Investment Adviser: Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM)

The Investment Environment
The Schwab MarketTrack Growth Portfolio II focuses on stock investments, while including some bonds and cash investments in seeking to reduce the portfolio’s volatility.
For the six-month reporting period ended June 30, 2015, U.S. and international stocks generated overall positive performances. In the U.S., the Federal Reserve maintained historically low short-term interest rates, while consumer sentiment improved toward the end of the reporting period. Weaker-than-expected economic data for early 2015 surprised many investors, though the economy was able to recover in the following months. As a result, the Dow Jones U.S. Broad Stock Market Index returned 1.9%.
Outside the U.S., stocks in both developed international and emerging markets rallied over the reporting period. Geopolitical tensions subsided in many areas, though uncertainty around the Greece debt crisis and the Chinese economy contributed to market volatility. The U.S. dollar remained strong against most foreign currencies, as many central banks increased economic measures to stimulate growth and combat threats of deflation. When the U.S. dollar rises against foreign currencies, returns on overseas investments will generally be reduced in U.S. dollar terms. However, as developed international and emerging markets performed well this reporting period, returns on many of these investments were positive even when translated into U.S. dollars. Reflecting these conditions, the MSCI EAFE Index (Net)—representing the performance of developed international stocks—returned 5.5%, and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net) returned 3.0%.
U.S. bonds generated negative overall returns during the reporting period, though still outperformed international bonds. Speculation surrounding a potential short-term rate increase in the U.S. contributed to rising yields on U.S. bonds, and generally weakened demand for these securities. International bonds also generated negative returns, in part due to the strength of the U.S. dollar. The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index—representing the broad U.S. bond market—returned -0.1% for the reporting period, and the Citigroup Non-U.S. Dollar World Government Bond Index returned -5.8%.

Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
Examples for a $1,000 Investment

The portfolio incurs ongoing costs, such as 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 January 1, 2015 and held through June 30, 2015.
The Actual Return line in the table below provides 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 the portfolio under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”
The Hypothetical Return line in the table below provides 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 the portfolio 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.

Schwab MarketTrack Growth Portfolio II
Financial Notes, unaudited
1. Business Structure of the Fund:
Schwab MarketTrack Growth Portfolio II (the “fund”) is a series of Schwab Annuity Portfolios (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 fund discussed in this report, which is highlighted:
Schwab Annuity Portfolios (organized January 21, 1994)
Schwab Money Market Portfolio
Schwab MarketTrack Growth Portfolio II
Schwab S&P 500 Index Portfolio
Schwab VIT Balanced Portfolio
Schwab VIT Balanced with Growth Portfolio
Schwab VIT Growth Portfolio
    
The fund is primarily a “fund of funds” as it invests a major portion of its assets in a combination of other Schwab Funds (underlying funds) to achieve its investment objectives and maintain its asset allocation. The fund may also invest directly in equity or fixed income securities and cash equivalents, including money market securities, to achieve its investment objectives.
The fund 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 the fund. Each share has a par value of 1/1,000 of a cent, and the fund's Board of Trustees (the “Board”) may authorize the issuance of as many shares as necessary.
The fund is intended as an investment vehicle for variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies to be offered by separate accounts of participating life insurance companies and for pension and retirement plans qualified under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. At June 30, 2015, 100% of the fund's shares were held through one insurance company. Subscriptions and redemptions of these insurance separate accounts could have a material impact on the fund.
The fund maintains its own account for purposes of holding assets and accounting, and is considered a separate entity for tax purposes. Within its account, the 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 fund uses in its preparation of financial statements. The fund follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies. The accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
The financial statements of the fund should be read in conjunction with the underlying funds' financial statements. For more information about the underlying funds' operations and policies, please refer to those funds' semiannual and annual reports, which are filed and available on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (“SEC”) website at www.sec.gov or at the SEC's Public Reference Room in Washington D.C.
(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 fund to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers and other market sources to determine fair value.
The fund values the securities in its portfolio every business day. The fund uses the following policies to value various types of securities:
•  Underlying funds: Mutual funds are valued at their respective NAVs.
•   Securities for which no quoted value is available: The Board has adopted procedures to fair value the 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. The 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
10

Schwab MarketTrack Growth Portfolio II
Financial Notes, unaudited (continued)
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
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 fund pursuant to the valuation procedures.
•   Short-term securities (60 days or less to maturity): A short-term security may be valued at its amortized cost when it approximates the security's market value.
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the fund discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the significant inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). If inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. If the fund determines that either the volume and/or level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased (from normal conditions for that asset or liability) or price quotations or observable inputs are not associated with orderly transactions, increased analysis and management judgment will be required to estimate fair value.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
•  Level 1quoted prices in active markets for identical securitiesInvestments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equities. Investments in mutual funds are valued daily at their NAVs, which are classified as Level 1 prices, without consideration to the classification level of the specific investments held by an underlying fund.
•  Level 2other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but whose values are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified as Level 2 prices. These generally include U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, certain mortgage products, less liquid listed equities, and state, municipal and provincial obligations. 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 3significant unobservable inputs (including the fund's 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 fund uses one or more valuation techniques for which sufficient and reliable data is available. The inputs used by the fund 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 fund in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the fund due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the fund's 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 fund's investments as of June 30, 2015 are disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings.
(b) 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.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
(c) Investment Income:
Interest income is recorded as it accrues. Dividends and distributions from portfolio securities and underlying funds are recorded on the date they are effective (the ex-dividend date), although the fund records certain foreign security dividends on the day it learns of the ex-dividend date. Any distributions from underlying funds are recorded in accordance with the character of the distributions as designated by the underlying funds.
(d) 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. The fund bears its share of the allocable expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests. Such expenses are reflected in the net asset values of the underlying funds.
(e) Distributions to Shareholders:
The fund makes distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, once a year.
(f) 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.
(g) Federal Income Taxes:
The fund intends to meet federal income and excise tax requirements for regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income and realized net capital gains, if any, to the participating insurance company's (shareholders) separate accounts each year. As long as the fund meets the tax requirements, it is not required to pay federal income tax.
(h) Indemnification:
Under the fund’s organizational documents, the officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business the fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide general indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the fund. However, based on experience, the fund expects the risk of loss attributable to these arrangements to be remote.
3. Risk Factors:
Investing in the fund may involve certain risks, as discussed in the fund's prospectus, including, but not limited to, those described below. Any of these risks could cause an investor to lose money.
Asset Allocation Risk. The fund is subject to asset allocation risk, which is the risk that the selection of the underlying funds and the allocation of the fund's assets among the various asset classes and market segments will cause the fund to underperform other funds with a similar investment objective.
Affiliated Fund Risk. The investment adviser’s authority to select and substitute underlying funds from a variety of affiliated and unaffiliated mutual funds may create a conflict of interest because the fees paid to it by some underlying funds are higher than the fees paid by other underlying funds. However, the portfolio manager is a fiduciary to the fund and is legally obligated to act in the fund’s best interests when selecting underlying funds, without taking fees into consideration.
Market Risk. Equity and bond markets rise and fall daily. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of an investment in the fund will fluctuate, which means that an investor could lose money.

3. Risk Factors (continued):
Underlying Fund Investment Risk. The value of an investment in the fund is based primarily on the prices of the underlying funds that the fund purchases. In turn, the price of each underlying fund is based on the value of its securities. The fund is subject to the performance and expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests. Before investing in the fund, investors should assess the risks associated with the underlying funds in which the fund may invest and the types of investments made by those underlying funds. These risks include any combination of the risks described below, although the fund's exposure to a particular risk will be proportionate to the fund's overall asset allocation and underlying fund allocation.
•   Concentration Risk. To the extent that an underlying fund's or an index's portfolio is concentrated in the securities of issuers in a particular market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class, the underlying fund may be adversely affected by the performance of those securities, may be subject to increased price volatility and may be more susceptible to adverse economic, market, political, or regulatory occurrences affecting that market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class.
•   Investment Risk. An investment in an underlying fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The fund may experience losses with respect to its investment in an underlying fund. Further, there is no guarantee that an underlying fund will be able to achieve its objective.
•   Investment Style Risk. Certain of the underlying funds seek to track the performance of various segments of the stock market, as measured by their respective indices. Each underlying fund follows these stocks during upturns as well as downturns. Because of their indexing strategy, the underlying funds do not take steps to reduce market exposure or to lessen the effects of a declining market. In addition, because of an underlying fund's expenses, the underlying fund's performance is normally below that of the index.
•   Equity Risk. The prices of equity securities rise and fall daily. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, industries or the securities market as a whole. In addition, the equity market tends to move in cycles, which may cause stock prices to fall over short or extended periods of time.
•   Tracking Error Risk. Each underlying index fund seeks to track the performance of its benchmark index, although it may not be successful in doing so. The divergence between the performance of a fund and its benchmark index, positive or negative, is called “tracking error.” Tracking error can be caused by many factors and it may be significant.
•   Large-Cap Risk. Many of the risks of the underlying funds are associated with their investment in the large-cap segments of the stock market. Large-cap stocks tend to go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions.
•   Small-Cap Risk. Historically, small-cap stocks have been riskier than large- and mid-cap stocks, and their prices may move sharply, especially during market upturns and downturns. Small-cap companies may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies.
•   Money Market Risk. Although an underlying money market fund seeks to maintain a stable $1 net asset value, it is possible to lose money by investing in a money market fund. In exchange for their emphasis on stability and liquidity, money market instruments may offer lower long term performance than stock.
•   Foreign Investment Risk. An underlying fund's investments in securities of foreign issuers may involve certain risks that are greater than those associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These include risks of adverse changes in foreign economic, political, regulatory and other conditions; changes in currency exchange rates or exchange control regulations (including limitations on currency movements and exchanges); differing accounting, auditing, financial reporting and legal standards and practices; differing securities market structures; and higher transaction costs. These risks may negatively impact the value or liquidity of the underlying fund's investments, and could impair the underlying fund's ability to meet its investment objective or invest in accordance with its investment strategy. To the extent an underlying fund's investment in a single country or a limited number of countries represents a large percentage of the underlying fund's assets, the underlying 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.
13

Schwab MarketTrack Growth Portfolio II
Financial Notes, unaudited (continued)
3. Risk Factors (continued):
•   Currency Risk. As a result of an underlying fund's investments in securities denominated in, and/or receiving revenues in foreign currencies, the fund will be subject to currency risk. This is the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency hedged. In either event, the dollar value of an investment in an underlying fund would be adversely affected.
•   Derivatives Risk. An underlying fund's use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments and could cause the 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 large impact on an underlying fund.
•   Exchange-Traded Funds (“ETFs”) Risk. When an underlying fund invests in an ETF, it will bear a proportionate share of the ETF's expenses. In addition, lack of liquidity in the market for an ETF's shares can result in its value being more volatile than the underlying portfolio of securities.
•   Debt Securities Risk. Bond prices generally fall when interest rates rise. Bonds with longer maturities tend to be more sensitive to this risk. Underlying fund performance also could be affected if an issuer or guarantor of a bond held by the fund fails to make timely principal or interest payments or otherwise honor its obligations. Lower-quality bonds are considered speculative with respect to their issuer's ability to make timely payments or otherwise honor their obligations. In addition, prices of lower-quality bonds tend to be more volatile than those of investment-grade bonds, and may fall based on bad news about the issuer, an industry or the overall economy.
•   Interest Rate Risk. An underlying fund’s investments in fixed income securities are subject to the risk that interest rates rise and fall over time. As with any investment whose yield reflects current interest rates, an underlying fund’s yield will change over time. During periods when interest rates are low, an underlying fund’s yield (and total return) also may be low. Changes in interest rates also may affect an underlying fund's share price: a sharp rise in interest rates could cause the underlying fund's share price to fall. The longer the underlying fund’s duration, the more sensitive to interest rate movements its share price is likely to be. Because interest rates in the United States are at, or near, historically low levels, a change in a central bank's monetary policy or improving economic conditions may result in an increase in interest rates.
•  Liquidity Risk. An underlying fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price.
•   Securities Lending Risk. An underlying fund may lend its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers, and other financial institutions. 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.
Direct Investment Risk. The fund may invest directly in individual securities as well as other mutual funds, ETFs and cash equivalents, including money market securities to maintain its allocations. The fund's direct investment in these securities is subject to the same or similar risks as an underlying fund's investment in the same securities.
Please refer to the fund’s prospectus for a more complete description of the principal risks of investing in the fund.
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 the fund's investment adviser and administrator pursuant to an Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement between CSIM and the trust.
For its advisory and administrative services to the fund, CSIM is entitled to receive an annual fee, payable monthly, based on a percentage of the fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
Average Daily Net Assets  
First $500 million 0.44%
Over $500 million 0.39%

4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions (continued):
CSIM and its affiliates have made an additional agreement with the fund, for so long as CSIM serves as the investment adviser to the fund, 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 0.50% through April 29, 2017.
The agreement to limit the fund's total expenses charged is limited to the fund's direct operating expenses and, therefore, does not apply to underlying fund fees and expenses, which are indirect expenses incurred by a fund through its investments in the underlying funds.
The fund may engage in certain transactions involving related parties. Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the fund may invest in other related funds. As of June 30, 2015, the Schwab MarketTrack Growth Portfolio II's ownership percentages of other related funds' shares are:
Schwab International Index Fund 0.2%
Schwab 1000 Index Fund 0.0%*
Schwab S&P 500 Index Fund 0.0%*
Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund 0.2%
Schwab Total Bond Market Fund 0.4%
Schwab Value Advantage Money Fund, Institutional Prime Shares 0.0%*
* Less than 0.05%

Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the fund may enter into interfund borrowing and lending transactions with other funds in the Fund Complex (for definition refer to Trustees and Officers section). All loans are for temporary or emergency purposes 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 fund 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 on the fund’s Statement of Operations. For information regarding the trustees, please refer to the Trustees and Officers table at the end of this report.

6. Borrowing from Banks:
The fund has access to custodian overdraft facilities, a committed line of credit of $150 million with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), an uncommitted line of credit of $100 million with Bank of America, N.A. and an uncommitted line of credit of $50 million with Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. The fund pays interest on the amounts it borrows at rates that are negotiated periodically. The fund also pays an annual fee to State Street for the committed line of credit.
There were no borrowings from the lines of credit by the fund during the period. However, the fund may have utilized its overdraft facility and incurred an interest expense, which is disclosed on the fund's 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 June 30, 2015, purchases and sales/maturities of securities (excluding short-term obligations) were as follows:
Purchases of Securities   Sales/Maturities of Securities
$761,525   $2,417,000
8. Federal Income Taxes:
Capital loss carryforwards may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. As of December 31, 2014, the fund 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 December 31, 2014, the fund had no capital losses deferred and no capital loss carryforwards utilized.
As of December 31, 2014, 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 fund, and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements. The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period ended December 31, 2014, the fund 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.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval

The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) requires that initial approval of, as well as the continuation of, a fund’s investment advisory agreement must be specifically approved (1) by the vote of the trustees or by a vote of the shareholders of the fund, and (2) by the vote of a majority of the trustees who are not parties to the investment advisory agreement or “interested persons” of any party (the “Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. In connection with such approvals, the fund’s trustees must request and evaluate, and the investment adviser is required to furnish, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the investment advisory agreement.
The Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”, as appropriate) calls and holds one or more meetings each year that are dedicated, in whole or in part, to considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreement between Schwab Annuity Portfolios (the “Trust”) and Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (“CSIM”) (the “Agreement”) with respect to the existing funds in the Trust, including Schwab MarketTrack Growth Portfolio II (the “Fund”), and to review certain other agreements pursuant to which CSIM provides investment advisory services to certain other registered investment companies. In preparation for the meeting(s), the Board requests and reviews a wide variety of materials provided by CSIM, including information about CSIM’s affiliates, personnel and operations. The Board also receives extensive data provided by third parties. This information is in addition to the detailed information about the Fund that the Board reviews during the course of each year, including information that relates to Fund operations and Fund performance. The Independent Trustees receive advice from independent counsel to the Independent Trustees, including a memorandum regarding the responsibilities of trustees for the approval of investment advisory agreements. In addition, the Independent Trustees meet in executive session outside the presence of Fund management and participate in question and answer sessions with representatives of CSIM.
The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered information specifically relating to its consideration of the continuance of the Agreement with respect to the Fund at meetings held on April 29, 2015, and June 1, 2015, and approved the renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund for an additional one year term at the meeting held on June 1, 2015. The Board’s approval of the Agreement with respect to the Fund was based on
consideration and evaluation of a variety of specific factors discussed at these meetings and at prior meetings, including:
1. the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Agreement, including the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund;
2. the Fund’s investment performance and how it compared to that of certain other comparable mutual funds;
3. the Fund’s expenses and how those expenses compared to those of certain other comparable mutual funds;
4. the profitability of CSIM and its affiliates, including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), with respect to the Fund, including both direct and indirect benefits accruing to CSIM and its affiliates; and
5. the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels in the Agreement reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by CSIM to the Fund and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund. In this regard, the Trustees evaluated, among other things, CSIM’s personnel, experience, track record and compliance program. The Trustees also considered Schwab’s wide range of products, services, and channel alternatives such as investment research tools and Internet access and an array of account features that benefit the Fund and certain of its shareholders. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by CSIM to the Fund and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.
Fund Performance. The Board considered the Fund’s performance in determining whether to renew the Agreement with respect to the Fund. Specifically, the Trustees considered the Fund’s performance relative to a peer category of other mutual funds and appropriate indices/benchmarks, in light of total return and market trends. As part of this review, the Trustees considered the composition of the peer category, selection criteria and the reputation of the third party who prepared the peer category analysis. In evaluating the performance of the Fund, the Trustees considered both risk and shareholder risk expectations for the Fund and the appropriateness of the benchmark used to compare the performance of the Fund. The Trustees further considered the level of Fund performance in the context of its review of Fund expenses
17

and adviser profitability discussed below. Following such evaluation the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the performance of the Fund supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.
Fund Expenses. With respect to the Fund’s expenses, the Trustees considered the rate of compensation called for by the Agreement, and the Fund’s net operating expense ratio, in each case, in comparison to those of other comparable mutual funds, such peer groups and comparisons having been selected and calculated by an independent third party. The Trustees considered the effects of CSIM’s and Schwab’s practice of waiving management and other fees to prevent total fund expenses from exceeding a specified cap. The Trustees also considered fees charged by CSIM to other mutual funds and to other types of accounts, such as exchange-traded funds and separately managed accounts, but, with respect to such other types of accounts, accorded less weight to such comparisons due to the different legal, regulatory, compliance and operating features of mutual funds as compared to these other types of accounts, and the unique insurance dedicated distribution arrangements of the Fund as compared to other funds managed by CSIM. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the expenses of the Fund are reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.
Profitability. With regard to profitability, the Trustees considered the compensation flowing to CSIM and its affiliates, directly or indirectly. In this connection, the Trustees reviewed management’s profitability analyses, together with certain commentary thereon from an independent accounting firm. The Trustees also considered any other benefits derived by CSIM from its relationship with the Fund, such as whether, by virtue of its management of the Fund, CSIM obtains investment
information or other research resources that aid it in providing advisory services to other clients. The Trustees considered whether the compensation and profitability with respect to the Fund under the Agreement and other service agreements were reasonable and justified in light of the quality of all services rendered to the Fund by CSIM and its affiliates. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the profitability of CSIM is reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.
Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered the existence of any economies of scale and whether those are passed along to the Fund’s shareholders through a graduated investment advisory fee schedule or other means, including any fee waivers by CSIM and its affiliates. In this regard, and consistent with their consideration of Fund expenses, the Trustees considered that CSIM and Schwab have previously committed resources to minimize the effects on shareholders of diseconomies of scale during periods when Fund assets were relatively small through their contractual expense waivers. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the Fund obtains reasonable benefit from economies of scale.
In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information or factor that was all important or controlling. Based on the Trustees’ deliberation and their evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the Agreement with respect to the Fund and concluded that the compensation under the Agreement with respect to the Fund is fair and reasonable in light of such services and expenses and such other matters as the Trustees have considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment.

