* Effective February 28, 2013, the fund changed its comparative index, for purposes of performance calculation, from MSCI EAFE Index (Gross) to MSCI EAFE Index (Net). The net version of the index more accurately reflects how dividends paid to the fund on its foreign securities are treated for tax purposes and provides a better basis for comparing the fund’s performance. The net version of the index reflects reinvested dividends net of withholding taxes, but reflects no deductions for expenses or other taxes.

From the President
 

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

 
Dear Shareholder,
 
As President and CEO of Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc., I’d like to thank you for trusting us to help you meet your investment goals, and for reading this annual report concerning the Schwab Equity Index Funds. Each fund employs an indexing strategy to track the performance of a particular stock market benchmark, seeking returns by modeling its portfolios according to the benchmark index.
 
Turning to the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, the funds generated returns that were generally aligned with their respective indices, and reflected a strong rally by stocks. The backdrop for these performances included Federal Reserve focus on keeping interest rates low through a policy of quantitative easing to stimulate the U.S. economy. Equities generally benefitted from this accommodative monetary policy stance. However, signs of economic improvement in the U.S. led the Fed to initially consider “tapering” this stimulus program. Long-term interest rates rose in response, and stocks traditionally known for paying high dividends underperformed. In spite of expectations to the contrary, the Fed’s anticipated tapering never materialized. This generally benefitted stocks and helped the market overcome uncertainty regarding a brief U.S. federal government shutdown and budgetary gridlock. Reflecting this environment, the S&P 500 Index returned 27.2% for the reporting period.
 
Equities in developed markets also performed well. Pockets of economic improvement in some countries, combined with low interest rates in many

Schwab® S&P 500 Index Fund
 
 
The Schwab S&P 500 Index Fund (the fund) seeks to track the total return of the S&P 500 Index (the index), which includes the stocks of 500 leading U.S. publicly traded companies from a broad range of industries. To pursue its investment objective, the fund uses a replication investment approach and generally gives the same weight to a given stock as does the index. For more information concerning the fund’s investment objective, strategies, and risks, please see the fund’s prospectus.
 
The fund returned 27.06% for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2013, compared with the index, which returned 27.18%. Differences between the return of the fund and the return of the index may be attributable to, among other things, the operational and transactional costs incurred by the fund and not the index.
 
Market Highlights. Large-cap U.S. stocks generated double-digit returns for the 12-month report period. The backdrop for these results included Federal Reserve efforts to keep interest rates low and speed up economic growth, making financing more affordable for businesses and households and generally supporting stocks. Relative stability in the euro zone was another positive factor.
 
Contributors and Detractors. The Financials sector was the biggest contributor to the fund’s total return. The large average weight of this sector reflected part of the reason for this contribution, with Financials stocks comprising approximately 16% of the fund. Financials stocks also performed well, returning approximately 32%, and reflecting the performance of companies involved in banking, diversified financial services, insurance, and real estate. One significant contributor in this sector was Berkshire Hathaway Inc., a holding company that owns subsidiaries in a variety of business sectors. The fund’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. holdings returned approximately 33%.
 
The Consumer Discretionary sector, which represented an average weight of nearly 12% of the fund, also provided a meaningful total return contribution. The fund’s Consumer Discretionary stocks returned approximately 40%, reflecting the overall performance of companies involved in automobiles and components, durable goods and apparel, consumer services, media, and retailing. One significant contributor in this sector was Amazon.com, Inc., an online retailer that offers a wide range of products. The fund’s Amazon.com, Inc. holdings returned approximately 56%.
 
The Telecommunication Services sector generated positive returns for the fund, but was among the weakest total return contributors. This sector represented an average weight of approximately 3% of the fund, and returned approximately 13%, reflecting the overall performance of companies involved in diversified and wireless telecommunication services. One significant detractor in this sector was CenturyLink Inc., an integrated communications company. The fund’s CenturyLink Inc. holdings returned approximately -6%.
 
The Utilities sector, which represented an average weight of approximately 3% of the fund, was another relatively weak contributor to the fund’s total return. The fund’s Utilities stocks returned approximately 10%, reflecting the overall performance of companies involved in gas, electric, and water utilities, as well as independent power production and energy trading. One significant detractor in this sector was Exelon Corporation, a utility services holding company. The fund’s Exelon Corporation holdings returned approximately -16%.

The Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund (the fund) seeks to track the total return of the Russell 2000 Index (the index), which is designed to measure the performance of the small-cap sector of the U.S. equity market. To pursue its goal, the fund uses a replication investment approach and generally gives the same weight to a given stock as does the index. For more information concerning the fund’s investment objective, strategies, and risks, please see the fund’s prospectus.
 
