All fund and index figures on this page assume dividends and distributions were reinvested. Index figures do not include trading and management costs, which would lower performance. Indices are unmanaged, and you cannot invest in them directly. Performance results less than one year are not annualized. Performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares.
 
Investment returns will fluctuate and are subject to market volatility, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed or sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Unlike mutual funds, shares of ETFs are not individually redeemable directly with the ETF. Shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.
 
Index ownership—“Dow Jones” and the names identifying the Dow Jones Indexes are service marks of Dow Jones Trademark Holdings, LLC, (“Dow Jones”), have been licensed to CME Group Index Services LLC (“CME Indexes”), and sublicensed for use for certain purposes by CSIM, the fund’s investment adviser. Fees payable under the license are paid by CSIM. The Schwab U.S. ETFs, based on their respective Dow Jones Indexes, are not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by Dow Jones or CME Indexes and neither makes any representation regarding the advisability of trading in such products.
 
The report period covers the six months beginning September 1, 2010 through February 28, 2011, except where noted.
 
**  Total returns are since inception date of 1/13/11. Inception represents the date that the shares began trading in the secondary market. These total returns may differ from those disclosed in the Financial Highlights, as the total returns in the Financial Highlights are calculated from the commencement of operations date which is the first day the NAV was determined.
 
The fund’s per share net asset value (“NAV”) is the value of one share of the fund. NAV is calculated by taking the fund’s total assets (including the market value of securities owned), subtracting liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV Return is based on the NAV of the fund, and the Market Price Return is based on the market price per share of the fund. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which the shares of the fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the fund’s NAV is calculated. NAV is used as a proxy for purposes of calculating Market Price Return on inception date. Market Price and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively.
 
The Morningstar Category return represents all passively- and actively-managed ETFs within the category as of the report date.

From the President
 

CHANDOHA PHOTO
 
Marie Chandoha is President and CEO of Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. and the funds covered in this report.
 
Equity markets strengthened, boosted by strong corporate earnings and actions by the Federal Reserve to bolster economic growth through accommodative monetary policy.

 
Dear Shareholder,
 
It is a pleasure to write to you in connection with the accompanying semiannual report for the Schwab U.S. ETFs for the six-month period that ended February 28, 2011. This report includes the newly launched U.S. Mid-Cap ETFtm, from its inception January 13 through February 28, 2011.
 
The U.S. economy continued to slowly rebound from the 2008 financial crisis. Equity markets strengthened, boosted by strong corporate earnings and actions by the Federal Reserve to bolster economic growth through accommodative monetary policy. U.S. stocks rose across all market capitalization sectors, with small-cap stocks leading the way.
 
The global economy was not without its hiccups, however. By the end of 2010, Europe’s weakest economies had received help from their stronger neighbor nations. Political upheaval in the Middle East and northern Africa roiled oil and other commodities markets. Inflation also began to concern many investors who viewed the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy as too stimulative.
 
All six of the Schwab U.S. ETFs generated investment returns that were consistent with their respective indexes. For details about each fund’s performance, please see the managers’ discussion and analysis in the following pages.
 
The Schwab U.S. ETFs present investors with a spectrum of investment vehicles in domestic stock markets, from large-cap to small-cap stocks. The U.S. Mid-Cap ETF, launched at the same time as the Schwab U.S. REIT ETFtm, represents the latest addition to the firm’s line of proprietary ETFs and expands the offering to 13 equity and fixed income funds. Our newest ETFs are part of Schwab’s ongoing commitment to offering broad exposure to core market segments at a compelling value.
 
Thank you for investing in the Schwab U.S. ETFs. We encourage you to review your investment portfolio regularly to make sure it meets your current financial plan. For answers to questions you may have or to consult our website for more information, please visit www.schwabetfs.com. We are also happy to hear from you at 1-800-435-4000.
 
Sincerely,
 
-s- Marie Chandoha

The Investment Environment
 
 
Under the umbrella of the Federal Reserve implementing its second phase of quantitative easing (QE2) in November 2010, which included buying an additional $600 billion in longer-term U.S. Treasuries, two themes prevailed during the six-month period under review. First, the Fed maintained its stance of keeping the federal funds rate between 0−0.25%, a range that has been in place since December 2008. Second, strong corporate earnings and balance sheets gave rise to merger and acquisition activity. As a consequence, U.S. and international equity markets benefited from the strong corporate earnings, and investors who had been willing to take on the additional risk associated with the equity markets were generally rewarded.
 
With this as a backdrop, U.S. and international stock markets reported strong returns. For example, the S&P 500 Index® returned 27.73%, the MSCI EAFE® Index returned 23.89%, and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index returned 15.03%.
 
In addition to the U.S. equity markets benefiting from strong corporate earnings, there was also some improvement seen in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth and in unemployment. GDP growth for the fourth quarter of 2010 was 3.1%, up slightly from the 2.6% reported for the third quarter of 2010, and the national unemployment rate was 8.9% for February 2011, compared to 9.6% reported for September 2010 (the beginning of the six-month reporting period).
 
Signs of strength in the global equity markets came from countries such as Russia, Sweden, Germany, and Canada, where all four reported returns of over 30%. However, economies in other countries continued to suffer under unresolved hardship. Ongoing turmoil in some of the euro-zone countries remained intact. Examples included Ireland’s banking industry continuing its struggle to manage heavy debt against high unemployment and some of the economies in southern Europe facing similar challenges.
 
The political uprisings in the Middle East, especially in Egypt and Libya, became the impetus for rising energy prices, as fears that routine transit routes would be disrupted arose. Consequently, Energy was one of the strongest performing sectors on a global level. Industrials and Information Technology also had good returns, while the Utilities Sector was one of the weaker, albeit still positive, performers.
 
Overall, the U.S. and global equity markets had strong returns that provided investors willing to take on the associated risks with the opportunity for capturing market returns.

Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF™
 
 
The Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF (the fund) seeks to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the total return of the Dow Jones U.S. Broad Stock Market IndexSM (the index). The index includes the largest 2,500 constituents in the Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market IndexSM and represents approximately 99% of the investable U.S. stock market by market capitalization. The fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the index that collectively has a similar investment profile to the index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the fund may not hold all of the securities in the index.
 
