and evaluate whether your investments are still positioned to help you achieve your financial goals. When it comes to ETFs, that can include not only knowing that your provider is transparent and dedicated to keeping costs low, but also that it is committed to the business for the long haul. The ETF industry has grown rapidly in recent years with many new offerings, and it’s likely that some will not survive. In 2017, for instance, fund providers introduced 275 ETFs but also broke the record for ETF closures in a single year with 136.1 While ETFs close for a variety of reasons, some of the most common causes are lack of issuer support and lack of investor demand. Whatever the cause, an ETF closure tends to be bad for investors, as it can lead to surprise taxes and gains or losses.
At Charles Schwab Investment Management, we work hard to help our investors build better portfolios, and that starts with providing funds that help form a solid foundation. We have a quarter-century of experience managing index investments and more than $170 billion under management in our index mutual funds and ETFs—all while offering some of the lowest expenses available in the industry today.
When we introduce a new ETF, we select the underlying index carefully and make a commitment to support the new fund. This past October, we launched the Schwab 1000 Index® ETF. The fund tracks the performance of the Schwab 1000 Index®, which Charles Schwab launched back in 1991 to track the long-term growth potential of the largest 1,000 publicly-traded U.S. companies. The new ETF gives investors this broad equity exposure at the same low five basis point expense ratio as the Schwab 1000 Index® mutual fund.

Schwab U.S. Equity ETFs
The Investment Environment

Over the six-month reporting period ended February 28, 2018, U.S. equity markets generated strong returns despite a global stock market pullback in early February. Strong global growth, expectations for policy changes in Washington, and solid corporate earnings drove gains through the first five months of the reporting period, while fears of an overheating economy and rising inflation were large contributors to February’s drop. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve (Fed) continued taking steps toward more normalized monetary policy, beginning the process of shrinking the size of its balance sheet in October and raising short-term interest rates in December. In this environment, the S&P 500® Index, a bellwether for the overall U.S. stock market, returned 10.84% for the reporting period, while the Dow Jones U.S. Mid-Cap Total Stock Market Index and the Russell 2000® Index returned 9.16% and 8.30%, respectively. Outside the U.S., the MSCI EAFE® Index (Net)*, a broad measure of developed international equity performance, returned 7.12%, while the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net)* returned 10.58%.
U.S. stock markets rose over most of the reporting period, with several reaching record highs multiple times. A healthy U.S. economy, accompanied by solid and synchronized economic growth by the rest of the world’s economies, played a role in this performance, as did strong corporate earnings and optimism for potential tax cuts from the Trump administration. The U.S. labor market remained tight with low unemployment and a near 45-year low jobless rate, and hourly wage growth rose slightly. The passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in late 2017 propelled U.S. stock markets even further, as did robust year-over-year corporate earnings. However, markets abruptly switched directions in early February and volatility spiked. Equity indices in both the U.S. and abroad dropped sharply amid concerns that quickly rising inflation would result in central banks increasing short-term interest rates faster than expected. In the U.S., both the S&P 500® Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average® (a price-weighted measure of 30 U.S. blue-chip companies) dropped more than 10% from their January record highs in the second week of February, and officially entered correction territory. Stocks rose and fell again during the remaining weeks of the reporting period, marking the return of heightened market volatility.

The Investment Environment (continued)