The fund returned 36.23% for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2013, compared with the index, which returned 36.28%.

In addition, the fund engaged in securities lending, which positively contributed to the fund’s performance versus the index.
 
Market Highlights. Small-cap U.S. stocks generated double-digit returns for the 12-month report period. The backdrop for these results included Federal Reserve efforts to keep interest rates low and speed up economic growth, making financing more affordable for businesses and households and generally supporting stocks. Relative stability in the euro zone was another positive factor.

Schwab Total Stock Market Index Fund®
 
 
The Schwab Total Stock Market Index Fund (the fund) seeks to track the total return of the entire U.S. stock market, as measured by the Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index (the index), which includes the stocks of all publicly traded companies headquartered in the U.S. for which pricing information is readily available. To pursue its investment objective, the funds use a sampling investment approach that involves investing in a representative sample of stocks with similar risk and return characteristics as the index, and maintains a tight allocation across all sectors, market capitalizations, and valuation measures compared with the index. For more information concerning the fund’s investment objective, strategies, and risks, please see the fund’s prospectus.
 
The fund returned 28.76% for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2013, compared with the index, which returned 28.86%. Differences between the return of the fund and the return of the index may be attributable to, among other things, the operational and transactional costs incurred by the fund and not the index.
 
Market Highlights. U.S. stocks generated double-digit returns for the 12-month report period. The backdrop for these results included Federal Reserve efforts to keep interest rates low and speed up economic growth, making financing more affordable for businesses and households, and generally supporting stocks. Relative stability in the euro zone was another positive factor.
 
Contributors and Detractors. The Financials sector was the biggest contributor to the fund’s total return. The large average weight of this sector reflected part of the reason for this contribution, with Financials stocks comprising approximately 17% of the fund. Financials stocks also performed well, returning approximately 30%, and reflecting the performance of companies involved in banking, diversified financial services, insurance, and real estate. One significant contributor in this sector was Berkshire Hathaway Inc., a holding company that owns subsidiaries in a variety of business sectors. The fund’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. holdings returned approximately 33%.
 
The Consumer Discretionary sector, which represented an average weight of approximately 13% of the fund, also provided a meaningful total return contribution. The fund’s Consumer Discretionary stocks returned approximately 41%, reflecting the overall performance of companies involved in automobiles and components, durable goods and apparel, consumer services, media, and retailing. One significant contributor in this sector was Amazon.com, Inc., an online retailer that offers a wide range of products. The fund’s Amazon.com, Inc. holdings returned approximately 56%.
 
The Telecommunication Services sector generated positive returns for the fund, but was the weakest total return contributor. This sector represented an average weight of approximately 3% of the fund, and returned approximately 15%, reflecting the overall performance of companies involved in diversified and wireless telecommunication services. One significant detractor in this sector was CenturyLink Inc., an integrated communications company. The fund’s CenturyLink Inc. holdings returned approximately -6%.
 
The Utilities sector, which represented an average weight of approximately 3% of the fund, was another relatively weak contributor to the fund’s total return. The fund’s Utilities stocks returned approximately 12%, reflecting the overall performance of companies involved in gas, electric, and water utilities, as well as independent power production and energy trading. One significant detractor in this sector was Exelon Corporation, a utility services holding company. The fund’s Exelon Corporation holdings returned approximately -16%.

Schwab International Index Fund®
 
 
The Schwab International Index Fund (the fund) seeks to track the performance of the MSCI EAFE Index (Net) (the index), which measures the total return of large, publicly traded non-U.S. companies from countries with developed equity markets outside of the U.S. To pursue its goal, the fund uses a replication investment approach and generally gives the same weight to a given stock as does the index. For more information concerning the fund’s investment objective, strategies, and risks, please see the fund’s prospectus.
 
The fund returned 26.40% for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2013, compared with the index, which returned 26.88%. Differences between the return of the fund and the return of the index may be attributable to, among other things, the operational and transactional costs incurred by the fund and not the index. In addition, timing differences in foreign exchange calculations detracted from the fund’s relative performance.*
 
Market Highlights. Stocks in developed international markets performed well, generating double-digit overall returns for the 12-month report period. Relative stability in the euro zone, some pockets of improvement in a few developed international economies, and central bank policies aimed at keeping interest rates low in many parts of the world were some of the factors supporting stocks, while major overseas currencies finished mixed versus the U.S. dollar.
 
Contributors and Detractors. Japanese stocks were the biggest contributors to the fund’s total return from a country perspective, and represented an average weight of approximately 21%. In U.S. dollar terms, the fund’s Japanese stocks returned approximately 34%. One significant contributor in this market was Toyota Motor Corporation, a passenger vehicle company. The fund’s Toyota Motor Corporation holdings returned approximately 71% in U.S. dollar terms.
 