During the six-month period that ended February 28, 2011, the fund’s market price return was 29.25% and its NAV return was 29.12%. (For an explanation of the market price and NAV returns, please refer to footnote 2 on the following page). The index returned 29.32% during the same period.
 
All sectors reported positive returns in the U.S. Broad Market ETF. The best performing sectors for the fund and the index were Energy and Industrials.

As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: transaction costs, such as brokerage commissions and redemption fees; and 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 September 1, 2010 (or, for the Schwab U.S. Mid-Cap ETF, since commencement of operations on January 12, 2011) and held through February 28, 2011.
 
Actual Return lines in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value ¸ $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund or share class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”
 
Hypothetical Return lines in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed return of 5% per year before expenses. Because the return used is not an actual return, it may not be used to estimate the actual ending account value or expenses you paid for the period.
 
You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs, including any redemption fees or brokerage commissions you may pay when purchasing or redeeming shares of the fund. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

These transactions are usually in exchange for a basket of securities and an amount of cash. As a practical matter, only institutions purchase or redeem Creation Units. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of the fund are not redeemable securities.
 
Fund shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of the shares of each fund will approximate its NAV, there may be times when the market price and the NAV vary significantly.
 
Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF, Schwab U.S. Large-Cap ETF and Schwab U.S. Small-Cap ETF commenced operations on October 30, 2009. Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF and Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Value ETF commenced operations on December 9, 2009. Schwab U.S. Mid-Cap ETF commenced operations on January 12, 2011.
 
Each fund maintains its own account for purposes of holding assets and accounting, and is considered a separate entity for tax purposes. Within its account, each fund may also keep certain assets in segregated accounts, as required by securities law.
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
 
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies the funds use in the preparation of their financial statements. The accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
 
(a) Security Valuation:
 
The funds value the securities in their portfolios every business day. The funds use the following policies to value various types of securities:
 
  •  Bonds and notes: valued at the bid or at halfway between the most recent bid and asked quotes or, if such quotes are unavailable, at prices for securities of comparable maturity, credit quality and type. Valuations for bonds and notes are provided by an independent bond-pricing service.
 
  •  Securities traded on an exchange or over-the-counter: valued at the closing value for the day, or, on days when no closing value has been reported, halfway between the most recent bid and asked quotes. Securities that are primarily traded on foreign exchanges are valued at the closing values of such securities on their respective exchanges with these values then translated into U.S. dollars at the valuation date exchange rate.
 
  •  Securities for which no quoted value is available: The Board of Trustees has adopted procedures to fair value each fund’s securities when market prices are not “readily available” or are unreliable. For example, a fund may fair value a security when a security 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 when a security’s primary trading market is closed during regular market hours. Each fund makes fair value determinations in good faith in accordance with the fund’s valuation procedures. The Board of Trustees regularly reviews fair value determinations made by the funds pursuant to the procedures.
 
  •  Short-term securities (60 days or less to maturity): valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
  •  Underlying funds: valued at their respective net asset values.
 
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (level 3 measurements).
 
If the funds determine that either the volume and/or level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased (from normal conditions for that asset or liability) or price quotations or observable inputs are not associated with orderly transactions, increased analysis and management judgment will be required to estimate fair value.
 
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
 
  •  Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. — Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equities. The funds do not adjust the quoted price for such investments, even in situations where the funds hold a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.
 
  •  Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) — Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but whose values are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified as Level 2 prices. These generally include U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, certain mortgage products, less liquid listed equities, and state, municipal and provincial obligations. As investments whose values are classified as Level 2 prices include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information.
 
  •  Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) — Investments whose values are classified as Level 3 prices have significant unobservable inputs, as they may trade infrequently or not at all. When observable prices are not available for these securities, the funds use one or more valuation techniques for which sufficient and reliable data is available. The inputs used by the funds in estimating the value of Level 3 prices may include the original transaction price, quoted prices for similar securities or assets in active markets, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows. Level 3 prices may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the funds in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the funds due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the funds’ results of operations.
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the funds’ investments as of February 28, 2011:

All net realized and change in unrealized gains (losses) on Level 3 investments in the tables above are reflected on the accompanying Statements of Operations. Changes in net unrealized gains (losses) for Level 3 Investments held by the Schwab U.S. Small-Cap ETF at February 28, 2011 are ($16,570).
 
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued new guidance requiring reporting entities to make new disclosures about amounts and reasons for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements as well as inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3, and information on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of Level 3 securities on a gross basis. The new and revised disclosures are required to be implemented for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures surrounding purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of Level 3 fair value measurements on a gross basis, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years.
 
The funds have adopted the new guidance for the current period ended February 28, 2011. There were no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for the period ended February 28, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the other provisions of the new guidance on the funds’ financial statements.
 
(b) Portfolio Investments:
 
Securities Lending: Under the Securities Lending Program, a fund (the “lender”) may make short-term loans of their securities to another party (the “borrower”). When the fund lends securities, the borrower provides cash, U.S. government securities or letters of credit as collateral against the loans in an amount at least equal to 100% of the market value of the loaned securities. The cash collateral of securities loaned is invested in money market portfolios registered under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. The investments of collateral are mark-to-market daily and the value of the collateral must be at least 100% of the market value of the loan securities each day. If the value of the collateral falls below 100%, it will be adjusted the following day.
 
(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.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
(d) Investment Income:
 
Interest income is recorded as it accrues. Dividends and distributions from portfolio securities and underlying funds are recorded on the date they are effective (the ex-dividend date), although the funds record certain foreign security dividends on the day they learn of the ex-dividend date.
 
(e) Expenses:
 
Expenses that are specific to a fund within the trust are charged directly to that fund. The investment adviser will pay the operating expenses of the funds, excluding interest expenses, taxes, any brokerage expenses, and extraordinary or non-routine expenses.
 
(f) Distributions to Shareholders:
 
The funds make distributions from net investment income every quarter and net realized capital gains, if any, once a year.
 
(g) Accounting Estimates:
 
The accounting policies described in this report conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 estimates may be material.
 
(h) Federal Income Taxes:
 
The funds intend to meet federal income and excise tax requirements for regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the funds distribute substantially all of their net investment income and realized net capital gains (if any) to their respective shareholders each year. As long as a fund meets the tax requirements, it is not required to pay federal income tax.
 
