From the President
 

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

 
Dear Shareholder,
 
As President and CEO of Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc., I’d like to thank you for trusting us to help you meet your investment goals, and for reading this important report about the Schwab Bond Funds. These products are part of our core solutions for investing in fixed income securities, and are designed to provide current income while serving as an important part of a well-diversified portfolio.
 
Turning to the six-month reporting period ended February 28, 2014, the funds generated positive total returns that reflected slight overall declines in the yields of many types of fixed income securities. The backdrop for these returns included both the Federal Reserve’s announcement of an initial “tapering” of its stimulative economic policies in December 2013, as well as some signs of weaker U.S. economic activity in early 2014. In this environment, yields on fixed income securities stayed in a somewhat narrow range for the reporting period while generally finishing lower, with corporate bonds outperforming Treasuries and paving the way for the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index to return 2.8%.
 
Returns in the bond market are generally determined by the level of interest rates. Since bond yields and returns tend to move in opposite directions, when yields rise, returns on bonds and bond funds tend to fall. As economic conditions improve, this risk could increase. We employ stress and market scenario testing to analyze the potential performance of our funds under various market conditions.

 Yields of U.S. Treasury Securities: Effective Yields of Three-Month, Two-Year and Ten-Year Treasuries
 
(LINE GRAPH)
 
Yields, or interest rates, represent the cost of borrowing money. Rapid economic growth, waning investor interest in bonds, an increase in the issuance of bonds, or the expectation of higher inflation can drive rates up, while the opposite conditions can push rates down.

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 you cannot invest in them directly. Performance results less than one year are not annualized.
 
1 Performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares.
2 Source for category information: Morningstar, Inc.
3 Fund expenses may have been partially absorbed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. Without these reductions, the total return/yield may have been lower.
4 On August 10, 2009, the Investor Share class and Select Share class of the fund were combined into a single class of shares of the fund. The performance and financial history of the fund is that of the fund’s former Select Shares. Accordingly, the past performance shown is that of the fund’s former Select Shares.
5 As stated in the prospectus. Net Expense: Expenses reduced by a contractual fee waiver in effect for so long as CSIM serves as adviser to the fund. Gross Expense: Does not reflect the effect of contractual fee waivers. For actual ratios during the period, refer to the Financial Highlights section of the financial statements.
6 Yield if fund expenses had not been partially absorbed by the investment adviser and its affiliates.
7 The percentage may differ from the Portfolio Holdings because the above calculation is based on a percentage of total investments, whereas the calculation in the Portfolio Holdings is based on a percentage of net assets.
8 Based on ratings from Moody’s. Where Moody’s ratings are not available, Standard & Poor’s ratings are used. The fund may use different ratings provided by other ratings agencies for purposes of determining compliance with the fund’s investment policies. The fund has not been rated by an independent credit rating agency.

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 September 1, 2013 and held through February 28, 2014.
 
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.

All net realized and change in unrealized gains (losses) in the table above are reflected on the accompanying Statement of Operations. The change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for Level 3 investments held by the fund at February 28, 2014 was $31,381.
 
The fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 as of the beginning of the fiscal year. There were transfers into Level 3 from Level 2 due to valuation using unobservable inputs. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for the period ended February 28, 2014.

All net realized and change in unrealized gains (losses) in the table above are reflected on the accompanying Statement of Operations. The change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for Level 3 investments held by the fund at February 28, 2014 was $18,570.

1. Business Structure of the Funds:
 
Each of the funds in this report is a series of Schwab Investments (the “trust”), a no-load, open-end management investment company. The trust is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The list below shows all the funds in the trust as of the end of the period, including the funds discussed in this report, which are highlighted:
 
         
 
Schwab Investments (organized October 26, 1990)
  Schwab Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Index Fund    
Schwab Short-Term Bond Market Fund
  Schwab Tax-Free Bond Fund    
Schwab Intermediate-Term Bond Fund
  Schwab California Tax-Free Bond Fund    
Schwab Total Bond Market Fund
  Schwab 1000 Index Fund    
Schwab GNMA Fund
  Schwab Global Real Estate Fund    
 
 
Each fund in this report offers one share class. Shares are bought and sold (subject to a redemption fee, see financial note 8) 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”).
 
(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:
 
  •  Bonds and notes: Bonds and notes are valued at halfway between the most recent bid and ask quotes or, if such quotes are unavailable, at prices for securities of comparable maturity, credit quality and type. Valuations for bonds and notes are provided by independent bond-pricing services.
 
  •  Securities for which no quoted value is available: The Board has adopted procedures to fair value each fund’s securities when market prices are not “readily available” or are unreliable. For example, a fund may fair value a security when it is de-listed or its trading is halted or suspended; when a security’s primary pricing source is unable or unwilling to provide a price; or when a security’s primary trading market is closed during regular market hours. Each fund makes fair value determinations in good faith in accordance with the fund’s valuation procedures. The Pricing Committee considers a number of factors, including unobservable market inputs when arriving at fair value. The Pricing Committee may employ techniques such as the review of related or comparable assets or liabilities, related market activities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, transactional back-testing, disposition analysis and other relevant information. The Pricing Committee regularly reviews these inputs and assumptions to calibrate the valuations. Due to the subjective and variable nature of fair value pricing, there can be no assurance that a fund could obtain the fair value assigned to the security upon the sale of such security. The Board convenes on a regular basis to review fair value determinations made by the funds pursuant to the valuation procedures.
 
  •  Short-term securities (60 days or less to maturity): Short-term securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
 
  •  Underlying funds: Mutual funds are valued at their respective NAVs.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). If inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. If the funds determine that either the volume and/or level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased (from normal conditions for that asset or liability) or price quotations or observable inputs are not associated with orderly transactions, increased analysis and management judgment will be required to estimate fair value.
 
