Supplement dated April 12, 2021 to the fund’s currently effective
Summary Prospectus, Statutory Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information (SAI)
This supplement provides new and additional information beyond that contained in the
Summary Prospectus, Statutory Prospectus and SAI and should be read in conjunction with the
Summary Prospectus, Statutory Prospectus and SAI.
This information was originally supplemented on March 10, 2021, to the fund’s then currently effective Summary Prospectus, Statutory Prospectus and SAI.
At a meeting held on February 24, 2021, the Board of Trustees of the Trust approved (i) changing the fund’s name, (ii) certain changes to the fund’s investment strategy, (iii) reductions of the fund’s management fees and a new expense limitation, (iv) the removal of the fund’s contingent redemption fee, and (v) a change to the fund’s primary benchmark index. These changes, which are summarized below, will be effective on July 1, 2021.

The fund’s name will change from Schwab High Yield Municipal Bond Fund to “Schwab Opportunistic Municipal Bond Fund.”

Summary Prospectus and Statutory Prospectus — Under the “Principal Investment Strategies” section: The third and fourth paragraph are hereby deleted and replaced with the following:
The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in investment grade municipal securities, as determined by a nationally recognized rating organization (NRSRO) (e.g., Baa3 or higher by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”)) or if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality by the investment adviser. The fund may also invest in municipal securities that are less-than-investment grade, as determined by an NRSRO (e.g., Ba1 or lower by Moody’s) or by the investment adviser.
In choosing securities, the fund’s investment adviser seeks to maximize current income by utilizing a flexible investment process that identifies opportunities in the municipal bond market of any maturity, duration and credit quality, including below investment grade securities. The investment adviser’s credit research department analyzes and monitors the securities that the fund owns or is considering buying.