U.K. stocks also provided a meaningful contribution to the fund’s total return, and represented an average weight of approximately 22%. In U.S. dollar terms, the fund’s U.K. stocks returned approximately 21%. One significant contributor in this market was Vodafone Group PLC, a mobile telecommunications company. The fund’s Vodafone Group PLC holdings returned approximately 41% in U.S. dollar terms.
 
Israeli stocks generated positive returns for the fund, but were the weakest total return contributors from a country perspective. These stocks represented an average weight of less than 1% of the fund, and in U.S. dollar terms, returned approximately 1%. One significant detractor in this market was Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., a global pharmaceutical company. The fund’s Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. holdings returned approximately -5% in U.S. dollar terms.
 
Stocks from New Zealand also contributed little to the fund’s total return, while performing well on an absolute basis. New Zealand stocks represented less than 1% of the fund, while returning approximately 24% in U.S. dollar terms. One of the weaker contributors in this market was Contact Energy Limited, a diversified and integrated energy company. The fund’s Contact Energy Limited holdings returned approximately 1%.

Foreign securities can involve risks such as political and economic instability and currency risk.
 
* Typically, the securities in the index are valued using foreign exchange rates obtained at the close of the London foreign currency exchange (11:00 AM EST). Securities in the fund, however, are valued using foreign exchange rates obtained at the close of the New York foreign currency exchange (4:00 PM EST). This difference in closing times can result in different foreign currency exchange rates between the two exchanges, and thus different foreign currency exchange rates used in the valuation of the index’s and fund’s securities.

1 Fund expenses may have been partially absorbed by CSIM and its affiliates. Without these reductions, the fund’s returns would have been lower. These returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.
2 On August 21, 2009, the Investor Share class and Select Share class were combined into a single class of shares of the fund. The performance history of the fund prior to August 21, 2009 is that of the fund’s former Select Shares.
3 Effective February 28, 2013, the fund changed its comparative index, for purposes of performance calculation, from MSCI EAFE Index (Gross) to MSCI EAFE Index (Net). The net version of the index more accurately reflects how dividends paid to the fund on its foreign securities are treated for tax purposes and provides a better basis for comparing the fund’s performance. The net version of the index reflects reinvested dividends net of withholding taxes, but reflects no deductions for expenses or other taxes.
4 The International Spliced Index is an internally calculated index, comprised of the Schwab International Index (the fund’s former comparative index) from inception of the fund until the close of business on December 20, 2011, the MSCI EAFE Index (Gross) from December 21, 2011 until the close of business on February 28, 2013, and the MSCI EAFE Index (Net) from March 1, 2013 forward.

Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
 
 Examples for a $1,000 Investment
 
As a fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, transfer agent and shareholder services fees, and other fund expenses.
 
The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing cost (in dollars) of investing in a fund and to compare this cost with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds. These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested for six months beginning May 1, 2013 and held through October 31, 2013.
 
Actual Return lines in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value ¸ $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”
 
Hypothetical Return lines in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed return of 5% per year before expenses. Because the return used is not an actual return, it may not be used to estimate the actual ending account value or expenses you paid for the period.
 
You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees. 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 out of Level 3 to Level 1 due to the result of fair valued securities for which no quoted value was available. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for the period ended October 31, 2013.

The fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 as of the beginning of the fiscal year. There were transfers out of Level 3 to Level 1 due to the result of fair valued securities for which no quoted value was available. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for the period ended October 31, 2013.

Each fund in this report offers one share class. Shares are bought and sold (subject to a redemption fee, see financial note 9) at closing net asset value per share (“NAV”), which is the price for all outstanding shares of a fund. Each share has a par value of 1/1,000 of a cent, and the funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”) may authorize the issuance of as many shares as necessary.
 
Each fund maintains its own account for purposes of holding assets and accounting, and is considered a separate entity for tax purposes. Within its account, each fund may also keep certain assets in segregated accounts, as required by securities law.
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
 
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies the funds use in their preparation of financial statements. The accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
 
For more information about the underlying funds’ operations and policies, please refer to those funds’ semiannual and annual reports, which are filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
 
(a) Security Valuation:
 
Under procedures approved by the Board, the investment adviser has formed a Pricing Committee to administer the pricing and valuation of portfolio securities and other assets and to ensure that prices used for internal purposes or provided by third parties reasonably reflect fair market value. Among other things, these procedures allow the funds to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers and other market sources to determine fair value.
 
The funds value the securities in their portfolios every business day. The funds use the following policies to value various types of securities:
 
  •  Securities traded on an exchange or over-the-counter: Traded securities are valued at the closing value for the day, or, on days when no closing value has been reported, at halfway between the most recent bid and ask quotes. Securities that are

Financial Notes (continued)
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
  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.
 