The U.S. economy continued to improve over the six-month reporting period, as did many other economies around the globe. U.S. nonfarm payroll numbers measured near expectations most months and consumer sentiment remained at high levels, despite falling slightly in the second half of the reporting period. Gross domestic product (GDP) came in at 2.6% in the fourth quarter of 2017 and increased to 2.3% for all of 2017 (compared to 1.5% in 2016)1, and economic fundamentals, including corporate profits, were strong throughout the reporting period. Outside the U.S., a recovering labor market, strong exports, and continued accommodative monetary policies contributed to strengthening GDP numbers for the eurozone, with notable gains from Germany and France. Increasing exports and rising consumption resulted in eight straight quarters of growth for Japan by the end of the fourth quarter of 2017, the country’s longest stretch of growth in 28 years.
Over the six-month reporting period, the Fed continued to tighten U.S. monetary policy. After announcing plans earlier in 2017 to begin reducing the size of its approximately $4.5 trillion balance sheet, the Fed followed through with these plans in October by allowing securities to mature without reinvesting the proceeds. The Fed also continued the process of normalizing short-term interest rates over the reporting period. Signaling continued confidence in the global recovery, the Fed raised the federal funds rate by 0.25% in December to a range of 1.25% to 1.50%. This increase was generally anticipated, and as of the end of the reporting period, market expectations were for approximately three short-term interest rate hikes in 2018. The minutes from the Fed’s January meeting provided support for these expectations, indicating that “substantial underlying economic momentum,” combined with factors such as tax cuts and a positive global outlook, could sustain additional short-term interest rate increases this year.
From a sector perspective, Information Technology and Financials companies were the top performers, supported by strong corporate earnings and synchronized global growth. By comparison, the Utilities and Real Estate sectors underperformed for the reporting period, due in large part to the decreasing appeal of dividend-paying stocks in a rising interest rate environment.

1 Performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the redemption or sale of fund shares.
2 ETF performance must be shown based on both a market price and NAV basis. The fund’s per share 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.

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.
The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing cost (in dollars) of investing in a fund and to compare this cost with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds. These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested for six months beginning September 1, 2017 and held through February 28, 2018.
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 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.

1. Business Structure of the Funds:
Each of the funds 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 operational 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 asset 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/or 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 funds 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).
The Schwab 1000 Index ETF commenced operations on October 11, 2017.
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 funds follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies. The accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
The funds may invest in certain other investment companies (underlying funds). For specific investments in underlying funds, please refer to the complete schedule of portfolio holdings on Form N-CSR(S) for this reporting period, which is filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). For more information about the underlying funds’ operations and policies, please refer to those funds’ semiannual and annual reports, which are filed with the 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:

Schwab U.S. Equity ETFs
Financial Notes, unaudited (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
•   Securities traded on an exchange or over-the-counter: Traded securities are valued at the closing value for the day, or, on days when no closing value has been reported, at the mean of the most recent bid and ask quotes. Securities that are primarily traded on foreign exchanges are valued at the official closing price or the last sales price on the exchange where the securities are principally traded with these values then translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate, unless these securities are fair valued as discussed below.
•   Securities for which no quoted value is available: The Board has adopted procedures to fair value 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.
•   Futures contracts: Futures contracts are valued at their settlement prices as of the close of their exchanges.
•   Underlying funds: Mutual funds are valued at their respective NAVs.
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 significant inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). If inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. If the 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 1quoted prices in active markets for identical securitiesInvestments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equities and futures contracts. Investments in mutual funds are valued daily at their NAVs, which are classified as Level 1 prices, without consideration to the classification level of the specific investments held by an underlying fund.
•   Level 2other 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.
•   Level 3significant 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.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
The levels associated with valuing the funds’ investments as of February 28, 2018 are disclosed in the Condensed Portfolio Holdings.
(b) Accounting Policies for certain Portfolio Investments (if held):
Futures Contracts: Futures contracts are instruments that represent an agreement between two parties that obligates one party to buy, and the other party to sell, specific instruments at an agreed upon price on a stipulated future date. A fund must give the broker a deposit of cash and/or securities (initial margin) whenever it enters into a futures contract. The amount of the deposit may vary from one contract to another. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contract and are accounted for as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is closed, at which time the gains or losses are realized. Futures contracts are traded publicly on exchanges, and their market value may change daily.
Securities Lending: Under the trust’s Securities Lending Program, a fund (lender) may make short-term loans of its securities to another party (borrower) to generate additional revenue for the fund. The borrower pledges collateral in the form of cash, securities issued or fully guaranteed by the U.S. government or foreign governments, or letters of credit issued by a bank. Collateral at the individual loan level is required to be maintained on a daily marked-to-market basis in an amount at least equal to the current value of the securities loaned. The lending agent provides a fund with indemnification against borrower default (the borrower fails to return the security on loan) reducing the risk of loss as a result of default. The cash collateral of securities loaned is currently invested in money market portfolios operating under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. Each fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of cash collateral. The terms of the securities lending agreement allow the funds or the lending agent to terminate any loan at any given time and the securities must be returned within the earlier of the standard trade settlement period or the specified time period under the relevant securities lending agreement. Securities lending income, as disclosed in each fund’s Statement of Operations, if applicable, represents the income earned from the investment of the cash collateral plus any fees paid by borrowers, less the fees paid to the lending agent and broker rebates which are subject to adjustments pursuant to the securities lending agreement. On loans not collateralized by cash, a fee is received from the borrower, and is allocated between a fund and the lending agent. The aggregate market value of securities loaned will not at any time exceed one-third of the total assets of a fund, including collateral received from the loan. Total costs and expenses, including lending agent fees and broker rebates, associated with securities lending activities under the trust’s Securities Lending Program paid to the unaffiliated lending agent start at 10% of gross lending revenue, with subsequent breakpoints to a low of 7.5%.
As of February 28, 2018, the funds had securities on loan, all of which were classified as common stocks. The value of the securities on loan and the related collateral as of February 28, 2018, if any, are disclosed in each fund’s Condensed Portfolio Holdings. The value of the securities on loan and the investment of cash collateral are also disclosed in each fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(c) Security Transactions:
Security transactions are recorded as of the date the order to buy or sell the security is executed. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are based on the identified costs of the securities involved.
When a fund closes out a futures contract position, it calculates the difference between the value of the position at the beginning and at the end of the contract, and records a realized gain or loss accordingly.
(d) Investment Income:
Interest income is recorded as it accrues. Dividends and distributions from portfolio securities and underlying funds are recorded on the date they are effective (the ex-dividend date), although the 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 Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement (Advisory 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 taxes, any brokerage expenses, and extraordinary or non-routine expenses. Taxes, any brokerage expenses and extraordinary or non-routine expenses that are specific to a fund are charged directly to the fund.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
(f) Distributions to Shareholders:
The funds make distributions from net investment income, if any, 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.
(h) Federal Income Taxes:
The funds intend to meet federal income and excise tax requirements for regulated investment companies under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Accordingly, the funds distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net realized 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.
Market Risk. Financial markets rise and fall in response to a variety of factors, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of an investment in a fund will fluctuate, which means that an investor could lose money over short or long periods.
Investment Style Risk. The funds are not actively managed. Therefore, each fund follows the securities included in its respective 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 the funds’ expenses, the funds’ performance may be below that of their respective 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, the fund’s ability to generate income may be affected.
Equity Risk. The prices of equity securities rise and fall daily. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, industries or the securities market as a whole. In addition, equity markets tend to move in cycles which may cause stock prices to fall over short or extended periods of time.
Market Capitalization Risk. Securities issued by companies of different market capitalizations tend to go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. During a period when securities of a particular market capitalization fall behind other types of investments, a fund’s performance could be impacted.
Large-Cap Company Risk. Certain funds invest in large-cap company stocks. Large-cap companies are generally more mature and the securities issued by these companies may not be able to reach the same levels of growth as the securities issued by small- or mid-cap companies.
Mid-Cap Company Risk. Certain funds invest in mid-cap company stocks. Mid-cap companies may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies and the value of securities issued by these companies may move sharply.