(i) Indemnification:
 
Under the funds’ organizational documents, the officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the funds. In addition, in the normal course of business the funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide general indemnifications. The funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the funds. However, based on experience, the funds expect the risk of loss to the fund to be remote.
 
3. Risk Factors:
 
Investing in the funds may involve certain risks, as described in the funds’ prospectus, including, but not limited to, those described below:
 
Stock markets rise and fall daily. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of the investments in a fund will fluctuate, which means that the investors could lose money.
 
The prices of equity securities rise and fall daily. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, industries or the securities market as a whole. Individual companies may report poor results or be negatively affected by industry and/or economic trends and developments. The prices of securities issued by such companies may suffer a decline in response. In addition, the equity market tends to move in cycles which may cause stock prices to fall over short or extended periods of time.
 
Historically, small and mid company stocks have been riskier than large company stocks. Stock prices of smaller companies may be based in substantial part on future expectations rather than current achievements and may move sharply, especially during market upturns and downturns. Smaller companies themselves may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. During a period when small-cap stocks fall behind other types of investments — bonds, large-cap stocks and mid-cap stocks — a fund’s performance, to the extent invested in small-cap stocks, also will lag those other types of investments.

3. Risk Factors (continued):
 
The funds are not actively managed. Therefore, the funds follow the stocks included in the index during upturns as well as downturns. Because of its indexing strategy, the funds do 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 funds’ performance is normally below that of the index.
 
Certain funds may not fully replicate the index and may hold securities not included in the index. As a result, these funds are subject to the risk that the investment adviser’s investment management strategy, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results. Because these funds use a sampling approach, they may not track the return of the index as well as they would if the funds purchased all of the equity securities in the index.
 
A fund’s returns may not match the return of its index due to differences between a fund’s securities and those in the index. Tracking error also may be attributable to a fund’s inability to match the securities’ weighting to its index or due to regulatory, operational or liquidity constraints. A fund also incurs fees and expenses while the index does not, which may result in tracking error.
 
A fund’s use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments 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 larger impact on the fund.
 
To the extent that the funds’ or the indices’ portfolios are concentrated in the securities of issuers in a particular market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class, the funds 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.
 
A particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell. The funds may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price.
 
A fund may lend its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers, and other financial institutions provided a number of conditions are satisfied, including that the loan is fully collateralized. 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.
 
Fund shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of the shares of the fund will approximate the fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price and the NAV vary significantly. Investors may pay more than NAV when they buy shares of the fund in the secondary market, and may receive less than NAV when they sell those shares in the secondary market.
 
An investment in a fund is not a bank deposit and it is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency.
 
Please refer to the funds’ prospectus for a complete description of the principal risks of investing in the funds.
 
4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions:
 
Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (“CSIM” or the “investment adviser”), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Charles Schwab Corporation, serves as each fund’s investment adviser pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement (Advisory Agreement) between it and the trust.
 
For its advisory and administrative services to each fund, the investment adviser is entitled to receive an annual fee payable monthly based on the fund’s average daily net assets described as follows:

The funds may engage in direct transactions with certain other Schwab ETFs when practical. When one fund is seeking to sell a security that another is seeking to buy, an interfund transaction can allow both funds to benefit by reducing transaction costs. This practice is limited to funds that share the same investment adviser, trustees and officers. During the period ended February 28, 2011, there were no security transactions with other Schwab ETFs.
 
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the funds may enter into interfund borrowing and lending transactions within the Schwab Funds including Schwab ETFs. All loans are for temporary or emergency purposes only. The interest rate charged on the 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 of the Board of Trustees. The funds had no interfund borrowing or lending activity during the period.
 
5. Other Service Providers:
 
SEI Investments Distribution Co. (the “Distributor”) is the principal underwriter and distributor of shares of the funds.
 
State Street Bank and Trust Company serves as the funds’ transfer agent. As part of these services, the transfer agent maintains records pertaining to the sale, redemption and transfer of the funds’ shares.
 
State Street Bank and Trust Company also serves as custodian and accountant for the funds. The custodian is responsible for the daily safekeeping of securities and cash held or sold by the funds. The funds’ accountant maintains all books and records related to the funds’ transactions.
 
6. Board of Trustees:
 
Trustees may include people who are officers and/or directors of the investment adviser or an affiliate. 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 persons for their service as trustees.
 
7. Purchases and Sales/Maturities of Investment Securities:
 
For the period ended February 28, 2011, purchases and sales/maturities of securities (excluding in-kind transactions and short-term obligations) were as follows:

The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a fund generally consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of equity securities, which constitutes an optimized representation of the securities involved in a relevant fund’s underlying index, and an amount of cash. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the administrator, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.
 
The in-kind transactions for the period ended February 28, 2011 were as follows:
 
                 
   
In-kind Purchases
 
In-kind Sales

For period ended February 28, 2011, certain funds realized net capital gains or losses resulting from in-kind redemptions of large blocks of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”). Because such gains or losses are not taxable to the funds and are not distributed to existing fund shareholders, the gains or losses are reclassified from accumulated net realized gains or losses to paid-in-capital at the end of the funds’ tax year. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. The net realized in-kind gains or losses for the period ended February 28, 2011 are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Operations.
 
9. Federal Income Taxes
 
For tax purposes, net realized capital losses occurring after October 31, may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. As of August 31, 2010, capital losses deferred for each fund were as follows:

    $132,136       $115,105       $90,359       $113,939       $—       $374,065  
 
Management has reviewed the funds’ tax positions taken for its open income tax period ended August 31, 2010, and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the funds’ financial statements. The funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period ended August 31, 2010, the funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
 
On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (“the Act”) was signed by The President. The Act is the first major piece of legislation affecting Regulated Investment Companies (“RICs”) since 1986 and it modernizes several of the federal income and excise tax provisions related to RICs.
 
Certain of the enacted provisions include:
 
Post-enactment capital losses may now be carried forward indefinitely, but must retain the character of the original loss. Under pre-enactment law, capital losses could be carried forward for eight years, and carried forward as short-term capital, irrespective of the character of the original loss.
 