  •  Foreign equity security fair valuation: The Board has adopted procedures to fair value foreign equity securities that are traded in markets that close prior to the funds valuing their holdings. By fair valuing securities whose prices may have been affected by events occurring after the close of trading, each fund seeks to establish prices that investors might expect to realize upon the current sales of these securities. This methodology is designed to deter “arbitrage” market timers, who seek to exploit delays between the change in the value of a fund’s portfolio holdings and the NAV of the fund’s shares, and seeks to help ensure that the prices at which the fund’s shares are purchased and redeemed are fair and do not result in dilution of shareholder interest or other harm to shareholders. When fair value pricing is used at the open or close of a reporting period, it may cause a temporary divergence between the return of a fund and that of its comparative index or benchmark. The Board regularly reviews fair value determinations made by the funds pursuant to these procedures.
 
  •  Futures and forward foreign currency exchange contracts: Futures are valued at their settlement prices as of the close of their exchanges. Forwards are valued based on that day’s forward exchange rates or by using an interpolated forward exchange rate for contracts with interim settlement dates.
 
  •  Short-term securities (60 days or less to maturity): Short-term securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
 
  •  Underlying funds: Mutual funds are valued at their respective NAVs. Exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the official closing price, if applicable.
 
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). If inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. If the funds determine that either the volume and/or level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased (from normal conditions for that asset or liability) or price quotations or observable inputs are not associated with orderly transactions, increased analysis and management judgment will be required to estimate fair value.
 
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
 
  •  Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities — Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equities, ETFs and futures contracts. Investments in mutual funds are valued daily at their NAVs, and investments in ETFs are valued daily at the last reported sale price or the official closing price, which are classified as Level 1 prices.
 
  •  Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) — Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but whose values are

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
  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. In addition, international securities whose markets close hours before the funds value their holdings may require fair valuations due to significant movement in the U.S. markets occurring after the daily close of the foreign markets. The Board has approved a vendor that calculates fair valuations of international equity securities based on a number of factors that appear to correlate to the movements in the U.S. markets. As investments whose values are classified as Level 2 prices include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information.
 
  •  Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) — Investments whose values are classified as Level 3 prices have significant unobservable inputs, as they may trade infrequently or not at all. When observable prices are not available for these securities, the funds use one or more valuation techniques for which sufficient and reliable data is available. The inputs used by the funds in estimating the value of Level 3 prices may include the original transaction price, quoted prices for similar securities or assets in active markets, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows. Level 3 prices may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the funds in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the funds due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the funds’ results of operations.
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
 
The levels associated with valuing the funds’ investments as of October 31, 2013 are disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings.
 
(b) Accounting Policies for certain Portfolio Investments (if held):
 
Futures Contracts: Futures contracts are instruments that represent an agreement between two parties that obligates one party to buy, and the other party to sell, specific instruments at an agreed upon price on a stipulated future date. A fund must give the broker a deposit of cash and/or securities (initial margin) whenever it enters into the 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 gains or losses until the contract is closed, at which time the gains or losses are realized. Futures are traded publicly on exchanges, and their market value changes daily.
 
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: “Forwards”, as they are known, are contracts to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The value of the forwards is accounted for as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts settle, at which time the gains or losses are realized.
 
Securities Lending: Under the trusts’ Securities Lending Program, a fund (lender) may make short-term loans of its securities to another party (borrower) to generate additional revenue for the fund. The borrower pledges collateral in the form of cash, securities issued or fully guaranteed by the U.S. government or foreign governments, or letters of credit issued by a bank. Collateral at the individual loan level is required to have a value of at least 102% of the prior day’s market value of the loaned securities for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities and is marked to market daily. The lending agent provides the fund with indemnification against borrower default. The fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of cash collateral. The cash collateral of securities loaned is invested in money market portfolios operating under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. Securities lending income, as disclosed in a fund’s Statement of Operations, if applicable, represents the income earned from the investment of the cash collateral plus any fees paid by borrowers, less the fees paid to the lending agent which are subject to adjustments pursuant to the securities lending agreement. On loans collateralized by U.S. Treasury and/or federal agency obligations, a fee is received from the borrower, and is allocated between the fund and the lending agent.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
The values of the securities on loan and the related cash collateral are disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings and the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for each fund. The following table presents the non-cash collateral as of October 31, 2013:
 
         
    Non-Cash
   
Collateral Received
 
Schwab 1000 Index Fund
    $2,294,984  
 
(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 differences between the recorded amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign denominated assets and liabilities other than investments in securities held at the end of the reporting period. These realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses are reported in foreign currency transactions or translations in 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.
 