Investment Adviser: Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM)

The Investment Environment
For the six-month reporting period ended June 30, 2015, yields on taxable money market securities remained low as short-term interest rates hovered near zero percent. Speculation continued around the timing of a potential short-term rate increase, which contributed to heightened market uncertainty and volatility. Outside the U.S., many central banks, including the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan, increased measures aimed at stimulating economic growth and combatting deflation. These divergent policies between the U.S. and other central banks impacted bond markets, currencies, and equities, adding to global market volatility.
In related industry matters, in July 2014, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released final amendments to the rules that govern money market funds. We believe that these amendments strike the right balance of preserving an important cash management tool for investors, while protecting investors from the possibility of significant money market fund redemptions during a crisis. In response, CSIM is currently evaluating options to provide the best outcome and least disruptions to the portfolio’s shareholders when the new SEC regulations go into effect.
Nothing in this report represents a recommendation of a security by the investment adviser.

2Schwab Money Market Portfolio

Schwab Money Market Portfolio
The Schwab Money Market Portfolio (the portfolio) seeks the highest current income consistent with stability of capital and liquidity. To pursue its goal, the portfolio invests in high-quality, short-term money market investments issued by U.S. and foreign issuers. Examples of these securities include commercial paper, certificates of deposit, repurchase agreements, variable-and floating-rate debt securities, and obligations issued by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities. For more information concerning the portfolio’s investment objective, strategy, and risks, please see the portfolio’s prospectus.
Since December 2008, when the Federal Reserve (the Fed) first cut short-term interest rates to present-day levels, yields on money market securities have remained historically low—a trend that continued throughout the period. As a result, and to help the portfolio maintain a positive net yield, the portfolio’s investment adviser and its affiliates voluntarily waived certain fees or expenses during the reporting period.1 For more information about the portfolio’s yield and other important characteristics, please review the charts and footnotes that follow this discussion.
Market Highlights.  For the six-month reporting period ended June 30, 2015, the global economic outlook began to show signs of improvement. Outside the U.S., several central banks increased stimulative measures, though uncertainty remained around Greece and the eurozone. In the U.S., the economy continued to rebound, despite weak economic data in early 2015, and the Fed left short-term interest rates historically low. The Fed also continued to perform daily test operations of its Reverse Repurchase Facility, which has essentially helped establish a floor for short-term interest rates through the sale and repurchase of securities. This program has become an important source of taxable money market supply and serves as another tool to help the Fed manage its policies. The program is set to continue through January 29, 2016.
Available supply of money market securities largely remains constrained as stricter regulatory mandates have increased the costs of selling short-term securities for many issuers. These higher costs and persistently low interest rates have instead encouraged the issuance of longer-term securities, most of which are not money market eligible.
Performance, Positioning, and Strategies.   Throughout the reporting period, the portfolio’s investment adviser remained focused on ensuring liquidity and stability of capital as market conditions evolved. As the timing for a rise in rates remained uncertain, the weighted average maturity (WAM) of the portfolio was relatively unchanged versus the prior reporting period, remaining, on average, in the upper 40-day range. Although rates on short-term government securities remained low, a steeper money market curve and the availability of the Fed’s Reverse Repurchase Facility resulted in generally more stable short-term markets.
As noted above, the portfolio continued to waive certain fees and expenses in order to maintain a 0.01% yield.

1 The investment adviser and its affiliates may recapture expenses or fees they waived under a voluntary yield waiver until the third anniversary of the end of the fiscal year in which such waiver occurs, subject to certain limitations. For more information on the potential impact of such recapture on future yields, see financial note 4.
2 As shown in the Portfolio Holdings section of the shareholder report.
3 Money funds must maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity of no longer than 60 days and cannot invest in any security whose effective maturity is longer than 397 days (approximately 13 months).
4 Tier 1 securities are rated in one of the two highest rating categories by two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSROs”), or by one if only one NRSRO has rated the securities, or, if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality by CSIM pursuant to guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees. Money market fund shares and U.S. government securities are also Tier 1 securities. The portfolio uses NRSRO credit ratings from Standard & Poor’s Corp., Moody’s Investors Service, Fitch Ratings, and/or DBRS. The portfolio may use different ratings provided by other rating agencies for purposes of determining compliance with the portfolio’s investment policies. The portfolio itself has not been rated by an independent credit rating agency.

1 Portfolio yields do not reflect the additional fees and expenses imposed by the insurance company under the variable insurance product contract. If those contract fees and expenses were included, the yields would be less than those shown. Please refer to the variable insurance product prospectus for a complete listing of these expenses.
2 The investment adviser and its affiliates have voluntarily waived expenses to maintain a positive net yield for the portfolio (voluntary yield waiver). Without the voluntary yield waiver, the portfolio’s yield would have been lower. The voluntary yield waiver added 0.39% to the seven-day yield. Please see financial note 4 for additional details.

Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
Examples for a $1,000 Investment

The portfolio incurs ongoing costs, such as 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 January 1, 2015 and held through June 30, 2015.
The Actual Return line in the table below provides 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 the portfolio under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”
The Hypothetical Return line in the table below provides 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 the portfolio 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.

1. Business Structure of the Fund:
Schwab Money Market Portfolio (the “fund”) is a series of Schwab Annuity Portfolios (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 fund discussed in this report, which is highlighted:
Schwab Annuity Portfolios (organized January 21, 1994)
Schwab Money Market Portfolio
Schwab MarketTrack Growth Portfolio II
Schwab S&P 500 Index Portfolio
Schwab VIT Balanced Portfolio
Schwab VIT Balanced with Growth Portfolio
Schwab VIT Growth Portfolio
    
The 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 fund's Board of Trustees (the “Board”) may authorize the issuance of as many shares as necessary.
The fund is intended as an investment vehicle for variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies to be offered by separate accounts of participating life insurance companies and for pension and retirement plans qualified under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. At June 30, 2015, 100% of the fund's shares were held through three insurance companies. Subscriptions and redemptions of these insurance separate accounts could have a material impact on the fund.
The fund maintains its own account for purposes of holding assets and accounting, and is considered a separate entity for tax purposes. Within its account, the 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 fund uses in its preparation of financial statements. The fund follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies. The accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
(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 fund to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers and other market sources to determine fair value.
Securities in the fund are valued at amortized cost (which approximates market value) as permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. In the event that security valuations do not approximate market value, securities may be fair valued as determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. 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 fund pursuant to the valuation procedures.
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the fund discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the significant inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). If inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. If the

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
fund determines 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.
•  Underlying funds: Mutual funds are valued at their respective NAVs.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
•  Level 1quoted prices in active markets for identical securitiesInvestments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equities. Investments in mutual funds are valued daily at their NAVs, which are classified as Level 1 prices, without consideration to the classification level of the specific investments held by an underlying fund.
•  Level 2other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but whose values are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified as Level 2 prices. These generally include U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, certain mortgage products, less liquid listed equities, and state, municipal and provincial obligations. 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. Securities held by money funds operating under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act are valued at amortized cost which approximates current market value and are considered to be valued using Level 2 inputs.
•  Level 3significant unobservable inputs (including the fund's 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 fund uses one or more valuation techniques for which sufficient and reliable data is available. The inputs used by the fund 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 fund in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the fund due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the fund's 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.
(b) Accounting Policies for certain Portfolio Investments (if held):
Repurchase Agreements: In a repurchase agreement, a fund buys a security from another party (the “counter-party”), usually a financial institution, with the agreement that it be sold back in the future. Repurchase agreements subject a fund to counter-party risk, meaning that the fund could lose money if the other party fails to perform under the terms of the agreement. The fund mitigates this risk by ensuring that a fund's repurchase agreements are collateralized by cash, U.S. government securities, fixed income securities, equity securities or other types of securities. These risks are magnified to the extent that a repurchase agreement is secured by collateral other than cash and government securities, such as debt securities, equity securities and high yield securities that are rated below investment grade. All collateral is held by the fund's custodian (or, with multi-party agreements, the agent's bank) and is monitored daily to ensure that its market value is at least equal to the repurchase price under the agreement. In the event of a default by the counter-party, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed or limited and the value of the collateral may decline. Investments in repurchase agreements are also based on a review of the credit quality of the repurchase agreement counter-party.
As of June 30, 2015, the fund had investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $26,713,606 as disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings and the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at period end.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
Delayed-Delivery Transactions: The fund 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 fund 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 fund will earmark or segregate appropriate liquid assets to cover its 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 purchase settlement 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 and accretes discounts 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 fund declares distributions from net investment income, if any, every day it is open for business. These distributions are paid out to the insurance company separate accounts once a month. The fund makes distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, once a year.
(g) Custody Credit:
The fund has an arrangement with its custodian bank, State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), under which the fund may receive a credit for its uninvested cash balance to offset its custody fees and accounting fees. The credit amounts, if any, are disclosed in the Statement of Operations as a reduction to the fund’s 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 fund intends to meet federal income and excise tax requirements for regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income and realized net capital gains, if any, to the participating insurance company's (shareholders) separate accounts each year. As long as the fund meets the tax requirements, it is not required to pay federal income tax.
(j) Indemnification:
Under the fund’s organizational documents, the officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business the fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide general indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the fund. However, based on experience, the fund expects the risk of loss attributable to these arrangements to be remote.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
(k) New Accounting Pronouncements:
In June 2014, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-11, Topic 860 Transfers and Servicing — Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings and Disclosures, was issued and is effective for interim periods beginning after March 15, 2015 and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The ASU modifies accounting guidance and enhances disclosure requirements for repurchase agreement and securities lending transactions. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-11 may have on the fund’s financial statement disclosures.
3. Risk Factors:
Investment Risk. An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of a shareholder's investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund.
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rates rise and fall over time. As with any investment whose yield reflects current interest rates, the fund's yield will change over time. During periods when interest rates are low, the fund's yield (and total return) also will be low. Because interest rates in the United States are at, or near, historically low levels, a change in a central bank’s monetary policy or improving economic conditions may result in an increase in interest rates. A sudden or unpredictable rise in interest rates may cause volatility in the market and may decrease liquidity in the money market securities markets, making it more difficult for the fund to sell its money market 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 the fund’s money market securities holdings. In addition, to the extent the fund makes any reimbursement payments to the investment adviser and/or its affiliates, the fund’s yield would be lower.
Repurchase Agreements Risk. When the fund enters into a repurchase agreement, the fund is exposed to the risk that the counter-party will not fulfill its contractual obligation. In a repurchase agreement, there exists the risk that, when the fund buys a security from a counter-party that agrees to repurchase the security at an agreed upon price (usually higher) and time, the counter-party will not repurchase the security. These risks are magnified to the extent that a repurchase agreement is secured by collateral other than cash and government securities, such as debt securities, equity securities and high yield securities that are rated below investment grade (“Alternative Collateral”). High yield securities that are used as Alternative Collateral are subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risk, and are considered primarily speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to make principal and interest payments. Alternative Collateral may be subject to greater price volatility and may be more volatile or less liquid than other types of collateral, increasing the risk that the fund will be unable to recover fully in the event of a counter-party’s default.
Credit Risk. The fund is subject to the risk that a decline in the credit quality of a fund investment could cause the fund to lose money or underperform. The fund could lose money if the issuer of a fund investment fails to make timely principal or interest payments or if a guarantor, liquidity provider or counter-party of a fund investment fails to honor its obligations. Even though the fund's investments in repurchase agreements are collateralized at all times, there is some risk to the fund if the other party should default on its obligations and the fund is delayed or prevented from recovering or disposing of the collateral. Negative perceptions of the ability of an issuer, guarantor, liquidity provider or counter-party to make payments or otherwise honor its obligations, as applicable, could also cause the price of that investment to decline. The credit quality of the fund’s portfolio holdings can change rapidly in certain market environments and any downgrade or default on the part of a single fund investment could cause the fund’s share price or yield to fall.
Many of the U.S. government securities that the fund invests in are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government, which means they are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. Although maintained in conservatorship by the Federal Housing Finance Agency since September 2008, Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FHLMC) maintain only lines of credit with the U.S. Treasury. The Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLB) maintain limited access to credit lines from the U.S. Treasury. Other securities, such as obligations issued by the Federal Farm Credit Banks Funding Corporation (FFCB), are supported solely by the credit of the issuer. There can be no assurance that the U.S. government will provide financial support to securities of its agencies and instrumentalities if it is not obligated to do so under law. Also, any government guarantees on securities a fund owns do not extend to shares of the fund itself.
15

Schwab Money Market Portfolio
Financial Notes, unaudited (continued)
3. Risk Factors (continued):
Credit Enhancement and Liquidity Support Risk. The fund may invest in securities with credit and/or liquidity supports provided by a bank, or other financial institution and the existence and nature of such enhancements may be a significant factor in the investment adviser’s decision-making process. Generally, these enhancements are employed by the issuers of the securities to reduce credit risk and provide enhanced or back-up liquidity for the purchaser, such as the fund. Adverse developments affecting these banks and financial institutions could therefore have a negative effect on the value of the fund’s holdings. For example, a rating agency downgrade of a credit or liquidity enhancement provider may adversely affect the value of securities held by the fund. Any decline in the value of the securities held by the fund could cause the fund’s share price or yield to fall. To the extent that a portion of the fund’s underlying investments are enhanced by the same bank or financial institution, these risks may be increased.
Foreign Investment Risk. Although the fund may invest only in U.S. dollar denominated securities, the fund's investments in securities of foreign issuers or securities with credit or liquidity enhancements provided by foreign entities may involve certain risks that are greater than those associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers or securities with credit or liquidity enhancements provided by U.S. entities. These include risks of adverse changes in foreign economic, political, regulatory and other conditions; the imposition of economic sanctions or other government restrictions; differing accounting, auditing, financial reporting and legal standards and practices; differing securities market structures; and higher transaction costs. In addition, sovereign risk, or the risk that a government may become unwilling or unable to meet its loan obligations or guarantees, could increase the credit risk of financial institutions connected to that particular country.
Management Risk. Any actively managed mutual fund is subject to the risk that its investment adviser will select investments or allocate assets in a manner that could cause the fund to underperform or otherwise not meet its objective. The fund’s investment adviser applies its own investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the fund, but there can be no guarantee that they will produce the desired results. The investment adviser’s maturity decisions will also affect the fund’s yield, and in unusual circumstances potentially could affect its share price. To the extent that the investment adviser anticipates interest rate trends imprecisely, the fund’s yield at times could lag those of other money market funds.
Liquidity Risk. Liquidity risk exists when particular investments are difficult to purchase or sell. The market for certain investments may become illiquid due to specific adverse changes in the conditions of a particular issuer or under adverse market or economic conditions independent of the issuer, including, for example, during periods of rising interest rates. In addition, dealer inventories of certain securitiesan indication of the ability of dealers to engage in “market making”are at, or near, historic lows in relation to market size, which could potentially lead to decreased liquidity. The fund’s investments in illiquid securities may reduce the returns of the fund because it may be unable to sell the illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price. Further, transactions in illiquid securities may entail transaction costs that are higher than those for transactions in liquid securities.
Redemption Risk. The fund may experience periods of heavy redemptions that could cause the fund to liquidate its assets at inopportune times or at a loss or depressed value, particularly during periods of declining or illiquid markets. Redemptions by a few large investors in the fund may have a significant adverse effect on the fund’s ability to maintain a stable $1.00 share price. In the event any money market fund fails to maintain a stable net asset value, other money market funds, including the fund, could face a market-wide risk of increased redemption pressures, potentially jeopardizing the stability of their $1.00 share prices.
Regulatory Risk. The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) recently adopted changes to the rules that govern SEC-registered money market funds. These rule changes include: (i) allowing money market funds to impose liquidity fees and redemption gates when their liquidity levels fall below certain thresholds; (ii) requiring money market funds that do not qualify as “retail” or “government”money market funds to operate with a floating share price; (iii) imposing new disclosure and reporting requirements; and (iv) enhancing portfolio diversification requirements. The compliance dates for these rule changes vary, ranging from mid-2015 for certain new reporting requirements to October 2016 for the new liquidity fees, redemption gates and floating share price requirements. The SEC has also proposed additional rule changes that, if adopted, will impact how SEC-registered money market funds may use nationally recognized statistical rating organizations for the purposes of determining the credit quality of their investments. These regulatory developments may affect the fund’s investment strategies, performance, yield and operating expenses. As of the date of this prospectus, the fund’s investment adviser is evaluating the potential impact of these regulatory changes and will provide updates as future compliance deadlines approach.