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
 
  •  Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities — Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equities and futures contracts. Investments in mutual funds are valued daily at their NAVs, which are classified as Level 1 prices.
 
  •  Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) — Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but whose values are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified as Level 2 prices. These generally include U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, certain mortgage products, less liquid listed equities, and state, municipal and provincial obligations. As investments whose values are classified as Level 2 prices include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information.
 
  •  Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) — Investments whose values are classified as Level 3 prices have significant unobservable inputs, as they may trade infrequently or not at all. When observable prices are not available for these securities, the funds use one or more valuation techniques for which sufficient and reliable data is available. The inputs used by the funds in estimating the value of Level 3 prices may include the original transaction price, quoted prices for similar securities or assets in active markets, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows. Level 3 prices may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the funds in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the funds due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the funds’ results of operations.
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
 
The levels associated with valuing the funds’ investments as of February 28, 2014 are disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings.
 
(b) Accounting Policies for certain Portfolio Investments (if held):
 
Inflation-Protected Securities: The Schwab Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Index Fund invests in inflation-protected securities. Inflation-protected securities are fixed-income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. Over the life of an inflation-protected security, interest is paid based on a fixed percentage of the inflation-adjusted principal value. Any increase or decrease in the principal amount of an inflation-protected security will be included as interest income on the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
 
TBA Commitments: The funds may enter into “TBA” (to be announced) commitments to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a future date. Payments or proceeds of TBA commitments are not delivered until the contractual settlement date. Unsettled TBA commitments are valued at the current market value generally according to the procedures described above in the Security Valuation section. The funds’ use of TBA commitments may cause the funds to experience higher portfolio turnover and higher transaction costs.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
Delayed-Delivery Transactions: The funds may buy securities at a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place after the customary settlement period for that type of security. The funds will assume the rights and risks of ownership at the time of purchase, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations. Typically, no interest will accrue to a fund until the security is delivered. The funds will earmark or segregate appropriate liquid assets to cover their delayed-delivery purchase obligations.
 
Securities Lending: Under the trust’s Securities Lending Program, a fund (lender) may make short-term loans of its securities to another party (borrower) to generate additional revenue for the fund. The borrower pledges collateral in the form of cash, securities issued or fully guaranteed by the U.S. government or foreign governments, or letters of credit issued by a bank. Collateral at the individual loan level is required to have a value of at least 102% of the prior day’s market value of the loaned securities for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities and is marked to market daily. The lending agent provides the fund with indemnification against borrower default. The fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of cash collateral. The cash collateral of securities loaned is invested in money market portfolios operating under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. Securities lending income, as disclosed in a fund’s Statement of Operations, if applicable, represents the income earned from the investment of the cash collateral plus any fees paid by borrowers, less the fees paid to the lending agent 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 the fund and the lending agent. Costs and expenses, including agent fees, associated with securities lending activities under the trust’s Securities Lending Program paid to the unaffiliated lending agent are approximately 15% of the gross lending revenues.
 
The values of the securities on loan and the related cash collateral as of February 28, 2014 for the Schwab Short-Term Bond Market Fund and Schwab Total Bond Market Fund are disclosed in each fund’s Portfolio Holdings and 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. Gains and losses from paydowns on mortgage and asset backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income.
 
(d) Investment Income:
 
Interest income is recorded as it accrues. If a fund buys a debt security at a discount (less than face value) or a premium (more than face value), it amortizes premiums and accretes discounts from the current date up to maturity. The fund then increases (in the case of discounts) or reduces (in the case of premiums) the income it records from the security. If the security is callable (meaning that the issuer has the option to pay it off before its maturity date), then the fund amortizes the premium to the security’s call date and price, rather than the maturity date and price.
 
(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) Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities Charges:
 
Due to market conditions or other reasons, delivery of agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities may not occur on a timely basis. In these instances, a fund may fail to receive a security purchased causing the fund to be unable to deliver a security sold. The Treasury Market Practices Group (an industry group sponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) recommended voluntary fails charges when agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities are not delivered as agreed by the parties.

(g) Distributions to Shareholders:
 
The Schwab Short-Term Bond Market Fund, Schwab Intermediate-Term Bond Fund, Schwab Total Bond Market Fund and the Schwab GNMA Fund declare distributions from net investment income, if any, every day they are open for business. These distributions, which are substantially equal to the funds’ net investment income for that day, are paid out to shareholders once a month. The Schwab Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Index Fund declares and pays distributions from net investment income, if any, quarterly. All the funds make distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, once a year.
 
(h) Custody Credit:
 
The funds have an arrangement with their custodian bank, State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), 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.
 
(i) 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.
 
(j) 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.
 
(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.
 
3. Risk Factors:
 
The funds invest mainly in corporate bonds, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, government or municipal obligations, and other debt securities. These investments may involve certain risks, as discussed in the funds’ prospectus, including, but not limited to, those described below:
 
Market Risk. Bond markets rise and fall daily. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of a shareholder’s investment in the funds will fluctuate, which means that the shareholder could lose money.
 
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rates will rise and fall over time. During periods when interest rates are low, the fund’s yield and total return also may be low. Changes in interest rates also may affect the fund’s share price: a sharp rise in interest rates could

3. Risk Factors (continued):
 
cause the fund’s share price to fall. The longer the fund’s duration, the more sensitive to interest rate movements its share price is likely to be. A change in a central bank’s monetary policy or improving economic conditions may result in an increase in interest rates. Rising interest rates may decrease liquidity in the fixed income securities markets, making it more difficult for a fund to sell its fixed income investments at a time when the investment adviser might wish to sell such investments. Decreased market liquidity also may make it more difficult to value some or all of a fund’s fixed income securities holdings.
 