When a fund closes out a futures or forward 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.
 
(e) Expenses:
 
Expenses that are specific to a fund are charged directly to the fund. Expenses that are common to all funds within the trust generally are allocated among the funds in proportion to their average daily net assets.
 
(f) Distributions to Shareholders:
 
The funds make distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, once a year.
 
(g) Custody Credit:
 
Certain funds have an arrangement with their custodian bank, under which the funds may receive a credit for their uninvested cash balance to offset their custody fees and accounting fees. The credit amounts, if any, are disclosed in the Statement of Operations as a reduction to the funds’ operating expenses.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
(h) 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.
 
(i) Federal Income Taxes:
 
The funds intend to meet federal income and excise tax requirements for regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the funds distribute substantially all of their net investment income and realized net capital gains, if any, to their respective shareholders each year. As long as a fund meets the tax requirements, it is not required to pay federal income tax.
 
(j) 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 October 31, 2013, if any, are reflected in the funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
 
(k) 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.
 
(l) New Accounting Pronouncements:
 
In December 2011, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities,” was issued and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after January 1, 2013. The ASU enhances disclosure requirements with respect to an entity’s rights of offset and related arrangements associated with its financial and derivative instruments. Management has evaluated ASU No. 2011-11 and determined that upon adoption of the standard the funds’ financial statement disclosures will include the enhanced disclosures around rights of offset and related arrangements as required by the standard.
 
3. Risk Factors:
 
Investing in the funds may involve certain risks, as discussed in the funds’ prospectus, including, but not limited to, those described below. Any of these risks could cause an investor to lose money.
 
Stock markets rise and fall daily. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of the investment in a fund will fluctuate, which means that investors could lose money.
 
The prices of equity securities rise and fall daily. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, industries or the securities market as a whole. In addition, equity markets tend to move in cycles, which may cause stock prices to fall over short or extended periods of time.
 
As an index fund, each fund seeks to track the performance of its comparative index, although it may not be successful in doing so. The divergence between the performance of a fund and its index, positive or negative, is called “tracking error”. Tracking error can be caused by many factors and it may be significant. For example, a fund may not invest in certain securities in the index, or match the securities’ weightings to the index, due to regulatory, operational, custodial or liquidity constraints; corporate transactions; asset valuations; transaction costs and timing; tax considerations; and index rebalancing, which may result in tracking error.

3. Risk Factors (continued):
 
Each fund invests in companies measured by its respective index. It follows these stocks during upturns as well as downturns. Because of its indexing strategy, a fund does not take steps to reduce market exposure or to lessen the effects of a declining market. In addition, because of a fund’s expenses, the fund’s performance may be below that of the index.
 
If a fund uses a sampling method, the fund will not fully replicate its comparative index and may hold securities not included in the index. As a result, the 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. If a fund utilizes a sampling approach, it may not track the return of the index as well as it would if the fund purchased all of the securities in its benchmark index.
 
To the extent that a fund’s or the index’s portfolio is concentrated in the securities of issuers in a particular market, industry, group of industries, sector, or asset class, the fund may be adversely affected by the performance of those securities, may be subject to increased price volatility and may be more susceptible to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory occurrences affecting that market, industry, group of industries, sector, or asset class.
 
Historically, small-cap stocks have been riskier than large- and mid-cap stocks. Stock prices of smaller companies may be based in substantial part on future expectations rather than current achievements and may move sharply, especially during market upturns and downturns. Small-cap companies themselves may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. During a period when small-cap stocks fall behind other types of investments — bonds or large-cap stocks, for instance — a fund’s small-cap holdings could reduce performance.
 
Both large- and mid-cap stocks tend to go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. However, stocks of mid-cap companies tend to be more volatile than those of large-cap companies because mid-cap companies tend to be more susceptible to adverse business or economic events than larger more established companies. During a period when large- and mid-cap U.S. stocks fall behind other types of investments — bonds, for instance — a fund’s large- and mid-cap holdings could reduce performance.
 
A fund’s investments in securities of foreign issuers may involve certain risks that are greater than those associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These include risks of adverse changes in foreign economic, political, regulatory and other conditions; changes in currency exchange rates or exchange control regulations (including limitations on currency movements and exchanges); differing accounting, auditing, financial reporting and legal standards and practices; differing securities market structures; and higher transaction costs.
 
To the extent a fund’s investments in a single country or a limited number of countries represent a higher percentage of the fund’s assets, the fund assumes the risk that economic, political and social conditions in those countries will have a significant impact on its investment performance and it may be subject to increased price volatility.
 