The Act contains simplification provisions, which are aimed at preventing disqualification of a RIC for “inadvertent” failures of the asset diversification and/or qualifying income tests. Additionally, the Act exempts RICs from the preferential dividend rule, and repeals the 60-day designation requirement for certain types of pay-through income and gains.
 
Finally, the Act contains several provisions aimed at preserving the character of distributions made by a fiscal year RIC during the portion of its taxable year ending after October 31 or December 31, reducing the circumstances under which a RIC might be required to file amended Forms 1099 to restate previously reported distributions.

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.
 
Initial Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement
 
The Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”, as appropriate) called and held a meeting on November 18, 2010, in part, for the purpose of considering whether to appoint Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (“CSIM”) as investment adviser to the Schwab U.S. Mid-Cap ETF (the “Fund”) under the investment advisory agreement between Schwab Strategic Trust (the “Trust’) and CSIM (the “Agreement”). In preparation for the meeting, the Board requested and reviewed a variety of materials provided by CSIM with respect to the services to be provided to the Fund under the Agreement. The Independent Trustees met in executive session outside the presence of fund management and participated in question and answer sessions with representatives of CSIM.
 
The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees approved the Agreement with respect to the Fund. The Board’s approval was based on consideration and evaluation of a variety of specific factors discussed at this meeting, including:
 
1.  the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund under the Agreement, including the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund;
 
2.  CSIM’s investment performance in managing other Fund having relevant investment objectives and strategies;
 
3.  the Fund’s estimated expenses and how those expenses compared to those of certain other comparable exchange-traded funds;
 
4.  the profitability of CSIM and its affiliates, including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), with respect to management of other funds, including both direct and indirect benefits accruing to CSIM and its affiliates; and
 
5.  the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels in the Agreement relating to the Fund reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors.
 
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by CSIM to the Fund and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates will dedicate to the Fund. In this regard, the trustees evaluated, among other things, CSIM’s personnel, experience, track record and compliance program. The trustees also considered the fact that Schwab’s extensive branch network, Internet access, investment and research tools, telephone services, and array of account features may be expected to benefit the Fund and its shareholders. The trustees also considered Schwab’s excellent reputation as a full service brokerage firm and its overall financial condition. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by CSIM to the Fund and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund supported approval of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.
 
Performance. With regard to Fund performance, since the Fund had not commenced operations and therefore did not have any performance of its own, the Board considered performance of other funds having comparable investment objectives in determining whether to approve the Agreement. The trustees also considered both risk and shareholder risk expectations for the Fund and the appropriateness of the benchmark that would be used to compare the performance of the Fund. Following such evaluation the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the performance of CSIM supported approval of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.
 
Fund Expenses. With respect to the Fund’s expenses, the trustees considered the rate of compensation called for by the Agreement, and the Fund’s estimated net operating expense ratio in comparison to those of other comparable exchange-traded funds. The Board evaluated the Fund’s unitary fee through review of comparative information with respect to fees paid by similar exchange-traded funds tracking equity indexes. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the expenses of the Fund are reasonable and supported approval of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.
 
Profitability. With regard to profitability, the trustees considered the compensation flowing to CSIM and its affiliates directly or indirectly. 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 varied
 
 
 
106 


 

levels of compensation and profitability 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 expected profitability of CSIM, albeit uncertain, is reasonable and supported approval of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.
 
Economies of Scale. Recognizing that the Fund had not yet commenced operations and had no assets, the Trustees considered the possible development of any economies of scale and whether those could be expected to be passed along to the Fund’s shareholders through various efficiencies that may result from increases in the Fund’s assets. The Board determined that such economies of scale will be shared by way of the relatively low advisory fee and unitary fee structure of the Fund, although the Board will continue to monitor fees as the Fund grows in size and assess whether breakpoints may be warranted. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the Fund may be expected to obtain reasonable benefit from economies of scale if such economies develop.
 
In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information or factor that was all important or controlling. Based on the Trustees’ deliberation and their evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the Agreement as it relates to the Fund and concluded that the compensation under the Agreement relating to the Fund is fair and reasonable in light of such services and expenses and such other matters as the Trustees have considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment.

beta A historical measure of an investment’s volatility relative to a market index (usually the S&P 500®). The index is defined as having a beta of 1.00. Investments with a beta higher than 1.00 have been more volatile than the index; those with a beta of less than 1.00 have been less volatile.
 
bid The highest price at which someone is willing to buy a security.
 
cap, capitalization See “market cap.”
 
capital gain, capital loss The difference between the amount paid for an investment and its value at a later time. If the investment has been sold, the capital gain or loss is considered a realized gain or loss. If the investment is still held, the gain or loss is still “on paper” and is considered unrealized.
 
commencement of operations The date that the first NAV was calculated.
 
creation unit (C.U.) A basket of securities that is delivered by an authorized participant (AP) to the fund equal to the current holdings of the ETF, plus a designated cash component. In return, the APs receive a large block of ETF shares (typically 50,000 shares), which investors can then buy and sell in the secondary market.
 
exchange A marketplace, or any organization or group that provides or maintains a marketplace for trading securities, options, futures, or commodities.

median market cap The midpoint of the range of market caps of the stocks held by a fund. There are different ways of calculating median market cap. With a simple median, half of the stocks in the fund’s portfolio would be larger than the median, and half would be smaller. With a weighted median (the type that is calculated for these funds), half of the fund’s assets are invested in stocks that are larger than the median market cap, and half in stocks that are smaller.

All fund and index figures on this page assume dividends and distributions were reinvested. Index figures do not include trading and management costs, which would lower performance. Indices are unmanaged, and you cannot invest in them directly. Performance results less than one year are not annualized. Performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares.
 
Investment returns will fluctuate and are subject to market volatility, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed or sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Unlike mutual funds, shares of ETFs are not individually redeemable directly with the ETF. Shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.

The report period covers the six months beginning September 1, 2010 through February 28, 2011.
 