Credit Risk. The funds are subject to the risk that a decline in the credit quality of a portfolio investment could cause the funds to lose money or underperform. The funds could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a portfolio investment fails to make timely principal or interest payments or otherwise honor its obligations.
 
Liquidity Risk. A particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell. The funds may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price.
 
Prepayment and Extension Risk. The funds’ investments are subject to the risk that the securities may be paid off earlier or later than expected. Either situation could cause the funds to hold securities paying lower-than-market rates of interest, which could hurt the funds’ yield or share price.
 
High Yield Risk. High yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (sometimes called junk bonds) that the funds may invest in are subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risks. High yield securities are considered primarily speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to make principal and interest payments.
 
Foreign Investment Risk. The funds’ investments in securities of foreign issuers may involve certain risks that are greater than those associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These include risks of adverse changes in foreign economic, political, regulatory and other conditions; changes in currency exchange rates or exchange control regulations (including limitations on currency movements and exchanges); differing accounting, auditing, financial reporting and legal standards and practices; differing securities market structures; and higher transaction costs. These risks may be heightened in connection with investments in emerging markets. To the extent a fund’s investments in a single country or a limited number of countries represent a larger percentage of the fund’s assets, the fund’s performance may be adversely affected by the economic, political and social conditions in those countries and it may be subject to increased price volatility.
 
Derivatives Risk. The funds’ use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments and could cause a fund to lose more than the principal amount invested. In addition, investments in derivatives may involve leverage, which means a small percentage of assets invested in derivatives can have a disproportionately larger impact on the funds. However, these risks are less severe when the funds use derivatives for hedging rather than to enhance the funds’ returns or as a substitute for a position or security.
 
Securities Lending Risk. 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.
 
Leverage Risk. Certain fund transactions, such as derivatives and mortgage dollar rolls, may give rise to a form of leverage and may expose the funds to greater risk. Leverage tends to magnify the effect of any decrease or increase in the value of a fund’s portfolio securities. The use of leverage may cause a fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it would not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations.
 
Lack of Governmental Insurance or Guarantee. An investment in the funds is not a bank deposit and it is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency.
 
Please refer to the funds’ prospectus for a more complete description of the principal risks of investing in the funds.
 
4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions:
 
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 the trust.

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 0.25%. 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), and the funds will pay no more than 0.25% of the average annual daily net asset value of the fund shares owned by shareholders holding shares through such service provider. 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.
 
Although these agreements specify certain fees for these services, CSIM and its affiliates have made an additional agreement with the funds, for so long as CSIM serves as the investment adviser to the funds, which may only be amended or terminated with the approval of the Board, to limit the total annual fund operating expenses charged, excluding interest, taxes and certain non-routine expenses (“expense limitation”). The expense limitation as a percentage of average daily net assets is as follows:

Schwab Total Bond Market Fund has incurred legal expenses in prior periods relating to the lawsuit discussed in note 10, as well as another lawsuit that was dismissed by a California court in April of 2011. The legal fees related to these lawsuits were non-routine and would not have been subject to the expense limitation agreement; however, CSIM and its affiliates have voluntarily agreed to include these expenses under the expense limitation agreement. This voluntary agreement is to advance the fund certain litigation expenses in connection with certain legal matters (excluding amounts paid in connection with judgments and settlements) to the extent necessary to maintain the expense limitation. The expenses advanced by CSIM pursuant to the contractual agreement are subject to reimbursement by the fund to the extent the expenses are subsequently paid or reimbursed to the fund by its insurance carriers.
 
For the period ended February 28, 2014, the fund incurred no legal expenses related to these lawsuits. From the commencement of these lawsuits through February 28, 2014, the fund has incurred a total of $1,459,454 in legal expense of which $1,409,948 has been waived by CSIM subject to recoupment in accordance with the provisions noted above.

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, an uncommitted line of credit of $100 million with Bank of America, N.A. (excluding Schwab Total Bond Market Fund) 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.

6. Borrowing from Banks (continued):
 
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.

  As a result of the passage of the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred after December 31, 2010 may now be carried forward indefinitely, but must retain the character of the original loss. However, such losses must be utilized prior to the pre-enactment capital losses, which may increase the likelihood that the pre-enactment capital losses may expire unused. Under pre-enactment law, capital losses could be carried forward for eight years, and carried forward as short-term capital loss, irrespective of the character of the original loss.
 
For tax purposes, realized net capital losses and late-year ordinary losses incurred after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. For the year ended August 31, 2013, the funds had capital losses deferred and capital losses utilized as follows:

As of August 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 August 31, 2013, the funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
 
10. Legal Matters:
 
On August 28, 2008, a class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of investors in the Schwab Total Bond Market Fund. The lawsuit, which alleged violations of state law and federal securities law in connection with the fund’s investment policy, named the trust, the fund, CSIM and Schwab as defendants. Allegations include that the fund improperly deviated from its stated investment objectives by investing in collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and investing more than 25% of fund assets in CMOs and mortgage-backed securities without obtaining a shareholder vote. Plaintiffs sought unspecified compensatory and rescission damages, unspecified equitable and injunctive relief, and costs and attorneys’ fees. On August 8, 2011, the court dismissed Plaintiffs’ case with prejudice, and on September 7, 2011, Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Oral arguments were held on May 17, 2013, but no ruling has been issued. At this time the defendants are unable to estimate whether they will incur a liability or the range of any liability in this matter and any liability incurred could exceed the limits of any potentially applicable insurance policies.
 