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 liquidity risk and market risk, are discussed elsewhere in this section. A fund’s use of derivatives is also subject to credit risk, leverage risk, lack of availability risk, valuation risk, correlation risk and tax risk. Lack of availability risk is the risk that suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances for risk management or other purposes. Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a derivatives transaction may not fulfill its obligations. Leverage risk is the risk that a small percentage of assets invested in derivatives can have a disproportionately larger impact on a fund. 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 the fund to realize higher amounts of short-term capital gain. These risks could cause a fund to lose more than the principal amount invested.
 
A particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell. A fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price.
 
Securities lending involves the risk of loss of rights in the collateral or delay in recovery of the collateral if the borrower fails to return the security loaned or becomes insolvent.
 
Please refer to the funds’ prospectus for a more complete description of the principal risks of investing in the funds.

Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (“CSIM” or the “investment adviser”), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Charles Schwab Corporation, serves as each fund’s investment adviser and administrator pursuant to an Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement (“Advisory Agreement”) between CSIM and each trust.
 
For its advisory and administrative services to the Schwab 1000 Index Fund, CSIM is entitled to receive an annual fee, payable monthly, based on a percentage of the fund’s average daily net assets as follows:

The Board has adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan (the “Plan”) on behalf of the funds. The Plan enables each fund to bear expenses relating to the provision by service providers, including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (a broker-dealer affiliate of CSIM, “Schwab”), of certain account maintenance, customer liaison and shareholder services to the current shareholders of the funds. Schwab serves as the funds’ paying agent under the Plan for making payments of the shareholder service fee due to the service providers (other than Schwab). All shareholder service fees paid by the funds to Schwab in its capacity as the funds’ paying agent will be passed through to the service providers, and Schwab will not retain any portion of such fees.
 
Pursuant to the Plan, each fund’s shares are subject to an annual shareholder servicing fee up to the amount set forth in the table below. The shareholder servicing fee paid to a particular service provider is made pursuant to its written agreement with Schwab (or, in the case of payments made to Schwab, pursuant to Schwab’s written agreement with the funds). Payments under the Plan are made as described above regardless of Schwab’s or the service provider’s actual cost of providing the services. If the cost of providing the services under the Plan is less than the payments received, the unexpended portion of the fees may be retained as profit by Schwab or the service provider.

Certain other related parties may own shares of Schwab funds in this report. As of October 31, 2013, the shares owned by Schwab Charitable Giving Trust (an affiliate of Schwab) as a percentage of the total shares of the Schwab Small Cap Index Fund, Schwab Total Stock Market Index Fund and Schwab International Index Fund were 2.5%, 6.2% and 3.6%, respectively.
 
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the funds may enter into interfund borrowing and lending transactions with other Schwab Funds. All loans are for temporary or emergency purposes only. The interest rate to be charged on a loan is the average of the overnight repurchase agreement rate and the short-term bank loan rate. The interfund lending facility is subject to the oversight and periodic review by the Board. The funds had no interfund borrowing or lending activity during the period.
 
5. Board of Trustees:
 
The Board may include people who are officers and/or directors of CSIM or its affiliates. Federal securities law limits the percentage of such “interested persons” who may serve on a trust’s board, and the trust was in compliance with these limitations throughout the report period. The trust did not pay any of these interested persons for their services as trustees, but it did pay non-interested persons (independent trustees), as noted in each fund’s Statement of Operations. For information regarding the trustees please refer to Trustees and Officers table at the end of this report.

6. Borrowing from Banks:
 
The funds have access to custodian overdraft facilities, a committed line of credit of $150 million with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), an uncommitted line of credit of $100 million with Bank of America, N.A. and an uncommitted line of credit of $50 million with Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. The funds pay interest on the amounts they borrow at rates that are negotiated periodically. The funds also pay an annual fee to State Street for the committed line of credit.
 
There were no borrowings from the lines of credit by the funds during the period. However, the funds may have utilized their overdraft facility and incurred interest expense, which is disclosed in the Statement of Operations, if any. The interest expense is determined based on a negotiated rate above the current Federal Funds Rate.
 
7. Derivatives:
 
Certain funds entered into equity index futures contracts (“futures”) during the report period. The funds invested in futures to equitize available cash. The fair value and variation margin for futures contracts held at October 31, 2013 are presented on the face of the Portfolio Holdings and Statement of Assets and Liabilities, respectively. The net realized/unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts are presented on the Statement of Operations. Refer to financial note 2(b) for the funds’ accounting policies with respect to futures contracts and financial note 3 for disclosures concerning the risks of investing in futures contracts. During the period, the month-end average contract values of futures contracts held by the funds and the month-end average number of contracts held were as follows:

Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax basis, which may differ from net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes. These differences are due primarily to differing treatment for items such as non-U.S. currency gains and losses, short-term capital gains and losses, capital losses related to wash sales, unrealized appreciation of certain investments in non-U.S. securities, and income on certain investments. The fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the net investment income and net realized gains are recorded by the funds for financial reporting purposes. The funds may also designate a portion of the amount paid to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for tax purposes.
 