3. Risk Factors (continued):
Money Market Risk. Although a money market fund seeks to maintain a stable $1 NAV, it is possible to lose money by investing in a money market fund. In addition, a money market fund is not designed to offer capital appreciation. In exchange for their emphasis on stability and liquidity, money market instruments may offer lower long term performance than stock or bond instruments.
Please refer to the fund’s prospectus for a more complete description of the principal risks of investing in the fund.
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 the fund's investment adviser and administrator pursuant to an Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement between CSIM and the trust.
For its advisory and administrative services to the fund, CSIM is entitled to receive an annual fee, payable monthly, based on a percentage of the fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
Average Daily Net Assets  
First $1 billion 0.35%
More than $1 billion but not exceeding $10 billion 0.32%
More than $10 billion but not exceeding $20 billion 0.30%
More than $20 billion but not exceeding $40 billion 0.27%
Over $40 billion 0.25%
Contractual Expense Limitation
CSIM and its affiliates have made an additional agreement with the fund, for so long as CSIM serves as the investment adviser to the fund, 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 0.50% through April 29, 2017.
During the period ended June 30, 2015, the fund waived $207,276 in expenses of which $11,935 was waived in accordance with the contractual expense limitation agreement noted above and the remainder to maintain a positive net yield as noted below.
Voluntary Yield Waiver/Reimbursement
In addition to the contractual expense limitation agreement noted above, CSIM and its affiliates also may waive and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to maintain a positive net yield for the fund. CSIM and its affiliates may recapture from the fund any of these expenses or fees they have waived and/or reimbursed until the third anniversary of the end of the fiscal year in which such waiver and/or reimbursement occurs, subject to certain limitations. These reimbursement payments by the fund to CSIM and its affiliates are considered “non-routine expenses” and are not subject to any net operating expense limitations in effect at the time of such payment. This recapture could negatively affect the fund’s future yield. There were no prior year amounts recaptured. As of June 30, 2015, the balance of recoupable waivers is as follows:
Expiration Date    
December 31, 2015   December 31, 2016   December 31, 2017   December 31, 2018   Total
$464,329   $472,070   $450,302   $195,342   $1,582,043
As of December 31, 2014, the fund had recoupable waivers expire in the amount of $495,734.
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the fund may enter into interfund borrowing and lending transactions with other funds in the Fund Complex (for definition refer to Trustees and Officers section). All loans are for temporary or emergency purposes 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 fund 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 on the fund’s Statement of Operations. For information regarding the trustees, please refer to the Trustees and Officers table at the end of this report.
6. Borrowing from Banks:
The fund has 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 fund pays interest on the amount it borrows at rates that are negotiated periodically. The fund also pays an annual fee to State Street for the committed line of credit.
There were no borrowings from the lines of credit by the fund during the period. However, the fund may have utilized its overdraft facility and incurred an interest expense, which is disclosed on the fund's Statement of Operations, if any. The interest expense is determined based on a negotiated rate above the current Federal Funds Rate.
7. Federal Income Taxes:
Capital loss carryforwards may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. As of December 31, 2014, the fund 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 year. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the fund had no capital losses deferred and no capital loss carryforwards utilized.
As of December 31, 2014, 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 fund, and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements. The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period ended December 31, 2014, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
8. Recent Regulatory Development:
On July 23, 2014 the SEC passed new amendments to the rules governing money market funds. The new amendments have mandatory compliance dates, which are staggered over the next two years. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the new amendments and their impact to the fund's future financial statements and related disclosures.
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.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval

The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) requires that initial approval of, as well as the continuation of, a fund’s investment advisory agreement must be specifically approved (1) by the vote of the trustees or by a vote of the shareholders of the fund, and (2) by the vote of a majority of the trustees who are not parties to the investment advisory agreement or “interested persons” of any party (the “Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. In connection with such approvals, the fund’s trustees must request and evaluate, and the investment adviser is required to furnish, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the investment advisory agreement.
The Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”, as appropriate) calls and holds one or more meetings each year that are dedicated, in whole or in part, to considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreement between Schwab Annuity Portfolios (the “Trust”) and Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (“CSIM”) (the “Agreement”) with respect to the existing funds in the Trust, including Schwab Money Market Portfolio (the “Fund”), and to review certain other agreements pursuant to which CSIM provides investment advisory services to certain other registered investment companies. In preparation for the meeting(s), the Board requests and reviews a wide variety of materials provided by CSIM, including information about CSIM’s affiliates, personnel and operations. The Board also receives extensive data provided by third parties. This information is in addition to the detailed information about the Fund that the Board reviews during the course of each year, including information that relates to Fund operations and Fund performance. The Independent Trustees receive advice from independent counsel to the Independent Trustees, including a memorandum regarding the responsibilities of trustees for the approval of investment advisory agreements. In addition, the Independent Trustees meet in executive session outside the presence of Fund management and participate in question and answer sessions with representatives of CSIM.
The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered information specifically relating to its consideration of the continuance of the Agreement with respect to the Fund at meetings held on April 29, 2015, and June 1, 2015, and approved the renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund for an additional one year term at the meeting held on June 1, 2015. The Board’s approval of the Agreement with respect to the Fund was based on
consideration and evaluation of a variety of specific factors discussed at these meetings and at prior meetings, including:
1. the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Agreement, including the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund;
2. the Fund’s investment performance and how it compared to that of certain other comparable mutual funds;
3. the Fund’s expenses and how those expenses compared to those of certain other comparable mutual funds;
4. the profitability of CSIM and its affiliates, including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), with respect to the Fund, including both direct and indirect benefits accruing to CSIM and its affiliates; and
5. the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels in the Agreement reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by CSIM to the Fund and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund. In this regard, the Trustees evaluated, among other things, CSIM’s personnel, experience, track record and compliance program. The Trustees also considered Schwab’s wide range of products, services, and channel alternatives such as investment research tools and Internet access and an array of account features that benefit the Fund and certain of its shareholders. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by CSIM to the Fund and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.
Fund Performance. The Board considered the Fund’s performance in determining whether to renew the Agreement with respect to the Fund. Specifically, the Trustees considered the Fund’s performance relative to a peer category of other mutual funds and appropriate indices/benchmarks, in light of total return and market trends. As part of this review, the Trustees considered the composition of the peer category, selection criteria and the reputation of the third party who prepared the peer category analysis. In evaluating the performance of the Fund, the Trustees considered both risk and shareholder risk expectations for the Fund and the appropriateness of the benchmark used to compare the performance of the Fund. The Trustees further considered the level of Fund performance in the context of its review of Fund expenses
19

and adviser profitability discussed below. Following such evaluation the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the performance of the Fund supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.
Fund Expenses. With respect to the Fund’s expenses, the Trustees considered the rate of compensation called for by the Agreement, and the Fund’s net operating expense ratio, in each case, in comparison to those of other comparable mutual funds, such peer groups and comparisons having been selected and calculated by an independent third party. The Trustees considered the effects of CSIM’s and Schwab’s historical practice of waiving management and other fees to prevent total fund expenses from exceeding a specified cap. The Trustees also considered fees charged by CSIM to other mutual funds and to other types of accounts, such as exchange-traded funds and separately managed accounts, but, with respect to such other types of accounts, accorded less weight to such comparisons due to the different legal, regulatory, compliance and operating features of mutual funds as compared to these other types of accounts, and the unique insurance dedicated distribution arrangements of the Fund as compared to other funds managed by CSIM. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the expenses of the Fund are reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.
Profitability. With regard to profitability, the Trustees considered the compensation flowing to CSIM and its affiliates, directly or indirectly. In this connection, the Trustees reviewed management’s profitability analyses, together with certain commentary thereon from an independent accounting firm. The Trustees also considered any other benefits derived by CSIM from its relationship with the Fund, such as whether, by virtue of its management of the Fund, CSIM obtains investment information or other research resources that aid it in providing advisory services to other clients. The Trustees
considered whether the compensation and profitability with respect to the Fund under the Agreement and other service agreements were reasonable and justified in light of the quality of all services rendered to the Fund by CSIM and its affiliates. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the profitability of CSIM is reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.
Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered the existence of any economies of scale and whether those are passed along to the Fund’s shareholders through a graduated investment advisory fee schedule or other means, including any fee waivers by CSIM and its affiliates. In this regard, and consistent with their consideration of Fund expenses, the Trustees considered that CSIM and Schwab have previously committed resources to minimize the effects on shareholders of diseconomies of scale during periods when Fund assets were relatively small through their contractual expense waivers. For example, such diseconomies of scale may particularly affect newer funds or funds with investment strategies that are from time to time out of favor, but shareholders may benefit from the continued availability of such funds at subsidized expense levels. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the Fund obtains reasonable benefit from economies of scale.
In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information or factor that was all important or controlling. Based on the Trustees’ deliberation and their evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the Agreement with respect to the Fund and concluded that the compensation under the Agreement with respect to the Fund is fair and reasonable in light of such services and expenses and such other matters as the Trustees have considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment.

The Investment Environment
U.S. equities generated modest performances for the six-month reporting period ended June 30, 2015, with the S&P 500 Index returning 1.2%. Despite weaker-than-expected economic data in early 2015, continued low short-term interest rates and the stabilization of oil prices helped to support U.S. stocks. These factors, along with improvements in both the U.S. labor market and in consumer sentiment, helped to offset market volatility tied to Greece and investor concerns that the strength of the U.S. dollar would hurt some large-cap companies due to their larger percentage of sales revenue from overseas operations.
Within the S&P 500 Index, the Health Care, Consumer Discretionary, and Telecommunication sectors were some of the better performers, while the Utilities, Energy, and Industrials sectors underperformed by comparison.

Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
Examples for a $1,000 Investment

The portfolio incurs ongoing costs, such as 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 January 1, 2015 and held through June 30, 2015.
The Actual Return line in the table below provides 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 the portfolio under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”
The Hypothetical Return line in the table below provides 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 the portfolio 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.

1. Business Structure of the Fund:
Schwab S&P 500 Index Portfolio (the “fund”) is a series of Schwab Annuity Portfolios (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 fund discussed in this report, which is highlighted:
Schwab Annuity Portfolios (organized January 21, 1994)
Schwab Money Market Portfolio
Schwab MarketTrack Growth Portfolio II
Schwab S&P 500 Index Portfolio
Schwab VIT Balanced Portfolio
Schwab VIT Balanced with Growth Portfolio
Schwab VIT Growth Portfolio
    
The 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 fund's Board of Trustees (the “Board”) may authorize the issuance of as many shares as necessary.
The fund is intended as an investment vehicle for variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies to be offered by separate accounts of participating life insurance companies and for pension and retirement plans qualified under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. At June 30, 2015, 100% of the fund's shares were held through one insurance company. Subscriptions and redemptions of these insurance separate accounts could have a material impact on the fund.
The fund maintains its own account for purposes of holding assets and accounting, and is considered a separate entity for tax purposes. Within its account, the 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 fund uses in its preparation of financial statements. The fund follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies. The accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
(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 fund to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers and other market sources to determine fair value.
The fund values the securities in its portfolio every business day. The fund uses the following policies to value various types of securities:
•   Securities traded on an exchange or over-the-counter: Traded securities are valued at the closing value for the day, or, on days when no closing value has been reported, at halfway between the most recent bid and ask quotes. Securities that are primarily traded on foreign exchanges are valued at the official closing price or the last sales price on the exchange where the securities are principally traded with these values then translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate, unless these securities are fair valued as discussed below.
•   Securities for which no quoted value is available: The Board has adopted procedures to fair value the 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. The 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

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
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 fund pursuant to the valuation procedures.
•  Futures contracts: Futures contracts are valued at their settlement prices as of the close of their exchanges.
•   Short-term securities (60 days or less to maturity): A short-term security may be valued at its amortized cost when it approximates the security's market value.
•  Underlying funds: Mutual funds are valued at their respective NAVs.
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the fund discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the significant inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). If inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. If the fund determines that either the volume and/or level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased (from normal conditions for that asset or liability) or price quotations or observable inputs are not associated with orderly transactions, increased analysis and management judgment will be required to estimate fair value.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
•  Level 1quoted prices in active markets for identical securitiesInvestments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equities and futures contracts. Investments in mutual funds are valued daily at their NAVs, which are classified as Level 1 prices, without consideration to the classification level of the specific investments held by an underlying fund.
•  Level 2other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but whose values are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified as Level 2 prices. These generally include U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, certain mortgage products, less liquid listed equities, and state, municipal and provincial obligations. 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 3significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s 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 fund uses one or more valuation techniques for which sufficient and reliable data is available. The inputs used by the fund 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 fund in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the fund due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the fund’s 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 fund's investments as of June 30, 2015 are disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings.
(b) Accounting Policies for certain Portfolio Investments (if held):
Futures Contracts: Futures contracts are instruments that represent an agreement between two parties that obligates one party to buy, and the other party to sell, specific instruments at an agreed upon price on a stipulated future date. A fund must give the broker a deposit of cash and/or securities (initial margin) whenever it enters into a futures contract. The amount of
17

Schwab S&P 500 Index Portfolio
Financial Notes, unaudited (continued)
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
the deposit may vary from one contract to another. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contract and are accounted for as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is closed, at which time the gains or losses are realized. Futures contracts are traded publicly on exchanges, and their market value may change daily.
Securities Lending: Under the trust's Securities Lending Program, a fund (lender) may make short-term loans of its securities to another party (borrower) to generate additional revenue for the fund. The borrower pledges collateral in the form of cash, securities issued or fully guaranteed by the U.S. government or foreign governments, or letters of credit issued by a bank. Collateral at the individual loan level is required to be maintained on a daily marked-to-market basis in an amount at least equal to the current value of the securities loaned. The lending agent provides the fund with indemnification against borrower default (the borrower fails to return the security on loan) reducing the risk of loss as a result of default. The cash collateral of securities loaned is currently invested in money market portfolios operating under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. The fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of cash collateral. The terms of the securities lending agreement allow the fund to terminate any loans at any given time. Securities lending income, as disclosed in the 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. The fund retains the right to recall a security on loan. The aggregate market value of securities loaned will not at any time exceed one-third of the total assets of the fund, including collateral received from the loan (at market value computed at the time of the loan). Total 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 collateral as of June 30, 2015, if any, are disclosed in the fund's Portfolio Holdings. The value of the securities on loan and the investments of cash collateral are also disclosed in the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(c) Security Transactions:
Security transactions are recorded as of the date the order to buy or sell the security is executed. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are based on the identified costs of the securities involved.
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are reported in U.S. dollars. For assets and liabilities held on a given date, the dollar value is based on market exchange rates in effect on that date. Transactions involving foreign currencies, including purchases, sales, income receipts and expense payments, are calculated using exchange rates in effect on the transaction date. The fund does not isolate the portion of the fluctuations on investments resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates from the fluctuations in market prices of investments held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
When a fund closes out a futures contract position, it calculates the difference between the value of the position at the beginning and at the end of the contract, and records a realized gain or loss accordingly.
(d) Investment Income:
Interest income is recorded as it accrues. Dividends and distributions from portfolio securities and underlying funds are recorded on the date they are effective (the ex-dividend date), although the fund records certain foreign security dividends on the day it learns of the ex-dividend date. Any distributions from underlying funds are recorded in accordance with the character of the distributions as designated by the underlying funds.
(e) Expenses:
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 fund makes distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, once a year.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
(g) Accounting Estimates:
The accounting policies described in this report conform to GAAP. Notwithstanding this, shareholders should understand that in order to follow these principles, fund management has to make estimates and assumptions that affect the information reported in the financial statements. It’s possible that once the results are known, they may turn out to be different from these estimates and these differences may be material.
(h) Federal Income Taxes:
The fund intends to meet federal income and excise tax requirements for regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income and realized net capital gains, if any, to the participating insurance company's (shareholders) separate accounts each year. As long as the fund meets the tax requirements, it is not required to pay federal income tax.
(i) Indemnification:
Under the fund’s organizational documents, the officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business the fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide general indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the fund. However, based on experience, the fund expects the risk of loss attributable to these arrangements to be remote.
(j) New Accounting Pronouncements:
In June 2014, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-11, Topic 860 Transfers and Servicing — Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings and Disclosures, was issued and is effective for interim periods beginning after March 15, 2015 and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The ASU modifies accounting guidance and enhances disclosure requirements for repurchase agreement and securities lending transactions. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-11 may have on the fund’s financial statement disclosures.
3. Risk Factors:
Investment Risk. Investing in the fund may involve certain risks, as discussed in the fund’s prospectus, including, but not limited to, those described below. Any of these risks could cause an investor to lose money.
Market Risk. Equity markets rise and fall daily. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of an investment in the fund will fluctuate, which means that an investor could lose money.
Equity Risk. The prices of equity securities rise and fall daily. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, industries or the securities market as a whole. In addition, equity markets tend to move in cycles, which may cause stock prices to fall over short or extended periods of time.
Investment Style Risk. The fund primarily follows the large-cap portion of the U.S. stock market, as measured by the index. It follows these stocks during upturns as well as downturns. Because of its indexing strategy, the fund does not take steps to reduce market exposure or to lessen the effects of a declining market. In addition, because of the fund's expenses, the fund's performance is normally below that of the index.
A significant percentage of the index may be composed of securities in a single industry or sector of the economy. If the fund is focused in an industry or sector, it may present more risks than if it were broadly diversified over numerous industries and sectors of the economy.
Tracking Error Risk. As an index fund, the fund seeks to track the performance of its comparative index, although it may not be successful in doing so. The divergence between the performance of a fund and its index, positive or negative, is called “tracking error.” Tracking error can be caused by many factors and it may be significant. For example, a fund may not invest in certain securities in the index, or match the securities’ weightings to the index, due to regulatory, operational, custodial or liquidity constraints; corporate transactions; asset valuations; transaction costs and timing; tax considerations; and index rebalancing, which may result in tracking error.
19