The fund’s per share net asset value (“NAV”) is the value of one share of the fund. NAV is calculated by taking the fund’s total assets (including the market value of securities owned), subtracting liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV Return is based on the NAV of the fund, and the Market Price Return is based on the market price per share of the fund. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which the shares of the fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the fund’s NAV is calculated. NAV is used as a proxy for purposes of calculating Market Price Return on inception date. Market Price and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

From the President

Marie Chandoha is President and CEO of Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. and the funds covered in this report.
 
Over the last six months, the global equity markets rebounded from the 2008 financial crisis.

 
Dear Shareholder,
 
It is a pleasure to write to you in connection with the accompanying semiannual report for the Schwab International ETFs for the six-month period that ended February 28, 2011.
 
Over the last six months, the global equity markets rebounded from the 2008 financial crisis. Currencies overseas appreciated and many countries experienced robust economic growth, boosted by strong corporate earnings. The United States, an important trading partner for many international companies, began to show signs of positive economic trends, rallied by the U.S. Federal Reserve’s actions to spur economic growth through accommodative monetary policy.
 
The global economy was not without its hiccups, however. By the end of 2010, Europe’s weakest economies had received help from their stronger neighbor nations. Political upheaval in the Middle East and northern Africa roiled oil and other commodities markets. Inflation also began to concern many policy makers and investors who viewed the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy as too stimulative.
 
Despite these issues, international equities rewarded investors with double-digit positive returns, as evidenced by the ETFs’ three comparative indexes. A broad index of large and mid-capitalization companies in developed countries outside the United States, the FTSE Developed ex-US Index, returned 24.2% during the reporting period. The FTSE Developed Small Cap ex-US Liquid Index of small capitalization stocks overseas returned 29.5% and the FTSE All-Emerging Index of large- and mid-capitalization stocks in developing countries returned 14.9%.
 
All three of the Schwab International ETFs generated investment returns that were consistent with returns of their respective comparative indexes. For details about each fund’s performance, please see the managers’ discussion and analysis in the following pages.

The Investment Environment
 
 
Under the umbrella of the Federal Reserve implementing its second phase of quantitative easing (QE2) in November 2010, which included buying an additional $600 billion in longer-term U.S. Treasuries, two themes prevailed during the six-month period under review. First, the Fed maintained its stance of keeping the federal funds rate between 0−0.25%, a range that has been in place since December 2008. Second, strong corporate earnings and balance sheets gave rise to merger and acquisition activity. As a consequence, U.S. and international equity markets benefited from the strong corporate earnings, and investors who had been willing to take on the additional risk associated with the equity markets were generally rewarded.
 
With this as a backdrop, U.S. and international stock markets reported strong returns. For example, the S&P 500 Index® returned 27.73%, the MSCI EAFE® Index returned 23.89%, and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index returned 15.03%.
 
In addition to the U.S. equity markets benefiting from strong corporate earnings, there was also some improvement seen in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth and in unemployment. GDP growth for the fourth quarter of 2010 was 3.1%, up slightly from the 2.6% reported for the third quarter of 2010, and the national unemployment rate was 8.9% for February 2011, compared to 9.6% reported for September 2010 (the beginning of the six-month reporting period).
 
Signs of strength in the global equity markets came from countries such as Russia, Sweden, Germany, and Canada, where all four reported returns of over 30%. However, economies in other countries continued to suffer under unresolved hardship. Ongoing turmoil in some of the euro-zone countries remained intact. Examples included Ireland’s banking industry continuing its struggle to manage heavy debt against high unemployment and some of the economies in southern Europe facing similar challenges.
 
The political uprisings in the Middle East, especially in Egypt and Libya, became the impetus for rising energy prices, as fears that routine transit routes would be disrupted arose. Consequently, Energy was one of the strongest performing sectors on a global level. Industrials and Information Technology also had good returns, while the Utilities Sector was one of the weaker, albeit still positive, performers.
 
Overall, the U.S. and global equity markets had strong returns that provided investors willing to take on the associated risks with the opportunity for capturing market returns.

Schwab International Equity ETF™
 
 
The Schwab International Equity ETF (the fund) seeks to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the total return of the FTSE Developed ex-US Index (the index). The index includes the top 90% of market capitalization companies from eligible Global Equity ex U.S. Investable Stock (GEIS) securities in developed markets, as defined by FTSE. The index is comprised of approximately 85% large-cap and 15% mid-cap stocks. The fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the index that collectively has a similar profile to the index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the fund may not hold all of the securities included in the index.
 
During the six-month period that ended February 28, 2011, the fund’s market price return was 24.99% and its NAV return was 24.03%. (For an explanation of the market price and NAV returns, please refer to footnote 2 on the following page). The index returned 24.21% during the same period.
 
All countries reported positive returns for the fund and the index. The best performing markets were Norway, Austria and Sweden, all returning over 30%, while most Asian markets reported lower returns. The United Kingdom and Japan, both with average weights of over 17% of the fund and index, were the top contributors, while Greece was the bottom contributor to the fund and index returns.

All total returns on this page assume dividends and distributions were reinvested. Index figures do not include trading and management costs, which would lower performance. Indices are unmanaged, and you cannot invest in them directly. Performance results less than one year are not annualized.
 
International investing may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuation in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principals, or from economic or political instability in other nations.
 
Emerging markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors as well as increased volatility and lower trading volume.

* Inception represents the date that the shares began trading in the secondary market.
1 Performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares.
2 The fund’s per share net asset value (“NAV”) is the value of one share of the fund. NAV is calculated by taking the fund’s total assets (including the market value of securities owned), subtracting liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV Return is based on the NAV of the fund, and the Market Price Return is based on the market price per share of the fund. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which the shares of the fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the fund’s NAV is calculated. NAV is used as a proxy for purposes of calculating Market Price Return on inception date. Market Price and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

4 As stated in the prospectus.
5 Source: Morningstar, Inc. This style assessment is the result of evaluating the fund based on a ten-factor model for value and growth characteristics. The fund’s market capitalization placement is determined by the geometric mean of its holdings’ market capitalizations. The assessment reflects the fund’s portfolio as of 2/28/11, which may have changed since then, and is not a precise indication of risk or performance—past, present, or future.

Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
 
 Examples for a $1,000 Investment
 
As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: transaction costs, such as brokerage commissions and redemption fees; and 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 September 1, 2010 and held through February 28, 2011.
 