11. Subsequent Events:
 
Management has determined there are no subsequent events or transactions through the date the financial statements were issued that would have materially impacted the financial statements as presented.

Glossary
 
 
agency discount notes Notes issued by federal agencies—known as Government Sponsored Enterprises, or GSEs—at a discount to their value at maturity. An agency discount note is a short-term investment offering a high degree of credit quality.
 
Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) A federal income tax designed to limit the extent to which high-income taxpayers (including individuals, estates, trusts and corporations) can benefit from certain deductions and exemptions. For example, some types of income that are exempt from regular federal income tax are not exempt from the AMT.
 
asset allocation The practice of dividing a portfolio among different asset classes, with each asset class assigned a particular percentage.
 
asset-backed securities Bond or other debt securities that represent ownership in a pool of assets such as credit card debt.
 
asset class A group of securities with similar structure and basic characteristics. Stocks, bonds and cash are the three main examples of asset classes.
 
average rate The average rate of interest paid annually by the fixed-income securities in a fund or portfolio.
 
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.
 
Barclays U.S. Government/Credit: 1 − 5 Years Index An index that includes investment-grade government and corporate bonds that are denominated in U.S. dollars and have maturities of one to five years. Bonds are represented in the index in proportion to their market value.
 
Barclays GNMA Index An index that includes the mortgage-backed pass-through securities of the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA).
 
Barclays U.S. TIPS (Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities) Index An index that measures the performance of fixed income securities with fixed-rate coupon payments that adjust for inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers.
 
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.
 
call An early repayment of a bond’s principal by the issuer, usually done because the issuer is able to refinance its bond debt at a lower rate.
 
call protection A term used in reference to a bond that cannot be called by the issuer before maturity, or at least for many years from the present date. A bond that offers call protection can more reliably be expected to provide a given yield over a given number of years than a bond that could be called (assuming both bonds are of the same credit quality).
 
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.
 
certificate of participation A municipal bond that is repaid from an annual budget appropriation rather than being backed by the full faith and credit of the issuer.
 
coupon, coupon rate The annual rate of interest paid until maturity by the issuer of a debt security.
 
credit-enhanced securities Securities that are backed by the credit of an entity other than the issuer (such as a financial institution). Credit enhancements, which can equal up to 100% of the security’s value, are designed to help lower the risk of default on a security and may also make the security more liquid.
 
credit quality The capacity of an issuer to make its interest and principal payments. See chart below.
 
credit risk The risk that a bond issuer may be unable to pay interest or principal to its bondholders.
 
discount rate The implied rate on a debt security that does not pay interest but is bought at a discount and redeemed at face value when it matures.

Credit Ratings
 
Most major bond issuers arrange with a recognized independent rating organization, such as Standard & Poor’s (S&P) or Moody’s Investors Service, to rate the creditworthiness of their bonds. The spectrum of these ratings is divided into two major categories: investment grade and below investment grade (sometimes called “junk bonds”). Bonds rated below investment grade range from those that are considered to have some vulnerability to default to those that appear on the brink of default or are in default.
 
(CREDIT RATINGS GRAPHIC)
 

 
 
 
 79


 

duration A measure of an individual bond’s sensitivity to interest rates, expressed in years. Calculations of duration generally take into account the bond’s yield, interest payments, maturity date and call features.
 
weighted average duration A measure of the duration of all bonds in a fund’s portfolio, also expressed in years, based on the market value weighted average duration of each bond in the portfolio.
 
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.
 
general obligation bonds Municipal bonds that are secured by the issuer’s full faith and credit, which typically is backed by the power of the issuer to levy taxes.
 
interest Payments to bondholders (usually made twice a year) as compensation for loaning the bond principal to the issuer.
 
interest rate risk The risk that a bond’s value will fluctuate if market interest rates change or are expected to change. Bond prices tend to move in the opposite direction of interest rates: when interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall.
 
liquidity-enhanced security A security that when tendered is paid from funds advanced by an entity other than the issuer (such as a large financial institution). Liquidity enhancements are often used on variable-rate securities where the portfolio manager has an option to tender the securities prior to their final maturity.
 
market risk Those elements of risk that are common to all securities in an asset class, and therefore cannot be significantly reduced by diversification within the asset class. Also known as “systemic risk.”’
 
maturity The maturity of a bond will generally be determined using a portfolio security’s final maturity date (date on which the final principal payment of a bond is scheduled to be paid); however, for securitized products, such as mortgage-backed securities and certain other asset-backed securities, maturity will be determined on an average life basis (weighted average time to receipt of all principal payments) by the investment adviser. Because pre-payment rates of individual mortgage pools vary widely, the average life of a particular pool cannot be predicted precisely. For securities with embedded demand features, such as puts or calls, either the demand date or the final maturity date will be used depending on interest rates, yields and other market conditions. The average portfolio maturity of a fund is dollar-weighted based upon the market value of a fund’s securities at the time of the calculation.
 
mortgage-backed securities Bond or other debt securities that represent ownership in a pool of mortgage loans.
 
muni, municipal bonds, municipal securities Debt securities issued by a state, its counties, municipalities, authorities and other subdivisions, or the territories and possessions of the United States and the District of Columbia, including their subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities and corporations. These securities may be issued to obtain money for various public purposes, including the construction of a wide range of public facilities such as airports, bridges, highways, housing, hospitals, mass transportation, public utilities, schools, streets, and water and sewer works.
 