Schwab S&P 500 Index Portfolio
Financial Notes, unaudited (continued)
3. Risk Factors (continued):
Large Cap Risk. Although the S&P 500 Index encompasses stocks from many different sectors of the economy, its performance primarily reflects that of large-cap stocks, which tend to go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. As a result, during a period when these stocks fall behind other types of investment — bonds or mid- or small-cap stocks, for instance — the fund’s performance also will lag those investments.
Concentration Risk. To the extent that the fund’s or the index’s portfolio is concentrated in the securities of issuers in a particular market, industry, group of industries, sector, or asset class, the fund may be adversely affected by the performance of those securities, may be subject to increased price volatility and may be more susceptible to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory occurrences affecting that market, industry, group of industries, sector, or asset class.
Derivatives Risk. The fund’s use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments and could cause the 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 large impact on the fund.
Liquidity Risk. A particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell. The fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price.
Security Lending Risk. Securities lending risk 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.
Lack of Governmental Insurance or Guarantee. An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency.
Please refer to the fund’s prospectus for a more complete description of the principal risks of investing in the fund.
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 the fund's investment adviser and administrator pursuant to an Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement between CSIM and the trust.
For its advisory and administrative services to the fund, CSIM is entitled to receive an annual fee, payable monthly, based on a percentage of the fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
Average Daily Net Assets  
First $500 million 0.15%
More than $500 million but not exceeding $5 billion 0.09%
More than $5 billion but not exceeding $10 billion 0.08%
Over $10 billion 0.07%
CSIM and its affiliates have made an additional agreement with the fund, for so long as CSIM serves as the investment adviser to the fund, 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 to 0.28% through April 29, 2017.
The fund may engage in certain transactions involving affiliates. For instance, the fund may own shares of The Charles Schwab Corporation if that company is included in its index. Below is the summary of investment activities involving The Charles Schwab Corporation shares owned by the fund during the report period:

4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions (continued):
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the fund may enter into interfund borrowing and lending transactions with other funds in the Fund Complex (for definition refer to Trustees and Officers section). All loans are for temporary or emergency purposes 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 fund 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 on the fund’s Statement of Operations. For information regarding the trustees, please refer to the Trustees and Officers table at the end of this report.
6. Borrowing from Banks:
The fund has access to custodian overdraft facilities, a committed line of credit of $150 million with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), an uncommitted line of credit of $100 million with Bank of America, N.A. and an uncommitted line of credit of $50 million with Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. The fund pays interest on the amounts it borrows at rates that are negotiated periodically. The fund also pays an annual fee to State Street for the committed line of credit.
There were no borrowings from the lines of credit by the fund during the period. However, the fund may have utilized its overdraft facility and incurred an interest expense, which is disclosed on the fund's 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 June 30, 2015, purchases and sales/maturities of securities (excluding short-term obligations) were as follows:
Purchases of Securities   Sales/Maturities of Securities
$14,242,998   $4,473,501
8. Derivatives:
The fund entered into equity index futures contracts during the report period. The fund invested in futures contracts to equitize available cash. The fair value and variation margin for futures contracts held at June 30, 2015 are presented on the Portfolio Holdings and Statement of Assets and Liabilities, respectively. The net realized and change in unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts are presented on the Statement of Operations. Refer to financial note 2(b) for the fund’s accounting policies with respect to futures contracts and financial note 3 for disclosures concerning the risks of investing in futures contracts. During the period, the month-end average contract values of futures contracts held by the fund was $1,716,066 and the month-end average number of contracts held was 17.

9. Federal Income Taxes:
Capital loss carryforwards may be used to offset future realized capital gains, for federal income tax purposes. As of December 31, 2014, the fund had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future net capital gains before the expiration date as follows:
Expiration Date  
December 31, 2016 $2,623,397
December 31, 2017 1,365,160
December 31, 2018 257,470
Total $4,246,027
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 year. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the fund had capital losses deferred of $1,247,083 and capital loss carryforwards utilized of $1,157,395.
As of December 31, 2014, 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 fund, and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements. The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period ended December 31, 2014, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
10. 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.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval

The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) requires that initial approval of, as well as the continuation of, a fund’s investment advisory agreement must be specifically approved (1) by the vote of the trustees or by a vote of the shareholders of the fund, and (2) by the vote of a majority of the trustees who are not parties to the investment advisory agreement or “interested persons” of any party (the “Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. In connection with such approvals, the fund’s trustees must request and evaluate, and the investment adviser is required to furnish, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the investment advisory agreement.
The Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”, as appropriate) calls and holds one or more meetings each year that are dedicated, in whole or in part, to considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreement between Schwab Annuity Portfolios (the “Trust”) and Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (“CSIM”) (the “Agreement”) with respect to the existing funds in the Trust, including Schwab S&P 500 Index Portfolio (the “Fund”), and to review certain other agreements pursuant to which CSIM provides investment advisory services to certain other registered investment companies. In preparation for the meeting(s), the Board requests and reviews a wide variety of materials provided by CSIM, including information about CSIM’s affiliates, personnel and operations. The Board also receives extensive data provided by third parties. This information is in addition to the detailed information about the Fund that the Board reviews during the course of each year, including information that relates to Fund operations and Fund performance. The Independent Trustees receive advice from independent counsel to the Independent Trustees, including a memorandum regarding the responsibilities of trustees for the approval of investment advisory agreements. In addition, the Independent Trustees meet in executive session outside the presence of Fund management and participate in question and answer sessions with representatives of CSIM.
The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered information specifically relating to its consideration of the continuance of the Agreement with respect to the Fund at meetings held on April 29, 2015, and June 1, 2015, and approved the renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund for an additional one year term at the meeting held on June 1, 2015. The Board’s approval of the Agreement with respect to the Fund was based on
consideration and evaluation of a variety of specific factors discussed at these meetings and at prior meetings, including:
1. the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Agreement, including the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund;
2. the Fund’s investment performance and how it compared to that of certain other comparable mutual funds;
3. the Fund’s expenses and how those expenses compared to those of certain other comparable mutual funds;
4. the profitability of CSIM and its affiliates, including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), with respect to the Fund, including both direct and indirect benefits accruing to CSIM and its affiliates; and
5. the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels in the Agreement reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by CSIM to the Fund and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund. In this regard, the Trustees evaluated, among other things, CSIM’s personnel, experience, track record and compliance program. The Trustees also considered Schwab’s wide range of products, services, and channel alternatives such as investment research tools and Internet access and an array of account features that benefit the Fund and certain of its shareholders. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by CSIM to the Fund and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.
Fund Performance. The Board considered the Fund’s performance in determining whether to renew the Agreement with respect to the Fund. Specifically, the Trustees considered the Fund’s performance relative to a peer category of other mutual funds and appropriate indices/benchmarks, in light of total return and market trends. As part of this review, the Trustees considered the composition of the peer category, selection criteria and the reputation of the third party who prepared the peer category analysis. In evaluating the performance of the Fund, the Trustees considered both risk and shareholder risk expectations for the Fund and the appropriateness of the benchmark used to compare the performance of the Fund. The Trustees further considered the level of Fund performance in the context of its review of Fund expenses
23

and adviser profitability discussed below. Following such evaluation the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the performance of the Fund supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.
Fund Expenses. With respect to the Fund’s expenses, the Trustees considered the rate of compensation called for by the Agreement, and the Fund’s net operating expense ratio, in each case, in comparison to those of other comparable mutual funds, such peer groups and comparisons having been selected and calculated by an independent third party. The Trustees considered the effects of CSIM’s and Schwab’s historical practice of waiving management and other fees to prevent total fund expenses from exceeding a specified cap. The Trustees also considered fees charged by CSIM to other mutual funds and to other types of accounts, such as exchange-traded funds and separately managed accounts, but, with respect to such other types of accounts, accorded less weight to such comparisons due to the different legal, regulatory, compliance and operating features of mutual funds as compared to these other types of accounts, and the unique insurance dedicated distribution arrangements of the Fund as compared to other funds managed by CSIM. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the expenses of the Fund are reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.
Profitability. With regard to profitability, the Trustees considered the compensation flowing to CSIM and its affiliates, directly or indirectly. In this connection, the Trustees reviewed management’s profitability analyses, together with certain commentary thereon from an independent accounting firm. The Trustees also considered any other benefits derived by CSIM from its relationship with the Fund, such as whether, by virtue of its management of the Fund, CSIM obtains investment information or other research resources that aid it in providing advisory services to other clients. The Trustees
considered whether the compensation and profitability with respect to the Fund under the Agreement and other service agreements were reasonable and justified in light of the quality of all services rendered to the Fund by CSIM and its affiliates. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the profitability of CSIM is reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.
Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered the existence of any economies of scale and whether those are passed along to the Fund’s shareholders through a graduated investment advisory fee schedule or other means, including any fee waivers by CSIM and its affiliates. In this regard, and consistent with their consideration of Fund expenses, the Trustees considered that CSIM and Schwab have previously committed resources to minimize the effects on shareholders of diseconomies of scale during periods when Fund assets were relatively small through their contractual expense waivers. For example, such diseconomies of scale may particularly affect newer funds or funds with investment strategies that are from time to time out of favor, but shareholders may benefit from the continued availability of such funds at subsidized expense levels. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the Fund obtains reasonable benefit from economies of scale.
In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information or factor that was all important or controlling. Based on the Trustees’ deliberation and their evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the Agreement with respect to the Fund and concluded that the compensation under the Agreement with respect to the Fund is fair and reasonable in light of such services and expenses and such other matters as the Trustees have considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment.

Proxy Voting Policies, Procedures and Results
A description of the proxy voting policies and procedures used to determine how to vote proxies on behalf of the funds is available without charge, upon request, by visiting the Schwab Fund’s website at www.csimfunds.com/schwabfunds_prospectus, the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, or by contacting Schwab Funds at 1-800-435-4000.
Information regarding how a fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30 is available, without charge, by visiting Schwab’s website at www.csimfunds.com/schwabfunds_prospectus or the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Investment Adviser: Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM)

The Investment Environment
For the six-month reporting period ended June 30, 2015, U.S. and international stocks generated overall positive performances. In the U.S., the Federal Reserve maintained historically low short-term interest rates, while consumer sentiment improved toward the end of the reporting period. Weaker-than-expected economic data for early 2015 surprised many investors, though the economy was able to recover in the following months. As a result, the Dow Jones U.S. Broad Stock Market Index returned 1.9%.
Outside the U.S., stocks in both developed international and emerging markets rallied over the reporting period. Geopolitical tensions subsided in many areas, though uncertainty around the Greece debt crisis and the Chinese economy contributed to market volatility. The U.S. dollar remained strong against most foreign currencies, as many central banks increased economic measures to stimulate growth and combat threats of deflation. When the U.S. dollar rises against foreign currencies, returns on overseas investments will generally be reduced in U.S. dollar terms. However, as developed international and emerging markets performed well this reporting period, returns on many of these investments were positive even when translated into U.S. dollars. Reflecting these conditions, the MSCI EAFE Index (Net)—representing the performance of developed international stocks—returned 5.5%, and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net) returned 3.0%.
U.S. bonds generated negative overall returns during the reporting period, though still outperformed international bonds. Speculation surrounding a potential short-term rate increase in the U.S. contributed to rising yields on U.S. bonds, and generally weakened demand for these securities. International bonds also generated negative returns, in part due to the strength of the U.S. dollar. The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index—representing the broad U.S. bond market—returned -0.1% for the reporting period, and the Citigroup Non-U.S. Dollar World Government Bond Index returned -5.8%.
Asset Class Performance Comparison % returns during the 6 months ended 6/30/2015    
 
Nothing in this report represents a recommendation of a security by the investment adviser.
Management views and portfolio holdings may have changed since the report date.
Index figures assume dividends and distributions were reinvested, and do not include trading and management costs, which would lower performance. Indices are unmanaged, do not incur management fees, costs and expenses, and you cannot invest in them directly. Remember that past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

1 Source for category information: Morningstar, Inc. The Morningstar Category return represents all active and index mutual funds within the category as of the report date.
2 Portfolio expenses have been partially absorbed by CSIM and its affiliates. Without these reductions, the portfolio’s returns would have been lower. Portfolio performance does not reflect the additional fees and expenses imposed by the insurance company under the variable insurance product contract. If those contract fees and expenses were included, the performance would be less than that shown. Please refer to the variable insurance product prospectus for a complete listing of these expenses.
3 As stated in the prospectus. Includes expenses of the underlying funds in which the portfolio invests. The annualized weighted average expense ratio of the underlying funds was 0.17%. Net Expense: Expenses reduced by a contractual fee waiver in effect for so long as CSIM serves as adviser to the portfolio. 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.
4 Not annualized.
5 The portfolio intends to primarily invest in affiliated Schwab exchange traded funds (ETFs) and unaffiliated third-party ETFs. The portfolio may also invest in affiliated Schwab and Laudus Funds and unaffiliated third party mutual funds (all such ETFs and mutual funds referred to as “underlying funds”). The portfolio may also invest directly in equity or fixed income securities, and money market investments to achieve its investment objectives.

Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
Examples for a $1,000 Investment

The portfolio incurs ongoing costs, such as 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 January 1, 2015 and held through June 30, 2015.
The Actual Return line in the table below provides 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 the portfolio under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”
The Hypothetical Return line in the table below provides 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 the portfolio 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.

1. Business Structure of the Fund:
Schwab VIT Balanced Portfolio (the “fund”) is a series of Schwab Annuity Portfolios (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 fund discussed in this report, which is highlighted:
Schwab Annuity Portfolios (organized January 21, 1994)
Schwab Money Market Portfolio
Schwab MarketTrack Growth Portfolio II
Schwab S&P 500 Index Portfolio
Schwab VIT Balanced Portfolio
Schwab VIT Balanced with Growth Portfolio
Schwab VIT Growth Portfolio
    
The fund is a “fund of funds” which primarily invests in affiliated Schwab exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and unaffiliated third-party ETFs. The fund may also invest in affiliated Schwab and Laudus Funds and unaffiliated third-party mutual funds (all such ETFs and mutual funds referred to as “underlying funds”). The fund may also invest directly in equity or fixed-income securities and cash equivalents, including money market securities, to achieve its investment objectives.
The 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 the fund. Each share has a par value of 1/1,000 of a cent, and the fund's Board of Trustees (the “Board”) may authorize the issuance of as many shares as necessary.
The fund is intended as an investment vehicle for variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies to be offered by separate accounts of participating life insurance companies and for pension and retirement plans qualified under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. At June 30, 2015, 100% of the fund's shares were held through one insurance company. Subscriptions and redemptions of these insurance separate accounts could have a material impact on the fund.
The fund maintains its own account for purposes of holding assets and accounting, and is considered a separate entity for tax purposes. Within its account, the 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 fund uses in its preparation of financial statements. The fund follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies. The accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
The financial statements of the fund should be read in conjunction with the underlying funds' financial statements. For more information about the underlying funds' operations and policies, please refer to those funds' semiannual and annual reports, which are filed and available on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (“SEC”) website at www.sec.gov or at the SEC's Public Reference Room in Washington D.C.
(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 fund to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers and other market sources to determine fair value.
The fund values the securities in its portfolio every business day. The fund uses the following policies to value various types of securities:
•   Underlying funds: Mutual funds are valued at their respective NAVs. ETFs traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the official closing price, if applicable.
•   Securities for which no quoted value is available: The Board has adopted procedures to fair value the 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. The fund makes fair value

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
determinations in good faith in accordance with the fund’s valuation procedures. The Pricing Committee considers a number of factors, including unobservable market inputs when arriving at fair value. The Pricing Committee may employ techniques such as the review of related or comparable assets or liabilities, related market activities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, transactional back-testing, disposition analysis and other relevant information. The Pricing Committee regularly reviews these inputs and assumptions to calibrate the valuations. Due to the subjective and variable nature of fair value pricing, there can be no assurance that a fund could obtain the fair value assigned to the security upon the sale of such security. The Board convenes on a regular basis to review fair value determinations made by the fund pursuant to the valuation procedures.
•   Short-term securities (60 days or less to maturity): A short-term security may be valued at its amortized cost when it approximates the security's market value.
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the fund discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the significant inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). If inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. If the fund determines that either the volume and/or level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased (from normal conditions for that asset or liability) or price quotations or observable inputs are not associated with orderly transactions, increased analysis and management judgment will be required to estimate fair value.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
•  Level 1quoted prices in active markets for identical securitiesInvestments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equities and ETFs. Investments in mutual funds are valued daily at their NAVs, and investments in ETFs are valued daily at the last reported sale price or the official closing price, which are classified as Level 1 prices, without consideration to the classification level of the specific investments held by an underlying fund.
•  Level 2other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but whose values are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified as Level 2 prices. These generally include U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, certain mortgage products, less liquid listed equities, and state, municipal and provincial obligations. 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 3significant unobservable inputs (including the fund's 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 fund uses one or more valuation techniques for which sufficient and reliable data is available. The inputs used by the fund 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 fund in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the fund due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the fund's 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 fund's investments as of June 30, 2015 are disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
(b) 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.
(c) Investment Income:
Interest income is recorded as it accrues. Dividends and distributions from portfolio securities and underlying funds are recorded on the date they are effective (the ex-dividend date), although the fund records certain foreign security dividends on the day it learns of the ex-dividend date. Any distributions from underlying funds are recorded in accordance with the character of the distributions as designated by the underlying funds.
(d) 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. The fund bears its share of the allocable expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests. Such expenses are reflected in the net asset values of the underlying funds.
(e) Distributions to Shareholders:
The fund makes distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, once a year.
(f) 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.
(g) Federal Income Taxes:
The fund intends to meet federal income and excise tax requirements for regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income and realized net capital gains, if any, to the participating insurance company's (shareholders) separate accounts each year. As long as the fund meets the tax requirements, it is not required to pay federal income tax.
(h) Indemnification:
Under the fund’s organizational documents, the officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business the fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide general indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the fund. However, based on experience, the fund expects the risk of loss attributable to these arrangements to be remote.
3. Risk Factors:
Investing in the fund may involve certain risks, as discussed in the fund's prospectus, including, but not limited to, those described below. Any of these risks could cause an investor to lose money.
Asset Allocation Risk. The fund is subject to asset allocation risk, which is the risk that the selection of the underlying funds and the allocation of the fund's assets among the various asset classes and market segments will cause the fund to underperform other funds with a similar investment objective.
Affiliated Fund Risk. The investment adviser’s authority to select and substitute underlying funds from a variety of affiliated and unaffiliated ETFs and mutual funds may create a conflict of interest because the fees paid to it by some underlying funds are higher than the fees paid by other underlying funds. However, the portfolio manager is a fiduciary to the fund and is legally obligated to act in the fund’s best interests when selecting underlying funds, without taking fees into consideration.
13