Actual Return lines in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value ¸ $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund or share class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”
 
Hypothetical Return lines in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed return of 5% per year before expenses. Because the return used is not an actual return, it may not be used to estimate the actual ending account value or expenses you paid for the period.
 
You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs, including any redemption fees and brokerage commissions you may pay when purchasing or redeeming shares of the fund. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1. Business Structure of the Funds
 
Each of the funds discussed in this report is a series of Schwab Strategic Trust (the “trust”), a no-load, open-end management investment company. The trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The list below shows all the funds in the trust including the funds discussed in this report, which are highlighted:
 
         
 
Schwab Strategic Trust (organized January 27, 2009)
       
Schwab International Equity ETF
  Schwab U.S. Mid-Cap ETF    
Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF
  Schwab U.S. Small-Cap ETF    
Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF
  Schwab U.S. REIT ETF    
Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF
  Schwab U.S. TIPS ETF    
Schwab U.S. Large-Cap ETF
  Schwab U.S. Short-Term U.S. Treasury ETF    
Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF
  Schwab U.S. Intermediate-Term U.S. Treasury ETF    
Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Value ETF
       
 
 
The funds issue and redeem shares at their net assets value (“NAV”) only in large blocks of shares, typically 50,000 shares or more (“Creation Units”). These transactions are usually in exchange for a basket of securities and an amount of cash. As a practical matter, only institutions purchase or redeem Creation Units. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of the fund are not redeemable securities.
 
Fund shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of the shares of each fund will approximate its NAV, there may be times when the market price and the NAV vary significantly.
 
Schwab International Equity ETF commenced operations on October 30, 2009. Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF and Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF commenced operations on January 13, 2010.
 
Each fund maintains its own account for purposes of holding assets and accounting, and is considered a separate entity for tax purposes. Within its account, each fund may also keep certain assets in segregated accounts, as required by securities law.
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
 
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies the funds used in the preparation of their financial statements. The accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”)
 
(a) Security Valuation:
 
The funds value the securities in their portfolios every business day. The funds use the following policies to value various types of securities:
 
  •  Securities traded on an exchange or over-the-counter: valued at the closing value for the day, or, on days when no closing value has been reported, halfway between the most recent bid and asked quotes. Securities that are primarily traded on foreign exchanges are valued at the closing values of such securities on their respective exchanges with these values then translated into U.S. dollars at the valuation date exchange rate.
 
  •  Securities for which no quoted value is available: The Board of Trustees has adopted procedures to fair value each fund’s securities when market prices are not “readily available” or are unreliable. For example, a fund may fair value a security when a security 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 when a security’s primary trading market is closed during regular market hours. Each fund makes fair value determinations in good faith in accordance with the fund’s valuation procedures. The Board of Trustees regularly reviews fair value determinations made by the funds pursuant to the procedures.
 
  •  Forward contracts: value based on that day’s exchange rates.
 
  •  Short-term securities (60 days or less to maturity): valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
 
  •  Underlying funds: valued at their respective net asset values.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (level 3 measurements).
 
If the funds determine that either the volume and/or level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased (from normal conditions for that asset or liability) or price quotations or observable inputs are not associated with orderly transactions, increased analysis and management judgment will be required to estimate fair value.
 
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
 
  •  Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. — Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equities. The funds do not adjust the quoted price for such investments, even in situations where the funds hold a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.
 
  •  Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) — Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but whose values are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified as Level 2 prices. These generally include U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, certain mortgage products, less liquid listed equities, and state, municipal and provincial obligations. As investments whose values are classified as Level 2 prices include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information.
 
  •  Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) — Investments whose values are classified as Level 3 prices have significant unobservable inputs, as they may trade infrequently or not at all. When observable prices are not available for these securities, the funds use one or more valuation techniques for which sufficient and reliable data is available. The inputs used by the funds in estimating the value of Level 3 prices may include the original transaction price, quoted prices for similar securities or assets in active markets, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows. Level 3 prices may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the funds in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the funds due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the funds’ results of operations.
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the funds’ investments as of February 28, 2011:

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued new guidance requiring reporting entities to make new disclosures about amounts and reasons for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements as well as inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3, and information on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of Level 3 securities on a gross basis. The new and revised disclosures are required to be implemented for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures surrounding purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of Level 3 fair value measurements on a gross basis, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years.
 
The funds have adopted the new guidance for the current period ended February 28, 2011. There were no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for the period ended February 28, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the other provisions of the new guidance on the funds’ financial statements.
 
(b) Portfolio Investments:
 
Securities Lending: Under the Securities Lending Program, a fund (the “lender”) may make short-term loans of their securities to another party (the “borrower”). When the fund lends securities, the borrower provides cash, U.S. government securities or letters of credit as collateral against the loans in an amount at least equal to 100% of the market value of the loaned securities.

Financial Notes, unaudited (continued)
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
The cash collateral of securities loaned is invested in money market portfolios registered under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. The investments of collateral are mark-to-market daily and the value of the collateral must be at least 100% of the market value of the loan securities each day. If the value of the collateral falls below 100%, it will be adjusted the following day.
 
(c) Security Transactions:
 
Security transactions are recorded as of the date the order to buy or sell the security is executed. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are based on the identified costs of the securities involved.
 
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are reported in U.S. dollars. For assets and liabilities held on a given date, the dollar value is based on market exchange rates in effect on that date. Transactions involving foreign currencies, including purchases, sales, income receipts and expense payments, are calculated using exchange rates in effect on the transaction date. Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the differences between the recorded amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholdings taxes and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign denominated assets and liabilities other than investments in securities held at the end of the reporting period. The funds do not isolate the portion of the fluctuations on investments resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates from the fluctuations in market prices of investments held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
 
Gains realized by the funds on the sale of securities in certain foreign countries may be subject to non-U.S. taxes. The funds record a liability based on unrealized gains to provide for potential non-U.S. taxes payable upon the sale of these securities.
 
When a fund closes out a forwards 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. A fund records the daily change in market value of futures and also the change in the amount of margin deposit required (“due to / from broker”).
 
(d) Investment Income:
 
Interest income is recorded as it accrues. Dividends and distributions from portfolio securities and underlying funds are recorded on the date they are effective (the ex-dividend date), although the funds record certain foreign security dividends on the day they learn of the ex-dividend date.
 