Permanent book and tax basis differences may result in reclassifications between components of net assets as required. The adjustments will have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. As of October 31, 2013, the funds made the following reclassifications:

As of October 31, 2013, 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 October 31, 2013, the funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

To the Boards of Trustees and Shareholders of:
Schwab S&P 500 Index Fund
Schwab 1000 Index Fund
Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund
Schwab Total Stock Market Index Fund
Schwab International Index Fund
 
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio holdings, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Schwab 1000 Index Fund (one of the portfolios constituting Schwab Investments), Schwab S&P 500 Index Fund, Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund, Schwab Total Stock Market Index Fund, and Schwab International Index Fund (four of the portfolios constituting Schwab Capital Trust) (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) at October 31, 2013, and the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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.
 
The Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”, as appropriate) calls and holds one or more meetings each year that are dedicated, in whole or in part, to considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements between Schwab Capital Trust and Schwab Investments (collectively, the “Trusts”) and Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (“CSIM”) (the “Agreements”) with respect to the existing funds in the Trusts, including Schwab S&P 500 Index Fund, Schwab 1000 Index Fund, Schwab Small- Cap Index Fund, Schwab Total Stock Market Index Fund and Schwab International Index Fund (the “Funds”), and to review certain other agreements pursuant to which CSIM provides investment advisory services to certain other registered investment companies. In preparation for the meeting(s), the Board requests and reviews a wide variety of materials provided by CSIM, including information about CSIM’s affiliates, personnel and operations. As part of the renewal process, Independent Trustees’ legal counsel sends an information request letter to CSIM seeking certain relevant information. The responses by CSIM are provided to the Trustees for their review prior to their meeting, and the Trustees are provided with the opportunity to request any additional materials. The Board also receives extensive data provided by third parties. This information is in addition to the detailed information about the Funds that the Board reviews during the course of each year, including information that relates to Fund operations and Fund performance. The Independent Trustees receive advice from independent counsel to the Independent Trustees, including a memorandum regarding the responsibilities of trustees for the approval of investment advisory agreements. 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, considered information specifically relating to its consideration of the continuance of the Agreements with respect to the Funds at meetings held on April 23, 2013, and June 4, 2013, and approved the renewal of the Agreements with respect to the Funds for an additional one-year term at the meeting held on June 4, 2013. The Board’s approval of the Agreements with respect to the Funds was based on consideration and evaluation of a variety of specific factors discussed at these meetings and at prior meetings, including:
 
1.  the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds under the Agreements, including the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Funds;
 
2.  each Fund’s investment performance and how it compared to that of certain other comparable mutual funds;
 
3.  each Fund’s expenses and how those expenses compared to those of certain other comparable mutual funds;
 
4.  the profitability of CSIM and its affiliates, including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), with respect to each Fund, including both direct and indirect benefits accruing to CSIM and its affiliates; and
 
5.  the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow and whether fee levels in the Agreements reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors.
 
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by CSIM to the Funds and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Funds. In this regard, the Trustees evaluated, among other things, CSIM’s personnel, experience, track record and compliance program. The Trustees also considered investments in CSIM’s mutual fund infrastructure, Schwab’s wide range of products, services, and channel alternatives such as free advice, investment and research tools, Internet access, and an array of account features that benefit the Funds and their shareholders. The Trustees also considered Schwab’s excellent reputation as a full service brokerage firm and its overall financial condition. Finally, the Trustees considered that the vast majority of the Funds’ shareholders are also brokerage clients of Schwab. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by CSIM to the Funds and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Funds supported renewal of the Agreements with respect to the Funds.
 
Fund Performance. The Board considered Fund performance in determining whether to renew the Agreements with respect to the Funds. Specifically, the Trustees considered each Fund’s performance relative to a peer category of other mutual funds and appropriate indices/benchmarks, in light of total return, and market trends. As part of this review, the Trustees considered the composition of the peer category, selection criteria and the reputation of the third party who prepared the peer category analysis. In evaluating the performance of each Fund, the Trustees considered both risk and shareholder risk expectations for such Fund and the

appropriateness of the benchmark used to compare the performance of each Fund. The Trustees further considered the level of Fund performance in the context of their review of Fund expenses and adviser profitability discussed below. Following such evaluation the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the performance of the Funds supported renewal of the Agreements with respect to the Funds.
 