Financial Notes, unaudited (continued)

3. Risk Factors (continued):
Small-Cap Company Risk. Certain funds invest in small-cap company stocks. Securities issued by small-cap companies may be riskier than those issued by larger companies, and their prices may move sharply, especially during market upturns and downturns.
Growth Investing Risk. 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.
Value Investing Risk. 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.
Sampling Index Tracking Risk. 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 investment 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 index.
Tracking Error Risk. As index funds, each fund seeks to track the performance of its respective index, although it may not be successful in doing so. The divergence between the performance of a fund and the index, positive or negative, is called “tracking error.” Tracking error can be caused by many factors and it may be significant.
Derivatives Risk. 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 gains. A fund’s use of derivatives could reduce the fund’s performance, increase the fund’s volatility, and cause the fund to lose more than the initial amount invested. Furthermore, the use of derivatives subject to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) could cause the fund to become a commodity pool, which would require the fund to comply with certain CFTC rules.
Liquidity Risk. A fund may be unable to sell certain securities, such as illiquid securities, readily at a favorable time or price, or the fund may have to sell them at a loss.
Securities Lending Risk. Securities lending involves the risk of loss of rights in, or delay in recovery of, the loaned securities if the borrower fails to return the security loaned or becomes insolvent.
Concentration Risk. 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 vulnerable to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory occurrences affecting that market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class.
Market Trading Risk. 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.
Shares of the Fund May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. 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. An investor may pay more than NAV when buying shares of a fund in the secondary market, and an investor may receive less than NAV when selling those shares in the secondary market. The market price of the fund shares may deviate, sometimes significantly, from NAV during periods of market volatility.
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 (continued):
Interfund Transactions
The funds may engage in direct transactions with certain other Schwab funds when practical. When one fund is seeking to sell a security that another is seeking to buy, an interfund transaction can allow both funds to benefit by reducing transaction costs. This practice is limited to funds that share the same investment adviser, trustees and/or officers. For the period ended February 28, 2018, each fund’s total aggregate security transactions with other Schwab funds as well as any realized gains (losses) were as follows:
  Total Aggregate Transactions Realized Gains (Losses)
Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF $51,413,424 ($5,327,255)
Schwab 1000 Index ETF
Schwab U.S. Large-Cap ETF 96,744,370 (10,093,031)
Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF 132,756,870 (21,126,339)
Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Value ETF 150,265,178 (9,923,111)
Schwab U.S. Mid-Cap ETF 150,385,410 (25,655,391)
Schwab U.S. Small-Cap ETF 186,954,436 (15,912,044)
Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF 31,139,213 (3,925,934)
Interfund Borrowing and Lending
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the funds may enter into interfund borrowing and lending transactions with other funds in the Fund Complex (for definition refer to Trustees and Officers section). All loans are for temporary or emergency purposes and the interest rate to be charged will be the average of the overnight repurchase agreement rate and the short-term bank loan rate. All loans are subject to numerous conditions designed to ensure fair and equitable treatment of all participating funds/portfolios. 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 CSIM or its affiliates. Federal securities law limits the percentage of such “interested persons” who may serve on a trust’s board, and the trust was in compliance with these limitations throughout the report period. The trust does not pay any interested or non-interested trustees (independent trustees). The independent trustees are paid by CSIM. For information regarding the trustees, please refer to the Trustees and Officers table at the end of this report.

    
7. Borrowing from Banks:
During the period, all the funds except for Schwab 1000 Index ETF were participants with other U.S. registered investment companies managed by CSIM in a joint, syndicated, committed $555 million line of credit (the Syndicated Credit Facility), which matured on October 5, 2017. On October 5, 2017, all funds became participants in an amended Syndicated Credit Facility to run for a new 364 day period with an increased line of $605 million. Under the terms of the Syndicated Credit Facility, in addition to the interest charged on any borrowings by a fund, CSIM paid a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum on its proportionate share of the unused portion of the Syndicated Credit Facility. Where applicable, CSIM paid the commitment fees and any interest expense charged on any borrowings by a fund, since these expenses are now included in the advisory fee.