(e) Expenses:
 
Expenses that are specific to a fund within the trust are charged directly to that fund. The investment adviser will pay the operating expenses of the funds, excluding interest expenses, taxes, any brokerage expenses, and extraordinary or non-routine expenses.
 
(f) Distributions to Shareholders:
 
The funds make distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, once a year.
 
(g) Accounting Estimates:
 
The accounting policies described in this report conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 estimates may be material.
 
(h) Federal Income Taxes:
 
The funds intend to meet federal income and excise tax requirements for regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the funds distribute substantially all of their net investment income and realized net capital gains (if any) to their respective shareholders each year. As long as a fund meets the tax requirements, it is not required to pay federal income tax.

Financial Notes, unaudited (continued)
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
(i) Foreign Taxes:
 
The funds may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, corporate events, foreign currency exchanges, capital gains on investments on currency repatriation. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in foreign markets in which the funds invest. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the funds and are disclosed in the Statement of Operations, Foreign taxes payable as of February 28, 2011, if any, are reflected in the funds’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
 
(j) Indemnification:
 
Under the funds’ organizational documents, the officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the funds. In addition, in the normal course of business the funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide general indemnifications. The funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the funds. However, based on experience, the funds expect the risk of loss to the fund to be remote.
 
3. Risk Factors:
 
Investing in the funds may involve certain risks, as described in the funds’ prospectus, including, but not limited to, those described below:
 
Stock markets rise and fall daily. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of the investments in a fund will fluctuate, which means that the investors could lose money.
 
The prices of equity securities rise and fall daily. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, industries or the securities market as a whole. Individual companies may report poor results or be negatively affected by industry and/or economic trends and developments. The prices of securities issued by such companies may suffer a decline in response. In addition, the equity market tends to move in cycles which may cause stock prices to fall over short or extended periods of time.
 
Historically, small and mid company stocks have been riskier than large company stocks. Stock prices of smaller companies may be based in substantial part on future expectations rather than current achievements and may move sharply, especially during market upturns and downturns. Smaller companies themselves may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. During a period when small-cap stocks fall behind other types of investments — bonds, large-cap stocks and mid-cap stocks — a fund’s performance, to the extent invested in small-cap stocks, also will lag those other types of investments.
 
The funds are not actively managed. Therefore, the funds follow the stocks included in the index during upturns as well as downturns. Because of its indexing strategy, the funds do 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 funds’ performance is normally below that of the index.
 
The funds’ investments in securities of foreign issuers 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, or changes in currency exchange rates or exchange control regulations (including limitations on currency movements and exchanges). In certain countries, legal remedies available to investors may be more limited than those available with respect to investments in the United States. The securities of some foreign issuers may be less liquid and, at times, more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. The fundsmay also experience more rapid or extreme changes in value as compared to a fund that invests solely in securities of U.S. companies because the securities’ markets of many foreign countries are relatively small, with a limited number of companies representing a small number of industries. There also is the risk that the cost of buying, selling, and holding foreign securities, including brokerage, tax, and custody costs, may be higher than those involved in domestic transactions.
 
Emerging market countries may be more likely to experience political turmoil or rapid changes in market or economic conditions than more developed countries. Emerging market countries often have less uniformity in accounting and reporting requirements, unreliable securities valuation and greater risk associated with the custody of securities. It is sometimes difficult to obtain and enforce court judgments in such countries and there is often a greater potential for nationalization and/or

3. Risk Factors (continued):
 
expropriation of assets by the government of an emerging market country. 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 the funds’ investments in emerging market countries, which may be magnified by currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar.
 
Foreign securities also include ADRs, which are U.S. dollar-denominated receipts issued by U.S. banks or trust companies that represent shares of foreign-based corporations, and GDRs, which are similar to ADRs, but are shares of foreign-based corporations generally issued by international banks in one or more markets around the world. In addition, foreign securities include EDRs, similar to GDRs, but which are generally issued by European banks that trade on exchanges outside of a bank’s home country. Investment in ADRs, GDRs and EDRs may be less liquid than the underlying shares in their primary trading market and GDRs, many of which are issued by companies in emerging markets, may be more volatile.
 
The funds may not fully replicate the index and may hold securities not included in the index. As a result, the funds are subject to the risk that the investment adviser’s investment management strategy, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results. Because the funds use a sampling approach, they may not track the return of the index as well as they would if the funds purchased all of the equity securities in the index.
 
A fund’s returns may not match the return of its index due to differences between a fund’s securities and those in the index. Tracking error also may be attributable to a fund’s inability to match the securities’ weighting to its index or due to regulatory, operational or liquidity constraints. A fund also incurs fees and expenses while the index does not, which may result in tracking error.
 
A fund’s use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments 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 larger impact on the fund.
 
To the extent that the funds’ or the indices’ portfolios are concentrated in the securities of issuers in a particular market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class, the funds 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.
 
A particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell. The funds may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price.
 
A fund may lend its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers, and other financial institutions provided a number of conditions are satisfied, including that the loan is fully collateralized. 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.
 
Fund shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of the shares of the fund will approximate the fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price and the NAV vary significantly. Investors may pay more than NAV when they buy shares of the fund in the secondary market, and may receive less than NAV when they sell those shares in the secondary market.
 
An investment in a fund is not a bank deposit and it is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency.
 
Please refer to the funds’ prospectus for a complete description of the principal risks of investing in the funds.
 
4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions:
 
Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (“CSIM” or the “investment adviser”), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Charles Schwab Corporation, serves as each fund’s investment adviser pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement (Advisory Agreement) between it and the trust.

 Schwab International ETFs
 

 
Financial Notes, unaudited (continued)
 
4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions (continued):
 
For its advisory and administrative services to each fund, the investment adviser is entitled to receive an annual fee payable monthly based on the fund’s average daily net assets described as follows:
 
                     
    Schwab
   
Schwab
  International
  Schwab
International
  Small-Cap
  Emerging Markets
Equity ETF
 
Equity ETF
 
Equity ETF
 
  0.13%       0.35%       0.25%  
 
The investment adviser will pay the operating expenses of the funds, excluding interest expenses, taxes, any brokerage expenses, and extraordinary or non-routine expenses.
 