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.
 
prepayment risk The risk that a mortgage-backed security may be paid off early, typically because interest rates have fallen and the homeowners who hold the underlying mortgages have refinanced those mortgages at lower rates. In this type of situation, the investor who held the mortgage-backed security will usually have to settle for a lower rate when reinvesting the principal.
 
refunded bond A bond for which the principal and interest payments are secured or guaranteed by cash or U.S. government securities held in an escrow account.
 
restricted securities Securities that are subject to contractual restrictions on resale. These securities are often purchased in private placement transactions.
 
revenue bonds Municipal bonds that are issued to finance public works projects and are secured by revenue generated by the project (such as water and sewer fees) rather than the full faith and credit of the issuer.
 
section 4(2)/144A securities Securities exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be sold only to qualified institutional buyers under Securities Act Rule 144A.
 
taxable-equivalent yield The yield an investor would need to get from a taxable investment in order to match the yield paid by a given tax-exempt investment, once the effect of all applicable taxes is taken into account. For example, if your tax rate were 25%, a tax-exempt investment paying 4.5% would have a taxable-equivalent yield for you of 6.0% (4.5% ¸ [1 − 0.25%] = 6.0%).
 
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.
 
yield to maturity The annualized rate of return a bondholder could expect if the bond were held to maturity. In addition to interest payments, yield to maturity also factors in any difference between a bond’s current price and its principal amount, or face value.

From the President
 

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

 
Dear Shareholder,
 
As President and CEO of Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc., I’d like to thank you for trusting us to help you meet your investment goals, and for reading this important report about the Schwab Tax-Free Bond Funds. These funds seek current income exempt from federal income tax, including the Alternative Minimum Tax, and are part of our solutions for investing in fixed income securities. In addition, we are proud to announce that for a sixth consecutive year, the Schwab California Tax-Free Bond Fund was named by Lipper* as its “Best California Intermediate Municipal Debt Fund over 10 Years.”
 
Turning to the six-month reporting period ended February 28, 2014, an overall decline in municipal bond yields helped the funds generate positive total returns. The backdrop for these results included both the Federal Reserve’s announcement of an initial “tapering” of its stimulative economic policies in December 2013, as well as some signs of softer U.S. economic activity in early 2014. In this environment, yields on municipal bonds across many maturities finished below where they began the reporting period, while municipal bonds performed well compared with many other fixed income sectors.
 
Returns in the bond market are generally determined by the level of interest rates. Since bond yields and returns tend to move in opposite directions, when yields rise, returns on bonds and bond funds tend to fall. As economic conditions improve, this risk could increase. We employ stress and market scenario testing to analyze the potential performance of our funds under various market conditions.

California State Investment Environment
 
 
California’s financial position is improving with the state’s moderate economic recovery and additional revenues from a tax increase approved by voters in November 2012.
 
California’s fiscal 2014 budget (7/1/13-6/30/14) was the first projected to be structurally balanced since fiscal 2008. The improved budgetary outlook was largely the result of a temporary increase in personal income taxes and sales taxes, approved by voters in November 2012. The new taxes were projected to yield $6.2 billion in additional general fund revenues in fiscal 2014. However, revenues received through February 2014 were substantially ahead of the original projection, with personal income taxes at 9.2% ahead of projections and sales and use taxes below the forecast by 2.0%. Updated projections for the full year anticipate general fund revenues to exceed the budget by about $2.9 billion, or 3.0%. The state now projects to end fiscal 2014 with a $4.2 billion general fund balance, which is equal to 4.3% of annual spending.
 
On January 9, 2014, Governor Brown introduced his spending plan for fiscal 2015. The budget projects general fund revenues of $104.5 billion and expenditures totaling $106.8 billion, including $1.6 billion set aside in a budget stabilization account. With the help of strong capital gains income, the Governor’s budget proposes paying down over $11 billion of the $24.9 billion outstanding budgetary debt, including $6.4 billion of delayed payments to schools and community colleges. If the budget is adopted as proposed, the state projects ending fiscal 2015 with $3.5 billion of reserves, or 3.3% of annual spending.
 
As in other states, many of California’s cities, counties, school districts, as well as water and sewer systems, public and private universities, and non-profit health systems issue bonds. Though the current outlook for state funding is brighter, California’s prior budget cuts have had varying impacts on the credit quality of these issuers. Although California school districts and community college districts receive over 50% of their total funding from the state, their general obligation bonds are secured by dedicated local property tax levies and are not paid from state funds. While many local property tax bases are beginning to stabilize or grow, the areas that experienced the most development just prior to the recession have not yet returned to pre-recession levels. Counties are also beginning to see some improvement in their financial positions from growth in their property tax bases and other revenue streams which may allow them to restore some services that were cut in response to prior cuts in state aid.
 
The outlook for many of California’s cities is also improving, with moderate growth in sales and business taxes. However, they continue to face cost pressures especially in the areas of pensions and healthcare benefits. The cities of Stockton and San Bernardino remain in bankruptcy, and continue to work toward reorganization plans. Stockton and San Bernardino were both centers for the recent housing market boom and bust.
 
California’s essential service enterprises and healthcare providers, such as the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, the East Bay Municipal Utility District, the Bay Area Toll Authority and Kaiser Permanente have been generally insulated from the state’s earlier financial difficulties as they pay off their bonds with revenues received from the services they provide to customers.
 
California’s economy is now recovering from a deep recession at a moderate pace. The state gained 319,500 jobs from January 2013 to January 2014, a 2.1% increase, continuing on from the 441,100 jobs gained in calendar year 2013. California’s unemployment rate declined to 8.1% in January 2014, down from 9.5% in January 2013. That rate placed the state fourth highest in the country and still well above the national average of 6.6%.
 