Schwab VIT Balanced Portfolio

3. Risk Factors (continued):
Market Risk. Equity and bond markets rise and fall daily. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of an investment in the fund will fluctuate, which means that an investor could lose money.
ETF Risk. When the fund invests in an ETF, it will bear a proportionate share of the ETF's expenses. In addition, lack of liquidity in the market for an ETF's share can result in its value being more volatile than the underlying portfolio of securities.
Underlying Fund Investment Risk. The value of an investment in the fund is based primarily on the prices of the underlying funds that the fund purchases. In turn, the price of each underlying fund is based on the value of its securities. The fund is subject to the performance and expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests. Before investing in the fund, investors should assess the risks associated with the underlying funds in which the fund may invest and the types of investments made by those underlying funds. The risks below summarize certain principal investment risks of the underlying funds that are also principal investment risks to which the fund is subject because of the fund's investment allocation in the underlying funds and the underlying funds' asset allocation.
•   Equity Risk. The prices of equity securities rise and fall daily. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, industries or the securities market as a whole. In addition, the equity market tends to move in cycles, which may cause stock prices to fall over short or extended periods of time.
•   Large-Cap Risk. Large-cap stocks tend to go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. During a period when large-cap stocks fall behind other types of investments — bonds or mid- or small- cap stocks, for instance — an underlying fund's performance also will lag those investments.
•   Small-Cap Risk. Historically, small-cap stocks have been riskier than large- and mid-cap stocks, and their prices may move sharply, especially during market upturns and downturns. Small-cap companies may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. During a period when small-cap stocks fall behind other types of investmentsbonds or large-cap stocks, for instancean underlying fund's performance also will lag those investments.
•   Foreign Investment Risk. An underlying fund's investments in securities of foreign issuers may involve certain risks that are greater than those associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These include risks of adverse changes in foreign economic, political, regulatory and other conditions; changes in currency exchange rates or exchange control regulations (including limitations on currency movements and exchanges); the imposition of economic sanctions or other government restrictions; differing accounting, auditing, financial reporting and legal standards and practices; differing securities market structures; and higher transaction costs. These risks may negatively impact the value or liquidity of the underlying fund's investments, and could impair the underlying fund's ability to meet its investment objective or invest in accordance with its investment strategy. These risks may be heightened in connection with investments in emerging markets.
•   Emerging Market Risk. An underlying fund's investments in securities of emerging market countries may involve certain risks that are greater than those associated with investments in securities of developed countries. Emerging market countries may be more likely to experience political turmoil or rapid changes in market or economic conditions than more developed countries. Such countries often have less uniformity in accounting and reporting requirements and greater risk associated with the custody of securities. In addition, the financial stability of issuers (including governments) in emerging market countries may be more precarious than in other countries. As a result, there will tend to be an increased risk of price volatility associated with an underlying fund's investments in emerging market countries and, at times, it may be difficult to value such investments.
•   Currency Risk. As a result of an underlying fund's investments in securities denominated in, and/or receiving revenues in foreign currencies, the fund will be subject to currency risk. This is the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency hedged. In either event, the dollar value of an investment in an underlying fund would be adversely affected.
•   Growth Investing Risk. Certain of the underlying funds pursue a “growth style” of investing. Growth stocks can be volatile for several reasons. Since growth companies usually invest a high portion of earnings in their businesses, they may lack the dividends of value stocks that can cushion stock prices in a falling market. The prices of growth stocks are based largely on projections of the issuer’s future earnings and revenues. Growth stocks may also be more expensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to value or other stocks.

3. Risk Factors (continued):
•   Value Investing Risk. Certain of the underlying funds may pursue a “value style” of investing. Value investing focuses on companies whose stocks appear undervalued in light of factors such as the company’s earnings, book value, revenues or cash flow. If an underlying fund’s investment adviser’s (or sub-adviser’s) assessment of a company’s value or prospects for exceeding earnings expectations or market conditions is wrong, the underlying fund could suffer losses or produce poor performance relative to other funds. In addition, “value stocks” can continue to be undervalued by the market for long periods of time.
•   Debt Securities Risk. Bond prices generally fall when interest rates rise. Bonds with longer maturities tend to be more sensitive to this risk. Underlying fund performance also could be affected if an issuer or guarantor of a bond held by the fund fails to make timely principal or interest payments or otherwise honor its obligations. Lower-quality bonds are considered speculative with respect to their issuer's ability to make timely payments or otherwise honor their obligations. In addition, prices of lower-quality bonds tend to be more volatile than those of investment-grade bonds, and may fall based on bad news about the issuer, an industry or the overall economy.
•   Interest Rate Risk. An underlying fund’s investments in fixed income securities are subject to the risk that interest rates rise and fall over time. As with any investment whose yield reflects current interest rates, an underlying fund’s yield will change over time. During periods when interest rates are low, an underlying fund’s yield (and total return) also may be low. Changes in interest rates also may affect an underlying fund's share price: a sharp rise in interest rates could cause the underlying fund's share price to fall. The longer the underlying fund’s duration, the more sensitive to interest rate movements its share price is likely to be. Because interest rates in the United States are at, or near, historically low levels, a change in a central bank's monetary policy or improving economic conditions may result in an increase in interest rates.
•   Credit Risk. Certain of the underlying funds are subject to the risk that a decline in the credit quality of a portfolio investment could cause the underlying fund’s share price to fall. An underlying fund 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. Securities rated below investment grade (junk bonds) involve greater risk of price declines than investment grade securities due to actual or perceived changes in the issuer’s creditworthiness.
•   Prepayment and Extension Risk. An underlying fund’s investments in fixed income securities are subject to the risk that the securities may be paid off earlier or later than expected. Either situation could cause the underlying fund to hold securities paying lower-than-market rates of interest, which could hurt the underlying fund’s yield or share price.
•   U.S. Government Securities Risk. Some of the U.S. government securities that the underlying funds invest in are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, which means they are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. Certain securities such as those issued by the Federal Home Loan Banks are supported by limited lines of credit maintained by their issuers with the U.S. Treasury. Securities issued by other issuers, such as the Federal Farm Credit Banks Funding Corporation, are supported solely by the credit of the issuer. There can be no assurance that the U.S. government will provide financial support to securities of its agencies and instrumentalities if it is not obligated to do so under law. Also, any government guarantees on securities the underlying funds own do not extend to shares of the underlying funds themselves.
•   Real Estate Investment Risk. An underlying fund in which the portfolio may invest may have a policy of concentrating its investments in real estate companies and companies related to the real estate industry. Such an underlying fund is subject to risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate securities and a portfolio’s investment in such an underlying fund is subject to risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate securities and an investment in the underlying fund will be closely linked to the performance of the real estate markets. These risks include, among others, declines in the value of real estate; risks related to general and local economic conditions; possible lack of availability of mortgage funds or other limits to accessing the credit or capital markets; defaults by borrowers or tenants, particularly during an economic downturn; and changes in interest rates.
•   Real Estate Investment Trust (REITs) Risk. An underlying fund may invest in REITs. An underlying fund's investments in REITs will be subject to the risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate, including fluctuations in the value of underlying properties, defaults by borrowers or tenants, changes in interest rates and risks related to general or local economic conditions. REITs are also subject to certain additional risks. For example, equity REITs may be affected by
15

Schwab VIT Balanced Portfolio
Financial Notes, unaudited (continued)
3. Risk Factors (continued):
changes in the value of the underlying properties owned by the trusts, and mortgage REITs may be affected by the quality of any credit extended. Further, REITs may have their investments in relatively few properties, a small geographic area or a single property type. In addition, REITs have their own expenses, and the underlying fund will bear a proportionate share of those expenses.
•   Mortgage-Backed and Mortgage Pass-Through Securities Risk. Certain of the mortgage-backed securities in which an underlying fund may invest are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and there can be no assurance that the U.S. government would provide financial support where it was not obligated to do so. Mortgage-backed securities tend to increase in value less than other debt securities when interest rates decline, but are subject to similar risk of decline in market value during periods of rising interest rates. Transactions in mortgage pass-through securities primarily occur through to be announced (TBA) transactions. Default by or bankruptcy of a counterparty to a TBA transaction would expose an underlying fund to possible losses.
•   Portfolio Turnover Risk. Certain of the underlying funds may buy and sell portfolio securities actively. If they do, their portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs will rise, which may lower the underlying fund's performance and may increase the likelihood of capital gain distributions.
•   Commodity Risk. To the extent that an underlying fund invests in commodity-linked derivative instruments, it may subject the underlying fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. Also, commodity-linked investments may be more volatile and less liquid than the underlying commodity. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and other regulatory and market developments. The use of leveraged commodity-linked derivatives creates an opportunity for increased return, but also creates the possibility for a greater loss.
•  Liquidity Risk. An underlying fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price.
•   Derivatives Risk. An underlying fund's use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. An underlying fund’s use of derivatives could reduce the underlying fund’s performance, increase volatility, and could cause the underlying fund to lose more than the initial amount invested. In addition, investments in derivatives may involve leverage, which means a small percentage of assets invested in derivatives can have a disproportionately large impact on an underlying fund.
•   Management Risk. An underlying fund may be an actively managed mutual fund. An underlying fund’s adviser applies its own investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the fund, but there can be no guarantee that they will produce the desired results or cause the underlying fund to meet its objectives.
•   Investment Style Risk. Certain underlying funds seek to track the performance of various segments of the stock market, as measured by their respective indices. Such underlying funds follow these stocks during upturns as well as downturns. Because of their indexing strategy, these underlying funds do not take steps to reduce market exposure or to lessen the effects of a declining market. In addition, because of an underlying fund's expenses, the underlying fund's performance is normally below that of the index.
•   Tracking Error Risk. An underlying fund may seek to track the performance of its benchmark index, although it may not be successful in doing so. The divergence between the performance of a fund and its benchmark index, positive or negative, is called “tracking error.” Tracking error can be caused by many factors and it may be significant.
•   Concentration Risk. To the extent that an underlying fund's portfolio is concentrated in the securities of issuers in a particular market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class, the underlying fund may be adversely affected by the performance of those securities, may be subject to increased price volatility and may be more susceptible to adverse economic, market, political, or regulatory occurrences affecting that market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class.
•   Money Market Risk. Although an underlying money market fund seeks to maintain a stable $1 net asset value, it is possible to lose money by investing in a money market fund.

3. Risk Factors (continued):
Direct Investment Risk. The fund may invest directly in individual securities to maintain its allocations. The fund's direct investment in these securities is subject to the same or similar risks as an underlying fund's investment in the same securities and instruments.
Please refer to the fund’s prospectus for a more complete description of the principal risks of investing in the fund.
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 the fund's investment adviser and administrator pursuant to an Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement between CSIM and the trust.
For its advisory and administrative services to the fund, CSIM is entitled to receive an annual fee, payable monthly, equal to 0.45% of the fund’s average daily net assets.
CSIM and its affiliates have made an additional agreement with the fund, for so long as CSIM serves as the investment adviser to the fund, which may only be amended or terminated with approval of the fund's Board, to limit the total annual fund operating expenses charged, excluding interest, taxes and certain non-routine expenses of the fund to 0.58%.
The agreement to limit the fund's total expenses charged is limited to the fund's direct operating expenses and, therefore, does not apply to underlying fund fees and expenses, which are indirect expenses incurred by a fund through its investments in the underlying funds.
The fund may engage in certain transactions involving related parties. Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the fund may invest in other related ETFs and mutual funds. As of June 30, 2015, the Schwab VIT Balanced Portfolio's ownership percentages of other related funds' shares are:
Schwab U.S. Large-Cap ETF 0.2%
Schwab U.S. Small-Cap ETF 0.1%
Schwab International Equity ETF 0.1%
Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF 0.2%
Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF 0.2%
Schwab U.S. REIT ETF 0.2%
Schwab U.S. TIPS ETF 0.1%
Schwab Intermediate-Term U.S. Treasury ETF 1.6%
Schwab Value Advantage Money Fund, Institutional Prime Shares 0.1%

Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the fund may enter into interfund borrowing and lending transactions with other funds in the Fund Complex (for definition refer to Trustees and Officers section). All loans are for temporary or emergency purposes 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 fund 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 on the fund’s Statement of Operations. For information regarding the trustees, please refer to the Trustees and Officers table at the end of this report.
6. Borrowing from Banks:
The fund has access to custodian overdraft facilities, a committed line of credit of $150 million with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), an uncommitted line of credit of $100 million with Bank of America, N.A. and an uncommitted line of credit of $50 million with Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. The fund pays interest on the amounts it borrows at rates that are negotiated periodically. The fund also pays an annual fee to State Street for the committed line of credit.
There were no borrowings from the lines of credit by the fund during the period. However, the fund may have utilized its overdraft facility and incurred an interest expense, which is disclosed on the fund's Statement of Operations, if any. The interest expense is determined based on a negotiated rate above the current Federal Funds Rate.

As of December 31, 2014, 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 fund, and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements. The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period ended December 31, 2014, the fund 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.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval

The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) requires that initial approval of, as well as the continuation of, a fund’s investment advisory agreement must be specifically approved (1) by the vote of the trustees or by a vote of the shareholders of the fund, and (2) by the vote of a majority of the trustees who are not parties to the investment advisory agreement or “interested persons” of any party (the “Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. In connection with such approvals, the fund’s trustees must request and evaluate, and the investment adviser is required to furnish, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the investment advisory agreement.
The Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”, as appropriate) calls and holds one or more meetings each year that are dedicated, in whole or in part, to considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreement between Schwab Annuity Portfolios (the “Trust”) and Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (“CSIM”) (the “Agreement”) with respect to Schwab VIT Balanced Portfolio (the “Fund”), and to review certain other agreements pursuant to which CSIM provides investment advisory services to certain other registered investment companies. In preparation for the meeting(s), the Board requests and reviews a wide variety of materials provided by CSIM, including information about CSIM’s affiliates, personnel and operations. The Board also receives extensive data provided by third parties. This information is in addition to the detailed information about the Fund that the Board reviews during the course of each year, including information that relates to Fund operations and Fund performance. The Independent Trustees receive advice from independent counsel to the Independent Trustees, including a memorandum regarding the responsibilities of trustees for the approval of investment advisory agreements. In addition, the Independent Trustees meet in executive session outside the presence of Fund management and participate in question and answer sessions with representatives of CSIM.
The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered information specifically relating to its consideration of the continuance of the Agreement with respect to the Fund at meetings held on April 29, 2015, and June 1, 2015, and approved the renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund for an additional one year term at the meeting held on June 1, 2015. The Board’s approval of the Agreement with respect to the Fund was based on
consideration and evaluation of a variety of specific factors discussed at these meetings and at prior meetings, including:
1. the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Agreement, including the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund;
2. the Fund’s investment performance and how it compared to that of certain other comparable mutual funds;
3. the Fund’s expenses and how those expenses compared to those of certain other comparable mutual funds;
4. the profitability of CSIM and its affiliates, including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), with respect to the Fund, including both direct and indirect benefits accruing to CSIM and its affiliates; and
5. the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels in the Agreement reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by CSIM to the Fund and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund. In this regard, the Trustees evaluated, among other things, CSIM’s personnel, experience, track record and compliance program. The Trustees also considered Schwab’s wide range of products, services, and channel alternatives such as investment research tools and Internet access and an array of account features that benefit the Fund and certain of its shareholders. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by CSIM to the Fund and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.
Fund Performance. The Board considered the Fund’s performance in determining whether to renew the Agreement with respect to the Fund. Specifically, the Trustees considered the Fund’s performance relative to a peer category of other mutual funds and appropriate indices/benchmarks, in light of total return and market trends. As part of this review, the Trustees considered the composition of the peer category, selection criteria and the reputation of the third party who prepared the peer category analysis. In evaluating the performance of the Fund, the Trustees considered both risk and shareholder risk expectations for the Fund and the appropriateness of the benchmark used to compare the performance of the Fund. The Trustees further considered the level of Fund performance in the context of its review of Fund expenses
20

and adviser profitability discussed below. Following such evaluation the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the performance of the Fund supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.
Fund Expenses. With respect to the Fund’s expenses, the Trustees considered the rate of compensation called for by the Agreement, and the Fund’s net operating expense ratio, in each case, in comparison to those of other comparable mutual funds, such peer groups and comparisons having been selected and calculated by an independent third party. The Trustees considered the effects of CSIM’s and Schwab’s historical practice of waiving management and other fees to prevent total fund expenses from exceeding a specified cap. The Trustees also considered fees charged by CSIM to other mutual funds and to other types of accounts, such as exchange-traded funds and wrap accounts, but, with respect to such other types of accounts, accorded less weight to such comparisons due to the different legal, regulatory, compliance and operating features of mutual funds as compared to these other types of accounts, and the unique insurance dedicated distribution arrangements of the Fund as compared to other funds managed by CSIM. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the expenses of the Fund are reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.
Profitability. With regard to profitability, the Trustees considered the compensation flowing to CSIM and its affiliates, directly or indirectly. In this connection, the Trustees reviewed management’s profitability analyses, together with certain commentary thereon from an independent accounting firm. The Trustees also considered any other benefits derived by CSIM from its relationship with the Fund, such as whether, by virtue of its management of the Fund, CSIM obtains investment information or other research resources that aid it in providing advisory services to other clients. The Trustees
considered whether the compensation and profitability with respect to the Fund under the Agreement and other service agreements were reasonable and justified in light of the quality of all services rendered to the Fund by CSIM and its affiliates. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the profitability of CSIM is reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.
Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered the existence of any economies of scale and whether those are passed along to the Fund’s shareholders through a graduated investment advisory fee schedule or other means, including any fee waivers by CSIM and its affiliates. In this regard, and consistent with their consideration of Fund expenses, the Trustees considered that CSIM and Schwab have previously committed resources to minimize the effects on shareholders of diseconomies of scale during periods when Fund assets were relatively small through their contractual expense waivers. For example, such diseconomies of scale may particularly affect newer funds or funds with investment strategies that are from time to time out of favor, but shareholders may benefit from the continued availability of such funds at subsidized expense levels. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the Fund obtains reasonable benefit from economies of scale.
In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information or factor that was all important or controlling. Based on the Trustees’ deliberation and their evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the Agreement with respect to the Fund and concluded that the compensation under the Agreement with respect to the Fund is fair and reasonable in light of such services and expenses and such other matters as the Trustees have considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment.