The funds may engage in certain transactions involving affiliates. For instance, a fund may own shares of The Charles Schwab Corporation if that company is included in its index. During the period ended February 28, 2011, there were no transactions involving affiliates.
 
The funds may engage in direct transactions with certain other Schwab ETFs when practical. When one fund is seeking to sell a security that another is seeking to buy, an interfund transaction can allow both funds to benefit by reducing transaction costs. This practice is limited to funds that share the same investment adviser, trustees and officers. During the period ended February 28, 2011, there were no security transactions with other Schwab ETFs.
 
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the funds may enter into interfund borrowing and lending transactions within the Schwab Funds including Schwab ETFs. All loans are for temporary or emergency purposes only. The interest rate charged on the 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 of the Board of Trustees. The funds had no interfund borrowing or lending activity during the period.
 
5. Other Service Providers:
 
SEI Investments Distribution Co. (the “Distributor”) is the principal underwriter and distributor of shares of the funds.
 
State Street Bank and Trust Company serves as the funds’ transfer agent. As part of these services, the transfer agent maintains records pertaining to the sale, redemption and transfer of the funds’ shares.
 
State Street Bank and Trust Company also serves as custodian and accountant for the funds. The custodian is responsible for the daily safekeeping of securities and cash held or sold by the funds. The funds’ accountant maintains all books and records related to the funds’ transactions.
 
6. Board of Trustees:
 
Trustees may include people who are officers and/or directors of the investment adviser or an affiliate. 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 persons for their service as trustees.
 
7. Purchases and Sales/Maturities of Investment Securities:
 
For the period ended February 28, 2011, purchases and sales/maturities of securities (excluding in-kind transactions and short-term obligations) were as follows:
 
                 
   
Purchases of Securities
 
Sales/Maturities of Securities

8. In-Kind Transactions:
 
The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a fund generally consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of equity securities, which constitutes an optimized representation of the securities involved in a relevant fund’s underlying index, and an amount of cash. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the administrator, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.
 
The in-kind transactions for the period ended February 28, 2011 were as follows:
 
                 
   
In-kind Purchases
 
In-kind Sales
 
Schwab International Equity ETF
    $203,348,022       $—  
Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF
    69,476,860       5,564,858  
Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF
    92,812,131        
 
For period ended February 28, 2011, there were no in-kind redemptions. However, if the funds have such transactions, they will realize net capital gains or losses resulting from in-kind redemptions of large blocks of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”). Because such gains or losses are not taxable to the funds and are not distributed to existing fund shareholders, the gains or losses are reclassified from accumulated net realized gains or losses to paid-in-capital at the end of the funds’ tax year. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. The net realized in-kind gains or losses will be disclosed in the funds’ Statements of Operations.
 
9. Federal Income Taxes
 
For tax purposes, net realized capital losses occurring after October 31, may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. As of August 31, 2010, capital losses deferred for each fund were as follows:

Deferred capital losses
    $1,532,850       $237,433       $842,882  
 
Management has reviewed the funds’ tax positions taken for its open income tax period ended August 31, 2010, and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the funds’ financial statements. The funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period ended August 31, 2010, the funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
 
On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (“the Act”) was signed by The President. The Act is the first major piece of legislation affecting Regulated Investment Companies (“RICs”) since 1986 and it modernizes several of the federal income and excise tax provisions related to RICs.
 
Certain of the enacted provisions include:
 
Post-enactment capital losses may now be carried forward indefinitely, but must retain the character of the original loss. Under pre-enactment law, capital losses could be carried forward for eight years, and carried forward as short-term capital, irrespective of the character of the original loss.
 
The Act contains simplification provisions, which are aimed at preventing disqualification of a RIC for “inadvertent” failures of the asset diversification and/or qualifying income tests. Additionally, the Act exempts RICs from the preferential dividend rule, and repeals the 60-day designation requirement for certain types of pay-through income and gains.
 
Finally, the Act contains several provisions aimed at preserving the character of distributions made by a fiscal year RIC during the portion of its taxable year ending after October 31 or December 31, reducing the circumstances under which a RIC might be required to file amended Forms 1099 to restate previously reported distributions.
 
Except for the simplification provisions related to RIC qualification, the Act is effective for taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010. The provisions related to RIC qualification are effective for taxable years for which the extended due date of the tax return is after December 22, 2010.

ask See “offer.”
 
asset allocation The practice of dividing a portfolio among different asset classes, with each asset class assigned a particular percentage to help offset risks and rewards, based on your goals, time horizon and risk tolerance.
 
asset class A group of securities with similar structure and basic characteristics. Stocks, bonds and cash are the three main examples of asset classes.
 
authorized participant (AP) A large institutional investor that places orders for creation units with the funds’ distributor.
 
beta A historical measure of an investment’s volatility relative to a market index (usually the S&P 500®). The index is defined as having a beta of 1.00. Investments with a beta higher than 1.00 have been more volatile than the index; those with a beta of less than 1.00 have been less volatile.
 
bid The highest price at which someone is willing to buy a security.
 
cap, capitalization See “market cap.”
 
capital gain, capital loss The difference between the amount paid for an investment and its value at a later time. If the investment has been sold, the capital gain or loss is considered a realized gain or loss. If the investment is still held, the gain or loss is still “on paper” and is considered unrealized.
 
commencement of operations The date that the first NAV was calculated.
 
creation unit (C.U.) A basket of securities that is delivered by an authorized participant (AP) to the fund equal to the current holdings of the ETF, plus a designated cash component. In return, the APs receive a large block of ETF shares (typically 50,000 shares), which investors can then buy and sell in the secondary market.
 
exchange A marketplace, or any organization or group that provides or maintains a marketplace for trading securities, options, futures, or commodities.

median market cap The midpoint of the range of market caps of the stocks held by a fund. There are different ways of calculating median market cap. With a simple median, half of the stocks in the fund’s portfolio would be larger than the median, and half would be smaller. With a weighted median (the type that is calculated for these funds), half of the fund’s assets are invested in stocks that are larger than the median market cap, and half in stocks that are smaller.