Despite its diversified economy and high wealth indicators, California remains relatively weak compared to other states due primarily to its recent structural budget problems. At the end of the report period, the state’s general obligation ratings were A1 from Moody’s Investors Service, A from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, and A from Fitch Ratings. S&P revised its rating outlook to positive in January 2014.

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 September 1, 2013 and held through February 28, 2014.
 
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.

  Schwab Global Real Estate Fund    
 
 
Each fund in this report offers one share class. Shares are bought and sold 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”).
 
(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:
 
  •  Bonds and notes: Bonds and notes are valued at halfway between the most recent bid and ask quotes or, if such quotes are unavailable, at prices for securities of comparable maturity, credit quality and type. Valuations for bonds and notes are provided by independent bond-pricing services.
 
  •  Securities for which no quoted value is available: The Board has adopted procedures to fair value each fund’s securities when market prices are not “readily available” or are unreliable. For example, a fund may fair value a security when it is de-listed or its trading is halted or suspended; when a security’s primary pricing source is unable or unwilling to provide a price; or when a security’s primary trading market is closed during regular market hours. Each fund makes fair value determinations in good faith in accordance with the fund’s valuation procedures. The Pricing Committee considers a number of factors, including unobservable market inputs when arriving at fair value. The Pricing Committee may employ techniques such as the review of related or comparable assets or liabilities, related market activities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, transactional back-testing, disposition analysis and other relevant information. The Pricing Committee regularly reviews these inputs and assumptions to calibrate the valuations. Due to the subjective and variable nature of fair value pricing, there can be no assurance that a fund could obtain the fair value assigned to the security upon the sale of such security. The Board convenes on a regular basis to review fair value determinations made by the funds pursuant to the valuation procedures.
 
  •  Short-term securities (60 days or less to maturity): Short-term securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
 
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

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
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.
 
  •  Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) — Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but whose values are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified as Level 2 prices. These generally include U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, certain mortgage products, less liquid listed equities, and state, municipal and provincial obligations. As investments whose values are classified as Level 2 prices include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information.
 
  •  Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) — Investments whose values are classified as Level 3 prices have significant unobservable inputs, as they may trade infrequently or not at all. When observable prices are not available for these securities, the funds use one or more valuation techniques for which sufficient and reliable data is available. The inputs used by the funds in estimating the value of Level 3 prices may include the original transaction price, quoted prices for similar securities or assets in active markets, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows. Level 3 prices may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the funds in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the funds due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the funds’ results of operations.
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
 
The levels associated with valuing the funds’ investments as of February 28, 2014 are disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings.
 
(b) Accounting Policies for certain Portfolio Investments (if held):
 
Delayed-Delivery Transactions: The funds may buy securities at a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place after the customary settlement period for that type of security. The funds will assume the rights and risks of ownership at the time of purchase, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations. Typically, no interest will accrue to a fund until the security is delivered. The funds will earmark or segregate appropriate liquid assets to cover their delayed-delivery purchase obligations.
 
(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.
 
(d) Investment Income:
 
Interest income is recorded as it accrues. If a fund buys a debt security at a discount (less than face value) or a premium (more than face value), it amortizes premiums and accretes discounts from the current date up to maturity. The fund then increases (in the case of discounts) or reduces (in the case of premiums) the income it records from the security. If the security is callable

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
(meaning that the issuer has the option to pay it off before its maturity date), then the fund amortizes the premium to the security’s call date and price, rather than the maturity date and price.
 
(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 declare distributions from net investment income, if any, every day they are open for business. These distributions, which are substantially equal to the funds’ net investment income for that day, are paid out to shareholders once a month. The funds make distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, once a year.
 
(g) Custody Credit:
 
The funds have an arrangement with their custodian bank, State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), 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.
 
(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) 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:
 
The funds invest primarily in investment-grade municipal bond securities. These investments may involve certain risks, as discussed in the funds’ prospectus, including, but not limited to, those described below:
 
Market Risk. Bond markets rise and fall daily. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of a shareholder’s investment in the funds will fluctuate, which means that the shareholder could lose money.
 
Investment Style Risk. The funds are not designed to offer substantial capital appreciation. In exchange for its goal of capital preservation, a fund may offer lower long-term performance than stock investments or certain other types of bond investments. The funds’ emphasis on quality and preservation of capital also could cause it to underperform certain other types of bond investments, particularly those that take greater maturity and credit risks. At the same time, some of the funds’ investments may have greater risks than securities in taxable bond funds.
 
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rates will rise and fall over time. During periods when interest rates are low, the fund’s yield and total return also may be low. Changes in interest rates also may affect the fund’s share price: a sharp rise in interest rates could cause the fund’s share price to fall. The longer the fund’s duration, the more sensitive to interest rate movements its share price

3. Risk Factors (continued):
 
is likely to be. A change in a central bank’s monetary policy or improving economic conditions may result in an increase in interest rates. Rising interest rates may decrease liquidity in the fixed income securities markets, making it more difficult for a fund to sell its fixed income investments at a time when the investment adviser might wish to sell such investments. Decreased market liquidity also may make it more difficult to value some or all of a fund’s fixed income securities holdings.
 
Credit Risk. The funds are subject to the risk that a decline in the credit quality of a portfolio investment could cause the funds to lose money or underperform. The funds could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a portfolio investment fails to make timely principal or interest payments or otherwise honor its obligations.
 
Liquidity Risk. A particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell. The funds may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price.
 
High Yield Risk. High yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (sometimes called junk bonds) that the funds may invest in are subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risks. High yield securities are considered primarily speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to make principal and interest payments.
 
Leverage Risk. Certain fund transactions, such as derivatives, may give rise to a form of leverage and may expose the funds to greater risk. Leverage tends to magnify the effect of any decrease or increase in the value of a fund’s portfolio securities. The use of leverage may cause a fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it would not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations.
 