7. Borrowing from Banks (continued):
On December 1, 2017, the funds became participants with other U.S. registered investment companies managed by CSIM in a joint, unsecured, uncommitted $500 million line of credit (the Uncommitted Credit Facility), with State Street Bank and Trust Company, which terminates on November 30, 2018. Under the terms of the Uncommitted Credit Facility, CSIM pays interest on the amount of any fund borrowings. There were no borrowings from either line of credit during the period.
The funds also have access to custodian overdraft facilities. A fund may have utilized the overdraft facility and incurred an interest expense.

10. In-Kind Transactions:
The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a fund often 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

10. In-Kind Transactions (continued):
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, CSIM may cover the cost of any transaction fees when believed to be in the best interests of a fund.

Because such gains or losses are not taxable to the funds and are not distributed to existing fund shareholders, the gains or losses are reclassified from accumulated net realized gains or losses to capital received from investors at the end of the funds’ tax year. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. The net realized in-kind gains or losses for the period ended February 28, 2018 are disclosed in the funds’ Statements of Operations, if any.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval

The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) requires that initial approval of, as well as the continuation of, a fund’s investment advisory agreement must be specifically approved (1) by the vote of the trustees or by a vote of the shareholders of the fund, and (2) by the vote of a majority of the trustees who are not parties to the investment advisory agreement or “interested persons” of any party (the Independent Trustees), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. In connection with such approvals, the fund’s trustees must request and evaluate, and the investment adviser is required to furnish, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the investment advisory agreement.
Initial Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement
The Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees, as appropriate) called and held a meeting on September 19, 2017, in part, for the purpose of considering whether to appoint Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM) as investment adviser to Schwab 1000 Index ETF (the Fund) under the investment advisory agreement between Schwab Strategic Trust (the Trust) and CSIM (the Agreement). In preparation for the meeting, the Board requested and reviewed a wide variety of materials provided by CSIM, including information about affiliates, personnel, business goals and priorities, profitability, third-party oversight, corporate structure and operations. The Board also receives data provided by an independent accounting firm. In recognition of the fact that the Fund had not yet commenced operations, the Board also considered information provided by CSIM in connection with the Board’s consideration of approval of the investment advisory agreement with respect to the other funds within the Trust. The Board also took into account the detailed information about other funds within the Trust that the Board reviews during the course of each year, including information that relates to fund operations and fund performance. In addition, the Independent Trustees meet in executive session outside the presence of fund management and participate in question and answer sessions with representatives of CSIM.
The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees approved the Agreement with respect to the Fund. The Board’s approval was based on consideration and evaluation of a variety of specific factors discussed at this meeting, including:
1. the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund under the Agreement, including the resources of CSIM and its affiliates to be dedicated to the Fund;
2. CSIM’s investment performance in managing other funds having relevant investment objectives and strategies;
3. the Fund’s estimated expenses and how those expenses compared to those of certain other comparable exchange-traded funds;
4. the profitability of CSIM and its affiliates, including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (Schwab), with respect to management of other funds, including both direct and indirect benefits accruing to CSIM and its affiliates; and
5. the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels in the Agreement relating to the Fund reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by CSIM to the Fund and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates will dedicate to the Fund. In this regard, the Trustees evaluated, among other things, CSIM’s experience, track record, compliance program, resources dedicated to hiring and retaining qualified personnel, and information security resources. The Trustees also considered information provided by CSIM relating to the Fund’s portfolio management team, portfolio strategy and risk oversight structure, and internal investment guidelines. The Trustees also considered investments in CSIM’s infrastructure. The Trustees also considered Schwab’s reputation as a full service brokerage firm and its overall financial condition. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by CSIM to the Fund and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund supported approval of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.
Performance. With regard to Fund performance, since the Fund had not commenced operations and therefore did not have any performance of its own, the Board considered performance of other funds having comparable investment objectives in determining whether to approve the Agreement. The Trustees also considered the risk profile for the Fund and the appropriateness of the benchmark that would be used to compare the performance of the Fund. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the performance of CSIM supported approval of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.
Fund Expenses. With respect to the Fund’s expenses, the Trustees considered the rate of compensation called for by the Agreement, and the Fund’s estimated net operating expense ratio in comparison to those of other comparable exchange-traded funds. The Board evaluated the Fund’s unitary fee through review of comparative information with respect to fees paid by similar exchange-traded funds tracking equity indexes. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the
 