The Investment Environment
For the six-month reporting period ended June 30, 2015, U.S. and international stocks generated overall positive performances. In the U.S., the Federal Reserve maintained historically low short-term interest rates, while consumer sentiment improved toward the end of the reporting period. Weaker-than-expected economic data for early 2015 surprised many investors, though the economy was able to recover in the following months. As a result, the Dow Jones U.S. Broad Stock Market Index returned 1.9%.
Outside the U.S., stocks in both developed international and emerging markets rallied over the reporting period. Geopolitical tensions subsided in many areas, though uncertainty around the Greece debt crisis and the Chinese economy contributed to market volatility. The U.S. dollar remained strong against most foreign currencies, as many central banks increased economic measures to stimulate growth and combat threats of deflation. When the U.S. dollar rises against foreign currencies, returns on overseas investments will generally be reduced in U.S. dollar terms. However, as developed international and emerging markets performed well this reporting period, returns on many of these investments were positive even when translated into U.S. dollars. Reflecting these conditions, the MSCI EAFE Index (Net)—representing the performance of developed international stocks—returned 5.5%, and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net) returned 3.0%.
U.S. bonds generated negative overall returns during the reporting period, though still outperformed international bonds. Speculation surrounding a potential short-term rate increase in the U.S. contributed to rising yields on U.S. bonds, and generally weakened demand for these securities. International bonds also generated negative returns, in part due to the strength of the U.S. dollar. The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index—representing the broad U.S. bond market—returned -0.1% for the reporting period, and the Citigroup Non-U.S. Dollar World Government Bond Index returned -5.8%.

Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
Examples for a $1,000 Investment

The portfolio incurs ongoing costs, such as 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 January 1, 2015 and held through June 30, 2015.
The Actual Return line in the table below provides 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 the portfolio under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”
The Hypothetical Return line in the table below provides 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 the portfolio 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.

Financial Notes, unaudited
1. Business Structure of the Fund:
Schwab VIT Balanced with Growth Portfolio (the “fund”) is a series of Schwab Annuity Portfolios (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 fund discussed in this report, which is highlighted:
Schwab Annuity Portfolios (organized January 21, 1994)
Schwab Money Market Portfolio
Schwab MarketTrack Growth Portfolio II
Schwab S&P 500 Index Portfolio
Schwab VIT Balanced Portfolio
Schwab VIT Balanced with Growth Portfolio
Schwab VIT Growth Portfolio
    
The fund is a “fund of funds” which primarily invests in affiliated Schwab exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and unaffiliated third-party ETFs. The fund may also invest in affiliated Schwab and Laudus Funds and unaffiliated third-party mutual funds (all such ETFs and mutual funds referred to as “underlying funds”). The fund may also invest directly in equity or fixed-income securities and cash equivalents, including money market securities, to achieve its investment objectives.
The 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 the fund. Each share has a par value of 1/1,000 of a cent, and the fund's Board of Trustees (the “Board”) may authorize the issuance of as many shares as necessary.
The fund is intended as an investment vehicle for variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies to be offered by separate accounts of participating life insurance companies and for pension and retirement plans qualified under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. At June 30, 2015, 100% of the fund's shares were held through one insurance company. Subscriptions and redemptions of these insurance separate accounts could have a material impact on the fund.
The fund maintains its own account for purposes of holding assets and accounting, and is considered a separate entity for tax purposes. Within its account, the 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 fund uses in its preparation of financial statements. The fund follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies. The accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
The financial statements of the fund should be read in conjunction with the underlying funds' financial statements. For more information about the underlying funds' operations and policies, please refer to those funds' semiannual and annual reports, which are filed and available on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (“SEC”) website at www.sec.gov or at the SEC's Public Reference Room in Washington D.C.
(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 fund to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers and other market sources to determine fair value.
The fund values the securities in its portfolio every business day. The fund uses the following policies to value various types of securities:
•   Underlying funds: Mutual funds are valued at their respective NAVs. ETFs traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the official closing price, if applicable.
•   Securities for which no quoted value is available: The Board has adopted procedures to fair value the 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. The fund makes fair value
11

Schwab VIT Balanced with Growth Portfolio
Financial Notes, unaudited (continued)
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
determinations in good faith in accordance with the fund’s valuation procedures. The Pricing Committee considers a number of factors, including unobservable market inputs when arriving at fair value. The Pricing Committee may employ techniques such as the review of related or comparable assets or liabilities, related market activities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, transactional back-testing, disposition analysis and other relevant information. The Pricing Committee regularly reviews these inputs and assumptions to calibrate the valuations. Due to the subjective and variable nature of fair value pricing, there can be no assurance that a fund could obtain the fair value assigned to the security upon the sale of such security. The Board convenes on a regular basis to review fair value determinations made by the fund pursuant to the valuation procedures.
•   Short-term securities (60 days or less to maturity): A short-term security may be valued at its amortized cost when it approximates the security's market value.
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the fund discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the significant inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). If inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. If the fund determines that either the volume and/or level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased (from normal conditions for that asset or liability) or price quotations or observable inputs are not associated with orderly transactions, increased analysis and management judgment will be required to estimate fair value.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
•  Level 1quoted prices in active markets for identical securitiesInvestments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equities and ETFs. Investments in mutual funds are valued daily at their NAVs, and investments in ETFs are valued daily at the last reported sale price or the official closing price, which are classified as Level 1 prices, without consideration to the classification level of the specific investments held by an underlying fund.
•  Level 2other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but whose values are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified as Level 2 prices. These generally include U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, certain mortgage products, less liquid listed equities, and state, municipal and provincial obligations. 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 3significant unobservable inputs (including the fund's 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 fund uses one or more valuation techniques for which sufficient and reliable data is available. The inputs used by the fund 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 fund in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the fund due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the fund's 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 fund's investments as of June 30, 2015 are disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
(b) 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.
(c) Investment Income:
Interest income is recorded as it accrues. Dividends and distributions from portfolio securities and underlying funds are recorded on the date they are effective (the ex-dividend date), although the fund records certain foreign security dividends on the day it learns of the ex-dividend date. Any distributions from underlying funds are recorded in accordance with the character of the distributions as designated by the underlying funds.
(d) 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. The fund bears its share of the allocable expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests. Such expenses are reflected in the net asset values of the underlying funds.
(e) Distributions to Shareholders:
The fund makes distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, once a year.
(f) 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.
(g) Federal Income Taxes:
The fund intends to meet federal income and excise tax requirements for regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income and realized net capital gains, if any, to the participating insurance company's (shareholders) separate accounts each year. As long as the fund meets the tax requirements, it is not required to pay federal income tax.
(h) Indemnification:
Under the fund’s organizational documents, the officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business the fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide general indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the fund. However, based on experience, the fund expects the risk of loss attributable to these arrangements to be remote.
3. Risk Factors:
Investing in the fund may involve certain risks, as discussed in the fund's prospectus, including, but not limited to, those described below. Any of these risks could cause an investor to lose money.
Asset Allocation Risk. The fund is subject to asset allocation risk, which is the risk that the selection of the underlying funds and the allocation of the fund's assets among the various asset classes and market segments will cause the fund to underperform other funds with a similar investment objective.
Affiliated Fund Risk. The investment adviser’s authority to select and substitute underlying funds from a variety of affiliated and unaffiliated ETFs and mutual funds may create a conflict of interest because the fees paid to it by some underlying funds are higher than the fees paid by other underlying funds. However, the portfolio manager is a fiduciary to the fund and is legally obligated to act in the fund’s best interests when selecting underlying funds, without taking fees into consideration.

3. Risk Factors (continued):
Market Risk. Equity and bond markets rise and fall daily. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of an investment in the fund will fluctuate, which means that an investor could lose money.
ETF Risk. When the fund invests in an ETF, it will bear a proportionate share of the ETF's expenses. In addition, lack of liquidity in the market for an ETF's share can result in its value being more volatile than the underlying portfolio of securities.
Underlying Fund Investment Risk. The value of an investment in the fund is based primarily on the prices of the underlying funds that the fund purchases. In turn, the price of each underlying fund is based on the value of its securities. The fund is subject to the performance and expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests. Before investing in the fund, investors should assess the risks associated with the underlying funds in which the fund may invest and the types of investments made by those underlying funds. The risks below summarize certain principal investment risks of the underlying funds that are also principal investment risks to which the fund is subject because of the fund's investment allocation in the underlying funds and the underlying funds' asset allocation.
•   Equity Risk. The prices of equity securities rise and fall daily. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, industries or the securities market as a whole. In addition, the equity market tends to move in cycles, which may cause stock prices to fall over short or extended periods of time.
•   Large-Cap Risk. Large-cap stocks tend to go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. During a period when large-cap stocks fall behind other types of investments — bonds or mid- or small- cap stocks, for instance — an underlying fund's performance also will lag those investments.
•   Small-Cap Risk. Historically, small-cap stocks have been riskier than large- and mid-cap stocks, and their prices may move sharply, especially during market upturns and downturns. Small-cap companies may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. During a period when small-cap stocks fall behind other types of investmentsbonds or large-cap stocks, for instancean underlying fund's performance also will lag those investments.
•   Foreign Investment Risk. An underlying fund's investments in securities of foreign issuers may involve certain risks that are greater than those associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These include risks of adverse changes in foreign economic, political, regulatory and other conditions; changes in currency exchange rates or exchange control regulations (including limitations on currency movements and exchanges); the imposition of economic sanctions or other government restrictions; differing accounting, auditing, financial reporting and legal standards and practices; differing securities market structures; and higher transaction costs. These risks may negatively impact the value or liquidity of the underlying fund's investments, and could impair the underlying fund's ability to meet its investment objective or invest in accordance with its investment strategy. These risks may be heightened in connection with investments in emerging markets.
•   Emerging Market Risk. An underlying fund's investments in securities of emerging market countries may involve certain risks that are greater than those associated with investments in securities of developed countries. Emerging market countries may be more likely to experience political turmoil or rapid changes in market or economic conditions than more developed countries. Such countries often have less uniformity in accounting and reporting requirements and greater risk associated with the custody of securities. In addition, the financial stability of issuers (including governments) in emerging market countries may be more precarious than in other countries. As a result, there will tend to be an increased risk of price volatility associated with an underlying fund's investments in emerging market countries and, at times, it may be difficult to value such investments.
•   Currency Risk. As a result of an underlying fund's investments in securities denominated in, and/or receiving revenues in foreign currencies, the fund will be subject to currency risk. This is the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency hedged. In either event, the dollar value of an investment in an underlying fund would be adversely affected.
•   Growth Investing Risk. Certain of the underlying funds pursue a “growth style” of investing. Growth investing focuses on a company's prospects for growth of revenue and earnings. Growth stocks can be volatile for several reasons. Since growth companies usually invest a high portion of earnings in their businesses, they may lack the dividends of value
14

3. Risk Factors (continued):
stocks that can cushion stock prices in a falling market. The prices of growth stocks are based largely on projections of the issuer’s future earnings and revenues. If a company's earnings or revenues fall short of expectations, its stock price may fall dramatically. Growth stocks may also be more expensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to value or other stocks.
•   Value Investing Risk. Certain of the underlying funds may pursue a “value style” of investing. Value investing focuses on companies whose stocks appear undervalued in light of factors such as the company’s earnings, book value, revenues or cash flow. If an underlying fund’s investment adviser’s (or sub-adviser’s) assessment of a company’s value or prospects for exceeding earnings expectations or market conditions is wrong, the underlying fund could suffer losses or produce poor performance relative to other funds. In addition, “value stocks” can continue to be undervalued by the market for long periods of time.
•   Debt Securities Risk. Bond prices generally fall when interest rates rise. Bonds with longer maturities tend to be more sensitive to this risk. Underlying fund performance also could be affected if an issuer or guarantor of a bond held by the fund fails to make timely principal or interest payments or otherwise honor its obligations. Lower-quality bonds are considered speculative with respect to their issuer's ability to make timely payments or otherwise honor their obligations. In addition, prices of lower-quality bonds tend to be more volatile than those of investment-grade bonds, and may fall based on bad news about the issuer, an industry or the overall economy.
•   Interest Rate Risk. An underlying fund’s investments in fixed income securities are subject to the risk that interest rates rise and fall over time. As with any investment whose yield reflects current interest rates, an underlying fund’s yield will change over time. During periods when interest rates are low, an underlying fund’s yield (and total return) also may be low. Changes in interest rates also may affect an underlying fund's share price: a sharp rise in interest rates could cause the underlying fund's share price to fall. The longer the underlying fund’s duration, the more sensitive to interest rate movements its share price is likely to be. Because interest rates in the United States are at, or near, historically low levels, a change in a central bank's monetary policy or improving economic conditions may result in an increase in interest rates.
•   Credit Risk. Certain of the underlying funds are subject to the risk that a decline in the credit quality of a portfolio investment could cause the underlying fund’s share price to fall. An underlying fund 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. Securities rated below investment grade (junk bonds) involve greater risk of price declines than investment grade securities due to actual or perceived changes in the issuer’s creditworthiness.
•   Prepayment and Extension Risk. An underlying fund’s investments in fixed income securities are subject to the risk that the securities may be paid off earlier or later than expected. Either situation could cause the underlying fund to hold securities paying lower-than-market rates of interest, which could hurt the underlying fund’s yield or share price.
•   U.S. Government Securities Risk. Some of the U.S. government securities that the underlying funds invest in are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, which means they are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. Certain securities such as those issued by the Federal Home Loan Banks are supported by limited lines of credit maintained by their issuers with the U.S. Treasury. Securities issued by other issuers, such as the Federal Farm Credit Banks Funding Corporation, are supported solely by the credit of the issuer. There can be no assurance that the U.S. government will provide financial support to securities of its agencies and instrumentalities if it is not obligated to do so under law. Also, any government guarantees on securities the underlying funds own do not extend to shares of the underlying funds themselves.
•   Real Estate Investment Risk. An underlying fund in which the portfolio may invest may have a policy of concentrating its investments in real estate companies and companies related to the real estate industry. Such an underlying fund is subject to risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate securities and a portfolio’s investment in such an underlying fund is subject to risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate securities and an investment in the underlying fund will be closely linked to the performance of the real estate markets. These risks include, among others, declines in the value of real estate; risks related to general and local economic conditions; possible lack of availability of mortgage funds or other limits to accessing the credit or capital markets; defaults by borrowers or tenants, particularly during an economic downturn; and changes in interest rates.
15

Schwab VIT Balanced with Growth Portfolio
Financial Notes, unaudited (continued)
3. Risk Factors (continued):
•   Real Estate Investment Trust (REITs) Risk. An underlying fund may invest in REITs. An underlying fund's investments in REITs will be subject to the risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate, including fluctuations in the value of underlying properties, defaults by borrowers or tenants, changes in interest rates and risks related to general or local economic conditions. REITs are also subject to certain additional risks. For example, equity REITs may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying properties owned by the trusts, and mortgage REITs may be affected by the quality of any credit extended. Further, REITs may have their investments in relatively few properties, a small geographic area or a single property type. In addition, REITs have their own expenses, and the underlying fund will bear a proportionate share of those expenses.
•   Mortgage-Backed and Mortgage Pass-Through Securities Risk. Certain of the mortgage-backed securities in which an underlying fund may invest are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and there can be no assurance that the U.S. government would provide financial support where it was not obligated to do so. Mortgage-backed securities tend to increase in value less than other debt securities when interest rates decline, but are subject to similar risk of decline in market value during periods of rising interest rates. Transactions in mortgage pass-through securities primarily occur through to be announced (TBA) transactions. Default by or bankruptcy of a counterparty to a TBA transaction would expose an underlying fund to possible losses.
•   Portfolio Turnover Risk. Certain of the underlying funds may buy and sell portfolio securities actively. If they do, their portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs will rise, which may lower the underlying fund's performance and may increase the likelihood of capital gain distributions.
•   Commodity Risk. To the extent that an underlying fund invests in commodity-linked derivative instruments, it may subject the underlying fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. Also, commodity-linked investments may be more volatile and less liquid than the underlying commodity. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and other regulatory and market developments. The use of leveraged commodity-linked derivatives creates an opportunity for increased return, but also creates the possibility for a greater loss.
•  Liquidity Risk. An underlying fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price.
•   Derivatives Risk. An underlying fund's use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. An underlying fund’s use of derivatives could reduce the underlying fund’s performance, increase volatility, and could cause the underlying fund to lose more than the initial amount invested. In addition, investments in derivatives may involve leverage, which means a small percentage of assets invested in derivatives can have a disproportionately large impact on an underlying fund.
•   Management Risk. An underlying fund may be an actively managed mutual fund. An underlying fund’s adviser applies its own investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the fund, but there can be no guarantee that they will produce the desired results or cause the underlying fund to meet its objectives.
•   Investment Style Risk. Certain underlying funds seek to track the performance of various segments of the stock market, as measured by their respective indices. Such underlying funds follow these stocks during upturns as well as downturns. Because of their indexing strategy, these underlying funds do not take steps to reduce market exposure or to lessen the effects of a declining market. In addition, because of an underlying fund's expenses, the underlying fund's performance is normally below that of the index.
•   Tracking Error Risk. An underlying fund may seek to track the performance of its benchmark index, although it may not be successful in doing so. The divergence between the performance of a fund and its benchmark index, positive or negative, is called “tracking error.” Tracking error can be caused by many factors and it may be significant.
•   Concentration Risk. To the extent that an underlying fund's portfolio is concentrated in the securities of issuers in a particular market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class, the underlying fund may be adversely affected by the performance of those securities, may be subject to increased price volatility and may be more susceptible to adverse economic, market, political, or regulatory occurrences affecting that market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class.