Fund Expenses. With respect to the Funds’ expenses, the Trustees considered the rate of compensation called for by the Agreements, and each Fund’s net operating expense ratio, in each case, in comparison to those of a peer group of mutual funds, such peer groups and comparisons having been selected and calculated by an independent third party. The Trustees considered the effects of CSIM’s and Schwab’s historical practice of voluntarily waiving management and other fees to prevent total Fund expenses from exceeding a specified cap. The Trustees also considered CSIM’s contractual commitment to keep each Fund’s expense cap for so long as CSIM serves as the adviser to such Fund. The Trustees also considered fees charged by CSIM to other mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the expenses of the Funds are reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreements with respect to the Funds.
 
Profitability. With regard to profitability, the Trustees considered the compensation flowing to CSIM and its affiliates, directly or indirectly. In this connection, the Trustees reviewed management’s profitability analyses, together with certain commentary thereon from an independent accounting firm. The Trustees also considered any other benefits derived by CSIM from its relationship with the Funds, such as whether, by virtue of its management of the Funds, 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 Agreements and other service agreements were reasonable and justified in light of the quality of all services rendered to each Fund by CSIM and its affiliates. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the profitability of CSIM is reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreements with respect to the Funds.
 
Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered the existence of any economies of scale and whether those are passed along to a Fund’s shareholders through a graduated investment advisory fee schedule or other means, including any fee waivers by CSIM and its affiliates. In this regard, and consistent with their consideration of Fund expenses, the Trustees considered that CSIM and Schwab have committed resources to minimize the effects on shareholders of diseconomies of scale during periods when fund assets were relatively small through their contractual expense waivers. For example, such diseconomies of scale may particularly affect newer funds or funds with investment strategies that are from time to time out of favor, but shareholders may benefit from the continued availability of such funds at subsidized expense levels. The Trustees also considered the existing contractual investment advisory fee schedules relating to Schwab 1000 Index Fund that include lower fees at higher graduated asset levels. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the Funds obtain reasonable benefit from economies of scale.
 
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, approved the continuation of the Agreements with respect to the Funds and concluded that the compensation under the Agreements with respect to the Funds 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.

Glossary
 
 
asset allocation The practice of dividing a portfolio among different asset classes, with each asset class assigned a particular percentage.
 
asset class A group of securities with similar structure and basic characteristics. Stocks, bonds and cash are the three main examples of asset classes.
 
Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index A broad-based benchmark that measures the investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, mortgage-back securities (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM passthroughs), asset-backed securities, and commercial mortgage-backed securities.
 
bond A security representing a loan from the investor to the issuer. A bond typically pays interest at a fixed rate (the “coupon rate”) until a specified date (the “maturity date”), at which time the issuer returns the money borrowed (“principal” or “face value”) to the bondholder. Because of their structure, bonds are sometimes called “fixed income securities” or “debt securities.”
 
An individual bond is subject to the credit risk of the issuer. Changes in interest rates can affect a bond’s market value prior to call or maturity. There is no guarantee that a bond’s yield to call or maturity will provide a positive return over the rate of inflation.
 
bond fund A bond fund is subject to the same credit, interest rate, and inflation risks as bonds. In addition, a bond fund incurs ongoing fees and expenses. A bond fund’s net asset value will fluctuate with the price of the underlying bonds and the portfolio turnover activity; return of principal is not guaranteed.
 
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 capital gain or loss is considered unrealized appreciation or depreciation.
 
Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index An index that measures the performance of all U.S. equity securities with readily available prices.
 
expense ratio The amount that is taken from a mutual fund’s assets each year to cover the fund’s operating expenses. An expense ratio of 0.50% means that a fund’s expenses amount to half of one percent of its average net assets a year.
 
market cap, market capitalization The value of a company as determined by the total value of all shares of its stock outstanding.
 
MSCI EAFE Index A free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the U.S. & Canada. 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.
 
net asset value (NAV) The value of one share of a mutual fund. NAV is calculated by taking the fund’s total assets, subtracting liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding.
 
outstanding shares, shares outstanding When speaking of a company or mutual 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.
 
return on equity (ROE) The average yearly rate of return for each dollar of investors’ money, measured over the past five years.
 
Russell 2000 Index An index that measures the performance of the small-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes approximately 2000 of the smallest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership.
 
S&P 500 Index A market capitalization index that is designed to measure the performance of 500 leading publicly held companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy.
 
Schwab 1000 Index An index that represents the performance of the largest 1,000 publicly traded companies in the United States.
 
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.
 
weighted average For mutual funds, an average that gives the same weight to each security as the security represents in the fund’s portfolio.
 
yield The income paid out by an investment, expressed as a percentage of the investment’s market value.