Prepayment and Extension Risk. The funds’ investments are subject to the risk that the securities may be paid off earlier or later than expected. Either situation could cause the funds to hold securities paying lower-than-market rates of interest, which could hurt the funds’ yield or share price.
 
Municipal Securities Risk. The funds primarily invest in municipal securities whose interest, in the opinion of the issuers’ counsel, is exempt from federal income tax and from the AMT. Neither the investment adviser nor the funds guarantee that this opinion is correct, and there is no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will agree with such counsel’s opinion. If certain types of investments a fund buys as tax-exempt are later ruled to be taxable, a portion of the fund’s income could be taxable. To the extent that a fund invests in municipal securities from a given state or geographic region, its share price and performance could be affected by local, state and regional factors, including erosion of the tax base and changes in the economic climate. In addition, many municipal securities are issued to finance specific projects (especially those relating to education, health care, transportation and utilities) and conditions in those sectors can affect the overall municipal market. National governmental actions, such as the elimination of tax-exempt status, or the reduction of financial support to municipalities, also could affect performance. Municipalities continue to experience difficulties in the current economic and political environment.
 
Derivatives Risk. The funds’ use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments and could cause a fund to lose more than the principal amount invested. In addition, investments in derivatives may involve leverage, which means a small percentage of assets invested in derivatives can have a disproportionately larger impact on the funds. However, these risks are less severe when the funds use derivatives for hedging rather than to enhance the funds’ returns or as a substitute for a position or security.
 
Management Risk. As actively managed mutual funds, the funds are subject to the risk that their investment adviser will make poor security selections. The funds’ investment adviser applies its own investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for each fund, but there can be no guarantee that they will produce the desired results.
 
California State-Specific Risk. Because the Schwab California Tax-Free Bond Fund concentrates its investments in California municipal securities, the fund may be affected significantly by economic, regulatory or political developments affecting the ability of California issuers to pay interest or repay principal.
 
Taxable Investments. A fund may invest a portion of its assets in securities that generate income that is not exempt from federal income tax and, in addition, with respect to any temporary defensive investments by the fund, in securities whose interest is subject to the AMT. These investments could generate taxable income for shareholders.
 
Lack of Governmental Insurance or Guarantee. An investment in the funds is not a bank deposit and it is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency.

3. Risk Factors (continued):
 
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:
 
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 the trust.
 
For its advisory and administrative 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:
 
                 
    Schwab
  Schwab
    Tax-Free
  California Tax-Free
Average Daily Net Assets
 
Bond Fund
 
Bond Fund
 
First $500 million
    0.30%       0.30%  
Over $500 million
    0.22%       0.22%  
 
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 0.25%. 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), and the funds will pay no more than 0.25% of the average annual daily net asset value of the fund shares owned by shareholders holding shares through such service providers. 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 payment received, the unexpended portion of the fees may be retained as profit by Schwab or the service provider.
 
Although these agreements specify certain fees for these services, CSIM and its affiliates have made an additional agreement with the funds, for so long as CSIM serves as the investment adviser to the funds, which may only be amended or terminated with the approval of the Board, to limit the total annual fund operating expenses charged, excluding interest, taxes and certain non-routine expenses (“expense limitation”) to 0.49%.
 
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, 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.

6. Borrowing from Banks (continued):
 
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. Purchases and Sales/Maturities of Investment Securities:
 
For the period ended February 28, 2014, purchases and sales/maturities of securities (excluding short-term obligations) were as follows:
 
                 
   
Purchases of Securities
 
Sales/Maturities of Securities

Schwab California Tax-Free Bond Fund
    208,465,631       200,180,653  
 
8. Federal Income Taxes:
 
Capital loss carryforwards may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. As of August 31, 2013, the funds had no capital loss carryforwards.
 
For tax purposes, realized net capital losses and late-year ordinary losses incurred after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. For the year ended August 31, 2013, the funds had capital losses deferred and capital losses utilized as follows:
 
                 
    Schwab
  Schwab
    Tax-Free
  California Tax-Free
   
Bond Fund
 
Bond Fund
 
Deferred capital losses
    $1,536,513       $475,800  
Capital losses utilized
           
 
As of August 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 August 31, 2013, the funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
 
9. Subsequent Events:
 
Management has determined there are no subsequent events or transactions through the date the financial statements were issued that would have materially impacted the financial statements as presented.

Glossary
 
 
agency discount notes Notes issued by federal agencies—known as Government Sponsored Enterprises, or GSEs—at a discount to their value at maturity. An agency discount note is a short-term investment offering a high degree of credit quality.
 
Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) A federal income tax designed to limit the extent to which high-income taxpayers (including individuals, estates, trusts and corporations) can benefit from certain deductions and exemptions. For example, some types of income that are exempt from regular federal income tax are not exempt from the AMT.
 
asset allocation The practice of dividing a portfolio among different asset classes, with each asset class assigned a particular percentage.
 
asset-backed securities Bond or other debt securities that represent ownership in a pool of assets such as credit card debt.
 
asset class A group of securities with similar structure and basic characteristics. Stocks, bonds and cash are the three main examples of asset classes.
 
average rate The average rate of interest paid annually by the fixed-income securities in a fund or portfolio.
 
Barclays 7-Year Municipal Bond Index An index that includes the 7-Year (6 − 8) component of the Barclays Capital General Municipal Bond Index.
 
Barclays California Exempt Municipal Bond Index An index that is the California component of the Barclays Municipal Bond Index.
 