3. Risk Factors (continued):
•   Money Market Risk. Although an underlying money market fund seeks to maintain a stable $1 net asset value, it is possible to lose money by investing in a money market fund.
Direct Investment Risk. The fund may invest directly in individual securities to maintain its allocations. The fund's direct investment in these securities is subject to the same or similar risks as an underlying fund's investment in the same securities and instruments.
Please refer to the fund’s prospectus for a more complete description of the principal risks of investing in the fund.
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 the fund's investment adviser and administrator pursuant to an Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement between CSIM and the trust.
For its advisory and administrative services to the fund, CSIM is entitled to receive an annual fee, payable monthly, equal to 0.45% of the fund’s average daily net assets.
CSIM and its affiliates have made an additional agreement with the fund, for so long as CSIM serves as the investment adviser to the fund, which may only be amended or terminated with approval of the fund's Board, to limit the total annual fund operating expenses charged, excluding interest, taxes and certain non-routine expenses of the fund to 0.58%.
The agreement to limit the fund's total expenses charged is limited to the fund's direct operating expenses and, therefore, does not apply to underlying fund fees and expenses, which are indirect expenses incurred by a fund through its investments in the underlying funds.
The fund may engage in certain transactions involving related parties. Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the fund may invest in other related ETFs and mutual funds. As of June 30, 2015, the Schwab VIT Balanced with Growth Portfolio's ownership percentages of other related funds' shares are:
Schwab U.S. Large-Cap ETF 0.5%
Schwab U.S. Small-Cap ETF 0.2%
Schwab International Equity ETF 0.5%
Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF 0.5%

Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the fund may enter into interfund borrowing and lending transactions with other funds in the Fund Complex (for definition refer to Trustees and Officers section). All loans are for temporary or emergency purposes 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 fund 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 on the fund’s Statement of Operations. For information regarding the trustees, please refer to the Trustees and Officers table at the end of this report.
6. Borrowing from Banks:
The fund has access to custodian overdraft facilities, a committed line of credit of $150 million with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), an uncommitted line of credit of $100 million with Bank of America, N.A. and an uncommitted line of credit of $50 million with Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. The fund pays interest on the amounts it borrows at rates that are negotiated periodically. The fund also pays an annual fee to State Street for the committed line of credit.
There were no borrowings from the lines of credit by the fund during the period. However, the fund may have utilized its overdraft facility and incurred an interest expense, which is disclosed on the fund's 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 June 30, 2015, purchases and sales/maturities of securities (excluding short-term obligations) were as follows:
Purchases of Securities   Sales/Maturities of Securities
$13,625,749   $4,084,803
8. Federal Income Taxes:
Capital loss carryforwards may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. As of December 31, 2014, the fund 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 December 31, 2014, the fund had no capital losses deferred and no capital loss carryforwards utilized.
As of December 31, 2014, 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 fund, and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements. The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period ended December 31, 2014, the fund 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.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval

The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) requires that initial approval of, as well as the continuation of, a fund’s investment advisory agreement must be specifically approved (1) by the vote of the trustees or by a vote of the shareholders of the fund, and (2) by the vote of a majority of the trustees who are not parties to the investment advisory agreement or “interested persons” of any party (the “Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. In connection with such approvals, the fund’s trustees must request and evaluate, and the investment adviser is required to furnish, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the investment advisory agreement.
The Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”, as appropriate) calls and holds one or more meetings each year that are dedicated, in whole or in part, to considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreement between Schwab Annuity Portfolios (the “Trust”) and Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (“CSIM”) (the “Agreement”) with respect to Schwab VIT Balanced with Growth Portfolio (the “Fund”), and to review certain other agreements pursuant to which CSIM provides investment advisory services to certain other registered investment companies. In preparation for the meeting(s), the Board requests and reviews a wide variety of materials provided by CSIM, including information about CSIM’s affiliates, personnel and operations. The Board also receives extensive data provided by third parties. This information is in addition to the detailed information about the Fund that the Board reviews during the course of each year, including information that relates to Fund operations and Fund performance. The Independent Trustees receive advice from independent counsel to the Independent Trustees, including a memorandum regarding the responsibilities of trustees for the approval of investment advisory agreements. In addition, the Independent Trustees meet in executive session outside the presence of Fund management and participate in question and answer sessions with representatives of CSIM.
The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered information specifically relating to its consideration of the continuance of the Agreement with respect to the Fund at meetings held on April 29, 2015, and June 1, 2015, and approved the renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund for an additional one year term at the meeting held on June 1, 2015. The Board’s approval of the Agreement with respect to the Fund was based on
consideration and evaluation of a variety of specific factors discussed at these meetings and at prior meetings, including:
1. the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Agreement, including the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund;
2. the Fund’s investment performance and how it compared to that of certain other comparable mutual funds;
3. the Fund’s expenses and how those expenses compared to those of certain other comparable mutual funds;
4. the profitability of CSIM and its affiliates, including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), with respect to the Fund, including both direct and indirect benefits accruing to CSIM and its affiliates; and
5. the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels in the Agreement reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by CSIM to the Fund and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund. In this regard, the Trustees evaluated, among other things, CSIM’s personnel, experience, track record and compliance program. The Trustees also considered Schwab’s wide range of products, services, and channel alternatives such as investment research tools and Internet access and an array of account features that benefit the Fund and certain of its shareholders. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by CSIM to the Fund and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.
Fund Performance. The Board considered the Fund’s performance in determining whether to renew the Agreement with respect to the Fund. Specifically, the Trustees considered the Fund’s performance relative to a peer category of other mutual funds and appropriate indices/benchmarks, in light of total return and market trends. As part of this review, the Trustees considered the composition of the peer category, selection criteria and the reputation of the third party who prepared the peer category analysis. In evaluating the performance of the Fund, the Trustees considered both risk and shareholder risk expectations for the Fund and the appropriateness of the benchmark used to compare the performance of the Fund. The Trustees further considered the level of Fund performance in the context of its review of Fund expenses
20

and adviser profitability discussed below. Following such evaluation the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the performance of the Fund supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.
Fund Expenses. With respect to the Fund’s expenses, the Trustees considered the rate of compensation called for by the Agreement, and the Fund’s net operating expense ratio, in each case, in comparison to those of other comparable mutual funds, such peer groups and comparisons having been selected and calculated by an independent third party. The Trustees considered the effects of CSIM’s and Schwab’s historical practice of waiving management and other fees to prevent total fund expenses from exceeding a specified cap. The Trustees also considered fees charged by CSIM to other mutual funds and to other types of accounts, such as exchange-traded funds and separately managed accounts, but, with respect to such other types of accounts, accorded less weight to such comparisons due to the different legal, regulatory, compliance and operating features of mutual funds as compared to these other types of accounts, and the unique insurance dedicated distribution arrangements of the Fund as compared to other funds managed by CSIM. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the expenses of the Fund are reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.
Profitability. With regard to profitability, the Trustees considered the compensation flowing to CSIM and its affiliates, directly or indirectly. In this connection, the Trustees reviewed management’s profitability analyses, together with certain commentary thereon from an independent accounting firm. The Trustees also considered any other benefits derived by CSIM from its relationship with the Fund, such as whether, by virtue of its management of the Fund, CSIM obtains investment information or other research resources that aid it in providing advisory services to other clients. The Trustees
considered whether the compensation and profitability with respect to the Fund under the Agreement and other service agreements were reasonable and justified in light of the quality of all services rendered to the Fund by CSIM and its affiliates. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the profitability of CSIM is reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.
Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered the existence of any economies of scale and whether those are passed along to the Fund’s shareholders through a graduated investment advisory fee schedule or other means, including any fee waivers by CSIM and its affiliates. In this regard, and consistent with their consideration of Fund expenses, the Trustees considered that CSIM and Schwab have previously committed resources to minimize the effects on shareholders of diseconomies of scale during periods when Fund assets were relatively small through their contractual expense waivers. For example, such diseconomies of scale may particularly affect newer funds or funds with investment strategies that are from time to time out of favor, but shareholders may benefit from the continued availability of such funds at subsidized expense levels. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the Fund obtains reasonable benefit from economies of scale.
In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information or factor that was all important or controlling. Based on the Trustees’ deliberation and their evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the Agreement with respect to the Fund and concluded that the compensation under the Agreement with respect to the Fund is fair and reasonable in light of such services and expenses and such other matters as the Trustees have considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment.

The Investment Environment
For the six-month reporting period ended June 30, 2015, U.S. and international stocks generated overall positive performances. In the U.S., the Federal Reserve maintained historically low short-term interest rates, while consumer sentiment improved toward the end of the reporting period. Weaker-than-expected economic data for early 2015 surprised many investors, though the economy was able to recover in the following months. As a result, the Dow Jones U.S. Broad Stock Market Index returned 1.9%.
Outside the U.S., stocks in both developed international and emerging markets rallied over the reporting period. Geopolitical tensions subsided in many areas, though uncertainty around the Greece debt crisis and the Chinese economy contributed to market volatility. The U.S. dollar remained strong against most foreign currencies, as many central banks increased economic measures to stimulate growth and combat threats of deflation. When the U.S. dollar rises against foreign currencies, returns on overseas investments will generally be reduced in U.S. dollar terms. However, as developed international and emerging markets performed well this reporting period, returns on many of these investments were positive even when translated into U.S. dollars. Reflecting these conditions, the MSCI EAFE Index (Net)—representing the performance of developed international stocks—returned 5.5%, and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net) returned 3.0%.
U.S. bonds generated negative overall returns during the reporting period, though still outperformed international bonds. Speculation surrounding a potential short-term rate increase in the U.S. contributed to rising yields on U.S. bonds, and generally weakened demand for these securities. International bonds also generated negative returns, in part due to the strength of the U.S. dollar. The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index—representing the broad U.S. bond market—returned -0.1% for the reporting period, and the Citigroup Non-U.S. Dollar World Government Bond Index returned -5.8%.

1 Source for category information: Morningstar, Inc. The Morningstar Category return represents all active and index mutual funds within the category as of the report date.
2 Portfolio expenses have been partially absorbed by CSIM and its affiliates. Without these reductions, the portfolio’s returns would have been lower. Portfolio performance does not reflect the additional fees and expenses imposed by the insurance company under the variable insurance product contract. If those contract fees and expenses were included, the performance would be less than that shown. Please refer to the variable insurance product prospectus for a complete listing of these expenses.
3 As stated in the prospectus. Includes expenses of the underlying funds in which the portfolio invests. The annualized weighted average expense ratio of the underlying funds was 0.14%. Net Expense: Expenses reduced by a contractual fee waiver in effect for so long as CSIM serves as adviser to the portfolio. 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.
4 Not annualized.
5 The portfolio intends to primarily invest in affiliated Schwab exchange traded funds (ETFs) and unaffiliated third-party ETFs.

The portfolio may also invest directly in equity or fixed income securities, and money market investments to achieve its investment objectives.

Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
Examples for a $1,000 Investment

The portfolio incurs ongoing costs, such as 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 January 1, 2015 and held through June 30, 2015.
The Actual Return line in the table below provides 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 the portfolio under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”
The Hypothetical Return line in the table below provides 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 the portfolio 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.

Financial Notes, unaudited
1. Business Structure of the Fund:
Schwab VIT Growth Portfolio (the “fund”) is a series of Schwab Annuity Portfolios (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 fund discussed in this report, which is highlighted:
Schwab Annuity Portfolios (organized January 21, 1994)
Schwab Money Market Portfolio
Schwab MarketTrack Growth Portfolio II
Schwab S&P 500 Index Portfolio
Schwab VIT Balanced Portfolio
Schwab VIT Balanced with Growth Portfolio
Schwab VIT Growth Portfolio
    
The fund is a “fund of funds” which primarily invests in affiliated Schwab exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and unaffiliated third-party ETFs. The fund may also invest in affiliated Schwab and Laudus Funds and unaffiliated third-party mutual funds (all such ETFs and mutual funds referred to as “underlying funds”). The fund may also invest directly in equity or fixed-income securities and cash equivalents, including money market securities, to achieve its investment objectives.
The 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 the fund. Each share has a par value of 1/1,000 of a cent, and the fund's Board of Trustees (the “Board”) may authorize the issuance of as many shares as necessary.
The fund is intended as an investment vehicle for variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies to be offered by separate accounts of participating life insurance companies and for pension and retirement plans qualified under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. At June 30, 2015, 100% of the fund's shares were held through one insurance company. Subscriptions and redemptions of these insurance separate accounts could have a material impact on the fund.
The fund maintains its own account for purposes of holding assets and accounting, and is considered a separate entity for tax purposes. Within its account, the 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 fund uses in its preparation of financial statements. The fund follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies. The accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
The financial statements of the fund should be read in conjunction with the underlying funds' financial statements. For more information about the underlying funds' operations and policies, please refer to those funds' semiannual and annual reports, which are filed and available on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (“SEC”) website at www.sec.gov or at the SEC's Public Reference Room in Washington D.C.
(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 fund to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers and other market sources to determine fair value.
The fund values the securities in its portfolio every business day. The fund uses the following policies to value various types of securities:
•   Underlying funds: Mutual funds are valued at their respective NAVs. ETFs traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the official closing price, if applicable.
•   Securities for which no quoted value is available: The Board has adopted procedures to fair value the 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. The fund makes fair value
11

Schwab VIT Growth Portfolio
Financial Notes, unaudited (continued)
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
determinations in good faith in accordance with the fund’s valuation procedures. The Pricing Committee considers a number of factors, including unobservable market inputs when arriving at fair value. The Pricing Committee may employ techniques such as the review of related or comparable assets or liabilities, related market activities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, transactional back-testing, disposition analysis and other relevant information. The Pricing Committee regularly reviews these inputs and assumptions to calibrate the valuations. Due to the subjective and variable nature of fair value pricing, there can be no assurance that a fund could obtain the fair value assigned to the security upon the sale of such security. The Board convenes on a regular basis to review fair value determinations made by the fund pursuant to the valuation procedures.
•   Short-term securities (60 days or less to maturity): A short-term security may be valued at its amortized cost when it approximates the security's market value.
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the fund discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the significant inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). If inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. If the fund determines that either the volume and/or level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased (from normal conditions for that asset or liability) or price quotations or observable inputs are not associated with orderly transactions, increased analysis and management judgment will be required to estimate fair value.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
•  Level 1quoted prices in active markets for identical securitiesInvestments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equities and ETFs. Investments in mutual funds are valued daily at their NAVs, and investments in ETFs are valued daily at the last reported sale price or the official closing price, which are classified as Level 1 prices, without consideration to the classification level of the specific investments held by an underlying fund.
•  Level 2other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but whose values are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified as Level 2 prices. These generally include U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, certain mortgage products, less liquid listed equities, and state, municipal and provincial obligations. 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 3significant unobservable inputs (including the fund's 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 fund uses one or more valuation techniques for which sufficient and reliable data is available. The inputs used by the fund 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 fund in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the fund due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the fund's 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 fund's investments as of June 30, 2015 are disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings.