 
91
Schwab U.S. Equity ETFs  |  Semiannual Report

 

Schwab U.S. Equity ETFs
expenses of the Fund are reasonable and supported approval of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.
Profitability. With regard to profitability, the Trustees considered the compensation flowing to CSIM and its affiliates directly or indirectly, and reviewed profitability on a pre-tax basis, without regard to distribution expenses. The Trustees also considered any other potential benefits to be derived by CSIM from its relationship with the Fund, such as whether, by virtue of its management of the Fund, CSIM obtains investment information or other research resources that aid it in providing advisory services to other clients. The Trustees considered whether the varied levels of compensation and profitability under the Agreement and other service agreements were reasonable and justified in light of the quality of all services to be rendered to the Fund by CSIM and its affiliates. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the expected profitability of CSIM, albeit uncertain, is reasonable and supported approval of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.
Economies of Scale. Recognizing that the Fund had not yet commenced operations and had no assets, the Trustees
considered the possible development of any economies of scale and whether those could be expected to be passed along to the Fund’s shareholders through various efficiencies that may result from increases in the Fund’s assets. The Board determined that such economies of scale will be shared by way of the relatively low advisory fee and unitary fee structure of the Fund, although the Board will continue to monitor fees as the Fund grows in size and assess whether breakpoints may be warranted. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the Fund may be expected to obtain reasonable benefit from economies of scale if such economies develop.
In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information or factor that was all important or controlling. Based on the Trustees’ deliberation and their evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the Agreement as it relates to the Fund and concluded that the compensation under the Agreement relating to the Fund is fair and reasonable in light of such services and expenses and such other matters as the Trustees have considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment.

Schwab U.S. Equity ETFs
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 Index (Net)  A free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets in Europe, Australasia, and the Far East. The Net version of the index reflects reinvested dividends net of withholding taxes, but reflects no deductions for expenses or other taxes; returns are calculated applying dividend withholding rates applicable to non-resident persons who do not benefit from double taxation treaties.
MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net)  A free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure equity market performance in the global emerging markets. This series approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment. The returns are calculated applying dividend withholding rates applicable to non-resident persons who do not benefit from double taxation treaties.
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.
rights and warrants  Rights and warrants are types of securities that entitle the holder to purchase a proportionate amount of common stock at a specified price for a specific period of time. Rights allow a shareholder to buy more shares directly from the company, usually at a price somewhat lower than the current market price of the outstanding shares. Warrants are usually issued with bonds and preferred stock. Rights and warrants can trade on the market separately from the company’s stock. The prices of rights and warrants do not necessarily move parallel to the prices of the underlying common stock. Rights usually expire within a few weeks of issuance, while warrants may not expire for several years. If a right or warrant is not exercised within the specified time period, it will become worthless and a fund will lose the purchase price it paid for the right or warrant and the right to purchase the underlying security.
Russell 1000 Index  An index that measures the performance of the 1,000 largest companies in the Russell 3000 Index, and represents approximately 92% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000 Index. The Russell 3000 Index measures the performance of the largest 3,000 U.S. companies representing approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market.
Russell 2000 Index  An index that measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index. The Russell 3000 Index measures the performance of the largest 3,000 U.S. companies representing approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market.
S&P 500 Index  An index that is designed to measure the performance of 500 leading publicly traded companies from a broad range of industries.
Schwab 1000 Index  An index that represents the performance of the largest 1,000 publicly traded companies in the United States. As a result of corporate actions, the index may be comprised of more or less than 1,000 securities.
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.