Barclays Municipal Bond Index An index that covers the USD-denominated long-term tax exempt bond market. The index has four main sectors: state and local general obligation bonds, revenue bonds, insured bonds, and prerefunded bonds.
 
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.
 
call An early repayment of a bond’s principal by the issuer, usually done because the issuer is able to refinance its bond debt at a lower rate.
 
call protection A term used in reference to a bond that cannot be called by the issuer before maturity, or at least for many years from the present date. A bond that offers call protection can more reliably be expected to provide a given yield over a given number of years than a bond that could be called (assuming both bonds are of the same credit quality).
 
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.
 
certificate of participation A municipal bond that is repaid from an annual budget appropriation rather than being backed by the full faith and credit of the issuer.
 
coupon, coupon rate The annual rate of interest paid until maturity by the issuer of a debt security.
 
credit-enhanced securities Securities that are backed by the credit of an entity other than the issuer (such as a financial institution). Credit enhancements, which can equal up to 100% of the security’s value, are designed to help lower the risk of default on a security and may also make the security more liquid.
 
credit quality The capacity of an issuer to make its interest and principal payments. See chart below.
 
credit risk The risk that a bond issuer may be unable to pay interest or principal to its bondholders.
 
discount rate The implied rate on a debt security that does not pay interest but is bought at a discount and redeemed at face value when it matures.
 
duration A measure of an individual bond’s sensitivity to interest rates, expressed in years. Calculations of duration generally take into account the bond’s yield, interest payments, maturity date and call features.
 
weighted average duration A measure of the duration of all bonds in a fund’s portfolio, also expressed in years, based on the market value weighted average duration of each bond in the portfolio.
 
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.

Credit Ratings
 
Most major bond issuers arrange with a recognized independent rating organization, such as Standard & Poor’s (S&P) or Moody’s Investors Service, to rate the creditworthiness of their bonds. The spectrum of these ratings is divided into two major categories: investment grade and below investment grade (sometimes called “junk bonds”). Bonds rated below investment grade range from those that are considered to have some vulnerability to default to those that appear on the brink of default or are in default.
 
(CREDIT RATINGS GRAPHIC)

general obligation bonds Municipal bonds that are secured by the issuer’s full faith and credit, which typically is backed by the power of the issuer to levy taxes.
 
interest Payments to bondholders (usually made twice a year) as compensation for loaning the bond principal to the issuer.
 
interest rate risk The risk that a bond’s value will fluctuate if market interest rates change or are expected to change. Bond prices tend to move in the opposite direction of interest rates: when interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall.
 
liquidity-enhanced security A security that when tendered is paid from funds advanced by an entity other than the issuer (such as a large financial institution). Liquidity enhancements are often used on variable-rate securities where the portfolio manager has an option to tender the securities prior to their final maturity.
 
market risk Those elements of risk that are common to all securities in an asset class, and therefore cannot be significantly reduced by diversification within the asset class. Also known as “systemic risk.”’
 
maturity The maturity of a bond will generally be determined using a portfolio security’s final maturity date (date on which the final principal payment of a bond is scheduled to be paid); however, for securitized products, such as mortgage-backed securities and certain other asset-backed securities, maturity will be determined on an average life basis (weighted average time to receipt of all principal payments) by the investment adviser. Because pre-payment rates of individual mortgage pools vary widely, the average life of a particular pool cannot be predicted precisely. For securities with embedded demand features, such as puts or calls, either the demand date or the final maturity date will be used depending on interest rates, yields and other market conditions. The average portfolio maturity of a fund is dollar-weighted based upon the market value of a fund’s securities at the time of the calculation.
 
mortgage-backed securities Bond or other debt securities that represent ownership in a pool of mortgage loans.
 
muni, municipal bonds, municipal securities Debt securities issued by a state, its counties, municipalities, authorities and other subdivisions, or the territories and possessions of the United States and the District of Columbia, including their subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities and corporations. These securities may be issued to obtain money for various public purposes, including the construction of a wide range of public facilities such as airports, bridges, highways, housing, hospitals, mass transportation, public utilities, schools, streets, and water and sewer works.
 
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.
 
prepayment risk The risk that a mortgage-backed security may be paid off early, typically because interest rates have fallen and the homeowners who hold the underlying mortgages have refinanced those mortgages at lower rates. In this type of situation, the investor who held the mortgage-backed security will usually have to settle for a lower rate when reinvesting the principal.
 
refunded bond A bond for which the principal and interest payments are secured or guaranteed by cash or U.S. government securities held in an escrow account.
 
restricted securities Securities that are subject to contractual restrictions on resale. These securities are often purchased in private placement transactions.
 
revenue bonds Municipal bonds that are issued to finance public works projects and are secured by revenue generated by the project (such as water and sewer fees) rather than the full faith and credit of the issuer.
 
S&P California AMT-Free Municipal Bond Index A broad, comprehensive market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of investment-grade tax-exempt bonds issues within California.
 
S&P National AMT-Free Municipal Bond Index A broad, comprehensive market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the investment-grade tax-exempt U.S. municipal bond market.
 
section 4(2)/144A securities Securities exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be sold only to qualified institutional buyers under Securities Act Rule 144A.
 
taxable-equivalent yield The yield an investor would need to get from a taxable investment in order to match the yield paid by a given tax-exempt investment, once the effect of all applicable taxes is taken into account. For example, if your tax rate were 25%, a tax-exempt investment paying 4.5% would have a taxable-equivalent yield for you of 6.0% (4.5% ¸ [1 − 0.25%] = 6.0%).
 
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.
 
yield to maturity The annualized rate of return a bondholder could expect if the bond were held to maturity. In addition to interest payments, yield to maturity also factors in any difference between a bond’s current price and its principal amount, or face value.