Financial Notes, unaudited (continued)
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
(b) 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.
(c) Investment Income:
Interest income is recorded as it accrues. Dividends and distributions from portfolio securities and underlying funds are recorded on the date they are effective (the ex-dividend date), although the fund records certain foreign security dividends on the day it learns of the ex-dividend date. Any distributions from underlying funds are recorded in accordance with the character of the distributions as designated by the underlying funds.
(d) 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. The fund bears its share of the allocable expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests. Such expenses are reflected in the net asset values of the underlying funds.
(e) Distributions to Shareholders:
The fund makes distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, once a year.
(f) 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.
(g) Federal Income Taxes:
The fund intends to meet federal income and excise tax requirements for regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income and realized net capital gains, if any, to the participating insurance company's (shareholders) separate accounts each year. As long as the fund meets the tax requirements, it is not required to pay federal income tax.
(h) Indemnification:
Under the fund’s organizational documents, the officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business the fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide general indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the fund. However, based on experience, the fund expects the risk of loss attributable to these arrangements to be remote.
3. Risk Factors:
Investing in the fund may involve certain risks, as discussed in the fund's prospectus, including, but not limited to, those described below. Any of these risks could cause an investor to lose money.
Asset Allocation Risk. The fund is subject to asset allocation risk, which is the risk that the selection of the underlying funds and the allocation of the fund's assets among the various asset classes and market segments will cause the fund to underperform other funds with a similar investment objective.
Affiliated Fund Risk. The investment adviser’s authority to select and substitute underlying funds from a variety of affiliated and unaffiliated ETFs and mutual funds may create a conflict of interest because the fees paid to it by some underlying funds are higher than the fees paid by other underlying funds. However, the portfolio manager is a fiduciary to the fund and is legally obligated to act in the fund’s best interests when selecting underlying funds, without taking fees into consideration.
13

Schwab VIT Growth Portfolio
Financial Notes, unaudited (continued)
3. Risk Factors (continued):
Market Risk. Equity and bond markets rise and fall daily. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of an investment in the fund will fluctuate, which means that an investor could lose money.
ETF Risk. When the fund invests in an ETF, it will bear a proportionate share of the ETF's expenses. In addition, lack of liquidity in the market for an ETF's share can result in its value being more volatile than the underlying portfolio of securities.
Underlying Fund Investment Risk. The value of an investment in the fund is based primarily on the prices of the underlying funds that the fund purchases. In turn, the price of each underlying fund is based on the value of its securities. The fund is subject to the performance and expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests. Before investing in the fund, investors should assess the risks associated with the underlying funds in which the fund may invest and the types of investments made by those underlying funds. The risks below summarize certain principal investment risks of the underlying funds that are also principal investment risks to which the fund is subject because of the fund's investment allocation in the underlying funds and the underlying funds' asset allocation.
•   Equity Risk. The prices of equity securities rise and fall daily. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, industries or the securities market as a whole. In addition, the equity market tends to move in cycles, which may cause stock prices to fall over short or extended periods of time.
•   Large-Cap Risk. Large-cap stocks tend to go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. During a period when large-cap stocks fall behind other types of investments — bonds or mid- or small- cap stocks, for instance — an underlying fund's performance also will lag those investments.
•   Small-Cap Risk. Historically, small-cap stocks have been riskier than large- and mid-cap stocks, and their prices may move sharply, especially during market upturns and downturns. Small-cap companies may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. During a period when small-cap stocks fall behind other types of investmentsbonds or large-cap stocks, for instancean underlying fund's performance also will lag those investments.
•   Foreign Investment Risk. An underlying fund's investments in securities of foreign issuers may involve certain risks that are greater than those associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These include risks of adverse changes in foreign economic, political, regulatory and other conditions; changes in currency exchange rates or exchange control regulations (including limitations on currency movements and exchanges); the imposition of economic sanctions or other government restrictions; differing accounting, auditing, financial reporting and legal standards and practices; differing securities market structures; and higher transaction costs. These risks may negatively impact the value or liquidity of the underlying fund's investments, and could impair the underlying fund's ability to meet its investment objective or invest in accordance with its investment strategy. These risks may be heightened in connection with investments in emerging markets.
•   Emerging Market Risk. An underlying fund's investments in securities of emerging market countries may involve certain risks that are greater than those associated with investments in securities of developed countries. Emerging market countries may be more likely to experience political turmoil or rapid changes in market or economic conditions than more developed countries. Such countries often have less uniformity in accounting and reporting requirements and greater risk associated with the custody of securities. In addition, the financial stability of issuers (including governments) in emerging market countries may be more precarious than in other countries. As a result, there will tend to be an increased risk of price volatility associated with an underlying fund's investments in emerging market countries and, at times, it may be difficult to value such investments.
•   Currency Risk. As a result of an underlying fund's investments in securities denominated in, and/or receiving revenues in foreign currencies, the fund will be subject to currency risk. This is the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency hedged. In either event, the dollar value of an investment in an underlying fund would be adversely affected.
•   Growth Investing Risk. Certain of the underlying funds pursue a “growth style” of investing. Growth investing focuses on a company’s prospects for growth of revenue and earnings. If a company’s earnings or revenues fall short of expectations, its stock price may fall dramatically. Growth stocks also can perform differently from the market as a whole
14

Schwab VIT Growth Portfolio
Financial Notes, unaudited (continued)
3. Risk Factors (continued):
and other types of stocks and can be more volatile than other types of stocks. Since growth companies usually invest a high portion of earnings in their business, they may lack the dividends of value stocks that can cushion stock prices in a falling market. Growth stocks may also be more expensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to value or other stocks.
•   Value Investing Risk. Certain of the underlying funds may pursue a “value style” of investing. Value investing focuses on companies whose stocks appear undervalued in light of factors such as the company’s earnings, book value, revenues or cash flow. If an underlying fund’s investment adviser’s (or sub-adviser’s) assessment of a company’s value or prospects for exceeding earnings expectations or market conditions is wrong, the underlying fund could suffer losses or produce poor performance relative to other funds. In addition, “value stocks” can continue to be undervalued by the market for long periods of time.
•   Debt Securities Risk. Bond prices generally fall when interest rates rise. Bonds with longer maturities tend to be more sensitive to this risk. Underlying fund performance also could be affected if an issuer or guarantor of a bond held by the fund fails to make timely principal or interest payments or otherwise honor its obligations. Lower-quality bonds are considered speculative with respect to their issuer's ability to make timely payments or otherwise honor their obligations. In addition, prices of lower-quality bonds tend to be more volatile than those of investment-grade bonds, and may fall based on bad news about the issuer, an industry or the overall economy.
•   Interest Rate Risk. An underlying fund’s investments in fixed income securities are subject to the risk that interest rates rise and fall over time. As with any investment whose yield reflects current interest rates, an underlying fund’s yield will change over time. During periods when interest rates are low, an underlying fund’s yield (and total return) also may be low. Changes in interest rates also may affect an underlying fund's share price: a sharp rise in interest rates could cause the underlying fund's share price to fall. The longer the underlying fund’s duration, the more sensitive to interest rate movements its share price is likely to be. Because interest rates in the United States are at, or near, historically low levels, a change in a central bank's monetary policy or improving economic conditions may result in an increase in interest rates.
•   Credit Risk. Certain of the underlying funds are subject to the risk that a decline in the credit quality of a portfolio investment could cause the underlying fund’s share price to fall. An underlying fund 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. Securities rated below investment grade (junk bonds) involve greater risk of price declines than investment grade securities due to actual or perceived changes in the issuer’s creditworthiness.
•   Prepayment and Extension Risk. An underlying fund’s investments in fixed income securities are subject to the risk that the securities may be paid off earlier or later than expected. Either situation could cause the underlying fund to hold securities paying lower-than-market rates of interest, which could hurt the underlying fund’s yield or share price.
•   U.S. Government Securities Risk. Some of the U.S. government securities that the underlying funds invest in are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, which means they are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. Certain securities such as those issued by the Federal Home Loan Banks are supported by limited lines of credit maintained by their issuers with the U.S. Treasury. Securities issued by other issuers, such as the Federal Farm Credit Banks Funding Corporation, are supported solely by the credit of the issuer. There can be no assurance that the U.S. government will provide financial support to securities of its agencies and instrumentalities if it is not obligated to do so under law. Also, any government guarantees on securities the underlying funds own do not extend to shares of the underlying funds themselves.
•   Real Estate Investment Risk. An underlying fund in which the portfolio may invest may have a policy of concentrating its investments in real estate companies and companies related to the real estate industry. Such an underlying fund is subject to risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate securities and a portfolio’s investment in such an underlying fund is subject to risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate securities and an investment in the underlying fund will be closely linked to the performance of the real estate markets. These risks include, among others, declines in the value of real estate; risks related to general and local economic conditions; possible lack of availability of mortgage funds or other limits to accessing the credit or capital markets; defaults by borrowers or tenants, particularly during an economic downturn; and changes in interest rates.

3. Risk Factors (continued):
•   Real Estate Investment Trust (REITs) Risk. An underlying fund may invest in REITs. An underlying fund's investments in REITs will be subject to the risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate, including fluctuations in the value of underlying properties, defaults by borrowers or tenants, changes in interest rates and risks related to general or local economic conditions. REITs are also subject to certain additional risks. For example, equity REITs may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying properties owned by the trusts, and mortgage REITs may be affected by the quality of any credit extended. Further, REITs may have their investments in relatively few properties, a small geographic area or a single property type. In addition, REITs have their own expenses, and the underlying fund will bear a proportionate share of those expenses.
•   Mortgage-Backed and Mortgage Pass-Through Securities Risk. Certain of the mortgage-backed securities in which an underlying fund may invest are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and there can be no assurance that the U.S. government would provide financial support where it was not obligated to do so. Mortgage-backed securities tend to increase in value less than other debt securities when interest rates decline, but are subject to similar risk of decline in market value during periods of rising interest rates. Transactions in mortgage pass-through securities primarily occur through to be announced (TBA) transactions. Default by or bankruptcy of a counterparty to a TBA transaction would expose an underlying fund to possible losses.
•   Portfolio Turnover Risk. Certain of the underlying funds may buy and sell portfolio securities actively. If they do, their portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs will rise, which may lower the underlying fund's performance and may increase the likelihood of capital gain distributions.
•   Commodity Risk. To the extent that an underlying fund invests in commodity-linked derivative instruments, it may subject the underlying fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. Also, commodity-linked investments may be more volatile and less liquid than the underlying commodity. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and other regulatory and market developments. The use of leveraged commodity-linked derivatives creates an opportunity for increased return, but also creates the possibility for a greater loss.
•  Liquidity Risk. An underlying fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price.
•   Derivatives Risk. An underlying fund's use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. An underlying fund’s use of derivatives could reduce the underlying fund’s performance, increase volatility, and could cause the underlying fund to lose more than the initial amount invested. In addition, investments in derivatives may involve leverage, which means a small percentage of assets invested in derivatives can have a disproportionately large impact on an underlying fund.
•   Management Risk. An underlying fund may be an actively managed mutual fund. An underlying fund’s adviser applies its own investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the fund, but there can be no guarantee that they will produce the desired results or cause the underlying fund to meet its objectives.
•   Investment Style Risk. Certain underlying funds seek to track the performance of various segments of the stock market, as measured by their respective indices. Such underlying funds follow these stocks during upturns as well as downturns. Because of their indexing strategy, these underlying funds do not take steps to reduce market exposure or to lessen the effects of a declining market. In addition, because of an underlying fund's expenses, the underlying fund's performance is normally below that of the index.
•   Tracking Error Risk. An underlying fund may seek to track the performance of its benchmark index, although it may not be successful in doing so. The divergence between the performance of a fund and its benchmark index, positive or negative, is called “tracking error.” Tracking error can be caused by many factors and it may be significant.
•   Concentration Risk. To the extent that an underlying fund's portfolio is concentrated in the securities of issuers in a particular market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class, the underlying fund may be adversely affected by the performance of those securities, may be subject to increased price volatility and may be more susceptible to adverse economic, market, political, or regulatory occurrences affecting that market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class.

3. Risk Factors (continued):
•   Money Market Risk. Although an underlying money market fund seeks to maintain a stable $1 net asset value, it is possible to lose money by investing in a money market fund.
Direct Investment Risk. The fund may invest directly in individual securities to maintain its allocations. The fund's direct investment in these securities is subject to the same or similar risks as an underlying fund's investment in the same securities and instruments.
Please refer to the fund’s prospectus for a more complete description of the principal risks of investing in the fund.
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 the fund's investment adviser and administrator pursuant to an Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement between CSIM and the trust.
For its advisory and administrative services to the fund, CSIM is entitled to receive an annual fee, payable monthly, equal to 0.45% of the fund’s average daily net assets.
CSIM and its affiliates have made an additional agreement with the fund, for so long as CSIM serves as the investment adviser to the fund, which may only be amended or terminated with approval of the fund's Board, to limit the total annual fund operating expenses charged, excluding interest, taxes and certain non-routine expenses of the fund to 0.58%.
The agreement to limit the fund's total expenses charged is limited to the fund's direct operating expenses and, therefore, does not apply to underlying fund fees and expenses, which are indirect expenses incurred by a fund through its investments in the underlying funds.
The fund may engage in certain transactions involving related parties. Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the fund may invest in other related ETFs and mutual funds. As of June 30, 2015, the Schwab VIT Growth Portfolio's ownership percentages of other related funds' shares are:
Schwab U.S. Large-Cap ETF 0.8%
Schwab U.S. Small-Cap ETF 0.3%
Schwab International Equity ETF 0.6%
Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF 1.0%
Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF 0.7%
Schwab U.S. REIT ETF 0.5%
Schwab U.S. TIPS ETF 0.1%
Schwab Intermediate-Term U.S. Treasury ETF 1.6%
Schwab Value Advantage Money Fund, Institutional Prime Shares 0.0%*

Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the fund may enter into interfund borrowing and lending transactions with other funds in the Fund Complex (for definition refer to Trustees and Officers section). All loans are for temporary or emergency purposes 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 fund 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 on the fund’s Statement of Operations. For information regarding the trustees, please refer to the Trustees and Officers table at the end of this report.
6. Borrowing from Banks:
The fund has access to custodian overdraft facilities, a committed line of credit of $150 million with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), an uncommitted line of credit of $100 million with Bank of America, N.A. and an uncommitted line of credit of $50 million with Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. The fund pays interest on the amounts it borrows at rates that are negotiated periodically. The fund also pays an annual fee to State Street for the committed line of credit.
There were no borrowings from the lines of credit by the fund during the period. However, the fund may have utilized its overdraft facility and incurred an interest expense, which is disclosed on the fund's 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 June 30, 2015, purchases and sales/maturities of securities (excluding short-term obligations) were as follows:
Purchases of Securities   Sales/Maturities of Securities
$16,386,173   $4,506,578
8. Federal Income Taxes:
Capital loss carryforwards may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. As of December 31, 2014, the fund 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 December 31, 2014, the fund had no capital losses deferred and no capital loss carryforwards utilized.
As of December 31, 2014, 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 fund, and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements. The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period ended December 31, 2014, the fund 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.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval

The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) requires that initial approval of, as well as the continuation of, a fund’s investment advisory agreement must be specifically approved (1) by the vote of the trustees or by a vote of the shareholders of the fund, and (2) by the vote of a majority of the trustees who are not parties to the investment advisory agreement or “interested persons” of any party (the “Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. In connection with such approvals, the fund’s trustees must request and evaluate, and the investment adviser is required to furnish, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the investment advisory agreement.
The Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”, as appropriate) calls and holds one or more meetings each year that are dedicated, in whole or in part, to considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreement between Schwab Annuity Portfolios (the “Trust”) and Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (“CSIM”) (the “Agreement”) with respect to Schwab VIT Growth Portfolio (the “Fund”), and to review certain other agreements pursuant to which CSIM provides investment advisory services to certain other registered investment companies. In preparation for the meeting(s), the Board requests and reviews a wide variety of materials provided by CSIM, including information about CSIM’s affiliates, personnel and operations. The Board also receives extensive data provided by third parties. This information is in addition to the detailed information about the Fund that the Board reviews during the course of each year, including information that relates to Fund operations and Fund performance. The Independent Trustees receive advice from independent counsel to the Independent Trustees, including a memorandum regarding the responsibilities of trustees for the approval of investment advisory agreements. In addition, the Independent Trustees meet in executive session outside the presence of Fund management and participate in question and answer sessions with representatives of CSIM.
The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered information specifically relating to its consideration of the continuance of the Agreement with respect to the Fund at meetings held on April 29, 2015, and June 1, 2015, and approved the renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund for an additional one year term at the meeting held on June 1, 2015. The Board’s approval of the Agreement with respect to the Fund was based on
consideration and evaluation of a variety of specific factors discussed at these meetings and at prior meetings, including:
1. the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Agreement, including the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund;
2. the Fund’s investment performance and how it compared to that of certain other comparable mutual funds;
3. the Fund’s expenses and how those expenses compared to those of certain other comparable mutual funds;
4. the profitability of CSIM and its affiliates, including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), with respect to the Fund, including both direct and indirect benefits accruing to CSIM and its affiliates; and
5. the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels in the Agreement reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by CSIM to the Fund and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund. In this regard, the Trustees evaluated, among other things, CSIM’s personnel, experience, track record and compliance program. The Trustees also considered Schwab’s wide range of products, services, and channel alternatives such as investment research tools and Internet access and an array of account features that benefit the Fund and certain of its shareholders. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by CSIM to the Fund and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.
Fund Performance. The Board considered the Fund’s performance in determining whether to renew the Agreement with respect to the Fund. Specifically, the Trustees considered the Fund’s performance relative to a peer category of other mutual funds and appropriate indices/benchmarks, in light of total return and market trends. As part of this review, the Trustees considered the composition of the peer category, selection criteria and the reputation of the third party who prepared the peer category analysis. In evaluating the performance of the Fund, the Trustees considered both risk and shareholder risk expectations for the Fund and the appropriateness of the benchmark used to compare the performance of the Fund. The Trustees further considered the level of Fund performance in the context of its review of Fund expenses
20

and adviser profitability discussed below. Following such evaluation the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the performance of the Fund supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.
Fund Expenses. With respect to the Fund’s expenses, the Trustees considered the rate of compensation called for by the Agreement, and the Fund’s net operating expense ratio, in each case, in comparison to those of other comparable mutual funds, such peer groups and comparisons having been selected and calculated by an independent third party. The Trustees considered the effects of CSIM’s and Schwab’s historical practice of waiving management and other fees to prevent total fund expenses from exceeding a specified cap. The Trustees also considered fees charged by CSIM to other mutual funds and to other types of accounts, such as exchange-traded funds and separately managed accounts, but, with respect to such other types of accounts, accorded less weight to such comparisons due to the different legal, regulatory, compliance and operating features of mutual funds as compared to these other types of accounts, and the unique insurance dedicated distribution arrangements of the Fund as compared to other funds managed by CSIM. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the expenses of the Fund are reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.
Profitability. With regard to profitability, the Trustees considered the compensation flowing to CSIM and its affiliates, directly or indirectly. In this connection, the Trustees reviewed management’s profitability analyses, together with certain commentary thereon from an independent accounting firm. The Trustees also considered any other benefits derived by CSIM from its relationship with the Fund, such as whether, by virtue of its management of the Fund, CSIM obtains investment information or other research resources that aid it in providing advisory services to other clients. The Trustees
considered whether the compensation and profitability with respect to the Fund under the Agreement and other service agreements were reasonable and justified in light of the quality of all services rendered to the Fund by CSIM and its affiliates. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the profitability of CSIM is reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.
Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered the existence of any economies of scale and whether those are passed along to the Fund’s shareholders through a graduated investment advisory fee schedule or other means, including any fee waivers by CSIM and its affiliates. In this regard, and consistent with their consideration of Fund expenses, the Trustees considered that CSIM and Schwab have previously committed resources to minimize the effects on shareholders of diseconomies of scale during periods when Fund assets were relatively small through their contractual expense waivers. For example, such diseconomies of scale may particularly affect newer funds or funds with investment strategies that are from time to time out of favor, but shareholders may benefit from the continued availability of such funds at subsidized expense levels. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the Fund obtains reasonable benefit from economies of scale.
In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information or factor that was all important or controlling. Based on the Trustees’ deliberation and their evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the Agreement with respect to the Fund and concluded that the compensation under the Agreement with respect to the Fund is fair and reasonable in light of such services and expenses and such other matters as the Trustees have considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment.
